Who Won

P:Floyd Roberts of Van Nuys, Calif.: the annual 500-mile Memorial Day automobile race; his first major victory in 22 years of racing; driving the entire distance without relief and stopping only once (for 30 seconds); finishing five miles ahead of second-place Wilbur Shaw, last year's winner; in 4 hr., 15 min., 58.40 sec., for an average of 117.200 m.p.h., which broke the record of 113.580 set by Shaw last year; before a crowd of 150,000; at Indianapolis. Of the 33 drivers who started, only 13 finished. One, Emil Andres of Chicago, wound up in a hospital after his car turned over three times and one of its wheels flew into the infield, killing a spectator perched atop a truck.

P: Five-year-old Snark: the 52nd running of the historic mile-and-a-quarter Suburban Handicap; by a nose, over Jerome Louchheim's four-year-old Pompoon; in 2 min., 1 2/5 sec., fastest undisputed time in the history of the race; at Belmont Park. Disgruntled was the crowd of 25,000 who had gone to the track hoping to see Samuel Riddle's famed War Admiral run against his old rival, Pompoon, as a substitute for the widely publicized $100,000 Memorial Day race with Seabiscuit, which had been called off earlier in the week because of Seabiscuit's weak knees. Just before the Suburban, and for an unexplained reason, War Admiral was scratched.

P: Navy's undefeated lacrosse team: its annual June week game with Army, 10-to-3; its eighth victory in a row this season; clinching its claim to the U. S. intercollegiate championship; before 3,000 spectators; in Michie Stadium, West Point.
