"4ALL players of the most anciont vintage showed the youngsters something about the diamond pastime on Sunday. Walter Johnson and Gt'over Cleveland Alexander pitched their teams to victories. Two veteran shortstops arose In protest of insinuations that they were growing old, and crashed out three hits each, besides playing errorless ball In tlie field. They were Scott of the Chicago Americans and Peckinpaugh of Washington. If one wanted to search a little farther he might pin a medal on Ty Cobb, whose temper is getting worse each day as his Tigers lose, but whose eyesight is not in the least affected. Tyrus slammed out a homer against the Browns Sunday, but It did no good. Then there Is pesft'y little Maranvllle, who is playing a great game at short for Brooklyn these days. Unde Wilbert seems able to handle players whom no one else can manage. Maybe after bumping around 60 long the bad boys Just get enough and reform themselves. Robbie waits until they’re ready to be, good and then picks ’em up, even If they are old men.

OERE is something on which Mr. Mencken should make comment. Evidently Providence discriminated against Indiana U. in the Northwestern football game last fall. Tim Lowry, Northwestern grid star, told a large church audience Sunday that the Purple prayed before the I. U. contest. ‘‘We worried a great deal about the outcome,” said Tim. Then we saw that bunch of big husky Indiana players coming toward us, and we knew something had to be done quick. “Fellows, I said, we better pray. We did, and won a great victory. When the next game came, every fellow prayed again. You don’t need to think that churches have a copyright on prayer.” The Lord helps those who help themselves. And boy, oh boy, how that Tim can help himself. Os course, a rather disturbing question could be brought up. How about the games Northwestern lost?

SWO former Cathedral High School grid stars of this city, Frank McCarthy, center, and Thomas Ruckelshaus, end, received prizes in the first annual special field day events for football men at Notre Dame, Saturday. McCarthy was among the first four in passing the ball from center, while Ruckelshaus placed third in the forward pass receiving contest. He also won second place in the “end boxing tackle” event. The lanky flnnkman has been going good this spring and Rockne has been using him on the first string. He Is likely to land a regular berth next fall on the “Irish.” Riley and Gavin, two other Indianapolis boys, did not participate because of minor injuries received In spring practice. * * • Evansville is going strong in the Three-I League. The southern Indiana club has won four straight. Tqj're Haute, the other Iloosier entry, has won two and lost two. * * • Look at -Joe McCarthy’s Chicago Cubs go. The schedule is the onJ.v thing able to step them. Right at lie time when the team is Vanin’ to go three open dates loom. Joe’s boys are idle today, Tuesday and Wednesday. Then the Giants invade Chicago. Thirty-five thousand rabid fans watched the Bruins claw the St. Louis Cards for the fourth straight Sunday. It was another ninth-inning rally that turned the trick.

SHI OH school and a college ' track athlete from Indianapolis Saturday showed just what can he done with spiked shoes. Captain Phillips of Butler in a meet with Earlham won 'the 100 yard dash, 440-yard dash, halfmile, mile and broad jump. That was all. And it wasn’t enough, at that, as Butler lost. Huntsman of the Quakers matched Phillilps’ performance with firsts in the high hurdles, shot-put, javelin throw, discus and high jump. Rubush of Manual High School was rewarded for his efforts at the Kokomo relays, as the Red and Whit© copped the tourney. The south side youth won the 100-yard dash, broad jump, high jump and polo vault—a remarkable'record.

HOW. some of the race experts are finding fault L- J w ith Ponipey and Bubbling Over. It’s not going to be a two-horse race, this Derby, they say. Mai’s .and Dress Parade, Man-o’-War colts, are getting more consideration, as is, also, Baggenbaggage, Bubbling Over’s stable mate. Rockman lias dropped to 15- to 1 in the future wagers. Biibb’ing Over worked a mile and one-eighth on Sunday Sn 1:54 3-5 and was a tired horse, according to Louisville dispatches. There was some concern over the trial, even among the Bradley connect ions. Wise critics say that Pompey’s victory at Jamaica was not impressive. There may be a. purpose in all this, hut tliat’s the latest talk, anyway, * * The latest thing on the cinders —the I,oc It e-step. And how that Nebraska sprinter goes. Even the weather man can not stay calm and the wind pats him on the back. The 220-yard dash in 20.5 seconds, a world’s record, made Saturday, is to be submitied for recognition, according to officials at the Missouri-Nebraska meet. The\Locke-step is the fastest thing out these days.

TOPSY-TURVY RACES HAVE FANS GUESSING IN MAJOR LEAGUES

BREWERS HERE FOR 4 GAMES Indians Make Sad Showing Over Week-End as Slump Continues. With four straight defeats against them on the home diamond, the Indians W’ere to begin anew series this afternoon with the Milwaukee Brewers as opponents. Just at present both clubs are in the second division and "there was a bare possibility that the Hoosiers would win a game." Having lost the last contest on the road, the loss Sunday made It five consecutive times the Bushmen finished on the short end of the score. • Blues Red Hot The Tribesmen met the Kansas City Blues when they (the Blues) were hot, and the Sunday crowd of 6,839 saw Jimmy Zinn down the home pastimers, 8 to 1. Jimmy had his curve breaking in a deceptive manner and the local right-handed hitters were just about helpless with men on bases. The Blues won Saturday, 8 to 5. They did not make an error in the entire series and took full advantage of nearly all Tribe miscues. Carmen Hill was the probable pitching choice to face the Brewers today. Seek Winning Spark There is no reason to explain the downfall of the Tribesmen. It appears to be a case of an all-round slump. The boys are wild to win, but It seems as though they can not find the spark to <lo It with. The Blues got eleven hits Sunday and the Indians nine. The visitors got eight runs and the Indians one. That how weak the local attack has been. Perhaps one victory will restore confidence, but getting that one over continues to be a mighty task. Today was “ladies’ day” again—free gate for the women. Milwaukee is here for four days.

Tribe Gossip

Loyal Tribe fans are not ready to die yet. Other good ball clubs are having trouble. Giants, Pirates and Athletics and other strong favorites are hitting the bumps. As for the Indians they are just that unfortunate to go poorly in the field while slumping at the bat. Eddie Ainsmitli, veteran catcher who lias been on (he crippled list since the early days of spring training, was to start his first game behind the bat for the Indians today. Manager Bush planned to change the batting order again this afternoon. Matthews was to lead off, then Sicking. Rehg or Russell, Stephenson, Holke, Yoter, Schreiber, Ainsmith and the pitcher. The Kansas City Blues have won eight of their last nine games. They had their slump at the very start of the schedule. They were to battle the Champion Colonels at Louisville today. Niles was knocked out by the Blues in the first stanza Sunday. Morrison, who relieved Ned, was • taken out for a pinch hitter, and Lefty Thompson finished. Lefty pitched good ball. He held the visiting sluggers to four hits in six innings and fanned four. He wavered in the sixtli and two runs were scored off him. Boone opened the inning with a lucky hit, Snyder singled, Zinn was struck by a pitched ball and Murray singled. The run scored by the Blues in the eighth was a gift by the Tribe infield.

Brooklyn and Chicago Setting Pace in National Yankees and White Sox Going Fast in American. The start of the fourth week of the 102 G baseball season finds teams which were flops in spring training proving veritable mastodons in May. Picking up their stride after a momentary stumble, the Brooklyn Robins maintained their lead in the National League Sunday by walloping the cellar-fillers from Boston, 9 to 1.

Joe McCarthy's Cubs, whose per-i formance thus far has been as surprising as any feature of the new season, climbed Into second place, coming from behind to beat the Cardinals, 6 to 5, In a free-hitting game. The Giants lost to the Phillies, 7 to 4, although John McGraw sent six of his pitchers to the tnound. Vic Aldridge weakened In the ninth, and Cincinnati squeezed out a victory over the befuddled Pirates, 4 to 3. Connie Mack's Athletics tumbled Into seventh place In the American League race when they took another beating from their rivals, the Senators, 4 to 3. Sox Win Again Trls Speaker's Indians, who were in a tie for first place last week, kept on sllppmg and fell another whole game behind the Chicago White Sox, who beat them, 8 to 3, in a game in which a total of thirty hits was recorded. The Sox, in second place, gained half a game on the Yankees, who were playing an exhibition game at Newark. The Browns got three in the ninth and beat the Tigers, 9 to 6. Before the 1926 season opened the experts picked Pittsburgh and Philadelphia to win in their respective leagues. The end of three weeks' play finds them In distress and barely able to keep out of their respective cellars. Pennook and Petty After the New York Yankee had spoiled “Dutch” Ruether's perfect record for the season, their own Herb Pennock remained alone at the top of the American League pitching averages, with three games won, none lost. Jess Potty, Brooklyn southpaw, who has allowed but two earned runs all season, is leading the National League twlrlers with four won, none lost. Petty’s pitching and the team hitting of the Yankees have beer} the sensations of the first three weeks of bis league baseball of 1926.

Wank Glaser One of the outstanding pole vaulters in the Middle West this season Is Frank Glaser of Marquette University. Glaser has been clearing “12-6” consistently, and should he able to hit the thirteenfoot mark with a bit more outdoor practice.

STIFF BOUT Romano Worthy Mat Opponent for Wayne Munn. The man who brought out Wayne (Big) Munn and took him far up the wrestling ladder believes Mike Romano has a good chance of defeating the giant Nebraskan in their finish match here Monday night. May 10. He is Gahe Kaufman, Kansas City's prominent wrestling promoter. Kaufman had charge of Munn at the time Wayne met Lewis and tossed him from a Kansas ('ity ring, Jan. 8, 1923. Gabe severed his relations with Munn later when he found he did not have time to devote to his Interests. So It begins to appear Promoter Bob Managoff has brought to Indianapolis one of the wrestling plums of the season. Mike always has contended he would beat Munn If he ever got him Into a ring. Now he has the opportunity. PHILLIES’ BRIGHT SPOT Helnle Sand of the Phillies has been surprising, even himself by the way he’s been tunklng the leather thus far this season. In the first two weeks of play Rand garnered sixteen safeties in forty-one trips, hitting close to .400. Os course, the Phtlly infield,?r won’t be able to keep that pace up, but he does look better at the plate than any lime since joining the Fleteher brigade. H. S.

diana to het, it would be a safe wager to place that a majority of the prelim matches will not go the scheduled limit.

38 CARS ENTERED EN RACE Bugatti Last Under Entry Wire for 500-Mile Event May 31. Total nominations for the fourteenth annual 500-mil© race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 31, reaped thirty-eight as the entry list closed today. The last car under the wire is a Bugatti, a French creation. It was entered by Bud Ward, Philadelphia, a prominent eastern sportsman. The driver has not been named, but it is thought a French pilot will be selected. Jules Goux. who won 1913 race here has been a winning driver for the Bugatti team in France for the past year. In 1923 the Bugatti team which competed at Indianapolis was composed of a list of rtotables Including Prince de Crystla, who finished ninth, the late County Zborowskl, Martin de Alzaga, Raoul Rigantl, and Pierre de Vizcaya. The first car to arrive In Indianapolis to begin preparation for the gruelling five century drive is the Sievers Special. The car came by express from Oakland, Cal., where it was built and will be running within a day or so. A. J. Sievers. the 22-year-old designer and builder of the car, accompanied by T. W. Pickard, the pilot, and Mrs. L. T. Grace. Pickard’s aunt, and financial backer of the trio, making Its first appearance in automobile racing, arrived with the car.

The records at Chick Nelson's course show 375 day tickets and 50 season tickets were used, while at Harry Schopp's course, 389 day tickets and 100 season passes were used. • • • It really was a revelation the way they handled the throngs at Riverside. George Green, the new ranger, is credited with having speeded up play at the two regular tie-up holes, 3 and 8, sufficiently to allow the greatest crowd that has played at that course for three years to move along steadily. Saturday, 217 played; the largest Saturday crowd ever at Riverside. • • From the time the first reserved foursome started at 6:10 a. m Sunday until after 2 p. m., quartets moved along every ten minutes with the fill-ins at five-minute intervals shooting between. • • * Cliff Wagner, at Pleasant Run finished nine holes Sunday and then remarked the course was jammed like South Grove on Its busiest day. Wally Nelson, said more than 300 played Sunday and 125 Saturday. • • • Roy Smith, pro at Avalon, probably will have to ship clubs to Merrill Brown, in Jjhe future. Shortly after he had been outfitted with a new set of sticks, Brown went out Saturday and shot an “Eagle” on hole 7. Par is four and after a nice drive. Brown shot a full spoon that rolled into the cup. Leonard Harrison, Chamber of Commerce finance expert, was a witness to the count. He shot a 62 for nine holes. • • Smith opened up the regular greens Saturday, and Bob Flasher shot a 60, Sam W. Shipp. 62; James Hammer, 69, and M. McDowell, 62. They report the putting carpets like velvet.

The golfers have a spokesman on the park board. John Milnor, a member, is an ardent wielder of the wood and iron clubs. Sunday he was teamed up with A. A. Fendrick, Vic Winterrowd, and Adrian Hammerely, in a fours- me that said the feature of the play was the enjoyment of the weather. • • • Sunday afternoon Wally Nelson and Charles Figg, who were to team In the pro . amateur meet today, played Cliff Wagner, Ike Woods and Tilford Orbtson at the east side course. The pair “took” the trio, two holes on each nine. In a best ball match, and all the eaat siders were backing their entrants on the tourney today. • • • Saturday in the “kicker” tournament held In conjunction with the grand opening of the season at Woodstock. G. Vance Smith and A. C. Moore tied for first prize. with scores of 78, net. Frank M. Reed. B. A. Richardson and Reginald Gars‘ang tied for second with gross s( ores of 79. Fifty played Saturday and the same number Sunday. In the women’s tournament Miss Virginia Reed copped the hoTrvs with a 56, gross, for nine holes. Other scores for the women were: Miss Helen Fleischer, 66: Anna Griffith, 59; Elizabeth Richardson. 68; Elizabeth Fauvre. 76; Mrs. Wood Dean, 85 on one nine and 72 on another.

I’ompey—Canter—Bubbling Over-j speculation tingles through thJ ranks of sportsmen and betttors whq hope to name in advance the 3-yeari! old champion of 1926. The final “tune-up” race whiclj may give horsemen a line upon thk Derby candidates take place a week hence, at Pimlico. Many owners already have started their thorough] breds to Maryland to take part the classic Preakness. W. R. Coe is sending his ,b!g, black colt, Pompey, to carrjj the hopes and cash of New York iis the Pimlico feature. This outstandi ing Derby favorite showed up splendid form in his first public aps pearance Saturday, the Sun Briai colt galloping off with the Woo<f stakes at Jamaica with plenty t<j spare. Navigator Close One race does not make a charriJ uion, however, and turf experts shook their heads when they saw how close the Greentree stable's! Navigator, with an equal pull in the) weights, was at the finish. For) this latter colt is not highly rated,) •having been soundly beaten by Bag 4 genbaggage in the Louisiana Derby) last winter. Colonel Bradley’s Bubbling Over; a home-bred, will carry the hearts o t all Kentucky, for down in the blue* grass State they put'-their hearts on) a horse-race, particularly their very) own Derby. That they put plenty of cash on it, too, is attested by the) standing in the future books, where Pompey, the great, and Bradley’s colt stand equal favorites at 4 to 1.

Maryland’s Choice Maryland’s own will be Canter, J* E. Griffith's magnificent three-year* old, and third choice among the! Kentucky Derby entries. Thus we have the pride of Kentucky; the hope of New Yorlo and the choice of Maryland —then three neatest racing centers of the) United States—pitted against each! other, first choices among a big) field which will parade to the wira when the call to battle sounds. Upon the performances of thesai three colts and some of the other* favorites 1n the Preakness at Pirn-* lico*depend the eventual Derby odds. But the Preakness is a, race for* which there may be excuses. A colt l may be bumped or boxed or bored in upon. There may be said of his per. formance: “Another time it would be differ., t nt.” But after the Derby it Is too latG) to explain.
