By Eddie Ash Max Baer Is No Jeffries to King Nets m mm \. A. Prexy Has Some Probing on Hand
T m: ballyhoo scriveners employed by Jack Dempsey to build up fan interest in the heavyweight scrap on June 8 in New York between Max Baer and Max Schmeling are endeavoring to tickle the public by describing Baer as another James J. Jeffries, “lie’s following in the footsteps of old Jim,” they say. It’s going to be difficult to get that impression over, however, especially with the old-timers among ring goers. Jeffries was known as the California Grizzly, whereas Baer is tagged the California Adonis and Sheik, all of which makes a big difference with the fistic graybeards who lay it on the line to see big fights. No sheik is going to supplant “Jeff" in their minds. He was rough and tough. He could take it and give it and he climbed the title ladder by smacking over about the best group of heavyweight timber in history.
r pHE Jeffries that met and last to A Jack .Johnson was not the real "Jeff He had been ofit of the ring, out of training and leading the easy life in retirement for several years belore smart promoters got busy and induced and prodded him to return to the game. Baer possesses a good punch and his -ecord stands up well, but the ring 'sharps as a whole do not rate hint the master ol Schmeling. There may be an upset, but at tins stage of tlje preparations in the rival training camps reports point to a victory for the German on form. Dempsey will be pulling hard for a win for Baer on account of the tact the Californian flashes more crowd appeal and probably would be a better attraction than Schmeling, in later fights, with Sharkey or Carnera. New York hears the German boxing a sociation has ordered Schmeling to break with his manager, Joey Jacobs, after the match with Baer, and in that event the Teuton may I have trouble obtainin important fights around New Yorl tt tt tt IT'S about time for Prexy Tom j Hickey of the Amei can Association to wield the big stick and curb the night, life escapades of some of his ball players. Art Shires of the Red Birds and Jimmy Adair of the Colonels are going to have a sweet job explaining the affair in Louisville that resulted in several arrests. The fans will stand for a lot, of horse play on the field and light fisticuffs now and then, but when the boys take up hoodlum tactics the reaction is bound to be unpleasant. Shires and Adair will be suspended indefinitely, but perhaps a fine will serve as the better cure. Columbus obtained Shires to attract the customers through the gate, but if la* is permitted to run hog wild the fans may take a notion to remain away from the games in which he appears. Moreover, members of different teams in the same league arc not supposed to chase around together at night. It's not to the best interest of baseball for “enemy” players to become pals of the evening.

to Continue Record Try Despite Injury
B J.\C K CUDDY I'nited I‘rrvs St.iff l orrfspondfnt WYORK May 27.—Chalk up another narrow escape for hungry Lou Gehrig—the chap who’s called the lucKiest man in baseball, not because he survives repasts on pickled eels, tut because he sheds injuries like an armoured cruiser. Coincidental accidents Friday to Gehrig and Jimmy Foxx, the other ace first bas man of the American League, emphasized Gehrig’s charmed career. One of the maivels of modern baseball, he has oc-
IT has been rumored that President Hickey has asked to inspect 1 the pay roll of the league leading Columbus Red Birds. At any rate Columbus seems to be nervous over the report, especially if there is a probe of wages paid Art Shires, Wilson, Lindsey and Slade. The American Association salary limit is $6,500 a month for the entire ball club and the player limit is eighteen men. The guess is that the Birds found a way to “beat the agreement” by placing certain players on the inactive list when they weren't needed for immediate action. At one time this month Columbus had four players "suspended,” pitchers Blake and Judd, infieider Narlesky and outfielder Lebourveau, inactive but still drawing pay. tt tt tt ONE often wonders if the public realizes that the depression also side-swiped the newspaper fraternity as it crashed over the land, leaving in its path a lot of soiled white collars and broken ambitions. Anyway, Belmont park. New York, one of the world’s most beautiful horse race courses, will be the scene of a benefit day of racing lor "unemployed people of the press” on Monday, June 8, the United Press reports. The Long island track has been given over to a committee of prominent New York newspaper men headed by Irvin S. Cobb, as honorary chairman, through the courtesy of Joseph E.

Two Days Remain for 500 -Mile Speed Tests A. A. A. Chief Sets 7:04 P. M. Sunday as*Deadline, With Twelve Places Open for Twenty Remaining Cars; * Five Qualify on Friday. BY NORMAN L. ISAACS No car will be qualified after 7:04 p. m. t mday, it was announced officially today by W. D. Eddie) Edenburn, chic steward of the A. A. A., in charge of the Indianapolis 500-mile race which will be held on Tuesday. At noon today, thirty cars were qualified and trials this afternoon were to be held between the hours of 7 and 7:03. Sunday's trials tentatively have been set for the same hours, but may be moved up to noon if the field still left to qualify warrants the change.,Edenburn said. • If a driver has not qualified his car by 7:04 Sunday, it’s his hard luck,” declared Edenburn. "The boys have had nine days get their cars ready and if they can't get in shape now, they're never going to
be in shape ” With thirty of the forty-two places filled, there are about twenty cars anxious + o take a crack at filling the remaining twelve positions. If more than forty-two do qualify, the slowest will be eliminated. Hoosier rilot in Crash Crackups this week have made a type of elimination trial, three cars having hit the wall thus far. A1 Aspen smacked up early in the week; William (Speed) Gardner was injured seriously late Thursday, and Friday, Virgil Livingood, Hammond (Ind.) pilot went over the inner guard rail at exactly the same spot where Gardner smashed Thursday. The car turned an end-for-end loop on its ninth lap of its qualification, but neither Livingood nor Laddie Erbin, the riding mechanic, were so much as scratched. Kelly Petillo in the Yahr-Miller Special turned in tlje fastest qualifying round Friday, averaging 113.037 miles an hour. Kelly turned in ten consistent laps and every day proves himself a better chauffeur. Argentine Qualifies Wesley Crawford took the time test in the Boyle Valve car. qualifying at 109.862 miles an hour. Wes' fastest lap was his fifth when lie turned one at 111.001 miles an hour. Raoul Riganti, the Argentine, finally cracked through and qualified his Golden Seal Special at 108.081 miles an hour. Riganti appears to have found his groove on the track and drove the bricks smoothly and confidently. Gene Haustein qualified the Mart/ Special, after two failures because of motor trouble, at a speed of 107.603. His trial was the most consistent of the whole thirty. Here’s how his ten laps read: 107.553, 107.488. 147.553, 107.694, 107.476, 107.733, 107.784, 107.540, 107.347 and 107.862. Sam Palmer in the R. and R. Cam Special qualified Lis mount at 1C5.998 miles an hour to end the afternoon's activities. a tt tt The track will be closed Monday for its washing of the oil and crease. On Tuesday morning it will shine bright and clean. At the 10ft-mile-an-hour mark It w’ill be black again. The driver’s meeting will be held at 1 Monday afternoon. Edenburn announced. Georgie Howie, who withdrew his race ear from this year's race, nut himself to work this year and so Perfect Circle can boast of an extraordinary achievement. George boasts a 100 ner cent record in Perfect Circle rings at the track. Now-, all he has to do is sit back and watch the race. One of the features of Sunday's oualifications will be a tire changing contest by nit crews. Top prize is SHIP. solid cash, second prize, SSO and third prize, $35. ’Tis rumored that Fred Frame and Pete Kreis have entered as a team. And they say Fred really can change a tire in split seconds. Peter DePaoio. winner of the 1925 500mile race, and former holder of the 500mile record, visited the Speedway and stODiv and to see the boys in the press pal soda. Pete looks great. Joe Turnesa Retains Lead By United Press MAMARONECK. N.

Talking It Over
BY JOE WILLIAMS New York World-Telegram Sports Editor IAM a bit bewildered. I came out here in an airplane to see an automobile race in a region where the horse is king, and so I ask you, in a confused world, does this make for simplicity? Because the sweep and movement of life should be made plain, I add that people prefer speed in transportation, that this is the center of automobile racing that, only a few miles away, is Kentucky, the cradle of the breeding industry. I hope you will not be too precise in your analysis when I say that it seems strange to me that the three combinations of transportation with which this generation is familiar are grouped together in a. sort of fraternal relationship. Maybe the horse has really come to stay. n tx tt WHEN the ship landed the first person I met was Steven Jerome O'Hannagan, who seems to be Mr. Indianapolis himself. This seemed nice enough. few moments later in the company of Henry McLemore, United Press correspondent, I found myself squirming under the pressure of a police captain. “We want you,” the gentleman said. "Who wouldn’t?” I answered, with no attempt at ego. “Take this guy's picture,” demanded the captain. This had never happened to me before. What had I done? To be sure I had picked Dempsey to beat Tunney, but so had many others and up to now nobody had insisted that it was a violation of the criminal code. ‘‘ls this your first 500 mile race?” asked the captain, and there was no mistaking his severity. Then it dawned on me. Everybody 7 in America is supposed to see the 500-mile race before he grows a grey beard. My offense against the normal scheme of things was that I had waited until I had seen everything else before I decided to come out here. ■ tt o a TN no time at all I found myself ■1- at the track where the king of giound speed is annually crowned. There is no other place like it in America. The track is two and a half miles long. The wooden grandstands and bleachers cover at least a mile of the space, by far the longest seating* arrangement in this country. Back of it all are tall trees through which a late spring breeze sighs mournful lyrics. When I arirved, some of the drivers were Still trying to qualify. To qualify you must drive your car ten times around this brick surface track at a speed of more than 100 miles an hour. I hadn’t been at the track more than five minutes when a wave of hysteria swept the stands, only sparsely populated during the trials. At the No. 4 turn—coming into the home stretch—a car had skidded and gone into the rails. There is always a dramatic, morbid uncertainty when a car going at top speed skids on this track, people stand on tiptoes and crane necks. All is silence. Anybody hurt? Anybody killed? You never can tell at the moment. nan THROUGH an exit gate, first, comes a fire engine truck. This in itself is enough to cause a cynic to question the morals of an auto race driver. Next comes an ambulance. Then a conventional motor car carrying the officials of the track. For some reason they do not go directly to the scene of the crash. They circle the track. There is a one-way drive rule here. Fatality must bow to formality. In this instance there is no fatality, not even a casuality. A driver by the name of Virgil Liven - good of Hammond, Ind., has had the misfortune to lose control of his car coming off the turn into the stretch. His car skids and crashes into what they call the "bumping rail." a heavy wooden barrier at equi-distance with the hub of the car. Livingood—what is there in a name?—bangs into the wooden barrier. splinters it to toothpicks, destroys his car. but in some miraculous manner he and his mechanic are unhurt They get into the officials’ car. drive back past the mam grandstand, wave to the spectators that they are all right and get cut.
