By Eddie AsSn Ruth Hopes to Clear Tribe Park Wall • * • Cubs Back on Trail of Hoosier Chuck

TX two previous exhibition sanies at Perry stadium, one against the Indians in ’32, the other against St. Paul this year, Babe Ruth failed to clear the high wall for a home run, and he expressed disappointment. Ruth is superstitious to a certain degree and thinks Indianapolis acts as a charm to his home run hitting. A few years ago, at old Washington park, Ruth drove one over in the railroad yards and the wallop had so much distance he stopped and admired it himself. The next day, at Chicago, opposing the White Sox, the big fellow hit one over the then new right field pavilion and out into the street for the longest homer he ever made on many trips to the Windy City. Babe said the “feel” of the mighty homer scored in Indianapolis the day before tuned him up just right and geared him for the tremendous Chicago him up just right.

Leslie, A1 Feeney, Louis Schneider, race driver and othprs have sent a long letter to Ruth requesting that he try his hand at pitching a couple of innings against the Indians. The Babe was one of the best hurlers in the majors before he took up outfielding and went on to establish a world’s record in home runs. Fact is, he was just as good on the mound as any southpaw in the game at that time. a a a lii Total Eclipse ANEW YORK newspaper sports scribe, well-known for his interest in horse flesh on the galloping hoof, figured out a combination bet "that couldn't be beat” on the Kentucky Derby. In other words he felt assured he would get some of his money back. The scrivener went to Louisville ahead of the classic, made a close study of the steeds, and "spread” his bank roll.

\V ide Open Hambletonian Is Predicted by Vet Trainer

BY HENRY M’LEMORE I filed ’’r • s Staff Correspondent GOSHEN, N. Y.. May 9.—Up here in this sleepy little village nestled hard in the Ramapo hills, the men of the trotting horse are preparing for another smashing season. One of the few sports to make money last season, light harness racing, once king of the tracks, will, as usual, come to a climax with the running of the classic Hambletonian. With running horse tracks cutting their stake money to the bone, trotting men point with pride to the fact that the Hambletonian—their Kentucky Derby—will be for $50,000 added. Here at Goshen, 150 trotters and pacers of half a dozen stables are in training for the Grand Circuit, which opens in June. Early Monday morn found us perched on the white-washed fence that surrounds Good Time park mile track, watching the trotters and “wigglers” tpacersi go through their morning workouts. Beside us was Walter Cox, the daddy of all trotting men now that ‘ Pop” Geers is gone, and one of the greatest characters we ever have met in sports. Cox, an owner, trainer and driver, has spun some 600,000 miles or twenty-four times around the world, in racing sulky. One-fourth of his 67 years have been spent in active participation in trotting, and he figures that 300 days of each of those years has seen him travel fifty miles. Os all the Hambletonians he has seen, Cox believes the 1933 renewal will be the most wide open. "None of the forty eligibles this year is a standout.” he said. “Last year, the Marchioness was the class of the field and everybody knew that.

non That Klein Rumor Again HAVING been turned down twice on offers of a fortune to the Phillies for the slugging Chuck Klein, Indianapolis star, the Chicago Cubs have baited their hook with long green again owing to the fact they have heard the Phillies “haven’t been drawing flies.” It is said at one time the Bruins boosted their bid for Chuck to $250,000. That was before the death of William Wrigley Jr. Later, another effort was made to land the Hoosier at $200,000. The Phil bosses heretofore have snubbed all offers for their idol, thinking they had a chance to build a pennant winner, but this year the club got off to a pathetic start and is floundering in last place. u a tt BOUTS in Pittsburgh that Tracy Cox of Indianapolis was lined up for have been postponed indefinitely, according to Bert Rumer, manager, and just at present the Hoosier junior lightweight is in training for only one match, at Ft. Wayne, Friday, May 12, with Eddie Koppy of Detroit, ten rounds. It is said local promoters are waiting the arrival of warm weather “for sure,” before putting lines out for a big outdoor scrap at Perry stadium, with Cox opposing an opponent of his own fistic rating. a a a SHORTLY before the Hercules A. C. wrestling show , opened at Tomlinson hall Monday night, a former grappler, out of the game now and a victim, apparently, of Old Man Depression, walked up to the box office and inquired for Mr. Hercules, promoter of the show.” The box office man replied: “Hercules isn’t here. He’s home in my history book.” The transient was trying to crash the gate, but got tangled up and made a wrong guess. Lloyd Carter, matchmaker, said: "Well, at any rate, I feel proud of being mistaken for Here.” tt a THE stunt planned by Chicago White Sox players in dropping baseballs from the highest tower on the Century of Progress exposition grounds to mates on the ground was postponed from Monday until Friday. Ted Lyons will drop the spheres from a height of 628 feet and Jimmy Dykes, A1 Simmons and Ralph Kress will try to make the difficult catch.

given a fair break in the matter of racing luck, she'd win. But not this year. We’ve quite a few of the eligibles training here and not one of them has done better than 2:10 for the mile.’ The veteran believes that some day trotters and pacers will eliminate the some 20 seconds that separates their best time from that of runners, and travel just as fast.

Indians in Twin Card i . Tribe Plays Saints Twice Today; Rain Upsets Monday Tilt. By Timis Bpecinl ST. PAUL. May 9.—Red Killefer’s Indians and Emmet McCann's Saints were slated to battle in a double-header here this afternoon and the players of both teams were pulling hard for fair weather. The Monday contest was flooded out and it was the sixth postponement in nine days for the Tribesmen. The Apostles also have had their schedule upset by rain and cold weather and the twin bills piling up are not to the liking of the athletes, especially to the pitchers. The Indians have played only three games since leaving Kansas City, April 29, and they have lost two Sundays by downpours, at Milwaukee April 30 and at Minneapolis May 7. The Tribe got one game in out of four at Milwaukee and two out of four with the Millers. Rain fell in St. Paul throughout Monday morning and there wasn’t a chance to get on the field in the afternoon. Financial punishment being suffered by the American Association clubs has the league worried. I. U. f Purdue in 3-Game Series By United Press BLOOMINGTON, Ind., May 9. Cloudy skies today threatened to cause postponement of a conference baseball game between Indiana university and Purdue, Hoosier Big Ten rivals. They are scheduled to meet here here today and Wednesday and to conclude a three-game series at Lafayette Saturday.

Horse Sense BY O. REVILLA

Now that the Derby is over Don Meade, who rode the winning Broker’s Tip, and Herb Fisher, who rode the second-place Head Play, have been asked to take a thirty-day vacation and the pulse of the race horse world again beats something like normal. Let’s hear from some of the fellows who were interested in the Derby, behind the scenes. Bill Crump, former owner and trainer of Head Play: “The best horse did not win Saturday, but will be there when it’s all over at Pimlico next Saturday in the Preakness. Herb Fisher lost the race himself.” Bennett Creech, owner and trainer of Dark Winter, who displayed early speed: “I thought all along that it was a fiveeighths race.” Don Meade, jockey up on the winner: “I'm glad I could win it for Mr. Bradley. (He really meant five grand isn’t hard to take.) Bud Stotler. trainer of Ladysman, the beaten favorite: "Better horses than Ladysman have been beaten in the Derby. The only trouble was they didn’t wait for him.” Herb Fisher, jockey up on Head Play, who ran second (censored). Colonel E. R. Bradley, owner of Broker’s Tip: "Hmp, I must make room for another trophy.” Visited Aurora Monday to view the track and conditions. Never did I see a track as deep in mud as the Aurora track is now. Had a big storm last week which unroofed several of the stables. I’m satisfiede and think I’ll stay in Kentucky and see Colonel Winn's Oak Stakes during the next two weeks.

LITTLE has been said since the first appearance of this column at the start of the present golf season about the annual Indianapolis Times’ Intersholastic and schoolboy golf tournament. Little need be said, however, because the boys of school age today regard The Times event as an institution. The eighth annual event will be played this year over the beautiful Pleasant Run links, located in Irvington. The dates will be Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, June 12, 13. 14 and 15, the week after the close of school. It will also be the week following the Indianapolis District Golf Association tournament. tt tt tt School board authorities state all grade and high schools will be dismissed on or before June 9. As it takes four days to run off the school-boy tournament and because the district tournament, does not end until Wednesday, June 7, it was considered impractical to hold the event the last week of school, as has been the policy in the past. Then." too, grade school's hold until the last day of the week. Friday June 9 and these lads have found it hard

23 Pilots On Hand to Drill for ‘soo’ Race Several Outstanding Drivers Due to Take First Practice Spins Today; Triplett, Wilcox Unload Cars: Snowberger Averages 106 Miles an Hour. BY VERN BOXELL With twenty-three heavy-footed pilots already checked in. almost as many cars ready for tune-up spins and many more drivers and mounts due this week, activity at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway leaped into high gear today. Waiting for the brick oval to dry out after Monday night's rain several jockeys were expected to take their iron steeds out for airings this afternoon and railbirds were due to get their first thrills. Ernie Triplett, lanky king of the Pacific Coast drivers, unloaded his beautiful four-cylinder Miller job Monday and hoped to get it out today. Triplett is enthusiastic over his new car, the same type w'ith which he cleaned up in the west during the winter season. It's a fine looking redcolored car of the baby type, owned by Bill White. Howdy Wilcox, the local youngster who finished third in the A. A. A. ranks last year, also took the wrappers off his Gilmore special, powered b> an eight-cylinder motor, and stored it in the garasre adioinina Triplett. Mechanics began tinkering with the motor Monday afternoon and Wilcox also is due for his first trip around the track this season within a few days.

Russ Snowberger, the master mechanic who builds his own racing cars, had his semi-stock job out for some fast laps Monday and wound it up to 106 miles an hour without even trying. Cummings’ Car Ready Wild Bill Cummings, another Indianapolis youth rated high in the "big time,” visited the garages Monday, and today he hoped to zoom his Boyle Valve Special around the two and one-half-mile course. Cotton Henning finished work on Cummings’ buggy Monday. The car has been under construction here during the winter months with the exception of a few weeks, w r hen Cummings took it to the coast. Railbirds who have seen the car say it really is a classy job. Babe Stapp also is on hand, but will be forced to wait a few days until Henning puts the finishing touches on the other car entered by Michael Boyle, w’hich the coast midget wall pilot, “Studies” Stream-Lined The four-car Studebaker team also was ready for action today. The cars were brought back from the factory Monday and stored in the garages. Studebaker will introduce new to Speedway fans this year in the w r ay of stream-lined racing cars. The “Studies” are modeled along the lines of Sir Malcolm Campbell’s record-holding Bluebird, Juan Gaudino and Raul Riganti, the South American team, spent Monday in their garage working over the Golden Seal Special which the former entered and the latter will drive. An eight-cylinder Ford made its first appearance on the big oval Monday when Merrill (Doc) Williams, Franklin youngster, tried out the car owned by C. O. Wamock. He turned in some fast laps during the trial. Time Trials May 20 Although a definite date has not been set, Speedway officials today said qualification trials probably would be started earlier this year. The qualification requirements have been stiffened this year, drivers being forced to travel twenty-five miles instead of the usual ten at an average of 100 miles an hour. It was said the tests probably would open on May 20 this year. The usual 50 cents admission fee will remain. In addition to the pilots named above, others checked in at the speedway offices are Paul Butler, Tony Gullotta, Cliff Eergere, Zeke Meyers. Ernie Triplett, Phil Shafer, Ira Hall, Roy Painter, George Barringer, Lou Moore, Shorty Cantlon, Deacon Litz, Lou Schneider, Joe Russo, George Howie Terrence Curley and Leon DeHart.
