WE understand the Gary crowd is indignant because the tournament was awarded Indianapolis this year. The Gary players advance the argument they have the purse to guarantee, while the pros wi;l br* playing at the Speedway without purse. They forget, however, the Indianapolis pros have been traveling out of town since 1923. They forget the Speedway management has agreed to allow a gate admission. It is believed the field will be so much larger this year than it has been the past few years that the ultimate purse will be a.s much or more than it has been. .

ENTRY LIST FOR 500-MILE RACE REACH ES 48 CARS

More Mounts Slated to Try for Honors Arnold, Meyer, De Paolo and Corum Are Former Winners Ready to Strive for More Laurels: Starting Field Limited to Forty. BY NORMAN E. ISAACS. An even forty cars probably will pull away from the starting line at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on May all fighting for riches and fame that go to the victor at the end of the long 500-mile American Grand Prix. Forty-eight cars already have been nominated for the international motor derby, the entry list at Speedway office revealed today. Although the lists closed at midnight Friday, the total entries may reach sixty. An entry bearing a May 1 postmark will be accepted and the complete roster may reach sixty.

Because of an old-time racing superstition tnat the last car entered is the first car ’‘in,” the more superstitious of the pilots wage an annual battle to win the late entry honors. Forty cars will lie permitted to > start in the race, the same ruling j which prevailed last year. Only j thirty-eight were able to qualify in 1 1930, however. Thirty-five Pitots Named Os the forty-eight mounts entered, drivers have been named for thirtyfive of them. Outstanding among j the pilots, of course, is young Billy Arnold, the brilliant Chicagoan, who drove the Miller-Hartz Special to victory last May 30. Billy will drive the same job this year while Hartz has another car entered for which he has no driver nominated. Peter Dc Paolo, the 1925 winner, who holds the 500-mile mark of 101.13 miles-an-hour, will be at the steering wheel of a Boyle Valve Special, and Louis Meyer, the 1928 winner, will steer a Sampson Special, the same sixteen-cylindcred job he drove last year. Another noted driver back in harness is Leon Duray, undoubtedly the “heaviest-footed” man at the track. He holds the lap and qualification records at the speedway. Leon will do his stuff with a car entered by Cliff Durant. Shorty Cantlon, who finished second last year, will drive again for genial Bill White. Bill Cummings, the brilliant young Indianapolis boy, will drive an Empire State Special, and Louis Schneider, another local star, will wheel a Seal-Fast Special. Evans In Diesel Bound to draw some interest is the Diesel-engined Cummins car, which will be piloted by the veteran Dave Evans. Lora Corum of Indianapolis, cowinner with the late Joe Boyer in 1924, will drive the Stutz Bearcat, and such favorites as Russell Snowberger, Phil (Red) Shafer, Ralph Hepburn and Tony Gulotta will be back in action once again. All in all, it looks like another great speedway year, a year for some record making.

Harper Starts N. D. Duties By United Press SOUTH BEND, Ind., April 2. Jesse C. Harper, director of athletics at Notre Dame university again after a lapse of thirteen years, plunged into his work today as successor to the late Knute K. Rockne. “I plan to spend the first few days,” said Harper, “reading correspondence and listening.” Harper added the present coaching staff would remain as it is and that he did not plan to take any part in coaching the football squad. GARDEN TRACK OPEN t A large crowd is expected at Walnut Gardens Sunday for the opening races on the improved dirt oval. Twenty-eight pilots, including many wel-known stars, will compete in the three five-mile prelims and the fifteen-mile feature. A special event for women drivers also is on the card, with the first event starting at 2:30. TIGERS, SYCAMORES EVEN Fin Times Special GREENCASTLE, Ind., May 2. De Pauw and Indiana State broke even in competition here Friday, the Tiger golf team winning 154 to 24. while the Normal tennis squad scored a 6-to-3 triumph.

Joe Judge, Nats’ Star Under Knife By United Prctt BOSTON, May 2.—Joe Judge, veteran first baseman of the Washington Senators, who was operated on for acute appendicitis at Peter Bent Brigham hospital here Friday night, fell into a natural sleep after coming out of the anaesthetic and rested well, hospital autorities reported today. The operation, performed by Dr. Francis C. Newton, was described as successful. It was expected Judge would have to remain at the hospital for two weeks. The Senators have recalled first baseman Joe Kuhel from the Baltimore Orioles to replace Judge during his convalescence. Relay Teams Open Battle By United Press COLUMBUS, 0., May 2.-Ath-letes from all parts of the United States gathered here t-oday for the annual running of the Ohio relays.

A s Reach Championship Stride; Earnshaw Blanks Yanks

BY LEO H. PETERSEN United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, May 2.—Philadelphia Athletics, after a disastrous start, are beginning to show the form that brought them the world’s baseball championship in 1929 and 1930. With Jimmy Foxx back in the lineup and George Earnshaw in form, the Athletics’ “big five” has started to click. And when the “big five"—Grove, Cochrane, Simmons, Foxx and Earnshaw—is in form, the men of Connie Mack loom as about the best, assemblage of baseball players in the major leagues. Earnshaw turned in a three-hit performance as the Athletics shut out the New York Yankees, 4 to 0, Friday, For eight and two-thirds innings the big right hander allowed but one hit. In the ninth he eased up and was touched for two safe blows. George Pipgras, who has been inactive because of an operation, started his first game of the season and was touched for nine hits, including home runs by Cochrane and Haas. Cleveland Indians, although defeated. 4 to 2, by Detroit, continued to set the pace in the American League. Sullivan allowed the Indians but seven hits, while his mates were bunching the same number of blows off Mel Harder

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Klein Stronger TKan Ruth, More Natural Hitte r Than HornsKy, Manager Asserts

Editor's Note—This is the Ust of a series of three articles on the remarkable baseball adventures of Chuck Klein, Philadelphia slugger, vbo in three years has developed from a S2OO busher to one of the most valuable players in the big leagues. BV WILLIAM BRAUCHER, N’EA Service Sports Editor. PHILADELPHIA, May 2.—Somewhere along the line in his four I years of professional baseball, Chuck Klein was nicknamed “the Power- ! house.” And why not? j When the six-foot Chuck swings ; his 185 pounds of mill-hardened ; sinew and muscle, concentrated in j the terrific “cut” of a 38-ounce bat. ! you get an idea of well-directed power like that expressed by the whirring dynamo in an electric plant. The Philly slugger takes the bat at the end of the handle in a pair of huge hands that grip like the steel he used to toil with. The handle disappears. “He swings with wrists and with a back that is stronger than Babe Ruth's,” says his manager, Burt Shotton, “and I think he has a more natural batting eye than Hornsby.” # n CHUCK himself says he got that back pulling weeds on the farm 1 as a boy, and his back and wrists were developed during his four years of labor in the steel mills. He has a fine sense of timing. Klein says himself that he wants to see the ball only during the last ten feet of its flight to direct his swing or to pass it up. He swing quickly, nearly as quickly as a “chop hitter,” and there is hardly any effort expressed in the movement. It looks easy. Many of Klein's home runs, of course, are made in the Phil’s park, which has a short right, field fence. Klein admits he aims his drives in that direction. “Why not?” he asked me once. “If I can hit ’em over that wall, is there any reason to try to hit to left field? Besides, I've made plenty of home runs in the Giants’, Pirates’ and Cubs’ parks. In Philadelphia I made a lot of two-base hits one season that would have been homers in any of those other parks. They hit the wall in Philly! on a line, just as they were starting ! to get going. The drive and carry' would have meant homers in any ■of those other parks. “There's quite a lot of luck in a ! homer. I’ve hit singles that had just as much wood behind them as a home run. Homers are not much more than long flies, after all. Give them the lift and punch and they ride. “If you catch a ball squarely, about six inches from the end of the bat, and put enough body be-

BY DIXON STEWART United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, May 2.—With rookie players starting to slump and veteran sluggers getting away to their customary slow start, youthful stars are setting the major league batting pace. Official averaged, including the games of Friday, as compiled by al Munro Elias, major league statistician, show Dale Alexander, Detroit first baseman, topping the Amoiican League with a percentage of .491 and Virgil Davis, PhiladelDhia catcher, heading the National League at .486. Alexander, one of the American League's budding stars, has pounded out twenty-seven hits, including eight doubles, a triple and a home run in fifty-seven times at bat and is leading the circuit in hitting, base hits and doubles. Davis, who has shown steady improvement since he started his major league career with St. Louis in 1928, has hit safely seventeen times in thirty-two attempts, to win the National League lead and also tops the league in doubles with six. Wallie Roettger, Cincinnati outfielder. Ernest Lombardi, rookie Brooklyn catcher and Rogers Hornsby, manager of the Chicago Cubs are runners up in the National League with averages of .429. .412 and .409 respectively while Al Van Camp, Boston’s rookie outfielder; Charley Berry, Boston catcher, and Roy Spencer, Washington catcher, are trailing Alexander with marks of .474, .429 and .415.

Chuck often has been accused of “putting his foot in the bucket”— the trade term for drawing back the foot nearest the pitcher—but he has an explanation for that. too. “I swing clear around,” he said, "and maybe it does look as if I kick the bucket with my right foot.

“Now he’s got the confidence against southpaws that he lacked when he came up. He cuts into them with the same free and easy swing that he uses against righthanders.” I asked Burt about his fielding. “You see where he's playing out there, don’t you?” was the reply. (Klein was shifted from right field to center this year). "I wouldn’t have him out there in the middle if he couldn't go get ’em. He was only a fair fielder when he came to the team, but he has learned faster than anybody I ever played or worked with.”

counted for most of the New York scoring. Brooklyn’s Robins turned in their second straight victory over the Philadelphia Phillies, 8 to 4, driving 1 Phil Collins to cover. It marked the first time this season Brooklyn has won two in a row. Joe Shaute held Philadelphia to nine scattered hits in turning in his second victory of the year. Four successive bases on balls after two men were out in the eleventh inning gave the Pittsburgh Pirates a 5 to 4 victory over Cincinnati. Owen Carroll, w r ho went into the game in the ninth inning, held the Pirates safe until he developed the streak of wildness in the eleventh.

Tribe Easy for Saints Indian Pitchers Collapse Before Attack: Millers Next on Trip. By Times Special ST. PAUL, May 2.—Johnny Corriden's hapless Indians, defeated three times in a row out at Lexington park, were to make their final seiies appearance today against the Saints and on Sunday the Tribesmen will open anew set of battles across the River in Minneapolis. The Hoosiers are scheduled for four tilts with the Millers. It was a May day uprising at the local ball lot Friday with the Apostles finishing on his long end of a 13-to-9 score, total hits being thirty-two. The Saints collected eighteen blows and the Indian fourteen, the winners using two pitchers and the losers four. Indianapolis hurling was poor, Oral Hildebrand, the starting flinger, taking it on the chin in the second inning. Other Tribe throwers were Smith, L. Barnhart and Hall. John Prudhomme lasted on the Apostle mound until the ninth, when he was relieved by Bream Leading the attack against the Comdenites was Joe Morrissey, formerly of Evansville, with five consecutive hits, including a home run. He bats eighth, but will be rewarded with a more distinguished position in the lineup if he continues that kind of clubbing. Harold Anderson also was prominent with four safeties in six efforts. McCann. Montague, Narlesky and Angley each collected three wallops for the Tribesmen, one of McCann s blows going over the fence. A six•un rally by the Saints in the fourth stanza ruined the afternoon for Indianapolis, eleven Saints batting. However, the Hoosiers kept fighting and went down hard, as the score will show, five Tribe runs being registered in the last three innings. The horseshoes were with Prudhomme. He walked eight men and got away with it. Three of his passes were given to Curt Walker.
