FOUR FORMER WINNERS (Continued From Page One.) appearance of this make of car In American racing and the entry which was cabled did not give any details regarding the car. Every race must hare its millionaire, that is. every Indianapolis race. .Toe Boyer, Detroit speed king, does not ap pear this time, bnt R. Clifford Durant, son of W. C. Durant, has named a Durant Special for the event. Durant has not driven for two years, but has decided to try a comeback. The car he will drive is the one which Tommy Milton used the latter part of last season to win the 1921 point championship, and which Milton turned back to him recently when Tommy got delivery of his new car. .Timmy Murphy, who won the 1921 French Grand Prix. was the last driver to file bis entry. Just what car he will drive has not been announced. Rosooe Sar es. runner-up last year, has switched from the Duesenberg brand to one of Louis Chevrolet's Frontenacs. Roscoe is a diring driver. In his first race in California he stood his car on end and smashed it to keep It from hitting careless spectators, but a week later had It rebuilt and raced again. He has been one of the most consistent finishers In the game for three seasons. Being a native of the Hoosier State, he will carry the hopes of a lot of the Indiana fans Eddie Hearne and Ralph Mulford. who met with De Palma and Wilcox, are veterans of the first 600 in 1911. will he among the starters again this year. Both Hearne and Mulford are to be reckoned in the final accounting. Hearne was one of the first of the millionaire drivers of the road racing days of almost a decade and a half ago, and was a star before many of the present day drivers were out of knee pants. Mulford's career dates back to the same era. Hearne, however, is showing his age and. being bald, he is known ir. racing circles as “Grand Pop." while Mnlford still looks as young as the youngest pilot. Mulford and Wilcox have never missed a 500-mile race at Indianapolis. Among other drivers entered who will bear watching are: Art Klein. Harry Harts. Jules Ellingboe, Wilbur D’Alene and Tom Alley. Klein Is a daring driver and always gets all the apeed out of a car. This year he is driving a Fronrenac for Lonis Chevrolet, a car he has successfully campaigned In the winter race* on the West coast. Harry Hartz. the Juvenile of the field, won the recent San Carlos race at San Francisco, piloting the Dnesenberg he will drive here Jules Ellingboe took Percy Ford’s ChioagoI'rontenae a year ago as a relief driver and put it in third place at the finish. This time he has switched to the Duesenberg brand. D’ALENE CAPTAIN OF MONROE TEAM. Wilbur D'Alene is captain of the Monroe fleet of three cars. Wilbur has been driving for years, his best performance at Indianapolis being as runner-up to Dario Resta in 191(5. ’’Soldier Tom’’ Alley, a merchant on the famous old National teams, and for several years a driver. Is going to be a team mate for D'Alene. Last vear Tom drove a Frontenac and was in third place when mechanical trouble eliminated him at about the half-way mark. Joe Thomas, formerly mechanic for Eddie Pullen, was one of the late entries. In the Fresno speedway race recently. Thomas was taken ill and for a time It was thought that he would have to nndergo an operation. However, he recovered in time to file his entry for the Hoosier event and has started East to prepare for the contest. He will drive a Duesenherg. I. P. Fetterman. the sorrel topped Pittsburgh lad, who gained fame as a driver of stock rar races at Fniontown. la driving a Duesenherg. He was a relief on th° 1920 Duesenberg team and knows the track. Newcomers this season include Jack Curther and C. Glenn Howard, who have entered the first “flivvers" in the history of the world's greater race. These cars are rebuilt Fords, the engines having been changed by the Chevrolet Brothers and are known as “Fronty” Fords. In addition to being Fords the two oars will be equipped with wireless receiving sets, by which drivers hope to communicate with the pits by radio. Others making their bows include E. G. (Cannon Ball) Baker, another Chevrolet protege, driving a Frontenac; Lora L. Corum, with a Monroe, entered, hut not a starter a year ago: Frank Davidson, piloting a D'Wehr; William H. Gardner, driving a Bentz Special. Erwin G.

BLOOMINGTON, May s—Crossing the Pacific In the teeth of an eighty-mile gale which dashed one sailor to death and which kept most of the ship's Hoosier passenger* seasick was the experience of the Indiana University baseball team on its way to play a spring series in Japan, according to letters received here Thursday from the State University party. Cold and storm prevented the workouts on deck which Cuach Levis had planned to put his man in condition ror games with tho Oriental players from Waseda University, Tokio. The men arrived with * burden of extra fle*h and with legs wobbling from the terrific ocean trip • The following interesting account of the trip across the Pacific was written by Harold D. Lynch of Evansville, one of the Indiana athletes: “The passage fcas been one storm after another, until yesterday (April 12), when the wind calmed down and the sea became as smooth as a pool table.

The contest was a pitching tussle between Goldsberry for tbe locals and Reinhardt for the Engineers, w:th tbe former having the better of the argument.

Reinhardt was given fine support by his Rose Poly mates both on the infield aud in the outfield. Wabash got eleven hits, but was stopped In rallies several times by sharp fielding by tbe visitors. Dale, Scarlet right fielder, distinguished himself by a sliding catch of a foul and also by driving Ash home with the winning run. The deciding marker came when Ash, first up in the twelfth, singled, advanced on Wyatt's sacrifice and scored on Dole's single.

Rumors of War at Princeton Between Athletic Factions Recent Faculty Ruling Declaring Athletes Ineligible Causes Split With Alumni, By DAVIS J. WALSH. NEW FORK, May s,—Coming as a bit of backwash from the athletic controversy now simmering among Harvard, Yale and Princeton is the news today of an impending internal broil at Princeton between the al'umnl and the faculty for the control of athletics. The first Intimation of the split is contained in a letter from William H. Deyo, IDIO of Anniston, Ala., published in the Princeton Alumni Weekly today. Among other things, Doyo charges that Howard MeClenahun, dean of the college, took action that was wholly arbitrary and uncalled for in barring certain athletes recently because they accepted loans in order to defray their collegiate expenses. This violates a rule of the Harv:,rd-Yale-Princeton agreement, and the eDyo letter asserts that It was distorted by the dean "to a point where honest athletes were made to feel like criminals.'’ Deyo demands some reforms In the control of athletics at Princeton. Princeton men apparently looked for reciprocations from Harvard and Yale and were somewhat shocked when both raised a virtuous eyebrow and said that they were doing very nicely. Since then there have been nasty allusions to the lack of athletic honesty among certain members of Harvard and Yale varsity teams, some of these going beyond the present day outfits to the extent of Instating that Eddie Casey, former all-American back at Harvard was paid a salary for playing football there.

Billy Evans Says

Groh One of Best Third Sackers Groh Is generally regarded as the outstanding figure of the present crop of major league third sackers. During his major league career Groh’s batting aver-.. ave has varied from .269, his low mark, to .331, his b#st average, made In 192 L Groh has batted better than .300 in four years of his career. Groh s first professional experience was with Oskosh of the Wisconsin -Illinois league in 1908. In 1910 he was secured by the Cleveland club of the American League but was turned back to Oshkosh. He later joined the Decatur club of the Three I League. New York Nationals purchased him from that club In 1911. He was sent to Buffalo by the Giants for a part of the 1912 season and later recalled. McGraw in 1914 traded him to Cincinnati to secure Pitcher Arthur Fromme. Last year McGraw got him back by giving Cincinnati George Burn*, Gonzales and a big wad of money. Groh was born Sept. 18, 1890, at Rochester, N. T. -I- -I- -I- *1- -IInfield Fly Rule Explained Fully The infield fly by rule was made to protect the base runner from being doubled up by having an inflelder trap a fly ball. This always possible with first and second, or first, second an dthlrd occupied. Base runners are forced to hold their bases in such cases aad a force play is offered at several bases. With only first base occupied a double play Is never possible If the batsman runs out his hit, aud that Is what he Is supposed to do. That Is why the Infield fly rule does not apply with only first base occupied. When there are runners on first and second, or first, second and third and less than two out and the bastman bunts a ball with the Intent to advance the runners such an attempt is not regarded as a infield fly if the result is a fair fly ball. The reason Is that on such a play the entire Infield Is in morion, Is entirely out of position, and that balls easy to handle under ordinary conditions are impessible to make a play on. On such a play the first baseman dashes In with the pitch to handle a bunt down the first base line, the second baseman come* over to cover first, the shortstop takes care of second, the third baseman moves over to his bag for a possible force play, and the pitcher dashes over to the third base line to handle a bunt in that direction. Thus the Infield is all out of position, and a bunt that results In a fair fly is not regarded as an Infield fly ball that retires the batsman because of the added difficulty In handling it, also the doubt that would always exist as to how the umpire might rule on It.

Lewis Says He f ll Prove Good Little Man Can Hit Hard Ted Confident He Can Defeat Carpentier in Coming London Scrap. By TED (KID) LEWIS. LEWIS’ TRAINING CAMP, HARROW-ON-HILL, England, May 5.—1 never aim for anything I can't hit, and my fight with Georges Carpentier has been the aim of my life. I am certain I can hit Carpentier hard enough to beat him, and I will, too. Georges says that a good, big figbtei Is better than a good little fighter, and 1 reply with ample evidence at my disposal that the time is past when good little fighters were always beaten by good big fighters. Carpentler is the best fighter at any weight in Europe. He is quick and plucky and has excellent knowledge of ring craft. His right hand punch is deadly, but he has only a right hand punch. Carpentier can rightly claim the light heavyweight championship of Europe. I think I can claim the light heavyweight championship of America by virtue of the fact that I defeated Boy McCormick, who had beaten I.evinsky when Leviusky was recognized as the light heavyweight champion of America. Carpentier will weigh in at 154 pounds. At the meet I will weigh 154 pounds. Therefore, there will be only ten pound* difference between us, which is uegllgible. I am confident that after next Thursday night’s fight I will be the world's light heavyweight champion. I will watch Georges' good right hand; but he wants to watch both of mine.—Copyright, 1922, by International News Service,

INDIANS STILL POUNDING BALL FOR LONG HITS Krueger Gets Another Homer Off Saints—Other Tribesmen Catch Fever. TEAM IS TRAVELING FAST ST.* PA’JL, May o.—Oh, boy, they're caling ’em the “Hlttin* Hooslers" up In these parts! Ernie Krueger is the chief gun of the lot. Five home runs In three baseball days for that bird! He got his fifth cir* cult smack of his twin cities visit yesterday when he lifted the ball to distant parts In the third Inning. The ball cleared the skating rink back of left field and now the Saint fans are howling for the owners of Lexington Park "to get that skating rink out of there." Rehg and Covington also poled homers, Morrison go a pair of triples, Cavet a triple and Schreiber a double. "Hlttin' Hooslers” is right! The score was 10 to 2. with the Hooslers on the long end and. as a result, the Ilendrlcksmen are still running a dead heat with the Columbus Senators for first place in the A. A. race. In the battle today It was thought that Clint Rogge would be assigned to fling em over for the Indians. Jack Hendricks is out to capture all the games possible while his athletes are pounding the ball nnd he believes he has the Saints on the run. The Indians are here through Sunday and, with the team getting one or more homers each day, the fans are wondering what kind of a total the Tribe will have by the time leaving day comes. In seven official times at bat Krueger got five home runs. He started his circuit string in Minneapolis Monday when he clouted for a round trip. No gamel was played Tuesday and on Wednesday he slammed out three homers In four official times up. Then in his second appearance at the plate yesterday he stung another for the distance. Ernie also got a single yesterday just to help his grand batting average along. Morrison got four hits out of four trips yesterday, two of the blows being for three base*. Pug Ca'et distinguished bimself with tbe bat also by getting three safeties. The Saints got eleven hits off Cavet, but only two runs. Same old Pug. What's more. Pug stole a baie. The veteran is growing younger. The Indians gave Cavet faultless support and threw in two double plays to prove their class. Columbus was enabled to stay neck-and-neek with the Indians by blanking Milwaukee. 1 to 0. The Millers are only one-half game behind the leaders. The race is plenty hot. In addition to slugging the ball to all corners the Indians are starting to run bases in effective manner. If the pitching staff does Its share the Hendricksmen are going to be bard to stop in the pennant fight That's what Minneapolis and St. Paul fans predict after seeing the Hooslers in action. The Indians were interested today in the report from the East that Sam Crane, former Tribe shortstop now with Brooklyn, was on the verge of being sent back to the Hoosiers via the New Y'ork Giants. Brooklyn wants to send Crane to Seattle, but it seems that John McGraw is considering claiming Sam by the waiver mite and then send him to the Indianapolis team as part payment in the Ralph Shinners deal. Manager Hendricks said today that, although hei doubted if McGraw would interfere withl the Dodgers' move to send Crane to Seattle, ne would accept the player if nu de the offer. Sam could be used as utility infielder, for he can play short, second or third. New lowa State Coach COLUMBUS. Ohio, May s.—Sam S. Willaman. former Ohio State backfleld man, nnd for four rears coach of athletics at Cleveland Fast Tech High School, announced Thursdav that he had accepted the position of head football coach at lowa State College at Ames. lowa. His brother, Frank Wlllaman, Ohio State fullback in 1917, 1919 and 1920, will be bis assistant, he announced.
