Meyer, the calm Californian of the
roaring road, has a chance by win
ning this year's 500-mile automo
bile race here May 30 to top
other money earners In the history
oi tne classic.
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.
Among younger drivers, Louie
Schneider, victor a year ago, is col
lector of $26,000, Billy Arnold, ahead
at the finish line In 1930. $23,400.
and George Souders, 1027 winner,
has retired.

"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."

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. -
