(coolest persons In - th stand, showing
anxiety only when Darlo stopped at th
(pits when within three laps of victory.
I Reata, by hi victory, absolutely, proved
today that excepting possibly Ralph De
palma, he Is th greatest driver in the
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,

waa not to be tricked Into hurting his
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
ear to finish. With better luck h might
even have beaten Resta. Only six mln

' Reata waa favorite at the start and
ed most of th way, closely pressed at
Ul times. He visited th pit only three

When the raoe was over, he wiped the
HI from hi faoe, shook hands with
Bayer Thompson and disappeared to get
jora rest.
, Porporato had more tire trouble than
ks companions or he might have landed
he race. H started out with the idea
rat an average of T mile would win,
nd held that pace with little variation
tor 400 miles, whan he saw that more
