racers to hit the starting line at close to top speed. |
The drivers shifted gears when] they got to the back stretch and the speed began to step up. Around the| north turn they came and across; the starting line running hub to hub at 100 miles an hour. The pace car pulled off to the apron and the high pitched shouts of the crowd marked the single most dramatic sight in the panorama of sports— the entire closely-packed field sweeping into the southwest turn. Field Best in History The stream of humanity, which began to trickle into the City two days ago, reached flood proportions by early morning as roads, railroads and airlanes from all compass points were crowded with persons hurrying to the speed classic. Chances for smashing of all existing speed records were greatly improved when the day dawned bright and clear and without much wind. Col. E. V. Rickenbacker, Speedway president, American Automobile Association officials and the competing drivers themselves have characterized this as “the best and fastest group of cars to race here.” Competing today were four former winners. They were Lou Meyer in the Bowes Seal Fast Special, the only three-time victor in history; Kelly Petillo in the Kay Jewelers Special, who triumphed in 1935; Wilbur Shuw in the Meserati of the Boyle team, who won in 1337, and Floyd Roberts, last year’s winner and the present American driving champion. The race team entering the vietorious car collects approximately $32,000 in prize money. Of this amount $20,000 is put up by the Speedway and the remainder by accessory manufacturers. Drivers racing in their own cars, of course, collect the whole amount, while those driving for others split on a percentage basis which varies from team to team. Roberts won last year with a 117.200 mile an hour run which completely shattered Shaw's mark of 113.58 miles an hour. When the field roared away, Jimmy Snyder held the pole position by virtue of turning in a record fourlap qualifying speed of 130.138 miles an hour. During this run Snyder aiso established an official one-lap record of 130.757 miles an hour, clearly demonstrating that this car, No. 10, is one of the fastest ever brought here. It is a Thorne Engineering Special powered with a six-cylinder supercharged motor having a 182 cubic inch piston displacement. Riding in No. 15, an identical car, was his teammate, Rex Mays, who was forced to start well back in the field because mechanical difficulties made him a late qualifier, Watch Out for Comet! Anothre speedy car was the 16cvliinder Sampson Comet Special (No. 32) being drived by Bob Swanson, while Lou Meyer and Wilbur Shaw, who shared the front row with Snyder, also are piloting a couple of the more lively jobs. Meyer's No. 45 was qualified at 130.067 miles an hour, and the| three-time winner said he was do-| ing this with ease “This car has more straightaway speed than I can use,’ Meyer said, |

The parade of the “world’s largest band” started five minutes early — at 8:55. Tootling along, the musicians moved around the track in a clock-wise movement (just opposite to the way the race drivers go) and, typically enough, they put on their best strutting just as they passed the Press Pagoda. Whether they were trying to impress the officials or the press nobody knew. At any rate, here's our plug.
“I won't be surprised the least bit if we have a speed average of 125 miles an hour for the first 200 miles.” Guess who said that? None other than Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker, one-time race driver, World War ace, president of Eastern Airlines, president of the Speedway Corp. bossman in today's show, Well, he ought to know,

ETH KLEIN, the man who stands on the bridge and waves the flags, looked a little bit dubious about things in general just before he climbed up on his perch. “I think the first 200 miles will be the toughest in all Speedway history,” he said. “The most gruelling, I mean.

As usual, the shuttle trains running to the Speedway were loaded to the gills. Would-be elbow benders found themselves horribly handicapped. That made it that much easier,

The day started out fine in more than one way. At least the working press was permitted to be the working press and the salesmen, shoe clerks, bank teliers and other members of the Fourth Estate for the day were over in the nonworking “press” section.
HERE wasn't much indication of betting. There were the customary private “favorite” wagers made in the boxes and in the stands but no extensive gambling. It's a bit hard to gamble on the race. One big sporting publication listed the odds the other day. It gave Jimmy Snyder as the favorite, the odds on him 10 to 1. Try that on your piccolo!
Nudity Bobs Up to Plague Mr. Whalen
NEW YORK, May 30 (U P) Grover Whalen once said there would be no nudity at the World's Fair, but today
he was trying hard to put the brakes on concessionaires who have been competing apparently for the privilege of running the most undraped attraction. A “control” committee of the fair has advised at least five concessionaires that fig leaves added strategically would make their shows more palatable to the fair administration, which has been getting complaints, mostly from mothers who took children to the amusement center. “Suggestions” were made by fair officials to N. T. G.’s Congress of Beauty, the Crystal Palace, the Savoy, the Cuban Village and a show known as Crystal Lassies. In addition the Crystal Palace was told to remove six large oil paintings, two or three of which dealt with nude or seminude subjects,

Senator Taft Gives Address: Thousands Parade in Washington.
WASHINGTON, May 30 (U. P.).— The nation’s memorial services for its war dead centered today in Arlington National Cemetery, where! 48,000 soldiers, sailors and marines lie buried. The capital had its first Memorial | Day parade in three years. Thou-| sands of troops representing the | three services marched behind the, Army, Navy and Marine bands dows Constitution Ave. Veterans’ organizations and auxiliaries took part. Numerous wreaths were placed on| the tomb of the Unknown Soldier in| Arlington Cemetery, beginning at 10 a. m. (Indianapolis Time), when Maj. H. H. Smith laid flowers on the marble monolith on behalf of President Roosevelt, who is in Hyde Park, N. Y. Official memorial services were] scheduled in the Arlington ampitheater shortly after noon, with Senator Taft (R., O. as the principal speaker. : Lanny Ross, the radio star, sings

The Horn and Miller cars have Ameriean-made motors, 2 Four Foreign Cars |
This time there are four foreign cars, all of Italian make, after the grand prize. The Maserati driven by Shaw and No. 31, the Alfa Romeo piloted by Babe Stapp, are among the fast cars in the field, but No. 53, the little Maserati qualified by Deacon Litz, and No. 58, an Alfa| Romeo chauffeured by Louis Tomel, were among the five slow cars that qualified at speeds of less than 120 miles an hour, | Two of the distinguishing char-! acteristics of the race again were noticeable. First, this is one of the most thoroughly photographed events in the world, For weeks thousands of pictures have been taken of the cars and the men that drive them, and today even more photographers—amateur and pro- | fessional, still and movie—were at work, Secondly, this track again was] a rallying point, a sort of national | headquarters for men of speed | whether their medium was

Francisco Sarabia, the little Mexican flier who recently established a non-stop record of 10 hours and 43 minutes between New York and Mexico City, | was a spectator. Also in the stands was Gar Wood, ! greatest American speed boat designer and pilot. These men spoke vesterday at the drivers’ meeting, and all of them waved their hand in a gesture that seems to represent almost a fraternal sign among those who live by speed and said: | “All the luck and happy days.” Other leaders in the automotive and aviation industries vpres- | ent were M.

Second to go through the gates was a caravan of 75 motorcycles from all over the country. They had formed a wedge and automobiles could not break through the barricade. After the cycles roared in, sounding like 33 racing cars during the heat of the grind, cars and trucks followed.
About one of every five vehicles entering was a truck. Many of them were moving vans carrying cots on which some of the passengers slept.

Jr, vice president, and Leonard K. Firestone, trade sales manager.
Track veterans said there had been an unprecedented amount of “building” in the infield. One man with a coupe fastened two extension ladders, each about 30 feet high, to the sides of his car and then placed bracing between them at different points. He and friends apparently were going to perch themselves at the top. Three groups of farmers with three trucks of the same kind parked them together closely then proceeded to go into the “construction” business. They built a platform over all three trucks. It was large enough for a small dance floor. They had about 40 or 50 berry crates for seats. A young couple fastened a platform atop their car and then within a half hour had erected posts to provide for a second platform, a two-tier affair.
Sam Gatti, a 33-year-old Philadelphian, was among the victims of ' sharpers who gathered outside the track. While he was listening to a musician, two women bumped him, As the women fled he found he was short $20. When he gave chase they jumped into an automobile and fled, A short time later Mrs. Margaret Southern, of 226 W. New York St., reported the theft of her car. The license plates corresponded with those on the car in which the women fled.
A man was detained after police said he attempted to sell a $3.50 ticket for $14. At least two downtown stores reported losses as a result of visits by “fast money changers.” A woman and three men who were watching her dance on W. 16th St. were arrested. Police said it was an “umbrella dance.” They confiscated the umbrella.
Out 30th St, one of the ways to the Speedway, last night all was quiet until the urchins assailed you in your car at Northwestern Ave, “Hey, buddy, I'll sell you this paper for four cents, subtract the penny Indianapolis tax, and give it to you for 3 cents.” Then they were all around you. On one corner a sign: “Get Your Speedway Tickets Here.” On another corner a gasoline station turned into headquarters for Speedway souvenirs. “Looky here, looky here, looky here, mister! A swell pennant, only 15 cents. O, come on, mister, buy a pennant!”
The Speedway was a gay white way. All the way down 16th St. were barkers of all description, trying to outdo one another in their strident calls. No one was paying much attention to them. People were too busy trying to find a place for their cars. At 8 o'clock last night there were more than 3500 cars parked around the track. Each person was assured he would be the first to get in when the gates opened this morning. The stands were bee hives, some selling checkered flags, others pop, cokes, food, eggs, cigarets, a chance on a new gun, speedway tickets, Home owners offered to tear up their lawns and new peonies just to provide parking place for the brave spirits who were going to spend the night waiting for the witching hour when the gates would swing.
Over in Speedway City, Just around a couple of corners from the track, the cars were lined up three deep. One car had a sign on it: “No Parking Here—Police Order.”
.| It was the first in line,
Police cars and motorcycles
.| screaming up and down the roads.
Here a truck had gone into the There was a flare lighted There was no one in
vention! Here's a car that's just like the ones you'll see at the race tomorrow and it's only 35 cents!”
In the infield were the usual number of persons sound asleep as starting time neared. Evidently they had come so far and waited so long that they were too tired to watch prerace events.
Five hundred mile races apparently appeal to people who ride motorcycles here this year. .There were more and louder cycles here this year.
An innovation this year was the parking of a hospital car on the Big Four siding opposite the Speedway entrance,
Seth Klein, official race starter, posed on the judges’ platform and waved all his flags an hour before the race started for the benefit of the newsreel cameramen. He rehearsed it several times. The first time they objected because he failed to follow the imaginary car with his eyes.
There seemed to be more official souvenir hawkers this year than ever, Imitation tropical sun hats had given way in favor of sort of pancake shaped Oriental-looking hats.
The salesman getting the best results at the entrance gates was the gentlemen peddling rubber seat cushions who said; “Take along a seat cushion, folks, and soften up them boards.”
Again this year some enterprising group erected a small grandstand outside the Speedway grounds on the north turn, It had a capacity crowd. Last year officials, without authority to expel the out-of-bounds spectators, blocked their view with

By ELEANOR JONES Society from the four corners of the country occupied choice boxes at the Speedway-—and the society folks came prepared to spend a long, hot day comfortably.
One of the largest parties was that to which Mrs. E. V. Rickenbacker, wife of the Speedway president, was hostess. It included five guests from Mexico City, among them Capt. Francisco Sarabia, ace Mexican aviator, and his wife; Mr. and Mrs. Luciano Kubli and Joseph A, Marchini.
Others in Mrs. Rickenbacker’s party included her sons, David and William; Mrs. Duncan Leys, New York; Mr, and Mrs. James Robb and their son, James of Detroit;
Mrs, Harley Earl, Detroit; Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Rockefeller, of New York; Mr. and Mrs. T. Lansing Ray Jr, of St. Louis; Mr and Mrs Ray= mond Burns, of New York; Mr and Mrs. John Fletcher, of Indianape olis; Stuart Chambers, of Indiane apolis, and Miss Susan Brewster, of New York,
The boxholders brought huge hampers of food, fried chicken being the preference, and large thermos bottles filled with cool ing refreshments.
The most popular attire with the women was washable dresses with short or no sleeves, and hats with large brims to keep the sun out of their eyes. Both men and women wore dark glasses and most everye one seemed to have a camera,
The men were in even less formal garb. Slack suits were the most popular, They wore either big Panama hats with brims turned down or big hats patterned after those of African hunters—the same type as worn by the grease-covered mechanics in the pits,
One of the occupants of a box was Fred Zehnder of Rome, Italian race driver. He came from New York with Count Alexis D. Sakhna~ offsky.
They were in a party which ine cluded Miss Lois Gerdts, Mr. and Mrs. Harrison Eiteljorg, Louis Rainier, Carl Fechtman, Mr. and Mrs. William Ansted, Mr. and Mrs. Lind« ley Clarke, Mr. and Mrs. Talbott Denny, Mr. and Mrs. E. E. White~ hill, all of Indianapolis; Miss Louise Kiley of Marion, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Lowell of Ft. Wayne, and Mr. and Mrs. Stuart Carew of Cincinnati.
Mrs. Wilbve Shaw, wife of the 1937 winner said she found a ladybug in her corsage of | gardenias and she regarded the find as an omen of good luck. She wore a navy blue skirt, a navy blue and white striped blouse, a blue turbin hat and blue shoes.
The wives of four drivers, Wilbur Shaw, Jimmy Snyder, Babe Stapp and Lou Meyer, each said a few words over the radio. Jimmy Jr. 4, also was asked to speak, but the little fellow tugged at his mother’s skirt and cried, “no.”
