Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, May 20.—The next time Mr. Edison is inspired to contrive one of those quaint questionnaires which seem indigenous to life In the oranges, I hope he Includes this one in the list: 18-B—"What sports event annually attracts the biggest crowd in America?” For I have a notion that not many of the bright little boys and girls will be able to rate A plus in their answers. It so happens that the one sports event in this country that annually outdraws all other events at the gate is one of restricted appeal and limited general popularity. * , a u I refer to the 500-mile automobile race at In&ianapoUs. Year In and year out alone the byway* of iport I bear lea* chatter about the 500-mile rate than any other fixture on the American snort* calendar. Indeed It ia not until early In May when 1 get a sheaf of dope from Mr. Stephen Jerome O’Hannacan. the house publicity man. that I am eren aware that there are any per*ons left who *UII go In for automobile racinr- And yet this event lured 100.000 paid admissions through the rates last May. a a a Mr. O’Hannacan explains ‘hat the 500mile race is what you might call the world series of the automotive Industry and that It carries a very definite and enduring two-edged appeal equally interesting to the trade and the private owner ol highpowered cars. "This race not only attracts representatives of the trade from all parts of the eountrv. but individual speed enthusiasts from coast to coast come out to see it. say* Mr. O'Hannagan. who should know what he Is talking about. , # AS a spectacle, the race is both an eye-popper and a yawn. After the first hundred miles, the picture becomes quite monotonous. The early illusion of neck-breaking speed becomes commonplace. All that is left to stimulate the interest of the non-technical and average spectator is the possibility of a smashup. I used to have the thought that it was this morbid interest which attracted the vast throng, but Mr. O'Hannagan' assures me I am mistaken.

The statistic* of the race would seem to bear him out. There have been few fatalities and not a creat many casualties. “If wo depended on accidents for our crowds, we would have to furnish more than we do.” says Mr. O'Hannaean. and not without a vestige of convincing logic. a a a Most of the drivers who concentrate on the 500-mile race manage to escape serious mishaps. The major percentage of fata ittes occur on the smaller dirt tracks around the country. Ray Harroun. who won the first 500-mile race, is still alive, and though he no longer drives, he is usually to be found on the ground on the day of the race. n n n ONLY one driver has succeeded in winning the race as often as twice. He is Tommy Milton, a consulting engineer with a national automobile agency. Milton scored his triumphs under an extraordinary handicap. In a competitive test which demands the sharpest of vision at all times, Milton twice outdistanced roaring fields of speed with one eye. nun Attesting to the gradual development In motor power and driving gjclll. the speed record for the race has advanced from 75 to 101. IS miles an hour, an upward trend of .better than 35 miles to the hour. The present record was set in 1925 by Peter De Paolo and it is pretty fast going. considering the frailities of the human body, the time that must be deducted for refueling and changing tires and the traffic which prevails on the course at the start with some thirty cars battling for first positton and the open sp- ?es. mum fastest mile ever driven over A the speedway course is credited to Leon Duray. But it was not made in the race proper; it was made in the preliminary speed tests by which the cars qualify for entrance and position. Duray looped the track with its four quarter turns at a gait of 124 miles an hour in 1928. an a Mr. O'Hannagan teUs me this was the most perfect exhibition of driving he has ever seen on the Indianapolis track. “He hit the speed grooves with the accuracy of a locomotive's wheel flanges contacting rails. He wasn't a quarter ol an inch off his route at any fraction of a second.” a a a BUT WHILE THIS WAS SUBSTANTIAL PROOF THAT DURAY HAD A GREAT CAR AND WAS A GREAT DRIVED. IT DID NOT NECESSARILY FOLLOW THAT HE WAS TO WIN. ULTIMATELY THE RACE WENT TO A YOUNGSTER. HITHERTO UNKNOWN IN BIG TIME RACING CIRCLES. LOUIS MEYER.

Ready for Retirement Three Years Ago, Rice Now Tops All Hitters

He was ill during most of the season and left for California determined to quit the game. “Don’t send me a contract,” he told Owner Clark Griffith. “I don’t think I’ll come back, but if I change my mind I’ll report and sign my contract at training camp.” Today Rice is leading both big leagues in hitting with an average of .416 and is playing some of the

BY MARK H. KNIGHT United Press Staff Correspondent There’s a clever youngster and a wise, veteran at the Indianapolis Speedway this year, than whom no two are better known in racing circles, who have come to the same conclusion relative to the two-man, big car, new departure that Friday will get its first test since 1923. "Twelve days ago I felt it would be a flop,” said Louie Meyer, who, in only two years of racing, stands at the top of modern drivers. “These cars don’t have the speed the small ones had, and I though it

By sheer nerve and gameness Jack won the crowd to him.

by his backers to have a royal chance of winning in the field of twenty-three none-too-impressive colts which have accepted the issue. Scratches between now and Wednesday may reduce the field to about twenty. The Scout is held at 33 to 1 in the advance betting, although his recent victory in the mile and a quarter Newmarket stakes was sufficiently impressive to win him numerous backers. The favorite, Diolite, is owned by Sir Hugo Hirst, the financier. His odds are 4 to 1. The Scout II was bred at the Belair stud in Maryland, son of Sir Gallahad LEI. The same stallion sired Gallant Fox, winner of the Kentucky Derby and Preakness. If The Scout takes the Derby, Woodward will have achieved a remarkable place in international racing, for never before has an owner won the Kentucky and English Derbies, not to mention the Preakness and the fact that Woodward has an excellent chance of winning the rich Belmont stakes with Gallant Fox.

Finally a dentist found he had four bad teeth which were extracted and Rice built his average back to .297. Rice, whose given name is Edgar Charles, received his nickname Sam When he joined the Petersburg (Va.) team as a pitcher in 1914 after that club bought his release from the Navy.

But they were not dependable. “Just as you would go to pass some driver on a curve your wheels would lose traction arid whirl in the air, and you didn’t know what was going to happen.

These big boys won’t get up and go with the others, but they hang onto the bricks, and when you want to maneuver in the thick of it you know what to depend upon.” Meyer admitted that he doesn’t expect any new records, but he does expect as good a race as there ever has been, with perhaps as many as fifteen finishers. Fourteen machines finished in 1919. and that is the record. < ' “There are fifteen good cars on that track this year,” Meyer said. “They probably won’t all finish, but they are all dangerous contenders, and I look for more durability than ever before. “These cars ride easier, drive easier, and will keep up the pace with a lot less trouble than these of the past two years, or I miss my guess.”

Cook Puts O ver Win on Points Australian Hands Wiggins Another Defeat; Other Cadle Results. Entering the arena well-condi-tioned and with a willingness to mix matters, George Cook, Australian heavyweight, now managed by Billy Ames, New England fistic handler, stepped out after Chuck Wiggins at Cadle tabernacle Wednesday night, forced the issue all the way and finished the ten rounds out in front on points in a decisive manner. It was a bad evening for the Wiggins followers for the veteran Hoosier mauler spent most of his time clinching and endeavoring to tie up Cook. Not much damage resulted though Chuck got slapped about quite freely. The home glove artist was short of wind, apparently, and failed to stage his usual flourishes when placed in a bad spot. It was the second victory scored over Wiggins by Cook in recent months. Cook started picking up points in the third session and kept adding to his score as the bout advanced. In two other heavyweight scraps Chuck Ewing defeated Billy Rhodes in six rounds and Billy Meyers knocked out Pat Irish in the third stanza. Ewing had Rhodes on the floor frequently and the latter was lucky to last. Paul Parmer knocked out Earl Baker in the third round, Tiger Purvis shaded Jim O’Daffer in six sessions and Jimmy Reynolds won over Frankie Carbone in four. Pivot A.
