SPEEDWAY IS BEE HIVE OF ACTIVITY AS TIME TRIALS NEAR

Arnold, Meyer, Cantlon and Duray Loom as Outstanding Candidates for Pole Position

Elimination Tests to Get Under Way Saturday Morning at 10; Paul Bost Whirls Over Bricks at 112-Mile-an-Hour Gait. BY NORMAN E. ISAACS ' Mercury, the legendary god of speed, will rule at the giant Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Saturday when qualification trials start to determine the opening lineup for the annual 500-mile Decoration day race here. With the first day of trials only two days away, the drivers and mechanics “stepped on it” today getting their mounts in trim for the speed tests. More actual speed will be 6hown in the trials—especially on Saturday— than in the race itself and probably 50,000 persons will gather at the track Saturday to watch the annual fight for the coveted pole position. The trials Saturday will start at 10 in the morning, but it is quite likely that the “fast boys” will not get on the bricks for their four-lap whirls until 2 or 3 in the afternoon, or perhaps later, when the wind, If any, has died down. Last year, Billy Arnold, Louis Meyer and Shorty Cantlon wound up with the front row positions in their grasp and the same three, plus Leon Duray, will wage the fight again this year. In 1930 the first two rows lined up like this and their qualification records were:

Shorty Cantlon and his Miller Special sixteen-cylindered creation gulled into town Wednesday and the car will be all set to go places and do things by Saturday. Harry Miller, dapper as ever, also arrived at the Speedway Wednesday and looked over the layout. He was well pleased with the way things are going and looked over his latest creation—the Cantlon job—with a great deal of Interest. nun nan For your information here’s how the big 500-mile gasoline derby wound up last year:

Gold, Glory Beefsteaks

Steve Hannagan, 500-mile race publicity director and contact chief for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, “threw” his annual party for news scribes Wednesday night, and the event developed into a house warming that nearly melted the table silver. Asa matter of fact, there was so much conservation that “Pop” Myers, Speedway general manager, was unable to get his speech over. At any rate, the event was a wow and set a speed mark for the fivecentury pilots to shoot at. Reared in Lafayette, Hannagan picked up the old swift in Indianapolis. Miami and New York, and he knows all the angles that go with tossing a beefsteak tanner.

Indianapolis being the largest city in the state and housing the most golf and country clubs, one would expect capital city players to predominate in state women’s golf circles. The new 1931 program of the Indiana Women's Golf Association discloses the local mashie wielders have made a commendable showing in the last nine official championships. The program is being sent to all members and clubs in the state by Mrs. Harrison M. Bennet of Highland, secretary, announcing the 'tenth annual state tourney at Avalon Country Club here on July 20-24. On Sept. 14, 1921, Mrs. P. G. Maple, then one of the lea4ing women in state golf affairs, imSted several players from over the state and acted as chairman at an organization meeting held at South Grove municipal links, where the Indiana Women’s Golf Association was formed. An eighteen-hole medal score tournament played in connection with that meeting was won by Mrs. H. D. Hammond of the old Highland Golf Club. Mrs. Hammond was elected president and the first annual tournament was held the next year at Lafayette Country Club. Information compiled from the year book covering the subsequent nine tournaments reveals that although Indianapolis women have won only three of the nine official championships, there have been five capital city players in the runner up position of the nine tournaments and twelve of the eighteen players who lost in the semi-finals of the nine championship affairs were from Indianapolis. Back in 1927, when the tournament was held at Ft. Wayne, the team from the Country Club there won the first team championship play. But at the next three tournaments Highland women have captured these honors. Four of the nine medalists have been from Indianapolis. Medalist winners of the qualifying round and their scores: In 1922. Mrs. Ben C. Stevenson. Highland. Indianapolis. 92: 1923. Mrs. Carl Gibbs. Indianapolis Country Club. 95: 1924. Miss Naomi Hull of KendallvUle •Mrs Robert Gipson). 96; 1925 Miss Hull. 93: 1926. Miss Hull. 87; 1937. Mrs. Scott Snvder. who won the championship in 1924 as Miss HUlis Dryer. 87. Playing as,Mrs. Robert Gipson in 1928, the former Miss Hull scored the lowest medal round of any of the cine tournaments when she shot an 85 ovar the difficult Terre Haute country e'.ub course.

Up in Air Net Queen Must Choose Between England and Hubby.

By United Press SAN FRANCISCO, May 21. When Helen Wills became Mrs. Frederic S Moody Jr., she declared married life would not interfere with her career in tennis, but hints of a conflict appeared today as she hesitated between going to England for the Wimbledon tournament and staying home with her husband. “I’d love to go—it would be splendid, and I want to go if I can arrange everything,” she said, “but to leave my husband, go sailing off on such a long and grand tour while he is staying at home, working hard —that makes it rather difficult for me to decide.” Since she desires to reach England in time for at least a week’s practice before entering the match play she must decide within a few days, she said.

Indians Swing Deal for Ray Fitzgerald Tribe Takes Over Right-Handed Hitting Outfielder From K. C. Blues; Berly Horne Shines in First Start as Hoosier Hurler. BY EDDIE ASH The search of the Indians for a right-handed hitting outfielder ended today when Secretary Bill Clauer “came up" with Ray Fitzgerald, obtained from the Kansas City Blues. The deal makes it two “Fitzs” for the Tribe with Howard Fitzgerald holding down the middle pasture.

The new Indian, Fitz, made a hit with Manager Johnny Corriden when the Hoosiers were in Kansas City, and the Tribe pilot recommended a trial for the youth when he learned the Blues had decided to retain their veterans in the garden posts. All clubs will be compelled to reduce rosters to twenty by June 1, and that’s the reason the way was paved for the Indians to land Fitzgerald. The new Indian played with Bridgeport of the Eastern League last year and batted .322. He was taken up by the New York Giants and used in a player deal with Cincinnati John McGraw placed a price tag of SB,OOO on the youngster, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer, and the Reds unloaded him to Kansas City. He is a stocky chap and Corriden believes that a little coaching will develop him into a reliable class double A pastimer. The entire crew of Tribe outfielders bat lefthanded and Pete Monahan, the lone utility player, also swings from the left side. In baseball business, therefore, there is much importance attached to the landing of a righthanded fly chaser.

300 Big Ten Track Stars Ready for Titular Carnival

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, May 21.—One of the’ most formidable collections of track and field performers in the history of the Western Conference, 300 strong, will assemble at Evanston Friday and Saturday for the Big Ten’s thirty-first annual outdoor athletic carnival. Michigan and Illinois have dominated Big Ten track and field events for the thirty years and once more are favorites to battle for the championship. Each holds eleven Big Ten championships, and since 1917, when Chicago won the title, no other school has been able to triumph. Last year, Michigan won, with Illinois second. Ohio State, Wisconsin or Indiana may spring a surprise by stepping in ahead of the two leaders. Keen competition is expected all along the line in the sixteen individual championships. Records are likely to fall in several events, barring adverse weather conditions. A dozen or more of the athletes

New Pitccher Goes Route and Indians Win

By Times Special LOUISVILLE, May 21.—Pilot Corriden of the Indians used his new pitcher, Berly Home, against the champion Colonels Wednesday and the right-hander from Jersey City went the route and won, 5 to 2, in ten innings. It was a thriller for the fans. It was unusual to see a Tribe hurler start and finish and after the game Corriden was in high spirits in spite of the fact errors by the Colonels helped his team to victory. It was the fifth and last fray of the series and the Hoosiers left Louisville for Toledo with two triumphs and three losses. The battle was close all the way until the tenth when the home nine weakened and the Tribesmen scored three unearned runs. Two men were erased when the damage happened. Herman booted McCann’s grounder and this break put the Indians on their way. Lind and Riddle singled and after a run down play that the Colonels failed to handle, Horne doubled. It was a great day for the new Tribe flinger. He pitched red hot ball and his one hit in five times up ruined the A. A. champions.

It was a torrid series and it was worth the money. The defeat Wednesday cut down the Colonels’ points and threw them Into a tie with St. Paul for the league lead, with Columbus close up. The games here previous to Wednesday were more or less a parade of pitchers and the series finale was a relief to Johnny Corriden. He could have used more runs on fourteen hits, but the baseball luck stayed with the Colonels until the tenth. McCann and Lind led the attack with three hits each and Horne’s double in the tenth was the lone extra base wallop of the day. Louisville battled hard for the game and used three hurlers, Deberry, Tincup and Weiland.
