SMALL CROWD ATTENDS
GREAT MOTOR RACES
Only Twenty Thousand People
See Ralph De Palma Win
Race.

Sheepshead Bay Speedway, \. Y,
Aug. 17-Barely 10000 people, mere
sprinklSg of spectators in the big
grandstand, were on hand here just
before the start of the $4,000 Inter
national Motor Sweepstakes this after
noon. The weather was ideal and the
wooden track dry and fast.
Ralph DePamer, winner of the Hark
mes handicap here early in the season,
was the favorite.
The entries were Dario Resta, Ar
thur Druary, Louis Chevrolet. Ralph
DePalma Ralph ALulford and Ira Vail.
The first race, two miles, one lap,
was won by Ralph De Palma in worlds
record time, LOS 5-j, smashing Dario
Resta S record made in 1917.
Resta was second; Mulford third and
Duray, fourth.
After drawing the post position, De
Palma shot out in front and held that
position throughout.
Chevrolet was forced from the track
in this event when he broke a crank
shaft Duray agreed to allow Chevrolet
the use of his ear in the twenty mile
event.
The second heat ten miles, was won
by DePalma also. Resta again was see
ond; Multord third and Duray fourth,
DePalma smashed another world S rec
ord in this event, when he crossed the
finish line in 5:23 40. The old record
was made by DePama in Chicago July
2S
With a burst of speed on the last lap
of the 20 miles race, DePalma also
took this event. Resta was second; Null
ford third, Chevrolet, who was driving
Arthur Duray's car dropped out in the
fourth lap. DePalma S time was 1851
3-5. The race was a hard one, the lead
see-sawing back and forth among the
contestants at almost every lap.

of Russia without interfering in any

The most important fact about arriv
