vii ai U.n 1 SPEEDWAY SHOWING PART OF THE THOUSANDS OF a LEADER NEVER GETS TIRED 1 How does it feel to win the est race ever run in the world This was a juesllon put to Ray Harrojn. the Indianapolis motor driver, after, the race at the speedway, yesterday afternoon, when he received the greatest applause ever tendered the winner of any event In Aroerica Ilarrouft was purrled for a moment, but a smile Unbred about the corpers of hi mouth. "It make me feel pretty good, I. know that much, he repiled." "A man" never arets tired 'driving' In a race when he'a ahead. It's when he is behind that the wear and tear tells on fclm.

I'm not a bit tired now. At the end of 100 mljes. when I gave way to Patschke and rested while he waa driving eighty miles. I was about alb, in. When I got.

back In the race and secured the then it was easy. I didn't feel like getting tired. No driver would get tired In the lead of a race Kf that kind. However, I believe five hundred miles Is too long a race for one man to'thlnk of driving. evening and o'ctt ck this morning twenty special trains left the city.

The 111 Four ran sixty nve trains to the speedway and Ixty tlvM In. The three fourteen coach trains put on by the lg Four at the close of the races brought In a load only once and then were taken to the yards. Hut Four men are pointing with pride to the fart that they handled many 'thousand without an accident. O. V.

lirockmeyer. chief rlerk In the office of Ueneral Superintendent Houghton says'. "There was some, complaint that yre were not. brlnirtnir in the crowd from the speedway promptly. This was due to the fnct that every one wanted to come In on tin? first It should bi taken into consideration.

that began running crowded trains clot together at ciock In' the morning, "and were taking big crowds ixit until. 12:30 p. and many, ot course, after that. Return Trlpa. took six hours and a half to take the crowd out, and we brought back practically as many people In the two hours and a half, betwjeen and 7:30.

when tho last train from the speedway w'aa in. ThU la handling the crowd In a manner that Is Just aa good as any crowd ts ever handled In the east or anywhere else' when big crowds gather. The first thought was for safety, and It is a thing for which we deserve credit that no one was hurt an accident. Tho crowd was brought into Indianapolis within a remarkably sljort time, considering the number of tracks and other facllltlea we had." rirookmeyer. who was working with W.

Li. Lamport, trainmaster of the St. Louts division, in handling the crowd, makes a higher estimate of the number bandied to and from the speedway than does I port. The Utter put the figures at TO rtw In and out. Hrookmeyer says he thinks tt likely that it.

was a Utjle nearer W.oou. Many Did Not Pay. We handled many people from whom we received no pay. he saya. referring to the "wise ones' who took advantage of the crowd to board a train without tickets, and trusted to luck that the ticket taker would not get around.

i At the passenger offices of the Big Four no flKures ar given concerning the crowd. This Is the source from which eventually will come the exact number of fares paid. Tickets were sold in so many different and from so many selling stations tbat the exact figures are not obtainable tit present, tt is explained. The traction station mas the scene of great activity and a big crowd. Car.

DROVE A SWIFT 80 MILES Not little of the credit tor winning the speedway race for Harroun'a Mar mon Wasp is due to Cyrus Patschke, a driver employed by the Wyckoff, Church Partridge Company, automobile dealers. In New Xork.

who came here arid was engaged aa a relief driver for the Mar mo ri company. Many of the racing people about the radthx were loud In their praises 'atschke'a driving, and they said that without his assistance Harroun would not have come in first in the big event. Harroun, following out his belief that no driver should slick to his wheel for live hundred consecutive miles, gave up his place to the relief In order to take a breathing spell. Identity Little Known. A Even while the crowd waa talking of Patschke none of them knew the Identity of the driver.

All they knew was thaf Harroun was. taking a rest while another driver relieved hfm. At the end of the one hundred and sixtieth mile Harroun stopped his car for tire repairs and Patschke took his place at the wheel. The thousands of people in the grand stands did not notice the change. Nearly all watched the car aa drivers in their hoods look a great deal alike.

there were a few who noticed the Wasp leave the pltJ with a slim young man gripping the Wheel. The racer disappeared around the south curve and as the car was far behind the leaders at the time, the spectators turned their attention to other machines. However, when the Wasp flashed by the grand stand again there was a nhout of approval from hundreds of throats. 'Harroun is beating It ribt," was an expression that showed the speaker atlfl thought Harroun at the wheel. The Wasp continued to tear off the miles.

Car after, car waa passed by the flying Wasp and the spectators were wildly excited, "because Harroun waa hitting the high places." Patschke'a eighty mile spin was one of the best exhibitions of fast driving ever seen on the speedway, and when he stopped at the pit the can had trained several laps and was Well up In the bunch of winners. Harroun Was Freshened. When Harroun resumed hla place after Ms hour's he was freh and eager. There waa no doubt that his spirits rose when he realized that Patschke had swept awide the handicap under which he had labored. The crowds had shouted their of Patschke'a driving and they continued to shout when Harroun maintained the lightning speed which the eighty mile under Patschke'a hand.

Patschke was apparently unconcerned, but his feat must have been a source of gratification to himself, as It much to boost the winning car. Patschke'a experience was gained at the wheels of Loxier and Sterne cars In races in the east. FIREFLIES COVER LOWLAND Sparkling Little Insects Attract People of Oakland City.

It wa" also possible for ono to enjoy one's coffee and sinkers In a dairy lunch at ono'a leisure without feeling that one waa keeping aotnebody else out of a chair.

It was also possible to obtain accommodations for an auto in a garage, but it was practically Impossible, arly in the mornimr, at least. to obtain the commodity commonly known aa keg beer. Leaving a golden trail and an odor of gasoline behlr.d, tho host of automobile enthuflastfl tnat came tor toe hly race at the Indianapolis speedway vras homeward bound. Some started with the first peep of daylight. The roads leading from Indianapolis were well tilled with automobiles throughout the day.

Hut, as mentioned before, tnirsty, motor mad motorists appeared to have taken with them moft of the city's supply of keg beer, for It waa d.lllcnit to obtain that thirst quencher until the breweries made their morning' deliveries. Many Go to Smaller Cities. Those who came for the race by steam and electric raKroaus went home at nlsht. except for a few stragglers. Clouded skies, with threats of rain, kept most of those, who cam'o by a'utomobile, from starting home until mornlns.

Some few started shortly after the race. cVh era drove to Greenfield, Kichmond, Columbus, ShelbyvlUe, Green castle and other nearby cities, believing they mlht get belter hotel accommodations for the night than were to be had in Indianapolis. But enough motorists remained to AH the hotels beyond normal capacity, although the number of Ruefta at the tels waa smaller than on Monday Kvery downtown hotel, however, was obliged to resort to the use of and many visitors found places in private homes.

Tho crush lit the hotels and restaurants was even' greater that of, Monday nixht, for those who were In the city only for the dav wished something to eat before "tii boarded trains for home. As far as could be learned, none was obliged to go home hungry, provided he waited long enough for bervicc Running It All Over. Some of the motor wise had reserved tables in the downtown grilL rooms and restaurants, and there were many merry dining parties after the race, lasting until far into the night. The race waa run over again; surprise waa expressed that more drivers and mechanicians had not been killed and each sf cldent that oc curred "sra reviewed and reviewed.

The race was practicaily the sole tonic of conversation. Occasionally, when one of the race drivers appeared In a hotel lobby or dining room, he got a mls hty ovation.
