TENACITY OF TWO CHICAGO CLUBS SURPRISE OF MAJOR LEAGUE RACES

-SPEEDWAY- ' Continued from Page 10 otiß Southwest points and it was territory that consistent performances earned him an opportunity to join Bill White, who owned the Duesie. Another Duesenberg, entered by the Duesenberg Bros, of Indianapolis, missed taking second honors Monday by the narrowest of margins. It was a Perfect Circle Duesenberg driven at the start by Wade Morton, and it had a good lead for the runner-up honors when it was forced out after completing 198 laps (495 miles). It was announced a broken drive shaft was the reason this mount was robbed of a big slice of the prize money. It was the first “big time” event for Souders and he finished ahead of the second-place car by about twelve minutes. He said the hardest part of the distance was the last 100 miles when the brick course got slippery and required constant vigilance to escape an accident. He stated he was fortunate in not having to face narrow escapes during the long battle. His hands were blistered slightly at the wind-up and his hearing was affected by the constant roar of the race and wind. He was able to walk to the field hospital immediately after he climbed from his mount and later he posed for movies and accepted the congratulations of friends and other admirers. 19 Cars Eliminated Thirty-three cars answered the red starting flag Monday and nineteen were eliminated by various during the event. After the teWr car in the money had gone the 200 laps, two machines still were in action and they were flagged from the course and everybody went home. The 1917 contest was over. The Speedway capital prize of $60,000 is distributed as follows: $20,000 to the winner; SIO,OOO for second; $5,000 for third; $3,500 for fourth; $3,000 for fifth; $2,200 for sixth; SI,BOO for seventhr 51,600 for i eighth: $1,500 for ninth; $1,400 for tenth; SIO,OOO consolation distributed among starting cars that failed to finish or finished out of the first ten. Nineteen cars come in for some of this 1927 consolation money. There are numerous valuable accessory prizes also that go to the winner. Two Pit Stops Souders, wearer of the royal speed robes today, made only two stops at the pits Monday to take on fuel and change wheels with worn tires, and his time lost was less than four minutes. He drove a steady, consistent race, stayed around the 100mile an hour average early and reduced his speed later after the “big boys” had been eliminated and after he gained the lead. George probably could have turned in a better average, but it wasn’t necessary. He stayed about twelve minutes ahead of the car running second and was satisfied to win without risking damage to his mount. jtfßtas a sad day for the frontmachines. They were out of luck. The rear-drives triumphed. j Lockhart’s Great Start Frank Lockhart, in a Perfect Circle Miller Special, winner of the curtailed 1926 event here, took the lead at the hop off Monday and set a Sizzling pace that pushed into the discard records for various distances. He was ahead going in fine style until forced to the pits after completing the eighty-first lap (202% miles).

ThereupoA Charles (Dutch) Bauman of Indianapolis, driving a Miller Special, grabbed the lead and held on for nine laps (22 % miles). Lockhart emerged from the pits in fast time, took out after Bauman and regained first position on the ninetyfirst lap (227% miles). Gave Fans Thrill Lockhart, the California comet, led the pack again for twenty-nine more laps, or until he had completed 119 laps (297% miles.) At this point Frank was eliminated when a connecting rod went through his crank case. The far West demon certainly drove a wonderful race and at break neck speed while he was in there. Bob McDonogh’s car, with Pete De Paolo driving relief, captured the first position in the 150th lap (300 miles), and stayed ahead for thirty laps. . t.-ge Souders, the eventual win‘aped out in front for the first time in the 150th lap (375 miles), arid continued on to annex the highest auto race laurels of the daring pas-) time. His lap winnings amounted to $5,100, he having been in first position 51 laps. Lockhart carried off SII,OOO lap money as the record showed him owning 110 laps. Bauman drew down S9OO lap prize and the McDonogh car $3,000. Turns Down Relief Souders went into the pits to regroom his car after he had passed the 160-lap mark (400 miles), and it was then that efforts were made to induce him to accept a relief pilot, which he gamely refused. The race official in charge of pit information sent word to the press stand that Lockhart had relieved Souders and caused wild turmoil among the scribes, who recognized Souders as being still in the car. To make matters worse the erroneous information was repeated from,, the pits. But that was only one of several errors on the part of the pit guessers in the matter of confusing reporters on relief pilots. CONCEDES TROPHY Bm T'nitrd Press PITTSBURGH. Pa., May 31.

Surprising Situation Develops in American and National Circuits. By Paul W. White I'nitcd Press Staff Corresoondent NEW YORK, May 31.—As the third month of the baseball season opens, no club in either league has shown sufficient strength to amass a lead that could not be overcome in less than a week. The Pittsburgh Pirates, showing their heels to opposition in the National League, have an advantage of three and one-half games over the second-place Chicago Cubs; the New York Yankees on top in the American League lead the Chicago White Sox by only one and a half games. The situation is surprising, as the Pirates have just completed an eleven-straight winning streak, and the Yankees have been playing rings around most of their opponents. The tenacity of the two Chicago teams has been the most unexpected development of the season. Baseball men are wont to say that the Cubs and White Sox are “over j their heads,” but their play has been! so consistent many fans wonder whether they can be so easily dismissed. The April and May' games do not decide a pennant, but it is already obvious that the 1927 season in both leagues is likely to produce close races. • The Cardinals are only half a game back of the Cubs and the faltering Giants another half game back of the Cards. In the junior circuit the Athletics are two and a half games behind the White Sox and lead the Senators by one and a half games. In the Wall Street commission

houses, where odds on the major league teams are quoted throughout the year, the Yankees today were listed at 2% to 1 shots to win the pennant and the Athletics at 4 to 1, despite their failure to live up to expectations in the early games, were in second place. The Pirates, Giants and Cards were established around 3 to 1. With most of the play made on New York. The Giants always will have a strong following as long as they have a chance at the championship. May Be L'pset Baseball calculations for the year are likely to be upset by the abundance of double-headers to come later In the summer. The spring has been so cold and wet that sev-enty-three have come In the two leagues. The National League must make up forty-two lost games and the American thirty-one. When the time arrives that doul 'e-headers are a regular occurrence any team is liable to crack. Pitchers are unable to work out of turn and if forced to, may ruin their arms for the rest of the season. The Boston Braves have ten postponed games to play off on their home lot, in addition to others in Brooklyn. Philadelphia and New York, But the Braves, in seventh place, and likely to rise no further do not cause much concern. It is when the leaders are forced into an orgy of double-headers that things begin to happen. LITTLE BILL WINS Bu l'lifted Press SAN FRANCISCO.
