and may choose to let himself out to the limit in the time trials.
 Turning to the other side of the pie ture, after the time trials have been run there will remain 10 unfortunates who, after weeks and months of stren- uous preparation for the greatest of all racing classics, will see their hopes to rank among the elite Of the racing world ground in the dust without the satisfaction Of even having faced the starter, or gone roaring around the track in the thrilling first round that is the inaugural of all Indianapolis 500-mile events.
 To these cars will be denied the blaze and glory of actual competition of threading their cars through a maze of wheeled torpedoes moving with bullet-like speed. of pitting their skill and daring against the best the world has to offer. Three meager laps of the track under the cold, impartial eye of the starter, and a souIless electric tim ing apparatus to record their failure. and their brief day of glory will be over.
 However, the world of sport has
Arizona republican., 1919-05-11

little compassion for him who goes down to defeat, unless it be an heroic catastrophe like that which befeu Ralph De Palma at Indianapolis, in 1912, when, with but one lap more to go and victory within his grasp, his Mercedes faltered and the hard won fruits of victory vanished in the twink ling of an eye. Ordinarily the failures depart from the arena unhonored and unsung, save for their own regrets.
 The time trials for an Indianapolis 800 mile race are a fertile source of disillusionment for those whose imag- ination and ambition spur them to deeds beyond their ken, a crucible eliminating the dross of unworthy competition, and a guarantee to the public of a. contest between peers in the realm of motor racing sport To survive the Hoosier preliminary tests Is to receive the accolade of racing honors; to fail is to vanish into the outer darkness.

 Among the Europeans, it is thought probable that the Ballot team, com posed Of Thomas.

The Ballot cars are new creations, built especially for the Indianapolis 500-mile event, and are said to be the fastest thing on wheels that Europe has yet produced. Also it will be well 10 keep an eye on Eesta and Chassagne, the gasoline steeds of this combination having been credited with a speed of 122 miles an hour by no less an authority than Capt Eddie Rickenbacher.

Probably the high lights of the trip were the banquet given in their honor at Nashville, attended by the city of ficials, the motor interests and leading citizens; the reception, parade and public meeting at Atlanta, and the great parade and rural motor truck demonstration at Macon.
 On entering Atlanta, two brass bands and a delegation of 100 trucks with thousands of citizens in tow. extended a vociferous welcome. Public address es and filming of the scene followed
 The reception at Macon was evrn more impressive. There the Firestone trucks led a parade of several hundred trucks through the principal streets. Again the film crew went into action.

An interesting incident of the first day was a Firestone tire changing contest in front of one of the news paper es-parGcipated in by 8 number of popular Macon girls-Red Cross workers.
 But the crowning feature was staged on the second day. Four trains of 50 trucks each had been organized and assigned routes radiating out 50 miles from the city.
 Loaded to capacity, these truck trains departed to deliver goods of var ious character to farmers enroute, picking up return loads of farm prod Lets on the trip back to Macon. A speed Of E miles per hour was main tained throughout.
