I Reata, by hi victory, absolutely, proved
today that excepting possibly Ralph De

itame.
i He drove a steady heady race and
lleserved to win. When 400 mile was
passed Porporato and Cooper tried to
pnake Rests, overwork bis engine by
spurting past him, but Resta merely
Sinned and malnained hi steady pace,

fchancea by responding to the demands
pf the crowd to brush with Cooper and
porporato.
Reata mt Etm Momey.
1 Resta was the favorite and it was uni
versally agreed he would win. Bets were
liayed at even money on th Englishman
against the field. Porporato was re
garded as more or less of a dark horse,
although it waa known he had the ability
and the car to cop the large money.
! lUckenbachW success was more or
less of a surprise, but It waa mighty
gratifying. Rickenbachr wa the first
American driver and the first American

, Porporato had more tire trouble than
ks companions or he might have landed

rat an average of T mile would win,
nd held that pace with little variation
tor 400 miles, whan he saw that more
