THREE DEATHS MARSPEEDWAY RACE TUESDAY Louie Meyer Sets New Record In Annual 500-Mile Race Indianapolis. May 31. — <U.R) —Lou Moore. Los Angeles, won third place in the 500-mile race yesterday, officials of the Ind anapolis motor speedway announced today after a re-check of timing apparatus. Chester Gardner, Long Beach Calif., originally announced as third place winner, was dropped into fourth position. Indianapolis, May 31 — (U.R) — Louie Meyer of California shared today with Tommy Milton the pedestal reserved for two-time winners of the Indianapolis speedway 500 mile race, the world's greatest test of automobile speed and stamina. Meyer, who came from in where to win the event in 1928. yesterday scored a brilliant triumph, over the fastest field ever to go to the post. He smashed the course figure over the gruelling distance by turning the 200 laps in 4:48:00.55, for an average sneod of 104.102 miles an hour. The victory brought his $12,750 in prize money. The burning speed at which the 21s’ renewal of the race was run sent two drivers and a riding mechanic to their deaths. Mark Billman, an Indianapolis boy. was killed while hundreds of his friends looked on when his car skidded on the treacherous south’ eas' turn and crashed into the concrete retaining wall. He was prnned between the car and the wail. Lester Spangler and his mechanic, G. L. Jordan, suffered fatal injuries when their Miller Special crashed into the Universal Special driven by Melcolm Fox. Killed In Trials Two other lives were sacrificed to speed in the qualifying trials last week when Bill Denver and his partner, Bob Hurst, hurtled the northeast wall. Meyers winning margin was a full Hire- laps over Wilbur Shaw, who earned second money for Leon Duray’s Mallory Special. Chet Garner in a Sampson Special. Lou Moore driving a Foreman Special, and Stubby Stubblefield in an Ahels-Fink Special, finished third, fourth and fifth. Meyer, who scorned relief and stayed at the wheel the entire 500 miles, drove a beautifully planned race. Although he had qualified at a speed of better than 115 miles an hour and knew he had one of the fastest cars, the Californian refused to join in the snrinting in the first hundred and fifty miles, elect iag to lay back •*’d allow Wild Bill Cummings. Fred Frame, Maurie Rose and the other early leaders to set the pace. But when the field swept past the 200 mile mark. Meyer, who hod been gradually picking rp those in front of him. was in second place. He held this position until the 350 mile post, when h« gave his little car the gun and banged into the lead. Once on top he was never headed. Meyer made but three pit stops, and was off the track but two and one-half minutes. Meyer would have smashed the
