It went across the line much slower than in the three previous laps, all of which were faster than any of Bergere's four laps It was later disclosed that supercharger trouble caused Russo to, let up on the throttle and to finish the fourth lap at a slower speed to save further damage to his engine.

QnY fm an nn it hard to see throughout the four laps because of oil leaking from his engine, blanketing his goggles. He jokingly related how he maneuvered with one hand trying to get his handkerchief out of his pocket, which was buttoned. When he got the handkerchief to his face, the wind sealed it over his goggles and completely cut off his Vision.

Finally he cleaned his glasses sufficiently to peep out enough to see the turns while traveling nearly 1(30 miles an hour. It happened that my prediction of both Bergcre and Russo getting into the front row became a reality, along with the fact that Mauri Rose was unsuccessful with his six-cylinder Blue-Crown Spark Plug Special. Rose's car blew up after his first qualifying lap of 125.980 miles an hour. One of Hose's mechanics said the car really unshelled itself, completely sponged and pressed itself out of the race. It now is under a blanket in a corner of the Blue-Crown garage.

pwp OTHER favorites for the front-row positions also were forced td push their mounts back to the garage on account of engine trouble and were not able to make the qualifying trials Sat- urday or Sunday. Rex Mays, after making a warm-up laps, pulled into the pit area and casually said, "Sumpin's wrong." His connecting rod bearings went to pieces and the car now is disassembled all over the garage and will remain so until better bearing material to rebabbit the rods can be obtained. 4 Ted Horn was all set to go but found that his water pump was acting up, causing the engine to overheat. Until late Saturday night his mechanic, Cotton Henning, was repacking a new water pump for the Italian Maserati, while throwing in a few spaghetti cuss words in a typical Bolognese manner. He learned those while in Italy taking delivery of the car at the factory, in Bologna, Italy.

Hal Cole, driving the Don Lee Special, pushed the car to its utmost with consistent laps in the 121-mile-an-hour range. Total average for four laps was 120.728 miles per hour. He gets first position in the second row. Tommy Milton, first two-time winner of the Indianapolis 500-mile event, paid a fine tribute to smiling Jimmy Jackson, who qualified in fifth position with an average of 120.257 on his first try at qualifying here, by saying that he displayed one of the finest exhibitions of driving he ever witnessed on the Speedway. Coming from Tommy Milton, one of the smartest racing drivers ever to sit behind the wheel of a racing car, that's something! Standing atop the pagoda overlooking the starting line and getting a panoramic view of the entire course, we watched Frank McGurk in his Schoof Special coming out of the north turn into the home stretch.

Suddenly his car went into a loop, caused by a broken crankshaft. Then came a few more dizzy loops and McGurk smacked the outside retaining wall, bounced away and back again. This sent his car pointing straight into the inside retaining wall, which it hit with a terrific thud McGuiTt hung to the wheel like a Trojan to the end, even though he' was in a dazed condtion. He was taken to the hospital for a complete check-up. He escaped serious injury It was Saturday's most exciting event for the spectators and track officials.

Only a miracle kept the car from rolling over. A disappointed crowd of more than 40,000 jammed the highways and byways to witness Sunday's qualifying trials, no one at. tempted to qualify. Only a few cars took practice laps between frequent showers which delayed Sunday's program several times. It almost appeared like race day as thousands of cars lined up from all directions, tolerating the drudgery of moving along the highways at a snail's pace.

Even Tony Hulman, new owner of the Speedway, patiently stood almost all day at the main gate in his desire to fulfill an arrangement made with Mrs. Hulman to meet some friends. He, too, received a good soaking in the rain. TN MAKING a survey Sunday of the garages in which rest those 1 cars which experienced trouble Saturday, mechanics could be seen, bleary-eyed and weary, working away with nuts, bolts and parts scattered all over the place. The majority of cars were troubled with defective connecting-rod bearing material.

This necessitates taking the entire engine apart, cleaning out all the oil lines', which get clogged with flakes of the inferioi" metal. Many of the old timers are making daily appearances at the Speedway. Leon Duray, of California, who long held the record for the fastest lap on the Indianapolis oval of 125 miles per hour; Milton Harry Hartz, greatest second-place winner of all time; Cliff Woodbury, a champion of the board tracks, and Louis Meyer, the first three-time winner here, were among these. Leo Goosen, recognized as one of the best racing-car engineers in this country, having served with Harry Miller for many years as chief engineer, flew here Sunday to accompany Meyer, his new boss, with whom he will be connected since Meyer purchased the Offenbauser Engineering Company of Los Angeles. Russ Riley, popular engineer with Thompson Products, Inc of Cleveland, who is well-known to thousands of replacement jobbers throughout the country, showed up Sunday, offering his assist- ance to any of the boys whp might be confronted with mechanical problems.

He knows the answers Ted Doescher, formerly chief steward of the race, is back again to serve as assistant to the present bossman, Jack Mehan. Standings PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE (Pan Francisco 2-3.
