MOTOR SPEEDING
WILBUR SHAW WINS DISTANCE EVENT FLOYD ROBERTS KILLED. TWO OTHER DRIVERS & WOMEN INJURED. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day, 11.5 a.m.) NEW YORK, May 30. Wilbur Shaw, with a speed of 115.3 miles an hour, won the Indianapolis 500-mile race. Jimmy Snyder (Chicago) was second and Cliff Bergere (Hollywood) was third. Floyd Roberts, the 1938 winner, was killed in a collison with two other cars, whose drivers and two women spectators were injured.
We read of a former steeplejack who has taken up deep-sea diving. That’s a bit of a come-down.
