De Paolo Wins Auto Race At Altoona. Pa. Spppdway, Altoona. Pn M June 13 In a Hpeciaciikii lace marred by two accidents Peter De Paolo captured the 2iio mile championship auto classic heie Saturday. Harry Hartz was second. two laps behind the leader, and far ahead of Tony Gulatto. who was third. De Paolo's time was 1:43:56 8-10, an aveiage speed of 116.57 miles an hour By virtue of bis victory De Paolo won $7,000 as first prize money. Hartz won $3,600 for second place and Gulatto won $2.000. Othens to finish were Eddie Hearne, fourth; “Babe” Stapp, fifth. Cliff Woodbury, sixth; Al Melcher. seventh. Leon Duray, eighth, and and Dave Evans, ninth. These were all that finished of a field of 16. De Paolo took the lead on the sixtieth lap and was never headed thereafter. He drove a steady race, but he took second place largely because of hard luck that befell Leon Duray. The Frenchman was in secend place with hut five laps to go when engine trouble forced him to go to the pits. Hartz then swept into second position ami clung to it. George Souders, winner of the Indianapolis classic, was forced to abandon his plans to enter the race here by a broken piston. o BASEBALLS BIG FOUR (By United Press) Babe Ruth's twenty-first home run of the season put him three days and three home runs ahead of his 1921 record-making year.

The still start is m good. Now what ate the best ways to get into the fastest hitting stroke. If you prepared to jump you would first havt to do something with your feet or bend your knees. It you are going oft a springboard you must go with the hoard. These are just rough examples of what I mean, and there are many more. I can only explain the best ways to get into the fastest hitting stroke j by telling yen how 1 get this accented beat with which to stait the music of the stroke. Rhythm counts most at the ball. It saves you from forcing the clubhead through the ball, and 1 am talking now of when the ball is hit. But before you take the elubhead up en the back stroke, do some of these things. Imagine a line running up from the center of the ball to the zenith, and then be sure to keep the hands even with or back of this imaginary line. A golf shot, to he good, must let the clubhead hit against the ball instead of shoving agaist it. Be very careful to get the clubface at right angles with an imagiary line beginning a few inches behind the ball and passing through it to the hole. Don't under any condition force the club through the ball. T'.ie blade must lie naturally and send the I ball according to its loft, and it is well ; to believe that the manufactuer knew his business in making the loft correct. The motion of the swing must be continuous, beginning with a sandpaper- ; ing, vibratory movement. This vibiai tory movement is a very fine thing t; acquire, for without perfect ryh'm frcm the very start it is impossible to make a good shot. (Copyright John F.

Root.) pitching for the Chicago Cubs went in in the eighth inning when Hal. Carlson, recently obtained from the. Phillies was in distress, stopped a Giant rally, and knocked one of the blows which won for the Cubs, 7-6. ■ and brought them within a game and a half of the league leading Pittsburgh Pirates. Those tumbling Pittsburghers ‘-tumbled over the Brooklyn Robing, for the second day in a row, and lost out again in the late innings. The score was 11-10. Relief hurler Norman Rlitt plunked out a single in the eighth bringing in the one run needed for Brooklyn’s victory. I When Centerfielder Welsh caught a ball which dribbled out of Rightfielder Richbourg's mitt, he stemmed a rally b‘y the Cincinnati Reds and his tram, the Boston Braves won. 4-1. There were two on base, and the ball hit by Critz was a long one which might have tied up the game for the Reds. Lester Bell hit a homer in the last of the ninth, with Holm on base, and that home run gave the St. LouisCardinals a win over the faltering Phillies, by a 5-4 score. Mokan of the Phils got five hits in five times at bat. Despite Bailie Ruth’s 21st home run 1 of the season, the New York Yankees took a drubbing from the Cleveland Ind ans. 8-7. Ruth’s homer was made off George Uhle, who relieved Willis Hudlin in the fifth inning, and allowed only three hits beside the homer. The Tigers made it five straight by beating the Boston Red Sox 11-10. Three singles in a row in the 10th stanza, after .Boston had tied the i ’ I score in the ninth spelled victory for the Detroit club. "Horace” Lisenbee, of the Washington Senators held the Chicago Wh'te Sox to five hits while his mates were collecting 15. The SenaI tors were winners by a 6-1 score. o gMM*. 1/ < * > *** .

MRS. LINDBERGH IS INTERVIEWED Mother Os Famous Aviator Has Little To Say To Reporters’ Inquiries New York, June 13. — (UP) — Mrs. Evangeline Lodge Lindbergh gave three "interviews” within 15 minutes today. 1 Newspapermen surrounded her beI tore she went to an appointment to rest for the day's activities and pressI ed her for a statement. i "I don't know what to say." she told them. * Shortly after that evidence of garrulity. Mrs. Lindbergh was prevailed upon to receive the press once more. • "It's wonderful,” she said. "I enjoyed Washington tremendously. ] do not ki) wn what my plans in New York, are to be. They are in the hands of the committee." • .She then withdrew. | After Mrs. Walker arrived nt the Frazee apartment. Mrs. Lindbergh consented to a three-minute interview. I “Will you answer a few questions?" she was asked. 11 I "You may ask them, but whether I will answer is a question in itself,", she replied. . | “Have you any ideas as to what you would like your son to do?" ask- ( cd a reporter. “I have not,” she said. ; “What are your plans for the future and will what your son does affect them?” I “Not in the least,” she said. “I i have already signed a contract to I teach for another year.” ( “Would you like to fly with your 1 son?" i “I have flown with him a good many times," she said, smiling. “But I have t never crossed the Atlantic.” “Can you pilot a plane?" “Yes, I can pilot a plane, but not very well." “Did you want your son to lie an aviator?” “You had better ask him." “Do you want to fly to San Diego with him?” j “I have not been asked.” “Did your son bring you anything from Europe?" I “1 have not seen anything.” Mrs. Lindbergh then was asked if she had any message for the women of New York. She smiled and said: "I think they are the finest women there are.” Mrs. Lindbergh then joined Mrs. Walker in another room. j Under motorcycle es»or:, an automobile carrying Mrs. Lindbergh and Mrs. Walker left the Frazee apart-1 ment for city hall where thousands cheered the flier's mother. A short turn to the battery and back brought even more applause from the waiting throng. After the return to city hall, Mrs. i Lindbergh was escorted into the mayor’s office where she met the smiling “Jimmy.” Later Mrs. Lindbergh added one more line to her series of interviews. She and Mrs. Walker had been driven to Pier A at the battery to meet the | incoming hero. “I'm having a wonderful time,” she said. “I’m not a bit excited.” William H. Wooten, chairman of the mayor’s finance committee for the reception, was Mrs. Lindberg’s personal escort. .1 ___2 o PLANS COMPLETE FOR FARM TOUR (COXTIMED FI<OM PAGE OXE) i farm.

Fuestel said this morning that, in ( -;re op. ration M the line continued, it would b" necessary to expend about $5.000 for new tics and that new trolley wire would have to be • instated, at a cost of about $1,200 per mile. He said the hue had been maintained in safe condition, but no new t'es had been bought and installed this year, due to the intention of the company to file a petition I for authority to abandon the line. The cars are in first class condition, he said. The traction company wishes to .leave the tracks lay on North Second -treet in the city of Decatur, Mr. ' Fuestel said. He also stated that the company desired to leave the street in good condition and would be willing to roll asphalt into tjie lirl.s around the rails. J. Fred Fruchte, city attorney, stated that he 'thought such an arrangement would be satisfactory to the city. He sa’tl ail that the city asked was that the '-treet be left in good condition. Mr. Fuestel said that if necessary, the company would remove the rails, leave the ties beneath the -pavement and fill the holes with asphalt. Orf'y a small number of persons attended the hearing this morning. Mr. Mathews stated before be left the city that the Public Service Commission probably would not issue its decision on the petition before three or four weeks. In case the commission issues a decision granting the traction line authority to abandon the line, which appears highly probable, the commission will set a date for the company to cease operation. o Miss Gretchen Kocher has arrived home from DePauw University at Greencastle, to spend-the summer witn her parents.
