Ralph DePalma Is Entered In Annual 500-Mile Race 1 Indianapolis. April 22. Ralph De I Palma, lavorlte ton ot automobile I racing for many years, has entered the Thirteenth International SOu-mlle automobile race to he held at the in dianapolis Motor Speedway, May 30. He returns to the Indianapolis event, after skipping last year’s thrilling contest, being the second time In the running of the great exhibition in which be had not competed. . De Palma Is one of the few veter-i ans of the first few 500-mile races, when speed was generated with bulky, locomotive style motors of pretentious construction, to enter this year’s contest. The majority of the veterans of yesteryear have gone into retirement, leaving the higher speed , creations of today in the hands of ( younger men with ybunger nerve and , younger eyes. But De Raima drives . on year after year, losing none of his skill ind cunning. ( Ralph DePalma has been a favor- ( ite for many years. Along with the ( retired Barney Oldfield he undoubted- , ly-Ts better known titan any of the ( present drivers despite the sensation- . al careers of many of them and de- , spite the fact that they have won more important races in which De ( Palma has competed. De Palma is one of the few men in ( this world who became popularly fa- , mouse through defeat. In 1!»12 at the f second Indianapolis 500-mile race. De ( Palma wax on an equal footing as to , public attention with any one of a ( score of pilots, when he drew the at- f tention of the crowd to him by a

1 s sensational driving race that sent him into a comfortable lead only live miles from the finish wire, ( . There was no question with the f crowd as to who was going to win. ( They were all cheering for De Palma. Then qn the home stretch his car , went dead. The crowd was awed. De 1 Palma and his mechanic hopped from the car and did everything in their ' power to get the ear going. But to no avail. Then <as Joe Dawson, who was in second place, passed De Palma’s stall- >' ed car to lake the lead and the race, ! the disappointed Italian waved to 1 Dawson and began the hearbreaking exhibition of pushing his car to the » pits. But he smiled every step of | the way. The crowd liked hi 4 atti- . tilde of sportsmanship. He garnered , more plaudits i:t defe&t than Dawson ‘ di<l in victory and as a reward he always is cheered in victory or defeat. He won the Indianapolis race in 1915. If De Palma wins a race the crowds go wild. If he loses the mobs shake tlnir heads, bemoan his fate and blame il on the bad luck tha made him an outstanding personality of automobile racing.
