TIRRINS the DOPE By VEDDER GARD

IARRY HARTZ is so far ahead in the race for the i___ automobile speed championship that it. seems impossible for any one to catch him. In the latest figures compiled by the A. A. A., after the Atlantic City event, Hartz had 2,194 points. Others in the first ten: De Paolo, ' 1,475; Hill, 867; Lockhart, 825; Batten, 615; Comer, 594; Devore, 525; Lewis, 500; Cooper, 415; Elliott, .382. Hartz’s record is remarkable for its consistency. And, queer enough, although he can drive with the best of them, he hasn’t achieved* his success by roaring around the tracks of the country at highest speed—but by taking it easy. This very fact makes him i rather unpopular with some who like to see the drivers who take desqjerate chances. Bu|; one eanot blame Harry. His methods have justified themselves as far as getting the dough is concerned’. And not many pilots are in the game for their health. Hartz’s first year as a driver was 1922. In the race for the championship he finished third. The following year he ranked fourth and in 1924 he dropped to i sixth, but was back in third place again 'in 1925. And this year, unless De Paolo hoists himself by his own bootstraps, Hartz is going to rank first. No racing driver has ever equalled that record. It all harks back to the years of the mighty engines, beside which the present motors are mere minatures. Then, Hartz, was only a racing mechanic. He rode with Eddie Hearne —and Eddie taught him. Hearne nursed his cars along. He seldom ran first, but he always finished, and, far more than the average, ran in the money. So, he ran almost leisurely while the others were running fast, and travelled fast when the others were slowing down—he ran his race in the miles closest to the checkered flag at the end of the mill. Ijle petted and babied his car through the first long miles—and it paid him in profitable coin at the last. When Hartz ceased to be a mechanic and was mounted in his own car, he lived by what Hearne had taught him. So, when tho 183-cublc Inch motors came down to 122 inches, developing anew fragility, if there is anything in racing engines that can be called fragile, Hartz was in his element. Now, this year, the engine size lagain has been reduced, this time to MVi cubic inches. Thus, it is a year made for Hartz. But it is not made for De Paolo, for Pete is of that school which wants out in front. Pete, undoubtedly, is more popular. But Harry is out in front for tsie championship, which seems to be the big idea after all. Hartz may be colorless, but he usually puts something into his pocket after each race. It's color is green—called by some, the long green. • * * mT looks as though the junior tennis players who gather at Culver Military Academy next week had better watch out for a youngster from the Pacific Coast, Bobby Seller by name. In the Chicago city tourney Friday the youth beat A1 Green, former Chicago champ, 6-0, 6*4. Seller is the first ranking junior player on the coast and he may bo another Eddie Chandler or Cranston Holman—maybe a Bill Johnston in years to con?e. * * * Columbus Senators finally have found somebody they can beat and have developed a winning streak of three games with the Millers the victims. * * * Purdue students inclined toward tennis will find eight courts ready for them when they return this fall, the eight being the first unit of about thirty-two which eventually will be built on one sectien of the Ross-Ade field.

FINALE WITH BLUES TODAY; BREWERS HERE FOR TWO SUNDAY

Thriller Week-End on Tap at Tribe / Park—lndians Brace Friday, and Trounce K. C. By Eddie Ash * Washington Park is expected to be a hotbted of strife over the week-end. Ownie Bush’s Indians were to wind up the series with Kansas €>ity this afternoon and no easy game was anticipated. The Blues annexed two of the first three, the Tribesmen winning Friday, 7 to 3, behind Carmen Hill. Incidentally, it was Hill’s seventeenth pitching victory of the season.

On Sunday the Milwaukee Brewers come for a double-header, first struggle at 2 o’clock. The Brewer series calls for five battles and the twin bill Sunday Is a regularly scheduled bargain. The Bushmen- weVe three and onehalf games back of the leading Colonels today and two games behind tho second-place Milwaukee team. , First K. C. Defeat Hero Friday was the first time this season Kansas City took- a licking at Washington Park. On their spring visit here, the Blues won four In a row and also copped the Wednesday and Thursday contests _ this fveek. It took Hill’s cunning and perfect support to hold ’em off Friday. Wisner or Speece was to face the Abbottnten on the mound in the series finale this afternoon. The Indians scored in the opening Inning Friday instead of letting the opposition do it, two Tribesmen counting. K. O. hurriedly knotted the score In the second, but after that no more markers were made off Hill until the ninth, when Branom got around. Two Indians crossed the plate in the fifth, one in the seventh and two in the eighth. Fourteen hits were ga/jiered off Jimmy Zinn and eight oft Hill.

Shift on Infield Manager Bush shifted Sicking back to second and Miller to short and the change operated to the Indianas’ Advantage, two double plays being executed. Miller accepted nine chances and Sicking four. Holke and Fisher also performed brilliantly iq the field and the former got two hits and the iatter three. The outstanding fielding play was turned in by Fisher in the seventh. Branom drove a long one to the right field corner. Fisher sprinted over the foul line, snared the ball with his gloved hand and crashed into the bleacher screen. He held the sphere, however. Six Tribe Runs Earned Murray and Branom played bangup ball In the field for the visitors. Tho two errors charged In the game were against Crigsby and Smith, the latter’s mlscue helping The Tribe score in the eighth. Six of the Indians’ seven runs wer earned. One of the largest Saturday crowds of the season was expected to view today’s fracas and on Sunday the park doubtless will be packed. Attehdance Friday was 1,300 paid, 1,100 women and 800 children. Women and children get another free game Monday. Carmen helped himself over the hill in the third K. C. battle by getting two hits. Jimmy Zinn, his mound opponent, also got two, but no one accused the twirlers of having an understanding. Matthews was the victim of a hot stop by Smith in the second. The Blue ’third sacker snared the ball with one hand. Sicking’s triple in the seventh went all the way to the left field corner. Eddie showed the fans some speed getting around the sacks. Miller made a leaping catch of Tierney’s liner -in the eighth to retire the side. Miller was called out on a third strike in the seventh that he could not have reached with two- bats. Holke, playing with a lame foot, got a single and double. He made a fancy'pick-up of Voter’s bad throw in the third and also knocked down a vicious drive by ZJnn In the same inning and threw to Hjll -to get the runner. Ben Tincup and Dave Danforth hooked up in a pitching battle at Louisville Friday. The Colonels won, 3 to 2, and retained the A. A. lefcd. The tailend Senator; made it three straight over the Millers: It’s true! Saints and Hens went fifteen innings; the Saints winning, 12 to 8. St. Paul got four runs in the sixth extra round. Cullop poled a Hfcnjer in the thirteenth. Anderson collected five hits for the Saints and Foss four. St. Paul used five pitchers and Toledo four, Sunday, at Washington Park, Indianapolis fans will get a glimpse of the mighty Fritz Shulte, the sensation of the season in Tom Hickey’s loop. And he’s no false alarm. He is a slugger, fast on the bases and good in the outfield, and he owns a strong arm. Shulte is 22 years of age and this is his Second season in the A. A. He has been sold to the St. Louis Browns for a large sum of casli and ■three players, Pitchers Jonnard, Robertson and Infielder Lamotte. Indianapolis and Milwaukee have met twelve times this season, the Indians winning seven of the conflicts. “X Pitcher Boone, 21, a right-hander, has been purchased from the Terre Haute Club of the Three-I League by the Indians. Manager Bush recommended the “buy” and Vice President fjmith completed the deal Friday night. A fancy amount of cash and Outfielder went in the transaction. Boone will not report to the Tribe until after the close of the Three-I season. Sept. 12. Boone is said to be a hurler of the Fred Fitzsimmons type. He has been a mainstay with the Terriers. Bush visited Terre Haute recently and viewed tne youth in tfctiqp.

You don't hear a great deal about Heinie Manush, outfielder* with the Detroit T(gers. But "Big Heinie,” as his playmates pall him, is one of the leading bat manipulators of the present American League season. Manush has been pounding out safe swats at a consistent clip and Is right up with the circuit's leaders.

It ROSIER golf pastimers start11—4 led a march on South Bend I* *1 today. Monday, over the Chain o* Lakes course, the Indiana State amateur tournament will get under way. Thirty-six holes oT qualifying golf will be played. Tuesday match play begins, and eighteen holes each will be played, narrowing the field to half each round. The final match next Saturday will be thirty-six holes for the championship. Indianapolis will be represented by some of its select, “for-honor-not-money” players. The chances of our city to house the 1926 champion took a drop with the announcement that Eddie Zimmer. city champ and State champion in 1924, will not play. Eddie explained his case in a few words recently wh<n he said; "I love golf and get lots of fun out of playing eighteen holes once or twice a week, but when I get into competition and it runs for a week, I am just not able to do it. .In justice to rritf health and future, it is impossible.” This Eddie leaves the field of contenders. and Dwight Mitchell,. defending champion of 1925, will be on hand as the man in the spotlight. How long he Will remain Is problematical. South Bend has sop-ie mighty fine players who shoot wicked scores on their own course. Mitchell is going to have a hard time getting French Lick rolls out of Chain O’ Lake sogginess, and the same for our Indianapolis players. These boys, Elmore and Moore, look good to the Benders. • • • Officials of the Western Goll Association will visit Indianapolis next Wednesday.

MEDIOCRE ENTRY IN BIGJRACE Second-Raters Compete for SIOO,OOO Stake in American Derby. Bu United Press PHICAGO, July 31.—The spectacle of two or three stake horses of secondary importance competing with several near-platers for a SIOO,OOO purse was to be presented to the racing public this afternoon when the historic American Derby was revived at the Homewood track. Except for the Idle Hour entry of Bagenbaggage and Boot to Boot, W. J. Salmon’s Display and the good W. R. Coe filly, Black Maria, there was nothing much iq the ifeice. A little opposition, might come from Bolton or Smiling Gus. Bagenbaggage, which has not been Jn good shape lately, probably will be scratched. The field likely will be seven horses. The only early withdrawal was Chicago. Other Scratches were expected before post time, hpwever. Due to uncertainty over the date of the stake and an impression that there was some *'catch” to the offer of SIOO,OOO, most eastern owners ignored the race and sent their stars to Saratoga. A crowd of more than 30,000 was expected at the track this afternoon.
