APRIL 27,1934

Superb Field Enters Drake Relay Events Ray Sears, Vines Murphy to Represent Hoosier Institutions. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY 1 mud Prin Staff Crrr*pondent DES MOINES, la., April 27 —The field for the silver anniversary of the Drake relays today and tomorrow Ls big and cla*fy. There are 3,000 athletes entered, and at least twenty-five of this group are champioas with Olympic possibilities for the 1936 games at Berlin. Eight athletes who hold seventeen national championships are among this huge gathering recruited from the midwest, far west and south. Coach Franklin P Johnson of Drake, director of the carnival, describes the field as the greatest in the twenty-five-year history of the games, which were started by Major Griffith, who has seen every Drake relay carnival with the exception of 1919. when he was in the army, will serve as honorary referee. A. A. Stagg Is the only other man to be honored twice in this capacity. 3,000-Piece Rand Plays Preliminaries were scheduled today in practically all of the relays and track events and four of the six field events. A 3.000-piece band said to be the largest ever gathered in this country, will play tomorrow during the finals and the coronation of the carnival beauty queen, Martha Stull, 19-year-old blueeyed blond from Northwestern university. Among the leading athletes entered are Ralph Metcalfe, Mar- ! quette Negro and "world's fastest human”; Willis Ward, Michigan's all-round Negro star; Jack Torrance, Louisiana States stalwart shot-putter; Heye Lambertus, Nebraska's ace hurdler; Ray Sears, Butler's great two-miler, and Vincent Murphy, Notre Dame high! jumper. Expert Fast Relays There are only a few of the top- , notchers. Fifteen sprinters entered in the 100-yard dash have records ranging from 9.4 to 9.8. Twelve high jumpers have cleared from 6 to 6 feet 7 inches. More than fifteen high hurdlers have negotiated the 120-yard high hurdles under fifteen seconds. A dozen two-milers have times ranging from 9:07 to 9:48. Four shot-putters have bettered the meet record of 50.72 feet, and two have bettered the world's record of 53 feet 'g inch. In a practice throwyesterday Torrance tossed the shot 55 feet 8 inches. Two of the fastest relays ever run in the Drake games are expected to develop in the mile and 880-yard events. Every Big Ten school ex- j cept Indiana has a mile team ! entered. In the half-mile relay j Marquette's great quahet, anchored by Metcalfe, will race against the University of Texas team, which ran the event last week in the Kansas relays in 1:26.3, only half a second off the American record. There are thirty-one universities, forty-two colleges and seventy prep schools entered, including U. C. L. A., Washington State, Pomona (California) from the far west, and Louisiana State, national eollegiate champions. Report Parmelee as Doing Nicely NEW YORK.

Gallant Mac’s Maiden Era May Be Over After Kentucky Derby

/ ; , ... 4 \ % * ’ M * % ® * ,

BY MAX RIDDLE 'Copyright. 1934. NEA Service. Inc.) RACING for Kentucky Derby honors under the lavender and purple of the Audley Farms will be Bernard B. Jones’ Gallant Mac. Gallant Mac is a maiden, w-ith total earnings of only SIOO, that amount being garnered by a second to the Man o’ War colt, Identify, himself a Derby candidate. But Gallant Mac only started twice and on his second trip was only a nead behind Identify.

‘Lord’ Finnegan in Headline Go With Duke Ruppenthal Welterweights Tangle on Tomlinson Hall Bill Tonight. TONIGHT’S CARD Main Event—“ Lord" Patrick Lansdoune Finnegan, British welter, vs. Duke Ruppenthal, Milwaukee welter, two out of three falls; one and one-half hours' time limit. Semifinal—Johnny (Swede) Carlin. Indianapolis, vs. Harry Burris, Anderson, middleweight*; two out of three falls; forty-five-minute limit. Prelim—Dan Bray. Indianapolis, vs. John Purdy, Anderson, middleweight*; one fall: thirty-minute limit. Place—Tomlinson hall; time, 8:30; referee, Bud Westfall. Two of the most skillful of the lighter weight wrestlers in the nation will tangle tonight In the main go on promoter Jimmy McLemore’s weekly card in Tomlinson hall. With almost identical records, Pat Finnegan. British welterweight, and Duke Ruppenthal of Milwaukee, will go for two out of three falls, with an hour and a half time limit, in the headline bout of the show. In the semi-final, Johnny (Swede) Carlin will return to Indianapolis from a tour of the eastern mat rings to meet Harry Bu-ris of Anderson. in a middleweight scrap for two out of three falls, with a fortyfive minute limit. Dan Bray, local grappler, and John Purdy Anderson, will open the show- with a one-fall bout with a thirty-minute limit. Tonight's frolic will be Carlin's only appearance in the local ring. McLemore said today, explainnig that he worked the Swede into this show only because Carlin had come home for a short visit with his family, and will return to the east within a few days. The Finnegan-Ruppenthal match was expected to be one of the best drawing cards of any of the Tomlinson hall shows this season, inasmuch at it pits two prominent title contenders in their first meeting. BUTLER NINE FACES FRANKLIN PASTIMERS Butler and Franklin college baseball teams will meet this afternoon in Franklin in the only tilt carded this week for coach Tony Hinkle's Bulldog pastimers. Karl Sutphin was due to <>a\v the mound assignment for the Blue, wi(h George Zimmerman behind the bat. Minus the services of four stars who are entered in the Drake relays, the Butler track squad will engage Earlham in a dual meet in Fainiew tomorrow.

Audley Farms expects big things of this colt. He is by Bright Knight, out of Ethel Grey, by Hessian, and thus a full brother to the noted Gallant Knight. The latter, it will be remembered, was second in the Derby to Gallant Fox. att a WISHING to honor John J. McGraw, the late ..manager of the Giants, Audley Farms decided to name its most promising youngster in his honor. The bay son of Bright Knight was selected. Names of the Audley Farms’ greatest campaigner and that of McGraw were then combined to form Gallant Mac. Asa further idea of the opinion Audley Farms has of the son of Bright Knight, the writer remembers enthusing over the two Audley stars. Trey and Signalman. The later was, at that time, an unbeaten stakes winner of three races. But trainer Patterson remained unimpressed , explaining that he had a colt, namely Gallant Mac, that could run rings around Signalman and Trey. a tt tt THAT Patterson still is of the same opinion would seem to be indicated by the fact that he failed to name either Trey or Signalman for the Derby, preferring to place his faith upon his maiden colt. However, Gallant Mac still is a maiden and his worth must be proven by actual racing. Many a well-regarded horse fails to materialize as a championship contender when April gives way to May and the Derby. In a sense, the bad winter has been an advantage to Gallant Mac. He received very little work last year, was retired early, now is running soundly and is developed more than most of his competitors. While other horses have been delayed in their training by the long and bitter winter of the north. Gallant Mac has had an easy time of it in the comparatively warmer climate of Virginia.

THE municipal courses were opened two weeks ago, but most of the country clubs have withheld inaugural festivities until this week-end. Meridian Hills, Indianapolis Country Club, Woodstock and Highland men have arranged programs for tomorrow. One thing in common among them will be the day's windup to the table. Steaks will await the appetites the early spring tramp over the links is certain to develop.

At Meridian Hills the men will | choose up sides, with Earl Beck and Bill Howard as captains. Efforts will be made to divide the players according to handicaps as even as possible—after all there is much at "steak.” The losers will foot the dinner bill for the winners. 000 THE annual stag dinner, a rollickin’, frocklin’ affair, again will be on tap at Highland. The regular features well known to Highlar.dcn all are booked again this year. The Ringer tournament, which annually extends from opening day until Sept. 29 with the John Madden cup at stake, will open. Ball sweepstakes and other side issues will be initiated. Highlanders who can possibly be there seldom miss the opening day. 000 THE spring handicap tournament at Indianapolis Country Club opened Wednesday and will close Sunday. Flights of sixteen each will be formed from the scores turned in. The annual beefsteak dinner will be held tomorrow and should lure quite a few of the members out in the afternoon to try for the handicap test. 000 WOODSTOCK members will open their season, too, with play for the Edwin H. Forrey cup, the usual lid-lifting event each year. Hillcrest opened up last week. 000 EACH Thursday will be ladies' day at the I. C. C. with play between the club members on the first and fourth Thursdays and guest days on the second Thursday of each month. The opening play will be next week. 000 THE women’s city championship will be held at Speedway this year, opening on Monday, June 18, The state tournament for the feminine players will be held at South Bend Country Club, Chain O’ Lakes, July 9-14, inclusive. 000 THE Indianapolis Women’s Golf Association has carded four events this year.
