BIG TASK FOR LOCAL BOYS IN TRACK FINALS Manual, Shortridge and Tech Thinlies Face Real Opponents at Franklin. OFFICIAL ENTRY LIST By HEZE CLARK. When the best high school athletes from nil parts of Indiana gather at the Franklin College athletic field Saturday, for the annual State high school track and field meet, the Indianapolis thinly clads from Manual, Technical and Shortridge will have some real opponents. Records made in the other nine district meets Indicate that there are some remarkable track and field stars in the other high schools of the State this In the ten sectional meets last week, athletes from 120 high schools competed but in no sectional was there so many schools represented as at Kouth Bend, where the meet was held on the fast cinder track of Notre Dame University. There were nineteen teams in that sectional, and as the result the winners of first or second place in any event in that sectional are sure to be of such class that they should win points in the State meet. babo of the South Bend High School was the champion all-around man at the South Bend sectional. He captured the 100-yard and 220-yard dash events, and also won the''broad Jump. While the time in the dash events were not as fast j as that made by Gray of Technical in i the Indianapolis sectional, still, there was a good reason why Sabo's time should : be slower. John Zuver Jr., well known' aport writer, who witnessed the track; meet in South Bend, states that all the dashes were run against a stiff wind. This, of course, slowed the sprinters. Coy of Tipton and Payne of Fairmont were the best dash men ol the Anderson- sectional. Stamateff" of Warsaw, running in the South Bend sectional, stepped his 440 yards in 53 2-5 seconds, while Evans of Elkhart was a good second. To he sure, this is far from equaling the recordbreaking time made by Lotick of Shortridge High School on the local track. Lotick's time of SO 9 10 seconds is one of the most remarkable performances for a high school boy in recent years. LOCAL HURDLERS HAVE EDGE. „ _ .. Mills of Warsaw and Foster of South Bend were the best hurdlers of the Northern Indiana meet, but their time was very alow, compared to that made in Indianapolis. . _ _ Slater of Mishawaka, Jones of Rolling Prairie, and Weeks of South Bend, ail tied in the high jump in the Northern Indiana meet, and their work was the •ame as that made by the Noblesville! athlete in the Indianapolis meet. Miller of Anderson in the sectional meet at Anderson did three Inches higher than either the northern Indiana athletes or the No- | blesville Jumper in the high Jump, but repotts from Greencastle indicate that Brazil High School has a high Jumper j who mav break a State record Sib lev'of Emerson High School at Gary a'nd Koontz of Plymouth, tied In the up-State meet at the same height made by the* Harmeson brothers of Manual in the meet in this city in the pole vault. Miller of Anderson made a better record than any of these. Holgarth of Tipton has a good chance to win the shotput, having made better than tl feet. Sluss of South Bend is a ; foot behind that mark. Summers of j Manuel also is good in that event. It would seem that there are many half-mile stars this year. Baker of Fair- j mont steps that distance in 2 minutes and 9 seconds. But Cox of Plymouth Is ' a distance man who will cause them all to step out. At South Bend, Cox won the half in 2 minutes and 9 seconds after running the mile in 4 minutes and 4*12-5 seconds. Makepeace of Anderson won the mile at the Anderson sectional in good time. ... . . Os course. Herman Phillips, the Rusbville High School star, is picked by critics as the winner of the mile. He won it last year and came within two seconds of tbe State record held by Trotter, which record was made a few years ago. However, Phillips knows that be win meet a faster combination of distance men than he ever ran against. Stewart, the Manual star who Phillips defeated in the Invitational meet at Franklin a few week* ago, has improved. He ran the mile in 4 minutes and 4ft seconds, but was forced to make that time to beat Weidenharn, th* Technical distance star. GARDNER GOOD

I>- HALF-MILE. Gardner, th® colored hslr-niil® runner from Manual, covered tba BSO yards In 2 minutes 44 5 seconds last week. winnine over the speedy Lewis of Technical. While both Manual and Technical have well-balanced track teams to send to Franklin for the State meet, those schools will meet other well-balanced track teams. Frankfort, Anderson. Crawfords▼ille (one time winner of the State meet), Bedford, and the two Terre Haute high schools, Wiley and Garfield, are ail strong. Led by that wonderful allaround athlete, Paul Ridge, Connersville High school has a well-balanced team. In the qne-mile relay, the Manual team of this clly will meet strong opponents In Falrmount Academy and Emerson High school of Gary.

McAuliffe Thinks FrencJue Anything But Fit for Battle Says Georges Must Train and Fight on Nothing But His Nerve. By JACK McArLITTE. ‘ Retired Undefeated Lightweight Champion, (Copyright, 1921, by the United Press.) MANHASSET, L. 1., May 19.—Georges Carpentier looks haggard, drawn, weary and, what we call lu the parlance of the ring—“baked." He looks five years older than he did when he made his first trip over here last summer. His general appearance and attitude impressed me as one who has lost interest in his work and thinks: “I wish it were all over.” The Frenchman hardly has had -a rest In ten years. He has been burning up energy since he was, 20 years olu, an early period when he should have beeu accumulating reserve for after years. * After he went througli four hard years In the army, an experience that I know from what 1 saw on the other side, is a terrific physical strain on any man. Also for two years now he has been traveling, meeting people, attending functions. and he is not of a temperament to stand up under this kind of n strain. He looks drawn around the eyes and has a pasty color, although he always was a trifle pale. He is weighing 175 pounds, and that means that he cannot take off an ounce in training. He has nothing to fall back on and must go through his hard work on nerve. He will have to be handled extremely well to keep from going stale. His training may get on his nerves and he will be unable to put his heart lu the work.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, MAY 19, 1921.

RALPH, JULES IN BIG SPEED COURSE ACTION De Palma Hits Season’s Best Race—Ellingboe Takes Dive at Wall. NEW RECORD LOOMS By CHARLIE LOGAN. There were two big affairs at the Indianapolis Speedway yesterday afternoon, Ralph De Palma’s first “real" drive, and Jules Ellingboe’s dive into the wall on the north turn. t De Palma wheeled his blond Ballot out on the track late in the afternoon after most of the fans had left the Speedway, and he cut loose for a few laps, just to show that Ralph De Palma and his little old boat are not to be chalked off when the new ereati Dob up and breeze around for a few speedy miles. In fact, Ralph made the fastest time of the season, excepting that made by Ellingboe in his 300-inch job Monday afternoon, and he came near lowering that mark. also. De Palma loafed around a few laps, than ‘kicked’’ his little wagon, and away bo went, with the watches of several drivers and rail birds catching him right around the 100-mlle per mark every time. Ralph turned several laps in 1.30, and his mechanics caught him at 1.29 2-5 for his fastest lap. TAKES TIME ON CORNER. And to top it all off, De Talma seemed to be loafing on the tifrns, especially the dangerous south curve. The motor of the nifty looking little speed boat was talking right up all the time, and once again the popular Italian goes down as a favorite in the big derby-. Since coming to the track a little more than a week ago De Palma and bis mechanics have worked on their prize behind closed doors. Other drivers have brought out their cars, chased around for a few laps nnd turned back to the garage to tear things up nnd start all over again. Not so with Ralph and his little family. They seem to know just what they want and how to get it, and they are going about things with the coolness of a cake of ice. Yesterday was the first time Ralph lias tried for anything like speed, and he showed the boys at the track that he has it, and in abundance. AfteT leaving the track Ralph was asked how things stood and he answered, “We’re ready for the big signal.” The first real bit of accident excitement was dished up yesterday when j'ulea Ellingboe tried to chnr.g“ the appearance of the retaining wall on the north turn. A slow leak did the trick. Elilngboe was buzzing around f.t a lively pace when, Just as he came out of the first turn off the back stretch, one of his rear tires went flat, and he headed for the wall. The front end of his ear struck the wall a sharp blow and the car turned completely around, with the back end heading toward the front stretch. He skidded down tha wall for about fifty yards, with his port-side hub caps digging a groove In the cement. NEW DRIVER 4 NFS HEAD. Jules was lucky that he didn't turn a flip and crack a few bones But all he got out of the deal was his first pavedtrack thrill, and a badly wrenched front axle. The youngster kept his head and was fighting to keep the car right side up until be brought it to o stop, which probably explains why no serious damage resulted Our own “Howdy" Wilcox, veteran of every 500 mile race in Indianapolis and winner of one, gave the fans their first slant at his new Peugeot. The Indianapolis driver knocked off n few laps right around the 90 mile mark, then bent It back to his garage, evldentally well pleased with the isr. Tommy Milton, king of the speed world, nnd the mat Louie Chevrolet has selected to hnndle the wheel of one of his new Frontenac eights, had his boat out for a fuw laps, but did not trv for much speed. Tommy likes Louie’s latest effort In the speed line, and says the boys re going to have n hard time keeping him away from the head of the big procession. Ralph Mulford, who will team with Tommy, will bo around shortly. Ralph knows that Louie will havo things ready wueu he gets here, so he Is takiuf his own sw-e- time about reporting. Percy Ford, national amateur champ, peeled off a few practice laps In hie Frontenac. Ford says all he needs Is a better acquaintance with the track. With e.ol weather favorable for tires, the ninth annual 500 mile sweepstakes will be the fastest In the history of Iho track, In the belief of racing experts w ho have be* n clocking the speeding little cars In practice spins this week. All the former winners from Ray Tlarroun of 1911 fame to Louis Chevrolet, builder of last year's victor, have declared this year's entries are the fastest ever assembled for a speed conte?t. Albert Guyot. the French pilot, who recently won the road race held in celebration of the death of Nnnoleon upon the Little Corporal’s awn Island of Corsica, and Dario Resta, were greeted with this announcement of speed requirements when they arrived in Indianapolis late yesterday. With “beaucoup” gesticulations members of the French colony informed the new arrivals of the speed American motors were turning up. Guyot, Dario Resta, Louts Coatelen, managing director of the Sunbeam Motors. Limited of England, and Louis Inghibert, French driving ace, caine from France on the same i oat with Georges Carpentier, and all said the fighter would be unable to attend the race, but that bis manager, Francois Descamps, would be here.

BREEZY TRIBE NEWS AND NOTES

MILWAUKEE, May 19.—The Indians piled into Milw-aultee this morning, a)l set for four fast battles with the Brewers, and with their mind set on nothing less than three victories in the series. They were not a bit backward before the opening game this afternoon in saying that they felt as though they had the Brewer medicine somewhere in their equipment, and it looked as though Chief Jack and his Tribe would be a hard bunch to get along with. / One little thing that has not helped the peaceful spirit of the Tribe a great deal is the fact that the weather man threw the dumps into them at Minneapolis. For three days the Indians were held back with rain at the Miller city, after two games of their series had been played, with fifty-fifty results. Yesterday was an off day on the Indian card, but they planned tc take on the Millers in a rubber tilt, only to be balked for the third consecutive time by what they have termed a "Minneapolis Special.” But the rainy weather at Minneapolis was not all against the Indianapolis club. In fact, it helped along quite a bit, ns right now there is not a htirler on the staff who Is not ready to take to the hill on word from Manager Hendricks, and if the curve artists can hold their own tha team should finish up the Milwaukee and Kansas City jobs in whirlwind fashion. Tug Cuvet has been waiting for three days to take a fling at some sort of ball club, and it looked as though he would surely get his chance today. The weather

College Sports

Fritz Bastlan of Indiana University retained his title of State intercollegiate tennis champion by defeating his brother Dick, a Butler player. 6-3, 6-3, 6-4, In tho finals of the State tourney on tho Butler courts this morning. Fritz Bastlan and De Marcus of Indiand University defeated Dick Bastian and Captain Wamsley of Butler for the college doubles championship of the State yesterday afternoon in tho finals of the doubles plu.v in the Indiana College late tennis tournament at Butler. The scores were 6 8, 6 3, 11-9, 6-3. Fritz Bastlan won his singles match yesterda. by forfeit and tbe Crimson doubles team entered the finals in the same manner. Neither Crimson athlete competed in a single game before the finals of the doubles event. The Butler athletes deservo a world of credit for the game match they put up. Fritz Bastlan was to play his brother Dick at 9 o'clock this morning for the singles championship. Dick won the right to compete in the fiuals by defeating Wigglesworth of Purdue 5 7, 8 ft, 6-2. in the feature match of the tourney. The Turdue man started out strong, and after winning the first set, got away to a >ig lead in the second. At one time ho had the Butter athlete match point but here Bastian pulled out with some wonderful ten 'is, and after that had things rather ca'-j. Tha forfeiture of the l’feiffer-fritz Bastlan feint finals match to Bastlan met with the disapproval of the large gallery, for It seemed that the Indiana man was in the wrong. Bastian failed to show up until way after scheduled time, and It was decided to forfeit to the Notra Damn man. Things were smoothed over, however, and I’feiffer went ahead with his doublet mat-h Immediately nfter this Bastian wanted to play, but when I’felffcr declined to play at that time tho match was forfeited to Bastian. Tfetffer wanted to rest for a time after a hard doubles match, and' it looks us though he might have gladly been granted this time by Bastian, considering the fact that he had refused to take the match by default when* Fritz did not appear at scheduled time.

was Ideal for baseball here this morning, and Manager Hendricks planned on starting his clever veteran In the series opener. Opening series seems to be Pug’s specialty this season, as he has not yet been bumped off in an Initial game.

Leo Seiffert and Harry Weaver, pitchers obtained from th# Cincinnati Reds and Chicago Cubs, respectively, probably will be started in two of the games agaihst the Brewers. Both have shown to the satisfaction of Manager Hendricks In practice tosses and the chief is confident that they have plenty of stuff to stick with the Association pace.

INTEREST OVER FIGHT PASSES ALL OLD MARKS Carpentier Uses Same Methods Brought Into Play for Beckett Affair. JACK GOING STRONG BY JAMES J. CORBETT. Former World’s Heavyweight Champion. (Copyright, 1921, by International News Service.) NEW YORK, May 19. —Never in boxing history has there been such broadcast interest in a championship match as that being shown in the coming DempseyCarpentier battle. People in nearly every walk of life are talking about it. The women folks are interested. A big majority of them want to see it. Everywhere I go scores of people greet me wlth--tlie same question: “What do you think of the big fight.” At this early stage, I am far from ready to discuss the probable outcome. The rival camps have only been established and the fighters have more than a month to train. Dempsey is well started. He is already In very good shape, in that he is strong as an ox and has fine wind. But he has quite a bit of work ahead. I learned on my last visit to Atlantic City that the big fellow weighs something over 200. He is heavier than was at first reported. Carpentier has chosen to be the "man of mystery.” Well, he has a right to do that if he likes. He will work in seclusion at Manhasset behind a high board fence topped xvith barbed wire. Special cops will keep the curious off the premises, excepting those who are entitled to enter, and as far as I can gather even the newspaper men will be extremely fortunate if they see him uncover any tricks against his sparring partners. The attitude of mystery adopted by Carpentier is nothing new. When he trained for Joe Beckett in London he worked behind closed gates. Just why he prefers to do so is a mystery, unless crowds bother him. Personally, I do not believe that training where all can see should make any difference to the really clever boxer, so far as the carrying of information to his rival's camp is concerned. A clever boxer is a whole lot like a good baseball pitcher. Rival players can watch a great pitcher work, study his style and figure ihat they have the lowdown on him. But when they face him at the plate it Is quite another matter, if he happens to be right. He’ll turn ’em away just the same; and he’ll always have something in reserve. Had Carpentier selected a camp at Atlantic City, I think it would have been much better for the big fight, which he is entering on a percentage basis. But he knows best. In Joe Jeanette, old though he is now, I believe Carpentier has one of the best sparring partners ha could possibly secure. Just a few years ago Jeanette

C.s were off to a lead in the third round, and they stayed out in front until the seventh, when the Monarchs came in for three runs. The locals tied things up again in the eighth, but two runs in the ninth put the Kaw City clan over for the victory. The A. B. C.s touched Foreman and Currie, Monarch pitchers, for thirteen hits, while Jeffries and Lattimer held tha visitors to nine, but the Monarchs got theirs at the more opportune times.
