SIMMIIIIIIUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIUW tirrin: the DOPE By VEDDER GARD

A NEW SPEEDER SBOUT two weeks ago a young fellow by the name of Lockhart made his Appearance at the Speedway for the first time. Just to get used to the track he brought out a big 183inch job that he had been using in dirt track races. * “Who’s that?” every one said as the car whizzed by. Nobody seemed much impressed by the youth, unknown in these parts, who seemed to like to travel fast. “Why shouldn't he go fast in that big car?” the railbirds said. But this Lockhart was a likable sort of a young fellow —a quiet chap who never said much and was always anxious for the opinion of veteran drivers, and he made many friends by his attitude. Finally lie was selected as a relief driver for Bennie Hill and Bennie let him take liis car out for several spins, but Hill was rather nervous on several occakions when Frank failed to observe suitable decorum in somebody else's car and hit the turns with seeming recklessness. Then came a turn in the tide of Lockhart's fortune. Seeing such a intrepid young gentleman with such a heavy foot and such a beautiful touch on the steering wheel, Dame Fortune smiled and Lockhart obtained a mount of his own, when Pete Kreis was taken ill with the flu and could not drive his car. Then Lockhart, just in time, learned some lessons that he did not forget on the day of the big race. In the time trials the Coast speeder amazed the large crowd which came out to witness the eliminations on last Thursday by setting anew trark^ record for. the Speedway of 115.488 miles an hour. He hit the turns with such. fervor that the tires could not stand the strain and he was forced to come in with one back tire cut to ribbons. One of his three chances to qualify was gone. On his second attempt the same day, engine trouble developed and he only had one opportunity left. On his third trial, late Saturday, he was content with a 95.78 average and qualified. He had learned more about the Indianapolis bricks and their effects on tires and he had learned more about the new motor and Just what it could stand. Monday he did not forget those lessons. As far as handling a car is concerned, it Is unlikely that anyone can teach young Frank very much. His is the touch of genius—a gift of the gods. * * • The new 91% motors leaked plenty of oil, which combined with the drizzling rain made the track extremely slippery and dangerous on the turns. The drivers were forced, to be careful although it went against the grain for some of them. It would have been a fine day for the front drives if they had stood up because they hold the curves better than the conventional type. * * * The average time of the race was much slower than that of 1925. Such is always the case when new motors are being tried for the first time. They will be ready to break more records next year. Experience, after all, is the best teacher, although a stern one. Os course, the slick track had something to do with cutting down the speed. * * • The crowd at the Speedway was estimated by the management at 132,000. Anyway, there were plenty of folks on hand to see the big annual event. * * * . | INE of the first ten were I IN I filler motored gas buggies. 1 1 " I At that Fred Duesenberg had the be3t average. Ho had two cars in the race and one of them, De Paolo’s car, finished fifth. The two-cycle car was more or less of an experiment. De Paolo appears to have a good boat and, he probably will win some races with it after getting it adjusted and “broken in.” * * * | | HE officials called off the I I race just in time. Shortly 1 j after the checkered flag chased the autos off the track a heavy downpour drenched every cne who had left and drove many back into the shelter of the stands. The congestion at the finish was great, as usually some of the speed fans drift out near the close. On Monday the event was over so suddenly that everybody was leaving the Speedway at the same time. The rain slowed up some of them and autos were leaving the infield more than an hour after the race. * * * A*"' "ALL officials deserve much credit for the orderly mani__ner in which the Speedway race was stopped and started again Monday when rain interfered. It was a ticklish problem handled in fine shape by Chester Ricker, who got the cars under way again in the order in which they were flagged from the track. cqnfusion might have been caused, but everything went off in apple pie order due to capable handling of the perplexing problem. • * * EEON DURAY, one of the best drivers, to perform on the local bricks, dlways has tough luck. Monday it was a broken gas line that put the big fellow out of the running. Jules Ellingboe was up with the leaders when something went wrong with his super-charger. He is another of the tough luck contingent. Duray came into the pits when driving Elliott’s . car, holding the • exhaust pipe in his hand at the sMe of the car. He picked it up OB the back stretch, where it had fkllen off, and held it with a bunch of brass so as not to be burned.

SENATORS MOVE IN FOR FOUR BATTLES WITH BUSH’S INDIANS

Hank Gowdy’s Team Opens Series Here —Locals Finally Win a Game From Leaders. By Eddie Ash Dropped down to fifth place by four defeats in five starts handed them by the leading Colonels, the Indians were to start anew series at Washington Park today with the cellar Senators filling the role as opponents. It is the first visit of Ilank Gowdy’s team to Indianapolis this season and a round of four games will be staged.

Dutch Henry pitched great ball, for the Tribesmen, Monday, in the first half of the double bill, but lost because Joe Dawson twirled some puzzlers the locals couldn't solve. The score was 2 to 1, the visitors scoring one marker in the third when the Tribesmen miscucd twice and again in the fifth stanza. The run registered in the fifth was the only earned marker of the tight mound battle. The Bushmen counted their run in the fourth helped by an error on a sacrifice hit. Two Caught Napping Dawson held the locals to four hits and Henry held the champions to six safeties. Two Indians were caught napping off first in this fracas, and the business of going to sleep all went to put Dawson over with a victory. The second struggle Monday was a wild affair won by the Indians, 11 to 9. Both sides paraded pitchers. Speece, Thompson, Niles and Wisner toiled for the home club and Holley, Cullop and Wilkinson got in the affair for Louisville. Speece hurled big league ball until the sixth when he exploded and was knocked out. The Colonels staged a batting attack and were aided by walks and two costly Tribe errors. Nine runs were piled up before the Hoosiers could betire the side. Tribe Does Come-Back The fans screamed in anguish, but the Indians decided they had been punished enough and in their half of the sixth they braced and sent eight runs clattering over the plate. And all the eight markers were earned, not a Colonel error helping. The Indians had counted twice in the second inning and once in the third and the fat eighth enabled the locals to capture the finale with the champs. With four games of the five to their credit, the Colonels hustled away and headed for home to meet the Toledo Hens today. Ray Miller, Infielder, who was signed by the Indian on Monday, played shortstop in both games of the double attraction. He was given plenty to do and accepted seventeen of nineteen chances. He collected one bingle during the afternoon and go two walks. Joe' Klugman, utility player, has been sold to Memphis. About 7,000 fans saw the Monday twin header, threatening weather holding down attendance.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

OFFICIAL FIGURES FOR RACE (Continued From .1) one more lap to go), on the 159th lap, but he did not get the warning until he had completed the 160th lap. The checkered flag waved at the completion of the 161st lap, 402% miles. A young genius has spruhg up in the sport of auto racing. Anew name is' on every one’s tongue today. Lockhart, Pacific Coast dirt track star, has proved to the world that he can pilot a racing car with’the skill of a veteran and the touch of a master. First Ride Winner On his first ride on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway bricks Lockhart won thee* fourteenth annual sweepstakes. At the finish he was almost two laps ahead of Harry Hartz In second place. Pete De Paolo, who finished fifth this year In a Duesenberg, won last year at an average rate of 101.13 miles an hour, which is a track record for 500 miles. A slippery track and new motors this year tended to slow up the race. For the first ttme in Speedway history rain interrupted • race after it got under way, and it was stopped with Lockhart in the lead at the end of 177% miles. The cars were started again, after an hour and ten minutes' delay, from a standing start. They were lined up single file on the Inside of the track and sent away In the order' that they had been flagged from the track, thus keeping their relative positions In the race. During the intermission drivers and pit men were not allowed to work on the cars or to replenish gas and oil. N Thirteen Finish Only thirteen cars were left when the race was stopped, ten of them getting Into the prize list. Other cars, a total of fifteen, will receive consolation awards. It was a complete rout for the foreign entries, none of which completed the race. The Guyot Special, Guyot driving, was the first car out of the race. Two Schmidt Specials and two Eldridge Specials were forced out before the finish. Three front drive cars also failed to finish, although Dave I/ewls, in a front-drive Miller, led for fortythree laps during tho flrrft of the race and took down $4,300.00 in lap prize money. % Lewis went out on the ninetysecond lap, when he dropped a valvei Earl Cooper In another front drive Miller had trouble from the start, and was forced to withdraw in the seventy-fhurth lap with gear trouble. The Hamlin front drive Ford went out on the lap with a burned out connecting rod bearing. Hartz Drove Steadily Harry Hartz drovq his characteristically steady race and was in his iteual spot, second place, when Lockhart got the checkered flag. Harry took the lead at the 101st lap when Lockhart stopped for gas, water, oil and tires. Lockhart was out one minute and thirteen seconds and regained the lead when Hartz was forced to the pits on the 107th lap for complete change of tires and gasoline. Lockhart got in front by about two laps at this time and held it until the end cf the race. Woodbury in a Boyle Valve Special, a Miller motored car, with patent valves, was a big surprise, and drove In splendid form. He was creeping up on Hartz at the end. Comer, who finished fourth, like his team mate Hartz, set a steady pace and kept it. One of the two Duesies in the race, Pete De'Paolo’s mount, was fifth. He had plenty of trouble at the start

with a car that had not been sufficiently worked out on the track, because of its late arrival, but drove a splendid race and was edging up on the .leaders at the finish, although he was still five laps behind,, along with Comer and Elliott. Shafer Leads Sixteen Laps Elliott finished sixth. Duray acted aa relief driver for Elliott part of the time. Morton aided Comer. The Elcar Special that was wrecked in Herb Jones' fatal accident, was repaired in time to qualify and got in the money when Duff, the English driver, eased Into tenth place. Red Shafer got his lap money while the getting was good. “Ride ’Em Cowboy" stepped on the gas in the first lap and had taken the lead when the cars came around in front of the stands for the first official lap. He was in the lead for sixteen laps, which megnt $1,600. Shafer’s car finished ninth after developing various ailments. Lecklider was driving it at the end in place of Shafer, who had blistered his hands. Batten and Hepburn, who finished seventh and eighth, drove consistently to bring their mounts into the money. The only accident of the day, although there were several narrow escapes, came in the fifty-fifth lap,

when an axle broke on the Duesenberg two-cycle job, and Ben Jones' car hit the inner wall at the northwest turn. Jo'nes was unhurt and walked into the pits. * Spectators at the north turn got most of the thrills when the cars skidded on the slippery bricks. Eldridge at one time turned around twice, barely missing Duff, Hartz and Woodbury. SENSATIONAL PITCHING Sinling'r of Spencer Strikes Out Twenty-Three Opposing Batsmen. Bu Times Special SPENCER, Ind., June I.—Pitcher Sinlinger of Spencer hurled remarkable ball against Ft. Harrison nine of Indianapolis here Memorial day, striking out twenty-three man and allowing only two hits. The score was Spencer, 3; Ft. Harrison, 0. Sinlinger fanned the last thirteen men to face him. KOKOMO DEFEATED Bu Timm Special CJTLVER, Ind., June 1. —Culver Military Academy track team defeated Kokomo High School In a dual meet Monday, 59 to 40. Cadet Knourek was high point man, winning the 100 and 220-yard dashes.

•Sportsmanship of Drivers Remarkable, Says Winner. "This is so sudden: a fellow has to think things over.” A little bewildered at his sudden elevation to the American speed throne, Frank Lockhart, winner of the Speedway race Monday, today paused to determine plans for the future. Lockhart, 23-year-old driver of the Miller Special that flashed first across the line, said he will remain In Indianapolis for several days to determine his plans for the future. "It was one of the easiest races I ever drove,” said Lockhart. "I never saw a race so smoothly run and the sportsmanship of the other drivers was of a much higher type than In the rough dirt-track game.” Lockhart has been racing on the dirt track circuit since he was 20 years old . "Why, on the dirt track, they’ll run over you for a dime,” he said. j The newly crowned speed king's greatest regret, he said, was the fact that the automobile classic was interrupted by rain at the '4OO-mile mark. "It would have been so much better for the public and for myself if the race had lasted the full distance," he said. Lockhart attended a banquet Monday night and then retired, but said that he was unable to get to sleep until 12:30. "But I certainly did sleep.” he declared. COLLEGE BASEBALL , lowa, 18; Chicago, 6.
