By Eddie AsE Plans Are ( hanged on All-Star Teams m m m Send Selections to Chicago. Is Advice

Times has decided against publishing an entry blank to fill out by fans who care to enter the “game of the century” big league selections for the feature World Fair tilt at Chicago, July 6, and entrants are advised to send their choice of teams to the sports editor, Box 1718, Chicago Tribune. Write on one side of paper only and the earlier you get your player choices in, the better chance you will have for the several cash prizes offered by the Tribune. The Times at first planned to poll this territory and relay the selections to Chicago, but now believes it will be to the best advantage of the fans to mail their team choices direct to the Tribune.

a a a Pick Your Own Teams AN all-star American League . team chosen by the fans of the country on a consensus vote basis, will battle in the charity game on July 6 against an all-star National League club selected by the nation’s fandom. Three pitchers and two catchers will be named for each team. There will be six infielders honored on each club and four outfielders. Offhand, the following sample lineups, picked at random, to serve as a guide, will give the fans an idfa of the manner in which to make and mail their choices to the Chicago Tribune to the box number listed above: AMERICAN I.EAGI E Pilchor*—Cirove, Philadelphia; (iomez, Nfw York; Hildebrand. Cleveland. Catchers—Dickey, New York Cochrane, Philadelphia. First llase—(ehrig. New York. Second Rase—Oehringer, Detroit. Third Rase —low, Philadelphia. Shortstop—Cronin, Washington.

Outfielder—Klein, Philadelphia; O'Doul, Brooklyn; Paul Wancr, Pittsburgh; Berger, Rosto n. Rrmrmbrr, these are only sample selections. Pick your own favorites for the two teams and various positions. a a a That McPhail Removal 'T'ALKING out of turn now seems I to bp the main reason Larry MacPhail was dismissed as president of the league-leading Columbus Red Birds. There have been a lot of guesses on the subject and the whole league, as a matter of fact, was surprised in no uncertain way when the man who revived baseball interest in Columbus “got the gate." Moreover, it is said MacPhail also was an expensive proxy on top of his outspoken manner and the St. Louis Cardinal chain officials intimated profits at. Columbus were below expectations. The Birds attracted tremendous crowds last year and were doing well this season considering bad weather. It seems the MacPhail trouble started when Burgess Whitehead, star second sacker, was taken from the Birds by the Cardinals. It is said Larry opposed the transfer of Whitehead and then boasted about compelling the parent club to give him five mainstay players in the deal. This led to reports that St. Louis decided he was no "organization" man. a a a Farewell to Hannagan IP the annual five-century merry-go-round cut at the local "roaring way" on May 30 moves as fast as the "Farewell to Hannagan' party Wednesday night the 500-mile record books will have to be rewritten. Speed was the topic and speed was the theme song, and at times the funtest sounded like a rhythm club going full blast. The management of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway staged the banquet in honor of Steve Hannagan, 500-mile publicity director for fourteen years, and a galaxy of Steve's friends were on hand to gab, sing and i>op off. Hannagan will leave his international sweepstakes assignment after this yea - 'a race and join the Lord fc Thomas advertising agency in New York, a big firm that most Hoosiers figure soon will be known as Lord, Thomas Ar Hannagan. Anyway, it was a grand evening for the popular Steve and he was t Ire recipient of several tokens of appreciation piesented by his local newspaper friends and the Speedway. T. E. iTopi Myers, general manager of t lie Speedway, made such an eloquent speech that, for a time the listening scribes "feared" Hannagan would chuck his job with Lord <Y Thomas and remain in Indianapolis.

Michigan will be met Friday at Ann Arbor In the windup contest of the Big Ten race Wilshere is slated to pitch for Indiana. Michigan State will be played at Lansing Saturday and the season ending will be played against Indiana State at Terre Haute Monday.

a a a Peck Is on Spot Roger peckinpaugh, the old shortstop, who is manager of the Cleveland Americans, heard harsh words Wednesday. He had a visitor in the person of Alva Bradley, president of the club, and Prexy Bradley made a speech, in part, as follows: "If we don’t win under you, well have to try some one else.” Bradley is not given to making speeches to the club pilot and it looks like Peck is out on a limb. His team has lost seven of eight games on the current eastern road trip. In giving Feck the sharp command, Bradley poured a little banana oil with the statement: "I feel you have the ability to be a successful manager, but results from now on must speak for themselves." Looks like the boys will have to turn in early at night and bounce out for morning practice. n a a The Louisville Colonels “got nowhere" with their protest on the gams with Indianapolis last Friday. Manager Betzel claimed Tom Angley made an illegal catch of a foul, but League Prexy Hickey upheld the opinion of the umpires, and the game stands as played. a a a On "Appreciation night” at Perry stadium Saturday the pass list wiil be suspended entirely, with no exceptions. Women will be admitted free to the grand stand, however, and no tax. O'Neil Signed for Armory Go Speedy O'Neil of Shelbyville has been signed to meet Jack Wilcox of Columbus, 0.. in one of the supporting bouts of Friday night’s mat show at the Armory. Sailor Murphy of Ft. Wayne will meet Bill Honeycutt of this city in another of the supporting matches, while Jack Scott will return to tangle with Marion Mackey off Columbus, 0.. in the opener. Coach Billy Thom of Indiana university is to clash with Cyclone Burns of Miami, Fla., in the feature. Burns claims the southern midleweight championship. This will be for best two in three falls. The semi-windup, also for best two in three, will bring together Cliff Kauffman and Johnny Carlin. Yankee Cuppers Face Argentine By t nited Press WASHINGTON.

Terry Ready to Play Again —But Where? Giants’ Manager Recovers From Broken Wrist but Finds His First Base Substitute, Sam Leslie, Playing Bang-Up Game; Bill Stumped. BY JACK CUDDY United Tress Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, May 25. —The best baseball drama of the season is nearing a finale. After a month's absence with a shattered right wrist, Manager Bill Terry is ready to return to the New York Giants' first base, but like a modern Enock Arden, he finds the position wedded to his substitute. Sam Leslie. Terry is stumped! Shall he, the outstanding first baseman in the National League, give

way to a chap he tried to peddle off during the winter, and start chasing flies in the outfield? Or shall he, the manager responsible for his team's pennant progress, bench Leslie who is batting around .310? "Memphis Bill" had a batting percentage of .207 when one of JoJe Shaute’s slants struck him on April 24. The Giants were at second place then, and they're at second place now, but Leslie’s brilliant play has been an important factor in keeping them there. Terry returned to the diamond Wednesday as a pinch hitter and, assisted by infielder Adam’s error, drove in the only New York run in the seventh as Cincinnati beat the Giants 3 to 1. Leslie tripled twice, but was marooned each time. The Reds advanced to fifth place and the idle Boston Braves to fourth as Brooklyn dropped out of first division into sixth position by bowing to the leading Pittsburgh Pirates, 6 to 5. in ten innings. Adam Comoro-

Terry

sky's pinch-hit single in the tenth drove in Tony Piet with the winning run. A1 Lopez made a homer for Brooklyn in the second with two aboard. Home runs by Lonnie Warneke and Gabby Hartnett enabled Chicago to beat the Phillies, 5 to 2. Warneke held the Phils to eight hits, one a homer by Chuck Klein in the ninth.

The idle Chicago White Sox replaced Washington at second position in the American League when Detroit downed the Senators, 3 to 1, behind Tom Bridges’ one-hit pitching. Joe Kuhel's eighth-inning home run prevented a no-hit game. Philadelphia turned in its sixth straight victory by beating St. Louis, 7 to 4. The game was called in the sixth because of rain.

LJ. S, C., Stanford to Battle for /. C. A, A. A. A. Title at Harvard

BV JOE WILLIAMS New York World-Telegram Sports Editor NEW YORK, May 25. Since Man O War went to the pastures and Eobby Jones hung un Calamity Jane, sport has known but one sure thing—and that is California's superiority at track and field. Friday, the Californians assemble at the Harvard stadium to compete in the fifty-seventh annual intercollegiate orgy of sprinting, jumping, hurdling and heaving. The competition will be nationwide. That is, it will be in theory. In fact, it will be an exclusive duel between Stanford and Southern California. On the turf, the price would be 10 to 1 that either the Cardinals or the Trojans win. All the other teams will be mere kibitzers. The popular explanation of the consistent success of the Californians is that the weather out there permits of all-year practice with the result that track and field stars just naturally develop faster and in greater numbers than anywhere else. Possibly this is so. If I were an eastern or a western coach, I certainly would be eager to admit that such indeed is the case. After all. a coach can not be expected to beat nature. Once in a while the Californians are smacked around. They didn't look so good in the Olympics. But in these intercollegiates, they always are tough. And sometimes they are tougher. a a a IF any of the kibitzers make it close, it willbe Yale. There are some formidable men on the New Haven squad. Notably Browm, the pole-vaulter. and Warner, the runner. The Elis have an outside chance, but it is liable to be so far outside as to extend to Nova Scotia, with practically no stopovers. The dope. then, is that Southern California and Stanford have come all the way across the continent to settle an issue that could have been settled just as satisfactorily under the palms in their own back yard.

INDIANAPOLIS, THURSDAY, MAY 25, 1933

Dutra Defends Open Crown By United Press NEW YORK, May 25. Olin Dutra, 210-pound professional from California, defended his metropolitan open golf championship against eighty rivals today as the 72-hole medal play competition opened at the Winged Foot club. Although the field lacks the brilliance of former years, many notables are entered. One 18-hole round was slated for today and another for Friday, when the field will be reduced for the final 36-hole test on Saturday.

I But maybe people like to get away from California at times. Notre Dame did last winter, though they tell me that's the best time of the year to be there. Southern California won the intercollegiates last summer for the third straight time w'ith a recordbreaking point score. It wall be a surprise to the experts if the Trojans repeat. Men like Wycoff and Barber are gone. Stanford looks stronger. The Cardinals figure to sweep the boards in the shot-put and discus. Potentially, they start off w-ith 24 points in the kittty. That would be a lot of points on a porcupine's back. a a a , "PERSONALLY. I don’t care much about seeing a team win that way. I mean, I don't see mucn sense in heaving a cannonball through the air or pitching a pie ! plate for distance. Suppose you do j throw' it farther than anybody else —w'hat of it? Some humble sopho-, j more has to go and fetch it back, j Now' it mignt be different if you | had someone down at the end of j the field catching the cannonball Son the run barehanded, and it cerj tainly W'ould be the neatest trick jof the day if you could serve a j Spanish omelette on the pie plate I intact for a record-breaking disj tance. There would be a practical future in it, too. Getting bacic to the stadium, one event that should yank the boys off j the chairs is the pole vault, an I event which brings together four 1 14 footers, mere than ever before appeared on the same field. The field includes Bill Graber, Southern California, 14 feet, 4% inches; Keith Brown. Yale, 14. Bill Miller, Stanford. 14. 1 7 S . and Bud Deacon, Stanford, 14. There | was a time, and not so far back, when 13 feet was sensational vault - | ing. The boys are constantly going higher. It won't be long before they | will be hitting 14, 6 regularly. You can’t keep a good man down. I Additional Sport Page 14

Railbirds Like Their Chances

Louis Meyer

TWO of the most highly regarded drivers in the 500-mile race are Louis Meyer, 1928 winner, and Dave Evans, famed pilot of the experimental Diesel car a few years ago. Meyer, who has one of the fastest machines in the race, a Tydol Special, entered by the Troy Oil Company, local distributor for the Tidewater Oil Company, already has qualified his mount and is ready for race action. Evans, pilot of the Art Rose Special, is scheduled to qualify this afternoon. His car is said to be capable of a speed of around 112 miles an hour.
