Breaking even in the twin bill with the Louisville Colonels at Washington Park Wednesday, the Indians lost points, but gained one place higher in.the league standing and went into second position, two games back of the leading Kansas City Blu.: The Betzelites were able to move up a notch on account of two defeats handed the Milwaukee Brewers by the K. C. crew. Series Finale Today The Tribe was to battle the Colonels again today, and on Friday the , Minneapolis Millers will be here for a series of struggles. The Indians annexed the first half of Wednesday’s double bill, 4 to 2, and lost the second tilt, 8 to 3, when held to five hits by Roy Wilkinson, who appears to have the Betzel pastimers dazzled this yei r, for he defeated them once before.

Burwell was batted hard by the visitors in the nightcap Wednesday, being solved for twelve hits in 7 1-3 innings, Boone again finishing.

A huge throng, estimated at more than 140,000, saw the youthful speed demon jockey his sturdy Miller Special over the complete 500-mile route, never once leaving his car to make way for a relief driver. Only One Stop To add to this courageous and remarkable performance Meyer was i lorced to make but one pit stop, and j then to refuel his car. The tri 1 umphant driver was in the “money” ■ all the way. holding ninth place at ; the 50-mile mark and gradually j forcing his way to the front as the race progressed. At the 100-mUe mark Meyer hao moved up to eighth position, but dropped back to ninth at 150 miles. As they roared over the line on the 200th mile, the Californian had maneuvered his Miller into fourth place. At the half-way post. Meyer had given way to George Souders, who had taken fourth, and Meyer running fifth. A wild ride the ensuing fifty miles left the South Gate pilot in second place, right on the heels of Jimmy Gleason in a Duesie. Holds Pace Well At 350 miles, the winner was running third, with Gleason and Gulotta waging a tremendous battle for the lead. At 400 and at 450 the positions were unchanged. Meyer was holding the pace well and was just a lap behind Gleason and Gulotta. Tony's Stutz Special, with Dutch Bauman at the wheel, ran out of gas on the back stretch and. Gleason’s Duesie developed mechanical trouble. It was then that the Californian dashed i* to the lead. Meyer went into the van on the 187th lap, the 467-miie mark. From then to the finish Meyer held the consistent pace which kept him almost a full lap ahead of Louis Schneider, who was driving Lou Moore’s Miller Special. Sunshine Follows Rain The day opened in disappointing manner and for a time it appeared that the race would be postoned Heavy clouds hung low- over the city and rain was falling in a steady downour. Shortly before race time, however, the clouds shunted off to the west, | the rain stopped and the sun was shining brightly. Fleecy c'ouds drifted lazi'y across the sky and the bright summer setting afforded a perfect racing day. Joe Dawson, accompanied by “Pop" Myers, led the field awaV from the starting line as Assistant Starter Seth Klein waved the red flag over the twenty-nine starting care at exactly 10 a. m. (C. S. TANARUS.) A minute and a half later the group swung out of the north turn, a mighty roar rising from the motors. Onray's D 177.1 ng Sneed Leon Durav, in his Miller frontdrive. was off to the lead, setting a terrific pace. At twenty-five miles Duray was first. Cliff Woodbury, in a Boyle-Velve front-drive, was second, and Gulotta, in a Stutz, third. Duray’s speed was 103.151 miles an hour. Duray continued to set the same tremendous clip and the miles slioped away as the burly leader led the nack around the course. At fifty miles Duray was first. Gulotta second and Stapp third. The speed was 107.078. Durav held his foot down and he whirled around the oval, first at 75 miles. 100 miles, 125 miles and 150 miles, Stapp. Gleason and Gulotta all battling to keep pace with the leader.

Gleason in Front Gleason in his Duesenberg sprang into the lead and was ahead at the 175-mile mark. 200 miles, and Stapp passed him and was traveling in front at 225. Gleason went back into the lead and was ahead at 250. 275, 300, 325, and then relinquished the advantage to Tony Gulotta. Gulotta led at 375 and at 400 it appeared as if Tony would be awarded the checkered flag when rain started to fall and the officials slowed down the race. Rain Stops, Crowd Roars It was a slow drizzle and the yellow flag was flashed, warning the drivers to slow down. It commenced raining harder and Seth Klein had the checkered flag in his hand, ready to award Gulotta the victory. A moment later the rain stopoed, the sun came out and a tremendous roar went up from the crowd as the red flag informed the drivers that the course was clear. Gulotta held his slight advantage and roared around the track, leading at 425 and 450 miles. At 475 miles Meyer was holding the lead and as each lap rolled by, the victory became more and more certain. Meyer rolled over the timing tape on his 200th lap in 5 hours, 1 minute. 33 seconds and 75-100, an average speed of 99.482. Ralph Snowberger, in his Marmon Special, was the flrst-amt of the Tace.

Captain Clark asked to be relieved of the matchmaking at the poot this Reason in order that he might take a long deferred vacation, but the military board of control unanimously voted that the vacation could be deferred another year. Bringing Bobby Williams here for the opening card looks like a happy choice of talent, for the 23-year-old New Yorker has made some wonderful showings at the Armory, having beaten Joe Packo and scoring a knockout on Billy Peterson, In another appearance here, Williams was outpointed by Jock Malone, but when it is considered that Williams has had but twentyseven fights in his whole career, his inability to solve Malone's will-o’-the-wisp style is not be wonddted at. Howard Bentz, the Milwaukee pug, who is to oppose Williams Tuesday, is rated highly in the record book. He is 22 and stands 5 feet 10 Vi inches.
