'lndiiiutpolts . 'winners,' have much In common Both strong boosters foiv Champton spark; plugs which they use In their cars. Two outstanding "knights of the roaring road." Louis Meyer, who won at Indianapolis last Memorial Iay. nnd Oeorge Sanders, the win- , ner of this great racing classic last i year, and who finished thin, be hind Meyers this year, have a great deal In common. Both ure young. Both are dar ing and'- skillful drivers. Neither was conceded a real chance before the races they won. Last year Souders was not even considered hy the wise ones, and his victory was largely due to the heady, well planned race he drove. The result was practically dupli cated this year. Meyers, a young mechanic, did not have a mount until three days before the race: He was given no consideration against the established stars. Yet he went out to win hy driving a careful, well planned race and put 1 1 over. The sameness In the history of the two young racers has been such that they ore great pals off the race track. Also they are great boosters for Champion spark plugs, which both use In their racing cars. , After his victory, Meyers wired tho Champion factory at Toledo, O., ns follows: "Won first place in T.00 mile race hen today. Perfect perfor mance of my Champion spark plug" certainly helped to make It possible, as without them I could not have maintained Ihe necesKary wpeeil." Souders also wired In as follows: "Champion spark plugn equip ped my Miller engine when I fin ished third here today Just as they did when 1 won first place last year."
