...Beccali by 15 yards, with Cunningham and San Romani in the rear, refusing to be rushed. Lash was certain to be winded by the terrific pace. When Venzke dropped out, Lash faltered and Cunningham and San Romani swept into the final lap to pass him. Twenty yards from the finish, San Romani spurted ahead of Cunningham and Lash uncorked his galloping sprint. As far as the spectators could see, they split the tape neck and neck. Both were clocked by their individual timers at 4 min. 7.2 sec., half a second short of the world mark of Cunningham who finished...
Last week, the course had achieved its effect by the time the last round started. Gene Sarazen had offered to bet $500 that no one would break 288 (even fours and par). Snead had predicted that he would beat 292 and finish at least second...

Of 33 starters, 14 dropped out with motor trouble, only one had real trouble-a crash which knocked out both driver and mechanic. First to finish was dapper little Wilbur Shaw of Indianapolis, who set a new record for the race by averaging 113.58 m.p.h. Only 20 yd. behind was Ralph Hepburn of Los Angeles in the car which Louis Meyer drove to victory last year. Third was Ted Horn, also of Los Angeles. To winner...
