MOTHER, SCHOOL, TOWN PROUD OF RACE WINNER Mrs. Souders Listened in on Radio as Son Won Out in Annual Speedway Grind.

Bu Times Svecial LAFAYETTE, Ind., May 31. Everybody in Lafayette knows George Raymond Senders today—although the acquaintanceship may not be intimate. So the whole town and her thousands of student residents, students at Purdue University, today were loud in their praise of the youthful speed demon who yesterday won the Indianapolis Speedway classic and became the King of Speed. "I certainly am proud of my boy and rejoice with him in his success," were the words of Mrs. Cora 51. Souders, George's mother when she learned that her son had fought, his way to the front and set. a pace that veteran drivers could not overcome. Knew He’d Win “I’m not familiar with racing, and while George has raced considerably, this was his first really big race. I didn't believe he could win, but when I saw that he was steadily fighting his way to the lead I rather felt that he would win. I certainly am proud of him,” the mother said. It was at Battle Ground, where George was born twenty-six years ago, that Mrs. Souders followed the race by radio. She was spending the day with relatives while her boy went out in quest of fame and fortune in the greatest motor speed event in the world. Familiar only with dirt track driving, in which he had become en ace, he revealed that, he could drive the dangerous brick courses equally as well as he could wheel a racing car around dirt tracks. President Edward C. Elliott of Purdue University, in behalf of himself and the student. body, praised Souders’ gallant drive. “He made a rare display of an indomitable will to win. Purdue congratulates him and the builder of his car. TVe are proud of Souders' ability, endurance and courage,” Elliott said. Went to Jeff High And Lafayette and Purdua backs Souders to the man. Souders, after graduating from Jefferson High School, at entered Purdue. He quit college after two years in mechanical engineering and went to work in a garage. He became interested in speed and finally found an opportunity to race on dirt courses. His ability attracted attention and finally brought him a contract with "Big Bill" White, of Los Angeles, to drive one of his cars In America’s premier racing events. He was driving White’s Duesenberg Special

when he got the winner's flag at Speedway, Monday. Generous Those who know Souders tell of an incident at Greenup, 111., where he drove his first big dirt track race. He worked tirelessly to place his car in condition and completed the task just in time to qaulify for the races. He won the pole position. Then he won all the laurels of the day, winning the ten, fifteen and twenty-five mile events. His win-* nings were large, but he ordered them given to the mother of a driver who had been killed in the ten-mile race—a driver upon whoso earnings the mother’s support depended. Souders, the Hoosier, drove the entire 600 miles, Monday, declining relief despite the fart that Frank Lockhart, winner of last year's classic, offered to drive for him while Souders rested. GOV.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

‘SOME GIRL,’ SAYS SOUDERSOF AUTO (Continued From Page 1) a race driver occurred five years ago in Lafayette. He finished second in his first race. He Was Right “I knew then,” he said, "that I'd gotten into the right game." He started out driving a Chevrolet, sometimes having good luck and sometimes bad, in various dirt track races over the country. He doesn't remember the first race he ever won. He bent over the rear of the car, a wave of brown hair falling over his eyes. “That’s the thing right -there that shook me up so much," he said, pointing a broken shock absorber on the left rear of the car. “Must've driven 300 miles with that thing broken." On the other side of the car a broken rear spring, which snapped during the last 100 miles stood out. He drove the last 100 miles with practically nothing to absorb the rear end shocks, a trying performance. “A Good Thing” Souders drove in Abilene, Texas, races last September. "That's where I did a good thing,” he said. - "Made connections thpre with "Bill" White—William White, owner of No. 32. and sportsman' of Hollywood, Cal. Bill needed a driver , —Pete Do Paolo had to leave —so he asked me If ltd drive. Been with him ever since and glad of it. “Where - d T expect to finish when I entered yesterday? Well, that’s pretty hard. *1 knew there were several cars in the race faster than mine. But I knew mine was as sturdy as any of them. I wouldn't have sold my chances, but of course one can't figure on wanning always , 'fa o many thinks likely to happen.” Happiest Alive Asked how he felt when he saw the checkered flag wave in front of him, he said: "I guess I was just about the happiest person alive Did I tell my mother right away? I'll say I did She was coming up for the race, but it was cloudy and rainy, forcing her to call the trip off.” j "Well, how does it feel to suddenly jtep into a fortune?” “I'm telling you T didn't know | there was so much money hanging around. About' $25,000 in prize money, and then there's spark plugs, tires, gas and everything. Guess I'm really gonna have some dough.” Then to Abilene Souders will go from here to race at Detroit and probably will go from there to Abilene, where he is scheduled to race on the same day that the Salem Speedway race is held In Salem, N. H. "I'd like to drive at Salem.” *he said, “but those people in Abilene were good to me when I hadn't ever done anything much and I can t disappoint them now." Souders will receive bis winnings with other drivers tonight at the lap prize dinner at the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce. All race drivers and lap prize donators have | been invited. Theodore Myers, Speedway secretary, will present awards. Lion's Share Frank Lockhart, 1926 winner, who led for eighty-ape laps and again jumped into the front place between the ninetieth and 119th laps, when he was forced out with a broken wheel, will receive the lion's share of the lap money. He Will receive SII,OOO, SIOO for each of the 110 laps he led. Second heaviest lap winner will be Souders, who gets $5,100. Boh McDonogh will got $3,000 for being in the lead from the 120th to 149th laps. "Dutch” Bauman, local youth, gets S9OO for being in front from the eighty-second to ninetieth laps.

TWO RACERS NOT OUT OF DANGER (Continued From Page 1) ward Into the track, locked a wheel with a wheel of Cliff Bergere's car and then both KohJert and his car turned what would be best described as hand springs over and over diagonally down the banked track. Some spectators declare that another car actually passed under Kohlert's car while it was in the air on one of its crazy bounds. There was some indication that Kohlert was trying to wriggle free of his tumbling car as he and it toppled over, but the car finally struck him. He lay stretched out, face downward on the track with other racers spinning past. Guards hovered at the rail, making no move to rescue the unconscious ‘driver. Finally a man Tn civilian clothes dashed out on the track and with considerable difficulty dragged Kohlert to the rail. The guards had trouble getting him to the ambulance because a bog at the inside of the track at this point made motor approach impossible. Kohlert's helmet lay on the track for several minutes. Then a car

I wheel picked it up and tossed It. Another car and another buffeted it about. Finally a wheel picked It up I and ljurled It off the track. Batten's Feat ! Norman Batten accomplished one | of the most marvelous feats of drivi ing Speedway fans have seen. His car caught fire as he entered ! the stretch. Track authorities said 1 that the car's condition indicated a l small stone had been picked up by ; a wheel and hurled through the gasoline tank. With flames sweeping past him for a distance of twenty- | five feet or more behind the speeding car Batten braked as well as he could. As the pilot neared the judges' stand the heat became too intense and he stood up, guiding bis car ..oward the pits. Opposite the pits he took a desperate lunge head first to the track. His car coasted down the track a short distance and guards and firemen put out the fire with extinguishers while Batten was rushed to the hospital. Relatives at Bedside Dr. H. R.
