Jlu United Press MILES CITY, Mont., May 23. Lost: The community of Linniberton; last seen on the Milwaukee railroad line in 1910. If found please notify W. N. Ross, district freight and passenger agent of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad. Officials of the railroad are curious about this illusory lost hamlet which, apparently, was located on the Milwaukee line somewhere in Montana. In fact, they have pictures showing a group of Indians before a general merchandise store. But where is it now? Certainly it isn't on a map and nobody seems to know just where it was located or what happened to it? In short, it’s a ghost town worthy of the name, for its disappearance has been complete.

Bu United Press EL PASO, Tex., May 23.—Judge Ballard Goldwell of the thirty-fourth district court believes there would be less divorce if people would get acquainted before marriage. “Folks too often do not enter into marriage with the thoughtfulness and preparations that they once did,” Judge Goldwell said. “They meet, fall in love and rush into marriage without regard to the habits and characteristics of the person they marry.”

Cub Pennant Chances Fall; Hornsby Out Bu United Press CHICAGO, May 31.—Playing in hard luck all season, the Chicago Cubs today wondered where to obtain an infielder who can bolster them up enough oc get them into the running for the National League pennant. The Cubs received their severest blow of the season, when Rogers Hornsby, one of baseball’s greatest hitters, broke his ankle in sliding to third base Friday. The accident literally ruined the Cubs’ infield. There was hope that Hornsby could be back into the game w r ithin six weeks, but there was no certainty of it. Hornsby’s injury hurt the Cubs all the more inasmuch as Hal Carlson, a regular pitcher, died suddenly Wednesday morning.

Hoyt, Koenig Go to Tigers for Carroll, Rice and Westling — Shawkey Completes Most Important Deal Yankees Have Made in Many Years in Attempt to Bolster Ciub, Now in Third Place. BY FRANK GETTY United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, May 31.—80 b Shawkey, who once waved his red sleeved arm so effectively as a pitcher for the New York Yankees when they were practically invincible In the baseball world, has just completed the most Important deal the club has made in many years in his new capacity as .manager. The Yankees today will send Waite Hoyt, for ten years their star righthander, ana Mark Koenig, veteran shortstop, to the Detroit Tigers, in exchange for Harry Rice, outfielder; Owen Carroll, pitcher, and
George Westling, shortstop. Not since the days when Colonel Ruppert and Cap Huston used to | trade players wholesale with Harry ! Frazee, then owner of the Boston j Red Sox, have the Yankees made such a major move to strengthen themselves for the American League race, in which they now stand third. Shawkey believes that in Carroll, former Holy Cross star, he is obtaining additional strength for his right handed pitching staff, Hoyt having proved none too effective this season. In Harry Rice, the Yankees get a badly needed outfielder and a left ! handed pinch hitter, while Westling may act as reserve infielder or may be used in a further trade. Koenig has been the regular Yankee shortstop for four seasons, barring a few months, and while he is known as an erratic fielder he is a consistent hitter, or was until Shawkey benched him in favor of Lynn Lary. Rice, as a hitter, is the superior of both Sam Byrd and Dusty Cooke, who have been alternating in left field for New York. He is hitting over .300 this season. Pickerd and Packo to Box at Harrison Ft. Harrison’s boxing season will get under way Tuesday night, June 10, with a double main go and Joe Packo, Toledo mauler, will clash with Walter Pickerd, local heavyweight k. o. artist, in one of the ten rounders, it was announced today by Capt.

ISAACS The new king of Speeddom, young Billy Arnold of Chicago, tried on the crown of victory today and smilingly tilted it on one side. It wasn’t anything like the football helmet he once wore for the University of Illinois, nor the stylish straw hats which dotted the throng at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Friday, where Billy led the pack for 500 miles in the Olympiad of Automobiles, the five-century American Grand Pix. To tell the story of 1930’s 500-mile race, one should say that Billy Arnold, driving Harry Hartz’ Miller-Hartz front-drive straight-eight, started at the pole position in the front row, trailed Louis Meyer for the first two laps and then whizzed out in front. It seemed that Billy liked the front-running position, for he stayed out there. At the end of a full 505 miles Billy coasted into the pits, clambered out of his mount and patted it as he would a baby. “She certainly ran grand,” he grinned.
It was a glorious triumph for Arnold in a race that was marred by seven accidents, one of which took the life of James Paul Marshall, a riding mechanic, and left his brother, Cy Marshall, driver, seriously injured. Seven others were injured. Smashups Start Early The race was not one lap old when Chester Gardner, driving a Buckeye Specie:, slapped into the inside retaining wall on the short south straightaway. Gardner and his mechanic were but slightly bruised, but the car was out of the race for good. Louis Meyer, 1928 winner of the big race, swept into the lead at the end of the first mile and roared over the timing tape for the first two laps, twenty-two seconds ahead of Arnold. In the back stretch, Arnold flashed by Meyer and took the lead on the third lap, staying in front and checking off SIOO prizes for each of the remaining 169 lr.ps for which prizes had been subscribed. Arnold never was threatened by competition, and he was given the checkered flag of victory a full four laps ahead of William (Shorty) Cantlon, the diminutive Detroit star, who took second honprs in the Mil-ler-Schofield Hi-Speed Special, a four-cylindered job. Mass Crackup Cuts Speed Arnold might have set anew record for the 500-mile grind but for the fact that a mass crackup on the short north straightaway forced officials to use the yellow flag of caution, slowing down the field and ordering them to retain their positions. Fred Roberts, piloting Peter De Paolo’s Duesenberg, went into a skid and five other cars following Roberts closely crashed into the wreckage. It was regarded as miraculous that drivers and mechanics escaped death. Marion Trexler in a Trexler Special, Lou Moore in a Coleman Special, Johnny Seymour in a Gauss FrontDrive, Babe Stapp in a Duesenberg, and Deacon Litz in a Duesenberg were those forced out in the mass wreck, the worst accident in the point of cars eliminated in the Speedway’s history. A few minutes later, Cy Marshall’s Duesenberg crashed into the

retaining wall on the northeast turn and leaped over the wall. Both Marshalls were in critical condition and rushed to the field hospital were Paul died at 12:20. Queried today, hospital attaches reported that Cy had a “pretty good night,” and was beginning to talk this morning. Asking how his accident occurred, he requested a newspaper, but this was denied. He has not jet been informed of his brother’s death. He was told Arnold won the race and nodded his head. His wife visited him Friday night and returned to the hospital this morning. Cy is an Indianapolis boy and his brother lived in Detroit where he left four children orphans. Prize Banquet Eonight Prizes and awards, amounting to more than $150,000, will be awarded at the banquet tonight in the Riley room of the Claypooi. Arnold and Hartz will draw down approximately $52,150. The first place Speedway priez is $20,000. Arnold won 169 of the 171 lap prizes, a total of $16,900, and in adidtion will draw’ down more than $15,000 In accessory prizes. A throng estimated at more than 160,000 shivered during the chill morning breezes and warmed up later as the sun roso high in the skies. A large blimp, the Goodyear Defender, floated lazily over the Speedway during the day, while tiny and large planes skimmed over the track at intervals. There were tiny high-speed Wacos, a large trimotored Fokker, and even a mammonth Amphibian. Thus ends the 1930 race, tragedy flirting in the return of the twoman car, and the lion’s share of the glory going to the victor. And it's just as Billy Arnold grinned when he discovered someone had stolen his roadster. “I wish I’d find that thief. I’d give, him the title to it.” COBB IS GOLF STAR Ty Cobb baseball immortal, broke 90 during his first month of golfing and at present consistently scores in the eighties.
