Seth Klein To Start Cars In 500-Milc Race Indianapolis. May 15. -Seth Klein. 2l>o-pound figure of Hie automobile world, will dart and stop lite automobiles in the Thirteenth International 500 mile race to be held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Saturday, May .'loth, it was announced today by the speedway management. He will be the official starter. Klein, an Indianapolis man, has been assistant starter for several years anil always has taken an active patt in the pre-race activities at the local track. l(e is being elevated both in position and height for the coming race. .. assistant *starter he always worked on the track, flagging cars as they thundered past. This year he will occupy a covered stand, built over the outside of the track, across from the judges stand and press pagoda, directly over the start and finish line. So fast have the cars been running at Indianapolis in the past years, a new system of flagging has been inaugurated for this year. The cars have been thundering down the stretch so rapidly tint it is humanly impossible to ’dentity them, even with glasses, in time to signal ‘tliem before they cross the finish wire. 't his year a multiple telephone system. operated at the head of the stretch by a watcher, will be connected with Klein in the starter’s stand, to the judges and scorers and to the assistant starters on the ground.

itretch. the watcher will give its position in tin* line of ears and II will give the important official brigtide plenty o ftime to perform its duty. The starter's role at Indianapolis is a most important one and must lie enacted by a steady, cap.tide sportsman cognizant of all the rules, even the most minute, of the great gasoline sport. From the moment he sends the | field away with the red tlag, until the last car has taken the checkered —or finish-flag, the drivers pay heed to none except the man who sits in his ' perch over the start and finish line. In case of accident he is the man who warns them to proceed with caution: in case they are to cotne in to be reprimanded for an infraction of the rules, it is the starter who doles out the sad information with his I wordless messages. Klein is well qualified for his duties and is tremendously popular with all 'of the old line pilots who will he here to participate in what promises to be the greatest race in the successful history of the Indianapolis l plant. 0 _ Switch Engine Strikes Bus; One Woman Killed Windsor Ont..
