May 29—The horse had his day in America May 2 at Churchill Downs. Automobiles have theirs tomorrow at Indianapolis where 50 motor jockeys will drive shiny lit tle juggernauts over a 500-mile stretch in pursuit of gold and glory. It will be remembered that in the Kenucky Deby one of the horses, Granville, unseated his rider. Sim ilar incidents have occurred at the Speedway with distressing, sometimes tragic, results. When an automobile going better than 100 miles an hour throws a man, it isn’t quite like fall ing off a horse. There is a popular refined notion that the crowds which go to Indian apolis annually on Memorial day are there chiefly to see blood spilled and bones broken. Barney Oldfield, who got his start by smoking cigars and driving 130 miles an hour, recently put the rap on the race by calling it a useless sacrifice, to speed. It was his argument that automobiles have bsen so nearly perfected that there is no scientific need fbr the Memorial day experiments. Yes, It’s a Race! Aside from the terrible and the scientifc there is a side to the race which Barney may have overlooked. That Is the sporting side. After all. it’s a race. Last year 135,000 people paid to see it. The greatest crowd for a single sporting event' in America assembles annually for the pisten derby. To say they all go there to see men smack walls is nq more convinc ing than to guess that the crowd that goes to Louisville wants to see boys fall off horses. When Rome was in its glory men drove chariots. Down through the years there always have been daring souls ready to compete with vehicles that travel faster than humans can run. Any Sunday driver will bear wit ness. Except for the aibsence of pari mutuel machines under the grand stands, the Indianapolis race is not unlike the Louisville classic. The crowd has its favorites. They. Like Cummings ’’Wild Bill” Cummings is picked by the experts on past performances to repeat his 1934 victory this year, when Kelly Petillo won the- race, and S3O - prize money, Wild Bill ran third. The record prize money at Indian apolis. by the way, is $50,150, earned by Billy Arnold, six years ago, his * irst prize being augmented by $17,000 for winning laps and $13,150 from accessory dealers. Cummings must be given rating as the Brevity in this year’s race. Prob ably the Bold Venture of the motor derby is Rex Mays, 23-year-old champ ion from the Pacific coast. Last year he won pole position at Indianapolis with the fastest qualifying time 120- 736 miles an hour. This year he re peated, with 119.644 miles an hour. If you are wondering what happens to a man when he is flung from his SAVANNAH DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, MAY 29. 1936 J/ BMOr W Wi WHW .^fI!PIWTM.T v -'i 1 <?av ■ ’ - Ik i ■KXI iralM iaagcoum w<=m * aajmual- "... spe-ep classics A'Jecji.&E. speed B -• 7WE-&oo aailcs 6JT I*.

Warming up re cently on the Speedway, each suffer ed the embarrassment of overturning. They probably owe their lives to the fact that the turns have been resur faced to assure safety. Neither was seriously hurt. Mays led the pack last year for 300 miles until forced ou when his ‘horse” indicated a bowed tendon. Shaw Coming Up The Indian Broom of the gas grind is Wilbur Shaw, who has been driv ing since 1927—and coming closer year by year. Shaw finished in the money nine years ago, taking fifth position. In 1932 he roared in second. Last year he copped second place again, and $13,500 prize money. Shaw averaged 105.990 miles an hour last year, breaking the old record of 104.- 863, and running so close to the win ner, Kelly Petillo, that he could al most reach over and grab his mount’s bridle (the Derby again!) Petillo's record of 106.240 for the full distance stands as all-time tops. That makes him the Twenty Grand of the brick saucer. I ? I- When you w:nt a good time, what why? ...

AUTO RACERS MAY COMPETE ON SANDS OF SAVANNAH BEACH, REPORTS HINT I It was revealed yesterday that the i possibility of Savannah Brach again sharing the Southern racing spot light this summfr with the running of another 100-mlle auto race on the sands of the beach is a near reality. Promoters ar? here at the present time looking over the beach and are conferring as to whether or not the many jetties which are being con structed at th? present time would in terfere seriously with the running of a long race. Staged for the first time last year, the race was attended by some of the most famed Southern beach track artists with the event being won by the heavy footed Luther Campbell from Fernandina who captured the event with a Ford V-8 Special. Anx ious to come buck to the scene of his former triumphs, the Florida daredevil is seeking to add to the many victories in his column this present season- A report of th? inspectors will be forwarded to the office of the pro moters who will come here in an ef fort to petition the Tybee Council in an effort to allow the race to be run. Savannah will be ' well repre sent'd if th? race can come off, in a bevy of drivers who can hold their own with some of the South’s finest drivers. (CONTNVED SPORTS ON FACIE 5) BASEBALL RESULTS NEW YORK, May 29 (TP).’—The New York Giants realize today that the .Boston Bees were well named when they picked their new title. The Giants- are nursing the effects of two Bee-stings in the form of the double-header victory the Boston Na tional league team rapped out against the New , Yorkers yesterday. The Giants lost their league leadership by the double defeat. The Bees took the first'game, 4 to 3 and then annexed the nightcap 5 to 4. In other National league games the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 7 to 2; the Brook lyn Dodgers climbed out of the cel lar by beating the Phillies, 13 to 10, and the Chicago Cubs laced the Cin cinnati Reds, 11 to 5.

INDIANS IDLE TODAY The Indians are taking a well > earned rest today, being idle in i Macon. Losing their first game i with the Peaches, it is hoped the lay-off will inject some of the needed pep to rouse the Indians out of the fourth place legarthy.
