TRIBESMEN INVADE KANSAS CITY AFTER LOSING LEAD TO MILLERS

INDIANA SPEEDER HOPEFUL Shambaugh Confident Hoosier Special Will Start 500-Mile Race. Charles Khaimbaugh, Laayette (lnd.) garage owner, who has been building racing cars for the 500-mile race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway since 1912, but never has seen one of his creations go to the starting tape, is likely to have his ambition gratified in the thirteenth International long distance race, which will be held here Saturday, May 80. Early In May Shambaugh made an nppeararce at the track with his Kcosier Special and made several practice tours of the two-and-one-hu'.f-mlle brick oval. It was the earliest he ever has had one of his mounts at the track. Tries Every Year Year after year he had paid his entrance fee and never even put in ar. appearance at the track. Shambaugh would not bring a car to the track until he was sure he was ready. This year, however, Shambaugh lias a firm determination ,to see his car at the starting tape. Living 68 miles from the track, Shambaugh loads his car on a truck, brings it to the track, tests it, and after making a few adjustments at the trackside, reloads the car on the truck and returns it to Lafayette. Lafayette sent one young chap into the racing world who became one of the most spectacular racing drivers of his time and Shambaugh played an important role in the (iffair. He was Roscoe Sarles, who finished second in the Indianapolis race in 1921. Sarles Brave Unit I lost Sarles wap killed at Kansas City in a race two years ago, after one of the greatest displays of nerve ever <seen on a track. He swerved his car to avoid hitting another machine. which was skidding, snapped something on his own car and sailed over the top of the track out Into space. His mechanic recalls how Sarles, with the car turning over In midair, turned off the motor. The mechanic was thrown free and was unhurt. Sarles previously worked with Shambaugh and as a youngster came to the Indianapolis track with Shambaugh Vs car. H. S. AQUATIC TOURNEY Second Annual Invitational Meet at Columbus Friday.

Do You Know?

When does the infield rule, which automatically retires the batsman whether the ball is caught or not, apply? For the Infield fly rule to be operative there must be runners on first and second or first, second and third and none or one out at the time. If only first base Is occupied the Infield fly rule Is not effective. Neither can It be effective in any situation where there are two out. The infield fly rule was made to protect the baseruuner. Prior to Incorporating it Into the playing code much trickery waa Indulged in by smart lnflelders. By dropping the ball purposely a double or triple play sometimes roeultea, since the runner or runner*, for fear of belnr retired, had to stick close to their base and when the ball was dropped were forged to advauce. With the Infield fly rule In vogue the runner, or runners, under certain conditions stated above realises the batsman Is au'omatically out and they can retain their base in safety.

Four Games to Be Played With Blues —Kelleyites Again Show Superior Bat Power. Ownie Bush piloted his Indians to Kansas City today and invaded the camp of Dr. Lavan’s Blues. Including the contest this afternoon, four contests will be staged in Kawtown, and the Hoosiers may take enough fftlls out of the tailendeis to regain some of the ground lost while in Minneapolis.

At any rate, the Bushmery are glnd to escape from Mlllertown, where they lost three out of four games to the Kelleyites and also got knocked loose again from the American Association lead. The Millers won the series finale Wednesday, 7 to 3, and the victory sent the Flower City team to the top perch In the league standing. The Kelley swatters bombarded Hill In enough spots to assure victory, while the Indians failed to do much damage with the mace when men were on bases. Millers “Have It on Us” Indians and Millers have met in two series this spring and in seven battles the Minneapolis crew grabbed five games. That record is discouraging to Tribe pennant hopes, but tune may bring about a change and perhaps later In the season the Hoosiers will learn to score more runs. The Tribe obtained ten hits to eight for the Millers Wednesday, but the Hoosiers got only three runs while the Kelleyites were making seven. Indianapolis had eight men lbft on bases and Minneapolis only three. Carmen Hill pitched for the Tribe for seven and one-third innings, after which he retired and Thompson finished. A drive from 'Hail Smith’s hat bruised Hill’s throwing arm. It was this man Smith who proved Hill’s undoing. Earl got two home runs, one coming with a mate aboard. Four Runs In Seventh The Millers put the game In the cooler in the seventh by clustering several safeties for four ru/is. Harris hurled for the Minneapolis gang and his ability to retire Schrelber and Schmandt carried him safely through the danger spots. He struck out Schreiber three times and on each occasion Indians were on base. Pug Allen swatted a home run and Clarke got two singles and a double for the Tribe’s batting featuer sos the day. The Indians left Minneapolis Immediately after the game Wednesday and It was a long, tiresome ride to K. C. to open a series this afternoon. After four struggles in Kansas City, the Tribesmen will go to MJlwaukee.

Tribe Notes

IPPO THOMPSON got a chance to parade his huge t___J frame before Miller fans when he relieved Hill in the eighth inning at Minneapolis Wednesday. George Fisher was the first batter to face Hippo and the huge Hoosler promptly struck out Mr. Fisher. Mike Kelley has bolstered since the season opened, and later, when Eddie Ainsmlth, veteran catcher, gets in shape, the Millers will be stronger. Sumpter Clarke is galloping to boost his batting average. He got away to a terrible start this year, but the Alabama boy is coming fast now. Outfielder Eichrodt, Indianapolis hoy who worked out with the Indians for one week at the Plant City training camp, is now a member' of the Nashville team of the Southern Association. Eichrodt is the property of the Cleveland Americans, who drafted him from Spartanburg last fall. Cleveland at first planned to send Eichrodt to Terre Haute, but later changed arrangements and farmed him to Nashville. HARD LUCK AT MANUAL Three Track Star* Out—l tail Team In Two State Games.

SCOTT, DUNDEE, IRONMEN, NEAR CLOSE OF CAREERS Veterans of Diamond and Ring See Youth Step InYankee Shortstop on Bench After 1,307 Games. By Heniy L. Farrell United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, May 7.—Ain ost at the same time the ironman of the ring and the ironman o’ baseball pulled up at the end of their careers, giving proof to the old yarn that “an athlete lasts only as long as his legs.’'

Johnny Dundee had so much dis Acuity in keeping his legs against Sid Terris Tuesday night that he must retire from the ring or become a sad second-rater. Old Deacon Scott, the Dundee of baseball, who had not missed a ball game since June 20. 1916, had his record of 1.307 consecutive games broken Wednesday. He will have to retire from baseball or be content with a substitute seat on the bench of the New York Yankees. Neither Dundee nor Scott were hitters. They depended upon the skill of their hands and the s|ieed of their legs. With their legs gone, they are no longer first-raters Scott, who takes pride in a record that he had never missed a day in school, was broken hearted when Miller Huggins, manager of the Yankees, said: "Scotty, guess you’d

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

EAST AND WEST IN BATT LE First Migration of Major League Teams —Yankees Tied for Cellar. Bu Times Special NEW YORK. May 7.—The first general migration of the baseball season began Wednesday right, when the Eastern Clubs of the American League entrained for the west and the Western teams of the National started east for a stand of about twenty days. The east-west sedea start on Friday. The glum and dismal Yankees are bound for St. Louis, where the clouds have been known to rain soda bottles on them, the Senators are routed for Chicago, the Athletics for Cleveland and the Boston Red Sox for Detroit. Giants vs. Cards In the National League the Giants will try to make matters entertaining for the Cardinals, the Dodgers will rush out with bats flying to greet the Reds, the Pirates will meet the Phillies and the Cubs, by a stroke of luck, drew the assignment to whale the Boston Braves in Boston. The Yankees and Tigers on one hand and the Athletics on the other, have been guilty of the most shocking behavior observed in the major leaguea as far as this season has gone. Down In Depths When the Athletics scored four runs in the tenth Inning at the Stadium In the Bropx Wednesday, they shoved Babe Ruth’s team into eighth and last place, in a tie with the Boston Red Sox. who are regarded as the weakest team In either of the major leagues. The Tigers had promised to fight for the pennant this year, but the first excursion party from the east finds them in seventh place. The Athletics go West to defend first place against the Cleveland Indians. It has been more than ten years since Connie Mack's team saw first place after the first week of the season, but at nightfall Wednes day, with seventeen games behind them, they were sharing that spot with the Senators. SERIES ENDS A. B. C.s Down Cubans— Birmingham Next on Card. * The series finale between A. B. C.s and Cuban Stars was held at Washington Park Wednesday afternoon and the local colored nine annexed the laurels, 9 to 8, by rallying In the last two Innings. The A. B. C.s scored three markers In the elghtn and one in the ninth to overcome the lead the islanders had obtained. The locals collected thirteen hits and the visitors eleven. Dixon's single ir the ninth drove Anderson home with the winning tally In the ninth. The Birmingham colored league team will be the opponents of the A. B. C.s at Washington Park Sunday. East Side Shoot Mclntire won the singles event in the East Side Gun Club shoot Wednesday with 48 "birds’’ out of 50. Mclntire also won the handicap event with 22 out of 26 at nineteen yards.

better let Wannlnger go In there today.” Wenninger Is a 20-year-old shortstop Just up from the Augusta club of the South Atlantic League. Youth Gets Call Like Dundee, w’ho was beaten by the 21-year-old Terris, just a short time out of the amateur class, Scotty saw youth step In and convince him that he is too old. Dundee Is only 31 and Scotty in 32 but the wear and tear of years in a hard racket had aged them far beyond their years. Huggins told reporters that Scotty laid been benched because he was not feeling well and that he was going home for a rest Instead of making the trip to St. Ix>uis with the Hub. "I'm as well as I ever was." Scotty said. “I don't see why I waa benched. I got two hits the day before and I was Just beginning to get going. I won’t be a substitute on any club. I'll quit baseball if I'm no longer any good.” Scotty Out It Is quite certain that Scotty has lost his job as a regular with the Yankees, and there is no other club In the major league who wants Ht i old man at shortstop. Yankee pitchers have been complaining that hits were going past Scott that a more active shortstop would have turned Into easy outs. , It was also apparent that the old legs were not getting him down to first base fast enough, and that he wag hitting into more double plays that. a more active runner. Scott’s record of 1,307 con-. secutive games, exclusive of the games played in four world’s scries with the Boston Red Sox and the Yankees, is one that may never be equaled or even approached.
