For or5OO-Ni|er

INDIANAPOLIS, May 13
(AP) Eddie Sachs today came
back from a bad 1860 wreck
and won the pole position for
the 500-mile auto race for the
second straight year. The feat
had been accomplished anly
twice before since the first Me-
mortal Day speed classic so
years ago.
The late Ralph DePalma
earned the No. l starting spot
in 1920-21 and the late Rex
Mays did it in 1886.
The Center Valley (Pa.) vet
eran, hospitalized a month last
fall after crashing at Sacra-
mento, Calf, came back with
the second fastest 10-mile quail
ification in speedway history.
He wheeled his white Dean Spe-
cial through the four laps at
an average speed Of 147.481
miles an hour. The days %
qualifiers, including Jack Brab-
ham Of Australia, world road
racing champion, failed to ap-
proach the qualifying record of
140.056 set last year by Jim
Hurtubise of Lennox, Calf.
Hurtubise, in a different car
this year, had today's third best
speed of l46.306.
Possibly 10000 speed fans
saw a full day of almost acci-
dent-free competition on the
dangerous old track where vet

counting the conclusions, the
four or five times he's been un.

He came back this year tc
turn in a qualifying 149.245 lap
the fastest ever recorded in
traffic on the track-before a
