Lap ptog the bricks at an average of 105 met an boar probably win be considerable work for the car that has three times won the Indianapolis event Corum tn 1934, DePaolo In 1925 and Bonders In 1977.

Kowerer, their lack of speed may be just the factor that win count this year, as it did last. On speed form they probably hare less chance than they hare had In other years. The starting dm era via he Bennle Sboaf, who cot a Duetie to within two laps of the finish last year, when something basted and the car quit; Ira Hall, a dirt track crjr unknown to the speedway, and Charles (Dutch) Bauman. who led the race for a while last year, and who really should have a faster car under him than the Duesiea are. 1 Depend an Stamina.

The Marmon entries bare not been on the speedwaya as much as some of the other cars. When they hare come out they hare not shown any surprising bunts of speed. The, railbird the ory of the Marmons Is that they will depend on some speed, but more stam ina to get them across, the finish line wen up. They hare as drivers Pete Kreia, who has placed trell up in the race In other years, and who understands front (hires perfectly. Pete Is always a good bet on the local track, or any other track.

Johnny Seymour, the second member of the team, while he has less experience than Krels, is a rood (hirer for any car. lie has been racing motorcycles so long that he knows all about speed and how to jude diitance and handle a car properly. He has driven the track well in practice, appearing to be part of the car aa be makes the rounds. Russell Snoberger. a dirt track driver from Philadelphia, is the third member of the team.

Less Is known about him than the others. lie came here last year to drive relief for, Leon Duray, but Duray went out early In the game. new Bates Eights cetkins rood tho alo tLat w'ec teatunnj; I 1 Only jT3 nd jt baa points cl. superior; that make It the best buy ia tnwa. XVJciothebroa From to Foot a a a a a a a a a a a a BARTON a a i a v3" Snoberger probably wont show any great bursts of speed, but that no doubt win fit tn with the Marznon program.

Earl Cooper Is Boat. In the nits Earl Cooner win be the doss. Earl knows tne game uxe no one else does. No one ran tell about tne mechanical fitness of the cars. This Is true of an the entries.

If the Marmons are mechanically on a par witn then drivers, then Marmon should hare a chance at the biggest bag of gold. in all rizunnz on an Indlsnapolis winner. Tony Oulotta can not be overlooked His Stutx Special Is the same car with which Prank Lockhart won In 1928. Tony has been condl tlonlng it for months. It Is ready to go.

It has the speed and the stamina. and barring unforeseen happenings. It is as good a single car chance aa any car on the track. Tony is plenty good enough driver to finish the car In front. He won third last year.

Louis Schneider and his rebuilt Armacost Special hare enough speed to win the race. If Louis doesnt at tempt the Impossible keeping up with the procession In the early part of the race. II be does that the car Is not likely to stand the pace. He has more speea than Souders had In bis Due senberg last year. witn eight cars in the race.

Indl anapolis certainly should hare i chance at the checkered flag ahead of the field. May 30. at about 3 p. m. win give the real Encouraging the Speeders.

A list has been passed around the speedway to, raise a purse for the driver making the fastest qualiflca tlon. It is doubtful whether this will make any of the drivers go any faster, still it will be a good reward If they do it. The fund prob ably win amount to $200 when It is closed. Long and Short of It. Spectators In the grand stand looking at Ray Keech's car win notice around it at least two figures tn white, one a veritable behemoth of a man.

Simplex Bert Engelmann. and the other about half the hlght. Dick Smith, of Philadelphia, who has been traveling around race tracks with Keech for several years. Slovens to Relieve DeVore? Myron Stevens, a newcomer In relief circles, took Earl DeVore No. 6 Chromlllte Special around a few laps Wednesday afternoon Stevens la looking for a relief job and the supposition la that he may get It on the DeVore job.

Leon Duray Wheels New Car. Leon Duray bad Ralph Hepburn's new Miller Special out on the road to riches Wednesday afternoon, and got it up to the point where It was doing a lap In 1:16.60 when a tire quit on him. Leon Is no doubt getting his hand tn so that he can relieve Hep Burn in case nia own car should go out ox tne race. Gasoline Sam In Town. Sam Cohen, of Altoona.

It sound ed pretty much as II he thought those that grew on golf courses ought to be called plain dandjlyins. The Indianapolis Home Builders held a golf tournament at Aralon. Now lfs time for the Indianapolis Home Wreckers to get their name in the paper, too. The Klwanls Club met this after noon at coilin. Lou wnite, or tne Country Club, who won the last Kl wanis Club tournament, was unable to take part In today's Kiwanls tour nament.

From a purely race standpoint, the seats In the stands where the driving Is shown should be the ones that spectators crave. Examinations Before Qualification. Eddie Edenbum. the man who says what they can do and what they cant says that an drivers will be compelled to take their physical examination before thev Qualify. Instead of afterward, as usually Is done.

i A. official in charge of the race. Harry Miner Says Harry Miller is cf the opinion that the race this year win break tne track record 101.13 miles an hour. Maybe It will, maybe it won't. There are so many contingencies that one guess Is sometimes as good as another.

If Harry guesses ngm ne wm right. If he guesses wrong he will have lots of company. Laurence Welch Boy Man. Laurence Welch, superintendent of the speedway grounds. Is the busy man these days.

If everything is not ready for the race he Is the one who catches haU Columbia. He spent part of Wednesday night with his crew washing the oil off the corners of the track. Ticket Demand. It Is about now that one becomes exasperated when demands are made to get, say six seats rn Orand Stand A. It Is about the same as giving an order for a scarf out of horse feathers.

Prince Ghiea Not Coming. The dreadful truth is out at last, Prince Ghica. in his Cosette Special mill not be here for the race. Some how, the prince's entry did not arouse a whole lot of enthusiasm, so tnat his failure to come win not be missed He probably had another one of those European cars that have a fine name. but a alow motor, wnen Europe really decides to compete, however.

she win do a fine job of It. Here's hoping that may be soon. Saturday the Great Day. Saturday will be the Interesting day so far as qualifications are concerned. If the track record or 120.1 miles an hour Is not broken the first day It wont be on the If It Is broken it win be done by a front wheeler in the hands of Duray, Ber' gere or DePaolo.

Harry O. Davis, rice president cf the Kokorno Trust Company, started the new community course In Kokomo off well enough with a hole in one In No. 4 at this new course. The city of Kokomo Is ready to announce that one Robert Cigar Resener is not ready to quit the game of golf. Bobby has won a championship every so often and the fans are beginning to believe Bobby is due again.

They offer as testimony the best round of golf ever shot by an amateur In the state within the life of Tearing Firma, at least. Playing the Country Club course against Charlie Patrman. the Kokomo professional. Bob urged the birdies to sing out a lullaby that totaled just 64 notes for eighteen holes and the Kokomo course measures, more than C.DOO yards. Bobby's card and par foUow: Out.

In the city of Terre Haute on the twentieth clay of June things are scheduled to happen. The things that are to happen are the private business of Messrs. Dud King.

Carey Granger, Dick Banbrklge and Bob Walker. As a personal acquaintance of Mr. Bob Walker we are willing to admit that if congenial Robert avers things will hapepn at the Terre Haute Country Club, things mill happen. We can almost hear the crash now. The guests of the day 4nclude Messrs.

Walter Plttsford. Harry Hartley. WUl Thompson. Carl Harra. PhU A.

In so far as it has been made public. involves food from 12:30 to 12:35 and dinner from 6:30 to 8:35 and if any one who is familiar with the hopitable manner In which members of the Terre Haute Country Club carry out the details of such little items that one finds being carried out in connection with gclf gatherings, there need be no cxplana tion of the shortness of the time allotted to food. It Is to be hoped that at least one resident of Terre Haute will read thSs in time to begone for the summer lest a loss of one night rest be charged uo to Bob. If it is charged up to Bob win be two nights rest chai against Bob and we are in a position to know that Bob positively Is not guilty. The invitation sent out by the Terre Haute hosts smacks very much of soap factory gangism lik unto which there si no golfism in this whole nation.

Of course Mr. BiU Mc Geehan's Johnny Walker cup team of which Mr. O. B. Keeler.

of Atlanta, Is president Is a foreign rival but. per haps Uncle Bob is tninking oi making his team another Walker cup team. As a friend of Mr. Walkers we advise that it will be well to watch the O's and the from northern districts. Roy Oault.
