Argus Gets Into ‘700° Pin Parade
Indianapolis League Bowlers Set Hot Pace; Ayres Crew High.
‘Frank “Argus today joined the parade of local “700” bowlers as the result of his 718 in the Indianapolis League last night at the Pritchett’ Alleys, His total came from games of 278, 214 and 226. Jack Hunt hung up a 688 in the same circuit for second place. He opened with 247 and then fell to games of 216 and 225. * Hunt paced his team, L. S. Ayres,
to a brilliant 3268 score and endrivers and mechanics spend their
abled them to overshadow another ‘fine score, 3016, set up by the Chaser crew. On the Ayres quintet, Charles Cray gave Hunt his chief support with a 664 on games of 187, 191 and 286.
Cook in Fifth Spot
However, third spot in solo honors went to Joe Fulton, who shot 666, also in the Indianapolis loop. The Indianapolis League almost dominated the scores of 600 or better. John Cook of the Interclub loop interrupted briefly the string of Indianapolis bowlers when he broke! into fifth place behind Cray with his 664. Falls City Beer registered the second highest team tally with its 3093 on games of 1006, 1028 and 1059. Fulton rolled with the beer five. For the same ouifit Dan Abbott had 647; Rav Roberson took 614, and Carl Hardin rolled 605. Les Ahearn, the other member of the team was a bit off and rolled below his usual form to take 561. Rufli made a strong try for a 600, but her first two games of 161 and 182 ruined her chances. She anchored her evening’s competition with 248. Her team, the Marott Shoe Store crew, blasted out 2579 on scores of 738, 827 and 1014 ,

It is the big brother of the 91 cubic inch model which Mauri Rose drove last year and has been built to generate between 350 to 360-horsepower, which is at least 50-horsepower more than ever has been contained in a car raced here. Swung low with only a four and a half inch clearance off the ground, this car has a 183 cubic inch piston ~ displacement, a straight-eight motor, two superchargers and two carburetors. The two superchargers drive off the end, a minor engineering novelty. The front wheels are of the independent suspension type on a torsion base, but it has an axle in the back.

Ted Horn is scheduled to take this mount. Cummings’ death here several weeks ago in a traffic accident has cast gloom over this garage and his old teammates and competitors. “I was just leaving for Europe when I heard about it,” Henning said. “Bill was with this team seven years. At first -I couldn't believe he had been in a wreck. “He was such a light-hearted guy. When he first came with us he was as wild as a March wind and never felt right unless he led the field from the start and kept pumping his car around until it gave out. “In those days I used to tell him jonce in a while to take it easier and

maybe he would stay in the race longer. Since he won the 500-mile grind in 1934 he had developed into a pace driver. That is the kind that estimates the speed it will take to win and goes on that schedule. In this business they are the hardest to beat.” Henning was a riding mechanic back in 1921 and 1922 and served with Pete DePaolo and Joe Thomas and other stars, some of whom have been dead for 15 years-or more. He quit when he got to the place where skidding around a turn suddenly didn’t seem like fun but as being awfully dangerous. That feeling comes to most of them in racing who don’t die with the noise of screaming tires and a pounding motor ringing in their ears. Henning said that sometimes a great driver will go out for a spin

back he is changed and nervous and jumpy. That sensation of having the back end of your car slip out sideways as you roar through a curve, which is exhilerating to most drivers, suddenly becomes sickening to others. “Not all the older drivers are like that though,” he said. “Some of them who have been around for a generation still would skip meals to get out on a track and burn rubber.” Henning’s description of a ride in a race car of the early 1920's makes it seem about as comfortable as being a passenger on a runaway, flat wheeled box car on a branch mountain railroad. “It will still loosen your teeth up to go 500 miles in the cars we have now, but they ride and handle much

clared. “That is one reason why drivers can keep increasing speeds each year.” To watch drivers prepare for a race by driving countless miles in “shake down” tests makes you wonder why they don't wear their cars out before the race begins. Henning said sometimes they do. “We only get one .chance a year at the big money, and that makes you nervous if you stop to think about it,” he said. “That is what makes ‘some of them tear down their cars once too often and drive them too far before the race.” He and Bob Jackson don’t exhibit this kind of jumpiness as they ready the cars of the Boyle team. Henning has been at this sort of thing too long now. This year’s race is going to seem odd to him though, “because Bill won’t be in it.”
