HE newest Mr. Speed is Floyd Roberts, big, strong and courageous. . . . The veteran of the Roaring Way came into his own yesterday and outraced a fast field in the 26th “500.” . .. It was his first victory in the classic and he earned it by having his car ready early and by proving that the pole position is somthing to shoot at after all. . . He's the Lawrin of the Gasoline Derby and won the big motor event by a wide margin. The Californian joins the long list of illustrious Famous Firsts. . . . Counting the Corum-Boyer co-win-ners of 1924 as one there have 23 intrepid pilots crowned down through the years. ... Lou Meyer won three times and Tommy Milton finished in front on two occasions. . . And neither won in consecutive years. It all goes to prove the long road is hard to beat and Floyd Roberts, the new king of the world’s biggest auto race, had to show genuine superiority to take down the rich prize yesterday. 2 8 5 o u o OBERTS’ car was entered by Lou Moore, a former 500miler who barreled to second place in 1928 and third in 1934. ... Lou was Floyd's head man in the pit and chief adviser before and during the race. ... Last year’s event was the more exciting in the finishing miles, but all the credit in the world belongs in Roberts’ lap. The 1938 victor set a new record for the “500” and still was blistering the bricks during the final laps. . . . Wilbur Shaw, 1937 winner, finished second for the third time and beat his last year’s average. Chet Miller, third yesterday, also beat Shaw's 1937 time, which gives vou an idea of what was demanded of Roberts to snatch the laurels.

The 1938 Victory Dinner is to be held tonight and cash and accessory prizes will be distributed to the drivers who finished in the money. . . . The boys then will scatter out to compete in other races, but always with their minds on the next “500.” The attendance at the Speedway vesterday took a drop over the thrones of other vears. according to the estimates of casual observers. : All big sports events nowadays are feeling the pinch in the general admission bracket, and the “500” apparently felt it in the same place .

Floyd Roberts, who has been hot- | footing race cars around the nation's tracks for 22 years, plans to keep | right on doi > his share tonight of the $38,000 first | prize money for the 500-mile race. “I'll be back next year,” he said.

Tonight, the men who make the | Speedway show will collect their prizes at the Chamber of Commerce Victory Dinner at the Indianapolis Athletic Club. Of the estimated $38,000 he will collect, Roberts will receive approximately one-third from Lou Moore, former driver who built and owns the winning car.

Gardner Is Fifth

Chet Gardner, averaging 110.31, climbed into fifth place, and six other cars still were running when the race was called off due to rain. A 12th car, with George Bailey at the wheel, was credited with finishing. On his 166th lap, Bailey's car went dead on the north turn. Onehalf hour after the track had been cleared, Bailey called officials to ask “how long will it be before someone comes down here and hauls my car in?” In addition to the usual thrills of spins and spills, yesterday's 135,000 spectators witnessed some of greatest driving skill in history.

From far back in the field, Kelly roared into ninth place at 100 miles. Another 100 “miles and he was in second place, not far behind the fiying leader, His daring driving won the crowd. But Kelly's buggy didn't have the stamina of its driver and the 1935 champion’s bid was ended. From then on, the race settled down and there wasn’t much doubt about who was going to win.
