TIME TRIALS TO START THURSDAY Track Record At Indianapolis Expected To Fall In Qualifying Trials Indianapolis. Ind, May 25—Mercury, the old god of speed, will be just a timid cake eater of the past when the 1 hoys who worship gasoline take a 1 tall out of time Thursday afternoon in qualifying trials for the Fifteenth International 500-mile race which will be 1 held at the Indianapolis Motor Speed- ' way next Monday. Never before in the history of the 1 International race has there been more 1 tense expectation of speed as the elimination trials approach. With forty- 1 one cars entered and only thirty-three of them permitted to start—the 33 it naturally— there will be a bull- ‘ dog fight on tite track for the right , to even go to the tape for the big rush for the important prize money of approximately SIOO.OOO. Ftank Lockhart, last year's winner. ' holds the record for the fastest lap on j the local course, negotiating it at a . speed of 115.59 miles an hour, official- ] Iv timed and accepted as correct by the American Automobile Association. ( This year he has unofficially travelled better than 120 miles an hour for a full lap and Leon Duray and Peter De Paolo have looped the oval at 119 miles an hour, the average being supplied by rivals holding stop watches < and they are just as critical as the electrical timing device that records the official attempts. Numerous other ( drivers have been running at 116. 117 and 118 miles an hour. So it seems that there will be not only a rush for the front row positions tile drivels lining up at the start of the . race according to the quick time they make in the trials, but in the rear ranks foi the mere light to start the race. Eight of she cars entered cannot start because tlie AAA permits only one car for each 400 feet of track. The minimum qualifying speed is 90 miles an hour for ten miles or four laps though that minimum speed will have little or nothing to do with the trials Thursday as that will be horse and shay gait among the pilots here for the big drive.

Eddie Edenburn, American Automobile Association contest board representative, has arrived here with his twenty-six pound black bag which is a travelling racing office ready to run the trials. He is the man who “runs the i ace" from a rules standpoint and he is a Solomon and Simon Legree combined. He weighs 112 pounds including his cigar stub which is present in a slight detour in the left corner of hil lower lip but he stands many -a 250 pound driver back on his heels with his decisions. When Thursday night arrives it seems likely that somebody will have turned a lap in one minute and either twelve or thirteen seconds. There are many bets of this type among the ■drivers and mechanics who are, as usual. at a veriance of opinion. Leon Ihiray qualified faster than anybody else when he drove four laps at 113.11 miles an hour, but it appears his record for ten miles will fall. o ♦ WATCHING THE SCOREBOARD ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ (By United Press) Yesterday's hero — Dressen of the Cincinnati Reds accomplished twothirds of the season's first triple play in a game with Pittsburgh. With the bases full, Dressen, w'ho plays third, caught Warner's liner, stepped on the base, forcing Harris',’ and then threw to Critz at second for the third out. Unluckily, the triple play which came in the second inning, failed to stop the scoring rampage of the Pirates and Pittsburgh won, 11-1. A triple, two doubles and two singles bunched in the fifth by Brooklyn resuted in four runs and ultimate defeat of Philadelphia. 6-5. George Uhile, Cleveland mound star, lost his usual effectiveness in the fourth inning of yesterday’s game. When the inning was over, the Detroit Tigers had put across four runs. The final score was Tigers, 6; Indians 3. Rain caused postponement of other major league games. _O Greensburg—The annual re-union of McGuffeyites will be held here. June 4 and 5.

Fast Entries Listed For Funk’s Races With entries already for Detroit, Chicago, Indianapolis and a number of other cities, all indications point toward unrivaled speed at the Memorial Day Auto races at Funks Speedway, Winchester. It is predicted that many records which have been established there in other years will be lowered. The sanction of the American Automobile Association will add much to the event in that the track will be ruled by A. A. A. representatives. Shorty Cantion. of Detroit is one of the late entries. He is considered the dirt track champion of Michigan. He has not been seen on the Winchester track for several seasons, but has been cleaning them up on other courses with his 183-inch Frontenac He is expected toi show some great speed at Winchester, May 30.
