HONOR MIS REIDELL Miss Wllmlna Reldell. who wlU soon become a bride, was auest of honor at miscellaneous shower on Wednesday Society? BY JIMMY COECOEAN 1 (LN.8. Staff Correspondent) Speedway, Indianapolis, May 30. Thirty-three of the choicest mechanical contraptions of this mechanical age snorted acrosB the starting line here at 10 o'clock this morning in the seventeenth anpnal Indianapolis Memorial Day automobile pice. The distance is 500 miles.

Leon Duray, steering a Packard Special, was the first across the line. Hs was traveling under aull head of steam and proceeded to pull away from his mates. Ralph Hepburn, another Packard entry, followed Duray The Packards seemed to have the break in the get-away. Babe Stapp, in a Miller Special, was third. Cliff Woodbury, Chicago's favorite in ft Boyle Valve, tuned over fourth, and Bay Keech in a Simplex was fifth.

Duray's time for the first lap of 2tt biles was one minute and 23 seconds. A Dusenberg SpecUl, tooled by BUI Spence, caught fire on one of the far turns, but the blaze wasn't serious. It was extinguished and Spence continued on the grind. The time for the first five miles was two minutes and forty-four seconds. Leon Duray was leading at this distance at 109.756 M.

P. H. Deacon Llls Leads at 5. When twenty-five miles had been ground out, Deacon Lltz was topping the field. Ralph Hepburn was second Leon Duray third.

Ray Keech fourth and Billy Arnold fifth. The time was thirteen minutes and forty-six seconds Cliff Woodbury in a Boyle Valve Special, rated as one of the favorites, was the first to drop out of the race When his car crashed on a turn. Wood bury, however, was uninjured. Bill Spence, whose steed caught fire early in the race had another good break when It turned over and rendered the entry null and void for the time being. Fans Present At least 190,000 speed maniacs have ktormed the town to see the annual scorch that may lead to fame or the hospital.

One ambitious young driver reached the hospital hours ahead of the start ing gun. He is Phil Pardee of Los Angeles, hope of the west coast, who WM to drive Miller Special No. 44, the car originally scheduled for Ralph de Falma. While practicing for today's hot grind, Pardee last night crashed Into a retaining wall along the north turn and tossed himself into the City hospital and his car out of the race. Pardee, a beginner on this track had quite a reputation as a dirt track driver, and his work on the Indian apolis course, until last night's crack up, brought him many plaudits.

Try that on your family chariot some day Center of Sport World. Today Indianapolis Is the center of the sporting world. They're saying It With gas. These good people have been Jamming themselves around the track Since midnight last night for a choice place to see the tin boats go bumpty-bump over the rolling brick thoroughfare.

We have gathered here today that strange species of the thrlll-seckcr who would rather inhale ga than fresh air That's what makes this Memorial Day event. Oone are the De Palmas, the Heames, the Chevrolet and the Wil-coxes, but another age has come to battle for the pot of gold that will run well over $100,000. Today they're talking of Cliff Wood-, bury, Who wUl pilot a Boyle Valve BpSli tjton Dry who will drive a Packard; Ralph Hepburn, another Packard champion; Babe Stapp, skipper of Miller Special; Pete de Paolo. ft Boyle entrant; BUly Arnold of the Boyle family, and many others. Only two previous winners faced the tarter.

They are Louie Meyer, last year's victor, and Pete de Paolo. A lot of cold do-re-ml will go down that either one of these will repeat. Cliff Woodbury hu the pole for the Start of the grind. Next to him is Leon Duray. Duray holds the record for one lap of the Indianapolis merry-go-- round.
