.TIRRIN’"* 1 the DOPE By VEDDER CARD
AT THE SPEEDWAY SHIS Is Albert Guyot's fifth visit to the Speedway as a driver. The car he is scheduled to pilot is the product of his own inventive genius, and it not telling any secrets to say that the Schmidt Specials also bear tho Guyot stamp. Guyot's entry was the last to be recognized by T. E. (Hop) Myers, manager of the Speedway. Tho car was entered just before the time limit expired. The Frenchman has finished well up in every race he has entered. His best was third place in 1914, driving a French Delage. He was fourth in 1913 with an English Sunbeam, and fourth again in 1919 with a French Ballot. His last appearance here was in 1921, when he finished sixth in a Duesenberg. • * • \V. Douglas HawUes, the English driver to arrive here the other day, drove an Englisji Rentley ear in the 1922 race and finished thirteenth. The event was won that year by the late Jimmy Murphy. • * • ——■iAT MORAN, smashed up a P couple of years ago in a * Super-Ford entry before tho big race, was at the Speedway, Friday. He flew over from Bowman Field, Louisville, in a government plane. Moran Is a member of the reserve flying corps. He and Homer Harris came to Schoen Field here on business and had some trouble on tho way back and landed at the race course. Pat insisted that it was not a put-up job to visit the Speedway and talk to some of his old buddies. He plans to leave today. There were three ships In the infield when Lieutenant Peck, reg ular Army officer in charge of Schoen Field, and Lieutenant Winings of the reserve paid a visit via the air route. • • • Harry Miller says that ( ooper’s front-drive, damaged in an accident on the barJi stretch, will be back at the track probably Monday and at the very latest. Tuesday. • * * mULES ELLINGBOE. who started life in Minnesota and now is living in Memphis, Tenn., the gentleman whose idea of a vacation is to drive in the 500-mile race, is keeping pretty well hidden these days. He was out late Thursday evening in his new Miller, after myst everyone had gone home and then again early Friday morning. The same procedure was on schedule this morning. When Jules actually gets out so the railbirds can watch him, they will see a car with a paint job almost like Bennie Hill's, white, with the lower half a wine color. The number is “16.” * * * Chester Ricker, assistant timer, aid to Odis Porter, will be at the track Monday. Porter will not put his apparatus in place until a day before the time trials which start Thursday. • • • “That man Gravelle,” official A. A. A. photographer and long a familiar figure around the local track, was on hand Friday. He drove through from New York. ♦ * * Tony Gulatto, with the madeover Miller that did so well for Harry Hartz, was out on the track morning and afternoon on Friday. The little Italian toiled until 1 o’clock Wednesday and Thursday nights to get the car ready. He has been one of the hardest workers at. the track. • • • BIS PORTER, official timer at the Speedway, says there J will be no more changes in his timing apparatus this year. Why should there be? It is considered the best in the world and Odis is much in demand. Porter states the chronometer he uses, in a recent test, lost second in forty-eight hours. Figure out for yourself how much variation there would be while the 500-mile race is being run. • • • Ralph Hepburn has found baseball as dangerous as the race track. The driver twisted an ankle in tile daily ball game on Thursday and can hardly walk. • • • The radio booths are in place Immediately in front of the Judges' and timer’s stand at the Speedway. The race will be put on the air by the local station, WFBM, and the Chicago station, WGN. I The public is not admitted to the Speedway grounds oil Sunday. No use try ing to get in. * * * [Y/IAL HARESNAPE of Los I Y I Angeles, nationally known l .1 racing expert, has been appointed manager of the contest board of the American Automobile Association, which regulates and supervises all track and speedway sanctioned automobile racing events in the United States, which of course, ncludes the Indianapolis 500-rnile race.

TRIBE CLOSES WITH TOLEDG AND PLAYS IH COLUMBUS SUNDAY
Finale of Hen Series Today Bushmen Make It Two StraightTie for Third Place. 3u Tunis Special TOLEDO, May 22.—Ownie Bush's Indians were to wind up their series with the Hens here this afternoon and tonight the Hoosiers will depart for Columbus to tackle the Senators Sunday in the first st-ruggle of a five game set.
Great is the national pastime for thrills, even if the home club does lose. Ask Toleda fans. Excitement at Swayne Field here since tho Indians came to town has been frantic. Thursday the Indians came front behind to win, 7 to 6, and Friday the Hens came from behind, but not quite strong enough, and the Indians again iron. 8 to 7. Out at the plate Connolly of the Hens was nailed at the plate in the ninth with the tying run and retired for the gameending out. About 3,500 customers were leaping, pulling and shouting In that final stanza. Connolly, on third, and Lebourveau on first, tried a double steal. Catcher Hartley pegged to Sicking, but Connolly hesitated about leaving third. Sicking chased Lebourveau back and threw to Holke. Instantly Conpolly dashed for home, and Holke turned and shot the ball to Hartley, who touched Connolly and the fracas was over. Indianapolis scored two runs in the first and enjoyed a fat inning in the third by scoring five times McNamara, recently obtained from the Giants, was blasted off the rubber and Johnson, who relieved, was greeted with a home run by Voter. Hartley singled, and Johnson retired in favor of Thomas, who pitched good ball until taken out in the seventh for a pinch hitter. Speeee Rescues Hill Hill lasted in the Tribe box unfll the ninth, when he was driven out and Byron Speeee saved the Indians for the second time in two days. Toledo scored one marker in the fourth, two in tho sixth, two ;n the eighth and two in the ninth. Sehliebner opened the Hen half of the final inning by walking. He batted for English. Canavan batted for Pitcher Pfeffer and filed to Stephenson. Groh singled, Sehliebner stopping tit second. Connolly singled, scoring Sehliebner, Groh stopping at second. Speeee rushed to Hill’s aid. Russell dropped Lebourveau's long fly, filling the bases. Veach filed to Russell, Groh scoring after the catch and Connolly going to third. Grimes was at bat when Connolly and Lebourveau attempted the steal that failed. What proved to be the winning run for the Tribe was scored In the ninth after two out. Stephenson walked and Holke tripled Steve over the plate. Holke was left stranded when Sehreiber fanned.

Billy Evans Says —
FRENCH FASTEST Speed is once more becoming a prominent factor in baseball. With the slugging type game that has been popular for some years, speed lost much of its value. Now that the teams are resorting to strategy, bringing back some of the inside stuff that has been stored away for many seasons, speed once more comes to the front. In tills connection I might add that I regard Walter French of the Philadelphia Athletics the fastest man In the American League. There are better base runners because French has yet to master the art of getting a big lead. However, no player In the American, I doubt in the majors, ran step to first or circle tne bases as fast as French. The former ‘West Point star athlete runs rinse to the ground and travels much faster than his style would make you believe. • • • DISPLAY FAILS The failure of Display, winner of the Preakness, to finish better than tenth in the Kentucky Derby was a distinct disappointment to turf followers in the east. The manner in which Display won the historic Preakness made it seem that he had an excellent chance to l>eat such great horses as Bubbling Over. Baggenbaggage. Pompey and tho rest of the classy field. Display, a bad actor at the post, as usual, held up the Derby start, but never was a contender. Only once In turf history has the same horse won both the Derby and Preakness. Back in 1919, Sir Barton turned the trick. It stands as one of the’ greatest achievements in turfdom. When two of Bradley's horses. Bubbling Over and Baggenbaggage finished, one. two, It marked the second time the Bradley thoroughbreds finished that way in the Derby. Back in 1921 Behave Yourself and Black Servant, came under tj win and place. ,
COLLINS REST “Kid” Gleason, who has been identified with the big leagues more than two F.eore years, pronounces Eddie Collins as the greatest second baseman of all time. “Lajole was a marvel," says Gleason, “Horn.-by Is a wonder, but for all-round ability I pick Coilins. “There never was a greeter batsman than Lajole. There Is no telling what he would have hit had he batted against the lively bail. “But while Hornsby and Lajole rnis?ht be regarded as harder hitters than Collins; I don't believe either could be classed as moje valuable batsmen. “Collins, as T see him. hasn’t a weakness In the field, at the bat or on the bases, in addition he has the keenest mind of any ball player I have ever known, past or present. • • DIRECT CONTRAST The two leading southpaws of the American League at the present time, Herb Pennock and Grove, present a direct contrast in style. Gfove has perhaps twice the natural ability of Pennock, curve ball excepted, yet the Yankee southpaw would probably be rated the more effective because of his poise and experience under fire. Grove has blinding speed, literally he throws his fast ball by the hatter. His curve is sharp. He wins because of those two outstanding assets. Pennock. on the other hand, mixes ’em up. He has no blinding speed, but he has a great curve ball and a remarkable change of pace. On .every pitch he tries to cater to the weakness of the# batter. If Grove ever develops a slow ball that he can control and deliver with the motion as his fast ball, he is gbing to be almost unbeatable.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
ORCHID MAN IS FADING
Gorgeous Georges, Pugilistic Flower of France, Only Shade of Former Self. Ry Paul \\. White, I nited Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, May 22.—Georges Carpentler, the orchid man, has bloomed again, but the pugilistic flower of France has lost most of his strength and color. Last night Gorgeous, who once scaled the light heavyweight heights, returned to the ring at Madison Square Garden against Eddie Huffman. the coast boxer, and the decision was a draw. The bout was a draw even though Carpentier’s once famous right was no longer in his repertoire. All the Frenchman has now is ring cunning, courage and a dramatic gesture. It was the gesture which won him almost continuous ovations from the fans. Huffman's youth and strength were such that he might have had a decided edge on Georges. Ilut the veteran out-smarted the California boy and at times made Eddie look positively silly. The orchid kid held his right in reserve as though he were morely waiting for the proper moment to loose its power and end the bout. Asa matter of fact, when Carpentier did swing the right hand that did so much damage five and six years ago. it looked better than It was. Huffman was but slightly jarred and each time it stung Eddie into a better grade of boxing. It was In the last rounds th; t Carpentier showed to a degree. He had tired early, but by the end of the seventh round Huffman had tired too. Then it was that Georges' rirg generalship came to the fore. It was noised about the ringside that Carpentler has been matched against Tommy Loughran in Philadelphia next month. If such a bout has been arranged the customers should have no kick. But the time for a generous supply of “boos" is due If anyone attempts to match him with Berlenbach or Delaney or Stribling. Plainly, the orchid man has slipped back far too hadly to merit such carnage as would inevitably be his portion If he were thrown against first class light heavyweights.
