HKjk. 1

YORK, May 31.—A welterweight champion lasts about as long these days as a two-dollar bill at Belmont. The last ten welterweight champions were knocked off the first time they put their titles on the line. How come? Well, my guess is that where so little consistency exists there must be a great deal of mediocrity. Certainly you wouldn't rate fellows like Pete Latzo, Joe Dundee. Jackie Field's, Young Jack Thompson, Tommy Freeman. Lou Brouiuard and Young Corbett 111 among the immortals of the ring, w’ould you. I also question that Jimmy McLarnin will be so remembered by posterity. The customers were advised that it would be no surprise if McLarnin lost his championship to Barney Ross in the fight of Monday night. And that's how it turned out. ** * * M’LARNIN is a very good fighter, but scarcely a superman as his cheer leaders seem to think. Study his record closely and you will find it quite spotty. He has been beaten by some ordinary fighters. He is a good right-handed hitter, but even so some of his knockout victims have been notoriously fragile both as to might and morale. Much of the illusion that McLarnin is a killer faded when Ross, a lightweight, stood toe to toe with him and made him give ground. In this kind of going the Grade A killer generally dominates. The inference then is that McLarnin. whatever else he may be. is not a Grade A killer. WHAT kind of a welterweight champion will Ross make? This question is complicated by reason of the fact that the Chicago bumblebee holds two titles—the lightweight and the welterweight. If he tries to hold on to both and undoubtedly this is his intention the matter of shifting from one weight to another isn't likely to improve him as a fighting machine. . .... . Ross could have come in at 135 pounds for McLarnin and still been strong. The chances are he will always be more of a natural lightweight than a natural welterweight. At 25 he is fully matured and the kind of weight he takes on from now on isn’t calculated to add to his speed and shiftiness, his two most important assets as a fighter. So it may be that the young man is destined to be remembered more as a great lightweight than a great welterweight. ana a a a I HAVE been asked if both of Ross’ titles will be at stake the next time he enters the ring, regardless of the weight at which he fights. If ring custom is followed they will, but in this instance I am in favor of tossing custom out the window and substituting common sense—common sense and fair play. * To win the lightweight championship Ross made the scale weight; to win the welterweight championship he conceded his opponent from five to eight pounds, depending on how much McLarnin picked up after weighing 142 pounds at noon. On the one hand Ross did all that was demanded of him by the rules, on the other he did more. a a a a a a AND so I ask why penalize the young man by imposing a double responsibility on him whenever he elects to defend the lightweight championship? It seems to me that the fair and sensible thing to do is to demand that Ross specify which title he is defending and let it go at that. He had to fight two different men to win the two different titles, didn’t he? For the present the situation may be said to be more unique than important. I don't know of any lightweight who is going to beat the windmill from the Windy City very soon, and if McLarnin was the best the welterweight division had to offer, Ross has nothing to worry about on that score, either. Just the same an official ruling should be made. Ross is now talking about fighting the middleweight champion. What if he should go through with this match and win—would all three of his titles be at stake if at a later time he fought as a lightweight? And how high is up?

on June 8. Chief Killefer employed two lefthanders against Louisviiie yesterday and the home nine annexed the afternoon tilt behind Bob Logan. 10 to 5. and repeated the shellacking under the lights at night. 8 to 3. with southpaw Stewart Bolen doing their mound chuckling. Bolen held the visitors to six hits and legistered seven strikeouts. He lost control in only one inning, and when the big boy has control he’s tough for any team to beat. The Indians jumped off to a swift start in the night fracas and tallied three markers in the opening round and never were headed. Como Cotello, swarthy fly chaser, led the Tribe at bat with three hits, one for two bases. He batted in four runs. The Indian hit total was eleven. Louisville was crippled owing to sickness of regulars and the Colonels were unable to put their full strength on the field, but with Bolen on his stride there hardly would have been a chance for the Colonels anyway. Stewart also mixed into the batting attack with two hits. He walloped in one run and scored one himself. The big pitcher has collected nine safeties in twenty-four times at bat this season and is pointing with pride to an average of .37 5. The Indians pounded the horsehide for fourteen blows in the afternoon tilt yesterday and the visitors also walloped the pellet often and stacked up fifteen safeties. Lefty Logan weakened toward the end, but he held a good lead and was not forced to “bear down.” The Colonels committed five errors. The batting and fielding of Rosenberg helped the Hoosiers knock off their Kentucky rivals, 10 to 5. Jack Sherlock, new Tribe first sacker, looks the part of the real article around the initial station, but it is too early to pass judgment on his power with the bat. The new Indian batted in three runs in the daylight tilt yesterday, getting two hits, one a double, but he went hitless in the nightcap. Louisville used three hurlers in the first game and the same number at night. McLean saw service in all three games of the series and had the bad luck to be charged with two of the Colonel defeats.

Bill Cummings, 28-year-old Indianapolis ace, whom the boys affectionately and somewhat enviously called “Wild Bill”, because he didn’t like to eat dust from anybody’s race car, has learned how to control that leaden foot and as the result is approximately $50,000 richer today. "Wild Bill” displayed one of the best and yet most sensational driving exhibitions of his career yesterday to grab first-place laurels in the world's greatest gasoline classic, the Indianapolis 500-mile Grand Prix. It was one of the most popular victories in history.

Driving the entire race without relief while many other pilots were heing forced out by the intense heat, Cummings established anew record for the “Five Century” with a 104.865 miles an hour average, shading the 104.162 established by Louis Meyer in 1933. An accident on the north turn, which slowed the field down to nearly fifty miles an hour for several laps, after Doc McKenzie rammed the wall on his sixteenth trip around the oval, cut the pace considerably. At the twenty-five-mile post the leaders were traveling 111.269 miles an hour, but the accident which brought out the yellow warning flag slashed the pace to 106.058 at fifty miles, and 102.039 at seventy-five. When the green flag waved the chauffeurs on again, they hotfooted it and the average started mounting until the record was passed. Rose, Second, Protests The McKenzie accident also paved the way for a formal protest of Cummings’ victory by Leon Duray, whose speedy creation was piloted to a close second by popular little Mauri Rose, twenty-seven seconds behind the flying Indianapolis boy. Duray’s protest to the A. A. A. claimed that Cummings picked up more than one-half a lap while the yellow flags were displayed ordering drivers to slow down and hold their positions. The duel between Cummings and Rose, which started at the 300-mile mark, was one of the most thrilling in the twenty-two years of racing at the huge Speedway plant. Never more than a half lap separated the flying daredevils. (, Rose. too. deserves world's of credit for his brilliant performance. Like Cummings, he was at the wheel throughout the entire grind. From the start, the pint-sized Dayton (O.) youth, making his second start in the big classic, was among the leaders, never below third place after twenty-five miles. He piloted the same car which Wilbur gjfiaw throttled to second place in last year’s struggle. Rose Also Beats Record Cummings' time was 4 hours, 46 minutes and 05.21 seconds, Rose’s 4 hours, 46 minutes and 32.24 seconds. Cummings averaged 104.865 miles an hour, Rose 104.698, also breaking Meyer’s former record. Two other pilots passed the 100-mile-an-hour mark, Lou Moore finishing third at a 102.627 clip and Deacon Litz hauling down fourth place money with 100.750. The first four cars to finish all were fourcylinder creations. The six other prize winners and their speeds were; Joe Russo, Duesenberg eight, fifth, 99.895; Zeke Meyer, driving Phil Shafer’s eight as relief for A1 Miller, sixth, 98.272; Cliff Bergere, Floating Power four, seventh, 97.819; Russell Snowberger, Russell eight, eighth, 97.298; Rex Mays, driving the Four-Wheel-Drive four for Frank Brisko, ninth. 96.788: Herbert Ardinger, Lucenti eight, tenth, 95.937. Ardinger, incidentally, was driving his first race. Two Cars Over Wall Despite the record-breaking speed, only two serious accidents were chalked up during the day, both coming early in the race and mechanics and pilots escaping serious injuries in each case. George Bailey, driving his first race here, catapulted over the northwest wall on the thirteenth lap at a speed of more than 100 miles an hour, but escaped with a broken wrist and cuts, while Jim Jackson, his mechanician, had only a bloody nose. Chet Miller, a veteran, provided the first thrill when his Bohnalite special, a Ford, hurtled the southwest outside wall near the spot where Pete Kreis was killed recently in a practice spin. Miller and his mate, Eddie Tynan, escaped unhurt. “It's just like another Christmas,” exclaimed Cummings to his wife, Peggy, and mother, Mrs. Minta Brown, 1806 North Alabama street, after pulling to a halt in the victor’s circle. Like Wild Bill, his faithful mechanic, Earl Unversaw, was all smiles. Earl and Bill have been lifelong friends and riding pals. This was their first major triumph. He’ll Keep on Racing A short time later, after a checkup at the Speedway hospital, Cummings was at his home, 1714 Ingram street. Refreshed, he talked of the future and his hopes for further conquests in the racing world, particularly the 500-mile. He revealed that yesterday’s victory marked the realization of a 21-year-olcJ ambition. At the age of seven, “Wild Bill," who first gained that tag with his speedy work as a delivery boy on a motorcycle, expressed the ambition to his

mother. Bill’s thirst for speed is easily accounted for. His father, also tagged “Wild Bill,” was a race driver. Incidentally, Cummings’ triumph came in his fifth start. In his first start, he finished fifth. 140,000 Cheer Winner The roar of Cummings’ motor as he neared victory was drowned by the cheers of 140,000 fans, second largest crowd in Speedway history. After the 300-mile mark, when it became apparent that popular Bill had a chance to be first under the wire, the huge throng lining the two and one-half mile track cheered, shouted, waved banners, hats and seat cushions and sent up a deafening crescendo of auto horns as the smiling chauffeur flashed by lap after lap. The man who shattered all existing Speedway records for the first 75 miles in 1933 only to put his car out of commission did a complete about face yesterday. At the twenty-five mile post, his front-wheel Boyle Valve creation, entered by Mike Boyle of Chicago and tuned to mechanical perfection by Cotton Henning, was in seventh place. A pit stop left him out of the money at the 50-mile reading, but he was back in fourth place at 100 miles. He held this position until the 175-mile lap was recorded, when he had moved up to third. After a momentary drop back to fourth, he regained third again at the 225-mile post. Twelve Seconds Apart Only twelve seconds separated Cummings and Rose when they started their battle at 300 miles, with the latter in front. On the 125th lap, 318 miles of traveling, Wild Bill finally caught up with Rose and passed him on the northwest curve in a dazzling exhibition of skillful driving. They flashed around the track with only a few yards separating the cars, and at 325 miles Cummings was eight seconds in front. He increased this margin to 30.2 seconds at 350 miles, but twelve miles later pulled into the pits for fuel and anew tire, and Rose again bulleted to the fore. Thirty seconds behind, Cummings roved out of the pits to resume the duel. Cheered by the knowledge that he had plenty of gas left, he cut loose with speed galore, and the battle was on. Spectators on the curves were treated to some of the neatest, cleverest driving in years as the pursuit waxed warmer. Rose and his rival slithered into the treacherous, oil-spattered turns at terrific speed, never taking their foot off the throttle. The first record tumbed at the 425-mile post, when Rose’s average reached 104.828, against 104.59? held by Lou Meyer last year. The Dayton midget was thirteen seconds in front. Passes Rose on Curve The most thrilling incident of the race took place on northwest curve shortly before the 450-mile mark. Cummings. Rose and Lou Moore, running 1-2-3. hit the spot at the same time, with Cummings on top and Rose next. Handling his car perfectly, Cummigs “gave It the gun" and shot out in front, with Rose right after him as they swept down the stretch.

With the nuge prize money so near, boin drivers evidently decided to take no cnances and tney slackened tne pace, Cummings staying just far enough m front to be assured of victory. Despite the broadside blast made by drivers on the forty-five gallon luei limit placed on the 50u-miie gnna, not one car was forced out ui the lace by gasoline shortage. It is reporteu that Cummings had eight and one-half gallons leit, Rose eignt, and the remainaer of the ten prize winners tapered down to Ardinger, who had two left. Two relief drivers played important roles in the classic grind, naoe Stapp took over Dean Litz’s job at 162 miles, with the car in seventh place. When the Deacon went back to work at 400 miles, Babe nad pushed the job up to fourth place, nou Moore was in fifth place when Wilbur Shaw was called into action. Shaw moved into third at the 375mile post, but a pit stop forced him oac/t to fourth when Moore again took the wheel. Relief Drivers Shine Rex Mays, 2A-year-oid coast star, also turned in a fine job. He stepped into Frank Bnsko’s shoes at the 325-mile mark and though he dropped from fourth to ninth, it probably was on pit, orders, lor the youngster set the four-wneel creation on an inside groove and kept it there, taking no chances. Tne car was new to him and the owners probably decided to take no chances. At the start, Mays didn’t know how to shift gears on the car and ran five laps in second at ninety-five miles an hour. That the buggy had plenty of “soup” was demonstrated by Brisko, who set a terrific pace from the twenty-five-mile post to the 175mile mark, winning $1,200 in lap prizes. Many other relief drivers were called into action due to the intense

heat and slippery condition of the track. At a meeting Tuesday, drivers voted not to put sand on the curves this year unless the oil from the car's collected in a pool. It was reported by A. A. A. officials this year that less oil spotted the bricks than any previous year despite the presence of the two Diesel oil-burners. Stubby Stubblefield in the twocycle Diesel creation encountered trouble early, but got back in the grind and finished fifty minutes behind the leaders. Dave Evans, also in a Diesel, who had averaged 98 miles an hour up to that point, was forced out with a broken transmission on the eighty-first lap. Hard luck crowns went to little Kelly Petillo, who smashed four records in qualification trials and cut out a sensational pace at the start of yseierday’s grind, and Louis Meyer. 1933 winner. Fctillo Has Bad Luck Petillo’s little Red Lion Special ran into oil difficulties and a broken truss rod early in the grind and was forced to spend much time in the pits. Once his car w'as running right, Petillo flashed around the oval in sensational style, but couldn’t catch the pack, finishing eleventh. Meyer's new car went out on the ninety-third lap with oil trouble. Lou then relieved Ralph Hepburn, driving the car in which Meyer won last year, but on the 166th lap a broken connecting rod again put the two-time vifctor on the shelf. The drivers will receive their rewards tonight at the annual dinner at Indianapolis Athletic Club. Checks totaling approximately SIOO,OOO will be passed out by the Speedway, accessory firms and others.
