of 22 games the past two years. I The “re-vltallzcd ” Indians clubbed their way to a 11-3 triumph over the Tigers yesterday, scoring 10 runs in the fourth inning. Earl Averill’s homer with Bolters on base started this rally. .Johnny Allen, who made his first start since drawing a $25 tine for delaying a game, held the Tigers to 7 hits. I Hill Dickey's double in the fifth drove in the run by which the Yankees trimmed Washington, 3-2. Johnny (grand ma) Murphy had to come to Monte Pearson’s rescue in the eighth to save the game. Joe DiMaggio hit homer No. 2. Shelling three pitchers, Kelly. Smith and Williams, for 16 hits, the Boston Bed Sox pummelled the Athletics, 13-1. Gene Desautels had a perfect day, “4 for 4” and Hen Chapman and Joe Vostnlk got three hits apiece. Johnny Marcum yielded only seven hits. Pinkly Higgins tied a major league record by committing four errors at third base, but scored three runs and made two hits to atone for them. Cliff Melton survived a stormy eighth inning to pitch the New York Giants to their 11th straight triumph over Brooklyn. 7-4. It was Melton's fourth straight victory. The Giants continued their longdistance clouting with Ripple. Leiber and Jo-Jo Moore hitting homers. They've now hit 18 homers in 13 games. Ripple was felled by one of Ruck Marrows pitches in the eighth but after being carried off the field was pronounced only slightly injured. Joe Medwick's homer with Slaughter on base was the big punch which enabled the St. Louis Cardinals to beat the Cubs. 63. All the Cubs’ runs off Lon Warneke were homers, two by Kip Collins and one by Erank Demaree. • Hill Lee's one bad inning jinx, tripped him again as he went into the eighth leading, 3-2. and blew it. Cincinnati made it three in a row

44 ENTERED IN SPEEDWAY MCE Forty-Four Entries Received To Date For 500-Mile Race Indianapolis. May 3 (U.R> Forty tour entries had been received today for the 26th running of the uOtl-mlle Memorial Day race on Muy 3(Mh. The deadline for filing entries I expired at midnight and none will be eligible unless postmarked before midnight Monday. T. E. (Pop) Myers, general manager of the speedway, said lie expected several more would arrive in the mails. Entered this year are five former winners of the annual racing classic Wilbur Shaw, 11)37 victor and all time record holder; Louis Meyer, winner in 11)36, 1933. and 1928; Kelley Pettllo. 1935; Wild Bill Cummings, 1934, and Fred I Frame. 1932. In addition entries have been I received from such speed stars as Rex Mays. Glendale, Cal ; Tony Gulotta. Detroit; Mauri Rose, Columbus. ().: Jimmy Snyder, 'Chicago; Ted Horn, Los Angeles; Ronny Houszholder. Los Angeles; i Russ Snowberger, Wilmington, Del. and Herb Ardinger, Pittsburgh. The American pilots were assured yesterday of foreign competition when Tazio Nuvolari, Italy's champion, cabled his entry. It will be the first time since 1930 that a foreign driver has tried for laurels on the famed two and a half mile ■ brick oval. Os the 44 entries received to date only 33 can qualify at trials to be held later this month. Each driver must whirl around the oval for 10 laps 25 miles —at an average speed better than 110 miles an hour. Several drivers already have (hundred around the track at better than 120 miles an hour. Yesterday Rex Mays turned one lap at better titan 125. Bill Cummings has touched that mark as has Billy i Winn. o Today's Sport Parade By Henry McLemore ♦ ♦ Louisville. Ky., May 3.— (U.R) — Things you may or may not know about the derby: only 11 times in 63 runnings have the favorites fin- ' ished outside the dough—33 favorites have wou the famous race. 13 have finished second and five third . . . This makes the derby one of the most formal of ail classics. Two of the greatest colts the east sent after the derby roses were Display and Pompey . . . Display finished 10th and Pompey was also unplaced . . . No horse whose name began with "1,” ”N,’’ “Q,” “U,” “X” or “Y” has ever won the derby . . . The “B” horses lead with 10 winners, due largely to R. E. Bradleys fetish for giving his horses names beginning with “B.” Regret won in 1915 and became the first and last filly ever to score . . . Nellie Flag went to the post favortie in 1935 and finished fourth . . . she was the last filly to bo seriously considered by the customers . . . Matt J. Winn has been running Churchill Downs since 1904 and enjoys the unique distinction of having seen every derby. Winn's office at the track is filled with bronze replicas of all the derby winners ... on the day of the big race he entertains celebrities with specially concocted mint juleps in frozen glasses . . - They tall the track Churchill Downs because the property was owned by two brothers, John and Henry Churchill . . . two unlucky bettors it is better known as Churchill tips and downs. Pari-mutuel betting is popularly supposed to be modern but the machines, in modified manner, were used at the first derby ever inn in 1875 . . . Old timers still maintain that the derby of 1889 in which Spokane defeated Proctor Knott was the daddy of ’em all for thrills . . . Winn says more than 10.000 were on hand to see the first derby . . . “It has always been a popular race," he adds. Exterminator now ranks as one of the greatest derby winners, yet if his stable companion, Sun Briar, hadn’t gone amiss just before the race he wouldn’t even have started .. • Sometimes even the men closest to the horses do not fully ' realize their possibilities . . . Two years ago Max Hirsch said Bold Venture would do well to finish second to Brevity ... it was just the other way round . . - Brevity finished second to Bold Venture. Omar Khayam was the first imi over the Pittsburgh Pirates, winning 8-6. The Reds flayed Cy Blanton for seven hits in 4% innings to pile up a tig lead. Ray Benge, who went to Johnny Van Dornieer’s rescue in the ninth, halted a 4-run rally. Ival Goodman hit two homers, giving him the majoi league lead with five. Yesterday’s hero: Joe Medwick, ; Cards’ outfielder, whose first hornI er of the season enabled his club to break a 3-3 tie and throttle the , Cubs, 6-3.

FEDERAL AGENT DIES OF WOUND (■•Man Fatally Shot In Gun Battle, One Bandit Is Slain Danville, 111., May 3—(UP)—William 11. Ramsey, 34, Peoria G-Man, died at a hospitail today of bullet wounds received near Penfield yesterday in a gun battle with a bank robbery suspect. The suspect, Joe Earlywlne, was killed. His 7-year-old son, Virgil, and state policeman W. A. Stammutli, also were wounded. Ramsey. Frank Jessup and Harry Woltz, all of the Peoria office of the federal bureau of identification, | went to the Earlywine farm near j Penfield, 111., to arrest Earlywine, I Frank Stefler and John Huellett, wanted for questionlDg about robberies in Indiana and Illinois. Huellett was seized in a field, j Stefler was arrested later at his home. The officers said they found ■ Earlywine in bed and that he opI i ned fire when the agents entered. Bullets whizzed about the little house. The child was struck by a stray bullet fired by hte father. Physicians said the bullet merely grazed his chest and that his condition was not serious. Ramsey was wounded in the abdomen and both arms. He was given two blood transfusions at the Lakeview hospital. Mrs. Earlywine, the mother of two children, Stefler and Huellett were held at the county jail. The federal agents were accompanied to the house by Sheriff Harry George, deputies Robert Meade, A. R. Swank and Rudolph Merlie and Illinois and Indiana state police. While the agents and George went inside, the others surrounded the house. Earlywine leaped out I of bed when the G-men and George entered. “I’ve got you covered,” he shout- ! ed. "The firing started immediately.”

1 George said. "Ramsey fell and a bullet strnck Jessup's wallet, carried in his hip pocket, as he entered the room through another door. The bullet went on to strike the Earlywine boy. By that time I the deputies had come in and the ; shooting was over. It only lasted a few moments." J. Edgar Hoover, chief of the G-men, announced at Washington that Earlywine had been sought . specifically for a $5.45 holdup near Lapel, Ind. Department records 'showed that Earlywine was sen- ! fenced In 1921 to a one to elght- ■ year term at Frankfort, Ind., for chicken theft. The following year ha was acquitted of a rape charge. He served terms in the state re- ’ formatory at Pendleton, Ind., for grand larceny and at the state prison at Michigan City, Ind., for conj spiring to commit a felony. Justice department officials said Huellett probably would be turned over to Indiana authorities to ' face charges of bank robbery at
