John Hennessey Back in Davis Cup Tennis Action

GOLF CLUBHOUSE &.FAIR.WAY Sf ) jsy~~ 2)J DICKk. A PRINTED entry blank for the third annual Indianapolis Times interscholastic golf tournament at Coffin municipal links June 13, 14, 15 and 16 will appear in this column Saturday.

George Naylor. tt tt a The faculty managers will have each entrant sign a blanket list of entries and send them to the Editor of The Times Golf column. Individual entrants from grade schools are requested to have the school principa. sign the entry blank in ink and mail to The Timesl The principal must verify that the entrant has attended school in good standing until the close of the*present semester. The meet will be medal qualifying round of eighteen holes the first dav. From the qualifying scores three flights, one a championship flight and two consolation flights of thirty-two players each, will be formed. tt tt tt The first round of match play will be held the morning of the second day June Ul and the second round in the afternoon, eighteen holes each. Third and fourth rounds will be held on the third day, June 15. and the finals will be played June Hi. The final match in each flight will be thirty-six holes. tt tt tt tTAROLD McCLURE, course 1 manager at Coffin, is excited about the meet being held at his course. Harold has two reasons for his enthusiasm. Asa friend of the junior golfer, he wants everything in first class shape, and in following that policy will have the new bent green on the first hole open for the tournament. tt tt tt Then, too, Harold will have a close interest in the meet, for his son. Harold Junior, age 7. will compete as a player from Flackville school. Harold junior plays every day and turns in a very creditable game. He no doubt will be the youngest entrant in the meet, but The Times desires to help all youths gain tournament experience. If it is known that entrants, although very young, have been playing eighteen holes of golf in creditable scores, they will be allowed to enter the qualifying round. tt tt tt The Hoosier Athletic Club will hold its annual golf tournament and frolic at Riverside course June 9 and 10. E. B. Andrews, chairman of the arrangement committee, announced the meet as a blind par event with each player selecting his own handicap. Those assisting Andrews are Fred Asperger, W. C.

Two New Rules to Be Enforced at Speedway; Prizes Are Awarded Recheck Shows George Souders Among Lap Prize Winners; Louis Meyer Receives $28,500 in Cash.

BY NORMAN E. ISAACS Two new and important additions will be made to the rules governing the 1929 500-mile race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, according to Capt. Eddie V. Rickenbacker, president of the local corporation, who made a stirring address at the annual drivers’ dinner Thursday night at the Chamber of Commerce. “First,” said Ricenbacker, “when the yellow flag is shown, all cars must maintain their positions. In ether words, no driver will be permitted to take advantage of the flag and attempt to overtake the driver ahead of him. Failure to comply with this rule will invite disqualffication. To Pits After Accident “Second,” continued Rickenbacker, “hereafter when a car strikes the wall or has any collision whatsoever, the driver automatically will be expected to come to the pits for an investigation by the technical committee, no matter how slight the accident appears. Failure to heed this rule will mean being flagged off the course.” Louis Meyer, the South Gate. Cal., youth, drove his Miller Special to a spectacular victory in the Memorial day motor classic, was the recipient Thursday night of cash prizes totaling $28,500. In addition, he was awarded several cups and other prizes. Cutting the Melon Meyer received the grand Spcedwav prize of $20,000. Lou Moore, whose car finished second, received $10,000; George Souders. third, $5,000; Ray Keech, fourth. $3,500; Norman Batten, fifth. 53.300; Babe Stapp. sixth. $2,200; Billy Arnold, seventh. $1,800; Fred Frame, eighth, $1,600; Fred Comer, ninth, $1,500; Tony Gulotta, tenth, $1,400. A recheck of the official timing revealed a discrepancy in the work of the Speedway lap watchers, and showed a sample of the confusion in attempting to discover the leader, so closs was the 1928 struggle. Even the expert official dockers apparently were “lost” at times. Fifteen thousand dollars was subscribed in lap prize money, sufficient for the first 150 laps at the sum of SIOO a lap. Leon Duray garnered the big booty by carrying of! $5,900 for leading laps 1 to 54, inclusive, and 58 to 62, inclusive. Jimmy Gleason of Philadelphia, took down $5,600 for leading laps 79 to 82, inclusive, and 97 to 148, inclusive. Babe Stapp was the recipient of $1,700 for leading laps 55 to 57, inclusive, and 83 to 96, inclusive

Taylor of the Ethlyn Gas Corporation presented Henning with' a cup for himself as the machanic of the champion driver of 1927 and a cup for De Paolo.
