Winners Get Rewards at Annual Fete

Wilbur Draws $35,075 as His Share; Sportsmanship Honor to Snyder.

Richer by $35,075, three trophies, a watch and a year’s meal ticket, Wilbur Shaw, Indianapolis’ pride, today was planning to build a home. : Thirty-two others, who | shared lesser amounts of the $90,000 500mile prize money were no doubt also mapping plans of some sort following the distribution of prizes at the annual Chamber of Commerce drivers’ victory dinner in the Claypool Hotel last night. More than 550 drivers, mechanics, Speedway officials, and prominent figures in the automobile world, and their wives, watched Shaw, generally considered one of the most popular winners in Speedway history, receive his reward from T. E. (Pop) Myers, Speedway general manager. Ralph Hepburn, who was nosed out of first money by 2.16 seconds, received a total of $15,937.50, while Ted Horn, third-place winner, received $6900. * Jimmy Snyder, Chicago's flying milkman, despite his early departure from the fast field. in Monday’s classic came in for a $2800 share of the money. But prouder was Jimmy of a new stap-watch presented to him for the outstanding, display of sportsmanship durin® the running of the great speed classic. ! After he had wrecked his mount on the southwest turn, Snyder, in the judgment of the committee, jeopardized his own life by standing by his car in the middle of the track and waving the onrushing cars down| into the ‘“groove” below him. He then shoved his crippled car out ofidanger. Awartls were distributed as follows: Wilbur Shaw _

OST HORIZONS JUNCTION, N. Y., June 2.—I came today to this town which doesn’t exist to talk to the imaginary man who wan't fight Max Schmeling for the world's heavyweight title in Matlison Square Garden Bowl tomorrow night. I had trouble finding him. The Chamber of Commerce of Lost Horizons Junction, which is conducted by two mediums, said - his name was not on their ouija board, gpiritualistic kenneis Where the Hound of the Baskervilles could be rented for two confederate dollars an hour. : The Hound of the Baskervilles was hot on the scent at first, but lost the trail in the River Styx. He nearly ‘lost all his fur and phosphorescent teeth, too, in a fight with the biggest dog I ever saw. Fortunately there. were a couple of ferryboat hands lounging on the bank and one of them, a chap named Charon, said he knew the way. “I've been sparring with him all week,” Charon said. ‘He lives right across the Elysian Fields there. Leave him alone, Cerehus!” This latter remark was addressed to the dog, who was about to chew the ears off the Baskerville mutt.

The next important test of autemotive racing speed will be at the depretzelized Rooseveit Speedway on Long Island, Jyly 3.

Our maximum is about 225. And despite - this marked difference in power their cars ‘are much lighter and consequently easier to handle. This bee ing so we are whipped before we start,” he said. ’ The outcome of last year's race proved this ‘to be the truth. The foreign cars dominated the race from beginning to end.
