SPEEDWAY International Aspect to Big Race German Cars Take Track; Cumbersome Vehicles Show Speed, By BLITHE HENDRICKS

INTERNATIONAL, aspects of the great 500-mile race at the Speedway May 30 are becoming more apparent every day. Asa mater of fact, the motor world front beyond the Rurh to California, with the sole I exception, strange as it may seem, of Indianapolis, is well represented ! on the track. Our own home-built I Duesenberg. the Scheel-Frontenacs of Louis Chevrolet and the newly Hoosierized H. C. S. Miller-motored specials being about all that is missing from the course. , -|- -| -|- With cars of three nations. United States, France and Germany. and drivers of seven. Poland. Argentina, Italy, United States, France. England, and Germany, the. motor world will be represented well when the cars roll to starting line May 30. -I- -I- + The German Mercedes took the track for the first time just before sundown Friday. As the big, cumbersome, four cylinder, two seated, travel stained car rumbled out from *s garage with Christian Werner at i® wheel, there waa a scramble for the wall. letter Max Sailer took the wheel. The Germans contented themselves with laps at about eighty-three miles an hour, feeling out the track from pan to top retaining wall. The general consensus of opinion of American and French drivers was this: the cars are heavier than any others: j they ride the track well: the motor j roars with a sound that Indicates great j reserve power; when the blower, and j Individual feature of Mercedes race oar construction is put into action on i the carburetors. It will Increase the i speed fully ten miles an hour: they will ; bear watching. BUT Werner did not have the limelight all to himself with the Mercedes debut. Hardly I had he passed into the first turn than : the angry, high-pitched bark, bark of a motor was heard from behind the pit walls and around Tom Beall's lunch stand its wheels hurling cinders j in all directions, spun the lithe, blue Bugattl of the dark haired De Viz-, caya. captain of the Bugatti team, j and was off in pursuit. It was noticed | than France was in the field. De Vizacaya ran two laps, picking up about ten seconds to the lap on the German car, and then j drove slowly off the track, aparently well satisfied. / Howdy Wilcox, who will chaperone ,3-n H. C. S. special the day of the race. couldn’t keep off the track even ™ough his car was in the paint shop, so he took a two-iap joy ride in a touring car. -I- -I- *!- Nig Shank, pit manager de luxe, who has presided over pit fortunes of Wilcox through victory and defeat in years gone by, will be back on the job again. Friday he visited Bugatti headquarters ana gave them a basket full of tips as to the handling of supplies and equipment during the race. Frank Elliott slipped out in his Mil- ' ler for a few laps, but was content with relatively slow, testing laps. | -i- -I- -IThe crowd got its first look at a j Seheel-Frontenae, Louis Chevrolet and ] Peter De Paolo took turns driving the new rotary valve racer Things were not working just right and more time was spent in adjustments than in run ning. T'ne car threw clouds of smoke and apparently carburetion and oil j feeding was not satisfactory Ixmie; kept his car away from the pits and did ail work In the grass alongside the track In the back stretch.

Dario Reeta, winner in 1916. got a hand from the crowd when he drove out in his new Da Palma-built Packard. Sortie of the stop watches caught him at 100 miles an hour for two laps. Rut Rests said he was not making any such speed as that. Harry- Ha.rtz took his usual after•m run in a Durant and turned in ne ninety-seven and ninety-eight-mile laps. INDIC ATIO.VS were that more cars would be out today than at any time this year.

Yank Amateur Golfers Win Walker Cup by Great Rally in Finals

Stars Fall by Wayside, but Lesser Lights Turn De- * feat Into Victory, WILLING CLINCHES CUP Portland Doctor Has Honor of Winning Match That Won for the Yanks, By United Press ST. ANDREWS, Scotland, May 19.—America’s amateur golf team, coming from behind with a great rally in the last round, won the Walker interna tional cup here this afteruooi. from the British team. The Americans went into the second day’s play for the cup with the score 3 to 1 against them and with little hope held out for them to do as well as hold their own In the eight singles matches that made up today's final round. By winning five of today's matches and halving one, the Americans retained the trophy which they won last year at Southampton, N. Y. It was the gallant, last ditch fight of some of the less famous celebrities on the team that turned the tide of victory for the Americans. Jesse Sweetzer and Dave Herron failed to win and Francis Ouimet had to be content with a ’’draw'’ with Roger Wethered. It was Bob Gardner, George Rotan, Max Marsten. Fred Wright and “Doc” Willing who rallied to the cause and turned what the British had regarded as a certain defeat of the Americans Into a glorious victory. A series of twelve matches, four twoball foursomes and eight .singles, played to decide possession of Walker cup. On Friday Britain won three of the four foursomes. Today America won five of the eight singles and halved one. leaving them victors by 6*£ points to 5*4. The honor of winning the match that clinched the victory for America fell to Dr. O. P. Willing of Portland, ! Ore., who was not considered good enough to play in the foursomes yesterday. In the final match of the day Wiling defeated W. A. Murray two and ' one.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

INDIANS WIN TWO STRAIGHT Move Out of Cellar and-Over to St, Paul for ThreeGame Argument, By Times Special ' ST. PAUL, May 19.—Fresh from two straight wins over the Millers and out of the cellar again, the Indians of Jack Hendricks were in St. Paul today to open a three game series with the Champion Saints. The Tribesmen expect, stronger opposition out at Lexington Park compared with the aggregation Pongo Joe, CantiUon has under his wing over in the other Twin city, but the feat of bumping off the Millers twice acted as a reviver of confidence in the Hno sier ranks and they hoped to give the Kelleyites a stiff argument this afternoon. Confidence Restored A coupie of wins make a big difference in the morale of a ball team and that tenth-inning win in Minneapolis Friday boosted the Tribe confidence .to a point where it may serve to put the club in a mood to do some more damage to opponents. Harold Janvrin looked good enough in the short field Friday despite the fact he made an error that put the Indians in a tight hole in the ninth. He covered ground exceptionally well and Manager Hendricks expressed the opinion the Tribe infield would meet with ids approval when Jay Kirke returns to first base. Score Tied In Ninth Tie Indians downed the Millers Friday, 5 to 2. in an exciting skirmish. Petty and Ayers battled it out on the mound and the Tribe was leading 2 to 1 when the last half of the ninth arrived. Fireworks started then and the Millers tied it up and only a fast double play, Campbell to Krueger to Whelan, prevented the ('a ntillonltep from winning.* Burwell relieved Petty with one out and. although he walked a man and forced in a rtin. he tightened on the next batter and the double killing resulted. The Indians hurriedly staged a rally In their half of the tenth and hits by Rhg. Brown. Whelan and Campbell put over three runs. fn the Miller half of the tenth Mu-well extinguished the Millers fn one, two, three order.

Dixon pitched steady ball for Shortridge at Greenoastle. while th<- North side performers had on their hitting togs and smacked out fourteen hits which, combined with many misplays hv their opponents, netted 10 runs. It was a seven Inning contest. Manual and Shelby ville hooked up In a loosely played game Higgs pltehed eight Innings of the game for Manual. Hodges, on the mound for Shelbyville, waa not much of a puzzle and received miserable support. Becker led the Red and White sluggers. Etchman featured with a home run drive over the left field settee. Shelby ville defeated Shortridge earlier In the season at Riverside Park. Manual end Shortdige moot next Friday at Riverside.

KILBANE HAD HARD STRUGGLE Fought Attell’s Brother and Won Easily—Refuses to Fight Murphy, By JOHNNY KILBANE Featherweight Champion of the World Copyright. 1923. by NKA Service, Ine., l the Unit<rt State* anti all foreign countries having copyright law*. Reproduction Is prohibited. IT must not be supposed I decided one night to be champion, and awoke the next morning with the world at my feet. True, I covered the distance in a short time—four years. But I had some thirty fights with boxers like Jeff Gaffney and Happy Davis, now forgotten, before | tackling Attell. But now that I was the champion I things were different. Offers came fast during the first days. One In particular stands out. that with : Monte Attell. a brother of Abe’s. It was in 1912, the same year I won the title. Poor Monte, I am sorry to say had a lot of trouble with one eye a.t that time. It was almost blinded although t knew nothing about It then. We started mixing It up from ths first bell. He came at me with a right. I jabbed with my left and crossed with a right. The glove landed flush on his face, and the force of the blow knocked his sight back in the poor eye! It must have been the excitement of recovering his | sight in the eye that made Monte jubilant, for he grew careless, and , whenever any one grew careless with me in those days it was sure suicide. In the eighth round I knocked I him through the ropes, and he sprawled out In the ringside seats, j Titen the police stepped in. Another “battle’’ that stands out in my memory of the early days was j that scheduled with Young Murphy at Syracuse. N. Y. I had agreed with Dunn, my manager, to meet Murphy and let him weigh 133 pounds ringside. That should have been enough to satisfy. But no. When the night came and we weighed in, we discovered that our customer tipped the scales at 188. I weighed 124. “Will you fight him?” Dunn asked. 1 “I will not.” I answered. * It was announced from the ring I that I had refused to meet Murphy. | The crowd gave me a merry razzing. I I jumped Into my trunks, and ran Into j the ring. “Ladles and gentlemen, ~ I said, “I : have agreed to meet Murphy at 133 | pounds. I weigh 124. Now I learn Murphy weighs 138 and I think j you’ll agree with me that I am jus- ’ tilled in refusing to meet him. But I am here, and am willing to mee r any one they bring on at 133 or less.” I waited to see if they would bring any one on, and nothing happened, j Then I Jumped from the ring and ! left. Well, the house turned Inside out. They wanted to mob the manager, and to this day I don’t know exactly how he. crawled out of it. I was to get SI,OOO, and this they refused me. But I carried the case to court and won a verdict and got the thousand. I soon discovered that there weren't any featherweights left to fight. And I started to tackle bigger boys. Willie Jackson, the lightweight, then in his prime. Ivas one, and I knocked him cold In five rounds. I have never refused to meet A legitimate contender, and that was why I accepted willingly the challenge of George Chaney, who loomed at that j time as a comer. This was In 1916. i We were matched. Kilbane tells of the CL an embattle In his next article. His description illustrates strikingly his ring generalship. LOCAL BOXERS BILLED FOR ANDERSON SHOW A number of local boxers will fight ' in a show to be staged by the Loyal ! Order of Moose at Anderson. Ind.. on May 28.

Dowjtaity l Question* 1 Is it possible for a pitcher to be shifted to some other position and then be | recalled as a pitcher? “ If the umpire calls a balk on the j pitcher, as the pitcher delivers the ball, which the batter hits for a home-run. what happens? 1 If a runner going over from second to third be retired at. that base, because the 1 >-hurts top obstructed him just enough to cause the out. what is the ruling? 4. When a fielder hits a batted ball with ; a thrown glove, what i9 the ruling? Answers 1. A player can be u*<‘d at any position provided he remains in the game. 2 The moment the umpire calls a balk j the ball becomes dead making no play possible and rendering void the home-run that was hit 3.

When a fielder hits a batted ball with his glove the runner or runners shall b* entitled to three bases. TIRES WITH 500 NAIL HOLES LEAK NO AIR Mr. J. N.
