UNHERALBEDBOY | IS RACE WINNER By Bert M. Demby, VP Staff Correspondent Indianapolis. Mnv .11. (U.R)--A blackhaired, 23-year-old youngster, practlc-1 ally unknown to the racing world loss : than 48 hours ago, today saw his name go into the records as one of that ; select list of drivers who have won I the annual 500-mile Indianapolis motspeedway race, the premier auto- ; mobile racing event of America. Meyer drove a Miller Special over ■ the Soil miles in 5:01:33:75 yesterday to win. Ilis average per mile was , 99.482. Wednesday morning, he entered the i race unheralded anil not even looked ; upon as one of the possible "dark ; horse" winners. He had driven less l than 125 miles over the speedway track. His little experience here I came last year when he drove a short | time as a relief pilot. But as the race progressed beyond the 250-mile mark, the fans began to 1 notice that Louis Meyer was in the: race. He is one of those drivers who I do not indulge in the spectacular, but ' his poise at the wheel gives him the I sort of color which endeared the late Frank Lockhart to the fans. His automobile was in perfect con- • dition yesterday. He made only one | stop during the race, that the regular I halfway pause to take on gasoline and ' oil and look over the car. He was in | the pits just two minutes and thirteen seconds. Throughout the race he was content to lay back, merely staying among the first five. He seemed assured i that his chance to win lay not in I spurting to overtake the leaders but I in pushing them to “wear out" their . cars. As the final seventy-five miles of the race began the lead was nip and I tuck between Jimmy Gleason and Tony Gulotta. the former driving a | Duesenberg and the latter a Stutz. > Gleason and Gulotta traded the lead * more than once and they were looked ■ upon as the first and second place j winners with but a few laps to go. Meyer stayed behind them, not even attempting to get into their fight for the lead. Then suddenly on the 186th | lap the brealj came. Gleason was ' forced from the race permanently and Gulotta's car developed motor i trouble which kept him in the pits fori several minutes. Then Meyer swung into the lead and was never headed. Gtiliotta managed to repair his car and get back ’ on the track in time to finish in tenth I place. This years’ winner lives in South Gate, California. Commenting on his victory today, he hWkthis to say: “Boy, I'm happy.” He was formerly a mechanic and learned what he knows about the racing game, he said from Frank Elliott. “Give all the credit to Frank,” he said, “he taught me what I know about race driving.” The first ten finishers in the race, their cars, and average, follow: Position, Driver. Car M.P.H. 1— L. Meyer, Miller Special 99.482 2— L. .Moore, Miller Special 99.241 3— G. Souders, S. A. I. Special 98.039 4— R. Keech, S. P. R. Special . 93.320 5— N.

Stutz Special 88.888 Meyer received $20,000 as the first prize, Moore won SIO,OOO, Souders $5,000, and the next seven splite sls.- ( 000 between them. A SIO,OOO consolation prize is divided among drivers who start but are forced out. It is distributed according to the number i of laps each drives. Louis Schneider, Indianapolis, was driving Moore’s car at the finish and it was first announced that Schneider had won second place. However, a later check last night showed that Moore had driven more laps than Schneider and thus was entitled to the place, even though he did not finish the race. George Young Wins Big Race At Winchester Winchester, Ind., May 31 -George Youit;; of Milwaukee finished first in 25 mile e-ent of the annual Memorial day ices r u Funk's Speedway halfmile drt track here Wednesday. V in ;:’., time was 24 minutes 16 2-5 seconus. Cail Butts of Dayton. 0., was second, a halt lap behind Young. Os the 11 starters but two finished. I). D. Morris, of Chicago Heights, in second position, was coming into the stretch at the end of his eleventh lap when his car plunged ever a 12 foot embankment. His car was demolished. Morris, thrown clear, was picked up unconscious and taken to a Winchester hospital where it was said his condition was not serious. Ralph Eckstrom of Chicago, won the first 10-mile event, turning the distance in 9:40. The second 10-mile event was won by D-. D. Morris in 9:45 Bill Cummings of Indianapolis, driving the 20 laps in 9 minutes 37 seconds won the third event for that dislance.
