ELEVEN ‘soo’ BERTHS STILL OPEN, WITH THREE DAYS TO GO

Louis Schneider, 1931 Champion, Still Out Zeke Meyer. Bill Gardner, Leon Duray. Freddie Winnai and Others to Try for Positions in Tests Soon: Mechanic Killed in Crash. BY NORMAN E. ISAACS With only three more qualifying days left, eleven places remain • acant n the opening lineup for the 500-mile American Grand Prix at the Indianapolis speedway next Monday and A A A. officials in charge of the time trials were hopeful today that the drivers thus far unqualified would haul their cars on to the bnclts for tests in a hurry. One car qualified Wednesday, the Hudson piloted by Chet Miller, a* a clip of 111.053 miles an hour, and that puts Chet into the opening lineup. Five cars regarded as almost certain qualifiers remain out of the li sand they may attempt their trials today or Friday. If they don't, Saturday will prove one hectic afternoon.

Louis Schneider, 1931 champion, still is not qualified although he was on the track Wednesday knocking off laps at a nice speed On his third lap around the oval, while he was still warming his motor up. he stopwatched at over 105 miles an hour and later stepped it up even more. IJuray Has Troubles Zeke Meyer, another regarded as a certain qualifier, was out in the fifth Studebaker but did not attempt to qualify. A third regarded as a sure-bet is Bill Gardner and the Allegheny Metal Special. Bill should be going any time now. A fourth is Leon Ouray and the two-cycle Mallory Special. Trouble® continue to beset the veteran speed >tar and his motor quit on him JYednesday. He was towed in and started to work immediately on the motor. A fifth likely qualifier is Freddie Winnai in the C. B Special, and although Freddie has been having trouble winding his motor up to a satisfactory speed, he should be able to qualify. Gene Haustcin and the Fronty Ford may break into the lineup, as may Roy Painter in the Lupasa •Special; Ted Chamberlin in Tuho Gulotta's Marr Special, and Hank Malev's buggy, which may be driven bv Myron Stevens. Local Mechanic Killed “Gasoline Alley" was saddened today as the aftermath of the tragedy on the southeast turn late Wednesday afternoon when the "jinx’* car, driven by Benny Benrfiel. went over the wall, carrying Harry Cox. local mechanic, to his death. It was the same ear. rebuilt, which carried Joe Caccia and Clarence Grove to their deaths last year, almost to the day. a scant 200 feet from where the car went over the wall Wednesday. The machine which was unnamed was owned by Alvin Jones of the Jones fc Maley Company, Indianapolis. Last year the differential housing cracked, this year the front support gave out. a a a CHET MILLER turned in a nice performance Wednesday in qualifying his car. He turned his first lap at 111.912 miles an hour, his second at 111.207, his third at 110.05 and his fourth at 111.001 for a total average of 111.053. Both Hudsons act well and appear to be in good condition. They may land well up in the money next Monday ana Ri(ht now it in doubtful if Juan Gatidino. thr Argentine, will make the trade in qualitiration trial®, (•atidino ha® been working hard on hi* marhinr. hut i* not yet satisfied and ay* he'll hold nut until th- last minute to get the best performance nut of hi* rar. a a a Too mint of ihe boy* are puttering around and worrying about needing 10? miles an hour. They rnav stretch it too far and get left out In the cold with some youngster with a 102 mile* an hour in the opening lineup There are almost thirty cars luted as getting ready for trials. If they don't pop out on the track today or Friday. Eddie Tdenourn mrv lay the hammer down on them Saturday. a it a TRIALS have been scheduled to close at 4 Saturday afternoon and if that is so. several of the laggers may be on the outside looking In on Monday. 800 Rre ririyrr® are superstitious and should the wrecked Alvin Jones ear be rebuilt again it will be mighty hard to And a driver. ana It is not far from wrong in saying that the voi/fhrnst turn is the spot where more fatal accidents have happened than at any other place on the track. The south turn is the bad one anyway and old-timers always fell the youngsters to learn that turn thoroughlv before pushing that thing to iht floorboard*. ' a a a The Indiana section of ihr s A.

Consistent Play and Timely Hits Keep Boston Braves in Flag Spot

By F nitrd Prrt* NEW YORK. May 26 Consistently good baseball, rather than spectacular play, has boosted the Boston Braves to the top of the National League. Bill McKechnie's men have done nothing sensational. They have driven out only twelve home runs in the thirty-four games played. They have registered only two shutouts. But the Tribe has averaged 5.2 runs from 9.6 hits per game, while opponents averaged only 4.2 runs from 8.7 hits. The two outfielders. Bob Worthington and Wes Schulmerich. and stortstop Bill Urbanski have been particularly effective at bat, while four outstanding hurlers have pitched winning ball—Big Ed Brandt. Ben Cantwell. Huck Betts, and the 20-year-old rookie. Bob Brown.

Brown, who created a sensation earlier in the season by downing the mighty Dazzy Vance in a pitching duel, stepped out Wednesday and slapped another defeat onto the" Dodger's fastball ace. as the Braves b°at Brooklyn. 4 to 2. This defeat dropped the Dodgers into seventh place. Rookie Brown yielded only four hits, while Vance and his* relief hurler, aged John Picus Quinn of ispitball fame, allowed seven. Brook-

lyn's three errors contributed to the defeat. Pittsburgh Pirates moved past the Dodgers into sixth place by downing the Cincinnati Reds. 9 to 4. The Pirates pounded Carroll. Benton, Rixey and Ogden for thirteen hits. Hafey hit a homer and double for the Reds and Paul Waner led the Pirate attack with four hits. In his first appearance against his former teammates, the veteran Bur-

leigh Grimes pitched the Chicago Cubs to a shutout victor?' over the champion St. Louis Cardinals. 3 to 0. He held them to seven scattered hits. Hour home runs featured a slugfest from which the New York, Giants emerged victorious over the: Philadelphia Phillies. 12 to 8. Bill Terr?’ and Leonard Koenecke i homered for the Giants, and Chuck Klein and Don Hurst did likewise for Philadelphia. In the American League. St Louis at Detroit was called off at the end of the third inning because of rain. Cleveland at Chicago was washed out. They were the only games scheduled. CIBS PLAY TWIN BILL CHICAGO, May 26—Chicago Cubs will play both of next Mondays tilts in the afternoon, instead of splitting the bill into morning and afternoon tilts, it was announced today.
