125,0O0 Spectators Expected
To Witness 5O0-Mile Event;
100000 In Prizes
BY HAROLD HARRISON

INDIANAPOLIS, May 9-tRHA

and 33, or perhaps only 80, stiff
helmeted race drivers will roar
off, before some 1875, 900 spectators.
in a gruelling four-hour test of
men and motors-the twenty
eighth annual 5O0-mile race.
The stake in the Memorial Day
marathon over Indianapolis two
and-a-half-mile brick-and-asphalt
speedway will be 100000 in prize
money, to be divided among the
contestants. The winner will draw
down from $4,000 to $4,000, de-
pending on the number of laps he
leads.
Doubt over the number of start
ers grew out of the breakdown
yesterday of an Italian-built Mas
erati to have been driven by Rene
Lcbegue, French soldier on leave.
If this can be repaired before
the race starts, Lebegue will be in
the field. Otherwise, American Au-
tomobile association Officials must
rule whether a car driven by Tony
Willman of Milwaukee, qualified
for the race but crowded out by
faster machines, may replace it.
Assuring an international flavor
will be Paul Riganti of B u n o S
Aires, Argentina, the South Ameri-
can champion, at the wheel of a
rev Maserati rated by most
trackside observers as one of the
fastst spedsters in the event.
Two former winners will be in
the race. They are Wilbur Shaw of
Indianapolis, seeking to tie Louis
Meyer of Huntington Park, Calf,
as a three-time victor, and Kelly
Petillo of Los Angeles.
Shaw will drive another Maser-
att, the same car in which he won
last year. He also was first in
1887. Petillo won in 1885.
On the basis of qualifying speeds
the field is not as fast as that OF
a year ago, but only two starters
qualified at an average of less than
l2O miles an hour. !

With "Yi' LeGwin hurting shut

Softball circuit game yesterday at
the Twenty-second street yard.
The Builders are now in front
again with six wins and three
losses. The Taylor-Colquitt Creoso-
ters trail with five wins and two
defeats.
In chalking up his fourth victory
out of five starts, "YI' LeGWin
used a change of pace to perfect
advantage. He was backed by
errorless ball. On several occa-
sions the Bagmen showed runners
to third, but their run-minting
punch was lacking.
Hitless until the fourth, the
Goodwin club managed to get
''Dutchy" McKeithan aboard on
Pieper's error. Horace Emerson
picked out a shoulder-high ball and

eron lined a sizzler over third to
make it two.
In the fifth Harry Bethea singled,
Raeford Trask pushed him to the
midway station on sacrifice hit,
and the Builders husky backstop,
Fred Tienken, singled him hine.
It was a pitching duel between
"Red" Hansley and LeGwin with
the former allowing six blows and
the latter four.

That is America, the greatest
sports country in the world. In other
nations there will be the roar of
motors. roaring over land, sky and
sea, bent on destruction.
Over here-a nation still looked up
on as semi -civilized" by Europe -
we will be playing.
The orators today will talk of the
crisis of the world. The bands will
play martial music. In the ball parks,
the PLAYERS will talk casually of the
crisis facing their respective teams
and the bands will play Take Me
Out to the Ball Game" And the fans
will veil themselves hoarse thinking
about it.
This And That
Efforts were started here a few
weeks ago to book one of the golf
tournament on the fall or winter
circuits for Wilmington :. Those in
terested in a pro or open tourney
here have a chance for a fall date
but circumstances apparently make
it impossible for a tournament to be
held here at that time Now plans
are being discussed to ask for a
spring date about the first of April
Lefty Cheshire, together with
Paul Mallory and a couple of other

OF amateur fight cards will be pre-
sented at Carolina Beach on Friday

appear on the card =. In the voting
as to who would receive the Golden
Laurel award for the most outstand
ing athlete, Joe DiMaggio, of course,
won. but a number of votes were
cast for Joe Burk, the sculls cham
pion Alice Marble, Joe Mccarthy,
Joe Louis and Bill McKechnie
So it looks as if the Joes have a

you'll be right when you say "A guy
