INDIANAPOLIS, May 25.-At least
| a dozen drivers were ready today to
battle for the 10 remaining places
in the starting lineup for the In
dianapolis 5oo-mile Memorial Day
speedway race.
Qualification trials were to be re-
sumed at o'clock this afternoon and
continue until pm.

cars ready were former winners OF

Will Try Third Time.
Petillo and Jimmy Snyder, the for
mer Chicago milkman, have made
two qualifying attempts each and must
complete their 25-mile jaunts on their
next attempts If they are to start
the race. They probably will not
attempt to exceed l2l miles an hour
in thek final trials
Speedway officials continued TO in.
sist there would be full field for the
start Of this years race. They based
their claims, however on the belief
that the three cars built by Harry Mil
Ter, veteran race car designer, would be
ready to qualify before the deadline.

All three cars boast radical changes
in race car construction. Two Of them
have both radiators and gasoline tanks
on the sides and one of them is rear

two-time champion Barney Welsh
would not play in The Star tourna-

To date 1t hasn't been in any one
else's possession since this newspaper
offered 1t in competition In 1895.
Incidentally, the fact that the 30th
Of May comes on q Monday means
that the mems tournament should be
pretty well down to its late rounds in
both singles and doubles by that eve
ming. That Is, barring . bad break
in the weather. Although Edgemoor
has only i've courts, the planned
schedule Of from at o'clock on Sat-
urday and all-day play on Sunday and
Monday means that some few more
than 100 matches can be completed
before every one (else) goes back to
work on Tuesday morning.
From then on it should be q breeze,
with evening hours next week being
able to be devoted to relatively few
matches and concentration propor-
tionate to their importance given them.
Many followers of women's tennis
undoubtedly have been missing some
Of the best matches Of The Star tourna-
ment this week because they thought
rain had wiped out all chance to play.
Those uninformed souls should be told
that Army-Navy's har-tru courts are
playable less than . half hour after
anything but the most torrential
downpour has stopped falling.
80 far, it's been q poor season for
the local club professionals. All re-
port fewer lessons, less racket sales
and fewer restringing racket jobs
than at any similar time in the past
i've years. While some reason is laid
at the door Of the recession, most
blame Is laid on the late opening of
the public courts which weren't ready
for play until early this month.
It may seem queer, but lot

Gene Hermann at Army-Navy grew
up on Washington's public courts and
Buddy Goeltz at Columbia played in
quite few tournaments here the past
two years. Both do work, both in
structive and on rackets, for players
outside Of their clubs.
Naturally. when there wasn't any

self. So what the Government, by
its course of uncertainty, produces in
the way Of lack Of confidence would
be made up in the case Of small loans
by the action of Government in in
suring capital loans.
Various plans for small loan ma
chinery are under consideration at
the White House and at the r. F. c.
and the Federal Reserve Board. It
has been thought that some mortgage
associations might be created which
would make small loans to industries
and businesses of all kinds. and that
the debentures issued by these asso-
Citations would be insured and thus
made a marketable security for pur-
chase by banks.
Certainly 1t is an odd state of affairs
when house situated in a neighbor-
hood that may change at any time
can be mortgaged for 10 to 20 years
and the mortgage insured. whereas
a sound business with & capable man
agement and a record Of earnings and
prudence cannot even get or 10
year money except from loan sharks or
persons who exact as a fee or COM
mission slice Of the business which
they befriend. The administration Is
on the right track in digging into the
subject, and indications are that
something will come Of it soon.

After the general devaluation and

in most European countries showed q
more or less strong upward trend. The
League of Nations figures, however,
which take 1929 as 100. show that
throughout 1885 and 1887 there has
been no improvement in basic produc-
ton in France despite the devaluation
which occurred at the end of Septem-
ber. 1896, and despite the enormous
budget deficit and government spend
ing, 32.l per cent of which, in the
present budget, is for armaments.
Theoretically devaluation should
help foreign trade. Nevertheless. the
