Ind., May IS.—An array of distinguished track and field stars will clash here Saturday inside Memorial Stadium in the annual state Intercollegiate track and field championships. A total of 197 athletes will participate in the carnival according to the list released last night by Director Z. G. Clevenger. Among the prominent, athletes entered who have performed some outstanding feats this season are: Della Maria and Riley. Notre Dame sprinters; Elder, Notre Dame athlete who tied the world's indoor 50-yard record last year; Lavelle, well known Irish shot putter; Fields, star Indiana University miler; Rinehart, Indiana University javelin thrower whs won first at the Drake carnival with a heave of 198 feet; Prather, winner of state discus event last season for Indiana; Benzel, Indiana hurdler; Spencer anil Holt.man, Purdue sprinters; Fox, Purdue pole vaulter: Sturtridge. crack DePauw hurdler and field athlete; Connelly, Terre Haute Normal two-miler; Lyons, Franklin pole vyiulter; Schooler. Muncie Normal sprinter; and Phillips, of Butler, holder of the state quartermile record. Notre Dame. DePauw, Butler. Purdue and Indiana University have stood out among Hoosier teams this season. Each should have a chance to capture the meet, although Notre Dame's prestige in the state carnival has held sway for several years. Indiana University's showing the past two seasons makes it a dangerous contender. It captured the southern relays at Atlanta, Ga.. early in the year and placed in the Ohio State and Drake relays. The meet will get underway promptly at 2 o'clock, and is expected to be over in time for the fans to take in the Indiana University-lowa baseball game at 4 o'clock. o ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ BASEBALL STANDINGS « ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ National League W L Pct.

It was the second long-time game; in a week for the Cubs and Braves. ■ Saturday they went 18 innings. Like- ■ wise it was in the same park where’ seven years ago Leon Cadore and. Joe Oeschger earned immortal fame by engaging in a pitching duel which: lasted 26 innings and ended in a 1-1 j tie. Young Bob Smith, Boston pitcher. I earned a hero license as he pitcher. the full route and allowed the Cubs but 20 hits in the trying 22 inning i affair. Three Cub pitchers were i used. Blake. Brillheart and Bob, Osborne. i Babe Ruth slashed out his ninth home run of the season as the Yau-' kees defeated Detroit 9-2. Herb Pennock did the pitching for the NewYork and ran up his string of con-, secutive victories to five. Joe Brown, young pitcher, made. his major league debut for the Chi- i cago White Sox and allowed the first hree men to reach base through two; doubles and a walk. He was jerked, but the Sox were beaten anyway 6-3 by the Red Sox. Ehmke, Rommel and Gray cou'rl, not stem the tide of hits from the i Browns' bats and St. Louis defeated] the Athletics 11-4. O'Neill got a' home-run with the bases loaded. While Lisenbee held Cleveland to four hits and no runs the Senators I hit four pitchers for 16 hits and won! 12-0. Tris Speaker got three singles.] a double and walked out of five tjmes at the plate. Hll and Morrison pitched neap; perfect baseball—allowing Brooklyn only three hits —but the Dodgers won from Pittsburgh 2-1. Vance kept the 1 eight hi’.s he allowed scattered. Philadelphia defeated the Cardinals 4-3 after Alexander had weakened in what appeared to be a pitching duel between the veteran "old Pete” and Jack Scott. — o Fort M ayne Central Defeats Bluffton, 6-3 Four runs scored during a seventhinning rally proved sufficient for the Fort Wayne Central high school Tigers to defeat the Bluffton high school Tigers, in a baseball game at Lincoln Life field. Fort Wayne, Tuesday afternoon. The final score was 6-3. Bluffton took the lead in the fourth inning when a single, an error and a twobase hit drove in two runs. Bluffton increased its lead in the sixth inning, when Schreiber singled and scored on M. Baxter's double. Central scored one run in the last of the sixth. Three errers a base on balls and hit batter accounted for three more Central scores in the seventh. The home team scored another run in the eighth. Bluffton filled the bases in the ninth inning, but failed to score. Doege pitched for Central, striking out seven men and allowing seven hits and four bases on balls. Heller hurled for Bluffton and struck out 10 men, allowed seven hits and issued three passes.

HEAVYWEIGHTS TO MEET TOMORROW Jim Malonev and Jack Shar- | key To Clash In Yankee Stadium New York. May IS—(United Press) Tex Rickard's genius in manufacturing million dollar cates w.ii get its frst real application of the year in the Yankee stadium tomorrow night when the two Boston heavyweights, .1 m Maloney and Jack Sharkey, meet in the first of two bouts intended to lead to a world heavyweight championship niatxii. The winner will meet Jack Dempsey and the survivor will go into the ring early in the fall against the champion. Gene Tunney. Right here the opinion might be expressed that the championship , match will be fought by the same I principles who fought the Sesqui record breaker. Dempsey and Tunney. Maloney looks like the winner tomorrow night and Dempsey ought to beat him when they meet. If Sharkey wins from JJaloney, Dempsey I ought to beat him. The Maloney-Sharkey contest is : not billed as a million dollar attracI t'on but it is a part of a series that i ought to bring in close to three milPon dollars. Rickard expects the gate tomorrow night to be between $100,090 and $500,000 and if the winner should I make a sensational showing—some- ■ thing that isn't to be expected—he 1 would make a million dollar attrac■’,on with Dempsey. Then Dempsey las the winner would pack any stadium in the country. It has been suggested that the ; public would not fall for another match between Dempsey and Tunney I because of suspicions that tire first match was not contested on its merits. Tlere might have been some mild ! protests that would have injured the , gate if Dempsey 'had been tossed hack into the ring without any pre- . liminary trials but Rickard has placed him in the position now where he must prove he is worthy of another chance. R'ckard’s success in getting Demp- ' sey back to work saved his plans for ano'her $2,000,009 heavyweight cham- . pionship show. Sharkey and Maloney aren't colorful and their records are none to im nre.ssive. Without some more steaming up neither would be an attraction against Tunney. who is not the appealing type of killing fighter that . takes the fancy of the public against weak opponents. But with Dempsey involved, the : eliminations are almost certain to I develop in the survivor the necessary popularity. Maicney probably will weight about j 203 pounds tomorrow night and 1 Sharkey says he will be around 188. For all their bulk, neither is a dead|ly puncher, however. Despite all the conversation Sharkey is spilling about what he is go- | ing to do to the "Kitten Hearted Ma--1 loney,” Maloney is a slight favorite in the bettigg. although very little betting is being done. Many of the smart bugs figure the contest to ba a toss up. BASEBALL’S BIG FOUR (By United Press) Babe Ruth again went into the van of the home iun brigade by hitting his ninth four-base blow. He was at bat four times. Tris Speaker had his best day of the season with a double and three singles in four times up. Cobb batted .500 with a single in two attempts. Hornsby could get but a single in four times at bat.
