Harry Hartz Is Favorite In Indianapolis Auto Race Indianapolis, Ind . May 4 — Four years us a big league race driver and i a large enough fortune amassed so I that if he so desired ho might quit ■ all active work and live on the interest of hl« dangerously won principal. Not yet thirty years old and unmarried. That would sound like it puyi to take the greatest chances over taken in the field of sport. Harry Hartz, who will drive a Miller Special in the fourteenth annual 500-mile International sweepstakes. May 31st, is the young man in question. Five years ago he rode as niechani--1 dun with Eddie Hearne. Then he' branched out as a driver for himself and won second place in the 1922 mile race when Jimmy Murphy won i it at tlie astounding average of 94.48 mile-' an hour. The next year, 1923, | Tommy Milton won the race and Hartz ' came in second. In 1924 Boyer and Corum won it and Hairy^tlaced fifth In 1925. Hartz, in spite of a car hardly in condition to drive as the result iof hitting the wall when his rear Hire punctured, finished fourth at the i phenomenal speed of 98.89 miles an hour. Hartz is one of the young men of the racing game. Not only does he own his own car, hut in addition, he has two more, one of which Fred Comer will drive for him and the other will l>e driven by a driver whose name has not been announced. It is no secret that Hartz last year t esolved to get away from his conservative method of driving into sure money rather than take a chance of breaking up to take first. But the ' fates were against him. This year, 1 with a record of two second places behind him. he will try to step into ’ the winner’s shoes. There is no que-.s- I tion about his driving ability and none* about his preparation of a car. Hartz's 1 car lias never failed to run like a (

railroad watch In the most gruelling race In the world. As a driver ho haa no superior. The eyes of the world’s fandom will be on him In the race on May 31, to see whether he really has winning timber In him. Ill’ friends uro positive that he has. But the spectators who have seen him finish well up hut never first, will have to be shown. Hartz has told T. E, (Pop) Myers, speedway manager, that he will try to show them. . mu— — Qi ill — IL IL Hearing Adjourned Because Os Election Indianapolis, Ind., May 4.j—(United Prose) Hearing on the petition of the Central Indiana railroad, oporat--1 Ing between Muncie and Bruz.il, stood I adjourned today until Wednesday on account of the primaries. | Clyde Jones, state public service commission member, is In charge of the 1 hearing.
