ALTOONA AUTO RACE
DRAWS BEST DRIVERS
By the Associated Press.

ALTOONA, Pa, June IA score
or more Of the country's foremost
speed demons of the board track were
expected to cross the starting line
today in the 250-mi1e automobile
race at the Altoona Speedway.
Fourteen drivers in cars. of various
makes and design SO far have made
the 118 miles an hour for a single
lap necessary to qualify, while 10
others were to attempt the qualifying
run this morning.
Delay in shipment Of parts for
some Of the cars, which were being
rushed here from California by air
mail, together with a high wind and
rain, yesterday combined to cut down
the number of qualif1ers.
Dave Lewis, Earl Devore, Danny
O'Brien and Earl Cooper were the
only ones to qualify yesterday. Their
speed for a single lap varied from
1895 miles an hour. made by OBrien,
to the high mark of the day, 124.3,
made by Cooper.
Weather indications alone were un-
favorable. It had started to rain
early today, but hope was entertained
bv the drivers and the thousands OF
visitors that the weather would clear
before race time this afternoon.
Included among the probable start
ers in the motor classic were Frank
Lockhart, the 23-year-old Los Angeles
novice. who captured the 500-mile
brick track event at the Indianapolis
Speedway in May: Peter de Paolo,
1925 champion, and practically all
of the country's well known automo-
bile racers. Fred Wagner was Sc
lected as official starter.

A long rest after Influenza and
nervous strain has been ordered by
his physician, Dr. Ii. NJ. Dear, who
says Sweetser soon will be fully re-
covered but must not tax himself
again this year in championship play.
The champion will undergo com
plete examination immediately and
perhaps will remain at the hospital
for some time.
Few in America. and for that mat
ter. few In Britain. knew what Sweet
ser suffered to win the coveted crown
at Muirfield Before the amateur
tournament started he had suffered
seriously from a cold while crossing
the Atlantic. and the two weeks Of
heavy weather in London was far
from beneficial.
Members of the golfing party with
which he returned on the Aquitania
yesterday told how he collapsed after
a practice round at Muirfleld on the
eve Of the title play and was carried
from the course by big Jesse Gull
ford, a Walker Cup teammate from
Boston. Only the withdrawal Of his
opponent the next day saved him
then, they said.
A day of rest found him able to
carry on. but the night before the
semi-finals nerve strain and cold had
gained steadily and he remained
awake, much of the time massaginy
a strained wrist suffered in the semi
finals.
He went into the final clash against
Alexander Simpson OH grit alone. ac-
cording to Francis Ouimet of Boston,
who described the match as one of
the most remarkable demonstrations
he ever had seen, with the beaten
Scots lifting the American to their
shoulders at the end.
Then came st. Andrews and the
Walker Cup play with the former
college and open champion of Amer
lea refusing to lay down arms. And
then the Journey home to the United
States with doctors in attendance al
most constantly.
A special cutter. the Manhattan,
swung alongside the Aquitania yes
ter1ay at Quarantine and slowly down
the rope ladder came the hero of thes
golfing world. He had been carried
to the side in a chair, although he
assured his attendants that he was
fit to walk.
From the Battery he was rushed
to Lawrence Park Hospital in Bronx
vile, N. Y, by automobile.
So Jess Sweetser, the cOnQueror. re-
turned. greeted by only a few friends,
the cup that was in his baggage on
it's first visit to America forgotten
