EFFECT OF MATRIMONY TO BE NOTED
GEORGE SOUDERS. 500 MILE RACE WINNER LAST YEAR. MARRIED TO MISS RUTH HEEMAN OF LAFAYTTE — WIFE CAN NEGOTIATE CONTRACTS
Just what effect the added responsibility of matrimony has on the) steel treated daring: of a youthful rating driver may he studied under the magnifying glass at the 16th Inter-national 500-mile race to be held as usual here on May 3Oth.
George Souders, the youthful Purdue University student who gave up higher education for higher speeds and came romping home an unexpected but spectacular winner in last year’s sensational thrilling contest, will drive in this year’s race with a new bride watching him from a seat in the grandstand.
Flushed with success on the track and new figures in the bank book, Souders, whose home is at Lafayette, Indiana, sought out the girlhood sweetheart for whom he left home to make his fortune.
She was Miss Ruth Heeman, who had been traveling rather rapidly in the interim herself. Not only had she journeyed from Lafayette to Fort Worth, Texas, but she had advanced in the race of life from school to a practicing lawyer of Texas. Now the young driver who in his first year of big league racing won not only the International 500-mile race on the most difficult race course in the world but also defeated Ralph DePalma, the old master of dirt paths on his own type of dusty track has no business worries.
His lawyer-wife can negotiate his contracts and other tangled skeins of commercial commotion that cause temperamental and unbusinesslike sportsmen more hours of grief and worry than their speed creations.
