Hr llk baseball fans of the country will determine by ballot the selection of the two all-star big league teams to battle in the diamond feature of the Century of Progress exposition at Chicago on July 6. The American and National loops have agreed to declare a schedule “holiday” on that date and offer the best of their talent for the game. The site of the unusual attraction will be either Comiskey park, home of the White Sox, or Wrigley field, home of the Cubs. Proceeds of the contest will be donated to the organization that takes care of old ball players in distress. The Indianapolis Times has been appointed as the “People’s Choice” in this territory and a voting blank will be published later to give everybody an opportunity to name their favorite players for the two crack nines.

End of the Trail "IUTITHIN the last two weeks VV George Kelly and Dutch Ruether have been dropped by the Oakland club of the Pacific Coast League, with just a single newspaper paragraph to announce their departure. They are through. The releases look like the end of the baseball path for both former big league stars. Kelly retires with regrets, disliking to leave the game, but secure in the knowledge of his future. He has a come near San Francisco and a fair proportion of the some $200,000 he earned while doing an expert job of first-basing. Ruether, likewise, has regrets, but faces an uncertain future. Although he took in close to $250,000 In his twenty-two years of professional ball, he admitted to friends recently that he was “almost broke.” Kelly’s biggest years were with the Giants when John McGraw’s teams were gettting world's series slices from 1921 through 1924. He then made from $12,500 to $13,500 a year straight salary, with the series money to add to the total. Ruether cut world’s series melons with Cincinnati in 1919, Washington in 1925 and the New York Yankees in 192fi and 1927. His best earning season brought him a salary and bonus of $21,000.

Lefties in Majority TOLEDO has the “unusual” in pitching staffs. There are more southpaws on it than right- ; handers, and this situation probably is not matched anywhere in baseball for a seven-man crew. Winegarner, Pearson and Lawson are the righthanders and Twogood, Lee, Nekola. Thornton Lee and Bachman are the lefties. Indianapolis has three southpaws, Cooney, Logan and Bolen, but when a class AA club goes In for four portsiders it is something new to chatter about Os all southpaws were squirrels, as represented in fiction.

Richbourg has played in the American. National, Southern, American Association, International and South Atlantic Leagues since he came out of the University of Florida to play with the New York Giants. Richbourg teaches a Sundav | school class of 700 in Nashville. Indianapolis fans will remember him |as a member of the Milwaukee Brewers about ten years ago. tt tt a IT is said the New York Yankees are not likely to permit Babe Ruth to do any more pitching in [exhibition games. When he twirled at Indianapolis against the Indians he was socked on the knee by a whistling shot off the bat of Frank Sigafoos and the Yankee chiefs broke out in goose pimples when they heard about it. Babe's legs can not stand much punishment. Maybe the Athletics restored mast of the salary they took away from George Earnshaw since 1932. He pitched great ball Thursday. The big fellow was cut $10,500, from SIB,OOO to $7,500.

Indians Off to Swift Start in Night Play Tribe Thumps Colonels, 9 to 5, Under Lights Friday; Series Will Close With Single Tilt This Evening and Double-Header Sunday Afternoon. The Indians took to night baseball in a big way Friday and collected eighteen hits, good for nine runs, giving them the decision over the Louisville Colonels. 9 to 5. The teams will battle under the lights again tonight at 8:15 and then mix in a double-header Sunday afternoon to windup the series. Columbus will invade Perry stadium Monday night and the grand stand will be free to women at the Red Bird opener. Louisville was no weakling with the bludgeon Friday and pounded out thirteen blows trying to catch up with the Tribesmen. There were extra base hits galore, consisting of doubles and triples and the crowd of 3.500 <1.500 paid) was given a rare treat in the way of action. It was an errorless contest despite the fact it was the first game for both

clubs under the lights this season. The contest was played under protest after the sixth inning and Manager Bruno Betzel of the Colonels thinks he sees a chance to compel a replay. Olivares fouled to Angley in that round and the Tribe's robust catcher caught the sphere on his shoulder after it bounced out of his glove. Betzel asserted part of Angley's chest protector helped out in clutching the ball. Get to Jonnard The Indians got to Claude Jonnard, the former popular local hurler, in the first round after two down when Chapman walked and Frank Sigafoos doubled, scoring Chapman, who displayed “a lot of leg” circling the bases. Three more markers were chalked up by the home nine in the second on singles by Angley, Callaghan and Sigafoos, a double by White and a triple by Dudley Lee. The Hoasiers kept pegging away and boosted their run total to nine by scoring once in the fourth and fifth and twice in the sixth. Jonnard was knocked out of the box in the second and Jim Turner, Tribe starting hurler, was sent to the showers by the Colonels in the seventh. Hits in Every Inning The Indians whacked out one or more hits in each inning and had twelve runners left on the sacks. The feature fielding stunt was supplied by Marty Callaghan, who made a diving catch on Thompson’s low line drive in the second stanza. It was an important play on account of the fact Van Camp followed with a double. Tom Angley led the batting parade with three singles and a double in five times up. Callaghan and Sigafoos each got three in safe spots for the winners and Adair and Van Camp of the Colonels were prominent with three blows each. The hit total for the night by both teams was thirty-one. Bill Burwell was in charge of the Indians and the victory boosted his managerial record to the .500 mark, with two wins and two defeats. Manager Red Killefer will be back on the lines tonight.

13,000 Watch Kid Chocolate Turn Back British Barkeeper

BY JOE WILLIAMS New York World-Telegram Sports Editor NEW YORK. May 20.—It's a long, long way to Tipperary. It's a much longer way to Kid Chocolate's chin. Seaman Tom Watson of England found that out Friday night, in his unsuccessful campaign for the featherweight championship. The seaman was beaten, rather emphatically. I thought, by *he rotogravure battler from Cuba in fifteen rounds before a crowd of 13,000 that rocked the Garden with primitive hymns of lust. Possibly it wasn't a great fight, but it was a bruising fight, earnestly and energetically conducted, with both frying-sizers frequently standing head to head and blasting away with inestimable vigor. There was only one knockdown. It came in the tenth round. The Chocolate Kid caught the British barkeep with a left on the chin that

By United Press NEW YORK, May 20.—The St. Louis Cardinals, who dropped from the world’s championship to a sixth-place National League tie last season, are staging a gradual comeback. During the last three weeks the club batting average has improved from .217 to .250 and the field percentage from .963 to .973. The pitching also is better. Pepper Martin, hero of the 1931 world series, is doing well at third base and batting .370, third on the

Only one, Captain Paul Tauer in the high hurdles, was forced to enter qualification trials Friday and he survived easily. The other Bulldogs are entered in distance events. In the Valley tennis tournament, Gene Demmary of Butler qualified for the semi-finals, to be played today, and paired with Vincent Meunier to gain the doubles finals.

When he got up his upper torso was covered with resin. The tiny particles glistened under the flood lights like a coat of metal mesh. He was dazed but unafraid. A seaman is used to stormy weather. He danced around a bit and then tore into the Chocolate Kid. scoring with short punches in close. Nothing brings®a pagan crowd to its ieet quicker than the spectacle of a beaten man coming back. It is hard to describe the timber of such a cry. I imagine the chant of jungle savages is much like it. If that is so. the dark-skinned Chocolate must have experienced sympathetic reactions, and the matter-of-fact Britisher must have wondered what it was all about.

On the broad, dusky and capable shoulders of Willis Ward, Michigan’s Negro sophomore honor student and athlete, rests the major share of the Wolverines’ championship hopes. Ward virtually is conceded the high jump title today, and he qualified for the finals in the 100-yard dash, the broad jump, and the high hurdles Friday. Although Indiana was outpointed in early trials, the Hoosiers lost no strength as their heavy point get-

The Cards advanced to a fourthplace tie with Cincinnati Friday by nosing out New York, 8 to 7, when Pat Crawford singled in the tenth with the bases loaded, scoring Estel Crabtree with the winning run. Mel Ott and Blonciy Ryan contributed homers for the Giants. Boston snnpped Pittsburgh’s threegame winning streak by beating the league leaders, 5 to 3, assisted by three runs in the opening frame. Tom Zachery was the winning hurler. The Phillies ended their losing streak at five straight with a 5 to 4 victory over Cincinnati. Chuck Klein's ninth-inning homer, driving in Dick Bartel ahead of him, was the winning blow. New York's Yankees nosed out the St. Louis Browns, 6 to 5, home runs by Bill Dickey and Ben Chapman accounting for four Yankee tallies. Debs Garms contributed a Brownie four-bagger. Exhausted after their hard" rhreegame series, both Cleveland and Washington lost to other clubs, remaining deadlocked for second place in the standing. Chicago crushed the Senators, 10 to 1, advancing to half a game of the tied pair. Cleveland bowed to Philadelphia. 9 to 2, the A.'s scoring all their runs in the first five frames.

U. S. Netters to Play Argentine By United Press MONTREAL, May 20.—With the series clinched, Ellsworth Vines and Wilmer Allison hoped to give the United States a five-match sweep over Canada today by winning the two closing singles contests of the North American zone Davis cup final. Vines was opposed to Dr. Jack Wright, Canadian veteran. Allison matched strokes with Gilbert Nunns. The American doubles tandem, George Lott and John Van Ryn, won Friday to give the United States team the right to meet Argentina next week at Washington in the inter-zone final.

] Some time when you are at the | ringside, pause to listen to this eerie orchestra of human passion. It may increase your respect for the zoo. n n n CHOCOLATE came into the ring with a bathrobe that matched his skin. His hair was slicked down. After the first flurry of punches his creased hair stood up in black needle points, like the back of a disturbed porcupine. There is a strange quality of sadness about his eyes, as if he had a distaste for the sport. Never does the expression change. An elderly gentleman who hobbled and carried a cane accompanied Watson into the ring. Between rounds he climbed up on the floor of the pit, draped his cane over the top rope, and talked quietly, earnestly to the fighter. Once he pulled out a flask and gave him a swig of something—brandy, I suppose.

With Fuqua in the 220-yard dash and the quarter mile, Hornbostel qualifying in the half mile and an even choice in the mile, Busbee's unexpected showing jn the discus, Watson the favorite in the two mile, and added points in the shot, pole vault, and mile relay, Indiana rates an even chance with Michigan. Besides Ward, the Wolverines bank on Aggleston in the hurdles, Kemp in the 220, Deßaker in the Turner in the half, Howell in the mile, and the mile relay team. Jack Keller, Ohio State's fleet barrier skimmer, is a top heavy choice in both hurdle events. Illinois has top strength in Lenington and Seeley for the pole vault, Cook and Kamm for the shot put and Woolsey in the mile. Purvis of Purdue splintered the record by heaving the javeline 208 feet, 5 1 4 inches in the trials Friday, a mark he will try to better today. The old mark was 207 feet, 7% inches. Indiana got away to an expected start when Noble Biddinger w<on the hammer throw Friday, with a heave of 161 feet, 4 inches, just short of the record. The event will be discarded in the future.

A Hard Job Babe Promises Homer Today for Six Orphan Heroes.

By United Press NEW YORK, May 20. Babe Ruth needs a horns run today. He has promised to clout one over the fence for six orphan boys who saved a train from being wrecked in a washout. They will be the Bambino's guests at Yankee stadium, sitting in a front row box. Babe tendered his invitation to the boys personally at the Orphans’ Home in Passaic, N. J„ Friday. Too breathless and excited to return Ruth's greeting, the six stood silent until after Babe shook hands with each and told them he had “fixed it” for them to see today’s game. After several gulps, one of the six, found his voice. “Gee, Babe, that's swell,” he said. “Will you knock a home run for us?” •‘I promise to hit a home run especially for you,” Ruth replied, then turning to Mrs. Emma McCrea, matron, he confided: “It'll be one of the deepest regrets of my liffe if I don't send one into the stands for this gang. Wish me luck, Mrs. McCrea.”

This was Charley Harvey, a Broadway institution, and long associated with British fighters in their American exploits. When the decision was made he came over to the press box. • What was wrong with my fighter?" he asked. "Why didn't he win?" Someone suggested that he didn't hit hard or often enough.. "I think that is true,” he commented gravely. "I was afraid that he was not fighting with enough spirit. Perhaps he will do better next time.” Not a word of criticism, and yet several of the critics thought the Britisher was entitled to more than he got. A couple thought he won.

20 Pilots May Take Qualification Trials Today’s Battle for Pole Position to End at 6:58 P. M.: Sunday's Tests From 10 A. M. to 6:59 P. M.; Triplett First to Qualify. BY NORMAN E. ISAAC S Pre-qualification action at the Speedway ended in a bustle of activity late Friday and today was to see between seventeen and twenty cars attempt to pass the time trials for the 500-mile race Memorial day. A dozen cars appeared on the bricks Friday after a morning and early afternoon of inactivity. The drivers and mechanics were busy putting on the finishing touches before placing final approval on their gasoline buggies. Trials started at 8 this morning and were to continue until 7.58 this evening. Sunday's qualification tests will begin at 10 in the morning and last until 6:59 p. m. To qualify, cars must travel 100 miles an hour or more for twentyfive miles, or ten laps. Sixty-three cars are entered and only forty-two will be allowed to start.

Th° lastest qualuiea today and Sunday will be awarded the coveted pole position, the second fastest the No. 2 post in the first row, and so on. in rows of three. As the trials started, the railbirds believed that the battle for the pole position lay between Ernie Triplett, the blonde California speedster, and Frank Brisko, the Milwaukee garage owner. Triplett became the first to qualify for the race when he averaged 117.658 miles an hour for ten laps early this morning. His time lor the twenty-five miles was 12 minutes 44.93 seconds. Brisko is driving a four-wheel drive Miller, Triplett drove a spanking new four-cylinder Miller. Both have plenty of speed. For the No. 3 position in the front row, many oi the railbirds leaned to the idea that it would fall to Bill Cummings, Indianapolis racer, who will drive a Boyle Products Special, an eight. Louis Meyer, in a Miller eight, is looked upon as a real threat for the pole. Meyer, it is said, has the stuff in his car and may win the pole, if he takes an idea to do so. tt n Colonel Eddie V.
