ness and showed the mark up to
112.4S3 miles an hour. On his third
lap he got a nasty skid on the
deadly old northeast turn and slid
up to within g. few feet of the wall,
but Strengthened out splendidly.
De PaolO Next
Harry's record stood only a short
time, for little Pete De Paolo soon
showed up for his great drive. He
crashed out the first lap at 114.2S5,
a new track record which still
stands. On the next lap he broke
a water pump jacket and as he shot
under the bridge at the north turn
he was shooting water all over the
track. But Pete stuck to it and de-
spite the fact that his motor was
getting hotter and hotter as the
water level fell In the radiator, he
passed the 113-mile mark. On the
third lap he took a bad slide swish
on the last turn and for time 1t
looked like real trouble, but he came
through with flying colors. There
was almost no wate- In his radiator
when he rolled home.

On his first lap he almost hit the
inside wall of the first turn, and on
his third lap he did side jump of
almost six feet as he swung into the
MIDDLE Of the third turn. His tre-
mendcus strength enabled him to
hold his car, and he bettered Pete's
time by ~ bare third of a second for
the four laps.
Earl Devore did a good bit Of work
in qualifying the old nickle- plated
Miller motored car driven by Cliff
Durant last year. Devore never had
driven the track here before but
qualified at 97.99 miles an hour.
Milton is Late
Tommy Milton had a lot of trouble
getting ready and 1t was almost
dark when he brought festivities to
an end by turning the track ct the
rate Of 104.365.
One Of the big surprises was the
splendid showing OF Dave Lewis in

has been out very little and no one
expected 1t to show the 1o9-mile
gait Dave put 1t through. De Palma
and Corum were almost ready to
make their trials several times. but
could not set their carburetors to
suit them. So Ralph finally called

from the draining of low l1nd by a

Pennsylvania and Twenty-Seventh

UP his hand for the start He gave
the other drivers something to shoot
at by setting mark of 110.487 miles

with only one-half second variation

We all rose, and as we left the

tried to express my pleasure in his

came from all quarters of the globe,
to be served in a manner that was
perfection.
I'm taking the liberty, Mrs. Pres

flowers to your house. had them
arranged so that they could be hur-

will probably find them there when
you arrive tonight"
1t was strange experience that
after this idyllic dinner, artistic gift,
and poetical story. Melville Sartoris
elected to take us to see "What Price
Glory?" that war play which has
perhaps done more to show the sor-
