f AYS mm PLAY THAT PUZZLES Why is it that batted 'balls, which apparently strike in fair territory in front of the batter and then strike him on the rebound as he is about to start to first, are invariably called foul balls? tt tt tt THE batter’s box is almost entirely within foul territory. When a batsman assumes the proper stance he is always in foul territory.

Ninety - nine times out of a hundred, a batted ball that strikes in front of the plate in fair territory and then rebounds sharply, striking the batsman as he is about to leave the batter’s box, comes into contact with his per-

Evans

gon in foul territory. When a batted ball strikes the batsman in foul territory it immediately becomes dead, is simply a foul ball. Confusion is caused by the fact that the batsman is hit with the ball as he starts to take his first step in the direction of first base. It is practically a physical impossibility for the one step to carry the batsman into fair territory. Often the ball strikes the batter before he has even a chance to make a break for first base.

De Paolo, Duray and Bergere Favorites as Tests Begin. TRACK OPEN SUNDAY Exciting Battle for 'Front Row’ Posts. BY NORMAN E. ISAACS Thousands of speed-mad automobile fans flocked to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway this afternoon where approximately fifteen or twenty drivers were to run through the first day of qualifying trials for tiie 500-mile motor grind next Wednesday. Thirty - three cars are being groomed for the Memorial day classic, and of that number about half were judged ready to attempt to place high up in the time tests. The three fastest qualifying cars today were to be awarded the “front row” positions, with the speediest at the “pole.” A thrilling and spectacular struggle was looked forward to between several of the motor jockeys and it was believed that the fight for the pole would be almost as impressive as last year’s qualification battle. Records Fall In ’27 In 1927 the late Frank Lockhart won the pole, only after breaking the four-lap trial mark and establishing anew lap record. Lockhart’s four-lap speed was 120.100 and his lap record was 120.198. Peter DePaolo, the 1925 winner, who also was among the favorites today for a front-row position, last year made a gallant bid for the honor, taking No. 2 post with an average time of 119.510 for his four laps. Leon Duray last year earned himself the place at No. 3 with a speed of 118.788. De Paolo, Duray and Cliff Bergere were the three top-heavy favorites today to tie up the foremost row. All three set fast paces in practice this year. Friday De Paolo wheeled his Flying Cloud Special onto the bricks and whizzed around the oval in 1:16 flat, a speed of 118.421 miles an hour. Duray Sensation Duray was the sensation throughout the two weeks of practice and was clocked right around 120 miles an hour several times. Bergere, who qualified a Miller last year at a 108.820 mile-an-hour gait, has been “bearing down” on the throttle and tore off one lap recently in 1:15.4, a speed of 118.52 miles an hour. De Paolo, Duray and Bergere all have front-wheel mounts, revealing a decided tendency among the speed demons to adopt that style of racing car. The track will be open on Sunday and the secor.3 day of qualification tests held. trials are to take place between 1 and 5 p. m., under the supervision of W. D. Edenburn, official representative of the A. A. A. All those qualifying Sunday will take their positions behind those taking the tests today regardless of their speed. Cars not taking the track either today or Sunday will be forced to make arrangements with Edenburn.

Earl De Vore, who will drive a Chromollte Special, also was expected to attempt to qualify today. De Vore was on the track for a good portion of Friday afternoon and was satisfied with speeds ranging between 100 and 105 miles an hour. Ralph Snowberger, the third Marmon pilot, was out for a short time and was another who planned to take the bricks this afternoon. Snowberger, a dirt and board track veteran, rides the bricks well and turned in one lap Friday at 1.22.4 (109 m. p. h.) Fred Comer, of the Boyle Valve team, was out warming up and cut loose a trifle on several laps. He was timed by stop watches at 1:21 (111 m. p. h.) Comer's Boyle is a front-drive job and he was doped to land well up In the trials. Cliff Woodbury, also of the Boyle team, had his front-drive creation on the track for a short time. Woodbury was expected to qualify today and was ranked as a real “dark horse.” Tony Gullotta. who also planned to take the tests today, was out breezing around Friday in his Stutz Special. It was one of the cars entered by Lockhart and regarded by the railbirds as having “canned dynamite” under the hood. Cliff Durant was out taking his daily workout in his own Miller front-drive as Tommy Milton was running around in the Detroit Special, Cliff’s mount in the Memorial Day race. Durant is among those figured on for Sunday’s trials. George Souders, the 1927 winner, was out warming up his State Auto Insurance Special. Souders hits a nice clip in the straightaways and was to try to Qualify today. Buddie Marr was out winding up his Cooke Special. Marr’s mount is a Miller rear-wheel job. Sam B- Ross was out in his Aranem Special jogging around at a 100-mile-an hour clip. The Aranem is a front drive bus. The Green Engineering Company’s Green Special was out on the track for a short time with Clarence Belt doing the piloting. Harry Nichols is slated for the driver’s seat in the race. Belt is a capable mechanic and if the car can be gotten into shape at all, Belt will do it. MODIFIED MARATHON Fifty Runners Compete in 15-Mile Run Through Washington. By United Press WASHINGTON, May 26.—Fifty runners were to start at neon toefej; on a fifteen-mile route through. Washington streets in the first annual modified marathon staged by the City Club. Among the field were aspirants for the two vacant positions on the United States Olympic marathon team. Favored to win was A1 (Whitey) Michelson of Portchester, Conn., who ran second to Joie Rt.y in the Long Beach twenty-six-mile marathon last Saturday.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

U. S. Netters Lead Chinese in Zone Play Hennessey and Lott Victorious in Davis Cup Matches. Si/ United Press KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 26. The United States Davis Cup team by their crushing defeat of China’s best players in the first singles matches, today appeared certain winners of the American zone semifinal tennis rounds. The easy victories of George Lott of Chicago and John Hennessey of Indianapolis, in Friday’s play made William T. Tilden and Junior Coen, Kansas City youth, heavy favorites to win their doubles match today. Tilden a,nd Coen were to meet Gordon Lum, Chinese captain and Paul Kong, the players who lost to Lott and Hennessey. Hennessey defeated Lum, 6-3, 6-1, and 6-0, and Lott vanquished Kong, 6-0, 6-0, 6-0. The Chinese players failed completely to show a brand of tennis that was of championship caliber. The United States team needs only one more victory in the present matches to be assured of meeting the winner of the Japan-Canada contests in the finals of the American zone competition. A victory for the Americans today would make playing of the final singles matches, scheduled for tomorrow, unnecessary. It was believed, however that the matches would be played, regardless of the outcome.

Among Favorites at Speedway

Leon Duray

One of the popular favorites today in the qualifying time trials at the motor speedway was Leon Duray, who was to pilot his Miller front-drive creation. Duray opened up in practice laps recently and whirled around the bricks at a 120-mile-an-h.our clip. It was believed by many ' that Duray would break the track record aided, of course, by favorable weather conditions.

Pyle Plans Rip-Roaring Time in New York Tonight as Derby Ends Andy Payne Almost Certain Winner of $25,000 Grand Prize; John Salo in Second Place.

By United Press PASSAIC, N. J., May 26.—New York’s proud sky line took on the appearance of a dollar sign today so far as one small group of sunbrowned, bewiskered and wearied men was concerned. The same proud skyline, reaching up across the river from the Jersey shore, was wound around in a way that it spelled rest for a complete group of fifty-five men, including the group that saw the dollar sign sticking out of the towering skyscrapers. For C. C. Pyle’s trans-continental derby was just about at an end. This afternoon fifty-five runners will jog over to Weehauken Ferry across to New York, pace up to Madison Square Garden and there end a more than 3,000-mile trip. Many are going to finish just for the glory’s sake and to help C. C. Pyle make a great big show in New York. But young curly haired Andy Payne, John Salo and a few others are going to run into Madison Square Garden to claim $48,500 that Pyle promised. Pyle is planning a rip-roaring old time in New York tonight. “I could have packed Yankee stadium,” he mentioned, just to indicate how New York is going to take to this big wind-up. This morning he moved his freaks

Speeding Toledo Hens Invade City for Four Battles With Indians Stengel’s Champs in Midst of Winning Streak; Boone Noses Out Ash in Friday Tilt.

Casey Stengel brought his Toledo Hens to the city today to engage the Indians in a round of four games, and local fandom expects to see some wild action at Washington Park. The Hens are in the midst of a winning streak and the Tribe is determined to halt the march of the 1927 A. A. champions. Bruno Betzel’s Hoosiers made it three out of four from the Senators by winning Friday, 2 to 1. Danny Boone and Kenneth Ash hooked up in a mound duel and the former got the breaks. Layne Scores Layne scored in the second inning on his single, Holke’s single and Connolly’s sacrifice fly.

Illinois, lowa and Ohio State Favored as Finals Are Run Off Western Conference Track and Field Meet in Last Stages —One Big Ten Record Shattered.

Bil United Press EVANSTON, 111., May 26—The Western Conference track and field championships reached the finals today, with Illinois, lowa and Ohio State the favorites to win the 1928 title.

—the sideshow he carried along as a counter attraction to the long distance runners—lnto New York, so they could be set up at Madison Square Garden. Mud spattered training cars were sent over, so the Garden crowd could look at them. When the runners arrive this evening, probably about 8:30 p. m., he will show them to the crowd individually and then send each one off on a 200-lap sprint. Incidentally, all of the runners are under contract to let the dapper Urbana (111.) promoter manage their affairs as soon as this race is over. Friday, John Salo led the pack in their run from SufTern, N. Y. It so happened Passaic was Salo’s home town and the crowd turned out in great numbers. However, winning the heat merely clinched second place for Salo because Payne holds a 16 hours 17 minutes and 35 seconds lead and only a broken leg or utter collapse could beat the Claremore, Okla., youth out of first place.

third. Spencer then stole second. Boone lined the sphere down near second base where Nicolai scooped it but was out of position to make a good throw and Layne scored. Two Senators Banished Horn and McCann were banished during the Friday tilt for disputing decisions, and Harris and , Schwab got int othe fray as subs. Rehg was reinstated by the Senators and played a fine game. Columbus had bad luck in the third inning when Horn and Ferrell doubled but no runs resulted. Horn started the inning with a two-base blow, and when Ferrell hit lustily to deep left, the former thought the drive would be caught and played it safe. Connolly tossed out Aesh, Leibold walked, Nicalai popped to Haney and McCann flied to Russell. The three runners were left stranded. Connolly and Matthews thrilled the fans with some brilliant plays that helped Boone get through the tight places.

The third outstanding performance was by George Simpson of Ohio State, who ran the 220-yard dash in 21 2-10 seconds to equal the Conference record set by Wilson of lowa in 1923. Illinois and lowa each qualified twenty-one men in the finals. Ohio State had 16, Michigan 10 and Wisconsin and Northwestern 7 each. Ohio State, Michigan and Northwestern's dash men took most of the honors in the sprint events, and appeared certain winners in the finals. Ten athletes qualified in each of the field events. Rhinehart. the star javelin hurler of Indiana, threw the lance twenty feet farther than any other contestant, making 200 feet. 6 inches. Simon of Illinois led in the broad jump, Hagerty of lowa in the discus and Lyon of Illinois in the shot put. No trials were held in the pole vault or high jump.
