RESTA WINS 500- MILE AUTO RACE ON CHICAGO TUB (Continued from Page One) had ignition trouble and kult at seventy- two miles, Linberg withdrew at 20 miles on account of engine trouble, and | fenition trouble forced Willie Haupt out at 270 miles. Bddie O'Donnell was forced wout at 20 miles by engine trouble. Wonderful Speed. e entire first ten drivers who fin- ished bettered the record set by De Palma at Tndlanapolls. Joa Cooper, who fin- Ished tenth, averaged 80.3 miles an hour, while De Palma's average was but 89 miles an hour. The time conclustvely manifested the superiority of board speed- ways such as are now located at Chicago and Omaha. The race was delayed thirty minutes in | starting because Burman had piston trouble. The speed king completely tore Wown his engine from the orank shaft up and put in a new piston. He finished the job In one hour and seven minutes. The race started with Resta pacing a preliminary lap. The famous Bnglish- man went right into the lead on the first Jap. Alley was the first man into the pits. He came in on the first lap, ‘was soon out,again. Tire Trouble at Start. All of the machines seemed to have frouble with tires at the start. Chandier, fgenning, Maxwell, Cooper, Anderson and .:zl-u\ blew off right rear tires within fdirty miles. When Resta threw his tire | Wilcox jumped into the lead, but lost it |a second later when he himself blew his [right rear tire. Porporato took the lead at eighty miles, put blew a tire, and Earl Cooper forged 1s mount ahead. Cooper led at 100 miles, #hus grabbing $1.000 additional prize oney. Cooper's average was 100.4 miles E. hour for the first 100 miles. j Rickenbacher to Front. Cooper held the lead for a few laps :{:a then Resta jumped to the fore at 140 les and held the lead the remainder of the race. Rickenbacher first came into prom- inence at this perfod. He gradually worked his way up to eighth position. iAt 200 miles he was fifth. He held that position for 3 Omiles. When the 400-mfle mark was reached the Omaha product had worked his way into 1liird place and he stuck right there untd the finish. Five Stops for Resta. Resta made five stops during the race Tour of.these were made before AL 220- mile mark was reached. His last stop xas made at 44 miles. The erowd rhud- Wered when ft-saw him stop for it was feared Porporato would pass him. But Resta took on gas and oil in teenty- seven seconds and easily beat the Sun- beam pilot home. There wers no accidents of any kind, Chevrolet had a narrow escape when his smachine side-slipped and he rammed iato the guard rall, but when the car spun atound Chevrolet got control of it and rolled into the pits for minor repairs and was Mght out again. Jack Gable, Bur- man’s mechanician, had his eye cut by & Slying splinter, but it was a minor b uise. 31 was officially announced that 80,000 yeople saw the race, surpaséing that at Irdianapolis. pnxiety only when Dario stopped at the | pits when within three laps of victory. | Resta, by his victory, absolutely. proved | today that excepting possibly Ralph De | ma, hoe is the greatest driver in the ame. i Ho drove a steady heady race and eserved to win. When 400 miles was sed Porporato and Cooper tried to pnake Reste overwork his engine by ppurting past him, but Resta merely grioned and ma; his steady pace. Yo had a good lead and knew it and was not to be tricked into hurting his chances by responding to the demands f the crowd to brush with Cooper and Porporato. Resta at Even Money. Resta was the favorite and it was uni- versally agreed he would win, Bets were Jayed at even money on the Englishman against the field. Porporato was re- garded as more or less of a dark horse, although it was known he had the ability gnd the car to cop the large money. Rickenbacher’s success was more or less of & surprise, but it was mighty gratitying. Rickenbacher was the first lAmerican driver and the first American but I UMA WINNERS IN b5O00-MILE AUTO CHASE AT CHICAGO.
