Speedway Race Entrants Start Qualifying Mounds at Track Today

Great Battle Expected in Trial Laps for Starting Position, The battle of the speed kings for first row positions at the linejup of the 500-mile race May 30 was oh at the Speedway today. Not even the great race itself will he more bitterly fought. As the years have passed the honor of the first row has grown until the amount of interest taken in the speed qualification trials has become secondary only to that in the 500-mile race itself. The car which makes the best time for four laps this afternoon will be given the pole at the start of the race. The next two will line up alongside. The rest of the field will trail out behind, four to a row, taking their positions according to the speed they show today. Great Rattle A great three-cornered battle was In prospect between the De Palma-Boyer-Resta Packard combination, the Miller-motored Durants piloted by Harry Hartz and Jimmy Murphy and the 11. C. S. Miller-motored white flyer of Tommy Milton, new holder of the lap record for 122-inch motors. This does not mean that sundown may not find some otiter driver parked In the king row, for perhaps Earl Cooper, Eddie Hearne, Howdy Wilcox or some oth<*r cagey one has been hiding his speed beneath a closely strapped hood and may step out and fool the pit wall experts. Milton's record drive was the sea ture of Drivers' day. Unfortunately, it came so late in the afternoon that 1 a great part of the crowd had gone j home. Tommy warmed up his H. C. j S. and proceeded to knock off the lap at a speed of slightly under 108 miles an hour, three stop watches catching him at 1.24.8, just an even second better than the time made by Joe Boyer several days ago.

Boyer Jealous The minute Boyer heard the news he scampered off to the Packard and came out with Dario Resta's Packard, as his own was down for measurement by the technical committee. However, the gasoline pressure device was not working properly and Joe had to leave the track without attempting to regain the honor. Chances are that the mark will go by the boards in the time trials this afternoon. Driver's day started off slowly and the big crowd grew restless, but It wound up with dazzling bursts of speed and thrilling brushes. Failure of some of the crack drivers to take the track was the cause of unfavorable comment. It was suggested that next year the lap prize money go only to the drivers who took sufficient interest in Driver’s day to take the track and help earn the prize money. Failure of some American stars to appear accentuated the action of the Mercedes and Bugatti teams in taking the track, although their cars were not yet in the pink of condition. Only two Bugattls were ready, so the drivers took turns in them. Count Zborowski, Prince De Oystria and Pierre De Vizcaya making the running. Mercedes Out For the first time the three German Mercedes were out at one time with Lautepschlaugher, Werner and Sailer at the wheels. One of the cars was not working right but they did the best they could to. give the crown its money’s worth, and then went back to their garages and tore down their motors again. The dope is that the Bugattis and Mercedes have only an outside chance at lap prize money, yet they donated their full share toward boosting the fund. De Palma and Resta worked hard to get their cars ready and although they were not perfect they did a few 100-mlle an hour laps for the crowd, staging some pretty rushes before the grand stand. Jerseyites Busy The busiest outfit at the track was the crew of the F. H. TV., the unknown quantity from Newark. N. J. The .Jerseyites have had tough luck j with little details since arriving at the j track and have not heen able to get j cut for their initial spin. Rut Frank j Wells and his buddies are taking their i troubles with a smile and insist they ! will be ready for the race. They j frankly say they have no idea just ; what their green car will do. “We used tft risk our necks on dirt. ! tracks for prizes of a few hundred j dollars." one of the boys said, ‘and j we decided we might just as well take ! a chance at the big show." r

MANUAL BASEBALLERS LEAD OPPONENTS IN CITY H. S. SERIES

CALIFORNIA AND BULL DOS IN BATTLEFORTITLE Yale, Joke of Years Past on Track, Springs Surprise— Strong Contender, By HENRY L. FARRELL United Press Sports Editor PHILADELPHIA, Pa,. May 26. Those two well known battlers, the bear of California and the bulldog of Yale will tear and drag each other around within the stony walls of the Pennsylvania stadium this afternoon for the inter-collegiate championship on track and field. California, champions of two years running and Yale, the joke of two years straight, each came out of the preliminaries yesterday with almost an entire team qualified to go into the semi-finals and finals. The weather was perfect this morning; the sun popped out of a clear sky and there was hardly enough push in the air to get the flags ; moving on top of City Hail. California is considered almost cer-; tain to win and the experts among the, coaches and former athletes were speculating on the margin by which! the Westerners would become the | champions for the third straight time. While some track records may be made today, it is hardly possible that any new marks will be made In the field events, as two were set up yesterday in the trials and the same marks will hold good for the finals, if not bettered. Stories, the Vale star, made anew record in the javelin throw with a toss of 199 feet 1 inch, and Tootell, the Bowdoin giant, broke all records w r hen he threw the hammer 181 feet 6 inches. Alfred the star, was shooting at the record in the 100 and 220-yard dashes during the trials, and he may set up anew mark If he is pushed today. The games start this afternoon at 2:3a. daylight time.

DERBY WINNERS WE EACH OTHER IN BELMONT EVENT Zev, Martingale, Vigil and Messenger Entered in Withers, 1 „ Zev ruled the favorite in today's Withers, the feature race at Belmont Park. His remarkable comeback in the Kentucky Derby a week ago following his Preakness failure, restored the confidence of eastern racing men in Zev who is today regarded by many as the most promising horse now on the American turf. Zev faced the task of extending him ; self to the limit to win today’s mile long feature. Vigil, winner of the Preakness; Martingale, runner-up In the Derby, and August Belmont s Messenger, a great little horse, were all entered in the Withers. Various ; handlesppers figured Zev to win under , pressure, but each of the other horses 1 are named as a possible winner of | today's Withers. At Churchill Downs the Oaks, today's SIO,OOO added feature at a mile and a furlong, promised a rattling good race. Untidy, entered by the Greentree Stables, and H. P. Whitney's Gadfly were coupled In the betting and were expected to go to the post the favorite bet. Sweetheart, Alice Blue Gown, Anna M. Humphrey and Tip Toe In have run some good races this spring and any one of them had a good chance of emerg ing the successor. Dot. with Mari nelli up. looked like a dangerous contender.

MTJVERN VICTOR IN MAIN BOUT Prest-O-Lite Show Wind-up Proves Interesting Go, In the main gr* of the boxing show staged at. Speedway City Friday night for the benefit of the Prest-O-Llte baseball team, Bobby McGovern proved far too smart for Paul Shuppert and won all the way in ten rounds. Shuppert fought. gamely, however, and made It an interesting mill. Heine MoDuff won a shade over Frankie Nelson in a six-round affair. In the best flight of the car,!. Sammy Vendy all but. had Ducky Becker out in the first three rounds. Becker hung on and In the last three rounds got on an even basis but could not overcome his opponent's lead. Two Prest-O-Lite boys put up a corking good draw in the opener, which went without a decision, the boys being amateurs. The battle royal proved a slow affair, the boys lacking the ambition to hit. CARSON-EPSTEIN SCRAP APPEARS WORTH WHILE Former Newsboys to Clash on Shop-pard-Taylor Card Tuesday. When Matchmaker Farb of the American A. C. matched Don Carson and Maxie Epstein for one of his eight-round prelim bouts for the Johnny Sheppard-Bud Taylor show at Washington Park next Tuesday night he didn’t figure it would attract much attention. But he knows better now. The downtown newsboys are wildly excited over the Carson-Epstein affair, and according to rumors It is going to be a redhot scrap. The little fellows are former local newsboy champions and there is keen rivalry between them. In fact. It is said at one time they were on the point of deciding the issue on a street comer when passersby interfered. Carson and Epstein will meet at 116 pounds and it will be the first bout on the program Tuesday. Sheppard and Taylor put in more hard licks at the Mitchell Club Fri day and today. Both lads were near the weight requirement of 119 pounds today and they will spend the weekend tuning up their punches.

BUNNY RUINED US. Brief Doe* a Merviivell in Ninth and Indians Are Defeated. I By Time* Special KANSAS CITY, Mo.. May 26. | Bunny Brief of the K. C. Blues poled out his twelfth home run of the season Friday. And he ,11d It like Frank Merriwell of old, in the ninth Inning, j two out, two mates on the sacks and | three runs needed to win. Wham: j And the Indians lost, 8 to 7. Carmen Hill got in the game to pitch to one batter, and said batter was Mr. Brief. And Mr. Brief made Hill’s stay on the mound very brief. Over the short right field fence went th, hall game. The defeat was charged to Hill. Indianapolis collected thirteen hits and did not commit an error; Kansas City got only eight hits and mai> four errors. But Kansas City won. That's baseball for you. Bono Stayed Until Ninth Gus Bono, formerly of the Blues, was the Tribe starting pitcher, and he showed well enough considering the fact he has not pitched much this year. He was taken out in the ninth when the Blues started their rally and Pug Cavet was substituted. Then Cavet was withdrawn when Brief appeared and Hill called In to endeavor to get Brief out. As stated previously. Brief put the hall out of the park. Bunny’s fence elout wasn't the only homer of the day. Dudley Branom pinch hit for Pitcher Dawson in the seventh and lifted the ball out of thp lot. Oh, yes, it was a hard defeat for the Indians to take.

WABASH LOSES 10-INNING GAME 10 BUTLERITES Irvington School Has Strong Claim on State Diamond Championship, Not to be out-done by the major | leaguers who are clouting homers : day after day in amazing numbers, the collegians have taken up the ex- ! citing pastime and the result of the Butler Wabash game Friday at Irwin field was Largely decided by four-ply ! swats. The Butler jinx over Wabash j held good and the locals won the second game from the little Giants In ten innings, 7 to 6. Three home runs were made in the contest and I all had important bearing on the result. The victory gives Butler a good claim to the State title. Right at the start Leslie of Butler lifted one over the left field fence with a mate on the paths. It gave Butler the jumptand they were never headed until the seventh inning when J. Wyatt, Wabash's premier slugger, put i one in the same place with the bases loaded. It tied the score as Wabash had counted one in the sixth. Three singles put over another marker and Wabash was in the lead. Butler failed to score in its half of the eighth, but with one run needed to tie, Blessing rapped one over that same left field fence for the tielng , tally. In the tenth, Griggs, who had been in the game up to his eyebrows : all afternoon, crossed the rubber with j the winning run when J. Wyatt, the j hero, dropped Brown's easy fly to center. Staton of Butler who started on the j mound went along line until she big! seventh Slaughter relieved him when the Wabash bats got swinging. Golds i berry also was forced to give way to Ropiquet. Griggs, whose chief delight seems to I lv. in defeating Wabash, and whose! hitting was chiefly responsible for the I other victory at Crawfordsvllle, again swung a wicked willow Mfddlesworth 1 and Leslie also hi* well. .1 Wyatt and Sheppard led the j Little Giant attack.

Friday's Victory Over Shortridge Keeps Record Clean, ManiiaJ .*** M , M .*,. 2 O 1.000 Tethnical ............. 1 1 .500 Shortridge 0 0 .000 i Manual high school is now leading in the city baseball series with two victories after its win Friday over Shortridge, 15 to 4. Technical has won one and lost one, and Shortridge has lost two. The "tnost important game of the season will be played at Technical diamonds next Friday when Manual meets the East Siders in their own back yard. FYom the form shown by the teams it hardly seems likely that Shortridge can defeat either of the other two schools. The Red and White against the Green and White seems to be the deciding struggle. A victory for Tech would tie the two clubs, while a victory for Manual would give them undisputed claim to the city title. On next Tuesday Technical and Shortridge meet In their second game at Riverside Park. The first encounter was an easy win for Tech. The Manual-Shortridge contest Friday was a ragged affair with the southside team having much the better of the argument. They hit hard and Shortridge never had much chance against the high class twirling of Woempner. He showed plenty of stuff and good control. Four hits were made off him and two of them came in the first inning. Dixon would have done better had he received any encouragement from his team mates. Brown who relieved Dixon was bombarded and Dixon, who had gone to left field, came back into the box the last two innings and looked good. Shortridge did not get an earned run. Passed balls accounted for the two runs in the fourth inning. Eichman hit hard for Manual. Abie Thatcher in center for Shortridge covered plenty of territory in snagging I eight chances without an error.

KILBANE RAPS NUMBER OF RING lIILES Warns Against Going Out of Class and Making Weight, By JOHNNY KILBANE. Featherweight Champion of the World. Copyright, 1923, by NEA Service. Inc., in United States and all foreign countries that have copyright laws. Reproduction is prohibited. IN one of the previous chapters I told of making weight for Kid. Williams, then bantam champ, and of giving weight for Benny Leonard, Freddie Welsh and other lightweights. But despite the fact I’ve gone out of my class many times, I firmly believe that, doing so is a bad thing for a fighter. He should stay in his by all means. The chief reason a boxer goes after bigger fe'lows is overconfidence. And overconfidence, as I have often said, Is a bad thing no matter how you look at It. In a small man a few pounds makes a world of difference. When a man’s a heavyweight a few pounds won't matter so much, but to a featherweight they certainly do. If a fellow has risen to the top of his class, he should be satisfied to keep within, its ranks.

New Weights And right here I want to say that I believe there should be a “restatement” of weights for all boxers. I believe the limits that should be established once and for all ought to be 115 pounds for bantams, 125 pounds for featherweights, 135 pounds for lightweights, 145 pounds for for welterweights, 160 pounds for middleweights and all over 160 pounds should be considered heavyweights. Flyweights limits are all right. There should be no such thing as a light heavyweight or junior lightweight. An effort is now being made to create a 140-pound division. This is all wrong. These new weights, in my opinion, are always created to satisfy certain individuals, and if the practice keeps up there will be more champions than ordinary boxers. It was about in 1919 that I began handling my own bouts and matters went along and I took on some fights with Alvie Miller, Artie Root and Freddie Jacks. It was while training for my next championship fight, however, in 1921, with Danny Frush. that a lifelong ambition began to take definite shape. Will Have School I was training for the Frush fight out on the road to Vermillion, Ohio, and decided now was the time to buy a big farm, where eventually I could have a sort of training school for business men, where they could come for about a month in the summer to get real physical training. I found the ideal spot at last, a sixty-flve-acre tract between Lorain and Vermillion. It is right on the edge of Lake Erie, and since buying the place, I have built a temporary house and gym and have cultivated the ground. It is a beautiful place, and we go there in the summer months to get back to nature, as it were. A pair of eagles have built a big nest near by and one of the sights of the place is those two big birds, with four young white-headed eagles, flying about. I have built my own electrical plant, own gas plant, and my own watef system. It is an ideal place, and although I haven’t gotten it quite ready for the training school idea, which will be used as a supplement to a class for business men I plan for Cleve land, it is "coming along nicely." But I am a bit off the subject Danny FYush is the subject, and my battle with him at Cleveland for the championship makes interesting reading. 'Vital happened an hour before the Frush fight, that the public doesn't know to tins day? Champion Kilbane tells of it in Ills next article. College Baseball Butler, 7; Wabash, 6, (10 inningsl.
