GOUX, WINNER OF 1913 RACE, TO TRY AGAIN fr Famous French Speed Pilot Enters Ballot Car in 500Mile Event. DE PALMA’S FORMER CAR Jules Goux, famous French race driver, is coining to America to pilot a Ballot in the internatior al 500-mile race for approximately SIOO,OOO to be held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Tuesday, May 30. He is bringing with him two i?3llot cars, but the driver of the second mount has not been named. It is believed by Speedway officials that he will choose an American pilot as his teammate. Goux. among the first of the foreign invaders, won the great classic in a Peugeot in 1013. starting a string of foreign victories that remained unbroken until the late Gaston Chevrolet won in a Vankce car in 1920. Then came Tommy Milton's Yankeeland victory last year. Goux, who was in the race last year, said" he is returning in an earnest effort to break up the local wins as he did in 1913. But he will find the Amerlcan very firmly entrenched and mighty reluctant to give an inch. The Frenchman was wedded to Miss Ruth Davis, an Indianapolis girl, following the close of the 1920 race. He is a great admirer of Howard Wilcox, who has driven in every Indianapolis race, winning in 1919, and for several years was a team-mate with “Howdy.” It is said Goux tried tc get Wilcox to switch from the Peugeot, which he will drive, to the Ballot, bet Wilcox refused. The Ballot is the car Ralph Pe Palma recently discarded in favor of the Puesetberg. but it was the fastest mount iu practice on the Indianapolis bricks last vear This will be Goux's fifth start. He won in 1913, was fourth the following year, and in 1919. on his return-tfi racing after the war, he placed third. In 1920 he failed to finish. Waen Goux first came to America In 1913 he could not speak a word of English and it was necessary to have an icterperter with him ail the time. But now be is always one of the most popular drivers around the racing camp and the drivers will receive the information of his coming with joy—from a social standpoint—but on the track it is different. They all have learned to respect the driving prowess of Jules Goux.

Baseball World in Mourning at Death of Adrian C. Ansotb Famous Old-Time Player Dies in Chicago After Brief Illness. CHICAGO, April 15.—The baseball world mourned today at the bier of Adrian C. (Cap) Anson, who died yea terday after a brief Illness that made necessary j, an operation for glandular trouble. Expressions of regret and svm pathy at the passing of the national pastime's “grand old man." poured into Chicago from every section where baseball history is known. Funeral services will be held tomorrow and interment will follow in Oakwood Cemetery. Anson was stricken a week ago and an Immediate operation was performed. He rallied from this and was believed recovering when a relapse set In and death followed. He would have been 70 years old next week. Anson began his baseball career with Rockford. 111., in 1871. He played with the old Philadelphia Athletics for two years'and came to the Chicago club of the newly formed National League in IS7O. He was made manager of the team In 1877 and held that position for twenty years. During that time he nehieved a reputation as one of the greatest batsmen in baseball history. Under his guidance the team won fire pennants. His batting average in twenty two years if playing was it 48. In recent years he had devoted most of his time to playing golf and billiards. During the summer months he was a familiar figure on the public links, where he was affectionately spoken of as “Old Pop Anson." It was through his fondness for the Scotch game that he became Interested in the Dixmoor Club, now under construction on a site adjoining the Calumet Country Club. In 1904 Anson captained a bowling team, named the Ansons, and won the five-man championship at the American Bowling Congress^ Tributes to the Memory of Anson as t*e game's greatest hero were paid to day by Charles A. Comiskey, now the owner of the club that Anson managed ; Billy Sunday, the famous evangelist, who was a member of Anson's team; Judge Landis, baseball commissioner, and many others who knew him during his days as an active player. Four daughters, three in Chicago and one In Mont Clair. N. J., survive the veteran of the diamond.
BIG LEAGUE STUFF
The grand old man of baseball 1* no more. Pop Anson has answered the eall of tho supreme umpire. The epidemic of home runs at the Polo Grounds continued yesterday, Bancroft and Snvder furnishing the big wallops in the Giants' massacre of the Brooklyn Dodgers. The Phillies' winning streak died aborning when Rube Marquadd turned them back yesterday by way of getting the Boston Braves started on the right foot. Miller Huggins indulged himself in some mild speculation as to his chances of getting Amos Strunk from the White Sox during the off day in Washington. The proposition, according to Huggins. Involves the sending of “idtick’’ Fewster and presumably some others, to the Comiskey breakfast table. Errors by Joe Dugan, ex Maokman, gave his oid tpammates a victory over the Boston Red Sox. while Elmer Myers, another Athletic discard, was hit hard in the pinches. The Athletics field'd sen sarlonally, an infield shift which sent Pep Young, former Tiger, to second ba ,e, and Jimmy Dykes to third, being seeming!}' one of Mr. Mack's happiest thoughts of recent date. Rain got the popular decision in five major cities, two Nationals and three in the American League. Heinie Groh Friday got a double and three singles in five times up, scored two runs, drove in four and accepted four chances without an error.

Billy Evans Says
Many Collegians Took Spring Trips Advance notices do not win major league berths. In the winter it is pleasant to be regaled with utoriog about the greatness of this or that recruit. But in the spring it is very often a much dlffel>Man3ger’ John MeGraw of the New York Giants took an even dozen college recruits South. Most of them were highly touted. None, however, will break into the regular line-up of the Giants. When Joknnv Mohardt of Notre Dame was signed by the Detroit Tigers it was heralded ail over the country. Mohardt has shown enough to justify Manager (V.bb In keeping him. The New York Yankees boasted the muchheralded Glenn Killinger and llinkey Ilaims of I’enn State. It ij doubtful if any collegian was ever more widely exploited than Killing': r. A star on the gridiron, one of the greatest running backs of all time, lie was touted to go as big on the diamond. Hugo Bezdek, former Pittst urgh manager, now coacl at Penn State, a man who knows a tall player A'hen he s**es one, pronounced Killinger ready. Bezdek was positive his protege would make good from the start. Every major league club numbered four or more collegians on its roster when the spring training trip was started. The above are just a few of the highly touted “rah” "rah” athletes. , , Yet it appears that a youngster who seldom broke into print, whose college deeds were entirely overlooked, has the best chance to win a berth on a major league club. * I I I Norman McMillan in Yank Line-up I have in mind Norman McMillan, who is certain to break Into the box score of many a New York Yankee game this summer. Down South no one knows McMillan as Norman. He has acquired that form of recognition since going to the majors. Through the South McMillan Is just plain “Bub. ’ McMillan, b.v the way, is an all-wool collegian. He is a graduate of Clemson College. Through the South Clemson means something in an academic as well as athletic way. For three years McMillan starred on the varsiky baseball team at Clemson, which is coached by Vedder Sutton, former big league Star i:iemson hopes to cut quite a swath Tn Southern football circles next season. Dr. E. J. Stewart was recently appointed athletic director. He will roach in football. Sewart is best known as the head of the old Massillon (Ohio) Tigers. Later he coached with success at University of Nebraska and Oregon Agricultural College. Plans are now on foot to take the 1922 Clemson football team to Honolulu during the Christmas holidays. • The South i s naturally proud that “Bub” McMillan has shown the way for the other collegians in the majors. Clemsort College, of cdrsc, is more than proud, and rightly so. McMillan has proved that ability, the stuff that make* good. At a matter of fa-t, overtouting Is the biggest youngsters have to overcome. McMillan was not so hampered.

“We believe,” said Übrsinnan Williams, "that the circus tent will nolle several difficulties that 'have presented themselves in our planning of the show for May 29 The great number of seats will make it possible far us to present on all star card of three ten-round bouts at a popular scale of prices. It will afford tig better facilities for handling the crowd than could possibly obtain at an open-air show, and it will entirely relievo us of worry about weather conditions.” Chairman Williams also stated that arrangements have been made for Henry K. Burton. Indianapolis theatrical man, who has also had wide experience in staging big sporting events, to direct tlie show for the Joint committee.

DERBY DOPE IS SHIFTED ABOUT Kai Sang, One of Short-Priced Nags, May Not Start/ in Classic. BY DAVIS J. WALSH. NEW YORK, April 13.—The poor, but honest souls who have rushed to the winter books to cast a few fartherings on the ehanees of Kai Sang in the Kentucky Derby can now prepare to make a noise like a rubber heel and disappear. They will not be needed when the bookies begin to pay off. Kai Sang stands a very good chance of not starting in the Derby at all. Down at the Rancocas Farm, he is being beaten in the day to-day performances by William A., find the tip is a very hot one that William A. will go to Churchill Downs to carry the banner for Harry Sinclair. In this event, Kai Sang will be sent to the Preakness at. Pimlico, we are informed. That procedure will leave the poor but honest souls out on a financial limb. Tlie good word from the Sinclair rendezvous that William A. is not only going fast* r. but farther than Kai Sang, and In Bupport of the foregoing tip it might be mentioned that the Derby is a long race. William A. is quoted in Herz’ winter book at twenty to one, while Kai Sang Is the shortest price next to Morvlch. He has been sold at twelve to one with the takers many. Two other Derby eligible*! gave Indications during a workout at Belmont Friday tliut the long price allotted by Herz is not altogether Justified. They are Gallant Man, tlie son of Superman and Galmta. and Pirate Gold, a hlf brother to Knobble. They swung through six furlongs at a ciiuking pace itt 1:1.3 2-5, and this without being unduly urged. Some of the dockers caught them at 1:13. If there is any price on either at the moment, It will be well upnard of fifty to one, and this Is a quotation to be treated with kindness and consideration. One can do no less by a horse that breezes six furlongs lu that hasty manner.

Tho local colored aggregation under the management of Ben Taylor are practicing daily. Taylor announces that now players have bolstered the team just where it has been weakest, and a good season is expected. Practice the last week has been hampered by the bad weather and a game scheduled for tomorrow with Muncie has been forced to be called off. The pitching staff has been showing good stuff in the preliminary practice. Taylor states that ho has a real twirier in Carr, anew h'urler from the Brooklyn Royals. He Is a right-hander with plenty of stuff. Blackman, a third baseman from Texas, is practically a certainty to start the season. His play around the hot corner In practice shows him as the best prospect the A. B. C. have uncovered in a long time. He is a right hand batter and according to Manager Taylor is n “sweet" ball player. He will Improve the infield where it was weak lust season and also give the club a good right hand hitter. Dobbins, a young shortstop from .South Carolina, is showing real ability at the position, but it is not thought likely that be can beat out the veteran Clark, who is uncorking the flashy stuff that, for years made him sit'ch a valuable man to the A.s. He is in better shape than he has been in the past few years. Day will be at seeond and Taylor at first. Another youngster attracting early notice is Huff, a 19-year-old catcher from Nashville. He will have a hard row to hoe however, with Mackev and Eggleston on the receiving staff. The outfield will more than likely start with the star. Charleston, in center. Holloway in right and Washington in left.

High School Meet Track and Field Events Run Off Under Adverse Weather Conditions. BY HR2E CLARK. NOBLESVILLE, Ind.. April 15.—Under the most adverse weather conditions the fourteenth annual Hamilton County High School track and field meet was held at the hors* show grounds yesterday afternoon. The teams finished in the following order: Noblesville ,34; Carmel; 20VJ; Sheridan. 28; Fishers. 7Vfc. Other teams enteffed were Boxley, Walnut Grove and WestfieldRegardless of the driving rain that poured on the water soaked athletic field, the high shool boys fought for honors with a spirit -that was not dampened in spite of weater conditions that made record breaking performances impossible. For example Johnson of Carmel won the pole vault at the iow mark of 8 feet 8 inches. Under Normal conditions he and two other athletes in that event have records of 10 feet 6 inches. Yesterday these boys vaulted in mud and water more than ankle deep. Northam of Sheridan was the big point winner, taking first in the 100-yard dash, 220-yard dash, shot put and second in the broad Jump. Ho scored 18 points for his team. He ran the final quarter for the Sheridan relay team, but Noblesville had such a lead that the finish man for Sheridian never had a chance. When Wade of Carmel defeated Northam in the running broad Jump it was the surprise event of the meet. Wade was IV4 Inches ahead of Northam. In the shot put Northam’s heave of 42 feet, 8 inches was exceptionally good as he was tossing a slippery wet shot from a circle ankledeep in mud and water. In the hurdle events Noblesville won the lions' share of points. Wheeler's time in the high hurdle of 19 4-5 seconds was remarkable considering the condition of the track. The 220-yard hurdle was important, coming at a time when the points of the meet were very close. Parr of Sheridan had been defeated by a close margin in the heat of this event by Heluzmann of Noblesville. These two star? In the final heat were running neck nnd neck with only three hurdles to go when Parr hit a barrier and almost fell. He regained his balance, but the speedy ! Noblesville hurdler had won the lead ) and took first honors in the meet. | Cottlngham of Noblesville was easily the best distance runner of the meet and won the miie and half-mile events. Noblesville has a relay team that will make the Indianapolis high schools step out to defeat when the sectional track meet is held at Indianapolis. Helnz- ; ntann. the second Noblesville runner, | opened up a wide margin over the Sheri- | dan quarter miler and Smith increased ' the lead for Noblesville. Northam of Sheridan never had a chance to catch i the speedy Mills in the final quarter of | the relay.
