By Eddie Ash Speed Pilots Alert Despite Fast Pace m n And Don’t Forget Hardy Mechanicians

'THEY do it today or they don't. The gallant knights of the roaring' road were at it again today out at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway speed over glistening bricks. They are the real death challengers of sportdom, but when they receive the starting flag there is hardly a nervous pilot any place in the lineup. It s a long time to hang on to the wheel, from 10 a. m. until the middle of the afternoon, hanging on with pressure while keeping a watchful eye on the track and cars ahead. The race pilots are alert drivers as well as dare-devils, and countless accidents have been avoided in past fivecentury grinds by the quick-witted men seated in the flying mounts. They will escape a smash-up if given half a chance, and without apparently cutting down the terrific pace. It’s the world’s greatest auto race and any man that wins it is entitled to all that it is possible to give him. B U A BUB THE 500-mile struggle is such a grueling thing that many spectators are compelled to take time out for relaxation and intentionally leave their seats at times to rest up for the miles to come. But there’s no opportunity like that for the men occupying the race machines. They keep going through the sun and the heat, burning the track and striving for the highest possible position. It's a test of human endurance as well as a test ot auto engineering and “proving ground” for the collection of advance ideas on motor car building. And don’t overlook the importance of the mechanicians, the men who ride the entire race along with the pilots. Ordinarily they are given about as much attention and prestige as football scrubs, but they are out there facing the same danger as the drivers and doing their utmost to recognize at once any defect in a car as it roars on and on, around and around as the holiday throng enjoys an outing. B B B B B B WALTER JOHNSON'S Cleveland Americans have made the baseball “writer bookies” dizzy. This is the team that declared it was handicapped by the spacious municipal stadium ball park last year, and when the club home was changed back to the old park the boys stepped right out to prove they knew what they were talking about in 1933. Anyway, Walter Johnson's outfit has surprised the dopesters and it certainly would be a popular triumph if the Cleveland pastimers kept up the swift pace and finished on top. The Big Train still possesses much nation-wide fan appeal and doubtless is the “people’s choice” to cop the American League bunting. B B B B B B THE athletic association of Kingan and Company, pork and beef packers, is going to use a baseball game to build up a Christmas charity fund to permit the giving of baskets to a large number of needy persons. The regular Kingan nine, a member of the local Industrial League, is managed by the old big leaguer. Reb Russell, and on the night of June 5, at Perry stadium, Reb will send his nine against the fast Negro nine of the Kingan plant. Two bands will supply the music under the baseball lights on the night of the rivalry battle, the regular Knot Hole Gang band of the Indianapolis baseball club and the band representing the Negro Y. M. C. A. As stated before, proceeds of the game will go to Christmas charity. The general admission will be 25 cents and game action will begin at 8:15. Reb Russell’s team will be known as the Kingan Reliable and the oponents will be the Kingan Indians.

Jerome H. Dean It is at this point of the pennant race that the immortal Patrick Henry would rise and, in his most dignified manner, remark: “If this be dizziness, make the most of it.” And Manager Frankie Frisch is making the most if it. When the Fordham Flash took j over the reins o: the St. Looie enj trant in July of last year, his bigI gest problem was the great “I am” guy from the wilds of Oklahoma, Jerome Herman, the original Dizzy. Problem for Street The self-classed “greatest hurler to make the majors” had been b problem to Gabby Street before Frisch took control, and Frankie was aware of the fact that he had i his hands full in handling a pitcher | who was as temperamental as a pampered doll of the Follies. Street and Dean always were at [swords’ points. Gabby knew Dean was a good pitcher, but he hinted several times that the loquacious one spread dissension in the ranks. “He probably could win about twenty-five games for me. but he’d also ruin my ball club, the former Cards' manager once remarked. “My other players would be mad enough to chew nails and fighting among themselves if they had to listen to that for any length of time. I can win a pennant without him.” Cries for Work The funny part about Dizzy was that, along with his boasting, he was a good pitcher. In 1932 he cried for steady work on the hill, calling National loop larrupers a bunch of weak sisters, and threatening to knock their ears down with ~ fast balls. Given steady work, he proceeded to do just that in winning eighteen games. Last season he again did some heavy heaving of the onion, chalking up twenty wins, and setting a new strikeout record of seventeen against the Chicago Cubs. Remark Helps Paul It was after this performance that J. H. Dean made the remark: “If you think I’m good, you oughta see my brother, Paul, now with Columbus. He’ll be with the Cards some day.” Lo, and behold, there was Paul in the Cards' spring training camp this year! After looking the youngster over in the south, Manager Frisch was asked for his opinion on the second of the dizzy boys. "If he can pitch like his brother, the Cards are in,” was Frank's confident reply. Was W’ith Birds Paul not only is pitching like his brother, but he is pitching better “ a “ original giddy guy, thereby fulfilling a prediction he made in 1932, when he was the star of the Columbus Red Birds. It was while riding on a train en route to St. Louis that Paul made his forcast. Someone hod brought in a paper that carried a story to the effect that Paul Dean, 17-year-old brother of the famous Dizzy Dean, had pitched the Columbus team to a 3 to 2 victory over the Giants in an exhibition game. “Give me another year in baseball,” the younger member of the Dean clan nonchalantly remarked, and they’ll be calling that dizzy guy Paul Dean’s brother!” B.

Move Up in Ranks of City Golf Stars

••" ''f s •’ tfa? U v ;:v u:, ■ ..... ' S&c

TTTHEN the Indianapolis Wom- ’ * en’s Golf Association held its opening tournament of the season at Hiilcrest Country Club Monday a couple of new names cropped out among the low gross shooters. Mrs. Freeman P. Davis of Highland, who has improved her game this spring, fired an 82, four strokes over women’s par figures, to gain first gross honors. She was out in 39, just one stroke over perfect figures. Mrs. Davis believes she can better those four sixes that spoiled her chances to be even par 78 and is anxiously awaiting the city tournament at Speedway next month. Miss Caroline Varin has been heralded a coming player by both Russell and Ralph Stonehouse, who are pros at Riverside and Coffin courses, respectively, where she plays often. When she scored an 87 Monday in the city event it was her first time below the 90 mark, and now that she has reached the 80’s class in competition it looks like her name might appear frequently among the top flight shooters.

Indians Break Loose With Late Swattest and Capture Opener From Rival Colonels Fred Bedore Leads Hoosier Attack With Homer, Triple: New First Baseman Delivers in Pinch; Action This Afternoon and Again Tonight. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor A rousing rally in the eighth inning, good for six runs, after the Colonels had staged a barrage in their half, put the Indians over the hump under the lights at Perry Stadium last night and the home nine captured the series opener, 8 to 5. It was a thrilling windup for about 2,500 customers who were on hand to welcome the Hoosiers on their return from a long road trip. Louisville knocked Jack Tising out of the box in the first part of the eighth, and it looked as though the “eighth inning jinx” still held tne Tribesmen by the throat. Three markers w'ere chalked up by the visitors as they sent Tising to the showers, and it made the game count 5 to 2 in favor of the Kentuckians.

Dudley Lee was first Indian up in the Tribe half and he slashed a single to left. Johnny Conney doubled to right and Jack Sherlock, new first sacker. blasted a triple to deep center. Phil Weinert, Colonel southpaw, took the air after Sherlock’s three-bagger and McLean, a righthander, relieved him. Bedore Comes Through McLean fanned Rosenberg, but Fred Bedore was the big man in the pinch and he lined a triple to center. scoring J. Sherlock with the tying run. Washington was given an intential pass and Vincent Sherlock singled over second, scoring Bedore. Louisville changed pitchers again and Bass took up the toil. Riddle popped to Fun at third and Chamberlain walked, filling the bases. This brought Lee up again in the same inning and he poled another single, scoring Washington and V. Sherlock. Cooney then forced Lee to end the fat stanza in which eleven Tribe batsmen went to the plate. Tribe Rookie Wins Hal Chamberlain relieved Tising when the visitors put on their splurge in the eighth and the giant rookie went on to win. Hits were twelve for Louisville and nine for the Indians. Fred Bedore was the home batting ace with a home run and triple. He batted in three runs and scored twice himself. Ray Radcliff, with three singles, led the Colonels with the bludgeon. With the exception of a single in the seventh frame, the Indians made every hit count in the scoring. Jack Sherlock looked good around the initial sack. He joined the Tribe yesterday, coming from Syracuse. He is a brother of Vincent Sherlock, the home keystone man. Afternoon and Night The rival Indians and Colonels will battle in a split double header today, one game at 3 p. m. and the other under the lights tonight at 8:15. The Tribesmen will leave on a short road jaunt following the tilt tonight. Featuring fielding last night was contributed by Harry Rosenberg, Tribe left fielder. He made a couple of running catches and had two assists, one on a double play. Ray Radcliff also played well in the right garden for the visitors. Tribe Batting Figures A3 H Pet.

West’s Major League T earns Going Strong Cards and Cleveland Most Feared Clubs in Two Loops. BY JACK CUDDY Vnittd Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, May 30.—Complet* returns from the first two phases of intersectional major league play indicate the nat i o n’s baseball strength in both major leagues is centered in the west, for the first time in many seasons. Also that the St. Louis Cardinal! and Cleveland are the most formidable clubs in the National and American circuits, respectively. They are the current league leaders. During the two phases of eastwest play, western National clubs won forty-six games from easterners while losing forty, and western American teams took forty-four games from easterners while dropping forty-three. Frankie Frisch’s Cardinals won sixteen intersectional contests and lost 6, and Walter Johnson’s Cleveland team won thirteen against eight defeats. The Yankees, who made the strongest showing in the majors with nine wins and one loss against western invaders in the first phase, suffered on their recent trip to the midland plains where they won four and dropped eight. This placed them beneath Cleveland in aggregate east-west competition. The Cubs, also a strong home team, took it on the chin during their recent eastern tour, winning only four of eleven contests. Levinsky Says He’s in Shape for Fight By United Press LOS ANGELES.
