SPEED TRIALS FOR 500-MILE ENTRANTS OPEN Drivers Strive for Best Time and Choice Places for Race Start. LEADING PILOTS READY Elimination trials for the SOO-mile •peed chase at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Monday were to open at 1 o'clock this afternoon, and the drivers were ready to mark the opening of the qualifications with some of the most remarkable speed ever made in the ten miles of running to see “who's who.” It is necessary for a car to travel ten miles (four laps of the big brick oval) at an average speed of eighty miles per hour, or better. Any car on the track can easily bat off the required speed, but thu is not at all the big object. The ear making the fastest time in the eliminations will be the pole car in the big race, and all others will get positions according to their speed, so it is the aim of the drivers to cut loose with everything they have and grab the choice positions for the start. Up until the time trials started this afternoon, nothing on wheels at the Speedway had been able to show Ralph lie Palma and his blonde Ballot how to travel, but yesterday was a day of work for every mechanic and driver at the speed plant, and there were rumors of plentiful “dark horses” before the'heats opened this afternoon. Ralph copped the post position iu his Ballot last year, but the rival pilots are determined that he wUI know what opposition means before the last car has been qualified for the 1921 event. Tom Hay was to act as official starter in the trials, with Charles Root as his assistant. Tho brake tests will be conducted Saturday afternoon by F. E. Edwards. Dr. H. R. Allen, Speedway surgeon, has hit hospital rigged up in fine atyle, and will conduct physical examination of the drivers, relief drivers, mechanicians and relief mechanicians, starting this afternoon. They were few of the drivers ont yesterday afternoon, that is, few of those who have been around the place long enough to get a real line on their cars lie Palma and his "little family” worked hard on the Ballot all afternoon without even casting their eyes in the directiou of the track. Wilcox and Chassagne were net seen around the track, neither were they out Monday. The Peugeot team evidently is “sittin' pretty,” and ready to qualify at any time. Andre Boillot was the only member of the Sunbeam tram out for a little spin, and he went "dead” and had to be pulled In. The Frenchmen didn't say what the trouble was, bat they were not very excited, sothe chances are that It was just some minor difficulty. Joe Thomas was out pounding the socks/4>ff his Junior Special all the way • round throughout the afternoon, and had the satisfaction of going Just a wee bit faster than at any other time since he haa taken the “blue beauty’ under Ms wing. Joe didn't crack any records. but he finished up fast enough to let the other boys know they will have to figure him "in” when the big drive starts. Joe can’t hit a mean clip on the stretches and coast on the turns; he hasn't got the speed. But the hard-work-ing pilot is taking the turns wide open and seems to be getting along In fine •tyte While all other members of the Bennie Hill team wer*> working like a lot of Trojans on the Duesenberg, “Gentleman Jerry” Wonderlich was around the pits telling the boys to “watch our smoke the next time we come out.” Bennie's “at ease” assistant says they have jammed a thorn under the saddle of the old boat, and that she's going to be good for much better time from now on.

Jules Elllngboe was out again in his Frontenac and turned a few laps with disc wheels. They make the job look pretty snappy, but Jules has not yet decided whether or not he will use them. Ralph Mnlford smiled his way to the city yesterday afternoon and announced himself ready to qnalify today. Louis Chevrolet has had Ralph's eigbt-in-a-row Frontenac ready for several lays. Roacoe Sarles had his .--rscnberg out again, but was content to travel at a comfortable pace. Albert Guyot was presented with the Duesenberg that he is to drive, and lost about three seconds in getting ready for his initial spin. He opened up after a few tame laps, and immediately went down as one of the drivers deserving of some little consideration. Guyot handles his car nicely and seems to know the track about as well as the next one. Percr Ford, the noted amateur driver from Chicago, came near meeting with a serious accident yesterday when his left rear wheel came off. Ford was tearing down the back stretch at a good clip and hit the turn wide open. He threw the entire wheel which headed down the track so fast he had to turn out to let it by. The wheel ran on fully three hundred yards farther before coming to a stop. Ford retained his presence of mind and his control of the ChicagoFronteuac he was driving, bringing it to a stop, but not before the flying wheel had hopped up and struck him on the left elbow, rendering a nasty flesh wound. Ford limped into the pits with his axle dragging. Butler Plays Best Ball to Wallop State Normal The Butler baseball nine played its Lest game of the year yesterday at Irwin field and won from State Normal by a 3 to 0 count. Staton, on the hill for Butler, pitched a good game and received airtight support from his teammates. The Blue and White twirler set the teachers down with four scattered hits. Bliss, although pitching good ball, was jerked in the eighth when Butler players began to occupy the bases, and Case finished the inning. Butler got but five blows off the delivery of the Normal pitchera. Butler started things moving In the second and shoved one run across the rubber on a single and s.olen base by Blessing and a single by iiungate. The Bulldogs got their other two markers In the eighth, when Middlesworth's double was followed by a couple of errors and a hit batter. Normal had its best chance to score in the seventh, getting two men on and none out, but lacked the necessary punch to shove over a run. Butler also turned down a good chance to get some runs in the fourth, loading the sacks with one out. but the next two men were easy out*. Station retired the side in the sixth on three pitched balls. Yesterday's game evens the count between the two schools, the Teachers having won the game at Terre Haute by a big score. Bacharachs and A. B. C.s Meet in ‘Rub’ Clash With the series standing two and two the Bacharach Giants of New York and A. B. C.s, local colored champions, Bwere to tangle in their wind-up game at W Washington Park this afternoon. The f Bacharachs made the series count even by winning the Tuesday fracas. 8 te 7. Poor work in the A. B. C. euTield gave the visitors their openings and they were quick to take advantage. Ben Taylor hit the ball hard as' further evidence that he is going to enjoy a big season with the bat. Kenyon hurled yesterday's contast for the locals and brobably would have won had he been given better support. Johnson or Brown was slated to pitch for the A. B. C.s today. Woods, the outfielder loaned to the Colombo* Bnoksyea, has been recalled by C X Taylor.

Many of the pit hounds at the Speedway are picking Eddie Hearne and his Revere as the dark horse entry in the 500-mile race here next Monday. The veteran pilot has been at the track going through warming-up spins for a number of days and the easy manner in which

May 25.—Northwestern University scored a double victory over the University of Chicago yesterday. The purple beat Chicago. 10 to 9, in an eleven inning baseball game, and to 4SVs at track. Bills pitched a great game for De Pauw yesterday afternoon, bat bis support was weak in the pinches, and Armour Tech registered a 3 to 0 win over the Tigers. Bills allowed the Chicago team only three bits. De Pauw collected ten blows, but failed to connect when hits meant runs.

Purdue was to cross bats with Wabash College this afternoon at Crawfordsville. Wagner or Wallace was to be on the mound, with Hiser doing the receiving. The Purdue team was out for revenge on account of the defeat handed it by Wabash earlier in the season. On Saturday Purdue will hook up with Wisconsin on Stuart field. The visiting team took advantage of the poor support given Wagner at Madison and gave Purdue a trouncing. Coach Lambert is confident that his nine will turn the tables on them this time. The track team is working hard for the State track meet neit Saturday at Notre Dame. Coach O'Conner has the men in first-class shape with the exception of Miller, who has been bothered with a bad arm all spring.

Asa result of the defeat of Hunter, Fred Wright is the only American left In the tourney. By FRANK ?AHRITHERS, Editor of Golf Illustrated. HOYLOKE, England, May 25—Surprises like bolts from clear skies marked the morning round of the British amateur golf tournament here today - when Bobby Jones, the Atlanta star, and Cyril Tolley, the English champion, were put out of the running for the championship cup. Jones was deteated by A. J. Graham of the Royal Liverpool Club, 0 up and 5 to play. Tolley dropped from the field when he lost his match with John B. Beddard of Penn Common. 3 up and 1 to play.

Hezlet, of Royal Port Rush, deteated Colin C. Aylmer, of Kanelugh, three up and one to play. At the outset of the tourney, Aylmer was considered a strong possibility for the championship. The defeat of Jones was altogether decisive. Graham reached the turn 4 up on the American youth, who played ruggedly and the match ended at the thii'eenth hole.

The pleasure is worth it. There’s no substitute for Camel quality and that mild, fragrant Camel blend. The fellow who smokes Camels, wants Camels. That’s because Camels have a smoothness, a fragrance and a mildaess you can’t get in another cigarette. Don’t let anyone tell you that any other cigarette at any price is so good as Camels. * \ Let your own taste be the judge. Try Camels for yourself. A few smooth, refreshing puffs and you’d walk a mile for a Camel, too.

Expect Real Action When Amateur Ring Stars Battle Here Several amateur boxing champions in Indiana will defend their title at the Indiana State Amateur Boxing Tournament at the fair ground coliseum on Friday and Saturday evenings. Fortythree amateur boxers have entered for the tournament and indications point to additional entries before the tournament opens. The Indianapolis Athletic Club is staging the affair. Among the champions are Vaughn and Leslie Treber, of Marion. They are brothers and Vaugbn bolds the Central States championship in the light heavyweight class, and his brother Leslie holds the Indiana State championship in the lightweight division. Both boys are fast and are coming to the tournament to ho and their titles for another year. Pitted against these youngsters are some of the cleverest boxers in the amateur ranks in this State. Danny McGowman, one of the trio of Notre Dame University representatives, is widely known among the amateurs of the State and participated in the Gary A. A. U. meet last mouth. Arthur Havens of Elwood, the flyweight champion in 1915, is among the entrants and has his old punch back again. He will meet stiff competition in his weight. Sale of seats to the pub.ic is at Huder's drug store, Pennsylvania and Washington streets, and Clark & store, Washington and Illinois strets. it when he missed a putt and took a six, forfeiting the hole. The Iloylake man was visibly encouraged at this and after halving the second with the youthful American he took the next two holes and held the advantage of three up. At the fifth both tank their putts for par fours. Graham took a five on the sixth, but Jones was still putting badly and lost the hole, putting Graham four up. Graham played stylish golf from this point on, Jones being unable to settle down against the flashy shots of the Englishman through the fairways and on the greens. Joues took his defeat with the smile of a good loser, and though continually falling Graham, did not lose his ingenuity for making spectacular shots. After pulling his drive on the eighth so close to a fence that it was impossible for him to play the bail lu the rlgnt directiou, he hit it against the fence and It bounded back twenty yards into the fairway. The easy victory of Graham was scored largely because of Jones' poor putting. The youth seemed unable to play the shortest putts accurately and took three putts on four consecutive holes starting with the tenth. Beddard. who defeated Tolley, upset all calculations. He was not considered In the running for the cup. being classed among the lesser light* in British amateur ranks. He is a very careful player, however, and today was at his best.

BLUES BATTLE HARD TO STOP HOOSIER DRIVE Ability of Indians to Pull Games Out of Fire Upsets K. C. Boys. FOUR RUNS IN NINTH KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 25.—Having suffered two beatings at the hands of the battling Hoosiers, the K. C. Blues today were somewhat groggy and dejected. However, they are by no means wrecked and the Knabe athletes were shouting threats today what they were going to do to the Hendricks machine in the third of the series thia afternoon. The ability of the Indians to come up from behind sort of disorganized the local outfit yesterday, and, although willing to admit that Jack HenIricks is piloting a -eal-for-sure ball club this season, the Blues felt the invaders could not make it three in a row in the face of the weak pitching staff the Tribesmen are carrying. The conflict yesterday was won by th* Indians. 9 to 6. when the Hendricksmen staged a rally in the ninth that netted four runs. The Tribe got away to a flying start and were leading 5 to 1 when the sizth inning arrived. In that frame, however, the Hoosier pitching balloon went up and before the fire was out the Blues had scored five markers ana grabbed the lead, 6 to 5. Bartlett waa knocked out of the box and was relieved by Weaver, who hurled until taken out for a pinch hitter In the ninth. Gene Morrison was the pinch hitter and he delivered a hot single that started the Indians on the way to victory. Stryker then finished in the box for the Tribe and put the Blues down in one, two, three order. Shinners and Sehreiber cracked ou* home runs in the first inn’ug and these clouts caused confidence to glow on the Tribe bench. Sehreiber got two other hits during the pastime and he led in the hitting for the day. Eddie Zwiliing, former Tribe outfielder, was the Blues’ best sticker with a double and a triple, but Eddie’s clouts couldn’t save his new team in the face of the wild ninth his old pals staged. Local rooters have learned to fear the Indians In the first two games of the series and they will consider their team fortunate if the remaining two games can be kept from being annexed by the visitors. Manager Hendricks was undecided this morning regarding his pitching selection for the afternoon. He said if Jess Petty arrived in time he probably would use him, otherwise Enxmann or Stryker was to get the assignment. Here's how the Indians captured the game in the ninth yesterday: Morrison, bntting for Weaver, singled to right. Shinners sacrificed and was safe on Pitcher Williams’ error, Williams was slow in fielding the ball and when he finally got his hand on it he made a wild throw to first. It was a terrific wild heave and Morrison was able to score from first on it. Shinners went to second and was moved along by Baird's sacrifice. Covington walked and Shinners scored a moment later when Butler tried to head him off on Rehg's Infield bounder. . insella popped for the second out, but Sehreiber came through with a single, scoring Covington. Sicking followed with a hit. scoring Rehg with the fourth run of the Inning. Henline was hit and Morrison, up for the second time, fanned. Catcher Henline received a split finger in the ninth and may be out of the game for a number of days. TIGERS TO HELP LEGION.
