HOOSIERS SHOW IMPROVED FORM IN FIRST 1920 SERIES WITH THE ASSOCIATION LEADERS

INDIANS COME OUT OF SLUMP AND MOVE UP Tribe Shows It Can Be Done and Saints Are Handed Beating. ST. PAUL. May 25.—Just to prove that it could be done the Indians staged an uprising yesterday and handed the leading St. Paul club a 0 to 3 beating. Asa result of the vietory behind Clint Roggejbe Tribe moved out of the A. A. ■e— ~v and today wts occupying seventh place, leaving eierhth plaee*for the K. C. Blues to flounder iu. -Due to tHe fact that his team really looked like champs in the Paint opener Manager Hendricks was all smiles today and he planned to trot ont Jess Petty for the pitching duties in the second game of the scries. PUTTY ANXIOUS TO TAKE MOUND. Jess has tiwri troubled with boils, but he stated this morning that he would like to take the mound this afternoon if he felt right in practice. In case Petty was unable to perform Flaherty or Turner was to--be used. Hendricks shook up his batting order yesterday and it certainly got results. The Hooslers landed on Dan Grlner's offerings and knocked him out of the box in the first inning. They also got after Williams, who relieved Griner. though it must be said that Williams did manage to check them after the third frame. Hon. A. Duke Reilley was the Tribe leadoff man yesterday and be celebrated his return to the top of the Hoosier batting order bv getting three hits. JACK FINALLY GETS A REST. OUle O'Mara and Tex Covington each came through with three safeties also, which made .tack Hendricks rest mighty easy on the bench. The Tribe scored four runs in the opening round, one in the second and one In the third, while the Saints got their markers in the fourth and fifth. All the Tribe athletes were In high •plrlts following the checking of their slump and they seemed* determined today to step right out after another victory • Three Saint bench warmers, Hargrave, Merritt and Haas, were ejected from the bench by Umps Freeman for "riding" him following a decision the local outfit didn’t like. Manager Kelley used Haas as a pinch hitter in the ninth and though Hendricks protested the umpires allowed the Saint to hit. Winning three out of four from the Saints will mean a 1920 straw hat for each member of the Tribe, according to a telegram received from Vice President Smith last night, harry Levinson, Indianapolis hatter and baseball fan, will donate the "lids" if the team wins three here, according to Smith.

Barney Predicts Fewer Tire Changes in Race, Despite Burning Pace Among those who believe that, with favorable conditions, the 1920 Indianapolis speedway sweepstakes will be driven in record-breaking time, is Barney Oldfield. Oldfield points but that, while It Is perfectly true that automobile engineering has made tremendous stride*, some of the additional speed and endurance is the Jesuit of similar progress by the tire 'makers. • Tlk* American Automobile a=socl at lon wouldn't let me race in the first 590 mile event in X9IT.” recalls Barney, "so I acted as a reporter for a string of papers. "In my advance story 1 predicted that the race would be a battle of the tires. History records that as a good guess. It would have been a good guess about any race that followed, and it is still a good one. though this year 111 not be in the least surprised if the winner should finish without a single tire change "I'm frank to admit that the lighter weight of the cars is going to add to the life of the tires. But don't you for a moment forget that the bo.Ys will have this year better tires than ever before. "I know this is true as the result of my own experiment* on several of the fastest cars at the tra*'k. To me it’s perfectly plain that, with a reasonably cool day, at least one of those cars will be abie to go out there and hit better than ninety, and hold the clip all the way. “Another aid to speed is the SIOO prize up for each lap. That makes the race a series of 209 separate competitions and nobody is going to overlook a reward like that. ‘‘Ninety is my predictioh—ninety or better, and perhaps as fast as ninetytwo.” Big League Stuff Alexander, the Cub star, won his ninth straight game when he blanked the Pbiilies with six bits yesterday. Babe Rnth wan unable to defeat the Tigers single-handed. Khmke allowed two hite, a triple and a single and Ruth got both of them.

Hap Fclsch tied Ruth's record when | he hammered out his sixth homer In the White Sox victory over the A's. I A great catch by Joe Jackson prevented Tilly Walker from making a homer. Joe Bush Is still going strong for the I Red Sox. He easily defeated the Browns ! in the opener at Boston. The Giants won from the Cards by drubbing Ford Sehupp, but lost a pitcher In the shuffle when Art Nehf sprained an ankle. A1 Mamaux gave the Pirates a defeat, allowing but four hits. Kooey’s double accounted for the lone Brooklyn tall}’ that won the game. McQuillan pitched brilliantly for the Braves for six innings and then took up aviation, whereupon the Reds shot him I down. The Detroit Tigers defeated New York, : 3 r to 1. There's a reason. Just before the game Manager Hugbie Jennings rej eeived a tiger’s claw, meant to be a "luck * token,” from Georges Clemenceau, former premier of France. Today Hughle Is a ; firm believer in luck tokens. Lotick Cops Shortridge Individual Track Honors The Shortridge Juniors walked off with ! the Blue and White lnterclass track and ' field meet at Willard park yesterday afternoon with a total of 58 points. Lynn Lotick, Junior, proved himself the best all-around track athlete In school, taking three firsts and one second for a total of 18 points. Nichols.

BOXING NEWS AND GOSSIP

NEW YORK BACK ON RING MAP NEW YORK, May 25.—Boxing came back into its own in New YoTk state today for the first tune since the Frawley ! law went out of existence several years j ago. ; Gov. Alfred Smith, in signing the Walker bill, brought the game back to a plane it has not enjoyed since tlie old Horton law days, for the Walker bill provides fifteen-round bouts to a decision. Under the Frawley law ten rounds was the limit and no decisions could be rendered. Boxing fans throughout the Empire state, and particularly in New York City, are now enjoying visions of many championship bouts. The legalizing of boxing means that the Carpentier-Levinsky battle is most likely to be staged in Gotham by Jack Curley. Under the new law everyone connected with a boxing show will be licensed, even the seconds. Five ounce gloves will be used by all boxers up to and including lightweights. Boxers over that weight will use six ounce mittens. The state will collect a 5 per cent tax and the game will be ruled by a commission of three members. The Walker hill contains many clauses aimed at safeguarding the game. There is an age limit for both patrons and contestants. Unfair matches will be prevented by its provisions and ticket scalping win be curbed. Johnny Wilson and Mike O’Dowd in a return battle for the middleweight championship. or Benny Leonard and Lew

HANDLING BIG RACE CROWD IS GIGANTIC TASK Thousands Attending Speedway Classic Assured of Convenience and Protection. Constant thought for the proper care and convenience of the people who attend the race Is one of the big elements in the success of the Indianapolis Motor speedway. The rich purse offered and the consequent attraction of the world’s greatest drivers and cars makes a sporting event unparalleled In history, but with all of these the 500-tnlle' race would not bring out more than 75J000 visitors from all parts of the world year after year if the crowds did not go flsvay satisfied. The great problem in caring for a crowd of this size 1s to give everyone plenty of elbow room and at the same time keep the army <\f men, women and children organized In an orderly manner. Probably no other sporting or amusement park In the world has devoted so much attention to detail In handling crowds as the management of the Indianapolis Motor speedway. Each year additional improvements are

added to give the speeuway throng a pleasant holiday, comfortable as it is thrilling. Co-operation of the city and county officiate; and railroads and lnterurbans makes the speedway easy of access. There is practically no congestion considering the thousands of motor cars and pedestrians that flow into the grounds on the day of the race. The grounds are adequate In size and the tunnels and bridges and roadways have been designed to make it possible for the hordes of people to move about at their convenience without Interfering with the rights of others or the race Itself. This year anew overhead bridge has been erected on the north side of the track, which will permit direct entrance to the speedwny grounds by those who go out on Thirtieth street. It will also fee a decided factor in eliminating congestion aftet- the race is over, particularly a>t the old we6t gate. The * new stretch of Sixteenth street from Indiana avenue to the White river bridge will also be completed and will be of material assistance in relieving the traffic on the present route past the Indianapolis waterworks and along White river up to the bridge. Maj. Carpenter has arranged for a large number of former service men for ?uards throughout the grounds and spectators will be afforded the very best protection throughout the day. , The speedway time trials for next Monday's race probably will start Wednesday afternoon and though many of the cars are still lacking proper tuning up I it is thought that at least three will atI tempt the qualifying testa the first day.

In order to qualify for the race this year a car must register an eighty-mile an hour pace for four successive laps. Eddie Edenburn, former Indianapolis newspaper man, who ts the officjpl American Automobile association representative for the Indianapolis event, is in the city awaiting the official trials. It is thought that DePalma, Chassagne and probably Goux will qualify Wednesday. Barney Oldfield, former master driver, took his “Gold Bug” around the course ,yesterday for a few laps. Waldo Stein will pilot the car in the big race, but Barney put himself at the wheel yesterday In order to obtain immediate knowledge on what the racer needs to be put in readiness at once. A. Chevrolet was reported still improving today at the Methodist hospital following his accident Sunday at the track. His car will be driven in the race by Bennie Hill. Ralph DePalma spent another busy afternoon on the track Monday and at the I pace he is setting there's no doubt but that he will be the big favoaite in the race. Red Pat in Trouble CINCINNATI.
