Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS—

NEW YORK, May 25.—Speaking of baseball: When the American League brass hats gather In Cleveland on Wednesday, they will name William Harridge president succeeding the late E. S. Barnard .. . Harridge never played ball, never owned a ball club, and never wrote baseball . . . but he’s a capable detail man, a perfect rubber stamp executive, and that's what the job calls for these days. a a a Those A’s are going to be hard to beat . . They figured to win trom the start . . Even Connie Mack Is having a difflcult time trying to conceal his optimism . . And you know how the old gentleman haa always been about championships . . . Come around In late September and he will talk to you . . . The A’s made It fifteen straight against the Yanks Sunday, and they played with that dash and cockiness you always find in winning combinations. . . . A1 Simmons is probably the best player in the business today, taking him from any angle ... He can go and get that ball with the best of them, he can throw, he can run the bases, he knows what It is all about, and he’s the most dangerous batter In the majors . . . Sunday was the twenty-first successive game In which he hit safely. . . His average for this spurt is above .506. . . It’s r.o surprise to find that ho Is leading the league in hitting. a a a This Buzz Arlett of the Phillies is another dangerous batter. . . He likes a high ball but the pitchers tell me he is liable to murder any kind of a pitch. , . He leads the league in homers with ten and he's pretty sure to be up there elope to the top all season. . . Some of the boys are calling him the best rookie in the National League. . . The truth is Arlett is an old timer. . . He was a star for years out In the Coast League. . . He s In his middle thirties. a a a That was a tough game Fitzsimmons the Fat dropped to the Braves Sunday. . . Fitz Is pitching the best ball of his career this season. . . The new raised seam ball may have something to do with this, but the chief factor Is that he Is concealing his delivery better. . . In seasons past you could always teil when Fat the Fitz was going to throw his knuckler. .. Knowing what to expect the boys just laid back ana waited for it. a a a Young Joe Vosmik of the Indians Is making the experts who wrote him aown as a spring Hash look bad. . . Reinstated as a regular, the sand lot graduate picked up where he started at the beginning of the season and he is slamming the ball all over the landscape. .. . “Vosmik looked like the real stuff against us,’’ Eddie Collins of the A’s said Sunday. . . “He has a nice stance at the plate and takes a good cut at the ball. . . We couldn’t get him out.”. . . The young man is hitting 342, and that Is not half bad. a a a The Braves come to town Tuesday and with them Ed "'Brandt, unbeaten so far, with seven victories and more strikeouts than any other pitcher in the league. . . Already the Boston Star has won almost twice as many games as he won all last season, which was a total of four. . . At that he pitched well enough to have ranked higher. . . One of the games he , dropped was a two-hltter. and when you drop a two-hitter vou aren’t getting the breaks. . . Brandt is a left-hander with great speed. . . He’d be a 5100,000 pitcher on anybody's staff.

THRILLS GALORE GIVEN FANS AT SPEEDWAY OVAL

Arnold Sets Fastest Pace But Loses Pole

1930 Winner Disqualified After Speedy Trial Saturday, but Qualifies Sunday With Higher Mark; Snow* berger, Cummings and Bost in First Row. BY NORMAN E. ISAACS Thrilis and action are being dished out at the giant Indianapolis ruotor speedway these days and many more railbirds were expected at the track this afternoon to watch the continuation of qualifying trials to determine the starting lineup for the 500-mile race next Saurday. Already six rows have been •filled up and one car is in the seventh row. An even dozen more were expected to take their tests today starting at 2 o’clock and ending at 7:02. Russell Snowberger, the Philadelphia speed artist, who finished fourth in the A. A. A. championship standings last year, will be at the pole position, the result of qualifying Saturday at a 112.796 mile-an-hour gait. Bill Cummings and Paul Bost, both in Empire State Specials, Bill in a front-drive and Paul in a conventional rear-drive type, will sit in the other front row positions.

Billy Arnold, 1930 king of American race tracks and last year’s 500-mile winner, "won” the pole position as dusk was falling Saturday evening. Billy sped around the oval for four laps at an average speed of 113.848 miles an hour ar.d thousands of persons left the Speedway convinced Arnold again would be on the inside rail.. Arnold Loses Pole The later news that Arnold’s run had been declared void because he could not pass the A. A. A. brake test came as a stunning surprise. Billy took his trial over again Sunday and qualified his car at a speed of 116.030 miles an hour, the fastest speed of the qualifications. The delay, however, cost heavily and Billy will be seated in the third position in the sixth row, right alongside the Diesel. For thousands the Cummins Diesel was the real sensation of Saturday's trials, despite Louis Meyer’s afternoon crash and thousands Sunday were looking for the Diesel. It was back in Columbus, Ind., however, and will make its appearance later in the week. The Diesel would have qualified had it made a speed of only eighty miles an hour. Dave Evans, its 1 veteran pilot, conferred with Clessie j L. Cummins, its builder and owner,' before the trial and both decided 1 that despite the stiff wind sweeping j down the backstretch, the car should be the first to take its tests. So at seven minutes after 10 a. m., Dave and the Diesel roared away. It warmed up at a speed of 80, then followed it with a lap of 86, and came down the straightaway at 93, Dave raising nis hand as a signal he was going.

Qualifies at 93 He clicked off the first official lap at 96.577 miles an hour, the second at 96.267 miles an hour, the third at 97.213 miles an hour, and the fourth at 96.871 miles an hour, a total average speed of 96.871 miles an hour. There is little doubt but that the oil eater could have made 100 miles an hour had it not been handicapped by the wind. The oil burner will be more than a sensation in the race. It should be the outstanding car. The heavy, white car probably will find its groove somewhere around the lower end of- the track, and Dave will drive away at 93 to 95 miles an hour, worrying about nobody and worrying nobody. And should it manage to finish the five century at that speed it will be high in the lists of the money winners. a a a Bill Cummines, the Indianapolis star, brought cheers from the huge crowd early Saturday when he started his qualification and clicked off a first-lap speed of 115 miles an hour. He came in, however, with a supping clutch and retired for several hours. When he took the track again he seemed satisfied with 113. a a a In the second row will be burly Deacon . Litz in Hank Maley’s Duesenberg, Ernie Triplett in the Buckeye-Duesenberg, and Babe Stapp in the Rigling and Henning Duesenberg. All three turned in fast qualifying speeds and the cars look to be in tip-top shape. a a a In the third row are W, H. (Speed! Gardner, in the Nutmeg State Special, Fred Frame in the Hartz-Duesenberg, and Stubby Stubblefield in the Jones-Milier Special. a a a The fourth row has the veteran Ralph Hepburn, in a Harry Miller Special. Phil Pardee in a Duesenberg entry, and Luther Johnson anew iad. In the Richards Spefil 1 - The fith row has Louis Schneider, the ex-Indianapohs motorcycle coo, in a Bowes Seal-Fast. Cliff Bargere in the Reomotored Elco Royale. and Chet Miller in a Marr. Special. a a a In the sixth row are Joe Russo, who gave the fans an exhibition, of his blindfold driving skill Sunday. Dave Evans in the Diesel and Bill* Arnold. Then in the seventh row is Tony Gulotta in a Hunt Special. Tony passed up his seat in the Bowes SealrFast and Fred W’innai will drive it. a a a The two crashes at the Speedway over the week-end provided excitement.' The one Saturday occurred as Louis Meyer was starting on his first lap of his qualification run. Up went his hand as he came roaring down the stretch and he was given the green flag. He xvhipped into the south turn and there he found his foot caught between the accelerator pedal and the transmission. He fought the car desperately but 139 miles an hour is too stiff to take a turn. The machine kissed the wall and bounced off. Fortuntelv Louis managed to straighten it out and he coasted down the backstretch and home. The frame was jolted six inches out of line and the car was taken downtown for immediate repairs so that it could qualify this week. Louis wasn’t hurt. a a a Sunday’s accident to the De Blase Special supplied some real excitement. The first bint came with a wisp of smoke and the cry “cracltup” from the north turn. Sparky Sparks had hit the wall, something bad split and the car was in flames. The fire eating squad was on its way. but by the time the blaze was extinguished the car was damaged beyond repair.

Tribe Faces Soaring Birds in Four Tilts Indians Invade Camp of Speeding Columbus Team; Wild Struggle in Toledo Sunday Is Taken by Hoosiers, 16-15, In Ten Innings. By Timet Special COLUMBUS, 0., May 25.—From lowly Senators to speeding Red Birds is a far cry, but Nemo Leibold’s Columbus A. A. pastimers have made the leap and they were* to give Johnny Corriden’s Indians a taste of theism today in the opener of a four-game series at Neil park Th Birds* running a close second to the league-leading Saints, will be' meeting the Hoosiers for the first time this season.

The Indians came over from Toledo where they lost two out cf three to the Hens in a wild series, and were tied for the bottom with the Stengelites today. Corriden came to town raving about his collapsed pitching staff, the one department that is keeping his team far down in the second division. His club is leading the league in batting and is among the leaders in fielding.

Lind and Angley Shine in Bat Bombardment

By Times Special TOLEDO, May 25.—We11, the Hen fans are glad that 16-15 Sunday tilt is over even if the home nine lost it. It was a scream. Piling up a lead of 12 to 3 in seven and one-half innings, the Indianapolis athletes saw their mound staff blow apart and it took ten stanzas to decide the struggle, Toledo scoring twelve runs in the last four rounds. And at the windup the Hoosiers were lucky to nose in with the victory, for the Hens were still galloping, a three-run rally in tenth saving the day for the Tribesmen. The Indians used four hurlers, Burwell, Daney, Hall and Holshouser, and Toledo employed two, Mays and Cooney. Hits rattled off the bats of both clubs all through the melee, the winners getting seventeen and the losers twenty-one for a total of thirty-eight. Carl Lind collected five safeties in six efforts and Tom Angley whacked out two home runs, driving in five runs. Starting off with eight markers in the first inning, it looked like a waltz for the visitors and in the first half of the seventh they boosted their advantage to 12 and 3. In the last of the seventh the Hens got together and exploded an eight-run barrage, and it was a ball game again. The next four rounds were nightmares for both clubs and both were glad the decision was reached in the tenth. The second half of the Sabbath twin bill was halted and postponed by rain in the fourth inning, with Toledo leading, 5 to 1. It was no game. The Hens won on Saturday, 8 to 7, in eleven innings.
