QUINCY EVENING NEWS, Mass., May 31, 1930

* Indianapolis 500 classic
* Billy Arnold victory
* Most dominant win in history


The sport's section (page 7) has a one column heading: "Unknown Boy Wins 500m Miles Auto Classic" with subhead. (see)
Other news of the day. Complete with all 16 pages, a few binding slits along the spine, generally nice.

source: Indy 500 drivers: Arnold made only five Indianapolis starts from 1928-32, but his victory from pole position in the 1930 race when he was just 24 years old was the most dominant in this history of the race. Arnold took the lead on the third lap and never relinquished it, winning by a margin of more than seven minutes. His 198 laps led in 1930 still remains the race record.
