NEWS of the DAY IN

SPEED MOUNTS TUNED UP AND PILOTS READY Field of Twenty-Eight Ex : pected to Get Away on the Big Grind. FINAL TRIALS TODAY Tomorrow is the biff day, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway the place, the 6tarting time 10 o’clock, and from that time until late in the afternoon the fastest speed cars in the world will he sent around the Mg course in the international motor sweepstakes for fame and gold. Some will only part of the way, but disappointment goes with the event, and whether a car finishes or drops out, every pilot will have done his best to get in the money. Twenty- six drivers had qualified machines by Sunday evening and three more were to take last-minute tests this afternoon in order to be eligible to participate In the greatest motor race of the yepr. It Is believed that twenty-eight cars will start, the D'Webr being doubtful. Howard Wilcox, leading Indianapolis pilot, took his time trial late Sunday afternoon, leaving three to try It today. Frank Davidson's IVWehr. William Gardner's Bentz Special and Jack Curtner's Fronty-Ford. These drivers had until 3 o’clock today to meet the time requirements, and if they did not get ready by that time with the stipulated speed they will be scratched and their cars left in the garages tomorrow when the starting bombs explode. Foreign mounts and Yankee mounts will battle it out for the big honors In the historic five-century grind, the two French Ballots and Wilcox's Peugeot stacking up as the strongest contenders from across the sea. The English entrant, the Bentley, driven by Douglas Hawkes, is not thought possessed of the ; necessary power to push the American- j made mounts for the laurels. As for the Yankee favorites, there arc plenty. Imesenbergs. Frontenacs, Monroes and some special makes are all set and ready to step out with dazzling i speed. Tommy Milton and Ralph De j Falma. two former winners, are to pilot ] mounts that have displayed great power j In the practice spins, and other promt- i nent pilots of Yankee cars rate.] high in | the estimation of eloge race followers are j Jimmy Murphy, Roscoe Sarles, I.eon Duray, Tom Alley, Cliff Durant and Ralph Mulford. Jules Cioux and noward Wilcox, also ; former winners, arc expected to be con- ■ tenders ail the way with their foreign machines ,as Is Eddie liearne, who will team with Goux in a Ballot. In trying to guess the winner, Speed- j way fans are having a deep problem. There are so many drivers eligible to the favorite class that no one car stands out above the field. Indianapolis sport followers are flocking to the support of : Wilcox, even though he qualified late. That Howdy has something th’s year seems to be the opinion of many close observers.

Billy Evans Says

A play that always creates trouble In baseball is where a base runner is compelled to hold his base on a fly ball that is caught before he tries to advance. • • • Hundreds of times dijring the summer arguments arise over this play. Asa matter of fact every time a runner advances a base on a fly ball that is caught his right to do so is questioned. • • • If the runner happens to be on third at the time and is able to score on such a hit all the more attention Is paid to the play. • • • I know one major league manager who evidently has Instructed his players to return the ball to the base a runner left every time the play comes up and appeal to the umpire for a ruling. ... A number of times I have had players on his team make an appeal to me when it was apparent that th<- runner had not left too soon. I ask.-d the manager why such foolishness? He simply replied: *‘lt may look foolish, but it doesn't require much effort to make the play and there Is always a chance we may get the decision from you fellows.’’ • • • It <• a difficult matter for the runner to decide just when to start. It is also a difficult matfer for the umpire to determine whether or not the runner left too <yn. Likewise It la a difficult matter ftf the empire to keep hie eye oe

■ the runner and also the player making the catch. • • • Recently I had a talk with a famous sprinter about beating the gun. He told me that such a thing usually happened. In our conversation the play In which a runner scores from third on a fly ball to the outfield was discussed. • • • The sprinter pointed out that It was possible to get away quicker, and get into your stride easier from a crouch position than standing. Ills suggestion as to this play made an Impression on me. Some day some modern manager is going to try It • out. • • • I It is his idea for the runner on third the moment a fly ball Is hit to the outj field to assume a crouch position, such as . used by sprinters waiting for the crack of the gun. The ruuner Is to pay no attention to the ball. • s • The coacher at third is to do this and act as starter. The runner, crouched on his feet and hands, is to simply await the word go. This word is to be given by the coacher the moment the ball strikes the hands of the fielder. • s s I am positive such a scheme for starting would add at least a step to the base runner. That is often the distance between out and safe I am waiting for I some nianager who believes la lnnevai tlons to try tt out.

TRIBE READY FOR COLONELS Full of Pep After Taking Columbus Series—Pitchers Do Great Work. The Indians are back home full of vix. and vigor after sweeping the series at Columbus and are ready to tackle their old rivals, the Louisville Colonels, in u double-header at Washington Park tomorrow afternoon. Today was an off-day as the scheduled contest was moved up for the double bill at Columbus yesterday. Hendricks and the rest of the Tribe are wearing booad smiles after Ihe sensational work of the pitchers in the Senator series. One lone run was all that the Buckeye team could score in four games against the slants of Hill. Weaver and Jonnard. The splendid work of Jonnard recently secured from the Giants, and the return to form of llill. the spectacled moundsnian, bus put a lot of zip in the club. 1 With pitching the Indians should go | far nnd it looks as though the tiurlers ; are starting to deliver. It is said that | the shut out hall twirled at Columbus is an Association record. The Senators were blanked for thirty-four innings. The first three games were shut-outs anil the | lone run of the series went over the rubber In the eighth frame of the fourth [ contest. Hill was tlie big noise in the series, pitching two games nnd winning both. Sundays games were pitching duels. Tite first game went to the In-Jians, 2 to 0. Jonnard allowed only six hits, while Sanders and Snyder were nicked for ten. All of the scoring came it. the second inning when the Hendricksn.en pushed two runs over as the result of hits luivetl with some loose play. In the second game Hill was tight with the 1 ase knocks mid permitted only five blows. The Indians scored two rl-riit at the Jump on Baird's and Kolig's triples and an error. Another came over in the fourth on Schrelber's tripe and Sb-klng's single. Tite Indians' road record was excel lent as a r-sult of titeir strong finish, the team winning ti teen games and losing teu Sweep Series FIRST GAME. Indianapolis. AB. K. It O. A. E.

BIG LEAGUE STUFF

Rogers Hornsby stepped blithely Into the lead among the major league home-run hitters by culling a pair of them from deliveries of three Pirate pitchers Sunday, bringing liis season’s total up to thirteen. These, with McHenry’s homer, iweountod for the Cardinals' four runs and sent Pittsburgh on its way with the short end of the series. The Yanks once atrn'n fell before the mastery of Walter Johnson, who held them to seven hits In ten innings. The Senators came from belt'.- l, tied the score In the eighth and won In the tenth when Judge's single was followed i>y Hrower's double. Judge also lilt a homer In the eighth, tying the score. The Browns, with Gerber pulling aernhatie stops afield, gave Dunforth sensational support and in consequemc won the final game of the serins with the M iiite Sox. Messrs, Oaveny and Plnelli obliged with errors in tbe sixth and Grimes followed with a single, giving the Cutis a victory over the Iteds. Pitchers on both teams were roundly abused, Clique and Alexander retiring in disorder at an early moment. Zach Wheat’s homer put the Dodger* In the way of a rally In 4m eighth. In width all of Brooklyn’s four runs were scored. But they wore not enough, the Braves having gotten to Grimes and Smith for exactly live In the first three innings. The Giants won easily from the Phillies. 8 to 1, in a game quite without incident. Cunningham furnished the only feature with a great running catch off Williams in the opening Inning. The Tigers got away running in the llrst few Innings against Bagby and Lindsey and Jnst managed t-o last to the wire. The Indians came strong la the Anal Innings, but didn’t quite make the grade, losing 7 to ft.

Have Found Out Babe's Weakness, Is Cry of Rabid Fans Ruth Xot in Stride Yet Seems to He Real Reason for Slow Start. By DAVID J. WALSH. NEW YORK, Ma.l.-h 29-The pitchers have discovered Katie Ruth's groove. J'hat, if you care to listen to the men in the stands is the explanation of Ruth's failure to hit more than the siz- of his shoe In ttie first week as a reinstated 1 .ink--*’. 11— groitvi they aver. Is a low curve over tiie inside corner. t>y the use of wlilcti it is iillog.-d our esteemed Babe i made to look like t’y Falkenberg throwing the hammer. The discovery of Ruth s V’-akie-ss. they say, dates bn<-k to the last world's series, when the Giant pitchers fed him with low, slow curve balls over the inside corner and the Babe waxed exceedingly thin. Now. if is said, every pitcher In baseball knows tiie secret and Is acting a■ -c"rdiugly No more of these home run si-am-es for tlii’ Babe: no season average ranging well op around .380; no passing of the big slugger in tiie pinches to g”t at a lyss strenuous mate. That sort of business, according to the grand stand g.—sips. is out like the family cat at daybreak Are th• -> right? They are not. Any ball player, pitchers especially, will t-!i you that Babe Ruth has no batting weakness. He can and will hit any Du It that comes within reach of his but. be it high, low. Inside or out. He is, however, handicapped In comparison with other hitters, by his prodigious swing. This requires the most delicate of timing; so delicate, lit fact, that the ball players never lived who could take the same swing 'and get away with It. Right now Ruth is short of work nnd his eye has yet to adjust itsoif When it docs pitchers will ceass to fool him. I’IIILLIKS SFSI-F.ND KING.

After Inspecting the big canvas covere(J arena at Alabama and Ohio streets, where the all-star boxing show will be held tonight under the joint auspices of the Marion County Council, American Legion and the Loyal Order of Moose, Grover C. Williams, chairman of the committee in charge, expressed himself as well pleased with the arrangements, and stated that everything is ready for the boxers to enter the ring. The doors will open at 7 o’clock, and tiie bouts are scheduled to start promptly at 8:15. The first bout of the evening will be ten rounds between Leo Robert* of Terre Haute who claims the welterweight championship of Indiana, and Bobble Bridges of Indianapolis, whose large following among the fans will be on hand to urge hlrn to victory over the Terre Haute boy. Those who saw them in their six-round affray at the Dillon testimonial know that they will see plenty "f action when these boys swap punches tonight, and Bridges’ admirers believe that with ten rounds to go the Indianapolis boxer will be able to demonstrate his superiority over Roberts. Some hot stuff can tie looked for in the semi-windup, ten rounds, between Jimmy Dalton and Patsy McMahon, both of Indianapolis, rival light weights, both of whom are claiming the lightweight championship of Iloosierdoom, with Dalton having the better of the argument because of the lacing he recently handed McMahon. McMahon always has had a loyal following la Indianapolis, but he realizes that if he is to retain his prestige he will have to beat the south side Italian, and he says that he is going to make the effort of his life to do it. Two hard battling lightweights, Jo* YVeiling of Chicago and Me! Coogan of Brooklyn, will appear in the main go. YY'elliiig is a slashing fighter with a punch in either mitt, while Coogan is past master of tiie art of hitting and getting away. They fought an eight-round draw in Philadelphia flTe months ago that brought the Quaker City fans to their toes, and both are confident of winning within ten rounds. Welling in his workouts at the Plaza roof gym and Coogan at the Hoosier Athletic Club. proved themselves Jn splendid condition. Frank Barry will referee and Grove Williams will do tho announcing. A special invitation is extended to women to witness the bouts. Additional Sports, Page 9
