Harder Fought Race Is Eddie ‘Rick’s’ Opinion Former Speed Pilot and Air Ace Believes Cars Are So Evenly Matched That Pace Is Sure to Be Closely, and Sensationally Contested Throughout. BT E. T. RICKENBACKEB. Official Starter 1928 500-Mile Race. The large entry list for the 500-mile race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Tuesday, May 30, makesdt evident that with the renewal In the racing rivalry of yesteryear this season’s race will be one of the most bitterly contested affairs In the history of the classic. The cars, it appears, are more evenly matched than ever before. This Is caused In a measure by the fact that practically no builder had considered seriously the construction of motors of IS3 cubic inches piston displacement else until It was required by the Indianapolis officials two years ago.

Therefore 7 the designers all started at scratch, and with this the third race the motors have been in vogue all the "bugs" have been worked out of them, and some astonishing results may be expected. For instance. Tommy Milton last year was only a few hundredths of a mile per hour behind the record average Ralph De Palma established In 1915 with the bulky Mercedes. There Is no doubt but that If Milton bvd known he was so near to establishing anew record he could haTe sprinted enough in the closing lap to shatter Ralph's mark. Close finishes —I mean radiator to radiator—are seldom seen In long races. This Is especially true of the first and second cars to finish. But this year it would be not at all surprising to find two or even three or four cars coming down the straightaway to receive the checkered flag together at the end of the 200 laps—close enough to cause unusual commotion in the stands. The margin of difference between the average time of the cars will be slight. But there will, of course, be a great margin of difference in the various drivers. This is always true, and In a list of thirty-two pilots represent' >g the best of America and Europe th • are certain to be a chosen few who ha re that something which causes them to stand out.

Read What Eddie Says In the Times today, on this page, Is an article by Eddie V. Rickenbacker, former speed pilot, airial ace and official starter of the 1922 500-mile race dealing with the coming event. ‘ Rick” is a past master of th 6 racing game and an authority on motor sports. In other words Eddie knows his stuff. He predicts a great battlo here Tuesday May 30. A second article by "Rick" dealing with the "flvecentury" will appear in the Times tomorrow.

But the point I want to make is that the race will be faster than ever before; there will be more speedy driving throughout the entire contest, and there will be only a short space between the cars runing In first, second, third and fourth places. The 500-mlle grind, always anybody’s race until the finish, will be more so this year. A driver running third or fourth at 490 miles may mah Into the lead in the closing mile.

TECH CELEBRATES AS TRACK TEAM BRINGS HOME THE BACON IN STATE H. S. TOURNAMENT

BY HEZE CLARK. Students at Technical High School cele braied today, and well they might, for Coach Black s thinly clads won the State high school track and field meet at Richmond Saturday. It was a victory won over the best field of athletes that ever has gathered at any <>f flat nineteen State champion meets held by the Indiana High School Athletic AssoclaMnn. The 103 athletes front sixty-five schools that qualified at the ten sectional meets were the gJiests of Eariham College. Much credit for the success of the meet is due to the splendid arrangements made by Coaell Ray Mowe of Eariham. The points scored by tho teams were; Technical, IS; Wabash. 15; Anderson, 13; Sheridan. 11; ConnersvlUe, 11; Bedford. 6; Columbus, 2; Crawfordsville, 1; Emerson (Gary), .H; Frankfort, 5: Garret, 1; Geneva, 2: Logansport, 1; Luce Township, 2: Martinsville, 2; Monticello. 3; Noblosville. l; Pine Township. 5; Princeton, 2; Rensselaer, 7: Rtishville, 5; Shortridge. 1; Tipton, 3; Union City, 3; Warsaw, 5. Two records were broken In the broad jump find half mile run. A record in the 220-yard low hurdles was bettered byMarks of Wabash, but in his final heat he knocked over one hurdle, and tho time of that heat can not count as a record. However, he clipped a fifth of a second off of the record In a preliminary heat, and the State board has been asked to allow Marks’ time as anew State record. SHERIDAN BOY SCORES 11 POINTS. To Northam of Sheridan goes the honor of being the champion all round track and field athlete of the State. He scored eleven points and placed his team In a tie with Connorsville for fourth place in the meet. Northam broke the State broad jump record, leaping 2 feet 3"i inches. The old record was made by Martin of South Bend In 1911, when he jumped 21 feet 3 Inches. Northam also won second in both the 100 yards and 220 yards dashs. Coy, the Tipton star, was second in the broad jump. The lion's share of the Teclinl-'nl High School*; pointt were won by Gray, who soo-.-d ten of Tech't eighteen points. Gray was the winner In both the 100 and the 220 yard dashes. While he did not set anew record in these events the conditions slowed up the time. In the 100yard dash, running against a strc.ig win 1 that was anything but warm, his time of 10 2-5 seconds was good. In the “220” Gray’s tltrip was 23 3-5 seconds. The record is held by Blair of Hammond and is 23 seconds. Ilonor for breaking the State record In the half-mile race goes to SpradUng of Frankfort who won the "880” in two minutes and four seconds. The former record made by Brown of Frankfort lr 1917, and was two minutes five and two fifths seconds. Sprndling had a good lead over Branum of Em' .’son High School of Gary. Lewis of Technical, who won third, was close to Ike Gary boy. In

KENNERDELL AS RULING CHIEF OF BIG EVENT Nationally Known Motor Sport Figure Named to Referee 500-Mile Race. OTHER SPEEDWAY TALK Richard Kennerdell, for eight years chairman of the contest board of the A. A. A., the ruling body of major league ! auto racing, will referee the tenth annual 500-mlle international sweepstakes race of the Indiauapolis Motor Speedway May 30. “Uncle Dick,” as he is known in racing circles, grew up with the auto racing sport, having been a noted racer in the days of the high-wheeled bicycle. Last winter he resigned as chairman of the | contest board to give his time to per- ! soual affairs, but did not lose Interest j in the world's greatest speed event. When T. E. (Pop) Myers, secretary and general j manager of the Indiauapolis track, at I the suggestion of Carl G. Fisher, invited. | the former contest board head to referee ! the race ho immediately accepted, i In the conducting of a large automobile | event like the 500-tulle the referee Is the chief executive officer of the race. He interprets all rules and makes special regulations for the contestants, also enforcing the special track rules of the Speedway and the general rules of the | contest board. With his long experience as the head of the rule making anu regulating body, the drivers will wel- ; come the Franklin, Pa., enthusiast as 1 referee. Referee Kennerdell will have an advantage that few men could enjoy in acting in this capacity, ns he is personally acquainted with all the drivers entered for the race. As chairman of the contest board, Kennerdell saw the rise and fall of many speedways and watched the cars develop irom slightly more than eighty miles an hour to their present speeds of 115 and more. This development hag necessitated many changes in the rules from time to time, and his knowledge of all the rules will be invaluable in the conduct of the | greatest race of the year in the spend j world. Cliff Durant, famous California sports- ! man, arrived in Indianapolis Sunday, 110 I will drive his Durant Special, which was i vo be unloaded at the track today. Rooves Dutton, well known in Indianapolis, having been a former member of the Stutx team. Is with Durant. Ray Harronn, winner of the first S0(l-niile race In 1911. and now an executive In the company- manufacturing Disteel wheels u*ed In racing, has arrived tn town. Ilarroun probably will announce the pilot to take Eddie Ilearne's place on the DlstcclDuescnlierg tomorrow. It Is rumored tluit two wdl known sprinters will drive the car, each one half the distance. Rosyo* Series will be the last of the Frontenac c rivers on the track. His car will be ready tomorrow. It is doubtful if the throe California cars of Jimmy Murphy, Tommy Milton and Frank Elliott will bo ready for tbo qualifying trir.ls Thursday. They probably will be unloaded Thursday morning. Jitny Murphy's car tnado 120.3 miles P'-r hour in a recent test at Los Angeles, j Cars qualifying Thursday will have tha preferred spots at the starting tape. The Speedway office was a busy place Sunday. The advance seat sale Is far larger titan any other year. The ticket office will be open every night this week. The Speedway ground* looked desorNd Sunday. Not a single spectator WHs admitted—not even the lilt ■ lizards. 1 mterday and next Sunday '■ Is the big dunce for the Speedway 1 work crew to get the big plat ail slicked up for the big duy. Ralph De Palma, Red Fettennan and Juice Ellingboe of the Pmsenb-rg squadron were on the trnck Sunday afternoon. The two Fronty Fords were there and Art Klein and Loon Duray were present with Froutenacs. Victor Beveridge, an English Journal- ' Ist, is coming to Indianapolis to "cover” the International 500-tulle race for The Motor of London und papers In India, Africa, South America and Australia. News of the world's greaetest auto speed-'" event is flashed to the four corners of the globe immediately after the winner crosses the tape. Newspaper men from all parts of the country are already nr riving to handle tha pre-race newv and on the day of the etent more than 200 writers will be In the press pagoda at the start and finish wire.

the other half-mile race Jackson of Anderson was first. Koetter of Bedford was second and Bryan the HUortridge nigh School boy, whs third, but was close to the Bedford runner. VVliile Gray and Northam were star perfermers still no athlete attracted more attention than Marks of Wabash, winner of both the 120 and 220-yard hurdle races. i( was u mistake for Marks to enter the j 100-yard Cash, for while he qualified fur the finals he failed to place, in that event, and the effort tired him so'thnt he failed ; to win points in the broad jump, an event I m which he has made an excellent record, j FLINT STRONG IN MILE RUN. ! There were two one-mile races. Flint j of ConnersvlUe won the first In 4 tninI utes 40 4-5 seconds. He was not pressed I and should he have opened up his full ! speed may have set anew record. White of t'nlon City was second and Maxwell lof Technical third. In the other mils run Phillips of KushvlUe won la 4 minutes 42 4 5 seconds. , As usual, the two quarter-mile races ! held the interest of the crowd. Ilorelt of ConnersvlUe won the first In 3-1 seconds, running a nice race. B'.akesly of Technical got Into a bad pocket in that race, but got second, beating Harmond of Rensselaer, who won third. Sweeney of Rensselaer, winner of the second 440yard event, was without a question the best of the quurter-milers. His time was 53 seconds by the official wutch.es, but two unofficial watches bad his time tauter than the State record. Technical got a had break In the high hurdles that might have cost the Indianapolis school tho meet. Velsey, the Tech hurler, crossed the finish line in second position, but did not win the second place and three points, as he got out of his alley when within two j ards of tho finish. Miller of Anderson, who finished third, won the second place. Morrow of Wabash won the high jump, clearing the bar at 5 feet 9“* Inches. Lough of Geneva and Cramer of Martinsville were tied for second. From the northwestern part of the State came the champion strong man. La Fon, a power fully built young athlete, heaved the twelve-pound shot forty-five feet 2Va inches. He is a student at Pine Town ship High School. Winchell or Luce Township was tied for second with Krlder of Columbia City. Technical did not win the meet until the final event before the relays. Miller of Anderson won the pole vault at 11 feet 2 Inches, but Graham of Tech did 11 feet, winning second place and getting the three points that gave the Indian spoils school Its victory. Goerte of Noblesvtlle. who had tied Graham In the sectional meet, was third In the State meet Brazil won the first relay In 3 minutes 43 1-5 seconds. Technical was an easy winner In the second relay race In 3 minutes 41 seconds.

INWAIfA DAILY TIMES

An inning kWITH THE

BY DICK MILLER. Rain hit a homer in the third inning of a majority of the Saturday afternoon league games and many results were decided in tjie clubhouses—conversationally. Broadway and Olive Branch finished all of their game, and boys, it was a game. Wilkinson and Stein, had a pitching duel, but the Branch hitters hit at the right time. Olive Branch won 3-2. Kahns must have heard about the mean twirling staff that Kingans carry, for when the Reliables looked for their opposition the Tailors were nowhere to be seen. Kingans els l a forfeit. For a change, most of the Sunday School League games were close when the rain started to fall, the game between Morris Street and North X’ark being 1-1 after six innings. Stafford Tones and Crescent Papers won In a walk. They hammered the old Elll all over the lot and for the number of alls hit errors did not count up bo I numerous In either game. Just good, i clean wallops. [ McFeeley of the American Railway Express still throws that roundhouse by i them. U. S. Tile broke their backs at it Saturday. Powers continues to be the dominating "power ’ of that American Central Life team. He has allowed only three runs in three games and had the National City Bank team blanked when J. Pluvluj stepped to bat. He sure looks good. Billy Holmes would have gone wild had he seen his gang of Caseys put on that eighth inning, netting five runs, to fake their battle with tno Calumets, 12 to 9. It was 9 7 Calumet* when Fsy and Mullln singled for the Caseys. Baker then hit one on the nose for a triple and tied it up. He scored what proved to be the winning run a moment later on Cummings’ single, but, to make it safe, the Caseys put over two more. Little Mick Hanley, ont in the left garden for the Caseys, looked mighty sweet, cutting In with some neat catches that saved Fay, a rookie getting his first start, lots of trouble. He sprung a Charley horse late la the game and bad to retire. Manager Dallv of the Pints* sets a good example. He smacked out a double in tho first with the sacks Jammed, scoring three runs. They beat the La Salles, 13 4. A1 Feeney of the l’lntas got hit or hit one out every time up. Klrkhoff, on the mound for the La Salles, was very wild and several batters couldn't get out of the way. He was hit rather hard, too, six Pinta batsmen getting two blows each. Johnny Gaeth, manager of Traders Point, put a "Hand" In the affair with Stilesvlfle Sunday. Hand proved to be the right choice, holding the Stilesville boys at bay for eight Innings without a score, while tbp Point made fifteen. A triple and fluke fly scored one for tho opposition in the ninth. The Mavwood Grays broke 7l!ensvin*'s winning streak yesterday, winning 5-1. Martin was going good and the Grays hopped on the Zlonsvllle star, Tyron, for hits whUVPthey meant runs. Martin was backed 'up by sterling support featured by five double plays. Paragon took our Indianapolis Athletics, 6-2. Walt Floyd, Manual's star athlete, played left garden for the Athletics. Better watch this Shelbyviile crew if they get a pitcher Twelve runs will win most games. Khelbyvilie has scored fifty six runs In five games, but has won only three of them. Frankfort had things easy with Lebanon, winning 9 1 Lancaster for Frankfort, pitched great Drill. Stelnmeta and Flsse committed more than the average number of errors on tlie left side of Lebanon's infield. The Babe Ruths of the Frankfort team sure aim for those trees in center field. A hit tn them is a sura double. Babb Maftern and his Greensburg crew hopped on Gnlnes of Shelbyvillt* for elch' runs in the firs! stanza and obtained ui undeniable lead, winning in the und, 18-12. Osborne and Benny Finger hit homers. They say the carpenters are busy nailing the hoards back on the fence. It was some slugging match. The Great Easterns admit errors war? their downfall, but the Keystone* c'.ulm that you have to hit them before they can miss them. The Keystones won 75.

The Riley All Stars are stronger this season than last, but find It difficult to nrrunge State games. They were winners of the Times independent tourney last season. The pitching department is especially strong with Fry, veteran semi pro moundsman: Dora, a left hander, and Stokes with a record of twenty five strike outs in an army sontost las; season. The Rileys went games with State teams who have enclosed grounds. Address Riley* manager, 313 North Denny street, or call Irvington 1000. May 23 and 30 are open dates.

The Virginia Stars were defeated by the Central Juniors, ]0 to 9 Sunday. Hay pitched good ball for the losers, but erSahara Grotto Defeats De Molay in Exciting Game of Hits and Runs Rain fnlb'd to dampen 'he charity ardor of the De Molay and Saharrn Grotto ball teams Saturday afternoon and they battled through ten Innings of erratic base ball, before the Grotto team finally gained the decision, 20 15. The members of the two organizations paraded through tho downtown streets displaying their beautifully uniformed bands and drill teams, advertising the fact that the orphans at the Masonic home were to get the proceeds of the game following nt Washington Park. The fun department, too, was on hand strong and the crowd was treated to a half an hour of laughs and screams. The morle men worked overtime getting all the stints put on, and then the real game be"an. Due to some lusty hitting the Grotto was six runs to the good In the ninth Inning, the score being 15 to 9. The ball was wet and tho field was getting muddy. Burling, on the mound for the Grotto. up until this time had displayed good control, but something happened to it. After retiring two of the De Molay batsmen. the bs’loon went up and before the Grotto' co’ ' get the third man out, De Molay h: cored six runs uud knotted the score. That sent the game into the j tenth. C r >tto did a quick come-back, ; however, and scored five runs, winning the game, 20 to 15. Peterson of De Molay lost his bearings and couldn't find the plate. Burling got back on his stride ' and toe De Molays were retired without a run In their half of the tenth. This was one time when youth was not served, for Youth (De Molay) couldn’t i subdue Ape (Sahara Grotto) and the j "oldtlmers” cashed In. 1

INDIANS DROP SUNDAY BILL Lose Two Out of Three Over Week-end and Move to Toledo. LOUISVILLE. May 22.—Jack Hendricks’ Indiana were In Toledo today and they were glad of it, presumably, for they didn’t have much luck here. In fact the Colonels defeated them, two out of three. The Saturday score was 4 to 0 in favor of the Indians and in the Sunday double-header the Colonels took both ends of the afternoon’s pastlming, 6 to 4 and 2 to 0. Carmen Hill pitched the shutout for the Hooaiers Saturday. In the opener Sunday Pug Cavet started on the mound and was sailing along In fine style until the seventh, when he blew up and away went the ball game. Petty and Bartlett finished. In the second contest Sunday, Harry Weaver and Ernie Koob hooked up in a pitching battle and Harry lost. The Colonels got five hits and the Indians three. The Indiana certainly hated to get hooked twice the same day, but they were all out of luck. About 100 fans from Indianapolis were in the stands pulling hard for the Hendrlcksmen and the Tribesmen tried to deliver, but to no avail. The Weaver-Koob hurling battle was

fast and the game was played In one hour and twenty minutes. In looking around for the Jinx a Trite fan from Indianapolis spied Shorty Burch, score card expert, announcer and "wrasler.” “Now I know why wo lost ’em both,” the fan shouted. “Look who's here I” Cavet seemed to have the first game so well in hand that no one was wanned up in the seventh when he weakened, and before Petty could get ready the Colonels bad created the fatal damage. The attendance was big for Louisville, more than 6,000 being present. It was a hard game for Weaver to lose. Two Indians were cut down at the plate because of poor coaching at third base. Manager Hendricks occupied the first-base coaching box in games here aud he had bench men stationed, at third. They didn't know their stfiff. BERRY RELEASED; YERKES COMING President William C. Smith of the Indians returned from Louisville today, where he attended the races and attended the three Tribe-Colonel battles. He said Manager Hendricks lost no time in giving Howard Berry, inflelder obtained from the Giants recently, his outright release after getting a look at the former Pennsy College star. Berry did not measure up to Class AA standard In Hendricks’ estimation and the Tribe boss let him go. Owner Smith said it was a case of "in on one train and ont on tha other” for Berry. President Smith said Steve Yerkes had Informed him that ha would be ready to report for duty the first of June or shortly afterward. Yerkes has been delayed In his baseball activities because of business reasons, but he hopes to get away soon. Sieve will be used as utility infielder and pinch hitter and his presence s expected to bolster things in general. Smith said Carmen Hill pitched great ball Saturday aud apparently has lilt his stride.

LIGHT HEAVIES IN TITLE BOUT TUESDAY NIGHT Tunney’s Only Hope Greb Rests in Slipping Over Knockout. 15 ROUNDS TO DECISION’ By DAVIS J. WALSH. NEW YORK, May 22.—With counten. ance as serious as a case of bubonic plague, Frank (Doc) Bagley predicts that Gene Tunney will defend his American lightheavyweight championship against the eccentric advances of Harry Greb to such effect tomorrow night that Harry will not be among those present at tha end. Bagley is predicting that his man will win by a knockout, which, is ths only way he can win from Greb. All indications point to Greb outpoint, lng any man of his weight in a limited round engagement, and the writer, in company with many others, believes that Tunney has neither the speed nor tha punch to get Greb inside of fifteen rounds. Yet Bagley is sincere in his dec. laration, and strangely enough has man. aged to convince men whose conviction* might be said to be bard boiled. Tunney never has shown any particula* ability, even In winning the title from the decrepit Bat Levinsky. He is fast without being actual!) - unlawful about it, and he hits just well enough to gain respect. That is our impression of Tun* ney, but Bagley says it is wrong as ra< poison. Tunney has never been allowed to show his best, he avers, and give* his reasons forthwith. "You never saw Gene let out, but yod will see him do it tomorrow night,” de. dared Bagley. "We have brought him along gradually, letting him win unde* wraps for the most part. He could have stopped some of the men he has met In a punch or two, but a man never learn* very much that way. Gene has been ini there to get experience against all com. ers, and now that he has it, watch him step. He will stop Greb before tha limit and I think he will do it with a left hook.” It is presumed that the good doctor expects Tunney to accomplish this by getting inside Greb’s defense, about ths only way to beat Hurricane Harry. Thl* is a very worthy undertaking.
