12 1 Former Two Four Wheel Drivt Cars In ListCount Shows Thirty Two 0s, Three 16i, Four and One 6 Old Battle Be twesn VFront" and. "Rear" It Assured Seven Factory 4 Entries Already Announced. ley F. Fop Myers, christened Theodore but Just Pop to the racing dan. can breathe easily now.

He baa the assurance that at least forty cart win be entered for the 500 mile race, the twentieth annual International sweepstakes, as It la technically known. That knowledge takes a load off hi V. The open season for signing on the dotted entry black line does not become tha closed 'season until mldnioht of Hay 2. and between then and now It la dollars, to crullers that fifteen or twenty more annoixneements of willingness to chase approximately $100,000 prizes and accessory awards around the two and a half mile of bricks will be forthcoming It Is true that of the fifty or sixty that enter, and of the forty that qualify to start, all but ten will be disappointed, but no one worries about that now. It sounds trite to say every year that the present race la going to be better than all the rest, but circumstances always seem to make such an' announcement necessary.

The reasons therefor this year ians can instance and let every customer his own ticket. Daray First Mentioned. We might as well begin with Leon Duray, even though one could begin with Louis Schneider or Billy Arnold, or the front wheel drives, or the four wheel drives, or the near stock 'cars, or wnat have you. Begin with big Leon because he always makes a Rood beginning, The Information1 is that Leon Is coming back with a aixteen cyllnder two cycle tar Hmd that It actually will run this year. Last year it was a washout.

A two cycle Job Is always a novelty, and If it runs well It will be a bigger novelty. Its motor operates at twice the speed of a fourcycle when It comes to exhaust noise and sounds like the tearing of strong silk when it really gets going. Besides Leon has such ether little distinctions as holding the track qualification and lap record. Two four wheel drive cars are entered. Yes, sir, not content with a rear wheel drive or a front wheel drive, these cars do It at both ends.

liow will it work out? Nobody knows, but at least it is a swell idea for trucks and maybe It will be for speed wagona. It will be something to talk about, anyhow, and quite Interesting to observe and speculate on. Harry Miller has entered one of them and the Cole man Motors Corporation, builders of a our whea drive truck, another. Experiments are being carried on In Piirnnk irith mipwhlirlea ndnf cars, by the; way, Three Former Winners, iueig avie yfGBCu wire auhwiv winners entered Louis Schneider, 1931: Billy Arnold. 1830.

and Louis Meyer, 1928. All three of these will drive the cars they drove In last year's race. Schneider has two Bowes Seal Fasts, and he expects to drive the one with which he won last year and put another driver on the second car. nera there Is a host of other driven who have been over the 3.200,000 bricks of the course so often they can almost call them old pals. Some of these are Shorty Caution, Russell Bnowberger, Speed Gardner, Paul Beet, Joe Kusso, Cliff Durant.

Wesley Crawford. Deacon Liti and Phil fcnaier. iob cxrrcr. imauncu, bubo seems to be pretty well represented. aa iook a uio uh wui iuuw, i Besides the list of old envers mere is another host of newcomers, like Bryan Saulspaugh.

Bob Carey, Ira Hall, Leon DeHart and Fred Merzney. It la not alwava wise to sneeze at the one has a tendency to do so, he had better put his Index finger on his lip directly under his nose and stop the sneeze especially if he can Just remember that Frank Lockhart was In the same category as these youngsters when he came here In 1928. What he did Is history that year and the following. He won to. 1928 and In 1927 he whirled his rear wheel drive around In qualification at 120.1 miles an hour fast that no one has come near it before or since.

Of particular interest is the fact that in the list announced to date there are seven cars that are factory entries. These are the four Etude bakers, the two Hudson and the one Hupp. The highly specialised racing cars stia will have the call so far aa rpeed Is conc emed.but the near stocks have a chance to finish well up or even to win. Juan Oandlno, of the Argentine, Is nera witn a near etocx cnrrsier. Old Battle Aaawred.

The old battle of the front and the rear drives win go en as it has for several years The front drives announced to date are Billy Arnold, MUler Hartz; Frank Brlsko, Brlsko Atkinson; George Howie. Howie, un named, Boyle Valve; Paul Boat, Em State; Wesley Crawford, Boyle alve; Cliff Durant, Miller Harts Special. Lou Moore has had a Boyle Valve rear drive at the speedway for weeks, and his entry has not yet been announced. A count shows thirty two eights, three sixteen, four fours and one six. Getting back to the youngsters for a moment: Bob Carey has been making quite a bit of racing history on the wae er 4 we.

XJm bow kVMv wuonKta aw Just a sort of dally chore to reel off 100 miles In competition with twelve cr fourteen drivers on a mile track at ninety one miles an hour. And. any one who can do that and still be a practical newcomer to big league rae lng will hare to be watched. Of course, Carey had been doing things en the smaller banked tracks before he began going wide open, so to rpear. on the mile track out at Oak land, Cal.

i CcktrUIes aw over ue aa oi enmea one does not yet see BUI Cummags, bur Chaw, Babe Etspp, Tony Gulotta, Luther Jctnson, and a few ethers who re as sura to be behind the wheel is they are ts be alive today. Some cf these better known drivers will be cr otp dir. mrnamed out of a place in some cr ta car little later on. Fred Frame, ho placed second in a Ilartz Due.Tbcrj last year, still is to be heard from. And rprakir of Etapp, every one win be glad to hear, aa Mark Twain raid once about his death, that his Lijuri't have been greatly exaggerated.

The wcrd came Friday that 13 brrt has entered a ear and will be bere wlih r.cthir.? worse than a broken trm, tut even a broken arm may be quits a haniicap wr.h the 'er, Winners, in List race only thirty days away, i Stapp tried to straighten out a turn in the Ascot half mile track at Los Angeles Wednesday night and went through the fence and first report were that ao uau uccu cnucsuj injurea. The drivers have had two yeara with cars under the present rules and there is no doubt that in the main they should come into the race several miles faster than they were last year. Ameld fa limelight Particular Interest will center about Billy Arnold this year because he has twice won the right to possess temporarily the Prest Ute brick for leading at 200 miles and the Wheeler Schebler cup for leading at 400 miles. If he should this year, for the third time, win these two. it is understood there will be considerable discussion as to whether he has not earned the right to their permanent possession.

They were put up hi stock ear competition daya a fifth of a century ago, and it may require a' group of Philadelphia lawyers to decide the point if he should be leading at these mile posts this year. So. looking again at the announced entry list to date and its various possibilities and probabilities it la a safe assertion that this year the race will be well worth going to see.

Prospects were that the track would be alow. Although a field of nine highly rated speedsters was named for the Clark, interest in the Seelbach hotel, a $1,000 event over six and one half furlongs, surpassed it in interest.

The. Seelbach drew seven Kentucky Derby eligiblea and promised to resolve Itself into a real Derby prep. Burning Blase, the Shandon farm's hopeful, making his debut, waa as signed top weight of 11S pounds. Saa erac. Crystal Prince, Cathop, Adobe Post and Bay Angon, all Derby candidates, were given pounds, while Rowdy Boy, the Three Da Deby prospect, waa let in with 10S.

MILWAUKEE. April SO. Tom Angle? has been suspended for five days. Thomas J. Rickey, president of the American Association, announced Friday The Indian catcher was chased in the sixth inning Thursday for engaging in a verbal quarrel with Umpire Clayton.

Hickey. who attended the game, said Angleys conduct waa nn becoming a ball player. Angiey haa proved a flop In his batting thus far this season and the Tribe bosses are figuring on a change In the catching department. He haa been batting only a little above .200 for the season and be has been In about ten games. Last year Angiey finished the season with a mark of J75.

The Indiana have a young rookie catcher, Ed Younger, who had a little experience in the Texas League. It la said he was taken on by the Tribe this year to work in the bull pen. It may be the youngster will get a chance with Angiey on the ropes. Younger la said to be a fine batter and a great thrower. The Indians are scheduled to leave Milwaukee early tonight for Kansas City, where they will open a four game series Sunday.

500 MILE RACE AT SPEEDWAY AND I. U. RELAY TEAM BREAKS RECORD Crimson Stars Lower 17 Year Old Distance Med ley Mark at Drake. SEEK FURTHER HONORS DE3 MOINES. Tju.

April SO (AJE.) Surviving stars in the annual Drake Relays, with three new records already to their credit, today renewed assaults on existing standards. Indiana University athlete, who broke an intercollegiate record of seventeen standing In the distance medley relay yesterday, were after two more long range marks In today's finals. One was In the two mile run where Henry Brocksmith hoped to knock several seconds off the 8:22.1 set by Clark Chamberlain, of Michigan State. a year ago. The other waa in the four mile relay.

The record of 17:45. set by Illinois 1922. Is the oldest in a major event on the books. The Hoosier medley quartet, with Martlch and Neeae running the 440 and 830 yard laps in the absence of Fuqua and Hornsboetel. who were injured In an automobile accident Thursday en route to Dea Moines, cracked the seventeen year old record by winning In 10:19.1.

The old record waa 10:20. Held Back at Start. The start of the race scarcely Indicated an easy Hoosier victory as Mar tlch. running the first quarter, was kept back In the field. Neese.

running the half mile lap. started near the tall endera but finished third and Kemp gave Brocksmith a lead of ten feet over Howery. of Notre Dame, as they started the final mUe. Brocksmith was clocked in and finished 120 yards ahead of the Notre Dame star. Purdue finished behind Grlnnell for fourth.

George Baling, the Iowa hurdling' star, and John Brooks, a sophomore colored athlete from the University of Chicago, shared the honors aa record breakers in the high hurdles and broad Jump. An interesting duel in sprint relay supremacy waa in prospect for today with Marquette. Kansas, Nebraska and Illinois qualified in both the 440 and 830 yard races. The record breaking performance of. Baling waa the first event on tbe program.

He raced the 120 yard high hurdles In :14.6, running against a slight breeze. The old mark was :14.7. made by Hager. of Iowa State, last year. Baling finished well in front of Roden.

of Wisconsin, the other qualifier In the heat Brooks's performance In the broad Jump was the most surprising of the day. He leaped 24 feet 8 Inches to better by five and five eighth inches a record set by Dehart Hubbard, of Michigan. In 1924. Burns Qualifies in 198. The surprise of the 100 yard dash preliminaries waa the elimination of Thompton.

University of Minnesota ace. who won the event at the Kansas relays. Thompton tangled with Klaner. of Kansas, and Tiemey. of Marquette, in the fastest heat and finished third, out of the qualifiers.

The time for this heat was Burns, of Butler University, was among the qualifiers in the century. Except for Brooks's performance In the broad Jump, the field events failed to provide any particular sensations. Hugh Rhea, of Nebraska, put the shot SO feet Inch. BOWLIN The City League cloned its season at the Hotel Antlers Friday night by rolling a double header and the scoring was some of the best the loop has enjoyed this season. Eddie Horn berger and Larry Coble especially were in rare form, the former showing 1.327 for the six games and Coble 1.309.

Larry Fox waa Just a step behind with 1.298. In team play Bailey's Realtors passed up a great chance to take high team total, also' set a new high mark for single game. They hit 1.180 In the second to collect 3X98 after a slow start of 854. Marott Shoes also found their stride in one setto for 3.104 while Wieaman Specials hit 3.075. The Washington League failed to cut loose with any sensational scoring but most of the members did their average no harm.

Trama could hardly be tied up ainch tlxhter than In the St. Joan of Are National Leasee, where rtnk Mumbinf and Cardinal were lied for first with flfty eix end forty three. Gartland Foundry, tan aean Furniture and American Eaiatra were lied for second, one tame brhlrvd the lead era. Hifh team play waa a follow: CU iarna Motork Car. 1.00 and 3.001: Athletic.
