INDIANAPOLIS, May 24.-Fear Of
motor trouble-a cracked block
or needed replacement Of 4 part difa-
cult to procure-haunted gasoline al
ley at the Indianapolis Motor Speed
way today as drivers anxiously
watched the ebbing time in which
they may qualify for the 500-mile au-
tomobile race May 81.
There was dread, too, OF adverse
weather conditions, which may pre-
vent qualifying trials on scheduled
days as it did Saturday and the pre-
ceding Sunday, when usually daring
pilots refused to take their cars out
on the 2l2-mile track for the test runs
at speed we'll over 100 miles an hour
because Of rain and high winds.
Six drivers qualified their roaring
mounts yesterday to bring the total
places in the starting lineup, filled
so far to 10. Thirty-three cars will
be permitted to start the annual
grind, and If more than that number
qualify the rest Of them will be elimi-
mated automatically.

CONSIDERING Washington's vast
number Of fair tennis players,
the original draw Of 81 had seemed
somewhat discouraging to this OBJ
server, despite the fact that It Is
just about tops, in size, OF any women 8

But after talking with several ex-
perienced players, who have played
all over the country, We were given
to understand that 4 draw Of 81 for
any womens tournament is most COM
mendable. Mary Greason. who Incl
dentally beat Theodosia Smith-one

major women's tournament in that

many numbering less.

the fact that = 81 entry fee covers
the cost Of the public court and three
