PILOTS GIVEN FINAL CHANCE AT QUALIFYING Eight Cars Make Ripple Friday, While Six Fail to Get Out. MULFORD GOES AROUND Six cars remained today to be qualified for the 500-mile automobile classic at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Monday, and another big round of excitement was promised for the fans who have been trying to get a line on the cars in the practice spins of the past few weeks. Eight of the little speed Jobs were hustled around the track for the required average of eighty miles per hour for ten miles yesterday afternoon, and eight drivers wheeled up to the pits at the finish of their run with their faces displaying the "ready smile.” Andre Boillot turned in the fastest qualification laps yesterday afternoon, sending his Talbot-Darracq around the oval for an average of 07.6 miles per hour. "Howdy” Wilcox, the big favorite with Indianapolis fans, took second honors for the day vh'n he qualified his Peugeot at ninety-six miles per sixty minutes. According to Speedway officials, MerTin Headley has had his entry troubles straightened out with the A. A. A. men directing the race, and he was to get his chance to qualify this afternoon. Tommy Milton in a Frontenac. Ralph Mulford in a Frontenac. Jimmy Murphy in a Deusenberg. Eddie Pullen in a Peitsenberg and C. W. Van Ranst in a Frontenac. wpre the other drivers who were to qualify cars this afternoon. The long expected Mulford-manned Chevrolet elght-in-a-row put in appear- i ance late yesterday afternoon at the Speedway, but made no attempt to qualify. However. Ralph had his new mount out for a trial spin and after a few wanning up laps proceeded to show some real stuff. Like its twin brother, which will be driven by Tommy Milton, the car showed a world of sheer speed and in this respect appears to be almost the equal of Ralph De Palma's Ballot. However, like the Milton's Frontenac, it shows a bad tendency to bounce Second Batch of Pilots to Qualify for Race At. Speed Time for for Driver and Cor. 10 miles. 10 miles.

This cot Ralph into a bunch of trouble ana would have furnished the big crowd of two hours earlier the thrill of their lives, only when Ralph performed almost everybody had gone home and he had no audience. Diving into the first turn at a high rate of speed, the Frontenac became tm- I bued with the idea that its sole mis- j sion in life wa3 to scale that outside retv.'nil’C wall and take to the Crawfords-] ville road. The machine succeeded in getting to within about a foot of the retraining wall before Mulford convinced it of its error and got it squared away. It was a close shave and would have meant a bad accident for a driver of less experience and nerve.

The Sunbesms and the Talbott-Darracq showed up for their qualifying rounds equipped with a lon* piping system a lon ft the side that looked like these ex- , haußt-blown musical arrangements that ire occasionally seen on a machine. However, as no strains of the Marseillaise or Brittania issued from the AngloFrance cars it was deciiled by the spectators that all this plumbing must have another purpose. It finally was discovered that these long copper tubes were for cooling the oil. Louis Coatelen. Sunbeam designer and chief engineer, explained that In Europe, where the weather is not so hat as It has been In Indianapolis for the past week, this oil cooling system Is necessary. Albert Guyot. French drlvrr of a Peueenberg Special, who could not meet the qualifying test Wednesday, was back yesterday afternoon and went over the course for an average of 87.78. Another Indianapolis driver gained distinction on the big speed oval when Ora Haibe qualified Pario Resta's Sun beam at an average speed of SM.S miles per hour. Rests, It seems, has been complaining of stomach trouble since shortly after his arrival in this country, and there now is some doubt as to whether or not he will be able to drive in the great derby. If the famous Resta should have to step a-lde, he has a capable youngster ready to step in and fill his shoes. Haibe has. In some way or auother, been connected with the Indianapolis race course for several years. He has worked In tne Jilts rode as mechanic and acted as reief’driver several different times. He knows the course like a book, as was shown when he qualified yesterday afternoon. handling the car on the dangerous turns as easily as if he were driving around a boulevard. Rene Thomas came near playing a mean trick on himself In qaullfying. Rene got his signals crossed and thought he had gone four laps when be had gone only three. He loafed around on the fourth trip and rolled over the wire for an average of 83.75. His average for the first three laps had been better than W miles per. “SUm” Corum had a tough time getting his Frontenae around on scheduled time. He took plenty of time on the turns, following his narrow escape of Wednesday, and came home with a mark of 80.3, Just good enough to gain a starting position In the big race. Riley Brett, designer of the Richards Junior specials and driver of one of them, and Bennett Ili'l, pilot of Jack Thieles much-talked-about, greatly kidded, but persistent old Deusenberg. were found to have run a dead heat when the qualifying rounds were checked up. They were railed together to decide how to arrange the matter of position and agreed to toss a coin. Bennie called heads and It came heads, so he got his choice of position in the line over Brett. It was a case of “now that we got it what are you going to do with it,” for he could not make up his mind whether the inside or outside postion was the more desirable. But he finally picked the inside. The press representatives will be pretty well taken care of for the big race. The Stutx Motor Car Company is furnishing a classy big Fallow and black touring car for the use of the workers, and tne Nordyke & Marmori Company will he back on the Job again this year wUh their classy box lunches, and a tnrt to carry the men to and from the Speedway.

Today the French idol wound up his first week of training with a light program. His schedule called for a jaunt on the highways about Maahasset in the morning, followed by light boxing and gym work in the afternoon.

Wabash Players Enjoy Easy Sailing in First Game Here With Butler There were three definite reasons why Wabash defeated Butler on Irwin field yesterday. First, Scarlet pitching was more effective than Butler's, the Urawfordsville nine getting twelve solid blows as against five for Butler; second. Butler made ten errors while Wabash was making two; IRSt, but not least. Wabash made 13 runs to Butler's 3. The exhibition put up hv the Butler players yesterday was the most miserable of the season. The thrills varied all the way down from a home run with one man on base to three errors on one play. Shockley started on the mound for Butler, but was knocked lout and gave way to Brown, who fared little better Goidsberry, Wabash pitching ace. had the Butler batsmen baffled at all times but was terribly wild, walking men in nearly every inning. Wabash “started for town” right at the start getting two runs in the first, two more in the second, failed to score in the third and came back with two more in the fourth. Here the Scarlet sluggers slowed up for two innings In preparation for a glorious finish, counting two in the seventh, four in the eighth and one in the ninth. Butler got two of its runs in the third and the other one in the seventh. The two teams were to meet again today. The pitchers were to be Blacker for Wabash and Station for Butler. I. U.

Well, they’re all ready but the arena and the referee. The writer can t think of any other big heavyweight battle where the time seemed to hang so heavy on the hands of all concerned ns at this one. Down at Atlantic City, Jack Dempsey is waiting fur one week of hot weather. One week of it and he'll bo set. Here at Manhasset.

Are we confident? Ila, ha. llow do you get those way." BRAKES BUT ON JACK’S WORK ATLANTIC CITY. N. J.. May 28—The process of tuning up Jack Dempsey for bis June campaign has progressed so rapidly that Manager Kearns is beginning to put on the brakes. Kearns today cut the "Sampson” down to five rounds of boxing and after the first of next week will eliminate the sparring exhibitions for a time. "He's too ready right r.ow to suit me." said Kearns as he watched the champion clown it with Bull Montana In a comedy - finish to his day's work. "Remember, we have another month to go.” he yelled at Dempsey. “All right, Doc,” the big fellow replied. "but if you tos me in this ring I can't act as If I'm handcuffed.” “I'm going to hide those gloves next week and give you a little vacation,'' promised Kearns. Only two sparring partners exchangod slaps and raps with Dempsey Friday. Leo Houck, afler a three-day rest was fresh enough to give the champion some annoyance with (tinging lefts that made him snort and bore in. Houck paid dearly for the liberties he took, however. Jark Renault, the big Canadian, also worked with Dempsey, taking him 'u altercate rounds with Houck. Martin Burke, of New Orleans, who reminds everybody of Bob Fitzsimmons, has net yet started spurring with Dempsey as one of his ears, recently injured, Is still giving him trouble.

PROPAGATION OF FISH ADVANCES Riverside Hatchery Output One Million Baby Bass. Riverside hatchery alone will propagate 1.000,000 baby black bass and three other State hatcheries located in northern Indiana will shatter all previous rec ords for fish cultural work this season, with the result that the State department of conservation will likely be able to supply every application for fish for stocking purpeses. in the opinion of George N. Mannfeld, chief of the fish and game division. Mr Mannfeld says the spawning season is well advanced and so far reports from all State hatcheries point to a record breaking hatch. The department is bending every effort to make the 1921 hatchery output far exceed previous es forts, and at this writing every Indication points to success. Very favorable conditions for the natural reproduction of fishes in lloosier waters also are apparent. The weather has been ideal, the scarcity of rain and a gradually rising temperature is inducive of fish culture, and the warden service is unusually active in seeing that parent fish are protected during the closed season from April 30 to June 16. From all sections of the State comes reports of generous cooperation by the public, indicative that never before in the history of the States has there been so intense interest in this feature of conservation. The State will not help stock private waters where owners permit bass and bluegili fishing during the spawning period, Mannfeld says.

THEY’RE BATTLERS, BOYS, THOSE KIDS IN THE AMATEUR TOURNEY

The tourney/opened last night with fifteen elimination bouts and even "OneEved” Connolly, a character of the fight world, and the gent who has seen them all in action, said after the show that he never enjoyed anything better in his life.

There never has been such a strong field in an amateur boxing tourney in Indiana, and never have the boxers been so evenly matched as they were last night. In almost every fight the work of picking the winner was such as to make the judges scratch their heads, but the fellows who were awarding the decisions used better Judgment than has ever before been displayed in an amateur meet here. It would be hard to pick out the feature battles of last night. There were so many clever boys in the lot that to give one any great deal of mentton over another would be to do some youngsters a great injustice. But right here it must be said that the athletic authorities at Culver Ml’itary Academy are doing something that is going to make that school better known throughout the country within a short time Culver has a boxing instructor who is teaching the youngsters the manly art of se'f-defense as some pcop'e think it should be taught in every school in the country. With but two exceptions, the bnvs from the academy came through with colors flying. The Culver boys are not fighters, they are boxers, and they fairly dazzled the large crowd of fans with tiieir speed and cleverness. It was almost to good for amateurs. The Culver lads took on some of the toughest boys in the. tourney, but they proved well able to take cere of themselves. The Culver instructor has taught his boys all the tricks of the trade, and they handle their dukes like the fellows who knock and get knocked for plenty of money. VAN STORCH SHOWS CLASS. Theodore Y’on Storeh loomed a* a wee bit smarter than any boxer of the Culver team. He took on .Tack Edwards, a hard little fellow from Marlon, and gave Jack one of the neatest beatjngs of the night. Theodore didn't stand in there nnd slug with Jack, he stood out ami pecked away at him from one end of t.'ie round to the other, occasionally sending across a sizzler. Just to let Jack know that he wasn't stepping around v.ith a boy who knew nothing but how to keep from getting hit. Leslie Treber nnd Bob Bridges, both from the independent Athletic Club, got rid of their first round opponents early in the evening and came back ialer on to decide which of them should go into the finals of the 145 pound class. Treber won The tilt in an extra session, but the decision was close. Curley Sullivan the Independent Club's classy little featherweight, drew a lot of sympathetic glances from the fans who didn't know him when he stepped through the rope* for his tilt with Bill Hart, unattached, a gent who looked about ten years his elder But the fans soon got back on the right track Curley boxed circles around Hart in the first round, then stepped out for battle in the second frame and planted a right cross on his opponent's Jaw, calling out the “tweet tweet” forces Amsteur rules prevented Hart from being counted out. and he was brought to his corner and put in shape for the third stanza Cur ley dropped Hart again in the third so* sion. but this time he was able to get back to his feet and hang on until the bell sounded. The classiest amateur boxer* over de veloped in Indiana remain for the finals tonight, the show being scheduled to etart at 8 o'clock, and fan* who crave real action should run the chance of breaking n few shoestrings in an effort to be among the spectators.

Desch and Furnas Expected to Go Big in Collegiate Meet NOTRE DAME, Ind., May 28— Gus Desch of Notre Dame and C. C. Furnas of Purdue were expected to be two of the brightest stars In the Indiana State collegiate track nnd field meet in progress on Cartier field this afternoon.

LONDON, May 28. —The international team match between American and British amateur golfers may become an annual event. Captain William C.

WHO’LL WIN? NEW YORK, May 28.—Mike Gibbons: “It is a bit unfair to Carpentier to declare he lias not a chance against Dempsey. Tne Frenchman Is the type of boxer best suited to give the champion a real contest. The great big fellows move so slowly that Dompsey has had an past time avoiding them and pounding them down. Dempsey might fight differently against a fast opponent. Dempsey is not n hard mnn to hit. Therefore a good boxer with n punch who can make the most of openings should do very well. Carpentier has a very good chance to win.” WIGGIN'S-GREB TODAY. SOUTH BEND. Ind..

COLONEL-TRIBE CLASH CREATES KEEN INTEREST Old Rivals Megt in Twin Bill as Starter for Important Series. BIG CROWDS EXPECTED Colonels and Indians were to open their big series this afternoon with a double-header, starting at 2 o'clock and, due to the fact that the two teams are battling along well up in the pennant fight, the biggest Saturday crcrtvd of the season was expected to turn out. Jess Petty and Johnny Enzmann were the probable Tribe pitching selections today. Indications pointed to the Hoosiers being given stiff opposition because Manager McCarthy of the Colonels has his athletes going at top speed. His pitching staff is in fine form and the club is hitting at about the same pace the Indians have been setting. So it appears as though the series opening today will go to the outfit showing the more effective pitching. Scat reservations for the Sunday contest have been heavy and if fair weather prevails tomorrow YVashington Park probably will see Its crowd of the season. On Monday a second doubleheader will be played and despite the fact that the 500-mile race is to be held that day the rabid baseball fans are not expected to overlook the chance to see the diamond battlers perform. Jack Hendricks brought his Indians back home only one-half game out of first place and as a result the fans are worked up to a high pitch of pennant excitement. The only weak spot in the team's roster is the pitching staff, and Hendricks hopes to straighten that de. partment out during the long period the club is at home. Starting with Louisville every team on the circuit will be met here before the Indians again take to the road and if the Sag is going to be won for Indianapolis it probably will be during that time. Catcher Henline is Incapacitated at present because of injuries and Leo Dixon faces the task of doing all the work behind the bat for a few days. Leo is a willing worker, however, and he will do hig best to fill the bill. Ralph Shinners, center fielder, has been attracting much notice from big league scouts the last two weeks and the Milwaukee youth is greatly elated. He looks like the league sensation among the outfielders and if he keeps up his hitting there'll be about eight major teams bidding for his services. oug Baird has picked up in all nts of plav and even threatens to outshine the fleet-footed Shinners on the bases. The infield work of Schreiber and Sicking also has been of big league caliber and they look like the best pair in the association around the keystone sack. Gymnasts Meet Turners in Volley Ball Match The business men's team es the Athenaeum Gymnasium will hook up with the South Side Turner actives tomorrow afternoon in a volley ball contest, at Turner Park. This will bo one of the features of the opening of irner Park for the season. There wil’ be all-day pienie. open to the public. These two volley ball teams are entered in tbe national tournament at Chiengo next month. The game will be preceded by an athletic exhibition, showing the work to be used in the national meet. All are invited and no admission is charged. Turner Park is situated on the FalrvieW car line, adjacent to Fairvlaw Park. Lease Beats Henning Jimmv Lease.
