FIAT ENTRY BOOSTS RAGE FIELD—INDIANS INVADE CHAMPIONS’ CAMP

Bordino, Italian Pilot, Is ‘Expected to Become Great Favorite With 500-Mile Classic Fans. Pietro Bordino, who will drive an Italian Fiat in the May 130 500-mile auto race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, will not be the only pilot from across the sea entered in the international event, but his reputation as a daring trackster undoubtedly will tend to make him the favorite among the foreign challengers.

Bordino is the star driver of Italy and conqueror of the best European racing pilots. It will be his first ppearance on an fcadianapolis track . s a pilot and he in sure to attract much attention from the railbirds during tuning-up days. First Caine as Mechanic Bordino came to American several X ears ago as mechanic for Ralph De Palma, but returned to his native country shortly afterward and started his climb toward the driver’s seat. Bordino’s is the fifth foreign entry received for the 1825 Hoosier classic. Three Guyot Specials and a Schmidt Special, all flying the tri-color of France, are other European nominations. Bordino has had many hours of driving on the speedway at Milan, Italy, which in many ways is similar to the course here. So it follows that the Italian will be on a more equal footing with the American stars on the Hoosier course than he would be on the board bowls where steeplx' banked turns prove a Waterloo for many of the foreign invaders. To Face Best Yankees It will be a fair test of Bordino’s driving skill here against Tommy Milton, Earl Cooper, Bennett Hill, Harry Hartz and other Yankee pilots against whom he will be pitted in the coming event. Winning the Corsa Bressia race in Italy in 1921, Bordini stamped himself as an outstanding star, and he has been shining ever since. He won the Grand Prix at Milan in 1922 and captured the small car race the same year. In 1923 he led the Italian Grand Prix, which brought together all the notables of the old world, from the star of the event until the waning laps, when he wrecked his car. Last year Bordino established a new speed record for one* lap in the Targo Florio, and he broke records lap after lap in the French Grand Prix race at Leon last year until he snapped a front wheel brake and was forced from the race.

GOSLIN IS NEW HERO OF AMERICAN LEAGUE

‘Come on, Goose!’ Is Becoming Familiar Cry Around Johnson Circuit —Gives Ball Hard Ride. Bu United Pres* NEW YORK, April 29.—“ Come on Goose!’’ is getting to be a cry around the American League circuit almost as familiar as the old roar—“ Hit one, Babe 5 ’’

Leon Goslin, left fielder for the world’s champion Washington Senators, known among his teanfmates and to fans in general as “the Goose,” easily was the sensation of the early season in the American League and he seems on the way to be2ome the biggest star in the game.

Goslin hits the ball harder than any player in baseball with the excepton of the Babe. Give him time and he may be able to get as much distance as the Babe in his drives. Certainly there is no player in the game today who has as many Ruthian resemblances in his game than the Goose. He stands at the plate Just like Ruth. He takes the same toe hold ar.d swings with all his power like the Babe. He has a splendid eye and cordination almost as perfect as the home-run king’s. It may be taken as treason to compare any hitter in the game today to the one and only Babe, but the Goose is catching the eye of critics who know that the Babe Is speeding to the end of his career and that some one will step up to take his place in the public's heart. The Goose Is 26 years of age. He weighs 180 pounds and has a pair of shoulders that would bring joy to the heart of a football coach. Goslin has come out sensationally in less than a year. Up to mid-sea-son last year the Goose was regarded as just a ball player on the Washington Senators. He came In leaps and bounds in the last quarter of the race when the Senators were making a heroic drive for the pennant and he arrived in full glory during the world’s series when he was one of the outstanding stars.

RICKARD HAS OWN REASONS Tex Discusses Wills-Demp-sey Rumor and Explains Troubles of Promoter. By Henry L. Farrell, United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, April 29.—Positive assurance given to Jack Dempsey that tl>re is no color line and that there will be no interference from the New York boxing commission if he wants to fight Harry Wills does not mean the match is anxnearer than it ever was. "I have known all the time the commission would not refuse a permit for a I>empsex’-Wills fight,” Tex Rickard said today. “The consent of the commission is not the only thing necessary to assure the success of a DempseyWills fight. The public does not know how many societies and federations for the prevention of this and the protection of that there are in existence. I never know how many new ones there are until I start to promote a big fight, then 1 get a whole bag full of letters from organizations that I never had heard of before.” Rickard said he had not made Dempsex' an offer to fight Wills and that he was not quite sure that he would. Dempsey may never fight again. It is quite sure if he does defend his title that be will not fight Wills and it will not be for the reason that he fears the negro challenger. The champion told the boxing commissioners Tuesday that it was up to some promoter to offer him a match and that he had received no good offers.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 29, 1925

Rain fell on Tuesday night and a cold breeze swept the city, but April weather is freakish and the local management hoped to get today’s contest In on scheduled time. The Indlan-Salnt struggle was carded to get under way at 3 p. m. and Bill Burwell, veteran right-hander, was slated to take the mound for the Hoosiers. Manager Allen indicated he would start Kolp in the pitching box In the first contest of the 1925 home schedule for the champions. jr-p HE Indians reached St. Paul | at 7:30 this inornipg and plied out of their Pullman and hustled to the Ryan Hotel, where some of the athletes Immediately disrobed and piled into bed for more sleep. Manager Bush said that with the exception of Pitcher Henry, his Indians are in good physical condition. Henry’s salary arm “refuses to feel right.” If the weather clears up local fans expect a red-hot series between the rival clubs. The Saints believe they have emerged from a batting slump and are confident they will trim the Indians. The Saints always have been a winning team on the home lot. Starting today, seven road series face the Indians before they return to Indianapolis, May 29. ANAGER BUSH has a hunch his new outfielder, Sumpter Clarke, will start hittling now that the team is away from critical home fans. Clarke was a failure with the willow in the early games at Indianapolis. Ball players of both teams were discouraged over weather conditions for the local opener. Too much frigid atmosphere! Sunshine was trying to break through at noon. Shortstop Koenig of the Saints, the boy wonder of the locals, Is handicapped by a bad ankle and he was an uncertain starker today.
