All drivers who hare not yet qualified cars for the 500-unile automobile speed classic carded at the Indianapolis speedway next Monday, today were like a bunch of school kids taking that last peep at their books on examination day before the teacher orders eyerythlng but a piece of paper and pencil off the top of the desks. Ten drivers, all who are ready for the starter's flag, took • the qualifying test with flying colors yesterday and today "rested pretty,” while their less fortunate brethren spilled huge gobs of perspiration in an effort to whip their mounts into shape for the second opportunity to qualify, which will be .offered tomorrow afternoon. FAST PRACTICE SPINS CARDED. The fact that there were no official time trials carded did not take any color out of today's program. The pilots who were not ready yesterday worked several overtime hours last night and, before hitting the feather, most of them stated that they were ready to tear off a few nractice miles this afternoon, then sit Hack and -wait for tomorrow’s trials, v DePalma’s classy qualifying mark of 09.65 miles per hour has caused quite a bit of talk among drivers who have "their day” coming and it was believed | that many of them would try to get over the mark this afternoon in practice. Wilcox, Gout and Bolllot. the Peugeot fillots. were expected to have their cars n shape for a joy ride today, as they have stated that they will take their j "exams'’ tomorrow afternoon. Then there were the Duesenbergs, | Ralph Mulford’s Special, Rene Thomas' Ballot, and Gregores, all booked for practice spins today. These are all "speed wagons’’ In every sense of the word and railblrds depended on them to offer a real treat. PHYSICAL EXAMS FOR THE PILOTS. Dr. H. R. Allen was also carded for a workout today. His job was to see that the drivers, mechanicians and relief drivers were physically fit for the tough grind ahead of them. The medical examinations were to be held In the press stand this afternoon. Louis Chevrolet would have been the happiest man in the world last night if he just had Arthur out of the Methodist hospital, where he is recovering from in- ; juries received in a smashup with Rene , Thoma Sunday afternoon. The big cause of Louie’s joy was the fact that six members of his MonroeFrontenac seven car team, Including himself, reported for elimination trial yesterday afternoon and had no trouble getting 'across in fine style. The cars designed by Louie surprised the rail birds with their performances, finishing right up near the front of yesterday’s class. KLEIN FIRST TO QUALIFY. Art Klein, driving a Frontenac. was 1 the first driver to qualify doing the re- 1 quired four laps for an average of 92.7 t miles per hour. Louie himself and Joe Boyer, a teammate, turned in two of the liest cards of the day. bePalma's time was the best yeater- | day and he will get the pole in the big • race, regardless of whether his time is bettered in later trials or not, as yester- : day was official trial day. Tommy Milton had his sixteen cylinder Deusenberg out for an exhibition spin yesterday and went around the track several times for an average of 106 miles per honr. .. \ The world's fastest racer will be seen on the oval again Saturday. In the meantime it is on exhibition in the lobby of Keith's theater. Arthur Chevrolet's wrecked Monroe is being groomed for the fTay bv & squad of expert mechanics and probably will I be ready for trial tomorrow. Not one of the drivers who stood the I test yesterday failed to win the ©. k. 1 mark. Taking all facts into consideration, the little speedsters probably are going to j make this year’s race the most exciting' In history. Mayor Charles W. Jewett and W. F. Bradley, foreign representative of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, will be the speakers at the citizens’ lap prize ban-1 quet to be held under the auspices of ! , the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce '• at the Riley room of the Hotel Claypool, j Tuesday, Juno L 6:30 p. m. The subject or Mayor Jewett’s address will be "The Cltisens* Lap Prise,” | while Mr. Bradley will talk upon i "Europe and the Indianapolis 500-Mile Race. ,r Reservations for the banquet are coming In rapidly, and It Is believed that the banquet will be one of the largest ever held in the city. In addition to seats reserved for lap ! prlie subscribers, a limited number of seats has been made available to mem- 1 bers of the Indianapolis Chamber of: Commerce, Hoosler Motor Club, India nap- , oils Merchants association, Indianapolis Live Stock Exchange, Indianapolis Anto- I mobile Trade association and the American club, organizations which gave the citizens’ Jap prize the'r Indorsement and : were active in carrying the project I through to success. The fastest car in the world—the Duesenberg sixteen-cylinder job—will be driven In an exhibition by Tommy Milton, newly crowned speed king, at the speedway Saturday afternoon at 3.30 o’clock.

Edenburn, official representative of the A. A. A. contest board at the local international sweepstakes event. Edenburn, a former local newspaper man, is one of the best posted men in the country on auto racing and racing rules and he seldom has to consult the book to explain a point. He has a wide acquaintance on motor race tracks and among auto men and is a familiar figure at all events where the gasoline wagon Is king.

the speed Milton got out of the canwlth which he broke the world's straightaway record from one to five miles along with the half-mile and kilometer. His best speed was 156.04 miles per hour. Yesterday morning two Duesenberg* were unloaded at the speedway and yesterday afternoon the veteran Eddie Hearne qualified his mount at a speed of 88.04. Eddie O'Donnell’a Job waa ready, but he will drive In the qualifying test Friday along with Tommy Milton and Jimmy Murphy's Duesenberg#, which are scheduled to arrive today. Ralph DePalma's average speed for four laps yesterday was faster than his one lap at a speed of 98.23 miles per hour made In his Packard In the elimination trials last year. Y’eaterday his slowest lap was at 98.1 mile* per hour, while hi# fastest time was a shade under 100 miles per hour. Ray Harroun, winner of the first 500mile race held here In 1911, la a daily visitor at the track. Harroun states that ; the development of cars and tires is wonderful since his racing days. Joe Boyer's wife learned to knit dnr- ; ing the war. Now Joe scurries abomt th® track : clad In a nifty white knitted helmet. He will be sporting it next Mondai when the crack drivers of two continents : dash around the speedway in quest of fame and a slice or the big purse. Joe is "sold” on the woolen headgear. He says it keeps his head clean, as the dust and dirt stays on the surface of the cap and does not penetrate through to the head and scalp.

Evers Is Happy as He Finally Lands Berth With Giants Johnny Attains Life-Long Ambition When McGraw Appoints Him Conch. •y JACK VEIOCK. International News Sport# Editor. NEW YORK, May 27.—Johnny Evers Is as happy as a kid with anew alrgnn. The famous "Little Trojan,” so called because he halls from Troy. N. Y., and Is brimful of the fighting spirit that is so valuable on the ball field, has realized a life long ambition at last—to wear a New York Giants uniform. As coach and assistant manager of the Giants. Evers is in hts element. He Intends td wind up his baseball career with the New York 'lub and It Is whispered along Broadway that he may some day be handed the managerial reins, for McGraw is planning to retire from the ranks of manager and devote his time to the business end of baseball. FAMOUS IN MJERKLE PLAY. Back In the old days when the Cubs and Giants staged their hottest battles j In race* for National league Hags Evers was a Cub. Asa Cub he (ought the ! Giants tooth and nail, and It was none 1 other than the Trojan who was responsible for the loss of the pennant by New York In the waning season of 1968, when he figured In the famous Merkle Incident. Though he has always been arrayed against the Giants In the past F.vers has long been a sincere admirer of John Me Orsw and has waited many years for the j chance that enme to him this spring That he will make good with the New I York club la almost certain Despite hia l temperamental characteristics he Is an • asset to any ball club, and there Is no denying that he ranks as one of the smartest pLayers In the gam today. The signing of Evers puts a quietus to rumors that Christy Mathewson was being groomed to take the managerial reins. Matty himself is getting ready to retire from the game, but he will be retained by McGraw as long as he cares to rej main with the team, for he Is a past master In the art of coaching young ' pitchers and McGraw will never forget ; the things be has done for the New York I club. Evers has been playing big league I baseball for many years and. with the exception of the seasons of 1913 and part j of 1919. his services have always been in demand. In 1918 he was in France for the Knights of Columbus and last year, after signing with the Red Sox. he was asked not to show up 1n uniform by Manager Barrow The differences between Barrow and Evers, It Is saitLon good authority, were purely technical. The" Trejan Joined the Chicago Cubs In 1902. He was only a kid. and did not believe be had a chance to win a regular I berth. But Ever* had both nerve and ability, and soon demonstrated his worth. His iong and successful record speaks : more eloquently than any eulogy that could be written about him. ; West Baden Golf Meet Decided on Last Green WEST RADF.N, Ind. May 27.—With a score that was even throughout the last eighteen holes of play until decided on the last green, Jock Hutchinson of the Glenview club, Chicago, won the open professional tournament at YYest Bsden Springs Wednesday with a score of 310 over Leo Dlegel of the Lfikeshore : Country club.

FIVE CONTESTS FIRST SERIES * TRIBE IS HOME Single Game Saturday, Then Double Headers Both Sunday and Monday, WIND UP AT ST. PAUIi When the Indians return home from their long road trip Friday night they will have no easy task facing them because in their first return series fiv* games are scheduled in three days. The Louisville Colonels will provide the opposition in the program that calls for one game Saturday and double-headers both Sunday and Monday. Jack Hendricks’ pitching staff will be put to the acid test in these games because the pitcher who starts Saturday hardly will be able to reappear during the series, which puts it up to the startHi ing pitcher in each game to struggle through if at all possible. At any rate the Tribesmen -will be glad to return Inasmuch as they have played only seven games on the local lot thjs season and are hardly fully acquainted with tha town folks. Playing the majority of early season games on the road is a handicap to a ball club and loyal fans are anxious to see how their Indians perform in the long run of June contests. Pitcher Paul Jones is scheduled to join the Hoosiers on their return home, whicb will give the team a fairly strong pitching staff. TRIBE STEPS OUT AFTER FINAL ST. PAUL, May 27.—This was straw hat day for the Indians, that is. Hr was to be straw hat day if they defeated the Saints in the last scheduled game of the 6erles. Harry Levinson, Indianapolis hatter and fan, offered the players a brand new straw lid each If they downed the leaders three out of four and, inasmuch as the Tribesmen had two out of three on their belts previous to the contest this afternoon, they were all hopped up with a desire to grab the windup game and thereby save the price of a 1920 summer skypiece. Cavet was the probable choice for Tribe mound duty today, with Rogge as a prospect. In the game yesterday the Indians won ont in a slugging match, 10 to 5, scoring seven runs in the eighth inning. The Saints apparently had the contest sewed up until that eighth inning rally, but after that it was all off insofar as Kelley's gang was concerned. Turner, Flaherty and Cavet each too* a torn on the mfrund, the changes being necessary because of the manner the Saints kept threatening and also because it was cecessarv for Hendricks to try a pinch hitter once. Ralph Shinners, rookie outfielder, subbed for Zwiillng late in the game ana broke into the spotlight by getting two singles in the big e:ghth round. Other# who nit well were Rehg, O'Mara, Covington and Schrelber. Outfielder Emerich, obtained by Indians from the Philadelphia National# early this spring, probably will be, released to the St. Joe club of the Western leagu by Manager Hendricks. Emerich is a sensational fielder and a clever base runner, but he has failed to shew Class AA hitting strength. Th* l Indians still have four gardener# 1 in Kehg. Zwilling, Reilley and Shinners. Both Rehg and Zwilling are improving with the bat. Reilley has been doing ; fair and Shinners is developing every j day. so the team.is fixed in the outfield for the present.
