Meyer will go to the starting line as the greatest money winner at rncianapoifs who Is still in the sport. His purse collections total $33,600. and he will be the only starter with a chance to set a purse record. .Milton Twice Victor Tommy Milton, only driver ever to win the fiOO-mile race twice, heads all drivers In winnings. Of the si. 276.850 the speedway corporation has distributed to drivers since 1909. Milton got 849,600. He won In 1021 and 1923 and has retired. A man who never won a 600-milc race is the next biggest money win ner. He is Harry Hertz, who col lected 37,000 by finishing second in 1922, 1923 and 1926 and fourth in 1924 and 1925. Second prize in the long race Is $10,000 and first is $20,000. Hartz quit the pilot's game after cracking up a few years ago. Even The Best Fail Some of the country's greatest drivers in the lost decade have found gold hard to win on the hard bricks of the bumpy 2', mile track here. They provided funs with thrills ga lore and some of them went broke doing it. Eddie Rlckenbacker, American war aco and now president of the speed way corporation. ,was one who gam bled on his driving for years but never profited financially. His long career In speedway competition net ted him only $1400 from local pro moters. He finished in the money, tenth, in 1914. Harney Vict Jm of Luck Barney Oldfielc. grand old man of automobile racing, tried for years to increase his bankroll here. His fame as a daredevil pilot gained him ' the finest cars of his day, but some thing always went wrong mid he only earned $4700. He was fifth In 1914 and 1910. "Wild Bob" Burman. killed at Santa Monica, flirted with the gods of chance here and won only $2200. The Into Jimmy Murphy was a big winner, however, his collections to taling -$33,600, the same as those of the youthful Meyer. Ralph De Palma won $31,400. His nephew. Peter, profited $25,200, and Rene Thomas, the Frenchman, took away $30,000 In 1914 and 1916. Jules Goux, another Frenchman, pulled down $28,500 by winning in 1913 and taking fourth in 1914 and third in 1919.

"Iodine" Horses Leave Carolina For Race Track COLOMBIA, S. C. Wv-The last of 'i-aceland's "Iodine horses" have gone liorth to show other pontes what it means to be "iodine fed." ' Several caravans of racing thor oughbreds, trained here and fed on SroducU from South Carolina, which Ousts a high Iodine content In product grown in its soil, hnvo been sent to eastern nice tracks. Trainers are eager for results. The first contingent went to Mary land and others have followed in special vans. One shipment of six curs lert Columbia bearing banners which read: "Iodine horses, trained Jn South Carolina." The reason for this hullabaloo about feeding hones an Iodine diet Is the claim thnt they are bettor fitted for racing. Carl J. Nngle, manager of the Buxton stables here, said "horses trained here have been wry suc cessful In possessing that extra in definable something" so necewnry for a horse to carry it through the final spurt In the home stretoh. Ho said that. In cooperation with Dr. William Weston, tnanaelng di rector or the South Carolina Re sources commission and his nssltt ants. eiperiments were conducted this past winter and that results are being watched by dietitians and horsemen as the animal race on northern tracks. "Next year," Nagle said, "further nd more extensive experiments will be based on results achieved thin summer. Next fall some de ficient horses will be brought here and fed according to recommenda tions of the resources commission."

May 11 W) Lord Roseberry's Miracle, second choice for the derbv at Ensom Downs June i, today won the Newmarket they" .have done well enough, Cubs Threaten To Make League Race a Runaway Iiy Ottyle Talbot (Associated Press Sports Writer) Tearing along three games In front of their closest pursuers today, their great pitching staff mowing down opposing batsmen with telentless ef ficiency and their hitters humping in unison, the Chicago Cubs threaten to make a runaway of the National league race. When young Uti Warneke set the New York Giants down yesterday. 0 to 2, the leaders scored their fourth straight victory over eastern clubs and their thirteenth win In sixteen engagements. Unless Rogers Horns by's team is slowed down soon, it will pile up such an advantage It will be able to coast through to the flag. Warneke (loins Good Warneke's sensational hurling has rounded out one of the most form idable staffs in cither league. In winning his first five games, in each of which he went the full distance, the 23-year-old product of Mount Ida, Ark., has given up only nine hits, his work has overshadowed that of such veteran mates as Mo lone, Bush, Smith, Root and Grimes, and Dykes knocked in four of the win ners' runs with a homcrun and a double. .;..'i The wlldness of Walter Stewart and "Bump'Hadley, who distributed 11 walks, helped the Yankees trounce the St. Louis Browns, 10 to 2, in their delayed opener. Vernon Gomez held "ihe Browns to seven hits in his fourth win of the year and likely would have had a shutout but for weak fielding behind him in the fifth, when the visitors scored all their runs. - Cleveland was rained out at Washington. Sport Slants J Iiy Alan J. Gould (Associated Press Sports Editor) The golf ball situation appears to have turned the corner, anyway. over the "balloon" sphere echoed over the fairways from one coast to tho other. Old Joe Duffer was fly ing -the distress signal and he didn't hesitate to let the game's ruling powers know about it. Now there Isn't a single conv plaint on file In the offices of the United States Golf association, f So much improved aro things, .In fact, that H. H. Romcay, the genial chief executive of the U. S. G. A., and his associates now can move around freely among friends and the general public without being obliged to duck. All because they listened to the wails of 1031 and authorized the manufacturers to add seven-one-hundredths of an ounce to the weight of the official ball. The heavier "balloon" ball bo far has met with universal approval. It doesn't euro a slice, bounce au tomatically out of traps or whistle In the tall grass, but it behaves bet ter in the wind and Is more con sistently satisfactory to handle on GOLF PLUM TO EAST a This year's renewal of the Walker Cup international golf battle will be played somewhere along the At lantic seaboard, since the matter of traveling expense Is an item to bo censidered, for the British as well as the American forces. It means that all three of the principal golfing classes of the sea son will be produced in the east. Baltimore has the national ama teur. Flushing, L.
