N ew YORK, May 14.—There is another Bobby Jones in the headlines. This Bobby Jones isn’t a golfer. He is a jockey. He rode High Quest to victory in the Preakness at Pimlico over the week-end. The salient facts of the race are pretty well known by now to followers of the turf. But I don t believe the fact that this Bobby Jones wasn’t supposed to win is so well known. He was to set the pace, wear down the contention and open the way for Cavalcade. You see High Quest and Cavalcade are stable mates, owned by Mrs. Dodge Sloane. and trained by the veteran Bob Smith. The week before Cavalcade had won the Derby. Turfmen consider it a rare distinction to win both the Derby and the Preakness with the same colt. Only three have ever done it—Sir Barton. Gallant Fox and Burgoo King. So when it came race time trainer Smith declared to win with Cavalcade rather than High Quest. When a stable is represented b> two or more starters in the same race the laws of the turf demand that the trainer must specify which hoss he intends to win with. So far as the betting is concerned, of course, it makes no difference. Bets are made on the entry, not the individual representatives. tt a a tt o b WELL, when Trainer Smith called his two riders together for a conference before the race he said to this Bobby Jones, “Now you get out in front with High Quest and run the field dizzy, and when Mack yells at you to let him through you pull over and give him plenty of racing room. Understand?’* The Mack the trainer referred to was Mack Garner who had ridden Cavalcade home first in the Derby. This Bobbv Jones, a frail, swarthy. 21-vear-oldster who was born of Spanish and Irish parentage, nodded his head in understanding, got up on High Quest and rode him out on the track. Just what his thoughts were at the time I have no way of knowing. But they must have been somewhat dark and unhappy. Every jockey wants to vnn the Derby and next to the Derby he wants to win the Preakness. And here is this Bobby Jones sitting on one of the best 3-year-olds in the country with better than an even chance to win a celebrated race and his instructions are that he must not win. a st a tt tt tt ANYWAY the rare presently gets under way and this Bobby Jones following his instructions to the letter hustles High Quest to the front. At the quarter he is leading the field by a full length. At the half he is still setting the pace. His position is unchanged at the three-quar-ter pole and he is still on top as the field of seven starts the run down the stretch. From time to time you see this Bobby Jones take quick, jerky looks over his shoulder. What he is looking for of course is Calvalcade. Cavalcade has come up from sixth, to fifth, to fourth and turning into the stretch he is running head and head with Discovery. At this time it is impossible for anybody to tell whether Cavalcade is going to be able to pull away from Discovery or not. The Vanderbilt colt is running strongly and it looks as if he might yet be able to catch the leader. You see Garner repeatedly apply the lash to Cavalcade in an effort to bring him up with one final closing surge. tt tt tt * OVER his shoulder this Bobby Jones sees all this, too, and then he does what any other jockey would have done in the same circumstances. He sets his colt down and starts out for home with all the skill and power at his command. If Cavalcade can’t make it, then High Quest must. Cavalcade finally pulls away from Discovery, but by now the race is practically over. In two more strides High Quest has passed the line the winner with Cavalcade breathing the hot breath of frustration in his ear. You would expect that a young man who had just riddeit his first Preakness winner would be bursting with song and joy. On the contrary. thus Bobby Jones was quite crestfallen, so crestfallen that he didn t even wait for the jubilation ceremonies after the race. I had a long talk with him coming back on the train. “I hope Mr. Smith won t feel too badly about Cavalcade not winning, he said. I tried to do everything he told me, but whfn Cavalcade failed to come up to me and I saw he was having trouble. I just had to go out and try to win myself. I hope he feels that I did the right thing.

Ring Experts Convinced Maxie Won’t Lome Back ’

German Dempsey Held to Draw by Paulino Uzcudun, Basque Woodchopper, in Spanish Slugfest. By I nitnl Prr *. BARCELONA, Spain. May 14.—Boxing experts are convinced that Max Schmeling of Germany, former heavyweight champion, will not disprove the oid adage; "They never come back A

They saw the German Dempsey suffer his third straight reversal in a comeback campaign yesterday when held to a twelve-round draw by 35-year-old Paulino Uzcudun, the same Basque woodchopper whom h? defeated decisively in 1929 and soared to the championship. After losing his title to Jack Sharkey in 1932. Schmeling was knocked out by Maxie Baer last summer, and impressively outpointed during the winter by young Steve Hamas. - Schmeling entered the ring a diswcc t favorite yesterday. Paulino's s°Tific beating at the hands of iTampion Primo Camera in Rome ist year was still fresh in all minds, h Most of the experts and many of •Ke spectators thought Schmeling fad shaded the Basque and earned she decision. However, the announcement of the draw was popular with the crowd. Schmeling’s manager. Joe Jacobs, was particularly displeased because he had objected to the naming of Juan Casanovas. secretary of the Spanish boxing federation, as referee.

By Joe Williams Hiffh Quest Wasn’t to Win mam But Discovery Threatened mam Cavalcade Couldn’t Get Up

Taking advantage of his twentypound pull in the weights, Paulino rushed out of his corner at the opening gong and launched a slugging barrage at the German's head and body. His aggressiveness won the first two rounds. Schmeling rallied to win the third with effective counter punching. They fought on even terms in the fourth and fifth, but Maxie took the aggressive in the sixth and shook up the Basque with several smashing longrange blows to the head. Paulino battered Schmeling's body in the seventh and resumed this work in the eighth until a whistling right hook gashed his left brow. A long right gashed Uzcundun's left cheek in the ninth and he was bleeding profusely from both cuts, but still fighting savagely. He held his own in the tenth. Paulino fought desperately in the last two rounds and jolted the former'champion several times with stiff hooks to the chin. The Basque's final rally apparently gained him a draw. Schmeling weighed 187 pounds; Uzcudun 208.

week end was heavy with both track and baseball teams busy throughout the state. Notre Dame scored the major upset when the Irish diamond team defeated Indiana. 7 to 3. Matt Themes, a sophomore hurler from Cincinnati, turned back the Crimson team with nine scattered hits and struck out eight batters. Indiana Central whipped N. C. A. G.

Tech Among Favorites in Track Event Horace Mann and Kokomo Heaviest Choices in State Finals. Horace Mann of Gary, -with another strong high school track team, today was the leading contender for the I. H. S. A. A. championship which will be decided here Saturday. Qualifying eight men in the mile and half-mile relays, and men in four individual events, the horsemen had little trouble in capturing the Gary sectional, one of fifteen held last week-end. Kokomo, always a strong con% tender in state high school competition, and holder of the North Central conference championship, probably will be Horace Mann's chief opponent for team honors. The Wildcats qualified, fifteen performers at their sectional Saturday, ■winning seven of the eleven events and sharing in another. Technical of Indianapolis, with eight men in eleven events and team in both the mile and 800 relays, will be another strong team vieing for honors at the state meet. Mishawaka, Bloomington, Richmond. Elkhart. Vincennes, Petersburg. Muncie, Wiley of Tei-re Haute. Lafayette. Kentland, South Side of Ft. Wayne and New Albany, winners of sectional meets, are others that will have strong representation at the state meet. On the face of sectional performances Saturday, the only state record expected to be broken is the mile. Tom Deckard, Bloomington high school star, was the only participant in Saturday's sectionals to smash a mark, his 4:27.2 in the mile lowering the old mark by 1.2 seconds. Local Section Scores Six firsts enabled the strong Tech team to grab team honors in the local sectional held at the Tech field last Saturday. Tech scored 48 points. Other scores were: Washington. 22; Shortridge. 18; Greenfield, 11; Ben Davis. 10; Southport, 6; Manual, 1. and Plainfield, 1. Two records were broken.

Bose and Miller as its members, set anew mile record of 3:34, better the old mark by one and one-half seconds. Atkinson of Shortridge andCulley of Greenfield were the only double winners. The Blue Devil ace won both the 100 and 220-vard dashes, while Cullev triumphed in the broad jump and low hurdles.

THE Indians’ infield looks as though it is set for the season. It has seen several shifts since the season opened on April 17. When the new campaign started Jimmy Shevlin was at first base, Sigafoos was at second, Bedore at third and Lee at short. Later Ernie Wingard displaced Shevlin, and then Shevlin was released and Wingard was sold to Milwaukee. Sigafoos was tried in the outfield and Sherlock was pla.ced at second. Another change put Johnny Cooney on first. Then Bedore was shifted from third to first and Ray White was assigned to third base in Bedore’s regular position. Finally Sigafoos was stationed at third, leaving Bedore at first, Sherlock at second and Lee at short. The Indians will close their current home stand in the third and final tilt with the K. C. Blues tonight in a “ladies’ night" game, weather permitting. The Tribe will depart for the west tomorrow and remain on the road until May 29.

Local Pin Scores Lower This Season Than in ’33 ) Ed Striebeck Replaces Pritchett as Three-Game High Man With 793 Total.

BY PAUL STRIEBECK Reviewing the bowling scores for 1933-34 season, we find them decidedly lower than the 1932-33 season. in the past season, individual scoring found Ed Striebeck with the high three-game total of 793. Last year, two 800 scores were rolled, an 810 by Jess Pritchett being high. No changes were made in perfect scores, there being two this year and two last year. Ed Striebeck and Johnny Fehr had these two brilliant counts, in the Indianapolis League and the city league, respectively. Those failing on the twelvth ball found Abbott 299. John Bentley and Newt Werner, 297. and Jack Hunt, 295. In a team match game, Jack Hunt also recorded a 299 game. The "Old Reliable,” Jess Pritchett again

Frank Sigafoos

led individual average, finishing the season with a count of 218. Team scoring was lower. Two sets over the 300 mark, were recorded last year, both being scored by Barbasols. Barbasols also counted high single game for the season, scoring a 1.191. Comparing the above scoring with the 1932-33 season, we find for individual play, two 800 scores to none for this year. Only ninety-eight 700 totals were registered, compared with 173 last year. Don Johnson had the most 700 totals of this year, ten. Last year, Jess Pritchett was high with seventeen. In team play, there were two 3,400 totals last year and none this year. Last year, there were 3,300 totals, with only two for 1933-34. Ten 3.200 totals were counted this season against nineteen last year. In 193233. there were 101 games above the 1.100 mark with only fifty-three for the present season. The only logical explanation that could be found to make scoring lower for this season was the new sander used to plane down the alleys. This machine covers the entire -width of the alley. In former years, the machine used covered only about a foot of space at a time. Next year is expected to offer even lower scoring, due to pins having a much flatter bottom and a strip of round on the edge of the alleys to prevent such a lively kick-back. The final standing of the Miller Office Supply League at the Central alleys found Miller Supplies on top. winning sixtythree and losing thirty-three games. Second place went to Loose Leafs, winning sixty-one and losing thirty-five. High three-game team totals goes to Loose ]>eafs, scoring a 3,133. which includes handicap. Second high goes to Miller Supplies, scoring 3,050. Individual game found Rotospeeds best. scoring 1.106, including handicap. High Desks, were second on 1.095. Individual scoring found Harrv Scarborough best with a count of 185. Russ Smith held the runner up position with an average of 184. Russ Smith also won high .three-game total and single game honors for the season, scoring a 682 for three-game total and 288 for single game, both without handicap. The Intermediate League of the Uptown alley's found E. Johnson Coal Company on top at the close of the season, winning seventy-five and losing twenty-four games. Runner-up position goes to Schultz Furniture. winning sixty-eight and losing thirty-one games. E. Johnson Coal Company had high three game total, scoring 2.780. with second high going to Schultz Furniture, counting 2.720. High single game for team found Schultz Furniture best with a score of 1.042. Thirtieth and Central Sales was next with 985. One team in this league turned in a record that may not be equaled for a long time. This team won only one game the entire season and bowled every league night. In Individual play. Beck topped th average list, finishing the season with 188. The runner-up position goes to Hale and Leppert with 186 each. High threegame total goes to Leppert with 652 and second place to Beck just two pins short; High single game was registered by Booth with a 257. with second high to Wilhelm on a 254.

‘Cry Baby’ to Get Battle in Szabo Tussle Zaharias Faces Real Mat Test in Tilt With Hungarian. A special semi-windup bout that has the earmarks of being one of the best “give and take" encounters of the season is on the Hercules A. C. all-heavyweight wrestling card at the Armory tomorrow night. It brings together George <Cry Baby) Zaharias, rough Colorado Greek, and Sandor Szabo, who claims the Hungarian heavyweight championship. Szabo comes to the local ring highly touted as a mat ace who thrives on opposition of the Zaharias type. He is heralded as a skilled and clever grappler and touts victories over a list of well-known heavies. He is rated capable of withstanding plenty of punishment and is said to be able to dish out an assortment of rough maneuvers when necessary. He comes highly recommended to Matchmaker Lloyd Carter, who was anxious to pit Zaharias against a worthy opponent. Ivan Vacturoff, 235-pound Russian grappler, tackles Ray Steele, 215, highly-touted Californian, in the main go. Vacturoff is of the powerful type and is one of the best of Russian huskies. He specializes in bone-crushing holds. Steele is among the five best heavyweights in the game. Among his list of victims are Jim Browning, recognized in New York as the heavyweight champ: Ed (Strangler) Lewis and John Pesek. Tom Marvin. Oklahoma Indian, will oppose Tonti Guiseppe, rough Italian matman, in the opening bout at 8:30.

Carson Hurls K.C.Blues to 5-1 Victory on Sabbath; Kaws Rap Lefty Logan Late in Game Fans 800 When Umpire Johnson Calls Off Second Tilt: Series Finale to Be Played Under Lights Tonight; Tribe to Hit Long Trail. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor The Indians won three in a row before Hobo Carson of the Kansas City Blues employed a puzzling "sinker” in the first tilt of the scheduled double-header yesterday and pitched the Kaws to a 5 to 1 victory'. The Tribesmen annexed the series opener on Saturday. 5 to 4. when Frank Sigafoos batted in the winning marker in the ninth. The Saturday contest was featured by a home run over the left field wall by pitcher John Miljus of the Redskins. He connected in the sixth with two mates aboard. The Blues captured the Sabbath engagement by staging a four-run rally in the eighth frame, two singles, two doubles and walk combining to ruin Lefty Bob Logan, Indian chucker. One inning of the scheduled second skirmish was played when rain chased the teams to their dugouLs, and after a wait of thirty-five minutes Umpire Johnson called off the action on account of wet grounds. Many fans thought the field was in good enough shape to resume play, for it had stopped raining, and cushions and bottles were showered on the field as rooters shouted and booed the official's announcement. Kansas City had scored one tun and the Blues were eager to continue. However, the plate umpire is in complete charge after a game begins and his word is law. The home club has no authority in the matter.

The Blue-Indian series will end with a night battle under the lights tonight starting at 8:15. It will be "ladies’ night’’ at the stadium. Tomorrow is an off-day in the schedule and the Tribesmen will depart late in the afternoon for MinneS apolis, where they will open with the Millers on Wednesday. The Killefer crew will play on foreign fields un-; til May 29. when they will return home and meet the Louisville Colonels in a night game on the eve of the 500-mile race. Play in Four Cities Minneapolis, St. Paul, Kansas City and Milwaukee will be invaded during the Tribe's long journey to enemy camps. The Indians are in second place, three games back of Ownie Bushs Millers, who lost a twin bill in Columbus yesterday. Columbus is a close third and Louisville is crowding the Red Birds. Kansas City is fifth at the 500 mark. Five double plays were made in the conflict yesterday, three by the Indians. The Indians collected eleven hits, but were unable to bunch the blows against Carson. The Tribe’s lone marker was registered in the initial stanza and after that Carson dazzled the locals and also was helped at times when the Indians lined the sphere straight into the glove of a K. C. player. Nine Indians Left * The Indians threatened in the sixth, eighth and ninth. In the final round Bedore opened with a double and Sherlock followed with a single, but Riddle fouled out, Cotelle sent a short fly to Stumps in center and Lee lined out to Connatser at first base. The Hoosiers had nine runners left on base to two for the Blues. Bill Wyss, Indianapolis sandlotter, was turned over to the Minneapolis Millers by the Indians. He saw* some action at Columbus yesterday. The Millers were caught with too many veterans on their roster. Only sixteen vets are permitted under the American Association player limit.

Indian Notes

WHEN tha second game started yesterday Jim Turner was on the Tribe mound and Lefty Hockette occupied the slab for the visitors. In the first stanza Stumps singled and scored on Wright's double after two down. Connatser beat out a hit and Taylor popped to Sherlock. In the Tribe half Cooney walked after one out and was caught napping off first. Sigafoos was retired by Connatser, unassisted. That was all. Rain ended further play and umpire Johnson declined to permit the teams to resume after the shower ceased. Attendance was 2,*26. Threatening weather and the broadcast of the New York Giants vs. Chicago Cubs game combined to keep the customers at home or in taverns listening to the big league contest. Lefty Logan pitched a neat article of ball until the eighth. He held the visitors to four blows in seven innings He also fielded his position in good style. It was a fast encounter and was played In 1 hour and 28 minutes. Only three Blues faced Logan in six of the nine innings. He started two double plays on hard drives to the box. Fred Bedore was spiked by Connatser on a play at first in the seventh, but Fred remained in the game after taking time out. The Rlues left the plate unprotected in the first round and Cooney scored from second on Washington's infield out. Catcher Brenzel fielded Washington’s roller and ptirher Carson forgot to guard thn plate. Washington received credit for a run hatted in. Rosenberg lined to Connatser in the sixth and Washington was doubled off first, leaving Sigafoos marooned on third. Almada took Rosenberg's fly after a long run in the eighth. It was the third out and Sigafoos and Washington were left, on the paths. Sigafoos. Washington and Bedore each got two hits. Logan fanned four and walked one. Carson scored no strikeouts and issued no passes. The Tribe hit total was eleven. Third baseman Riggs is back with Columbus, sent there by the St. Louis Cardinals. Outfielder Gene Moore also was given to the Red Birds. Terry Moore is another Bird outfielder.
