Rose Sweeps From Behind To Take Indianapolis Race HI Mauri Rose, an engineer In an airplane motor factory, drives the winning car across the finish »‘ n ®- !ln the annual 500 mile Memorial Day speed classic al the Indianapolis speedway.

MOORE'S CM ISWINNEROF SPEEDWAY RACE _ • Relief Driving Os Mauri Romp Given Credit For Triumph Indlanapolit, Ind . May 31 lU.B) Ttie name isf Floyd Ikivls <»f Hpringfieid. 111., was engraved on a big silver cup today a« the 29th winner irf the SManilo Indianatmlls Speedway classic lost the name irf a hometown Imy who carries a rabbit's foot was engraved <>n the memories of 162. <mmi people. The second name was that of Mauri Ro«e. a youngish veteran who divides his lini 1 between racing automobiles and Imilding airplane engines. Rose has a simple philosophy: if at first you don't «ia-< eed you should try and try again. Yesterday he tried for the seventh time to win the world's premier s|o-ed classic and the | seventh time wax good. I The way he did it wa- somewhat < 'implicated when his own car developed trouble oil the Gist lap >»f the Sltm.tMM* grind and could not be repaired In time for him to continue Then, io rounds later, he took over Davis' machine as a relief driver and slowly hut surely brought it hrnne In front. The rules say that the tnan who starts in the winning car gets official credit for the triumph. But around the deserted pits of the track and all over thia town today that was all the credit Davis got. As far as the record numla-r of 162.<m0 spectators were concerned, as far us the rival drivers were ■ oneerned. and so far as the owner <rf the winning car was concerned Ros,- was ahe boy whose skill and daring won the race. Ixm Moore. the man who Imilt the slim blue and r.-d machine which proved the fastest and stouteat in the 32-car field, didn't mince words when he rushed to the winner's circle as the checkered flag tell after four hours. 20 minutes and 36 24 seconds of nerve-wrartt-Ing competition which cut 17 of the starters out of the race and sent Lair men to the hospital. "When I sent Rose in to repines Davis." he said, "die car was 15th and running at an average of 114 miles an hour. We made n > change In the car In fact not even gas Was add>-d yet Rose brought it borne a bp on top and at times wound It up to 122 miles an hour. You can quote me as saying that Rose won the rase and that I glvs Dvla little of the credit." Moore's -ummary was perhaps the most accurate. Williui Shaw. ' rhe pre-rave favorite and three-time winner, was nut In front and winging away on his road tn a fourth triumph when Rose climbed Into the Moore car and started out a second time, and slowly Ir-wn closing the wide gap. It war at the half may point trf 350 mile* that he brought his new machin- into the first 10. and from lherc on he gradually moved up At 300 miles he wax fourth beblnd Shaw. Cliff Bergere and Rex Mays, and at 350 miles he had closed ground hut had nog improved I position. Then came the big break. Shaw, holding what appeared to be a safe lead, went crashing Into the fence on the 151st laip and couldn’t come liaek tor amither try.
