Noblesville Wins Meet
VETERAN PILOT WORKS ON CAR Dave Lewis to Drive ScheelFrontenac, May 30, Dave Lewis, the first of the out-of- j town pilots entered in the international 500-mile race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Wednesday, ■May 30, to arrive in the city, is alN*ady at work on ills Scheel-Frontenac in Louis Chevrolet's racing plant. Lewis, a member of the old school of racing pilots. has been cut of consistent competition for several years. The entrance of Lewis in the race Is somewhat of a surprise, however. He was In Indianapolis on a business trip. Naturally he visited his former racing haunts and rolled into Chevrolet’s shop where everything is agog with preparation for the four ScheelFrontenacs which are entered for the long May drive. "I’d like to drive one of those crocks,” said Dave in more of a reverie than in a spirit of expectancy. Chevrolet patted Lewis on the back and said, “You would like to drive, eh? Well take off your coat and get to work on your car.” Mud Hens Take First INDIANAPOLIS AB. R. H. O. A E.

GORDON, SECOND BASE
TWO OF TECH’S PITCHERS—LEFT TO RIGHT—JORDAN AND PURDY. PURDY IS A SOUTHPAW.
Getting off a long ball from the tee, a player finds that the ball is resting in some casual water through the green, making it impossible to play same. Knowing that under the rules he has a right to lift the ball and drop It within two j clubs’ lengths of the margin, he does so. There Is a slight drop to the ground at the spot where the ball was dropped and It proceeds to roll baok into casual water. Has the player the right to again lift the ball drop It? Is there a penalty attached to the second dropping of the ball? If a player after lifting the ball from casual water, drop same, only so have It roll back Into the water, the ball may again be redropped without penalty. Flayer requests that the flagstlck be removed as he makes ready to approach the hole. His caddie removes the flagstlck. The player makes a far too strong approach and the ball overruns the hole and strikes the flagstlck, held by the player’s caddie. Had pot the ball struck the flagstlck it would probably have rolled into a sand trap on the side of the green. Is there a penalty for the failure of the caddie to get the stick out of the course taken by the ball? Such action on the part of the caddie makes the player liable to the loss of the hole. HOOSIER ROVERS AND WESTVILLE MEET SUNDAY The Hoosier Rovers soccer team of this city will meet the Westville eleven Sunday at 2 p. m. at Eighteenth St. and Sugar Grove Ave. It is a regularly scheduled game in the Indiana and District Soccer League. In the last two games the Rovers have been unfortunate in having several of their best players on the hospital list, but every member is reported to be in good condition for the game on Sunday. The strongest eleven possible will be on hand to battle Westville which has been going at a fast clip all season. Forsyth, a former Indianapolis soccer club player, Will appear In the Westville line-up.

THE THIRD BASE BLEACHERS AT TECHNICAL. FROM ALL INDICATIONS THEY WILL BE JAMMED WHEN SHORTRIDGE AND TECH CLASH IN THE FIRST CITY SERIES GAME TUESDAY
FIRST OF CITY SERIES BALL CONTESTS CARDED AT EAST SIDE SCHOOL Shortridge Will Got Severe Test in Game VVith TechLocal Teams Win Over Lebanon and Bloomington Friday, Technical High School and Shortridge will meet Tuesday at 3p.m. in the lirst of the inter-city baseball games.

There are additional seating arrangements directly back of the home plate backstop and other bleachers near first base. From present indications a crowd of not less than 3,(i00 will witness the contest
Both Shortridge and Tech won Friday. Technical continued its heavy hitting and defeated Bloomington at the east side field in a seven inning game. 16 to 4 Shortridge went to Lebanon and returned home with a 13-to-ll victory. Technical seems to have a strong prep aggregation, with the exception of one or two places. Coach Mueller bos a number of pitchers, but none of them ;us yet have proved very dependable. Shortridge. however, is in the same tlx. Good pitchers seem to be a scarce article around the local high schools. Technical probably will line up with Schultxe latching; Caskey, lb; Gordon. 2b; Jordan, ss; Rabe, 3b; Mercer, If; Rush, cf; Cottrell, rs. The pitching selection is in doubt. Peterson or Dearmln will start. Shortridge probably will line up with 11. Dixon pitching; Christena, c. Sims. 1b; Van Znnde, 2b: Sayco, ss, Franklin. 3b: Hulstnan. If; Thatcher, cf; Brown, rs. Woodward may get a chance in the box and Kinzar is another catcher. Shortridge did not have a team last year and too much must not be ex pected of the youngsters. Coach Julius is working hard with the inexperienced players and hopes to make a creditable showing as tho team gains confidence.
