Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, May 30 —lt begins to look as If the automobile has come to stay, after all. At any rate, they are going to hold the 500-mUe race out In Indianapolis today as usual, and Mr. Stephen Jerome O’Hannagan, who does the official blurblng for the event, writes thit there will be more than 150,000 people In attendance. This Is autte s wad of DooDie. taking them from left to right, and. as I have written before. It is more people by far than rou wig see gathered In one place for any other sports competition In this country, and this In s’-'tte of the fget that automobile raeng has no general appeal. The races both a speed test and a clinic In the sense that many mechanical Innovations are tried out on the track, tnd later these Innovations. If proved sound, are made a nart of the car vou drive over the public highways. This being so. a large part of the vast crowd Is made up of trades people, but Mr. O’Hannagdfn assures me that most of the customers are owners of private cars *nd amateur speed enthusiasts, many of whom have been going to the 500-mile race since Its Inception. u tt a THEY have been putting on this race since 1911 and it appears to be as popular now as it was back in the days when the gas buggies were village eye-poppers, and only the president of the local bank and the mayor of the town rated high enough, socially and financially, tc own one. Ray Harroun. driving a Marmon. won the first race, averaging 74.59 miles to the hour, snd that was considered hitting the high spots. What a long time ago that was! Teddy Roosevelt was swinging the big stick. Cv Young was • a winning pitcher. Jim Jeffries was trying to explain that knockout In Reno. Jerry Travers was th# Bobbv Jones of golf. The next year the record was beaten bv Da a a son In a National, whizzing around the two and a half mile track in 78.7 miles rn hour. The experts agreed It would be p long time before anybody beat that recc.rd. But two years later Thomas In a De’.p.ge boosted the record to better than £2 miles. Tills was the race, bv the way. that .*av. old Barney Oldfield break Into the tri. money for the first time. He was fifth. Eddie Rlckenbacker. " a young driver of o romise” finished tenth. A few }cp: s later Rlckenbacker was fated to be- . come the most famous of all the American cv if.tors In Prance, and today the same ’ Rkkenbacker operates the track. ana fy'HE speed has improved coni- stantly, logically keeping pace wil l the mechanical refinements. Tho first driver to force a car around the track faster' than 100 miles an hour was Peter De Paolo. This was in 1925. The exact time was 101.13. He needed 4 hours 36 minutes to complete the race. Harrcun, winner of the first race, took 6 hours 42 seconds. The fastest mile ever driven over the track Is credited to Leon Durav. who averr god 124 miles an hour two years ago. But it was not made in the race proper. Durav hit this clip In a qualifying heat. They sav It was the finest exhlbiton of po'rd driving ever seen on any track. And . vet Durav, with all his skill, wasn’t able to win the race. It went to a young unknown. Louis Mever. This seems to be strictly a race for young bloods, with flaming inpulses. Few of the veterans win anv more. Os course this mav be due to the fact that not many or the drivers live to be veterans. The mortuary toll or the 500 Is quite high, although Harroun. the first winner. Is stiff up and around. a a a INTEREST in this year’s race centers on the possibility of Billy Arnold, another young driver, repeating his triumph of last May. Only one man ever has won the 500 twice. That man was Tommy Milton, winner in ’2l and ’23. Milton won In spite of the fact that he was blind In one eve. and partly blind in the other. Mr. O’Hannagan. Incidentally, has written an Interesting story about Milton In the current Issue of the Cosmopolitan. "In all the years I have been watching automobile racing" he writes, “Milton looms as the outstanding figure. Joe Bovcr and Frank Lockhart were morel spectacular Jimmy Murphv was more natural at the wheel. But Milton was noted not only for his prowess In handling speeding cars, but for the execution of his engineering principles: his strategy In competition and his business sagacity. tt # tt “TT was strange that Milton with 1 his optical disadvantage was able to outwit examining doctors for years. I knew him many years before I found out about it. During his racing career Milton was very conscious of his optical shortcoming. He used to memorize the eye charts before going into the examinations. He could read them backward, top to bottom or in circles from memory." tt tt Milton was the world speed ’clng from 1920. when he flashed over the straightaway course at Daytona Beach at the then amazing speed of 156.04 miles an hour, until his retirement in 1926. "Milton’s record was broken in 1927. A record of 245 miles an hour recently was set by Captain Malcolm Campbell, an Englishman."

Mrs. Lamkin was a member of the flyst class of young women who received Times free lessons last winter from Dick Nelson and Roy Smith in the Board of Trade golf academy. She wrote a winning essay, took her half dozen lessons that gave her the idea and then went out and worked at it. Some of the other voung women in the classes have indicated taking part in the next city event which probably will mean many more new faces in that organization. a a a We have hoard much discussion about the new golf ball, and several players have told us they still are seeking to buy all the cld balls they can get. Playing golf according to the rules, means more than counting the strokes taken and the penalties incurred. It means to use the equipment prescribed by the Western or the United States Golf Associations. The U. S. G. A. has set out the new sized ball as the official ball and that ball must be used in all tournaments. Local clubs are taking the opportunity now and others will follow shortly of setting out that the new ball must be used in all club tournaments as well as in championships. There are arguments for the new ball just as there are against it, and the average golfer finds his score just about the same, we have learned. a r a Highland women held guest dav Friday with a tournout of thirty-two plavcrs.

Ray Fitzgerald, making his first appearance at Washington park, struck out twice and Weiland registered four other outs with his lefthanded flipper. Hits were nine for the Indians and eight for Louisville. Riddle collected three hits for the Hoosiers, including a double, and Emmett McCann poled a triple and double. A double by Herman was the lone extra base smack compiled by Louisville.
