Every one of the headliners in the thrilling game, without a single exception, will be in the starting field of the \Second In- dianapolis\. Heading the list is the peerless \Wild Bill\ Cum- mings, winner of the Grand Prize at Indianapolis and now within reaching distance of the highly prized national champ ionship speed title. The winner here last year, Cummings will enter the race one of the favorites to win. And a victory for the dazzling Hoosi- er speed demon will mean the national championship, as \Wild Bill\ needs but a few more points to clinch the title. ---„.... ^ w Plenty of opposition will be Laraby, master 'of thrust in the way of the Indiana dare-devil. Mauri Rose, the hard-riding Dayton, Ohio, driv- er will furnish a good portion, for Rose is out to snare the championship himself, an ac- complishment he may achieve by winning the race here. And, in that event, Mauri will have av- enged the setback he received here last year and again this season at Indianapolis, when, each time, he was forced to trail the Indiana speed ace over the line in second place. ^\ .
