AUTO DRIVERS START TESTS .. Speedway, Indianapolis. May 24 £ (U.R)—The first test of the racing <jirs which will circle the track 2t)O- times in the annual classic next Friday, occurred today when u. score of drivers prepared for the TO mile yial runs which wlil decide starting positions. Position trials will be continued tomorrow, and may not be completed until next Wednesday. " Today's runs will give a more accurate gauge on the probable speed of the 500-mile event, with some of the fastest cars due for their four rounds before dark. Drivers must make 85 miles an hour in the trials to qualify, and (j, is not anticipated that any will have difficulty at that pace. The faster the gait, the more favorable the starting position will be, however. and as each lap means SIOO in the big event, some dizzy speed is expected during the next fewdays. A lot of fast creations are on the bricks, with the speculation favoring Harry Hartz, dean of speedway racers, and Louis Meyer, sensation of the past two years, for pole positions. ; Today's qualiiers set positions in the first row of starters, with tfiose making their runs Sunday, falling in behind in the order of tbeir qualifying speeds. “Thus far Hartz' front drive Miller has made the fastest lap time of the year, at 112 miles an hour plus. Three different drivers have wheedled out laps at above 110 fl(jiles an hour with this machine. | i The dark horse of the race thus fiir in the Maserati IS-cylinder car from Italy, which will be piloted liy Raconi Borzacchini. It is undoubtedly one of the fastest machines In the event —probably having greater speed over short distances by some 10 miles an hour than its nearest competitor. hasn’t appeared on the oval, and probably won't put fits machine through its trial paces

I SIMPSON TRIES FOR NEW RECORD 1 Evanston, 111., May 24. — (U.R) — I George Simpson of Ohio State was J out to establish himself officially , as the world's fastest sprinter I when the best track and field ath- . letes of the w stern conference opened competition in th” final events of the annual big ten outdoor championships nt Dyche stadium, Northwestern University, to- , dav. Without the starting blocks which caused his previous world r ecords J , to be disallowed. Simpson planned i | to run from toe holes in the Hill and 220-yard events. He Virtually! I was conceded victory in both i events. Simpson's chief rival was Eddie Tolan, tl et Michigan negro whose time of :09.5 in the century recently was recognized by the internallional amateur athletic federation as j 'a world's record. The federation r jected Simpson's time of :09: 1 because he used starting blocks. The performances of the Ohio I State star in the championship j trials yesterday w-as the feature of the day. Running against a rain, he n gotiated the 220 in 21 seconds, 4 seconds slower than the present record, and the 100 in :09.7. Unfavorable weather conditions held down the times in the other track ev nts in the preliminaries, but a fast track and better weather v.as promised today. In the seam competition during the trials, three teams—Michigan, Illinois and lowa—each qualified 15 men to tie for first place. The other teams were to start the finals today with the following qualifiers: Ohio State 13; Wisconsin. 11; Chicago, 6; Northwestern.

The well balanced Wol- ■ veiine team placed two men In t sew n events In which trials were held and one man In the broad i jump. i Spectators at the trials expressed disappointment when they learned that Orval Martin, Purdue's middle distance < xpert, will not be entered in the half mile, but will confine his efforts to the mile and two mile runs. Dale Letts. Chicago, and .Martin had been exp tied to provide u great duel in the 880-yard event. Letts’ time in the tiial event was 156.9, the best of th- day. The events in which trials were held yesterday were the hammer throw, javelin throw, shot put, discus throw, broad jump. 220 yard hurdles, 120 yard hurdles, 320-yard dash, half mile run. 100 yard dash and 440-yard dash.

I 1 But for all his years of plough- ! ing through dust clouds. Shaw is ' experienced in the ways of tlie ' bricks of the Indianapolis course. He drove at Indianapolis in 1927 when he finished the Jynx Special in fourth place. Then in the 1928 race, Shaw drove relief for the late Ray Keech, winner of the 1929 race, when* Keech came home fourth. In 1929 he did not appear ’ here. ‘ Then came his sensational dash across the dirt track horizon last summer. In th 100 mile race at Syracuse, Shaw won in 1:14:00.8 establishing a new world’s record of 81.06 miles an hour, eclipsing he mark of the late Frank Lock- , hart made in 1927 in Cleveland ,: when he rode 100 miles at an 80.81 miles an hour gait. At Bridg- ville, Pa., he whirled 100 miles on a half mile track at ’ a speed of 67.5 miles an hour; at , Cleveland he won an 85 mile run over a mile dirt track at an average of 71.75 miles an hour; in a eturn at Bridgeville he travelled an average ot 71.33 miles an hour for 100 miles; the Toledo 100-mile race he annexed at an average of , 78.987 miles an hour. f As a result of this strenuous , season in the dirt, Shaw placed . third in tlie American Automobile . Association championship rating for 1923. He has a penchant for

four cylinder cars — the cur with; which ills successes of lust year were Identified mid It is u h’ lll cyllnd r Empire State Special he drives In tlie 500-mile nice tills year. An interesting sidelight of the, running of the International 500-, mile iae nt tlie Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Muy 30 Is to lie a fen lound butt! - the night before the race in which Sammy Mundell.! the world’s lightweight champion will face Spug Myers, the luirdi hitting Idaho boxer in wliut promIs s Io lie u furious encounter.
