Hepairs for the ear are on the truck which Cue here Monday from the coast with Ralph.

The blowup came without warning and the car had to be towed Into the garage. Careless Workman EerpenaHle. Harry MlHer, builder, and B21 White, too the matter like phUoeophfrs.

An examination showed Ciat a workman in assemblisg the motor had left a wire oif one cf the bolts that fasten the connecting rod to the crankshaft. When the engine got moving at high speed, the nut on the bolt worked off, the connecting rod came loose and whipped Itself to pieces against the crankcase snd the motor block. It was just the eld esse of the little horseshoe nail being the cause of it alL There will be genuine regret among not enly the potential spectators, but monj the racing drivers ax we'd, because they all believed the Cantlon job, with its new type spring suspension, would be the fastest job cn the trsck.

As it is, he has lost all chance ta battle for the first few lap prizes in the race. At 19 o'CIock Saturday. The trials' to decide the forty 'cars tint will be permitted to start in the sweepstakes will begin Saturday morn at 10 o'clock.

Before a car may qualify it must be measured try the technical com mittee of the race, under the chair manship of Louis Schwitzer.

local automobile aecessory manufacturer, to determine that its engine is not in excess of 36 cubic inches piston displacement and that It conforms other wise to rules regarding weight and mechanical coristructlon. 1 Particular interest in the Qualification trials this year comes because of the entrance Into competition on a race course for the first time of a Diesel en gined racing ear. This engine burns fuel oU instead of gasoline. The engine has no carburetor and no spark plugs. Otherwise It Is in large degree normal in its functions.

The fuel Is fired by compressing ah In the cylinders until It becomes hot enough to ljnite the oO, which goes into the cylinders in the form of va cor. Tbe qualification speed ox eignty mile an hour, set oy speedway oui ciala. is thought to be easily within the capabilities of the Diesel. Another in teres ting car will be that of Billy Arnold. It is owned by Barry Harts and Is a front drive.

It Is entered as ICUer IIarU. It won the race last year, with Arnold at the wheel. SUil another speed creation of great Interest Is the slxteen cyllnder of Ehorty Cantlon, which beside having one of the most powerful motors on the track, has a new type of spring suspension built by Harry Miller, weU kncwn racing car builder. This car will not be in the Saturday qualification trials, due to a broken engine. The slxteen cyllnder of Louis Meyer, fourth place winner last year, holds considerable Interest, as doe the near stock englned ear of Russell Snow berger, who has been using a.

Etude baker President eight cylinder motor for ratine for year. Cbeekosi ef Raeers. Enowberger probably will qualify his Russell Eight at ft speed of 114 to lis miles an hour. If he does, this will be by far the fastest near atock racing car ever to enter American racing and It may earn him a place In the front row. A checkup of the cars at the track reveals that there are approximately thirty cars that will be on hand to qualify Saturday.

Unless they move right along, some of these are going to be disappointed, for there never has that many qualify In one day. A few of the announced qualifiers may change their minds between now and the time to do it. but there will be enough out oa the track to keep the snectators up on their toes. A to the possible speed, there it always a difference of opinion. There has been nothing at me track to date that Justifies any one in saying that it will take 118 miles an hour to gain tne pole position, it is true that what ha been don Is not always a gauge, since the wise speed merchants sometimes deliber ately keep from showing his hand.

The battle for the front row post tlon should He among Billy Arnold. Louis Meyer and a dark horse, who comes up to take the place left vacant because of the accident to Shorty canuon engine.

If that very best isn'st fast enough to get the pole, he wont get it. Louis Meyer has his adherents who insist that he has just ft little more speed than has Arnold. It Is such, difference of opinion that makes the world Beb MeDonegn In Geldberg. The word ts out that debonair Bob McDonogh.

Bob win take up a couple of notches in his perfect twenty eight belt, and see what be can do with the eight. Bill Cummings win have plenty Of friends la the audience when he climbs into his front driven Empire State Special to try his luck. Many people think BUI has been holding out on his friends and that really he has more speed in his car than he ha shown in practice.

The answer is. he Willi have to have a whole lot more." Leon'Duray is scheduled to get a radiator on his ar Friday and to be ready far the trials Saturday. If he does get his two cycle slxteen cylinder ready to motor, he may make the spectators sit up and say Ah! Whether his car has reached such a state of perfection only time and the new radiator win Leon can be one! of the horses with a sable coat that may upset the front row apple cart if he wishes, provided his car I really ready, for it has the power to develop the necessary speed. But Leon Is hard to figure. If he is Inclined to take a mature view of his venture, he win be content to get in under the wire easily, and let the high speed go for at least another year.

After all. he has a new Idea, and what he wishes is to nave it run in the race, not make a show at the qualification and maybe sput come ox its inside in the effort ana tnus be out of the race. Anyway, It Is going to be a great show Saturday the greatest qualification show ever.

The car hit ine inner wan. slewed tm to the ton wall, throwing out enough spark to start the Chicago fire of 171 or thereabouts, came back down again, turning as It came, and stopped In the middle of the course.

The front end received the brunt of the blows. The front axle was bent, the trans utlssion case broken, the oil cooler aU zuea oir and both steering knuckles and both front wheels knocked off. When the car came to rest it had its nose resting on the bricks, all tired out. The car is the old Packard front, drive which came to the track in 1925 fresh from Barry Miller shop and no one could be found to drive it. Last year ft was driven into sixth place by Dave Evans a the Jones Haley Special.

Fred WinnaL who was severely Injured at Altoona a year ago and spent five months in the hcspitaL was riding with Brlsco when the crash occurred. Midnight Activities. With only one day to go before qualification time, the garage at the speedway literally buzzed with' industry until weU after midnight Thurs day. In the Bui White garage could be seen none other than the engineering wizard, Harry Miller himself, with a handful of wrenches tearing the slx teen cyllnder down to a bare crankcase. Shorty Cantlon was helping him.

Big Bui Whit divided his urn between sitting on the bench and going down to Tom BeaU' restaurant for something to eat. Frank Brlsko' wrecked front drive was scattered ail over the garage. Frank said that he will be ready some time around, the middle of next week. The stables cf the Jones MUler out fit was kept warm by the work of Jerry Ilouck, MUton Jones. Jr and the hot an? of juz Bin O'Brien, of Hollywood.

Leon Duray was la his headquar ters, dressed like the millionaire that he is not. watching Dave Koetxla and George SUehl massage the two cycle sensation into Harry Harts and Jean Marsenae were working behind locked doors, but a peep through ft crack in the door was enough to prove that they were bury, Freddie Frame and his mechanic enisled on the Duesenberg until the wee hours. The Bmnlre State specula were getting a going over by the Copple brothers and Floyd smith. Biuy cum mings was present but cant be blamed if the work was not done correctly; he lust didnt do any. Just before midnight.

Red Shafer moved tnio his garage. and started to dean house. A boy in the restaurant heard a driver say. was watching the tack and let the car ret into a bad slide before I noticed It." The boy walked away and said. "Say why doat they sweep this trade so the drivers wont hurt themselves dodging After some one explained to him that the tack la question was spelled taeh for tachometer, the boy allnked ellentty away.
