FORTY CARS ARE EXPECTED TO START IN 500-MILE CLASSIC

33 Pilots Qualified; Final Tests Today Thirty-Nine Fastest and Diesel to Battle for Gold and Glory Saturday: Slowest in Time Tests to Be Cut From List. BY NORMAN E. ISAACS With the 500-mile race only three days off and qualification trials scheduled to end this evening, interest of the world in the great automotive classic neared its peak today. Thirty-three cars had been qualified up until today and more than forty are expected to have tried to break into the starting lineup when the tests are officially called off tonight by W. D. (Eddie) Edenbum, A. A. A. representative in charge of the race. If more than forty do take the tests, the slowest of the gasoline buggies will be dropped and the thirty-nine fastest will pull away from the starting line Saturday along with the Cummins Diesel.

The Diesel was on its way back to Indianapolis this morning from Columbus, Ind., where Clessie L. Cummins, its owner and builder, had put the finishing touches on it for the long “five-century” grind. Dave Evans was slated to drive the car back to the track, and he haa promised to give the fans at the Speedway this afternoon a few glimpses of the oil-burning car when others were not qualifying. Slowest Next to Fastest The Diesel would have been qualified had it made only eighty miles an hour, but Evans made it get up and step for the folks first thing Saturday and it clicked off nir.ety-six miles an hour, assuring it not only a starting berth but a place high up in the list. Cummings smiled as Evans roared around the oval in the big oileater and remarked that it would have qualified at 100 or more had the wind, sweeping down the north turn, not been so stiff. A strange thing about the race Is that the Diesel, the slowest of the qualifiers thus far, will be sitting next to the fastest car in the race, according to qualification speeds, when the starting bomb goes off at 10 o’clock Saturday. The Diesel will be perched next to Billy Arnold’s trim Miller-Hartz frontdrive Special, in which Arnold rode to victory in 1930. Fast Boys in Line Arnold’s 116-mile-an-hour speed Sunday has been the fastest gait shown thus far in the eliminations, but it may not be thq fastest machine. There are rumors to the effect that Louis Meyer’s bus, which he qualified Tuesday at 113 miles an hour, is capable of much more than that and that Bill Cummings, in the front-drive Empire State Special, can roam up to near 118 if he has to do it. Arnold probably would have had the “pole” position had he not failed to pass his brake test late Saturday after trying to qualify. His 113-mile-an-hour clip was better than Russell Snowberger’s 112-plus, but when he failed to pass the brake test, the qualification run was declared void and Billy had to run it over Sunday. Nevertheless, Snowberger deserves a lot of credit, and much more than that, too, for getting his “homemade” wagon into the first position on the first rwo. Russ certainly stepped up his car this year and the way it roamed around Saturday indicates it may go somewhere and do things. *

♦-Speedway Chatter-^ BY NORMAN E. ISAACS

Russell snowberger and his “hcm.'-made” gas buggy are sitting next to two "tough boys” in Bill Cummings and Paul Bost in the Empiie State Specials. Should Russell decide he wants a cut of the lap prize kale, he will find Wild William a hard customer to bargain with. Cummings may have an eye on the SIOO lap prize “gravy" and the "wise acres” are picking him to win the first few hundred "C’s.” anyway. a tt tt AU in ill, Jt may be one swell chase for the "side-swag” Saturday. Besides Snowberger, Cummings, Bost and Arnold, there remain Louis Meyer and Shorty Cantlon, who have all the juice In the world in their cars and probably are resolved not to let the front-runners get too far in front. tt a tt Meantime, there is another young man who may decide to make it hot for the bovs and that is Francis Quinn, the Pacific Coast star, in the Tucker Tappet Ford Special. Quinn is driving the ‘'hottest” Ford that ever has been seen on the Indianapolis track and he can get up to 111 miles an hour for a lap as he proved In his Qualification Young Mr. Quinn mav be in that battle, or not very far behind before the race is weU under way. tt tt tt Two gentleman who won't be gunning for lap prize jack, but will be trying to set themselves a nice, consistent rate of speed aU during the race are Evans In the Diesel and Duray in his two-cycle. Both have new-fangled creations and while Dare’s perhaps is a better bet to coma home. Leon’s two-cycle is not to be laughed at and he may make the boys sit up and stare by the time the race is over. Leon qualified his car at 10S miles an hour Tuesday and although it sounds like a whole battery of machine gunners in action at the same time, the thing runs. Leon's car is the loudest machine to appear in years and reminds the old timers of the ancient jobs. Race cars. too. have lest a lot of their roar and rumble in the last decade. Louis Meyer's sixteen-cylinder job percolated perfectly in its trial Tuesday, and so did Cantlon’s sixteen-cylinder Harry Miller Special. Harry, himself, was at the starting line in his shirt sleeves watching the car buzz through the tests. Harry puts a lot of stock in his newest creation, and you can tell by the look in his eye that the cai* is his “baby.” o b a Shortv. bv the wav. has all the steam In the world in his crate and he certainly can "pour In the soup” on the straightaways. • tt tt tt '‘Gasoline Alley” is saddened and hurt by the deaths of the two boys Tuesday on the southeast curve. The lives of Joe Caccia and Clarence Groves were snuffed

Wild Bill Chittum to Race at Garden Oval.

Wild Bill Chittum of Columbus has entered the fifty-mile feature race at Walnut Gardens oval Sunday. Wild Bill has set several track records in the east but has appeared only a few times in this territory. Billy Eowers, local driver with a new car, also is entered, bringing the list to sixteen. Howdy Wilcox, Red Campbell, Howard King, Mark Billman, Frank Sweigart, A1 Jones, Ray Palmer and others will compete in the time trials starting at 9 a. m. Sunday morning with the feature at 3:30. A match race between Howdy TOdcox and Red Campbell will premie the fifty-mile battle.

Genaro, Cox Matched for Main Event

Frankie Genaro of Waterbury, Conn., and Tracy Cox, Brightwood idol, will supply the feature action on the opening card at Ft. Harrison’s outdoor arena next Tuesday night. The junior lightweights will meet over the ten-round route In a decision battle. All Harrison scraps will be decision affairs. Genaro is an Italian mauler and has been seen In local rings three times. Bud Taylor gained the nod over him in a lively scrap at Harrison last summer, and he defeated Mike Dundee at the Armory a year ago. He also drew with Dundee in the same ring. Captain James R. Kennedy, matchmaker at Ft. Harrison, plans an all-star prelim card. There will be no price advance, as the state boxing commission, which will govern the “punch bowl” bouts later in the season, will not be active on June 2. Ringside seats will remain at $2 and general admission at sl.

HOPING to interest more teams of amateur players from Indianapolis as well as more out-of-town professionals and their amateur partners, the Indianapolis Professional Golfers Association will conduct their future weekly proamateur meets under anew plan. Instead of a pro entering with an amateur partner and playing from scratch, cr a team of two amateurs entering and playing with one-half of the combined handicap of the two. future matches will be played with all amateurs having the benefit of three-fourths of their combined handicap allotted them by the reug’ar club. Playing with such an handicap the amateur players must take advantage of the strokes on the holes on which they are allowed on the regular score card, Roy Smith, president of the Indiana Professional Golfers Association, said today. A couple of weeks ago Nelson Marks, a prominent local amateur, teamed with

out when their machine, a Joneg-Maley special, apparently went to pieces and dived over the wall. The two boys, both fine fellows, never had a chance for their lives and perhaps they were spared from knowing what was happening. They were doing about 100 or so miles an hour when something went wrong—some say a locked drive shaft, others a broken pinion gear—and the car smashed into the wall and plunged 125 feet through the air, throwing the two clear and then falling on them. The car was in flames, and the bodies were burned badly. Both boys. Caccia. 31, and Groves, 23. are survived by their mothers in Bryn Mawr. Pa., and Haverford. Pa., respectively. n a tt It is one of the tragedies of racing that fine, clean-living youths are killed every so often, but their gameness and courage in facing possible injury or death in every race, is what has helped build up the automobile to what it is today. The Indianapolis Speedway probably is the world’s greatest proving ground for automobiles and for every man who has given his life there is a certain definite improvement that they have helped put in vour car. Present-day automobiles, with all their new gadgets and smooth-riding, perhaps are the monuments to those men who have given their lives on the race tracks of America.

William Harridge

By United Press CLEVELAND, 0., May 27.—Election of William Harridge as the third president of the American League, which he has served for over twenty years, was believed certain today as the eight club owners met here to name a successor to the late Ernest S. Barnard. Entering the league service as private secretary to Ban Johnson, Harridge became its secretary in 1927 when Barnard was elected president. With Barnard’s death he assumed many of the chief executive's duties after the owners decided to leave the position vacant until fall. Repeated complaints of umpiring inefficiency, however, actuated advance of the election date and the secretary was regarded as the logical man for the position. The owners probably will name him to serve until the December meeting at which time, it was understood he will be offered a three-year contract.

George Green, another amateur, in a proamateur event at Speedway course, and finished with a best ball score of 69. As it happened there were three teams with scores cf 63 that nosed them out of the prize list. That was enough for Marks. He said when a 69 won’t get in the select three then he is out. But from here on in, according to Smith, there are going to be five prizes in every pro-amateur whether there be ten, twenty or fifty entries. That should please some of the boys who have been playing each week and watching the other boys collect. Next week. Monday to be exact, the proamateur will be played over the Peru Country Club course where Marion Smith, who won the last pro-amateur, is professional and Rags Redmond does his playing as an amateur. They do not like to be selfish about it, but both aver they will make it Interesting for the visitors. an a ANOTHER- interesting feature has been started by the professionals in the hopes of interesting more amateurs and pros in the Indiana open to be played at Speedway course on Aug. 3, 4 and 5. Each Sunday the pros are going to form exhibition teams of four members each and visit all the clubs in the northern and southern half of the state. The southern group will play out of Indianapolis and will have in addition to professional members two of the leading amateur players in Indianapolis along with them, George Lance, state amateur champion, the last four years and Bill Heinlein, state junior champion, who broke into big print first as winner of The Indianapolis Times high school tournament two years in succession. With such players as Neal Mclntyre, Ralph Stonehouse, Freddy McDermott, Chuck Garrlnger, Roy Smith, Lance and Heinlein. traveling from Indianapolis, and such players as Johnny Watson state open champion of South Bend, Chuck Bader, Gary amateur star, Walter Murray, Johnny Noonan, Ervin Nelson, Guy Paulsen. former open champion and others as the northern barnstorming crew, the pros are certain to stimulate lots of interest in open tournament here as well as to give the members of clubs visited a golf exhibition well worth while.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Tribe Buys Griffin, Montreal Righthander — Owner Perry Swings Another Deal Striving to Strengthen Mound Staff for His Slugging Indians; Corridenites Wallop Columbus as Race Tightens. BY EDDIE ASH Owner Norman Perry of the Indians put through another deal today striving to bolster the Tribe mound staff when he approved the purchase of Marty Griffin, right-hander, from the Montreal club of the International League, class.AA. Scout Jack Hendricks went east, watched the big fellow work out and recommended the buy. Griffin won fourteen games and lost twelve with the third-place Royals last year and has been going at about the same pace this season. He is 28 and is a six-footer.

Earned-run average against Griffin in 1930 was 3.83 and he was fourth in the International in this respect, John Berly, now with the New York Giants, being first with 2.49. Berly was with the Rochester champions in 1930. Marty participated in thirty-two games and turned in a perfect fielding average. He pitched eighteen complete games. Lead League in Batting All Tribe officials believe Griffin will help the Indians and prove as successful as Berly Horne, bought from Jersey City and who beat Louisville in his first start as a Tribesman. The Corridenites are leading the American Association in club batting, their fielding is fairly good and with an improved brand of pitching the team will staid a splendid charxe of climbing up in the race. The A. A. pennant fight is close and sizzling, and the Indians, in seventh place, are only four and one-half games away from the league-leading St. Paul Saints. Toledo, in the cellar, is only five games back, and it will be a case of dog eat dog if the second division teafns continue to 6tage frequent uprisings. Team Home Friday The Indians will be home Friday after a long journey on the road in which they toured the entire circuit. They will begin a lengthy home stand with night baseball on the eve of the 500-mile race, playing the Louisville champions. Starting Friday, all Washington park games, with the exception of Sunday contests, will be played under the lamps. The first “ladies’ night,” when women will be admitted free, will be next Monday.

Indians Hammer Sphere and Clip Birds’ Wings

By Times Special COLUMBUS, 0., May 27.—The soaring Red Birds, believing they had easy pickings Tuesday, got their wings clipped by the hard-hitting Indians of Johnny Corriden and the Hoosiers slugged their way to victory in the series opener, 13 to 6. The teams were held idle by rain Monday and the contest Tuesday was Columbus’ first look at the Tribe this year. Nearly 3,000 fans turned out with the expectation of seeing the Birds win and thereby regain the league lead, but the Cprridenites had on their batting clothes and collected seventeen hits. A six-run rally in the fourth put the Indians across and as they whaled the ball the local defense collapsed and it was a walkaway for the visitors. Bud Parmalee, on the Columbus mound, was striving for his fifth consecutive victory, but he failed to last, Dean and Gudat being other hurlers used by the defeated Birds. George Smith, Tribe starting hurler, was wild, but effective, passing nine men and Columbus had twelve runners left stranded. He was taken out in the eighth when he started losing his “zip” and Frank Mulroney finished out the game on the Indian mound. Smith was credited with the triumph and the loss went against Parmalee. The series calls for two more games, today and Thursday. Berly Home, new Tribe hurler, is nursing an injured finger received during the series at Toledo. TRIBE BATTING FIGURES AB H Aver. R.
