ANOTHER FOREIGN SPEED TEAM FILES ENTRY FOR INDIANAPOLIS MOTOR CLASSIC MAY 31
PORPORATO TO LEAD GREGOIRE RACING SQUAD Former Sunbeam Star Named as Latest 500-Mile Speedway Entry. TO BRING OTHER PILOTS It won announced at the Motor Speedway office today that a cable had been received from Paris telling of the entry of the Gregoire racing team in the 500mile race here May 31. Jean Porporato, former Sunbeam racing star, wilt head the Gregoire delegation. the other members of the team remaining unannounced, though it Is reported that Porporato is dickering with certain members of the Italian Fiat racing camp to fill out his band. HAS RACED HERE BEFORE. Porporato is not a newcomer to America. having competed on this side of the water in lfilo ard 1910, under the cross of St. Andrew and St. George. His best performance was in the Inaugural event on the Chicago speedway, now dismantled, in which he finished second. Porporato plans to sail for America at once, in order to go through a period of training at the Indianapolis track prior to the contest. His mounts are said to be of entirely novel construction, different from anything ever seen on the Hoosier tracks, and he is looked upon as a favorite by the European dopesters who have been following his progress. CARS STAND RIGID TEST. In the preliminary tests, the engines of Porporato’* speed creations attained tetter than 100 horse power. With Porporato and his associations to complicate the situation, the problem of picking a winner in the next Hoosier international assumes a distinctly opaque aspect. So little is known of the new fliers that will be used In this year's event, due to the fact that they were all built to the speedway’s new racing rules and none of them has had a workout on the bricks of 'the celebrated track to date, that the dope artists are groping entirely in the dark and waiting for the training period that will soon be inaugurated to provide them with some enlightenment.

TITULAR RACES CLOSE CARNIVAL Track Fans Have Big Day at Penn Relays. PHILADELPHIA. Mnv la—Fourteen titular events and n host of contests of lesser importance wore on the schedule In the Penn relay carnival here today. Clear weather prevailed and, although Franklin field was still soggy as a result of Friday’s drizzling rain, early indications pointed toward a fast track thl* afternoon. . . . The performances of the first day of the relays, which resulted in the crown lug of a number of new champions and the breaking of several records, led ‘o the prediction that more marks would be shattered before sundown tonight. WATCH EFFORTS OF ENGLISHMEN. The efTorts of the Camden-Oxford candidates in today's events was to be watched with especial Interest.

The 100-yard event was another rnce thnt promised the hottest kind of competition. The new pentathlon champion, Everett L. Bradley of Kansas university, was the object of interesting discussions among athletic devotees today. It was a curious fact that Bradley who apparently lacks the brilliance of some former champions failed to capture a first place In any of the pentathlon events. He won second in the broad Jump. Javllin and 200-meters rnn; third In the discuss and fourth In the 1,500-meter race. The failure of Bartels of Pennsylvan’a and Yount of Redlands to do better than they did in the titular event was surprising to many of the "experts.’’ J. M. Watt of Cornell won almost as he willed yesterday in the 440-yard low hurdles, when he captured the event in 54 1-5 seconds, anew world's, record. The former record was 54 3-5 seconds, FIRST OLYMPIC REWARDS. ANTWERP.

Around the A. A. I —WITH EDDIE ASH— If the Indians brace and continue winning they will earn enough money to get a hair cut when they return home. From the manner in which tho Indians played yesterday it is evident they do not care to wear the A. A. overalls. Strange things happen in baseball. Mike Kelley, Indianapolis boy with Toledo, was worried this spring over the condition of his throwing arm and feared be would have to retire from the game. But behold, "Our Mike” Is now starring as a first sacker for the Hens. This being May day, Jack Hendricks hoped someone would plant a pendant bomb under bis Indians and hoist them up a few more notches. It look* a* if there is a plot on In the league to force the Hoosier* to don the brown derby. Hendricks, Covington and Schreiber have been given the gate by ihe nmps already. Jack Hendricks will know all about grand stands this year. His suspension still has another week to run. So many of the Indians saw service during the war that when they get on the bail field they evidently think the war is still on. Well, the war is still on. The United States and Germany haven’t settled it diplomatically yet, so why blame the Indians'.’ Ham Hyatt. Toledo first baseman last season, but one of the several holdouts this spring, has Joined the Hens. Hyatt was obtaiued last year from the New York Americans. He has requested that Roger Bresnahan sell him to some Pacific Coast league club. The players on the voluntarily retired list of the Kansas City club make up a classy club In themselves. Here they are: Roy Jenkins, Hoke Warner, Mickey LaLonge, Beals Becker, Herb Hall, George Cochrane, E. Monroe. John Beall, Joe Benz, C. Hoff, F. Lamllne, E. Blackburn. J. Onslow, George Pierce, C. Berry and Murphy Currie. Ownle Bush, prld* of this city's rast side, who went to the Detroit Tigers from the Indianapolis pennant winners of 1907, Is being mentioned in a rumored swap between the Tigers and the St. Louis Browns. The Detroit club offered Ben Dyer to St. Paul before It shipped him to Toledo, but Mike Kellev had landed Goldie Rapp and declared himself satisfied. Raop has been playing great ball for the Saints, but for that matter Dyer hasn't done so bad with Toledo. The Kansan City Blues now hare three Sitcbers obtained through the good oloes of the St. Louis Cardinals. They are BUI Bolden. Leon Ames and Frank Woodward. Bolden and Woodward go as part payment for Jesse Haines. Ames was a free agent, but Branch Rickey negotiated for him to Join the Blues. Bruno Haas, St. Paul outfielder, dislocated a shoulder when he crashed Into the fence In the Saint-Kansas City game yesterday. He was after u fly and. though he made the catch, he will be our of the game a short time. Ed Miller, rookie, pitched the Brewers to a shutout victory over the Millers.

Clint Rogge was in excellent form and scored a 5 to 0 victcory, hi# mates giving him faultless support and also backing him up with timely hit#. Rogge allowed only five safeties, though he was aided by good fielding, especially by Shlnner# and Zwllllng. In the eighth Shinners caught a drive from Turner's bat that wa# headed for the fence, Bescher was on base at the time. The youthful Tribe outfielder made a diving catch and when he came up with the sphere the fans were forced to give him a hand. The Indians knocked Joe Willi# oot of tiie box In the second inning, scoring four runs. Lefty George relieved Joe and held the Tribe off until the ninth, when they pushed over a fifth marker. Schreiber was ordered ont of the game in the first inning when he protested the umps' decision on a play at first base. Smith then went to the short field and put up a good game. Butch Henllna was assigned Gossett’s place behind the bat and he not only delivered there but he was the hitting star of the game with a double and two singles. The veteran Gossett has not shown anything this Feason and his .work has proved a handicap to the success of the team. TECH NINE LOSES.
