500-MILE DISPUTE LEFT TO CONTEST BOARD

Protest by Duray on Behalf of Rose Holds Up First and Second Place Prize Awards Stewards of Speed Classic Turn Down Complaint Against Victorious Cummings and Owner of Runner-Up Car Appeals Decision to A. A. A. BY WILLIAM H. M’GAUGHEY Cutting Into the SIOO,OOO pie for the 500-mile prize winners at the Indianapolis Athletic Club last night, T. E. (Pop) Myers, treasurer of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, left two of the juiciest slices on the plate. Because of the dispute over first and second money, “Wild Bill” Cummings and Mauri Rose must wait until the contest board of the A. A. A. decides the squabble in Washington, some time in July. For the first time in the history of racing at the local oval, the checks and trophy awards which go to the winner of the 500-mile con-

test will be held in escrow. Leon Duray, fiery owner of the Duray Special which Mauri Rose flashed across the finish line Wednesday afternoon a few seconds behind Bill Cummings, early last night appealed to the American Automobile Association contest board to decide the victor in the race. Says Cummings Fudged Duray asserts that Cummings, contrary to rules, had gained threequarters of a lap on Rose while the yellow danger flag was displayed early in the race. In a decision late yesterday afternoon, the stewards of the 500-mile classic refused to allow Duray’s protest and the race car owner went over the head of the body to appeal to the contest board. Because of the appealed case, T. E. Myers declared that the first and second prize awards will be held up in accordance with Duray’s request. The first place award includes the $20,000 Speedway prize to the winner of the race, and lap prizes and accessory money amounting to $29,075. Second place money amounts to $14,250. Haustein Is Honored At the banquet last night, Gene Haustein of Detroit was given the sportsmanship award, a Julian C. Walk split-second watch. When Haustein’s car crashed on the northwest turn, the driver held his racer on the banked turn to prevent it from coasting into the paths of other pilots. The committee adjudged this act the outstanding incident of sportsmanship in the entire contest. Checks were presented to thirtyone of the drivers that participated in the twenty-second annual event here Wednesday. Lou Moore received $6,625 for finishing third. Five thousand dollars of this sum came from the
