Meyer, Rose and Moore Gain Places in Lineup for 500-Mile Classic.

BY HARRISON MILLER

The gate closes today at 4 on speed qualifications at the Speedway, at which time the 33 fastest cars originally nominated for the gasoline derby- will be named in the starting lineup for the twenty-fourth annual 500-mile Memorial Day race classic. Speedway officials will open the track from 1 to 4 today for the laggards and unfortunates who have not passed the requirements. After 4 today the oval will be closed to traffic while final inspections are conducted and the annual bath is given to the brick surface.

Since the official qualification periods opened on May 16, all: but one position have been filled as the zero hour approaches, and 10 other chargers remain on the outside with possibilities of dislodging those who have passed speed and acceleration tests successfully. The starting roster was boosted to 32 yesterday when three pilots who have won their spurs in previous years by placing high in the money drove their mounts over the 23-mile course at a high rate of speed and finished within the assigned quota of gasoline. The trio, all listed among the pre-race favorites, are Lou Meyer, the only man to win two races without the aid of relief; Mauri Rose, who lost the 1934 event by 27 seconds in a dramatic finish, and Lou Moore, who shares with Harry Hartz the distinction of being a consistent runner-up. Meyer, bobbed back into the field as a serious challenger by eluding his pre-race jinx long enough to turn in an impressive performance yesterday. Not only did the California veteran push his Ring Free Special over the bricks for a 114.171 (Turn to Page 26) :
