trials. He is not concerned with
the new gasoline restriction or the
rigid inspections of the officials.
There is to be little work per-
formed on the machine between now
and race time.
Always ranked as one of the high
est contenders for annual Memo
rial Day prizes, the shrewd Hoosier
pilot, who now makes his home in
California, becomes one of the ia
vorites in the 1886 speed marathon.
Much like Lou Moore, who has
knocked repeatedly at top success,
Shaw appropriately has drawn down
the caption-"often brides maid,
never a bride"
Last year, in Gil Pirrungs Spe-
cial, he logged the trail of Kelly
Petillo for miles and finished 40
seconds behind the California Ital-
ian. In 1894 he had trouble with
his car and acted as relief driver
for Lou Moore'S charger which fin
ished third. The previous year he
roared into second place behind Lou
Meyer.
AS the drivers admitted at the
track yesterday, "Wilburs about
due" Among the first three for
three straight years, Shaw also
feels that it is his turn to collect
the largest share of the prize melon,
and is confident that his car sur
passes anything that ever entered a
500-mile race.
Bill Cummings Arrives
Speedway City is colonizing rapid
ly. Of the 40 cars entered this
year, 81 are on the scene. Roscoe

verging at Gasoline Alley this week.
Mauri Rose, Chef Gardner, Ken
Fowler and Bob Sail returned from
Atlanta, Ga, where Rose won the

SMITH, WALKER
 AS OPPONENTS

New York, Feb. li-(UP)--For. mer Gov. Alfred F. Smith plans to follow his American Liberty league speech against the New Deal with another standardization address some time before the democratic national convention meets In June, 1t was learned today.
 The details of Smiths next as- sault or the policies of President Roosevelt have not yet been deter- mined but 1t will not be under Li- berty league auspices. It was con- sidered possible that Smith will speak Tn Massachusetts in support of former Gov. Joseph T. Ely's campaign for an anti-Roosevelt delegation from that state.
 An effort to nullify the effect Of Smiths hostility to Washington made by Former Mayor James J. Walker, 1t was indicated in political circles. Walker is said to feel that Smith abandoned him politically and they have not spoken since the former mayor returned from Eur ope.
 Because of Walkers personal popularity democratic leaders value any aid he might care to extend in the campaign. But reports that he would seek to attend the con vention as a delegate were dis counted.
