Speed Marks May Tumble in Qualifying Trials at Speedway Saturday

Opinion Is Divided as to Whether Leon Duray’s Records Will Stand: Deusenbergs Make Appearance on Track. RV NORMAN E. ISAAC S Tli'' '-.harp staccato roar of unmuffled racing motor-' will provide plea-san* mujic for thousands of fans at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Saturday afternoon, where fifteen cars are expected to whirl around the brick oval in their attempts to qualify for the annual 500-mile auto classic next Thursday. Thirty-three cars will start in the nistoric speed duel Decoration day and with forty-five rars officially entered, twelve will be- eliminated in the time triab which also will be heid Sunday. Monday and Tuesday will b< allowed those drivers unable to get their mounts ready for the tests.

Opinion is running rife as to whether the track and qualification records, set last year by Leon Duray. will fall before the assault of speed pilots. Duray set a one-lap mark of 124.018 miles an hour and a qualification record tfour laps) of 122 391 miles an hour. Duray this year will be at the v heel of a Packard Cable Special, a Miller-motored front drive job, and is the popular choice of many fins to shatter his own records. Boys C ut l oose With a bright sun acain shining over the track Thursday another horde of pilots wheeled their mounts on the bricks for some intensive practice laps. It was a busy after- ; noon and the speed lans received 1 plenty of action. The fastest gaits of the day were turned in by Petei De Paolo, the 1925 winner, and Billy Arnold, both of the Boyle Valve team, who j whizzed around the course at • speeds ranging from 100 to 115, miles an hour. ! De Paolo has the seat in one of j the two fi -drivi B< 1 and it is pleasant to see him back on the track. Pete knows the course and pilots his car around as if it were on rails. Tire biggest suprise of the day w as the appearance of the three-car Duesenberg team —at the same *imc ; It has been tradition for years at j the local speed plant that the Duesenbergs were put together in a hurry the day before the re e. qualified the morning of the race; and then go out and stand up with; the leaders for 500 miles. Smart Deusie Team The Deusenberg crew is a smart J outfit anti may place- high up in the race. Jimmy Gleason will be at the i wheel of one bus and the Philadelphian last, year displayed plenty of class in the manner in which he handled his car in the race last year. Bill Spence and Fred Winnai have j the seats in the other Deusies and are smart, capable pilots. Winnai and Gleason cut loose in spurts ■ Thursday, each hitting a clip of about lio miles per. Spruce was satisfied w ith century speed for most j of the afternoon. a tt a \ curious right at the track Thursday came w ben one of i-ouis Chitons mechanics made his appearance with a butcher knife and rommrnrrd peeling off the tread on the tires of Chitons He I.ago.

Washington Gets the Hits While Opposing Pastimers Get the Runs Figures Disclose Strange Dope on Hapless Senators: Many Contests Dropped by Single Marker.

BY WILLIAM J. DI NN United Press- Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. May 24 —Hits don't necessarily win ball games. That sounds a bit unorthodox, but the proof is found in the strange case of Walter Johnson's Washington Senators. The Senators are floundering in seventh position in the American League. Many reasons have been advanced for their failure, the most prominent being their supposed inability to clout the ball. A review of the twenty-nine games Washington has played disproves this theory. They have outhit their opponents 267 to 252. The secret seems to be the inability to hit when hits would mean runs. Washington has lost nineteen games this year, including the dou-ble-header dropped at Philadelphia Thursday. Eleven were by one run.

Tn five of the eleven games they i lost by that margin, the Senators outhit their opponents. During the first stage of the 1929 ! season the Senators played ten | games and lost seven. Only four I times, however, were they outhit. On their western trip they playec' eleven games. los ; ng five of then by the one-run margin and a sixtl by two runs. They were outhit onlj three times on the trip. Returning to the east, the Drifts lost six out of eight games, half oi | them by one run. and only three times have they been bested in the matter of base hits. The theory also lies been advanced that the Senators' pitching | staff has collapsed. Twenty-nine divided into 252 shows an average j of 8.5 plus hits a game that Washi ington pitchers have allowed—an i unusually low average for a pitching | staff on a seventh place team.

Indians Play Bucks After Hen Windup Finale Tilt at Toledo on Today: Tribe Wallops Ball Thursday. Pu 1 ' ' ini

TOLEDO. May 24.—With the series standing two games to one in favor of Toledo, the Indians and Hens were to wind up the set today with a fourth struggle and on Saturday the Tribesmen will perform in j Columbus, and Louisville will invade the local field. Heartened by their work with the bat Thursday, the Hoosiers had high hopes of squaring the series this afternoon, but there was much doubt about that because Ernie Wingard, ace of the Toledo staff, was slated to oppose them. Ken Penner was expected to get the Tribe mound call. Layne Gets Three Coming out of their hitting slump | with a flourish, the Betzelites poured j 1 the wood to the stuff the Hen hurl- ! ers tossed up Thursday and amassed j a total of eighteen hits, Herman Layne leading with three. And of : the eighteen safeties, six were ; doubles. Two Hen pitchers. Baecht | and Buckeye, were knocked out of the box and Lucas, the third flinger used. was slammed for ten bingles in 5 1-3 innings. And all the while Bill Burwell I baffled the Toledo pastimers and refused to allow a run until the ninth ! inning, when they got two. The score i was 8 to 2. Bill had perfect control I and didn't issue a walk. He had the i Hens pounding the sphere into the ! ground and the Indians had twentyi two assists, there being only two 1 putouts in the Tribe outfield, Mat- ! thews getting both. Lennie Metz had eight assists at shortstop, Connolly had six at second, and Gorman five at third. Monahan had one and Burwell two. Monahan had eighteen putouts at first base. The Indians played error- ; less ball despite the numerous ! ground balls handled. Indianapolis had fourteen left on bases, otherwise their run total would have been higher. Koenecke batted twice and then save way to Barnhart, which proved a good move. Barney came through with a single and double, driving in two runs. | Burwell figured in the Tribe attack with two singles and a sacrifice fly. It was a changed batting order that Mans r Betzel handed out for the Thursday fray. Metz was moved up to second, Connolly placed in the important fifth position, Sprinz sixth and Monahan was dropped to seventh. Gorman played third instead of Swanson and batted eighth. The Indians’ series at Columbus starting Saturday calls for five games.

Terre Haute, president of the state association of women golfers, was present and hung up the low medal score of 99. Miss Ruth White of Meridian Hills was low scorer on the five holes secretly selected from the eighteen and Mrs. C. W. Adams, also of Meridian Hills, was the best putter, using only 31 taps on the eighteen, holes. Mrs. Ora Harrell. Noblesville. who also plays at the Hill, took only 11 putts on nine holes, a very splendid achievement. 33 3 Coach George Naylor and his Shortridge golf team, fresh from an Mo 2 victory over Cathedral at Coffin course Thursday, boarded the rattlers for Louisville this morning where an afternoon of practice was to be Indulged In on the course where the local golfers will battle a team from Kentucky Military Institute Saturday. 33 3 IN DOWNING CATHEDRAL.
