Merely Chatter BY NORMAN ISAACS

BUSINESS in this sport world is rather brisk these days, what with the baseball circuits in full swing, the classic Kentucky Derby approaching and the annual 500-

m i 1 e gasoline derby at the InIndianapolis Motor Speedway right behind that. Down at Churchill Downs they are grooming the ponies for the “horse race of horse races.” Reigh Count still is an outstanding favorite to annex the laurels, . but the years when winter-book fa-

vorites "come through” are far and few between. The boys are starting to sing the praises of anew aspirant— Groucher. Some experts are of the opinion that if Harry Payne Whitney’s colt can improve a little over his 2-year-old form the aforementioned H. P. \V. may be “collecting” on May 19. B B B THE lIURRY-BUGGIES THOSE fans who want speed, speed and more speed have their eyes pinned on the activities of the local brick motor oval, the two-and-one-half mile dish around which thirty-three of the fastest speed creations in the world will vie for the highest honor in automobile speed on Decoration day. It is an "open” race this year and every car which lines up at the barrier will have an even chance to be the first to be signalled with checkered flag, symbolic of victory. The race promises to have more local interest than has been evinced for some years. Seven Indianapolisbuilt automobiles, Stutz, Marmon and Duesenberg, among others built locally, are represented, and it promises to be one merry chase. b a a THAT SHARKEY BOUT IT'S all over now. The New York boxing commission will not take any action relative to the seventy-three-second knockout of Jack Delaney by Jack Sharkey the other evening. The French-Canadian was said to have shirked training for the bout and interspersed much golf with his training routine. Chairman James A. Farley of the New York mitt ‘commish” started to say some things to the sport scribes and mentioned a probe. Later, James changed his mind and denied that he had asserted that a probe had been ordered. b b a TOUGH ON BLISTERS CERTAINLY is a Lough life for the heel-and-toe, trotting and running artists competing in Mr. Cross-Country” Pyle’s marathon from Los Angeles to New York. The runners are starting to face some of the tougher portions. After leaving Chicago Sunday the “derby” contestants head for Gary, which doesn’t happen to be such a long lap. But on Monday the patients, if they can be called such, move over to South Bend, a matter of a mere sixty miles, which is the longest lap of the event.

Tribe Begins Series With Brewers After Being Goose-Egged by Saints Apostles Make It Four in Row Over Indians, Giard Scoring Shutout, Thursday—Roettger Shines.

Bn Times Special ST. PAUL, May 4.—Taking it on the chin four times in a row at the hands of the Saints,, the Indians pulled out of this city Thursday night bound for Milwaukee, where they were to open a three-game series today. Lefty Giard. once oi the Toledo Hens and New York Yankees, gooseegged the Betzelites in the series windup Thursday, 3 to 0, allowing seven hits, and he scattered them with the exception of the first inning when Warstler opened the action with a single and raced to third on Connolly’s double. Tribe Bubble Bursts It looked as though the Indians were in for a big start, but Anderson fanned, Giard wisely walked Russell and Mueller hit into a double play. After that Giard had the situation well in hand. He was given fairly keen competition by Ford Schupp, who twirled six innings for the Tribe. Speece hurled the seventh and eighth after Layne batted for Schupp. Roettger. a brother of Wally Roettger of the St. Louis Cardinals, was the Apostles’ hero Thursday and the man who ruined the Hoosiers. He blasted the sphere for a home run, triple and double and scored with all three St. Paul runs. The big first-sacker certainly crashed the ball hard. Double Plays Hurt Three double plays executed by the Saints played an important part in keeping the Indians away from the plate, one coming in the first round, one in the fifth and in the last inning, after Betzel singled with

It's happened—the Columbus Senators are back in the A. A. cellar, Toledo climbing out by defeating the Brewers Thursday. The cup of joy for the Senator fan flowed over for a spell, but the pitching staff, owned by Nemo Leibold, was unable to keecp going. The Indians are the only eastern A. A. team still hanging in the first division. Bill Burwell was slated to hurl the scries opener for the Tribesmen at Milwaukee today. The Senator-Blue tilt at K. C. Thursday was shortened to eight innings to allow Columbus to catch a train, but by that time the Cowboys had their opponents slaughtered. 16 to 9. Ktihel got five hits for the winners, one a triple. The Saints swept the four-game series with the Indians, the Blues handed the Senators the same dose and Minneapolis knocked off Louisville four in a row. Toledo got an even break with the Brewers. Spencer Karri* of the Millers broke out with four hit* Thursdav, one a homer. He has blasted six circuit drives this season. Bob Veach drove in four runs for the Hens to help knock off Milwaukee, 6 to 5. The winners counted three runs in the ninth. What a difference a few days make! Pitcher Rov Sanders of the Brewers weakened under intense heat Thursday and was forced to retire. When the Home Brews visited Indianapolis they donned tlie largest sweaters available. Manager Stengel of the Hens essayed to pinrh hit Thursday Vhrn bis team had the bases filled and he hit into a double play. Before leaving St. Paul members of the Indians got up a purse of S6O and Manager Betzel presented It to Jim Murray, former A. A. umpire who is In financial difficulties on a .‘-mall farm where he is trvlng to make a living. Pans of St Paul aiid the St. Paul Club are promoting a benefit dance for Jim and the profits will go toward lifting a mortgage.

Steady Work of Americans Gets Results Yankee Golfers Starting to Hit Stride on British Courses. BY GENE SARAZEN (Written for the United Tress) SANDWICH, England, May 4. The steady work of the American golfers here for the British open championship is beginning to show results. Thursday the American players had one of the best days they have had since they began practice here. Walter Hagen’s game is beginning to pick up and it may be too early to count him out of the running for the title. He shot a 70 and a 73 and looked far better than he has at any time since he set foot on British soil.

Hagen is toughening his hands which bothered him in his match with Archie Compston. Hagen's long layoff from the links allowed his hands to become tender, but he believes they will be in good shape for the opening of the tournament Monday. The sensation of Thursday's play was a hole-in-one shot by Silas Newton. American amateur, who sank his tee shot on No. 16. 16!) , yards, on the the St. George's course. Jim Barnes was hitting them well, turning in a 71 and a 72. Tommy Armour played only 18 holes, shooting a 70. I have not been playing up to my best, but hope to get going better this week-end and reach my I peak in the tournament. I had a i 72 and a 73 Thursday.
