Tt is a , to / bet that Ralph De-
Palma will not drive. although, of
course, there is always the chance
of him showing up. The latest
dope is that he was to have driven
one of Durants cars but could not
because Of a business contract.
Johnny Hines, appearing in
person at the Circle Theater,
was a railbird at the Speedway
on Monday. johnny is quite
l1idder and he went Il couple
rounds with Steve flanagan i'm
verbal battle. The hOnOrs were
about even.
7AVE LEWIS as yet has no
} relief driver. And that is
not a simple problem at all.
Not so many of the pilots know
the front-drive cars. Any pilot
needs relief on the 500-mile grind.
AS one driver said, IF a car is
good enough to stand up for the
500 miles that piece of machinery
is so much better than the man
guiding it, that there is no com
parison."
At the terrific pace of the
present races it is almost inn
perative that a driver have some
one to rest him up. The strain is
terrific on steel and rubber but
even more so on the human
frame"
Everyone is anxiOusly await
ing the arrival Of the Duesen-
bergs, which are up to the usual
trick of getting to the track at
the last moment.

A Chrysler roadster will act as
the pacemaking car at the start Of
the 500mile race next Monday.
