LARGEST CROWD IS PREDICTED 500-Mile Race Will Draw Thousands of I ans to Speedway Speedway, Indianapolis. Ind., May 28 Time and distance are ‘ prepared for the annual onslaught I by International speed stars in the liOt-mile race for SIOO,OOO and ad- 1 iled prizes at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Friday. Hut time, distance and the speedway management, prepar’d ( to care for the largest crowd in the history of the ra<;e. are the' only ones prepared. Drivers and mechanics will he working on their : cars until they leave the starting line promptly at 10 o’clock Central Standard Time. Friday morning. It is racing tradition that speed cars never arc ready until they pull away with the starting bomb. This year—the first in seven years in which two man cars, demanding riding mechanic as well as driver -4s no exception. Former champions of American speedways, previous winners of Indianapolis races, Europe's star drivers, new pilots, many of them young and hopeful, some of them with unusual driving capabilities, all will whirl around the two and one-ha'f mile ribbon of brick anl concrete in five hours of breathtaking tribute to the goddess of speed. In the background of the 170.000 people who will witness the race, with all of its spectacular, sensational drama, will be a group of engineers awaiting the outcomes The mechanical failures as well as the successes will be dissected under a microscope of interest. The results obtained by these guinea pigs of speed will become another step in the progress of rapid, safe comfortable transportation as expressed in the passenger cars in which you ride. Unlike boxing, football, baseball -—other major sports — automobile racing at Indianapolis is an aid to the advancement of civilization while entertaining, at one and the same time, the largest crowd that annually attends any sporting event. Louis Meyer, defending champion. and Peter De Paolo, two time champion of American speedways, both of them previous 500-mile race winners are looked upon as veterans of the field. Meyer, who won here in 1928 and was second last year was champion in 1928

The Old Hoss of Alabama. Riggs • Stephenson, has a lame arm. bit h edid more than his share in Sunday’s game with the Cardinal.:. Although the Cuba went down to defeat. 6 to 3, Riggs accounted for one Cub run with a homer, walked once and made two great catche | in the field. and 1929. De Paolo, winning In 1925. held the championship in . 1925 and 1927. Billy Arnold, who is the po’e driver for the start of the race, is a Chicago youngster who formerly played football at the University’ of Illinois. Driving the front wheel special entered by Harry Hartz, champion in 1926 and three times second and twice fourth in Indianapolis 500-mile races, Arnold is no stranger on the Indianapolis bricks. Lined up beside Arnold on the pole, will be the 25-year-old champion. Louis Meyer, defending his laurels in a 16-cylinder Sampson Special. And on the outside of the line is William “Shorty" Cantion. tiny mite of hurry who is at the wheel of the entry of William White, voting and rotund Hollywood. Cal., speed magnate who in 1927 brought George Souders. Purdue University undergraduate here an unknown and saw him flash across the finish wire a winner wearing the red and oyster colors of the White Stable. Just as an indication of the variety of < ars —as well as driving types—in the race one must gaze ■> moment a’ the front row of starting cars. The pole car is an S-cy’inder front wheel drive, the second car is a 16-cylinder conventional rear wheel drive and the third car is a four cylinder, rear

wheeler. Any driver who can make the | first row nt the start must come in ' tor some consideration In hoping, 'the finish. They don’t wish tlv'in-1 I selves Into that front row. They I win jt. driving ten miles against I time, with the fastest cars getting | the forward positions. Bacoml liorzui chlni on a 16-cyl-I Inder Maserati from far away Italy is a bit of a dark cotnplexioned | contender. His car was fast In Europe. He rode 152.85 miles an hour in it over a 10 kilometer straightaway course at Cremona. 1 What he will do tn the traffic of. Indianapo’is, negotiating its four j quarter turns is nt best a guess. Peter He Paolo, Egbert "Rabe" i Stapp and Deacon Litz, all In ! I’nosetibeigs. mu t lie figured as ' reel contenders. They all have j been front runners. They like to ride fast. If the ears are rapid, |' ' rest assured the drivers will wheel i , them. Tony Gulotta. Wilbur Shaw are, I a pair of experienced pilots on 1 ' ' four cylinder cars who must be | I figured for the final reckoning j' '• Thon there is a group of pilots who 1 are good but who are generally i j unknown to the crowd in their I ' nreviou-- performances. Boys like] Louis Schneider. Chester Gardner, I Russell Snowberger. Leslie Allen. ! Phil Shafer and Lou Moore, who ' have been third and second respec-; lively at the finish of racon bore ' and who have been front cars in ' I other events, are on a pair of nn-!' I known cars this year. But they | are experienced and for that mat-I ter all of the cars are of unknown i quality. Jimmy Gleason, also a third ' placer here in one race, and a lead- j er on other occasions is a favorite ! with spectators. He drives like it ' might be fun. Spectators like his type. Bill Cummings, of Indianapolis, and Mel Kenealy. Los Angeles, are a pair of youngsters making their fir-t start who wili bear watching. Cummings has had unusual success on the dirt tracks in the middle yest. Kenealy has led the field cf dirt track competition on the California coast. Cummings will be ' teaming with DePaolo and Kenealy with Gulotta. There are other unknowns who may come forward and snatch the calcium of world wide attention just as Lockhart. Souders and 1 Meyers did by winning recent races 1 here. But they have nothing out- ' sanding to recommend them as ‘ they roll away from the tape, ex- 1 eept that they are contenders — and that they are starting. That i gives them a chance at Indianapo-: 1 Its. where the race is long, the go-'' ing rough and tough and the elc-. 1 ment of luck, strong. Russell Snowberger has the best 1 chance of the stock cars, although L. L. Corum, co-winner of the 1921 race w ! th Joe Boyer, has had more < driving experience at Indianapo’is. Snowberger. however, has a car I ’h; t ranks with the best in speed. • ■ t

I In the front row starters Cantion , will be instructed to go out for the lap prizes--SIOO hung on the flni-h wire for the lender In each lap Arnold, driving for Hartz, probably i will lie instructed to ride in the I first division but ride easy. Champion Meyer, probably will pursue the same course. He always has. If the fast cars stay together the average will lie around 100 milen an hour, it was 97 last year. If several fast cars stay in the running there is even likelihood that the race will exceed the 101.13 i miles an hour record of De Paolo made In 1925. Preceding the start of the race there will be a parade by the 1.500 piece band the largest band in the world.

Johnson is managing Washing'on and has his t am out in front by a four-game margin. Street has raided the St. Louis Cardinals into he National league lead. The Senators won their seventh traight game yesterday, defeating the New York Yankees, 7 to 2. Pittsburgh broke St. Louis' 8gatne winning streak, 8 to 5, but he Cards held their half-game lead s Brooklyn also was defeated.

Jones had been one up at the ninth in his match with Shankj land.
