ell'll COMPLETING LEGAL CATCH What Is regarded as necessary to complete a legal catch of a thrown ball on a play at first base or a force play? tt tt tt MAJOR league umpires regard the hands as the means of completing a play on a thrown ball. That is, the ball must be securely held in the hand or hands of the fielder making the play. If on a play at first base, or a force play at any other base, the ball arrives ahead 8 of the runner, he is out, provided the ball is secureflelder prior to the time the runner reaches the base. If a ball is thrown to the first baseman and it reaches him several feet in advance of the runner, the runner is out if the ball is securely held in advance of him. However, if the ball which reached the fielder in advance of the runner is juggled, and in the interim before the ball is securely held the runner reaches the base, he is safe. I have received many inquires in which the player juggles the ball, then has it roll up his arm, and prior to the runner reaching the base, the fielder has the ball firmly! under his arm or held against his body by his elbow. The question is, does such a holding of the ball complete the play and should the runner be called out? As I stated above, major league umpires work on' the theory that baseball is played ■with the hands relative to the actual catching of the ball. For that reason they would not regard such a happening as the completion of a play at first or a force play at any other base. To complete a catch, the ball must be securely held in the hand or hands of the fielder making the play, is the way the umpires view it.

Heavy Rain in Louisville Leaves Much Water on Big Course.

TWENTY HORSES LISTED Odds on Reigh Count May Undergo Shift. By United Press CHURCHILL DOWN S, LOUISVILLE, May 17.—A torrential rain today changed entire outlook for the Kentucky Derby on Saturday. The rain began about 6:30 a. m. and. continued all morning. It was one of the heaviest in months and the Churchill Downs track was covered with water. Prospects of the track drying out by Saturday seemed extremely remote, even if the weather cleared and became hot and sunny. The rain gave new heart to trainers of horses who perform best in the mud and who would be conceded only an outside chance on a fast track. Favorite Good Mudder While Mrs. John D. Hertz’s Reigh Count, the heavy favorite, is claimed by his stable to be a capable mudder and proved it by a smart workout in the bad going today, the odds probably will shift noticeably, since many things can happen on a bad track that would not occur when the going is good. Tom Young, track superintendent, set a force of men at work draining off the “lake” that had been at the Churchill Downs oval. Young was optimistic and said with clear, hot weather Friday and Saturday his workmen might be able to whip the track in good shape for the Derby. The rain stopped shortly before noon today. Eligibles Work Out The general opinion, however, was that the track would be soft, especially if the rain resumes and soaks into the firm underfooting. Despite the going, a large group of Derby eligibles went through their workouts and most of them performed amazingly well. From the declarations of owners and the assiduous training of more than a score of eligibles on hand, an overnight entry list of as many as twenty-five may be made public Friday. Five or six scratches could be counted on, depending on track conditions. The largest field that ever started was twenty-one in 1923, when Zev won.

It Won’t Be Long! Final speed trials were held by most of the candidates Wednesday and today and only light conditions were planned between now and the derby. Louisville was approaching the height of Derby week today. The Chicago contingent was here in force and thousands from other cities are pouring in. Every day at the track is a miniature “Derby Day” and a crowd of close to 15,000 was expected this afternoon. Earl Sande late Wednesday informed the United Tress that he would not ride in the Derby. Sande had. been offered the leg up on Martie Flynn by Stuvestant Peabody of Chicago. Peabody was reported to have offered Sande a fee up to $30,000. Sande was to ride Osmand in the Toboggan Handicap at Belmont today.

Tribesmen Score Seven Runs on Eight Hits to Defeat Senators Swetonic Goes Full Route, Though Wild, to Down Lyons Wednesday: Series Finale Friday.

By Times Special COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 17.—Having slapped over the Senator cellar occupants again Wednesday, 7 to 4, the Indians hoped to make it three in a row here today. Hitting with men on the sacks put the Tribesmen across in the, second of the series, and two Columbus errors also figured in the Tribe’s rungetting. Steve Swetonic went the full route for the winners, while George Lyons, veteran Senator righthander, retired for a pinch hitter after the eighth. Each team got eight hits. Columbus used sixteen men in an effort to break a losing streak, while the Indians found it necessary to call on reserves. It was the ninth straight defeat for the Senators. Both Swetonic and Lyons lacked good control and the former walked eight and the latter six. Scouts representing the New York , Giants, the Cincinnati Reds and Phillie Nationals viewed the pastiming to watch Joe Stripp perform. The Senator third-sacker has been hitting and fielding in fine style since the season opened, and Stripp supplied the scouts with something to discuss Wednesday by getting two singles and a triple, and he accepted six chances a-field without a slip. And he stole wo bases. Columbus stole four bt v ' niefly because Swetonic permittee runners to take long leads. The Indians wind up their local stay Friday, after which they will visit Toledo for three games. Indians and Senators had the league “all their own” Wednesday, all other contests being postponed by rain.

Race Drivers Groom Mounts for Strenuous Action at Speedway Thirteen More Days Until Classic and Exponents of Speed Work Hard for Race.

BY NORMAN ISAACS THE gentlemen who make a’ practice of “eating up the miles” in their tiny racing cars are girding themselves for real action at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where the sixteenth renewal of the 500-ir.ile classic will be run May 30. With only thirteen more days remaining until the “gasoline derby starts, the drivers, mechanics and track devotees are getting down to the more serious things which, at the immediate moment, happen to be more and better speeds. The entrants in the annual race today were looking up at the clouds with apprehensive glances.. Mr. Pluvius, the fellow who turns on the faucets, was being wished a safe journey to other climates and the path being made clear for Old Man Sunshine. A bright sun this morning helped dry out the track considerably. Intermittent showers Wednesday afternoon put a damper on affairs at the two-and-one-half mile brick oval and the best part of the afternoon was spent around the garages. Late In the afternoon the track dried up and several of the boys wheeled their mounts out for a few practice laps. Cliff Durant pulled his Millermotored “Play-Boy” on the track and went around for quite a while —just for exercise. Cliff will pilot Tommy Milton’s Detroit Special in the big race and merely is getting in trim with his own car. Tony Gulotta had his Stutz Black Hawk on the course for a few low-speed laps. The car which was entered by the late Frank Lockhart is a trim, white machine of the conventional rear-drive type, Gulotta’s car is No. 8. H. Kohlert, who was in a bad smash-up in last year’s race, was out with his Elgin Piston Pin Special. Kohlert was winding his bus up at a nice speed late in the day. Herman Schurch, a coast youngster, who will drive M. R. Dodd’s Sievers Junior Eight, was out for a while and got an “oil bath” when a cap came loose and sprayed the youthful driver. Lou Schneider, who will drive a Miller Special, was busy in his gar-

Wallace to Box Veteran Toledo Mauler Tuesday Joe Lohman, Toledo veteran light heavyweight, will meet Roy Wallace, local favorite, in the main event of ten rounds at the Pennsy Gym Tuesday night, May 22. The gym has been rented Monday night for a dance, making it necessary to stage the boxing Tuesday. Lohman is well known to local fans, as he has boxed Chuck Wiggins, George Mulholland and Johnnie Risko here. He is one of the ring’s old-timers. Wallace beat Lohman on points in a slugging match during one of the Armory shows. Jackie Reynolds of Muncie will meet Jackie Purvis of Kokomo in an eight-round bout Tuesday. Tracey Cox, who knocked out Whitie Clark of Cincinnati last Monday night in forty seconds, will appear in a top six-round preliminary with Kid Woods of this city.

Jus\ a little reminder to the fans thta it will take some pretty rapid traveling o land in row No. i in the qualification trials is seen in the review of the positions last year. Lockhart held down the pole with an average speed of 120.100 for the four-lap qualification trial. It is just about a cinch proposition that a speed of approximately ninety-five miles ‘per” will be the lowest qualifying gait. The only two pilots who have shown any remarkable speed in early workouts have been Leon Duray and Cliff Bergere. Duray jockeyed his mount around the speedway at a 120-mile-an-hour rate while Bergere ran his trim-looking Miller up to about 119. Bergere is one of the most promising young pilots at the track right now. He already has demonstrated his “heavy-foot” tactics.
