SPEEDWAY CARS HUM AS TIME FOR TRIALS NEAR Bugattis Get Accustomed to Track —Barber-War-nock Special Out. By BLITHE HENDRICKS
WISE Biblical maids with the trimmed lamps who were all set tor the party when the time came had nothing on Speedway drivers who got their cars to the track early and avoided the rush and stampede of the final hours when wild-eyed mechanics and frenzied drivers go batty in game efforts to do the work of weeks in the last few hours before the start of the great 500-mile race, May 30. This has become apparent this year, just as in yea is gone by. Cars which were at the track early are humming evenly and about their garages is peace and quiet. \mong the late comers there are already symptoms of hurry and scurry and it is easy to see what Is going to happen to those cars which have not as yet put in appearance with elimination day only four days off. Gradually the Bugatti hoys have accustomed themselves to the turns Zborowski was out Monday for sev era! laps and showed considerable i%ess hesitancy In approaching the lng •••or to th* board a second longer each successive round. His motor was functioning beautifully an 1 resembled the lazy bum of a swarm of bees as he walked into the stretches. Some of the Bugatti crew are a bit disconsolate over delays In getting their cars ready. Appearance cf the Barber-Warnock Special late Monday precipitated an Impromptu “color memory" contest, j No one knew exactly, they couldn’t I spell cerise, so the conclusion was it resembled an crang dipped in red paint. The veteran Art Chevrolet , groomed the hybrid Ford, L. L. Co~ ; rum piloted It, and Chevrolet took the I kidding of a group of pit-side habi tues. The car was minus service j brakes and someone suggested Art equip it with an anchor. As the big day nears, speed fever j grows. De Palma in his last year 18.1-! Inch Duesie and Boyer in a Packard Special drew abreast and decided to; cut loose a bit. First Ralph led and then Joe. The tiny Packard frequent-j ly showed Ralph its rear treads. At the southwest turn hub caps grew ur. comfortably close. Boyer drew to the pits with the second soft tire during the day. Just before sundown he turned in a lap at a 104-iniles-an-hour clip. Harry Fengler continued his policy of breaking in his Durant slowly. For several days he has driven lap after lap.at a touring gait, a stunt which wtakes a world of patience. Monday opened up a little, hut never passed the seventy-five mile an hour mark. THE F. H. W., a newcomer to the Speedway, rolled in. The car was designed and built by Frank H. Wells, of Newark, X. .T., and the whole outfit is composed of Newark boys. They frankly say they don’t expect to win, but they hope to o.ualify and finish. “We have been racing around on dirt tracks risking our necks for littie prizes and thought we might as well try our luck In the big ring,” one of the crew said. Fast company has no terrors for them and they are perfectly willing it with any one. Prince De Cystria of the Bugatti bunch and Benny Hill were discovered in conference at the lunch stand. Their seriousness of mien made it a certainty they were discussing some question of international import. Investigation brought to light that they were trying to decide just what it was that made a hot dog so good. After consuming three apiece they adjourned further consideration of the important matter until today. All Mercedes cars now are on hand. The last two got In yesterday after a seeing-Indianapolis trip through freight yards and around side tracks skillfully dodging detection. Os the four race cars the three that prove the fastest will be used for the race. Just what Mercedes will go In no one knows, although Phere is a lot of predicting of widely different kinds. Some think they will have the speed, endurance and ability to hold the track. Others insist their super-charging device to force gasoline into the cylinders at high speed is not adapted to use on the Indianapolis track and will result in fouled plugs. These same predicters also i dope it out that the heavy cars will 1 eat up tires. They were not out Mon- j day, but were scheduled to work out j today.

Wills Demands Show-Down From Commission On Dempsey Go
Colored Boxer Either Wants Fight or to Be Declared Ineligible. By HENRY L. FARRELL United Press Sports Editor. NEW YORK, May 22.—Before uight Harry Wills, the big colored heavyweight, will know whether his future is in the ring or around the freight piles on the Ohelsea docks. Wills, through his manager. Paddy Mullins, has put il up to the State boxing commission to recognize him as a challenger for the heavyweight championship or rule him out of the game. Almost a year ago. Wills went through the formality of filing an official challenge for a championship bout and posting a certified check for $2,500 as a guarantee. Mullins has now called upon the commission to announce what is to be done about it, and the commission is up against the necessity of declaring Itself. The commission meets today, and while the Mullins letter may be tabled temporarily, the problem cannot be solved that way. Law sharks are of the opinion that Wills must be given his chance if boxing is to remain as a legal pastime in New York. Contemplating favorable action on the appeal, movements are under way to match Dempsey and Wills for a heavy-weight championship fight some place around New York in early’ September.

GEORGE CHANEY TOO CONFIDENT IN KILBANE GO Rushed Out of Corner and Into Three Pokes on the Jaw. By JOHNNY KILBANE Featherweight Champion of the World Copyright, 1023, by NKA Service, Inc., In the United States and all foreign countries having copy right laws. Reproduction is prohibited. FIGHTERS ge; knocked out from many causes. Sometimes it is overtraining th.it does it. but it is safe to say most of the better fight ers go down because of overconfidence. I shall speak of this overconfidence more fully in a later article, but I must mention it here because it un doubtedlv caused the downfall of George Chaney, a game little fighter, and one who looked promising before he met, me. We were signed to meet at Cedar Point, Ohio, for the .hampionshlp. Those close to Chaney had filled him with tales that I was growing old, and that all he would have to do would be push me over, and the title would be his. The fight tasted three rounds, and ended in a knockout, just as Chaney’s friends predicted, but they made a ! slight mistake as to the Identity of | the one who would l.e knocked out. Chancy Overconfident George looked almost sorry for me : as he entered the ring. Poor Kilbane! And such a nice fellow! It is a shame to muss his hair! But he saw visions of fame, and apparently forgot his pity for old man Kllbane. When the bell sounded he rushed out to meet me with all the fury of a thunderstorm. The storm : broke all right—but for him, I shot | over a left jab. a left hook, and a right | cross to the jaw that shook him vio- ! lently. I had all the force of my body be hind those blows, and the end was only a matter of minutes. He managed to hang on for two rounds, but in the third he sank to the can vas, and before he got up, all championship ambitions had fled from his mind, and have been A. W. O. L. ever since. Might Have Stayed Overconfidence was all that did it. Had he waited me out, it might have been a different story, not as to the eventual outcome but as to the length of time required for a knockout. Or he even might have stayed the distance. Those three punches have won most of my battles for me. A left jab. a loft hook, and a right cross. You can not withstand them if delivered by one who knows his business. Then came another period when no featherweights appeared as contenders. and 1 took on men above my class. That was how I came to meet Rocky Kansas, Freddie Welsh and Benny Leonard. A short time before, I had met Kid Williams, bantam champion. The Williams and Welsh matches were no-decisions affairs. but newspaper accounts gave both of them to me, and I may say in all confidence that 1 gave both of them good trimmings, and that only the fact that they were no-dedsion bouts prevented me from copping three titles. T shall tell about the Williams. Welsh and Leonard fights—l did not have, so much success yvith the latter—in my next article. Kilhane describes the bouts with Kid Williams, bantam champ; ?*Yeddie j Welsh, former lightweight champ, and i Benny 1 .eonard, lightweight tltleholdpr, in his next article.

TRAILING TRIBE HOOKS UP WITH SLUGGING LEADERS More Tough Sledding Probable in Land of the Clouting Blues—Final Saint Game Is a Defeat.
By Times Special , KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 22. j Fans of Kawtown were to see the : battle of the extremes started here this afternoon —league leaders vs. * cellar dwellers, known officially as Blues and Indians. The K. C. rooting brigade is not anticipating much opposition in the four-game affair unless the Ilendricksmen show an unexpected spurt. It. is not thought any crowd records will be threatened during the series. Fact of the matter the K. C. .Blues have been winning with such legularity that fans here merely lift their eye brows when the home team loses a game and if something doesn’t ccour to bolster some of the other clubs in the league all the fun will be capped out of the pennant race. Manager Wilbur Good has a club fitted perfectly for these days of the lively ball. In other words he has a full strength pitching staff and a gang of fence busters. For proof of that assertion a glance at the A. A. standing is sufficient. The Blues have lost only five games. FINAL IN ST. PAUL Baffest Mon by Kelleyltes—Hendricks Has Run-in With Daly. By Tints Special ST. PAUL, May 22. —The Indians took an 8-to-6 defeat here in the series wind-up fray with the Saints Monday. It was a seesaw struggle with the Kelleyltes executing the saws to better advantage. Both teams used two pitchers. Hill and Crum for the Tribe and Merritt and Sheehan for the Saints. Hitting stars were Rehg with three singles and a double. Brown with a double and two singles. Hawks with two triples and a single and Krueger with a home run and single Consistent basestealing aided the locals, their theft total being five. The Tribe committed three misplays and each error worked to the advantage of the Saints. Manager Hendricks was banished by Umpire Daly and Cavet and Crum were likewise sent out of the lot, but permitted to return later. The Indians objected to a called strike on Sicking when he wasn’t In the batter's box and they appeared to have good reason for kicking.
