§noK^ TIRRIN’I the DOPE By VEDDER GAKD (uuinittiuuiiaiuuiaiiuumiiunuimmmuiiiu'niunumiiiuuuitauimiuiuiiiiUßk AT THE SPEEDWAY SHE other day Cooper was talking about getting a higher seat cushion for his car. “At least an inch and a half higher,’ - said Karl, “and maybe I'll try out springs instead of the regular stuffing.” Maybe the driver had a premonition that he was to play leap-frog with the inner fence. Those bricks are bumpy enough without hopping the lower rail. We arrived on the scene imme- j diately after Cooper's accident | Tuesday and the pilot was as cool j as the proverbial cucumber. Not j all the steel is used in the con- , struction of the cars. The most highly tempered steel will be found In the nerves of the men at the wheel. It was a. wild ride that Cooper look. The arm of the -steering rod came off on the southeast turn> “Blubber” Iloilo, mechanic, found the part on the track at that point. Earl had no control" at all of the auto, which careened crazily at the turn, humping the outer concrete wall, until it stopped far down the back stretch with the left front wheel astraddle the inner rai’.. * * * One would hardly know what nationality to call John Duff, who is to drive the lilcm Special, lie was bom of Canadian parents in China and has lived in Hie Far East, Russia, Canada and Europe. He lias raced in Europe for many years. His present home is England. He admits the superiority of the American cars of today for the speedway type of racing, but says the Yankee cars would not be suitable for the European road events. When asked what he thought of the local track, lie said, in typical British manner: “It shakes you up. It will take a bit of driving.” * * * SITE cars are geared differently for the bricks than for the boards. The gear is approximately 4-'S to I for the local track and 3 6-10 to I for the board speedways. On the saucer ovals the (t.rs can he opened lip as sheer speed is needed.. At the Indianapolis track the drivers must shut off at the turns and they need a quick pick-up on the straightaways. lienee the differ ence in gears. It sounds all tight. That’s the way it was explained to ns, anyway. * * # Humors continue so circulate about Kalpli De Palma. He has turned his two-car entry over to Tommy .Milton. Speedway officials say, however, that the Italian driver will he in the big race. * * * D’rt |0 PAOLO'S Miller seems to bo in the best tufio of any i___J of them at present. All of the Millers leaked a Stream of oil after stopping Tuesday and the drivers feet had an oil bath. The oil tank is carried low in the new 91 >4 inch jobs. Harry Miller after looking at Pete’s car after a spin taken by Red Shaffer said he would have the little difficulty fixed in a jiffy. * * • Tony Gullato is having quite a fine converting Harry Hartz’s old 122-inch Miller into a 91 Yt job. Tony got some new parts * (lie other day and said they were 100 per cent non-fil. * * * . O. W. Van Kanst, who drove a car in the 1921 500-mile race, was a visitor at the Speedway the other day. Van is interested in the manufacture of a, new accessory, manufacturing plans of which nro just being completed, lie said he would be a* spectator, May "I. Some say that Van Uanst. would have been a, top-noteher In the race game is he had stuck to the track. He amazed some of the oldtimers by the way he handled a , car. The divine spark of inspiration seemed to be present—that added something which makes a Ty Cobb or a Babe Ruth in baseball; a Thorpe in football; a Paddock or Locke In track; a Tildcn irt tennis. * * * mULEH EI,I,INOBOE has Ids Miller Special about ready. Jules is from Memphis, Tenm, where he is interested in a couple of automobile sales agencies. The former dirt track star says that whenever anybody sees the Tennessee license on his touring car they ask him if he has any “corn.” We didn't press the matter, but felt like asking the same question.

FRONT-DRIVE CARS LOOM AS STRONG CONTENDERS IN BIG RACE

Dave Lewis Timed in 1:24.1 at Speed-! way Tuesday in First Appearance Cooper’s Accident. Here lie comes! There he goes! A Hash of red hanging low around the turns. Dave Lewis in his front-drive Miller! The front-drive creations held most of the railbirds’ attention at the Speedway Tuesday. They made the fastest laps of the afternoon and one of them furnished the climax of the day when Earl Cooper s mount straddled the inner fence on the back stretch in the first accident of the practice period.

The pilot was nut hurt and it isl thought the car will be ready again within a few days , Those front-drive entries look as though tlie.v are capable of going somewhere in the Aliy 111 race <>f •ourst ilns is early to venture any opinion, blit they do seem just tli" tiling for the local brick course turns. Tin front wheels just cling to I lie bricks a V‘< the rear ones follow mound as nicely as vmi please. Dave l,ewi.N whs smiling after his spin Tuesday. The red "buggy" had a iman anti stubhorn appearance as it swept down the straightaway and the way it look the turns was enough to make the pilot of (lie other ears look again. Most of them can rememl*er ve*> well how a frontdrive last year surprised everyone and finished second after Dave had worked day and night to gel it ready for the <|iialifleatinn trials. This year Lewis appears to he sitting pretty, that Is. as pretty a.* anyone can sit in such an uncertain game. Dave was limed in 1:24.1 Tuesday on his fastest lap which is i ighl on tin- h els- of llirrv llart/ s 1:21. the best time up to dale. That t icarts between to? and ins miles an hour. And. think of it, the first time out: Cooper’s Tough I tick Cooper, in the other front-drive, was timed in 1:23.2 just before his accident. Earl seems to be having the early tough luck—getting it out of his system. Cm two .attempts his car had to he towed back to the garage and It was the third time on I the track that the min of the steer- [ iiijsr n cl worked loose and fell off, leavimgri’ooper without means of guiding tli • car. The ear humped along against .the outer trtaining wall on the southeast turn and then swd down the track to the inner side, where it swerved along the wooden rail on the back stretch until it hit an open space, where the timber had been removed to allow autos to cross (bo track. At this point the ear played bap-frog with the fence, but failed to leap off again. More Activity There was much more activity on tile track Tuesday and I’ete De I’acdo and Dave Lewis put on a little hiush in mid afternoon that made the spectators sit up and take .notht'J’ I’ete was timed in 1:27. Red | Shaffer later took the car his fastest lan around the I:26'mark. : Pete is driving a Miller now, bill will have one of the new Diiesenberg cars in the big race. He said as much Tuesday afternoon. Os course, Pete has a right j to change his mind, and lie may do that very thing. , The latest dope around the (speedway is that the brand-new two-cycle j Duesenlierg job will not be ra'ly. The 01D “Duesies" will be out shortly and De Paolo is anxiously awaiting their arrival. I-lartz and Comer were out in Millers, but neither did anything startling in the way of speed. They were busy adjusting the shock and “tuning up.” Comer's car bounced Fred around considerably and did not “sound” just right. Ilartz took it for a spin, and then back it went to the garage. For the benefit of the railbirds. llartz's car Is No. 3 and Comer's No. 8. Harlan Fengler was out for a little airing in fine of Durant’s cars —just a touring trip. Frank Elliott breezed around in a made-over Miller. Bennie Hill hiD cruised without attempting any >peed. Couldn't Hit Tincup LOUISVILLE.

Among veteran pilots practicing at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Tuesday was Dave Lewis, who finished second in the 500-mile race last year in a from drix % Miller special. He was out for the first time this year in a frontdrive Tuesday and turned the course for one lap at an average speed of 107 miles an hour. Dave caused mafiy of his rival drivers to gasp, and already he has lipen included in the field of early favorites to be in the big money of the 500-inile “spin” Monday, May 31.

THE TNHiAA APOLUS TIMES

BUSHMEN AT PARK OF HENS 4-Game Series in Toledo — Wisner Reports—Two Pitchers Released. * * By Eddie Ash Ownie Bush had his Indians in Toledo today to open a four-game series with Casey Stengel's liens, and by the way Toledo has been hammering tlie ball it is evident the Tribesmen ate going to get plenty of opposition. The Hens are tied with the Saints for second place, while the Ilooslei's are in sixth tionToleda fans are wild over their team and the Tribe-Hen series is expected to draw big attendance if good weather prevails. Pitcher Jack Wisner, obtained from the (Hants in the Florence deal, joined the Tribesmen before they left Indianapolis, late Tuesday night. Catcher Hartley, also included in the player exchange. did not appear before the Irldlans departed and Florence was taken along bv Manager Bush. Two Indians Whipped Pitchers Mot;-:..an and Reynolds, righthanders, were released by the Indians, Tuesday. Morrison was sent to the Little Rock team of the Southern Association and Reynolds to Decatur of the Three 1 League. Manager Bush plans more changes in tile Tribe roster, it is said, if lie is able to locate new talent. Ben Tincup, real redskin, showed ihe Indians a thing or two in tlie series wind-up at Wash ington Park Tuesday and Louisville romped away with the honors, 5 to 1. Pitcher Tincup used resin before it gained legal status in baseball, but Tuesday, with tiie resin bag at liis feet, the Boosters were helpless more or less a'l the way. Tincup ‘‘sat 'em down" without a whole lot of effort and was not scored against until the ninth, when Henry hatted for Schreiher and sin pled llolke home. Five hits represented (lie Tribe hit total off Ben He was redhot and the home pas timers failed ( get look at third until the dying inning. Colonels Persistent The Colonels pecked away at Burwell's offerings ind collected ten hits, but tlie.v found mins hard to get. Bill fanned live. t>ut walked four. A bad throw by Florence on a stolen base got Burwell in had in the second stanza and a fumble by Sicking developed into a marker in the sixth. Niles pitched the ninth for the Indians and the Colonels registered one marker off him. on a walk, sacrifice, wild pitch and single. Tlie runs scored off Bir well In the fifth and eighth carr without the aid of erratic Tribe defensive work. Bel> Rus-sell was tlie hard luck hitter of the day. He drove a liner through the box in Hie first period that Tincup could not avoid. The sphere struck Ben on a shin and : hounded all tlie way to Cotter at first, and Bussell was retired. Bell j doubled in tlie fourth far down the right field line. In the sixth he crashed one back of first that Lot ter knocked down and threw to Tincup for an out on a very close play. In the ninth Russell caught the ball on the nose and drove it to deep left center. Webb sprinted, leaped and snared the df'ive with one hayd. Dervormer was best at bat for the Colonels with three hits in four efforts. Webb was cheated out of a i hit in the seventh when Guyon, who j was on first, failed to touch second on Webb's clean safety to center, and Guyon was forced, Matthews to Sehrelber. TECHNICAL H. S.

RYAN SHINES Alte's Opponent Here Strong With Ring Fans. Tommy Ryan, McKeesport, Pa., who meets Merle Alte, local featherw'eight, in a ten-round match at Tomlinson Hall May 31, the night of the r>o o-mile race, is proving a strong box office attraction. On the eve of Derby day recently at Louisville, when Ryan and Bud Taylor engaged in a gruelling scrap, 10.900 fans passed through the turnstiles. Ringside seats cost $7.70. Os course, Taylor's appearance in the Colonel city was a great drawing card, but the Kentucky promoters threw a “natural" when they matched the two great little rivals. The. appearance of Ryan here against Merle Alte should prove a fine attraction and. coupled with the midget Mike O'Dovvd-Happy Atherton ten-rounder, will give local fans a touch of “big league" sport. Another teffi-round number is being arranged by the Arcade matchmaker, and a six-round match and I one of four rounds will complete the I forty rounds comprising the card.
