The statement said that the rule had been to limit qualifications to three days, but owing to the large number of "cars entered the rule would be extended to corer week. W. D.

Saturday's time for starting qualifications is definite. The time for starting them on Sunday be 1 o'clock, unless' Mr. Ebenburn sees fit to change it. This starting time for the qualifications probably will pre vail the rest of next week. The edge will be off the qualifications by Monday and only the stragglers and the boys who never would get ready If they had three years, will be taking up the time of the officials from then on.

There always Is a certain type of driver and entrant who can be depended on to cause the maximum amount of delay at qualification time. Many of the drivers have exnreAKM th nntninn thai they would be satisfied to limit the period to the original three days. Elimination as While the trials are qualification trials, in that they decide whether a mcy auto wm ov cumuiauon iruus icr of the vuvcx tue race car mutt qui if at. a speed of 100 miles an hour.

Various estimates "have been made, some as high as 105 miles an hour, but a better figure probably will be 102 for the lowest qualifier.

No dy knows, though there have been many opinions expressed. Gasdlno Changes Engines. Some of the delay of Juan Gam dlno, the driver from Argentine, has been due to his having to change engines since his arrival here. It is understood. Oaudlno has' been here for several weeks, but has done very little running on the track.

He is out dally now. however. The report is that he brought the engine he has used in road racing in his own coun try, but on measuring it here, it was found to be ellehtly over the maximum of 366 cubic inches. This necessitated getting a new Chrysler engine for the car. Varies His Transportation.

Arnold was seven years old then. Moch Expected ef Fours. There are several Miller built four cylinder cars in the race, but none of them has registered at the track as yet. It was with one of these cars that Stubby Stubblefleld set a record of 147455 miles an hour over a dry lake bed in California Sunday. Qualification speed for the fours Is expected to be above the near stock cars, but slightly less than the specially, built eight and sixteens.

Four Wheelers Due Friday. The two four wheel drive cars, one entered by Harry Miller, the other by the P. W. P. Truck Corporation, of Clintonvllle, Wis, are coming overland from Los Angeles from the Miller factory where they were built.

Most Dangerous Spot. 1 A doeeri or so of prominent race drivers were in a heated argument during breakfast at Tom Beall's lunchroom, in the carage inclosure of the speedway Tuesday. The argument, or the basis for the difference of opinion started from an innocent question asked by Jlggr Johnson: "Where is the most dangerous spot on the Tony Gulotta started to tell Jigger about a certain spot Just out of the north turn, when he was interrupted, by Johnnie Hughes.

"There is the mo6t dangerous spot on the speedway," said Johnnie, polnt insr to the baseball diamond in tne infield. "More race drivers, car own ers and mechanics have been hurt on that place than any other one spot cn the Real old timers seem to be so scarce at the track tht to prove the statement was difficult. Here is what could be scraped up for a casualty list, going back to only 1923 Tommy Milton, the winner of that year's race, sprained his badly that he went to the doctor every dy for two weeks. Jimmy Murphy was the habitual first baseman during 1922 and 1923 until he was forced to retire by an injured leg. In 1924 Slim Corum the winner of that race drove his knee into Pete DePaolo's head so hard that he was still crippled three weeks later.

Pete was not hurt badly, The year 1927 brought a oomplete set of dislocated fingers to Tony uuioua: 1928 was the year that Big Bill White slid to first base and broke his ankle. In 1929 Deacon Lits drove wtlh a broken finger. Last year BUly Arnold limped around with a cane until race day from a bent knee. This year's list begins with the crash between Bryant Saulpaugh and Pete Krels off first base. Pete got a stiff knee cut of it and Saulpaugh a big bump on the head.

Lou Moore, reached for, a fast one the other day and came out of the game with two sore fingers. 'l Nichols Refuses Match.

secretary of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce athletic committee, who regards it as one of the most important bits of newa that has drifted in from the former Indians and major leaguers who will participate in this, the first round up of the kind ever held in the Hoosler capital. Brown, who Is now operating a filling station at Lawrenceville, El, was the mainstay for the Chicago Cubs early in the century when they were winning pennants and contesting with the White Sox for the championship. His powerful arm, extraordinary courage and acute thinking not won scores of games for his club, but made him the most famed pitcher of his day. He wound up his glorious career with the Cincinnati Reh, returning to the Queen City last September for a memorable meeting of old time ball players and was honored by a crowd of 10,000 cheering fans at the ball park. XMheru 'of Bygone Daya: VvAmong the heroes of bygone tfayir who will be on hand at Perry ata dium next Wednesday are Charles C.

Carr, Indianapolis, former Indian manager and first baseman; John Fisher, of Noblesvllle. and Wee WiUle McOin. coach at Butter University, both Indian twlrlers of nearly twenty five years ago; Rab Hare, of Indianapolis, Indiana University star, who played with the old Indians in 1910; Walter Quelsser, of Indianapolis, old time Indian catcher; Tom (Red) Fisher, YESTERDAY'S RESULTS National Leana.
