As USUAL, RACE IS WIDE OPEN

PICKING SHAW, CUMMINGS, MAYS

IT looks like a wide open race again in the 500-mile

or-

row. . . . The talent is outstanding all up and down\the line, daring, seasoned drivers and durable cars with lievable speed. . . . It’s the twenty-fourth annual and the crowd record is expected to be smashed. . . . So go early and avoid getting tied up in a traffic jam. . . . It’s an interesting sight when the crowd streams in, when the huge band marches and the gas chargers are being pushed out on

- the track.

It’s difficult sharpshooting to pick a winner out of a ‘field of 33 owing to the fact so many of the pilots belong the top flight class. . . . But there's no harm in trying. From this corner it looks like Wilbur Shaw to come in first. . . . He was second last year. . . . Bill Cummings is the choice for second and Rex Mays for third. . . . For fourth we select Lou Meyer. . . . And Doc McKenzie fifth. . . . This is an opinion and not an invitation to bet.

NDIANAPOLIS "will be in the headlines everywhere tomorrow as news

of the progress of the race is flas

hed around the world. . . . The event holds the same high spot in the auto world as the Kentucky Derby | in the horse field, and draws twice the attendance. .

. Many fans from

a distance have been en route here for a week and the pick-up in traffic

started in the downtown district in a big way today. . Every large hotel will be occupied by 500-mile addicts tonight and

speed talk will bounce off the hard to match in enthusiasm every classic at the local roarin

walls. ng thousands of persons have taken in

. A confirmed auto race goer is

. And it is more or less of a pic-

nic out there on Face fay=if y u “don t have to work on it.

”» 2 ” HE chesty Giants will have a hard time explaining what happened yesterday . . . The muchabused Boston Bees took the New Yorkers in both ends of a doubleheader . . . The Beantowners know what it’s all about this year and are leading the second division . . . They only won 38 games last year and have annexed 19 already during the new campaign.

= 2 ” Pat Fraley, the wrestler who paraded as Black Secret over a stretch of weeks, probably will discard the disguise forever now that the Black Legion is in the headlines . . . Anyway, according to Fraley, it’s rather suffocating to work under the lights while hooded.

2 2 HEY don't call Missouri . . . At the Riverside horse track outside of Kansas City a person “invests” $2 or $5 (or more) in a certain horse in a certain race. « . . If his horse comes in a dividend is declared and the “investor” gets a certain return . . . Betting on horse races in Missouri isn’t legalized, hence the “contribution system,” which is all right with the sheriff . . . Something on the order of playing the stock market? » ” = The pressure is on big league scouts . . . In the Twin Cities recently, Clarence Rowland, Chicago Cubs’ ivery . hunter, watched the first half of a game at the St. Paul park and then hopped over to

eels go view:the second part of the ga there . . . And on the morning of the same day he took

in a Big Ten game at the University of Minnesota. ;

Final Adjustments Made on 33 Cars as 500-Mile Grind Approaches.

cific coast comet has burned a hole in two pistons during gasoline tests. The latest mishap occurred yesi terday morning, but the tiny blue speedster which will shoot for lap prizes at the start of the race was repaired yesterday afternoon. The ominous gasoline limitation change this year exacted its toll in the pre-race trials although only three favorites are missing from the starting field. Many of the motors were scorched in practices when drivers attempted to “wean” the ¢arburetors enough to stay within the assigned auota of fuel and still | maintain a maximum speed. Lou Meyer, the only driver to win

two 500-mile races without a relief

pilot, cracked two cylinder blocks experiments. Billy Winn; fifth national ranking driver, en-

Charley Allen, mechanic for the Belanger Special which will be guided by Jimmy Snyder, is shown above as he continued to groom ¥

countered similar difficulties and many other drivers were forced to

| replace parts when motors became

overheated. The three favorites who were left on the outside are Tony Gulotta, Russ Snowberger and Dave Evans. Gulotta is one of six pilots who crashed or ended in minor spins on the curves during early workouts. He made an unsuccessful attempt to qualify the rebuilt Pirrung Special yesterday. The two Dodge semi-stock cars entered by Joe Thorne, young Tucson (Ariz) sportsman never reached the starting line for qualifications. Russ Snowberger, veteran chauffeur, crashed in one of the entries Wednesday morning. The other, which was to have been steered by Dave Evans of Detroit, was not functioning properly when the deadline approached yesterday. In addition to Gulotta, five drivers reported for qualification trials yesterday. Three registered speeds of 111 miles an hour or better to gain positions in the back line, and two others fell short and were named as alternate starters along with Overton Snell and Roy Painter,

This tobacco leaf gives a cigar the barsb, bitter, bitey taste you men bave complained about for years. It's the cause of millions of cigars being thrown away balf smoked.

The same tobacco leaf . . . but entirely di ¥ ferent results in a csgar. Why?

The answer is as simple as A-B-C. All cigar tobacco—even the finest— contains certain bitter oils and harsh elements. If left in, you get a harsh, bitter cigar that bites your tongue. If taken out, you get a smooth, mellow cigar that’s a pleasure to smoke. Ordinary curing methods don’t—and can’t —take out these harsh, bitter elements from the tobacco. Other methods actually damage

— or destroy — the pure tobacco flavor.

THE SECRET OF PHILLIES ‘Bayuk invented a process that removes these harsh, bitter elements—and also brings out the real flavor of the tobacco.

This process — covered by patent protection ' —is what : gives PHILLIES that mild, smooth, real tobacco taste from end to end. It’s the reason more men smoke PHILLIES than any other cigar in America.
