TIRRIN’" r . the DOPE By VEDDKR GAKD

FIGURING THE TIME

R~nA.CE fans have marveled heretofore at the rapidity J with which average time for the speeding cars has been computed. This year there will be additional cause for astonishment, because the scorers are keeping right up with the flashing cars in the matter of speed. The cars are so fast and so evenly matched that it is necessary to carry the average miles an hour to thiee decimal places. Chester S. Ricker, director of . timing and scoring, and Odis A. Porter, chief timer, have used the following means of computing speed of airplane races and have introduced it for the first time at the Indianapolis Speedway this s' ,J. Wiliains, local representative of the Monroe Calculating Machine, was checked with a stop watch as lie punched the keys to compute the time and average speed on Lockhart’s record-breaking lap in the elimination trials and the entire operation took only 22 -->> seconds. In the first operation at the qualifying trials the machine subtracts the time at the start of the I lap from the time at the finish of the lap as recorded on the tape of the timing device. This is done as follows by a system devised by Williams. The Lockhart record-breaking lap will be taken as an example. It must he understood that a chronometer is ticking off the seconds, minutes and hours. On the Tape The figures, to the hundieth part of a second, appear on the tape of the electrical apparatus in charge of Porter as the cars jiggle the wire place just below the surface of the bricks in a narrow crack extending across the track. On the day of the race the chronomoter will start ticking off the time from zero as the cars flash over the wire on the first mile of the 500. As it happened, the chronomoter read 1:29:55.25 when Lockhart started his spectacular performance. - That means, of course, 1 hour, 29 minutes, 55.25 seconds. Now, some of the rest of this is rather technical and was explained by Ricker and Williams. If you are mathematically inclined it will be easily understood. If not, you don’t have to puzzle over It. However. it is interesting and good for a little brain exercise, sort of a | cross-figure puzzle. Some Figures The time 1:29:55.25 is subtracted from zero. In the calculating machine this shows as 9098:70:44.75, or the compliment of 1:29:55.25. When the car next passed the time was recorded on the tape at |l:31:13.18. Adding this to the sum in the machine gave the elapsed time as 1:57.93. The machine, however, is in hundred units so that a correction is needed for a sixty-second conversion _and forty must be subtracted from the number of seconds shown. The time therefore reads .1: (57 minus 40).93, or I:l7.93—that is, 1 minute, 17.93 seconds for a 214-mile lap. The next step is figuring the average speed an hour. This is done by dividing a constant for the lap—9,ooo—by the total number of seconds elasped, which in this care was 77.93. When 77.93 is divided into 9,000 the answer is 115.488 miles an hour —the fastest time ever made on the local course. All that in 22 2-5 seconds! Williams’ brain and fingers must work almost as fast as the super-charg-ers on the racing cars. Up In The Booth When the time and averages are flashed to the thousands on Monday there will not be many who give a thought to the men who are keeping the records of the roaring cars. All that Is just taken for granted. But up there in the little booth “ will be human marvels of speed and efficiency not one whit less remarkable than the mechanical creations on the track below. * * TO SUNNY ITALY N '■—"’Negotiations whereby three American race drivers ■—> will participate in an Italian race a,re being made by Alexander Salvi of Milan, Italy, representative of Automobile Club of Italy, here studying the organization of the Indianapolis gasderby. Salvi said six drivers were interested in competing but he could take only three. An agreement is expected to he reached this weekend. following receipt of an answer to a cablegram sent Friday night. American drivers will be under the same rules that govern the Indianapolis classic, except weight of the cars will be cut sixty pounds. Most Italian cars have two seats, but that custom will he abandoned, he said. Salvi believes Herbert Jones, fatally injured in an accident, Thursday might not have died as result of the injuries, had he worn a helmet, an Italian custom. “Our people will follow the Indianapolis event in detail,” he said. Salvi is official correspondent for the Corriere della Sera, with a circulation of 1,200,000. YOUNG WALSH FANS 16 Bu United Press . EVANSTON, 111., May 29—Young Ed Walsh, son of the mighty Ed Walsh of "White Sox fame, struck out sixteen Northwestern University batters and led his Notre Dame baseball, team to a 4 to 0 victory in a non-Confevsnce game on Northwestern field Friday.

BRITISH AMATEUR GOLF TITLE IS CAPTURED BY YANKEE STAR

Jess Sweetser, New York, Wins Decisively, 6 and 5, Over Simpson in Links Tournament Finals. By Henry Farrell*

United Prose Staff Correspondent MUIRFIELD, Scotland; May 29.—Jess Sweetser, stocky young bond broker of New York, today won the British amateur golf championship, shattering defenses which have guarded that cherished title from Americans since Walter Travis won it 22 years ago.

Sweetser beat A. F. Simpson of Edinburgh in the 36-hole finals today by the imposing score of 6 up and 5 to play. Worthy Laurels The young American by his victory • becomes the second of his countrymen ever to have won the British amateur crown. Travis, in 1904, was the only other amateur from across the seas to capture it. Sweetser Is the first native-born American to win the Britisty honors. Travis became an American by adoption. One of Sweetser’s knees troubled him considerably, but his play, while not brilliant during the morning was consistent and strong. Simpson did not show anything that appeared to threaten the American’s chances. By the end of the twenty-first hole the third one played in the afternoon, Jess had increased his margin to five up and was going along smoothly. He was four up at tthe end of the first eighteen. At the twenty-seventh hole the American was five up. Superb Weather The weather was excellent, with a slight breeze coming across the course. Despite the week's play the course was in prime condition. Omnibuses and private cars arrived at the course in a steady stream. It is not quite an English Derby day crush, but the crowds indicated the tremendous interest felt in what the natives termed “the meeting between a bonnie Scot and a young Yank.” RECORDS GO Houser Betters Marks in Two Field Events. Bfl United,Press CAMBRIDGE. Mass., May 29. Superiority in thfe field and over the hurdles today was expected to give the University of Southern California its second I. C. A. A. A. A. championship within two years.

Southern California qualified thirteen men in Friday’s trials and on paper they were assured five first places. A group of the stars of yesteryear who were to be on the field this afternoon charted the probable leaders in the following order: Southern California, Stanford, Harvard, Yale, California. BUTLER DOWNS WABASH Captain Ewing Pitches Victory— Woolgar 1927 Captain. Butler College baseballers closed their season Friday by defeating Wabash, 8 to 3. Captain Ewing, on the local mound, was given good support by his mates, and he did not have much trouble scoring a victory. The Irvington lads knocked Geraldeau out of the box and Robertson finished. The catchers were Queisser for the winners and Gordon for Wabash. Strole walked, Mills tripled and Art Queisser doubled to put Butler on its way in the second, inning and the locals never were headed. Mills and Queisser shared hitting honors with two safeties each. Bob Wcolgar, junior, third baseman, was elected captain of the 1927 team immediately after the Friday victory over the Scarlet. MOLLA MALLORY~VICTOR By United Press CHISWICK, England. May 29.

ORASSIE gIRDIES 1 By DICK MILLER

ATURDAY afternoon and Sunday usually offer the L—. golfer time to get in a round or two of his favorite sport, but with an extra day thrown inst this week-end in the form of a holiday, Monday, Indianapolis golfers are in for a big session. Tournaments are going to be the rage. At Woodstock another bracket of match play will be staged in the spring handicap tournament. Sunday will be an idle day to accommodate those not in the tourney, but Monday will see the resumption of play and the opening round of the president cup will be held. It will be three-quarter handicap rule. * * ♦ Fitting the occasion, flag tournaments will be held at Broadmoor, Meridian Hills and Avalan. Nothing special is on at these clubs Saturday and Sunday, but with a flag match on Monday, excitement will be on. In a flag tourney players add their handicap to par, multiply by two and write it on a flag they are given. When they have exhausted the total strokes thus allowed, they place the flag in the turf. The player who gets his flag nearest the eighteenth hole on the second round (thirty-six holes are played) wins the first prize. • • • Players at the County Club will be allowed to play a round any time for three days in the full handicap tournament for the Charles Mayer cup. The same rule applies to South Grove, where they play thirty-six holes handicap. South Grove is the only municipal course where a tournament will be held during the week-end, Riverside, Coffin and Pleasant Run contenting themselves by taking care of the regular avalanche of golfers. • * * Highland will play the finish matches in the tournament to determine the C. A. Taylor cup winner. The qualifying rounds and several matches have been played. With the three-day playing period on hand, the finish may be broyght about without Inconvenience. * • * Wally Nelsop, pro at rieosant Run, has teen absent from the east side course sii.ee Monday. A check revealed Wally at his home, suffering with a sprained back, received when he did some heavy lifting at the course last Monday. Wally hopes to be on deck this week-end. • * * Last week we heard Jock Collins, pro at Kokomo, and Leslie Sailors, who plays with him, and H. E. Walters, pro at Elwood, and T. C. Houston, amateur, talk very much like a demand that the pro-amateur meet be held at their courses soon. They have been coming here each week. RACE FILMS AT LYRIC Official motion pictures of the 500mile race will be shown at the Lyric Theater all week, starting Monday night. H. H. Coburn, motion picture photographer, will have charge of the camera men this year and expects to deliver the completed film of 600 feet or more to the Lyric Theater by 7 o’clock in ttye evening.

an hour. The car is Miller motored with a special valve. For the most part the drivers did not try for any great speed as the best position they could draw was in the fifth row. Hepburn turned the oval in a Miller Special, one of Tommy Milton’s entries, at an average of 102.517 miles an hour. Woodbury and Hepburn by their performances draw second and third positions in the fifth row. Others to qualify Friday in order of speed were: Ratten (Miller), 101.428 miles an hour: Hawkes (Eldridge Special), 94.976 miles an hour; B, Jones (two-cycle Duesenberg), 92.142 miles an hour; Guyot (Guj-ot Special), 88.580 miles an hour. The first six rows are now complete with Guyot drawing the pole in tlie seventh line of cars. There are three In each row. Not Yet Qualified On the list of cars left to qualify are four Duesenbergs, the three Schmidt Specials, a Miller Special, driven by Lockhart, who already has had two chances; the Elcar, which was damaged in Herbert Jones’ fatal accident and is being worked on in an effort to prepare it for the race; the other Eldridge Special; the Hamlin front drive Ford; Abell Special; Green SuperFord; K. and M. Special, the Sievers Special, and % Miller car entered by Milton. # In this list are 1 sixteen cars. If ail should qualify, thirty-five starters would he in the field, two over the limit of thirty-three. Should such a thing happen, which is extremely unlikely, the car with the lowest average would be dropped. The Abell Special, Green SuperFord and K. and M. Special are at the track, but it is doubtful if they can qualify. The Abell seems to have a better chance than the others. Pete De Paolo was In hopes of having his Duesie at the track this afternoon. All of the Schmidts are about ready and expected to qualify this afternoon with Corum, Nemesh and McKee piloting the French cars. It may be significant that Tommy Milton has been examined at the doctors’ office at the Speedway, where all drivers report. The may see Tommy In a car. The Sievers Special also was e .pected at the track to qualify today. The starting field may be up around the thirty mark if something unforeseen does not happen. Cooper to Step? Dope around the Speedway garages is to the effect. that the time may not be*as fast as last year unless one of the front-drives gets out in front and stays there. It is thought that Earl Cooper, In his front-drive Miller, starting from the pole position, will endeavor to step out into tile lead and set a dizzy pace. Other dope is to the effect that because of the new 91 %-inch motor requirement there Is likely to he a number of cars out of the race before it is over with various ailments. It is usually like that the first year new motors are used.

WISNER DUE ON MOUND IN SECOND OF SERIES

By Eddie Ash Jack Wisner, former New York Giant, was slated for Tribe mound duty here this afternoon in the second fracas of the series with the hustling Colonels. Ainsmith was to he on the receiving end. There will he another Louisville-Indianapolis battle at "Washington Park Sunday, the game to start at 2:30, and on Monday a twin bill will be staged in the afternoon, first struggle at 2 o’clock. The Indians returned to the home*

lot, Friday, and dropped the series opener when Ben Tincup dished up some slants they couldn't solve. The veteran redskin held the Bushmen to four hits and Rill Meyer's Derbytown ' pastimers romped away with the laurels. 9 to 3. Double Plays Hurt The Hoosiers won seven of eight contests on their recent road trip, then at home. They had some bad luck, however, two double plays discouraging their efforts. One sock by Stephenson in the eighth inning had plenty of power, but Cotter made a leaping, barehanded catch and doubled Russell off first. The drive started for a double, but ended in a twin-killing. The Indians were rallying In the third stanza when Schreiber grounded into a double out with the bases filled. Tincup fanned only one man and walked six, but he breezed along and his mates finally encouraged him by getting to Burwell. Old Ben wad tough to shake after the third session. The Colonels got five extra base pokes, two doubles and three triples, and each long smack meant scori.ig damage against the home team. Tribe pitchers issued three walks and two of the free tickets developed into runs. Tincup passed six men, but only one of the half dozen walks terminated into a run for the Tribe. Niles Finishes Klugman batted for Burwell in the seventh and Niles finished in the Tribe hox and was cracked for two singles, a double and a triple, and he wulked one. Eight hits were obtained off Burwell in seven innings and four off Niles in two. The Indians rniscued once in the field and Louisville luck again operated, the single error causing a run. The one error charged against the Colonels failed to aid the Trilte. Louisville and Indianapolis have met five times this season and the champions now hold an edge, three games to two. They are sharing first place with Kansas City. The Indians are third.
