The New York Times

INDIANAPOLIS, May 25.—Ralph Mulford has been named as eleventh-hour entrant in the impending Indianapolis 500-mile race next Saturday, at the wheel of a Duesenberg car. Mulford found himself unable to get his own machine, a special of private construction, ready for the contest, and accordingly switched to Duesenberg at the last minute. He takes the place of Wilbur De Alene, who will now drive relief instead. Alley and O'Donnell are the other members of the team.
