By Eddie Aslk Brewer-Indian Hostility Started Here m m m This Baseball Feud Is on the Level
'JpiIAT Milwaukee-Indianapolis baseball feud is on the level and the umpires may have to give way to fistic referees sooner or later when Indians and Brewers collide on the diamond. The punch that Manager Frank O'Rourke took at Chief Red Killefer of the Tribe in Milwaukee Sunday hardly will end the “war" and Prexy Tom Hickey of the American Association probably went on a gallop today headed for the Cream City to put an armistice into effect. O'Rourke grew hostile when the Brewers opened the season in Indianapolis April 11 and it was during that series that Frank worked himself into a lather.
O’Rourke “All Ears” r T''HE bad blood cropped out in O'Rourke when the Indians learned he was “all ears,” and naturally Killefer and his players overlooked no opportunities to make “cracks” when he was within earshot of their dugout. The Brewer chief said he heard Killefer order pitcher Lefty Logan. to “dust off” his batsmen in the second game. The opening tilt went fourteen innings to a 3-to-3 tie, and both clubs were at the breaking point as a result of the strain, and the next day O'Rourke started “popping off.” In the Milwaukee clubhouse, after the second tilt, he said: “If that redhead continues those tactics I’ll punch him right between the eyes.” a a st Player Fight Recalled AS a matter of fact, the only player “knocked down” by a pitched ball in the Milwaukee at Indianapolis series was Harry Rosenberg of the Indians, who was struck when facing Pitcher Garland Braxton in the second battle. O’Rourke also accused Killefer of cutting down the Brewers’ batting practice period on opening day, but the Tribe boss explained it was necessary to shave a little on account of ceremonies taking up so much time. One thing led to another and on the third day Catcher Tom Angley of the Indians and Outfielder Dutch Hoffman of the Brewers came to blows in a play at the plate. According to Killefer, Manager O'Rourke was “nice as pie” when they were conferring with the umpires before the third game and he said: “I guess the cry baby has cooled off.” a t Christie Chimes In THERE was a matter also that involved Cuckoo Christensen, comedian fly chaser with the Brewers. He spread the report that Killefer was chased out of the Pacific Coast League for using "bean ball” tactics, and Killefer said this accu- ■ sation was based on sour grapes. He had released Christensen from a Coast League club and referred to him as a “half wit” for stooping to slanderous talk. It’s possible O’Rourke boiled over because he muffed a chance to protest the third game in Indianapolis, won by the Indians, 4 to 3. Umpire Ben Tincup became confused on the ground rules w’hen the Indians made a wild throw and his decision cost the Brewers. The mistake was missed by O’Rourke, and when he “woke up” after it was called to his attention, twenty-four hours had passed and the opportunity to protest was over. Thereupon, as the Brewers were leaving Indianapolis, Frank said he would see that the Tribesmen were cut short on batting drill when they invaded Milwaukee.
Barbasols Hang Up All-Time Record in State Pin Action
BY LEFTY LEE Crashing the maples for a total of 3,198, anew all-time record for play in the state bowling tournament, the Barbasols assumed the lead in this division of competition now in progress on the Pritchett Recreation alleys. Jess Pritchett, Jerry O’Grady ana Don Johnson were the pin-spillers to star in this record set, having counts of 707, 690 and 649. Opening with a count of 1,064 and following this mark with scores of 1,107 and 1,027, the Barbasols displayed the power that lias featured their season's play in both league and tour- 1 nament action. Inspired by Frank Hueber, the i Gregory Sc Appel team rolled into second place with a total of 3,098, a score that passed all previous marks in this play, with the exception of the Barbasols' new record. Carl Hardin again came to the front when he closed with a great 256 to total 710 for this club. Hueber roled 642 and Fulton 641. Their games were 987, 1,100 and 1,011. Hueber is the sixth member of the Barbasols and he proved of great assistance when he joined out with the Gregory Sc Appels. Mic-Lis-McCahlli. another local team that alwavs Rives a Rood account of itself in tournev play, reached third place in the current state meet with a score of 2 986 Charlie Stich and Dan Abbott, leadoff and anchor for this team, produced totals of 683 and 60S.

Invades Tribe Clubhouse INDIANS and Brewers were carded to play a double-header in Milwaukee Sunday, but were rained out and O'Rourke stormed into the Indianapolis clubhouse and swung on Killefer's jaw. It was a onepunch battle on account of the fact that the Brewer leader has an injured right hand. Frank's right thumb was broken Friday and he also received a spike wound. Hitting Killefer with his left, O’Rourke was taking big chances, but the Indian chief held his temper and grabbed the churning Brewer and held him until players intervened. st n tt Future Scraps Likely KILLEFER said: “I would be a fine mug to hit you back while you have the use of only one hand.” And O'Rourke replied; “Don’t let that worry you. I’ll always be able to take care of myself against you even with one hand out of commission.” There was no further scrapping, however, but it is evident the future rivalry between the men and clubs is going to oe loaded with dynamite. Milwaukee describes Indianapolis as “the chesty Indians” and the Brewers apparently mean to keep carrying chips on their shoulders. a at Lefty Kisses Base IT took thirteen games for Lefty O'Doul to get a hit. He was batting champion of the National League last year, but got away to a painful start this season. He went hitless for twenty-seven times at bat, On his twenty-eighth time up, on Saturday, he singled. Old Lefty ran to first base, shouting and laughing, and wound up his celebration by kneeling and kissing the sack. It started O’Doul off and on Sunday he combed a home run and single.
Hoosier Stars Grab Laurels By Times Special DES MOINES, la., May I. Hoosier college athletes grabbed the spotlight at the Drake relays here Saturday. Raymond Sears, Butler star, captured the two-mile race from a star field in 9:36.1, Duane Purvis of Purdue carried off javelin throw honors with a toss of 203.4 feet, and Noble Biddinger of Indiana U. smashed the hammer throw’ record with a toss of 161 feet, 4.9 inches.

doubles and sinßles events, all of these boys being over the 600 mark. Carl Hardin wants the bowling public to know that he has never been a secretary of any bowlinß league. The manner in which this bov hits the pins in tournament play convinces the bowlers that he is really a bowler, however. Hardin’s season’s work in both the Capitol City Traveling and Indianapolis Leagues showed an average of 199. John Blue disappointed his followers by rolling far below his usual form. Different things can be expected from him in the doubles and singles state tournev. however, as he is reallv one of the stars of the game. One bad game ruined both team and individual scores. Wimberly dropping to 127 after a start of 429: Mahoney. 145 on top of games of 192 and 228. and Argus a 169 to finish a 419 start, being some of the examples.

Four Head Derby List Ladysman, Head Play and Charley 0. Are Standouts. BY KENNETH D. FRY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, May I.—Derby week in old Kentucky opens with the east pinning its hopes on the winter book favorite, W. R. Coe’s Ladysman, and the west riding along with Charley O, the Hourless colt; Head Play, Mrs. Willie Crump’s chestnut colt, and Broker’s Tip, owned by Colonel E. R. Bradley, who is seeking his fourth Derby purse. The $50,000 added classic, ancient and colorful spectacle which will be re-enacted at the historic Downs oval Saturday, is likely to bring a record field to the barrier. That Wear and Tear Despite the standout quality of Coe’s Ladysman and the fine mile and a quarter workout he turned in Saturday, there lingers a streak of doubt in the minds of horsemen whether or not a Pompey colt can stand the wear and tear of the route of ground in competition with the best three-year-olds of the nation. The week before the Derby always brings new names into contendership. This year it is Mr. Khayyam, a fleet bay colt with steel sinews, owned by the Catawha farm stable. The son of Omar Khayyam—winner of the 1917 Derby, took a sizeable slice out of his own high future book odds by a six length victory in the Chesapeake stakes at a mile and a sixteenth at Havre de Grace Saturday. His impressive stretch finish gave Mr. Khayyam a certain place in the fifty-ninth running of the Blue Grass event this week. Head Play at Peak Head Play is appropriating rising acclaim in the west. The My Play colt tied the Downs track record for five-eighths in a run Saturday and sped out a mile in 1:40 1-5. On the face of the late performances, the race appears to be a four horse affair, with Ladysman and Mr. Khayyam carrying eastern hopes and Head Play and Charley O, loaded down with the bankrolls of the west. But it will be the kind of a field in which anything can happen, especially if traditional Derby weather brings torrents of rain and a gooey track.

Sluggers Turn on Pitchers; 18 Homers Blasted in Sunday Tilts
BY JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, May I.—With a kindly sun thawing the early-sea-son chill from their bones, major league home run hitters are swinging into their annual symphony of slugging. The clouters snapped out of their slump Sunday and blasted eighteen four-baggers in twelve games. In the previous 106 contests in both leagues, only seventy home runs were made. New York’s Yankees hammered out five homers as they took both ends of a double-header from Boston, 11 to 2 and 8 to 3, before Yankee stadium’s largest crowd of the year, 47,000. In the opener, Lou Gehrig smashed his sixth and seventh homers into right field bleachers in the first and seventh innings. Tony Lazzeri, who contributed a double, two singles and a triple to the first victory, added two home runs and a single to the nightcap, after Babe Ruth had opened the nightcap with his fifth circuit smash of the season. Two rookies pitched for New York. Russell Van Atta allowed eight hits in the lid lifter, and Don Brennan only four in the sleeper. Six homers were registered as St. Louis and Detroit split a twin bill. The Browns won the opener, 11 to 8, but dropped the second, 5 to 1. St. Louis pounded four Tiger pitchers for seventeen hits in the first contest, including a homer by Jim Levey. In the nightcap, every run was brought in by a four-bagger. Johnny Stone and Gerald Walker each drove out two homers for De-

Speedway List Closes Tonight; 40 Cars Listed in Early Entries
Final Rush Is 0q as Midnight Deadline Nears and Many More Are Expected to Sign Despite More Stringent Qualification Requirements. With the usual car owner's superstition, the final rush to be the last to enter a racer in the annual 500-mile classic at Indianapolis Motor Speedwry on May 30 was on today. Entry blanks and deposit money were pouring in by mail and wire to assure one of the most capable fields ever to enter the Decoration day classic. Cars from California, which had its best winter of competition, were prominent among the eleventh-hour entries as drivers and owners arrived from the west coast. Up to noon today, forty entries had been received, and many more were expected today. Entries close at midnight-tonight, and all postmarked before that time will be accepted.
More stringent qualification requirements will be invoked this year, with qualifiers for the classic grind required to average 100 miles an hour or more for twenty-five miles. The qualifying distance fomerly was ten miles. Many famous racing names are included among the early entries. Others will join the fold later. Several car owners have not named drivers definitely. T. E. (Pop) Meyer, general manager of the Speedway, said today the entry list is surprising in view of the change in qualifying requirements and general economic conditions. Expect Sixty to Enter With entries arriving in every mail. Speedway officials indicated the entry list probably would reach sixty or more, of which only fortytwo will be qualified to start the long grind on May 30. Among the outstanding entries are the two cars signed by Harry Hartz, ex-pilot. One is an eightcylinder front drive Miller, probably the one in which Fred Frame raced to victory and anew record average of 104.144 last year, and the other a four-cylinder stream-lined car, probably the one which Hartz drove to anew straightaway record of 152.01 miles an hour at Murdoc lake two months ago. Five Studebakers Signed Five classy Studebakers are in the early list, but drivers have not been named definitely. Another star team entered is Wild Bill Cummings of Indianapolis and Babe Stapp of Los Angeles, who will pilot Boyle Valve creations. All of the top finishers last year are expected to get under the wire with entries, as well as the other favorites of long standing and some newcomers.
enabled Boston to down New York Giants, 3-0, in the opener, and in the nightcap, the Braves repeated, 8 to 4, after getting eight hits off three Giant pitchers, including a homer by Wally Berger. Lefty O’Doul, leading batsman of the league, drove out his first homer of the season, as Brooklyn clicked off six runs in the sixth inning to beat the Phillies, 6 to 3. Pittsburgh replaced New York in the league’s lead by trouncing Cincinnati, 8 to 1, after rallies of three runs in the first inning and five in the ninth. Waite Hoyt, the cast-off, held the Reds to five hits.

The biggest thrill of the race was Interpreter, who broke out of the starting gate and ran awav for fiveeights. Looked for a while as if he was going to dump Monte Parke over the fence. a a a DERBY talk here has turned mostly to the sensational workouts of Head Play. This youngster equaled a track record in a workout Saturday and sure is collecting himself a bunch of followers. a a a The favorite Ladysman, is en route to Louisville from the east and should arrive about Tuesday. His price dropped today to three and a half to one. I might be wrong but that to me is all wrong. I say Pompey colts won't go the Derby distance. Look what they did to two of them at Havre Saturday, and at a shorter distance of a mile and one-sixteenth. tt tt a The horse that wins this man's Derby is the one who can show some go on after he reaches the head of the lane and they will have to be up in the running for that first mile. If you can find a Pompey colt that ever showed a race at that distance. I wish vou would mail in the record. You know Pompey himself was fast and showed the wav to the head of the lane in the 1926 Derbv but finished so far back it was pitiful. Earlv speed Is not going to win this mile and a quarter event and don’t think it will. a a a You can buy it for a nickel a glass down here, boys. Right over the bar.

AN enthusiastic crowd journeyed to Indian Lake course Sunday to watch Bobby Dale, Riverside amateur star, and Happy Alyea, Indian Lake pro, take on Bill Heinlein, former state amateur champion and Dave Mitchell, South Grove ace, in an 18-hole match, with Dale and Alyea using the 8-inch cups. General opinion, after the match was that the larger cups are not the thing golf needs. “It makes the game too easy,” Heinlein said after the match. Young Dale, who holed out approach shots and used only 22 putts for the 18 holes, agreed. a a a As the match ended Dale and Alyea held a 4-up lead, two up for each nine. Dale broke par 72 with a score of 70 and Heinlein, playing to the regulation 444-inch cups, had an individual 74. Mitchell and Alyea each had 76’5.. Dale chipped into the large cup twice from off the green and sank his approach shot from well out on the eighth hole to get an eagle.. The good putter that he naturally is, the large cups made easy pickin’ for the Riverside star, in spite of the high wind that made any golf difficult. a a a Saturday was an ideal day and Chuck Garringer, Speedway pro. found the going just right to equal his course record of 68. Chuck was one under par out with a 34, getting two birdies and slipping over par one stroke on the ninth hole. On the way in he birdied holes 10 and 11 and then slipped over on 13. A birdie on the long eighteenth helped and he came back in the same count while Bert Street. Charlie Braughton and Cliff Bergere looked on. The record is jointly field by Garringer. Neal Mclntyre and Bill Heinlein. a a a Mike Duffeev Jr., and George Tenny were red hot Saturday afternoon in the opening day tournament at Highland and finished one-two in the net score division with epunts of 62 and 63 respectively. Duffecy had 86, with 24 handicap, and Tenny 81, with 18 strokes allowance. Low gross honors went to Max Buell with a 71 and he just no-cd out Ralph Young, Freeman P. Davis, Jim Stevenson and Dr. Earl W. Gant, who had 75’s. The usual opening day stag dinner followed with Roy Hartz and his golf committee composed of Tom Dungan and Everett Agnew detailing the season program. a a a EDDIE ZIMMER, playing his qualifying round in the Indianapolis Country Club spring handicap tournament, banged the gutta percha around the fairways and greens in 75 blows and captured the low gross honors. Eddie needed every one of those putts that hung cn the edge and hesitated before dropping, because right on his heels was Bob Bowen with a well-nlayed 76. Zimmer and Bowen also were one-two in the ball sweepstakes, with R. C. Bain third with 80. C. O. Roemler and Dr. W. S. Owen took net honors with 71 each, Roemler having an 89, with 18 handicap, and Owen 83, with 12 handicap. Harry Reiser and Dr. C. A. Nafe were second with 7os. n tt tt Judge William A. Pirkens lost out in the draw when it came time to award prizes in the blind par tournament staged in his honor over the week-end by Riverside club members, and other players who had net
