By Eddie Ash Indianapolis Also Is Home of Jockeys m u Js T ew Infielder Expected Here Tonight

JNDIANAPOLIS is the home of pilots of fast horses as well as drivers of the speeding auto. Famous for its spacious motor speedway and 500-mile race it’s only natural that the city develops top flight boys for the roaring ways, but having no horse track for gallopers it’s unusual that the city also can boast of a couple of promising jockeys. Jimmy Dobson, 18, is riding at the Washington park track, Chicago, and his home is at 3600 Madison avenue, Indianapolis. His brother, 16, also is at Washington park practicing the saddle art and both are under contract with the stable of John J. Coughlin, Chicago alderman, better known as Bathhouse John. Jimmy weighs 103 to 105 and George 96 to 102. tt 3 tt tt tt tt OWNER COUGHLIN plans to start George riding in September. The lad has had two years’ of stable experience and is eager to land a real assignment in a regular race—and on a first class bangtail. Both Jimmy and George are former Indianapolis Times carriers and their father, C. M. Dobson, used to carry the old Indianapolis Sun. Alderman Coughlin purchased Jimmy’s contract from the E. H. McMahon Evergreen stable. The boy had a good season in 1933 until an injury cut short his riding in September. Jimmy was up on some prominent horses last year and turned in his share of wins. He rested during the winter and has recovered completely. Dad Dobson plans to join his boys in July and help increase their value in the Coughlin stable. tt tt tt tt tt tt JUST a few years ago horse race tracks at Chicago. Latonia and others throughout the nation found their handicap and stakes events weak if Pigeon Hole wasn’t an entrant. He won at six furlongs and up. He beat the Plucky Plays and other good horses of the day. He made the Blue Larkspurs and Clyde Van Dusens dodge dust at times. Yesterday at Fairmount park, Pigeon Hole, “dickey” legs and all, was dropped into a S4OO claiming race. He was grouped with nags that couldn’t come up to his tail at the quarter-pole in better days. And oblivion of oblivions! He was in the eighth race of the day, the event for “dogs’ and commonly called in track parlance the “drugstore derby.” But old Pigeon Hole was scratched out, although the favorite in the “morning line.” tt tt St St tt St THE Indians lost second place yesterday while they were idle as Milwaukee downed Kansas City and moved into the runner-up position, leaving the Tribe mixed up in a three-way tie for third place with Columbus and St. Paul. The change in ownership at Milwaukee worked wonders with the Brewers, and once out of the domination of the St. Louis Browns the new directors bolstered the weak spots and the team is going places. Even the Milwaukee sports scribes picked their club for a low berth in the second division before the season opened and before the group of Cream City business men formed a syndicate and purchased the franchise. tt a tt tt tt tt JACK SHERLOCK, new first sacker, is expected to be in the Indianapolis lineup tonight when the Indians battle the Louisville Colonels under the lights at Perry stadium. Action will begin at 3:15. Jack is a brother of Vincent Sherlock. Tribe second baseman. He was out of baseball last year, but returned to the game this season and was purchased from the Syracuse Internationals. He batted .292 with Hollywood of the Pacific Coast League in 1932. A feature of his clubbing was the fact he batted in 114 runs. Bruno Betzel’s Colonels are scheduled at Perry’ stadium for three games, .consisting of a single tilt tonight, another single fracas tomorrow afternoon at 3 o’clock and the windup tomorrow night at 8:15. The Indians are at home for two days only, and they will perform In Toledo Thursday. The Hoosiers will return on June 8 to begin a long home stand, playing every club in the circuit. , a tt a tt tt tt HAROLD WARSTLER, second baseman with the Athletics, attributes much of the good fortune he and Eric McNair are enjoying as a double play combination to their trying to keep the ball in sight all the . time. “I always see the ball when it is hit to McNair,” explains the Rabbit, who has been the live wire of the Athletics’ infield since a Charley horse put Dib Williams in the dugout during the early spring city series with the Phils. “Some shortstops whip the ball to second basemen so fast that they lose sight of it, and that fraction of a second is enough to give the runner a chance to plunk his spikes in first base ahead of the throw.” When Connie Mack obtained Warstler from the Red Sox, he intended to ship him to the Portland Coasters, but now Philadelphians go all the way back to Eddie Collins and Jack Barry in recalling a pair of keystone killers like Warstler and McNair.. Warstler also was a good double play pastimer when he played shortstop for Indianapolis.. He was not used as a regular when he was with the Boston Red Sox, and perhaps that is the reason his true worth did not come to the surface until he was shoved alongside of McNair after joining the Mackmen.

IT’S always a battle when the Indians and Colonels get together and the old rivals resume action under the lights at Perry stadium tonight at 8:15. The contest will open a three-game set. Two tilts will be played tomorrow on the holiday, one in the afternoon at 3 o’clock and the other at night at 8:15. It is expected that many 500-mile race fans ■will stop off at the stadium to watch the finish of the afternoon battle and then return for the night struggle. Above are pictured four of the Colonels’ best bets, catcher Hank Erickson, outfielder Goodman Rosen, outfielder Gilbert Brack and pitcher Big Jim Peterson. These pastimers have been making things hum under Manager Bruno Betzel and the Colonel management believes at least two of the group will be seen in the majors in 1935. Indians and Colonels have met in only one series this year and it was in Louisville, where the Hoosiers annexed three out of four. The game tonight, on the eve of the 500-mile race, is expected to attract a big crowd. Many race visitors, who also are baseball fans, have yet to see night baseball played and are sure to grasp the opportunity while in the city.

Thousands on Hand for Race (Continued From Page One) are back in the struggle again, including Wild Bill Cummings, colorful Indianapolis ace, who hopes to elude the persistent jinx which has eliminated him previously; Kelly Petillo, pint-sized California Italian, who shattered four Speedway records to win the pole position in 119.329 miles an hour in his Red Lion Special, and Wilbur Shaw, youthful Indianapolis veteran who finished second last year and has his eyes on the $20,000 first prize check. Frank Brisko, his four-wheel drive creation powered with anew fourcylinder motor, also is back. With Petillo and Shaw, he will line up in the first row. Popular Shorty Cantlon, whose qualifying time was second only to Petillo, Cliff Bergere, Hollywood veteran in the speedy Bill White creation, and Lou Moore, a consistent finisher in his Foreman Axle four, are other sturdy contenders. Four newcomers loom as serious threats to the spell of the veterans. A1 Gordon, husky Facific coast champion who lost only one race last winter, has a spanking new Miller creation tuned perfectly and may emulate other famous firsttimers from the west who have flashed to victory. Mauri Rose, at the wheel of Leon Duray’s four-cylinder job which Shaw piloted into second place last year, is another recruit who will bear watching. Rex Mays, 23-year-old Californian who will chauffeur Frame’s Miller-Duesenberg, and George Barringer, local youth at the wheel of the speedy Boyle Valve rear drive, are others who loom as contenders. Desipte the forty-five gallon gasoline limit for the five-century which has kept drivers, owners and mechanics in an uproar for weeks, eight-cylinder jobs hold an edge, with sixteen of the thirty-three places. Thirteen cars are powered with four cylinder motors, two are sixteens and the remaining pairs are oil-burning Diesels. The Diesels, piloted by veteran Dave Evans and Stubby Stubblefield, will be watched closely by the automotive world In the only previous Dissel start here, Dav& Evans finished the long grind without a stop, the only car and driver ever to do so. Four-cylinder motors are expected to have an advantage under the gas limitation rule. In the qualifying tests, the small motors finished with from a pint to two quarts of fuel left from the three gallon allotment, while many of the eights barely got under the wire.

Kentucky Lad Awarded Nod Over Scotten Buckler Takes Down Close Verdict; Three K. O.s Are Landed. BY WAYNE FOX Scotty Scotten, local featherweight, got in there and tried to mix it up with Jimmy Buckler of Louisville as fans had been urging, and that may have been what cost Scotty the fight. It happened in the ninth when Scotty went savagely at his bigchested opponent in a corner. They clinched and both fell out of the ring. Buckler was unable to get up for a few seconds and the referee gave him a five-count. Buckler. Kentucky feather champ, fought stubbornly in the remainder of that round and the tenth, and was awarded the decision. Many fans expressed surprise. Plenty of Mixing Although not fighting sensationally. Scotten had mixed it up as much as Buckler until their fall. Scotten landed neat rights to the head in the fourth and eighth. Buckler’s hardest blow was a jarring right to the body in the fifth. He was best in th“ in-fighting. Buckler weighed ltlM, Scotten, 126’,i. Kelly Petillo, pole position starter in the' 500-mile race tomorrow, was a guest at the boxing show, held under auspices of the Washington A. C. The dark, wavy-haired race driver had his small son with him. Kelly showed genuine surprise at the loud applause he received on his introduction. During the fights he was nervous as a race horse. Three of the preliminary fights ended in knockouts. Rudney Floors Drake Charlie Rudney, Chicago, cut his ten-rounder with Ray Drake of Indianapolis short by administering a knockout in the fourth. Drake was floored two other times before accepting the full count. Rudney was the lighter, weighing 13612 to his opponent’s 142. A scheduled six-rounder between Jimmy Goodman and Kid Carson, Negro, local 147-pounders, drew the most applause. Goodman won the decision after gaining an edge in the fourth by piling Carson up in a corner for a nine-count. Young Leach of Indianapolis showed improvement by knocking out Pat Lopez, durable Filipino, in the fourth round of their scheduled six rounder, and in the four-round opener, Slavko Radich, Indianapolis, knocked out Jack Sullivan, Greenwood, in the last round.
