Back With A’s Miller Will Be Held in Reserve by Mack This Season.

"Bing’’ Miller

After being away from the Athletics’ fold for several seasons, "Bing'’ Miller, shown here, is again with Philadelphia and will be used as an understudy to the regular outfield trio of Cobb, Speaker and Simmons. Miller, although not as fast as he once w r as, is still able to get his base hits regularly. He should see much action this summer.

developing into one “'swell roughhouse" encounter and the Englishman was a shade in the lead when the low blow landed. The Legion ; physician bore out Foreman's claim of foul. Foreman started fast and had the large crowd in an uproar in the opening frame when he let loose a barrage of stiff rights and lefts. He outpunched Hackley throughout the initial stanza and had the round by a wide margin. The second canto saw' the boys start their roughhouse tactics. It was all Hackley and the local fighter had the Briton bleeding profusely from a bad cut over his eye. HackleyV: short uppercuts to the body were counting and Foreman was moving backwards. The best scrap among the prelims in the opinion of The Times was a substitute bout, a six-rounder between Charley Shine and Cecil Hurt, local welterweights. Shine won the scrap by virtue of a slashing attack in the last two rounds. Both boys put up a great exhibition and were rewarded by a bonus by the Legion commission. Shine has improved a good deal and he had more accuracy than he has displayed in former fights. Hurt fought back and made a great "go" out of it. Nick Taft of Chicago didn’t land half a dozen punches in the four rounds he stayed with Jimmy Klump of Newport, Ky. Taft walked into a soiid right-handed cross in the fourth frame and was stretched out frozen. Tony Philips shaded Royal Cox of Indianapolis .in an interesting six-round battle. Neither scrapper cut loose with any punching power worth raving about. Philips’ wide margain in the fifth round was the deciding factor. Mickey Williams beat Joe Levy, in a good four-round opener. Williams showed lots of hustle, in the last two rounds. Both are from Indianapolis. Next week’s show will feature a double-windup, Jack Kane of Chi* i cago meeting Tony Ross of Pitts* i burgh and Kid Lencho, Mexico City, battling Babe Keller, Toledo. 4 BOXERS SUSPENDED .Massachusetts Mitt Body Hands Out Decision for Recent Bouts.

Yankees Hardly Prepared to Make Customary Early Season Dash. APPEARS EVEN IN N. L. Close, Exciting Dash May " Be Program. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, April 4.—Tired of seeing the New York Yankees run away with the pennant, fans are looking forward to a close race in the American League this season. With as many as seven clubs entertaining pennant hopes in the National League another thrilling race is in prospect in the senior circuit. From all indications, the Yankees are hardly prepared to stage their customary early dash which has caused interest to wane in the American League the past two seasons. The Yankees have completely dominated their league for the past two years, occupying first place continuously during both seasons except for a brief week in April, 1926, when the Cleveland Indians assumed the lead only to lose it right back to the Hugmen. Another pennant may be in store for the Yankees this season, but the odds are against the New York Club taking the lead on the first day of the season and holding it through Sept. 30. The strength seems to be more evenly distributed in the National League than it was last season, and the only club that can be definitely counted out of the race is the Phillies. The showing of Cobb and Speaker undoubtedly will have a lot to do with where the A's finish. The Pirates’ catching staff is none too strong and there may be a weak spot in the outfield if Ccmorosky doesn’t live up to expectations. The ability of Maguire to play second and Butler third may hold the Cubs’ fate. The left side of the infield may make or break the Cardinals.

Worlds qneatest V4l u e and Outselling allsixes

The world’s largest sale of 6-cylinder cars became an Essex achievement solely because of merit. All 6-cylinder sales records are swept aside in the enthusiastic reception everywhere accorded the New Essex SuperSix. Many communities report 100%, 200%, even 300% greater sales than for the corresponding period of last year, which was the former all-time Essex record. In all ways the New Essex Super-Six is engineered to the lowest operation and maintenance costs. And increasing thousands of owners rolling up thousands of miles of service prove that these qualities which delight you on your first ride are just as lasting as they are brilliant.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

CROSS COUNTRY RECORD SET BY FALCON-KNIGHT Stock Car Goes From Capital to Los Angeles in 73 Hours. Driving from Washington, D. C., to Los Angeles, a distance of 3,198 miles, in 73 hours, 47 minutes, a Falcon-Knight six coach with Cannonball Baker at the wheel, has established anew world record for trans-continental travel. This new mark clips six hours and eight minutes off the former world record held by a six-cylinder ninety horsepower car selling in the $3,000 price class. The Falcon - Knight's record breaking run from across the continent was officially timed by Western Union, both at the start and finish. Baker roared out of the national capital at 1:30 a. m. on March 27, and was checked in at Los Angeles by a representative of the Western Union at 12:17 a. m. on March 30, thus completing one of the most remarkable sustained speed and stamina runs in the history of cross country. Encounter Storm, Mud Every type of weather and road condition was encountered by the flying Falcon-Knight, but It hummed over the 3.198 miles without a moment’s mechanical trouble. The route covered hills, two ranges of mountains, heavy city traffic, prairie land and mile after mile of desert country. Baker took off from Washington into a blinding storm. At Kansas City the speedometer registered Baker arriving there twenty-three hours and fifty-five minutes after leaving Washington. Shortly thereafter he left the paved highways and sent the speeding Falcon-Knight over the dirt and gravel roads of Kansas, completing the 400 mile run to Dodge City in less than nine hours. Speeds Into Albuquerque The Falcon-Knight speeded into Albuquerque, N. M , at 11:50 p. nt. on March 28, covering the 2.123 miles from Washington in about forty-six hours. Through the night the Falcon Six's engine functioned perfectly. The car slipped noiselessly into Needles. Cal., at 3:20 p. m. on March 29 after negotiating steep mountain grades. From Needles the last dash to the goal at Los Angeles was under way. With the Falcon-Knight sleevevalve engine continuing to deliver its maximum horsepower despite the sustained speed that had been maintained hour after hour, day after day and night after night from Washington. Covered 3,198 Miles At 12:17 a. m. the Falcon-Knight glided into the city limits of Los Angeles, where it was met by a Western Union official to attest the exact time of arrival. The speedometer registered 3,198 miles from Washington. The time for the record smashing Falcon-Knight run is straight time with no allowance for delays or stops of any kind. For this reason cars entering this gruelling grind must be so well constructed that they can stand to be driven day after day without let-up. Home Builders Banquet Tonight Roy N. Downs, of the American Radiator Company, has been announced as toastmaster for the Indianapolis Home Builders’ Association dinner tonight at the Manufacturers’ Bldg., State fairground. The association is building a model home as a feature of the Home Show to open Saturday under auspices of the Indianapolis Real Estate Board.

Color Marks Buick Easter Style Show

*.■" * ' /'" : * '''

Only three days remain for residents of Indianapolis and vicinity to visit the Buick Style Show, which lias attracted hundreds to the show rooms of the Buick Motor Car Company this week. The style show, first event of its sort ever held here, is a pre-Easter exhibit of Buick cars, in a gayly decorated spring setting, with emphasis upon the tasteful combination of line and color which comprise the elusive thing known as style. Cars of today must also possess grace and beauty, they must be luxurious and comfortable. Buick's bolier that its new cars offer exceptionally smart appearance, in addition to the qualities of performance and endurance for which they have always been famous, has prompted these style shows in cities all over the country. And the attendance the event has enjoyed, elsewhere as well as here, seems to justify Buick’s claims.

‘MYSTERY CAR' ! IS GROOMED IN I LIGHT SIX FIELD Rumor Says New Machine to Be Introduced to Market Soon. By Times Special DETROIT, April 4.—A new type, low priced six cylinder motor car, as sensational in its features as certain of the recent much discussed light fours, is likely to be announced within the next few weeks according to a well defined rumor current in automotive circles here. During the past few weeks anew car, obviously equipped with a six cylinder power plant, but bearing no insignia which would establish the identity of the manufacturer, has been seen on the highways of Michigan where speed laws arc lifted to the careful drivers. This car differs in many respects from any six now on the market and according to drivers who have followed it over the road, reveals a striking performance ability In speed, power and smoothness. It Is a low car, with compact yet ample body dimensions and with striking acceleration. The wheelbase is estimated to bt about 110 inches, full balloon tires are used as equipment and such casual inspection as has been possible while the car has been stopped at. filling stations or on the street, has shown it to be fully equipped in every way. Its ability to run for long stretches at high speed indicates that the power plant must be equipped with a highly efficient lubrication system and that it must develop a high power rating.
