The lzteen is to be driven by, Enorty Cantlon. who woo second place last year, and the four cylinder will be piloted by Bert Kar natz, who has teen service behind a Awheel in previous Indiana polls races.

Harry went into a technical description of its sew spring suspension and let it go at that.

Be made no prediction as to what the new car. which la of 300 cubic inches, would do. beyond saying that he thought It would be much better to handle and much easier riding. Bin; White Reticent. Bin White1 was equally reticent.

He said the car would arrive ready to be put on the track, that theoretically it was perfectly built, and that he felt It would not give any particular trouble other than the occasional annoy ances to which all racing cars are subject. He said that he and Miser had iSrtven the engine in a beaxy sedan out on the coast and that it showed great possibilities so far "as acceleration was concerned, and that led him to believe it would be all right on the speedway, Both White's cars are rear driven. Mluer concentrated this year on the two cars of White's and on a rear driven eight for Peter DePaoto, a Boyle Valve special, and on the same design rear driven eight for Ralph Hepburn, which is still The cars left Im Angeles a day after Miller and White and came by ex press on the same train that DePaoto and Hepburn rode. According to schedule, they should be unloaded at the Prest LIte railroad dock, across from the speedway, some time Wednesday. They also have the new suspension featured in the two.

White tons. There Is no question but that the Cantlon car will be fast. There lant any question, either, that the one that Karaatx will drive will have fully as much soup aa the four cylinder with which Cantlon won second place in last year's race. The present car la of ZOO cubic inches displacement. Instead of the of Cantlon's last rear.

Work Gees Meanwhile there is much hammer ing, grinding and comment over flock of racing cars that are being built In Indianapolis. A glance over the garages shows at least thirty cars at the speedway. Of these, the wise birds are beginning to sift out those that win and those that wont when It comes to qualification. I looked at six or seven alligators today that might Just as well wrap themselves up and go back, home, one observer said. "They wont find any place to go when it comes to pitting their speed against some of this dynamite that will be out for It is not at an difficult to say "amen" to this remark.

For there Is the usual cumber of hopefuls who have come to the Mecca of the racing world in the hope that they will get a chance to chase approximately 100.000 around .200,000 bricks for 200 laps or 600 miles. By qualification Saturday, there will be at least fifty of the seventy two cars entered, tn Indianapolis, perhaps more. The restat least those that show up at all win have to be here by Wednesday, the last day for qualification. 1 Wilbur Shaw, local driver. Is helping out on the Duesie he will drive, which is being built by August Due sen berg.

The date for Its bow to the track, set for Saturday, but It will have to be worked on aa It Is rolled along If this date' Is correct. 'Shaw waa found Tuesday night, sitting In the car while upholsterers worked at fitting the padding about him. The debut of a Duesenberg englned Miller chassis, owned by James Wade. Chicago sportsman, and being built in the shops of Jimmy Kemp, Is set for Friday. This car win "be driven by Norske Larsen and Steve Gregory will ride with him.

Out on East Washington street Herman Oauss Is working early and late on the two Ooldenburg entries, one a front drive sixteen ot 113 cubic inches displacement and the other a 100 cubic lnch' eight, front drive. These are the remains of old Cooper front drive racing cars. Racing drivers, who have looked them over, speak well of them. They are wen built and look like they might go somewhere. They are slated to be out at the track Saturday, but no drivers have been named for them.

Eddie Burback. has a Model A Duesenberg englned car at the Acme Machine Works. Thi about this car ts that thirty days ago it wasn't, and now Eddie thinks it win be out at the speedway by Eddie is an old hand and the car looks like it miht amble at pretty fair speed. The Clemens Can. The two cars which Fred Clemens has been working on all winter are listed for appearance next week.

Fred says he thinks one of them will be out by Suaday and the other one later. He says it took him eight weeks to get the wheels for the cars. These cars have Independently sprung rear wheels and great claims are made for riding and handBng qualities. They wul driven by Herman Schurch. one of the best driven on the speedway, nonsensatlonal.

Harrison this summerwCl be conducted entirely in co operation with: the newly created state boxing commis sion, it was announced Wednesday by Captain James R. Kennedy, match maker at the army post.

This means that the fort wffl voluntarily abide by rules and suggestions of the commission and be subject to the customarr state tax of 10 per cent, on an shows when the commission begins to function. Only licensed referees and Judges will be used each week, and no boxers who might be barred by Uie state commission win be engaged fcr scraps at the "punch bowL" "We have definitely decided on this program because it is our purpose to assist the state commission in an attempt to raise the. standard of boxing shows throughout Indiana, Captain Kennedy said. Opening Jane 2. The opening glove throwing bill at the outdoor arena has been set for Tuesday night.

June 3. Decision bouts wiU be staged whether or not the state commission Is functioning by that time. Admission prices win remain at fl.and $2 until the commission functions. When the commission goes Into effect, a 10 per cent tax win be charged on each admission, making the price $1.10 for general admission and $2.20 for ringside the front row of the race stm goes on out at the speedway. The drivers are not unanimous on what it will take.

Some have set the figure as high as 118 for the first position tn the front Others declare that 115 win take the pole. Without ever seeing the ear run. some believe that Shorty Cantlon's sixteen win have the pole position, while others lean toward BUly Arnold and his front drive Miller Hart Special. Arnold Is stffl the writer's selection, with Louis Meyer second and Cantlon third. When It comes to the second row there Is a lot of material to choose from.

If Louis Schneider and Tony Oulotta try hard enough, they should land either In the second or the third row. Russell Snowberger and his Russell Eight, should be able to battle for a second or third row position. If DePaolo gets his Boyle Valve running and Hepburn gets his car going, it Is possible that these two can land the second or third row. Babe Stapp hasn't unwound his Hennlng ear and if pre liminary report are true, he haa chance at the second or third row. Then there.

Is Bill Cummins, who haa the necessary lead In his throttle foot, if he has the necessary horses under the hood of his front driven Empire State Special. There lant much doubt that BUI White's four cylinder car. with Bert Karnats as Its Jockey, should get around sufficiently quick to catch a position the second or third row. Seme Possibilities. If It is granted that Arnold.

Meyer and Cantlon win sweep the front, there are left as possibilities for the second and third rows: Schneider, Bowes Seal. Fast: Oulotta. Bowes Seal Fast; Snowberger. Russell Eight; Stapp, Hennlng Duesie; DePaolo. Boyle Valve; Hepburn, Miller car; Cummlngs.

front drive Empire State; Karnats, Bill White's four; possibly the Jones Miller Specials, depending on who Is going to drive them. Speaking of positions In the front row: No driver really wants the pole position so far aa it being the logical place to get under way. Even the front cars, which are supposed to be so hot on the turns, cant use it to advantage. The fronts are notoriously not so keen on acceleration. The Ideal position In the front row lies in cither the outside or the second place, depending on opinion of the driver.

There ts almost a una nimity of choice, however, for the outside. There la freedom of movement there that is lacking hi the two lower brackets. To illustrate: Louis Meyer had petnty of acceleration in his rear drive last year and when the race got under way he soomed right away from Ar nold In first position In the row and Cantlon, in third. He would have done the same thing had he been In third place. He might even have done the same had he been in the pole position, but he probably would not.

It Is only the front drives that can buckle down and hug the lower edge of the bricks on the turns. The rear drives like the wide open spaces on the turns. They can not begin to barrel along the lower reaches of the tracr. Personal Rivalry. So keen Is the personal rivalry to top the field If one haa the steam.

that no driver makes an attempt to drive in a way qualification that will nrn him m. mrnnri rtr thtrrt nl li new racac the front row. In the first puce, parts. Phil Shafer and his Bulck engined car have not yet made an appearance, but Phn says he win be there In time to qualify. Ab Jenkins's Hunt Special, with a Studebaker President eight engine, Is another car that haa been keeping its light hid under a bushel which win hart to break the barriers shortly.

The date of its appearance at the track Is uncertain, but the Information Is that it win be present in time to qualify. The Cummins Diesel has been at the factory tn Columbus getting the finishing touches and It should check tn at the track Wednesday or Thursday, Dave Evans expects to put a lot of miles on ft Immediately nT order to get the chassis details perfect for qualification. The motor has been block: tested Into perfect freedom, so that there Is no problem there. Thane Houser. who has been working on the Job with Evans, win ride with him In the racO The speed of the Diesel is problematical.

It haa made an official record of 100.75s miles an hour at Daytona Beach, and with this speed it should be able to 1P the track at eighty five miles an hour. If some more horses have been put Into It since it came back from Daytona Beach. It may get higher than this. Saturday may make all this plainer. Cclemaa Flattens Skeptic.

Lou Moore's Coleman Special." nicknamed the beach car, because It Is so big. knocked the pit wall uzards flat Tuesday when It circled the track ajt 104 miles an hour. The ear ts an eight, made up of two fours set aide by side. The body Is thirty four inches wide, with practically straight lines frcm nose to taiL If Lou did 104 Wednesday be may find a couple of miles more lying loose along the brick pathway before he finishes testing the car tor the elimination trials. The four cars entered by Dick Woods.

Philadelphia, win itot arrtre. Dick came in, but he said that owing to lack of time and other essentials tn racing car building, he had withdrawn his entries. Speaking of prire money, the Continental Oil Company announces a total of $8,500. reaching from first to tenth place, for the drivers using Continental oil In the race. The argument regarding the quaJl flcattoa speed necessary to get lata he may not know how fast others are Lfoing.

so he cant Oetermlne his own place, la the second place, while he may be a keen Judge of speed, he can not split it down to such a fine point that he can place himself Just where he wishes. If he haa plenty of speed be can, however, assure himself of a place in the front row some place. Even an astute pit manager, with a stop watch on the four laps his driver ts negotiating, may not be able to direct him en route so that he can average any close definite speed while qualifying. It ts unbelievable, too. that Harts win alow Arnold up so that be wont try to set a mark high enough to defeat Meyer and Cantlon, If he can.

For. after all. there's gold in them thar hills." and the gold can be reached In the form of lap prizes at the rate of $100 a lap. which In time may mean from a minute and twenty four seconds on up to a minute and a half. Sixty laps won at the start of the race means enough money safely tucked away so that If the car does not finish It has won a purse equal to third place.

Lean Daray's Philosophy. Leon Duray has a bit of philosophy on this "Only once tn my life did I hearken to the voice ot the devil." Leon said. "That was one year when I had power to burn and my friends said for me to go easy and look ahead to the big prize at the end of the race rainbow. I might Just as wen have gone out and knocked me a bunch of cherries In the shape of lap prizes. But did Leon do It? The answer Is he did not.

Therefore, he went haywire before the race was over and Instead of having a little matter of $5,000 or maybe $.000 in laps he had the satisfaction of knowing that he had followed the advice of his friends. I tried to pay my b2s with that advice, but ft was gently but firmly refused, as they say down Los Angeles way." When Leon was asked his plan of action on his new car. be waggled his leonine head slowly and said "Do you really think now. that coke Is to be preferred to a nice bottle of Tom BeaU'a Jersey milk, in so fax aa nourishment is And the Inquirer went sadly about his business. Just about convinced that Leon'a foot ts so weighty that eren If Ut were good policy he could not help bust rest It rather heavily on the throttle.
