FETTERMAN AND ELLINGBOE GET IN SPEED RACE Young Drivers to Be Seen in Duesenbergs at Big Motor Classic. BOTH RANK AS STARS With the fight between the Duesenbergs and Frontenacs raging for every possible advantage before the start of the 500-mlle race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Tuesday, May SO, comes the announcement that some brand new blook is being injected into the Duesenberg racing veins. It is I. P. Fetterman of Pittsburgh, a ‘‘home town” type driver who has been to the Uniontown traca what Wilcox, Sarles and other Indiana pilots have been to Indianapolis. Practically unknown to the Indianapolis race goers he has won his spurs on Eastern tracks at old Sheepshead bay and more especially L'nio down. Pa., formerly his home port. Practically unnoticed last labor Pay, .Fetterman won the Harvest Auto Classic at Uniontown, keeping a steady, consis; cut pace while Jimmy Murphy and Roseoe claries, close up contenders with faster cars, spent their time tearing off rubber while driving at terrific speeds, duelling with each other for leadership. One scarcely knew Fetterman was in the race until the checkered flag was waved to him and the stands went wild to see the home town laddie drive in first While other classy pilots looked on with open-eyed astonismehnt. wondering how Fetterman got around them. It takes Just that sort of steady plugging to annex at Indianapolis and that is probably the reason Fetterman has been nominated to pilot one of the Duesenbergs being groomed for the long drive. No Fetterman will not go without notice when the veterans plan the manner in which they will drive at Indianapolis. Every one of the heady drivers start the duel'with a well-defined plan, ana they follow it as closely as possible—because every one of them have it all figured out just how to win—and they seldom change their minds in the race, except to take advantage of anv breaks in their favor. Jules Ellingboe. the “farmer boy” race driver from Crookston, Minn., also will drive a Dueseuberg in the 500-mile race, according to announcement made late Tuesday. It came as somewhat of a surprise to those who follow automobile racing closely, for Ellingboe got his first whirl at ‘ big league” racing last year under the hand of Louis Chevrolet and it was expected that he would again pilot one of Chevrolet's products. In his first start at Indianapolis last May Ellingboe was third to Tommy Milton’ and Roseoe Varies, both veterans of the speedways, beating numerous of the older drivers' to the tape. Having graduated from the difficult dirt track path it was easy to drive the Indianapolis course for the'Crookston lad, and he made a great showing. He was injured at Uniontown a month after the Indianapolis race in his initial start on a board bowl, when he cut shoit to permit the spe-iing Roseoe Sarles to get around him and turned over. However, he has fully recovered and is anxious to get hack at the wheel.
Ken Williams Sets Terrific Pace for Home Run Sluggers St. Louis Fielder Smashes Out Six Circuit Clouts in Four Days. Ken Williams is swat klrg if only for a day. In the last four days the long St. Louis Brown outfielder has hit six home runs. By hitting five in three days he equaled the records made by Kelly in Chicago and by Babe Ruth in unit.’ In hitting six in four days he < mulled the record made last year by Ruth. Williams is the home run king right ni.w and it is not sure but that his reign will last until the return of the old king, the Bambino. This time last year, George Kelly, the towering first baseman of the Giants, had four homers and he was pretending to the throne of Ruth, who was leading him by only one clout. Kelly was looked upon as a big surprise, but Williams is doing none of the unexpected. With twenty-four homers’ last season, Williams was tied up with Bob Meusel for the runner-up position to Ruth, and when the hard-hitting Brown slipped it to friends down South this spring that he was goiug after Babe this season. no one thought that the hot sun was affecting him. The way Williams is acting now. Ruth will have the unusual duty of tagging along behind, for a while at least. Major league sluggers are managing to keep right around the clout record established last season, making it appear that the slower ball has uot been put back In play. This time last year American League swatters had hit twenty-four homers; now they have twenty-eight to fheir credit. The National League has twentyfive against tweuty-seven last year.
Local Favorite to Mix With Dayton Bantam in Feature Bout at Fort The south side will have another favorite to back tomorrow night when Maxie Epstein, bantamweight, will meet Eddie Grant of Dayton, in the main go of ten rounds at Ft. Benjamin Harrison. The little fellows will battle at 116 pounds ringside. Maxie has done most of his boxing away from here and local fans are anxious to see how much he lias improved recently. In bouts at Dayton, Epst&in made quite a hit, and he is said iO possess fine ring generalship and boxing ability. In the semi-windup of the Thursday show Jack Carbone and Spike Kelly, two local welterweights, will mix for eight rounds at 142 pounds. These hoys have been principals in several recent shows held at the fort and It is known that they have the ability to put up a real affair. In the preliminary bout of the evening Kid Winters of Indianapolis, and Kid Burch of Chicago, will mix it for four rounds at 125 pounds. Tickets for the Thursday fistic carnival are on sale at the following downtown places: Ciaypool drug store, Spalding's.

HaTe you a little Kuth in your home? The .St. I.outs ltroons answer In the affirmative and point to Ken Williams, who yesterday hit his sixtlx homer In four days. With a man on base, Williams smote one of Ehmke's fast ones for a round trip and aided considerably In the Krowns* defeat of the Detroit Tigers. He is now ahead of Ruth's 1921 record on this date. Lee Meadows, usually effective against the Giants, was rushed to the wall In 6hort order yesterday, the champions winning another from the Phillies without undue stress and strain. It was a case of the ex-phlllies beating the exGiants. Os the former there was Rapp, Walker, Fletcher, Henline and Georg*Smith in the Philadelphia line up and Bancroft, Rawlings and Meusel, former Phillies, were with the Giants. Tom Phillips gave another impressive exhibition in shutting out the Boston Red Sox, 10 to 0, and Clark Griffith now bolds the undisputed championship in long distance smiling. The five-thumbed Olson bobbed up with an error at a critical moment Otherwise, Dutch Reuthor, the reformed Dodger, would have shut the Boston Braves absolutely out. As it was, Dutch pitched the Dodgers' to victory and contributed to the general hilarity with a home run into the right field bleachers, one of the longest hits ever made av Braves' field.

LIVE COMMENT ON FEATURE TOPICS BY N. Y. SCRIBBLER BY DAVID -T. WALSH.
NEW YORK. April 2(5. —Some of our best citizens, Benjamin Block included, are quite exercised because a published report had Morvlch, the Derby favorite, running a very anaemic looking time trial in private the other day. Block, who owns the horse, issues a denial. In the first place, he says, that Morvich is not given workouts In private and avers that he does not indulge in anaemic looking time trials in any case. So much for that. The story was published by Tom Thorp, an authority on matters of the turf. Mr. Thorp does not claim to have witnessed the workout in question, but says he considers the Integrity of the men responsible for the story as being above reproach. The story, by the way, had Morvich wavering badly in a trial at a mile and a sixteenth, the colt being so weary, according to the story, that he swerved far off the rail and finished in the middle of the track. A tired horse always bears out from the rail. And there you have all the dirt in one dustpan. It may be true and it may not. Ben Block says It isn't and brands the story as a vicious canard designed to influence the odds. Thorp says he doesn't know anything about that part of it. but that he has faith in the source of this information. Right or w rong, however, it Is all very comforting to the boys who Joyfully accepted odds of 2 to 1 on Morvich to win the Derby. Here is an interesting tidbit or so on the baseball situation. Everybody grants that the Washington Senators, given any kind of pitching, are as dangerous as dandruff. We think we see some pitching coming the good Mr. Griffith's way right now. Yesterday young Tom Phillips held the

Very Feu' Spitball Pitchers Left The spitball is under the ban In most of the professional baseball leagues. There are some miuor leagues that stiil permit the use of that style delivery. Such action Is really a mistake on the part of th" minors permitting It, and a greater mistake for a pitcher to use it, even if having the right The minor leagues hope to sell their stars to the majors. The majors are the goal of every minor league player. A pitcher who uses the spitball in the minors is killing his chances to show In the majors, sluce that delivery is barred by both big leagues When the major.-! adopted the rule it was decided that ail pitchers then In the league that used the spitball should be permitted to continue its use, but no new pitchers could adopt it. The use of the spittall by a pitcher who has no such right calls for a ten-day suspension in the majors. There are about fifteen pitchers in all who have the right to use the spitbuli in the two major leagues. ...j.-I-Speaker Flay Fails as Mates Bungle Tris Speaker of the Cleveland Indians Is a great manager, lie is an equally great outfielder, perhaps even more go. Speaker uses his head In running his ball dub and In playing the outfield. In a recent game ut Detroit Manager Speaker of the Cleveland Club pulled a bit of outfitld strategy that prolably few other big league outfielders would have even attempted. From Speaker's standpoint his I'rnteglo move worked perfectly. some of the other Cleveland players, however, failed to think as rapidly as their manager, and a play that would have sniffed out'a raliv, had it been properly comple'ed, resulted In a serious injury to Second Baseman Warabsgnn*. Here is a detailed account of the unusual happening. Jn the first Inning of this grime Cleveland made three runs and Detroit oaine hack with two and had Veach on s* ond, Blue on firs' and one out, with Fotherglll at bat. This wag tho setting when Fothergili hit a fly ball to short centerfleld. Speaker got under the ball, while Blue and \ each field close to thc.r bases Then, Instead of catching tlie ball. Speaker deftly trapped It With the same motion that he trapped the ball he throw It t> Wamhsg:\ns at second. The base runners were at sen ns to what to do. When Wambv received the ball Vem h was standing on second. Blue on first, nlso Fotherglll, who had hit the bull All Wamby had to do to complete a double play was to run over and touch Veach, who was forced to advance, and then toil' ll second, which would have forced Blue. Instead. Wamby, standing a few feet from second, hesitated u moment and then tossed the ball to Gardner, who was also some distance off third. Yeneh then made a break for that bag, and Instead of a double-play being completed, no cue bad as yet been actually retired. Finally, in the runup on Veach, the ball was tossed to Wamby while he was standing on second base, wht 'h forced Blue at that base. The runup on Veach continued. In the meantime Blue, who had been retired, dashed for second. Wamby. noticing a runner coming Into second, and possible thinking It was Fotherglll, who had 'hit the ball, Jumped In front of the bug to touch the runner, who happened to be Blue, who had been re tired perhaps fifteen seconds before wt n Wamby accidentally hit the bag with his Toot. Blue slid into second, very high, cutting two deep gashes in Wutnby's leg. He will be fortunate If he Isn’t out fur some time as a result of the mixup. It was a most unusual play, In which the manager thought a hit too quickly for his teammates. It was a bit of strategy that Instead of stopping a rally, resulted in the loss ot a valuable player.
Purdue Defeats Butler and Wins Spring Series
LAFAYETTE, Ind., April 26 Purdue won the baseball series from Butler two games out of three by defeating the Indianapolis team here Tuesday by a 3 to 2 score.

Tuesday's contest was hard fought and close all the way, Staton, who on a previous start, had beaten Coach Lambert s inen, could not quite turn the trick Tuesday, although he pitched a fine brand of bail, Purdue got only five lilts. Ren, pitching his first game for Purdue, went along In great style, allowing only five hits and striking out eight Butlerites. Blissing was the Butler star Tuesday with two doubles off of Rea.

hard-hitting Boston Red Sox to four hits and shut them out. Last week the same Tom would have blanked the Yankees except for a wild throw by Lainott. It would appear that as soon as mild weather begins to look kindly upon Walter Johnson, George Mogyldgc and others, the Washington pitching may not be so careworn at that. Another thought: Ken Williams of the Browns got his sixth home run In four days yesterday and is now ahead of the esteemed Mr. Ruth’s 1921 record. Can Ruth afford to give a man who stings the ball as hard as Williams can and will, a five-weeks’ start and still hope to top the American League in home runs this year ? No matter what sentiment we may entertain on the subject our admiration for the business acumen of Jack Kearns is profound. Here he has the boxing experts of two continents groping about in a species of typographical darkness and he himself merely sits tight, plays his cards and sa)s nothing. Kearns knows almost to a certainty whether Dempsey and Wills will meet in London, Jersey City or nowhere. But he leaves the newspapers to do tile guessing, knowing full well the publicity value of discreet silence. It is noted that Eddie Roush and Garry Herrmann have parted again after a conference lasting approximately five minutes. The elapsed time of the meeting would indicate that neither was In an equable frame of mind on the question or Roush’s 1922 salary, if any. Offhand, we would say that both are wrong. That is. if Roush cannot afford to lose $15,009 and Herrmann cannot afford to lose Roush. Both of which seem highly possible.
Purdue team played excellent ball in the final victory, not an error being chalked up against the Boilermakers.

TRIBE LEAVES AFTER TODAY Indians Depart on Long Trip Following Wind-up Fray With Brewers. Fans were hopeful today that the weather would be kind enough to permit the Indians to cavort at Washington park this afternoon. The contest scheduled between Indians and Brewers today was to be the Tribe fans’ last chance to see their favorites perform until May 30. The squad will be piloted out of Indianapolis tomorrow noon and will not return until Decoration day. Starting a road trip at Minneapolis Friday the Indians will keep moving until every city in the circuit has been visited before they again perform at AA'ashlngton park. It will be some trip, but Manager Hendricks believes he 1s prepared for it and though he knows it will be mighty difficult to stay up near the top while playing in enemy territory, he is convinced his athletes are determined to battle all handicaps and he predicts that if his pitching staff holds up that the team will return to the home lot May 30, still holding forth in the first division. Tiller Pug Cavet was slated to do the flinging for the Tribesmen in the series wind-up fray with the Brewers this afternoon. It was his turn to pitch yesterday, but everybody got a vacation when the rain made an all-morning stand. Owner William C. Smith, Sr., and Hayward Smith, assistant club secretary, will accompany the team on its long road Journey. Owner Smith may leave ths team a few days to take in the Kentucky Derby May 13. Great preparations are being made in Minneapolis for the opener there Friday. The Miller fans havo become wild-eved over the showing CantlUon’s team has been making in enemy camps. Catcher Krueger is leading the Tribe regulars with tho bat. Sicking and Purcell are close up. Sicking’s hitting is causing the greatest amount of talk, for if he keeps up good stick work he'll surely go back to the majors. Ralph Shlnners, former Tribe outfielder sold to the New York Giants, was hit oh the head by a pitched ball by Pitcher Smith of the Phillies yesterday and was forced to retire from the game. Friends of Shinners here hope the hurt is not serious for the speed boy has been making good for McGraw in tha center field job. Fans regret to see the Indians leave for such a long trip, but schedules are schedules and the Tribe will get a long stay at home later. With the Indians gone the Taylor A. B. C.s will cavort at Washington Park, opening a series there with the Cuban Stars Sunday.
