The driver who qualifies the car la the one who must start the race. Thli rule probably vu made, to prevent seme qualification specialists herding a car around for four laps at much higher rpee and thus make entry cure for a driver who otherwise mlsht net be rood, enough to get by the trials. The qualification speed is ninety rr.Ucs aa hour if a driver Cots that fcs is a candidate for a starting place la the race. But that Isn't all: To Tta.Hr set a starting place In tne race must be mst cif tra tb, rt ntn fastest qualifiers, and the pinion trr.onj track followers is that a rpeed cf at least 100 miles an hour will be recesaary to get Into the favored thirty nine. The ether car that will the fortieth, is the Cummins Diesel, which has demonstrated beyond all douit that it can make a 'quallfica i.ya jrpeeci ui excess oi tizmj mues an hour, the average set by the speedway for its cualiilcatlcn.

Th fact that the Diesel would be permitted to enter the race under different conditions was set out in the entry blank in the hope that it would encourage this type cf engine. The Cummins JLnjine Company, of Columbus, was the only factory that was in thape to take advantage of an opportunity to enter the race, "Wednesday Last Day. IIo trials win be held after Wednesday, the officials of the race wisely, after years of slackness in the matter, having decided that with a year's no lr A. a V4.t iue ift siiuuia oe for the drivers to have their cars ready on time. In other years cars have been as late as the mcrnir cf the race.

The process of up began two years ago and now it is possible for newgpapers and prr.s associations to know a day rf two Li advance somethiR of th Lrsfup cf the race Cf ths thirty or so drivers who had announced their Intention to qualify, it was thouzht all could be ac cc.T.modaU durir the first day. Outstanding pilots who were to make their trial Saturday were Billy Arnold. Harts Miller Special front Irlve, in which he won the race last 5 far, and Louis Meyer, Sampson i'pecial. winner in 1928. second place la 1S23 and fourth in 1030.

Arnold car is practically enchanted from last year, with the ex carbureters, making his engine have ail that the racing rules allow one for each two cylinders. The car is faster thtn it was last year, but Just how fast no one knew previous to the trials. Arnold was limping around the gar Z9 in injure with a sprained knee he cot whiie playir.s: baseball, but he ays the knee wUl not affect his throttle foot, even though it Is on the right leg. There is a possibility that the knee cay grow painful dur lr.j the grind of a long race, but It is expected to be in mucn better shape ackrd at lit Mile, About the only ehanse mad in the ixiuia Mjyfr car is the addition of enoujn carburetors to give tne alx teen cyllnder 200 cublc inch engine half as many of thera there axe cylinders in the ensine. This car has had aom bugs worked out cf tt since it qualiiied a year aco and raCbtrds fav Ixmia has been clocked a lap at 11T milrs an hour.

T69 rivalry between these two ex pcaents of widely differing types of racing cars, the front and the rear tlrive, is great. Meyer was out to prove that his car was right, while Arnold had promised to give his mount everything he had. There was a discounting report out around the truck Friday that Arnold's car had fallen down tn Its speed, but an tn vcsUjation showed that while thia had brrn. true when Harry Harts drov It a few laps, the trouble had been found and remedied. There were widely varied opinions es to the average of the cars making i first row.

As a rule tcng the drivers mounts as quahfi catlsa time draws near and some ot the camp followers raise the figure mere t.an they would in a normal 1 The present day cars are not fast as thes cf two years ago, when rerchargcrs were in rogue, but rd has been.

Two hours befrre the first qualification there stU was talk among speedway notables, among the. drivers and rr.echanica that 118 miles an hour for the four laps required for qualification was possible. The fastest qualification ever made irj a rear driven car was trve 120.1 of Frank Lockh art made tn 1327.

IS arrived at the track Friday afternoon late for the first time, painted white with blue II o. with Dare Evans la the drivers seat and Thane Booser, who will ride with him. With a preliminary spin of three or fqpr laps to warm up the cll Dave pat the ear around the coarse at no effort so far as handling was concerned at ninety six and ninety seven miles an hour. Afterward he stated that he hoped to qualify ft at not less than ninety five miles an nour. The speedway had previously set the Diesel qualification speed at only eighty miles aa hour.

The engine Is four cylinder ed and It uses as fuel about the same sort of oil as is burned In furnaces. The ear has enough tank capacity to run the 500 mites of the race without stopping for fueL It is thought It also can run throughout without the addition of any lubricating oiL There are the customary number of Duesenberg englned cars In the race, together with the usual number carrying Harry Miller engines. But with the speeds being shown In preliminary practice, it Is beginning to look as though the specialized racing engine is goinar to have to compete more and more with the doctored up stock motor. ilo better proof of this can be cited than the engine cf Russell Snowber ger'a car. With his Studebaker President eight cylinder motor.

It would be no surprise at all if he should land in the first or second row of the race. He showed more speed In practice than any one other except Meyer and Arnold. Phil haiers Eulck cngined car. a black color scheme for the body, with red running gear, was to have considerable spotlight la the trials. Phil had not run his car enough to see what it would do, but said he would be ready to qualify.

The general opinion was that he would top around 104 miles an hour tn his qualification. Mlaate; Changes. Louis Schneider's' two Bowes Seal Fast Specials have been an enigma during the practice sessions, but be wss expected to settle the question of their speed with Tony Oulotta and himself behind the wheels. An estimate on these Jobs before qualification was 110 miles an hour for the four lsps. As late as Friday night Schneider, who was the first man at the track with his car.

was still experimenting with springs, making changes at the last minute. The Harry Miller Special, to be driven by shorty Cantlon, is definitely out of qualifications until If on day, perhaps Tuesday. Some workman forgot a eotterpln below the nut which keep the connecting rod bearing on the crankshaft and as a result the bearing came loose Thursday and wrecked the motor of the car. Besides breaking the crankcase. It ruined one of the blocks of four cylinders.

The crankcase was being welded today, but a sew block which should arrive Monday morning will be installed, This car has the new type Miller spring suspension and an engine ot 300 cubic inches, which Is said to develop 100 horse ower. It was expected to battle for a front row position with Meyer and Arnold, but Its accident definitely put It out. "I am very well pleased that the connecting rod let go when It did." Harry Miller aaid. Think of how much worse it would have been If that had happened la the race. As it is now, we have time to get It ready and qualify It Tuesday or Wednesday, with the know led re that It will be In better shape than 18 was." Bill White, entrant of the ear Burt Karnetx will drive, also Is the entrant of the Cantlon Slabblefled An ether rockhart.

One driver whose qu'. location trial was to be watched closely was Stubby Stubble fie Id. a young driver, who has been dynamite on the west coast, where he lites. Stubby formerly was in the prize rinf and he goes about the business of driving a car with the same determination necessary to getting aa apponent out of the way via one's fists, lie has driven the Jones MUlrr four cylinder cars faster than any other driver who has been in them, and if they last out the raea he should give a good account of himself. Schooled ia the dirt track races, with the toughest sort of competition, stubby doesnt seem to think the Indianapolis track is so hard to handle.

The way he drives, ft would seem that he could handle 120 miles an hour on the track as easily aa be does 109. which Is about the top speed of his car. He reminds track followers of Frank Lockhart when he first came to Indianapolis. Stubby lacks some of the finish that he will have in a year or ao, fust as Lockhart did when he came. He has all the confidence end all the manhandling ability that Dockhart had.

apparently, without a ear with the speed high enough to demonstrate anything real. Not to say that jerking car around the corners at 109 miles aa hour tsnt real, but still the gap between that and IIS, which is what Lockhart did his first time here, is enough to make some little difference. The Fate at Old Drivers. Some one writes in to ask what has become of a list of old drivers. The following answers the question: Hyrtn Fengler Is la business tn Los Angeles, owning a machine ahop.

Bennle Hill Is la Detroit, building boat engines for the Dodge Boat Company. Tom ACey Is meandering around the speedway, perhaps looking for a xaounu Jerry Wonderllch is out on the west coast, where be has entirely forsaken the race car. Tom Milton is a consulting engineer ia Detroit. Ira Van Uvea on Long Island and is a racing promoter, having quit the driving game several years ago. He had a near Oakland stock motor tn the race last year which finished eleventh.

Dave Lewis died about two years ago out on his ranch tn California. Eddie Hearne is very much, alive out on the west coast, but Is through with racing.

Gossip A different leader every day seems to be the 1221 American Association slogan. waa in the top seat yesterday, but dldnt play yesterday and St Paul defeated Milwaukee, 5 to 2, to bounce back into first placae. Before Columbus dipped Into the leadership situation the Saints and Louisville had been trading It back and forth for scarry a week. The Saints dldnt do so much hitting yesterday, but what there was of it produced results.

Caldwell held them to she hits. Saltzgaver and Durst hit triples, while Roettger banged out a double and Anderson peeled off another homer to win. Bud Connolly got a circuit drive with a man on in the seventh to tie the score for the Brewers, but the Saints grabbed two in the eighth to get the decision. Johnny Prudbomme pitched the route for St. Paul, allowing sine fairly well spaced hits.

"ln the only other contest of the day. Miztneapolis's hustling Millers defeated Kansas City. 10 to 4. to make It three straight over the Blues. Both teams got ten hits, but the Millers made three double plays to save Pitcher Rube Benton a lot of trouble.

The Millers suffered the loss of Catcher Hargrave, and First Baseman George Kelly, Hargrave wrenched a knee sliding Into third, while Kelly pulled a muscle in his side in reaching for a wide throw.

Brooklyn fans were about ready to ask what else is wrong when the Robins came through yesterday with a convincing demonstration that answered "nothing at an.

The Phillies had no left handers to send against Brooklyn yesterday but ao far as collecting hits was concerned the Robins fared little better than they had against the southpaws. The difference was that they settled down to the business of winning ban games, played the way they really can. and came out with two victories and a hold on fifth place ia the standing. Brooklyn collected only seventeen hits in the two games off Ray Benge, Frank Watt and Fidgety Phil Collins, but they made them good for eight runs, winning 2 to 2 and to 2. In the first clash they bunched three of their blows for two runs In the sixth inning.

In the second. Babe Herman clouted a homer with two aboard In the third Inning and Johnny Fred erick clouted another with empty oases to put the game on ice. Fine pitching by Dasxy Vance and Joe Shaute. who beat the Phtts for the fourth time this year, did the rest. The Daxzler was forced out ia the ninth inning of the first game when Pinky Whitney's drive hit him in the face.

The double victory enabled Brooklyn to exchange places with the Phtts. lumping from seventh place to fifth while the Idle Pittsburgh Pirates remained In sixth.

EVANSTON EU May 23 (AJP.) Michigan, eleven times victorious, and Ohio State, which never has wen the event, today were the choices to tattle It out for the 1931 Western Con ference track and field championship.

The Wolverines, defending the title they won a year ago with 51 points and Ohio State, yesterday qualified fifteen men each in the trials at Dyche stadium. Northwestern University, and so well was their strength distributed that the fact that Iowa qualified sixteen men only figured to make the Hawkeyes more of a contender than expected. Both the Buckeyes and Wolverines placed at least one man in every track event tried yesterday, and each had men in the longer races today, la which trials were unnecessary. Jack brilliant Buckeye sophomore, qualified in both hurdles and the lCO vard vill Trlin Vet Michigan colored sprinter, headed Michigan's forces by winning his heats In the 100 and 229 yard dashes. Illinois was close up with thirteen qualifiers, while Wisconsin, chiefly by placing three men each in the shot and discus throws, had ten: Indiana, eight; Minnesota, six; Northwestern had three, while Chicago and Purdue wound up with two each.
