Ervast Disappoints in Trial Purse; May Not Start in Turf Classic

Penner Due for Test on Tribe Mound Indians in Third Fray With Mauling Millers: Shirley Shines. B ) Tim'- bx-" MINNEAPOLIS May 15.—Third game of the Indian-Miller series today ahd the outlook was that Ken Penner would do the hurling for the visitors and Rube Benton for the home pastimers The series will be brought to a close Thursday v>d the Betzelites will bear, it for home to stay Friday night before proceeding to Louisville Saturday for a double header Sunday. The Tribe will not see action Friday and Saturday. The fracas here was a slaughter. Minneapolis winning 14 to 2, and three Tribe hurlers. Teachout. Skidmore and Boone were punched dizzy. Sixteen hits were poled by the Kelt three being home run 6 and four doubles. Mule Shirley, first sacker, got four safeties in a row and drew a walk for a perfect day. Homers Off Teaehout Bud Teaehout was bombarded for three home runs in the first two innings, the one by Emmer being over the center field fence, and many fans believe it was the longest drive in the history of Nicolet park. Skidmore relieved Teaehout and he went until the fifth before the Millers hopped on him for a flock of hits and runs. Danny Boone was the third Indian flinger to see duty —and he saw plenty. Flint Rhem, former Cardinal, held the Hoosiers to seven hits, which is about as many as they ever get with their weak-batting roster. Koenecke was the only Indian to get more than one bingle. Swanson at Third With Shortstop Warstler out of action indefinitely with a badly spiked leg. Metz was shifted to short Tuesday and young Swanson was stationed at third. The Betzelites played errorless ball in the field, but the fact was overlooked generally in the face of the manner in which the Millers clubbed the hersehide. Tne Indians appear to need at least three new pitchers.

Stock of Windy City Mounts With Victory in Mile Race. LONG'S COLT SEVENTH Blue Larkspur Goes Route Through Mud.

Bn In it'll Press LOUISVILLE. Ky.. May 15.—The Derby stock of four thoroughbreds— Windy City, Paraphrase. Port Harlem and Naishapur—was considerably higher today as a result of a blanket finish in Tuesday’s trial purse over the mile route at Churchill Downs. Windy City, Fred M- Grabner’s western colt, won the race in the splendid time of 1:42 1-5 over a track three inches aeep in slush, but Naishapur, the far western representative, which finished fourth was a length and a half behind. In between were Hal Price Headley’s Paraphrase in second place and Martin Finn's filly, Port Harlem, in third place. These four candidates are almost certain to start in the Kentucky Derby Saturday. Baron Long's Ervast. which created a sensation at Tia Juana last winter, finished in seventh place Tuesday and it seemed doubtful if the California colt would start Saturday. Colonel E. R. Bradley’s Blue Larkspur. favored at 3 to 1, demonstrated in a trial workout Tuesday that he can gallop in heavy going by negotiating the Derby distance of a mile and a quarter in the good time of 2:13 3-5 carrying fuli weight and breezing in a driving rain. The following odds were quoted here today on the leading Derby candidates: Blur Larkspur 3 to X Clyde Van Dusen 5 to 1 Naishapur 8 to 1 i Voltes r 12 to 1 Windy City 20 to 1 ; Minotaur 30 to 1 j

Hagen Again Cracks Par Walter Five Strokes Ahead of Golf Field. By T nitrd Pres" Moortown, Eng.. May 15.—The inevitable Walter Hagen who Tuesday set a course record with a 69 on the Moortown links virtually clinched qualifying honors for the Yorkshire Evening News thousand guineas tournament here, with an excellent 70 today, one stroke under par. His total of 139 left him with a five stroke lead over that part of the field already in and those still playing were conceded little chance of catching the newly crowned British open champion. Ed Dudley, another American Ryder cup star, qualified for match play by combining a 76 with his 73 of Tuesday for a 149 total. George Duncan, veteran Briton, was one of the few to better his performance of Tuesday. He added a 72 today, 38 out and 34 home, to his 74 of Tuesday for a total of 146. Horton Smith, Joplin, Mo., professional and infant of the United States Ryder cup team, finished the qualifying round with a total of 152.

JUST A HORSE RACE ASIDE from the tremendous amount of ‘‘color” worked up over the Kentucky Derby because of its historic connections and background, it is, after all, just a horse race, and winners of the past are forgotten as the turf fans mill and perspire and get jostled and stepped on in the big crowd. Old Derby days were the best, and don't; let anybody convince you otherwise. Ask the old-tiiners.

HEY! WHO’S LEADING? Every year a flock of figures on past classics are printed, the advance dope runs along in about the same channels, the guessers guess, weather is discussed, there are no rooms to be had in Louisville, perhaps you will eat and perhaps you wont, fallen arches will fall lower, "society will be present in force,” the wealthy and influential will get the choice seats and have most of the fun away from the jostling multitude, but oh, well, maybe it’s worth the punishment if you're a tall guy and able to get a couple of glimpses of the horsies as they parade before the stand.

ONE FILLY WINNER THE only filly ever to win the Derby was Harry Payne Whitney's Regret. She won in 1915. The distance is a mile and a quarter and the winner will get more than $50,000. a is ts The event will be broadcast by the Columbia radio chain and you can hear it over WRBM. And The Times Pink will have all the details Saturday. tt ts tt MR. COOKE AGAIN AL SOTHORON'S Colonels "acted up” Tuesday and forced St. Paul to go eleven innings to win. Cooke and Chapman of the Apostles clouted home runs. Slim Harriss was the Saint twirler. a a a Kansas City had an easy time with Columbus with George Murray pitching and his mates in batting form. Knothe got four safeties. tt B 3 MULE HAS KICK MULE SHIRLEY lost out in the majors because it is said he was a flat tire up there against curve ball pitching. If that is true, some of the Tribe pitchers need to go back of the barn and experiment.

Firestone to Referee Big Speed Event Famous Tire Builder Honored: Many Cars Expected on Track. BY NORMAN ISAACS Harvey S. Firestone, world famous tire builder, today was named referee of the international 500-mile race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. May 30. Firestone long has been associated with the speed sport. Other prominent figures who have refereed the historic due! of speed cars include Henry Ford. Arthur Brisbane, Charles Schwab and Lawrence P Fisher. Firestone will view the classic event from the topmost floor of the press pagoda. The referee is the final court of appeal. All disputes and protests are referred to him. A number of speed chariots were expected to take to the bricks this afternoon after being hemmed in tor two days by heavy rains. Many ci the cars are in good shape and some fast whirls around the oval 3.1 e about due. Louis Meyer wheeled his mount onto the track late Tuesday afternoon for a few laps around the course at easy speeds. Louis Chiron, the French ace, rapidly is getting acquainted with the course and will be quite familiar with the track when qualification days roll around. Louis may show the boys some nice speed. WILLIAMS lOWA COACH By united, Press lOWA CITY, la., May 15.—Roland F. Williams has been named head basketball coach at the University of lowa. Williams, assistant coach for five years, succeeds Justin (Sam) LI. Barry, who resigned to accept a similar position at the University of Southern California.

Bob Fothergill was in the lead, and after him came Harry Heilman. Then Prudhpmme, Barnes and Dale Alexander came in order. Leo Durocher was watching them come out, and when Alexander waved his 6 feet 3 in front of the stands, Leo yelled over to Bucky Harris: “Hey. Bucky,” he shouted, “I thought you was managing a ball club. I didn't know you were running a her dos trained e’enhants.’’

“Boy, look at those six footers.” Earl Combs piped up. “I never saw so many big fellows in my life.” “Yeh,” says Herbie Pennock, “the hockies may net be so good this | year, but certainly are big.” j Herbie was right, too. The one I thing that has impressed me on our swing around the circuit is the size of the young ball players. I’ve never seen so many big kids in my life—and I'm not so small myself. It seems as if all the little guys are being weeded out and only the six footers are left. Take the Yankees for instanceWe’ve got fourteen men that are six feet tall or more. And were just one of eight clubs that runs to big fellows. The-Browns have a big fellow named Kimsey. a pitcher, who must be six feet three, if he's an I inch. And big in all directions, too. i The Tigers have no less than twelve | six footers and the White Six have ; nine of them. Cleveland has ten or ; more and the Browns a half dozen ! others. I guess the Athletics are the smallest team in the league, on the | average, even though there's nothj ing little about Bob Grove, Rube , Walberg and Earnshaw. Anyhow, it got the boys to talking j and the result was that there on the bench we doped out a tall mans 1 team that ought to be a wow. Here it is—Catcher, Dickey. 6 feet 3 inches; pitchers, Walburg 6 feet 3 inches: Grove, 6 feet 1 inch; Underhill. 6 feet 2 inches: Kimsey. 6 feet 3 inches; Burke. 6 feet 3 inches. First base, Alexander, 1 6 feet 3 inches. Second base. Gehringer. 6 feet. Shortstop, Kress, 6 feet. Third base. Koenig 5 feet 11 ; inches. Outfield, Meusel, 6 feet 3 i inches: Schulte. 6 feet. 1 inch, and myself. 6 feet 2 inches. That would be a pretty lengthy ball club, anyway you figure it. And after that one was brought 1 together maybe we might arrange a game with the ‘Shortvs.” The shortest club probably would have Benny Bengough. catching: Joe Judge at first base. Bill Cissell at second, Jackey Tavener at short. Buddy Myer at third and Elias Funk, Alex Metzler and Walter French in the outfield. The shorties would be up against it for pitchers, though. Since £)inty Gearin and Dickey Kerr got out of the major leagues there aren’t many little pitchers left. I guess .Myles Thomas of the Yankees is one of the smallest, and Myles is a pretty husky lad.
