THE 500-MILE CLASSIC ATTRACTS A NEW ONE

The 500-mlle Liberty Sweepstakes at Indianapolis May 31st has been the “flame” to several moths of the racing world one of whom is Kurt Hitke, the St. Paul lad. This will be Hltke’s first appearance as a driver in the 500 mile race on the Indianapolis track. A Roamer-Duesenberg will be Hltke’s mount in the Indianapolis race, and for this reason he will bear watching every foot of the way as this combination has a peculiar way of showing lots of speed and staying oower.
