Shaw covered the first 100 miles in 51:49.05 for an average of 115.757 miles an hour, smashing the previous rec- ord of 112.246 miles an hour hung up by Freddie Frame, Los Angeles, in "1933. ‘With crowds still streaming through the gates, the attendance was an- nounced as 166,000, breaking all rec- ords for America’s speed classic. Stapp Leads at 75 ‘The nose of Stapp’s car beat that of Shaw’s across the stripe at 75 miles before the Hoosier boy took the lead. Stapp’s time for 75 miles was 38:53.28, a record-breaking average of 115.117. The old record was 113.599. At that time Chet Gardner was third, Billy Winn of Detroit, fourth, Floyd Roberts, fifth, George Connor, sixth, Chet Miller, seventh, Doc Mac- Kenzie, eighth, Al Miller of Detroit, ninth, and Herb Adinger of Glassport, Pa., tenth. Shaw, driving the newest thing in race cars—a stream-lined job—con- tinued to-go like:mad and led by sev; eral seconds with an average speed be } of 115.757 miles per hour. .It also was ® new record, the old one being 112.246, made by Fred Frame in 1933. No Accidents So Far ‘Tt was the first time in many years that 100 miles of the speed classic had been run without a fatality or an aceident. The improved track was living up to the hopes of the manage- ment, which had smoothed out the turns. Rex Mays, who Is 23 years old, reeled off the first 25 miles in 12:44.15, a speed of 117.726 miles an hour, a new track record for the dis- tance. He was favorite with the huge crowd. Stapp was second and Shaw third. The terrific: pace was costly for Mays, however, for he had to pull into the pits at the end of the 32 miles be- 4, cause of clutch trouble. iN Frame Forced Out Frame, veteran Los Angeles driver and winner here in 1932, was forced out of the race because of mechanical trouble. He went out with a broken spring after driving seven and a half y miles.

The incidents occurred without cas- ualties, but Japanese military author- ities took a grave view of the situa- tion. Intelligent Chinese sources de- plored the episodes, declaring Japan might welcome such occurrences as & pretext for armed intervention in North China. Extreme nervousness prevailed in Tientsin where there is a considerable American colony and where 800 Amer- ican soldiers are quartered. ‘The two incidents arose Friday night just after Japan, over-riding Chinese protests, landed 3,000 fresh troops for its North China garrisons, bringing its military strength here to nearly 10,000 men.
