May 30.-Col. Francesca de Pinedo,
Italian aviator, arrived here this
morning on the Italian steamer Su.

Santa Maria, II, in tow.
De Pinedo left Trepassey, New

on his return journey to Rome, con-
Guiding his four-continent flight. He

so much gasoline that he found it i'm

steamer Superga for the trip to the
Azores. Col. de Pinedo intends to fly

made in moderate weather, but the
plane encountered a blanket of fog
and for 400 miles had to fly at a high
altitude to get above the mist.
At this height a strong contrary
wind was encountered, slowing the
speed and increasing the consumption
of fuel. When about 270 miles from
Flores Island the Portuguese schooner
Infante Sagres was sighted. Fearing
he would be unable to reach Horta,
De Pinedo decided to come down.

Record Crowd of 145,000
Sees Four Accidents Early

SPEEDWAY, INDIANAPOLIS May
S0.-With a record-smashing crowd of
145,000 spectators cheering them on
to new speed records, 33 drivers, their
tiny racing creations perfectly tuned,
roared away at 10 o'clock today in the
start of the 500-mile automobile race
over the Indianapolis Speedway.
Frank Lockhart, a 23-year-old Los
Angeles youth, who came out of the
West unknown a year ago to win the
1925 race, was a red-hot favorite to
repeat, with Tommy Milton, twice win
ner of the race, ranking as danger
Gus challenger.
Milton, veteran of the roaring race
road, returned to the sport after re-
firing Is months ago. He drove a
car Of his own build, a mysterious spe-
cial, which qualified at 10S miles an
hour and seemed to have plenty of
speed in reserve.
LOckhart Leads at Start.
Lockhart took the lead on the very
first lap. He was ripping along near
ly three-quarters of mile ahead of
Leon Duray at the end of the second
lap. Harry Hartz, another Los Angeles
driver, was third.
The spectators got their first gasp
when a car driven by Norman Batten
of Brooklyn burst into flames in full
sight of the thousands in the grand
stands as the leaders were finishing
the first so miles. With smoke and
blazing gasoline enveloping the speed.
ing car, Batten heroically stuck with
the machine, driving while standing
up until he gamely brought it to a
stop. He was seriously burned on
the hands and body. He was rushed
to the hospital for first aid.
Three Other Accidents Occur.
Before the first 100 miles were fin.
jshed there were three other acci.
dents.
The car driven by Jules Ellingboe of
Memphis, smashed into the retaining
wall on the north turn of the track
az Ellingboe was on his siXtieth mile.
The machine was wrecked. Ellingboe
was reported to have sustained broken
legs.
Dave Lewis also hit the north wall,
when his front axle broke. Lewis
escaped injury. Hartz scraped the
wall turning into the stretch, but
pulled into the pits under his own
power.
Lockhart, his car singing a song of
speed. reeled off the first 100 miles in
57:00:2S. an average of 105.25 miles an
hour. Bauman was second. Bob Nc.
Donogh was third.
Lockhart. up to this time, had
earned $4,000 in lap prize bonuses,
getting 800 for every lap he led.
Driver Seriously Injured.
II. kohlert, a garage owner of st.

fatally injured when his car tangled

kohlert was picked up for dead, but
he was still alive when he was rushed
TO the hospital, with the physicians
holding out no hope for him. His

was internally injured.
