SHOUSANDS will see the start of the elimination trials at the Speedway beginning Thursday afternoon at 1 o’clock, In charge of W. D. Edenburn, Three-A representative, and Seth Klein, official starter of the race. All cars must show a speed of eighty-five miles an hour for ten miles, or four laps of the big track. The fastest cars get the front row positions, with the fastest car of the day earning the pole for the start of Monday's race. All roads to the Speedway are now being marked by the Hoosier Motor Club for the benefit of visiting motorists and for the purpose of directing traffic over many different routes and relieve traffic congestion as much as possible, acording to Todd Stoops, secretarymanager of the club. Speedway visitors coming to Indianapolis from the north and west will be directed by markers south on Kessler Blvd. to Thirtieth St., west on Thirtieth St. to the ■Georgetown road, then south to the main gate. Visitors from the south and west will be stopped by markers on \V. Washington St. and directed north on Tibbs Ave. By this method of marking it is hoped to relieve traffic conditions in Indianapolis, for many who come to the race do not desire to see the center of the city, but do want to reach the Speedway the quickest way possible and over good roads. Markers will be placed on Washington St., New York St., Michigan St., Indiana Ave., Tenth St., Sixteenth St., Twenty-Ninth St.,'Kessler Blvd., Thirtieth St., Capitol Ave. and Meridian St. This will provide six different routes* to the Sjeedway, all of which are in good condition. * • • JENNIE HIL/L, Dave Lewis and Jules Ellinghoe were honor guests of the Service Club of the Inter-State Public Service Company, at the Lincoln, Tuesday noon. They were introduced by Tom Hendricks, who for many years "covered' the race for a local newspaper. Ellingboe was kidding Hill later in the afternoon and accused him of being a matinee Idol. AH the young ladies fell hard for little Bennie. He's married, girls. * • Dan Duesenfeerg, young son of Fred, doesn’t seem to think a lot of lus dad’s ability as a builder of cars. Dan, who is quite a*bieycle rider, is designing a couple of autos. They may be two-cycle, we don’t know. * * * Ellingboe finally is getting his Miller tuned up. Jules followed his usual custom Tuesday and was out early in the morning. The Memphis driver said he did around 1:28 without trying. * * * mHE packing cases in which the foreign cars were shipped here gave the local Speedway and this city quite a boost in big letters printed on the boxes—"INDIANAPOLIS SPEEDWAY, MAY 30, 1926. GREATEST RACE IN THE WORLD." That date should have been May 31, but then why kick about that. All of the cars were shipped from Paris, Including the English Eldrldge Specials. * * * Charles Shambaugh and his Sliambaugh Special will not be ready this year. The persistent designer of raqers can not get his latest creation built. He says he will be back in 1927. * • • The Sievers Special was out on the track again Tuesday after several days’ absence. A1 Sievers, the young engineer who designed the motor, says that the car Is geared too low and he has been trying to got new gears all week.. The new parts are promised today. The car is being kept at the Gil> sor. Auto Cos. • • * Chester Ricker, assistant to Odis Potor, oficial timer, was at the track for the first time Tuesday and unburdened himself of an epigran which went something like this: ‘‘lf the weather is cool the records will fall;if the weather is hot the tires will fall.” * pounds net, and known as “the one-ton truck of automobile racing," again is the official starter for the 500-mlle race. Klein waved the flags in last year’s event, sending the field on its long journey and clicking off the finish of the event, which was won by Peter De Paolo in a Duesenberg in the record-breaking average speed of 101.13 miles an hour. His “office” on the day of the race Is directly across the track from the officials’ stand. Perched twenty-five feet above the track on a suspended stand he sends the starters in the 500-mile race off with a flying rush of the red starting flag. Sinco the advent of the one-man cars the starter has taken on a new significance and anew flag with a white field and black center has been added to his kit. It Is a signal to a car that an overtaking mount is traveling faster and wants the right-of-way. The reason for the flag Is that oftentimes a driver becomes so absorbed in the race ahead that he does not see the cars coming from behind and is riding to the outside of the track so that it is impossible for a faster car to get around him. Klein also will handle the flags during the elimination trials. Thirty-three cars are permitted to start in the Indianapolis race, and if more than that number qualify the thirty-three fastest cars go to the starting . mark.
TIME TRIALS THURSDAY—SIGNS POINT TO SENSATIONAL RACE
Pilots in Qualification Tests Expected to Show Dizzy Speed—Devore Relief for Miller Front Drives. Qualification day at the Speedway tomorrow! From 1 p. m. until the last drivers report at 5 p.,m. there is certain to be sensational speed as the pilots strive for honor positions in the first lines when the cars get away i ntlie 500-mile grind on May 31.
Odis Porter, official timer, put hlsi electrical device in place today and tested out the apparatus which catches the cars In hundredths of seconds as they flash past. Among the favorites to qualify in fast time are Dave Lewis in ids front-drive Miller; llarr>' Hartz, Bennie Hill and Frank Lockhart. De Paolo and his “Deusie” are more or less of a question mark as yet. Leon Duray, who won the pole position last year with a speood of 113.196 miles an hour, now has a mount, having taken over one of Durant’s cars that Fengler originally was scheduled to drive. Fengler In Pits Harlan Fengler was forced to give up his mount when he found in practice spins that his arm, injured two years ago, was not strong enough to stand the strain. He will work In the pits and be ready for relief driving. The stock of the Milller frontdrives of Cooper and Lewis got a boost on Tuesday when it became known that Devore would act as a relief driver. This was quite a problem, as not all of the pilots understand the front-wheelers. Devore was out late Tuesday evening in a more or loss of a mystery car. It was discovered that Earl had a two-cycle motor in his old Miller Nickel Plate ( Speclal chassis. The two-cycle job. according to those who should know, was made In the Riokenbacker plant. Devore, however, will not drive the twocycle. It is too much in the experimental stage and does not develop enough speed. Cooper’s Car Expected Cooper’s car, which was damaged in an accident last week, was expected back at the track sure today. New tails are to be put on the front-drives which will hold thirtyfive gallons of gasoline. Other cars carry from twenty-five to thirty gallons. The Duesenberps were still at the factory on Tuesday. Pete De Paolo said his car would ho out today. Pete is not standing idly by. He worked all night. Monday on his mount at the Duesenberg plant. Last year's winner Is determined to qualify on Thursday. It will take plenty of assembly work to get the Deusles together as parts were scattered about Tuesday. IJitle by little as the cars get tuned up prospects appear bright for one of the most sensational races ever held hero. Plenty ot> speed Is being shown by the 91 1 j inch motors and the number of cars that have a chance to cop the rich prize increases daily. The cut-down Jobs do not appear to be out of the money by any means. They are not quite as fast as the new motors, but are likely to get into the picture somewhere. Lockhart Again Frank I.ockhart, the dirt track star, Is mak'ng the rallbirds sit up and take notice every day. On Tuesday" he circled tho oval in ICrels’ Miller at an average speed of 112.22 miles an hour, the fastest lap turned this year. Sergeant who guards the track gate said a mouthful when lie remarked, “That lad has 120 pounds of lead on his accelerator foot.” E. A. D. Eldrldge was out late Tuesday evening In one of his Elridge Specials and the car appeared to have plenty of speed, but several things appear necessary to get the English entry Into shape. . The front wheels wobble frightfully around the turns and nAjustments seem almost imperative if the foreign car is to stay In the running with the American competitors.

Atlanta youngster, brought another victory' for the American Walker cup team by defeating John Wilson of Prestwick, 4 and 8.

HARRISON PROGRAM PLEASES Webster Surprises Fans by Defeating Packo—Large Crowd at Opening. ‘‘Hail. Ilail, the Gang's All Here,” melodiously tooted by the 11th Infantry Band, fittingly symbolized the opening show of the Ft. Harrison outdoor boxing season Tuesday night in the post’s newly remodeled and, commodious “punch bowl." [ The new seating arrangements and the comforts installed for convenience of the 3,000 patrons made a big ! hit with tho customers. Tho Times’ decisions on the five j bouts follow; A1 Webster defeated Joe Packo In ten rounds. A1 Wolgast and Tony La Rose fought a ten round-draw. Ray Dodd defeated Vic Ross In six rounds. Red Roberts knocked out Lloyd Ernst In two rounds Osc-nr Koff knocked out Soldier Fields in two rounds The final bout on the card, between A1 Webster of Billings, Mont., and Joe Packo of Toledo, provided, a surprise, and the fans seemed to I get a big kick out of the affair. Wel> j ster came to the fort practically un- | known, but the scrap was not a minj ute old before the ringworms had : indorsed him unanimously and were ; whooping it up for him. Outweighed 15 pounds by the sturdy Toledo veteran, the tough young- ; ster from the cow country was eni tireiy too fast and shifty for Joe. The ten-round semi-windup was an even affair. A1 Wolgast displayed lots of talent at infighting, but that seemed * ■> nil he knew. As he came in he .iok" enough punches to offset his close-up efforts. Ray Dodd and Vic Ross in a sixround go, started out like a house afire, but Ross could not stand the fast pace. Dodd floored Ross in the first and second sessions. Red Roberts wholly outclassed Lloyd Ernst, and the Bluffton boy passed | out in the second inning. Soldier Fields, after taking a good lead over Oscar Koff, whom he put down in the first round, got overconfident and. in the second inning, coming in “wide open” caught a thump on the jaw and lost.
