TTHE Belmont Park race track in New York opens today, ... The feature is the Toboggan Handicap. ... Sorry the Indians can’t be there to win it. . . . Th<y would be post-time favorites. . . . Tough week-end coming up for sports scriveners in this town.... Qualifying trials for the 500-mile start Saturday. . . . State high school track meet at Butler. . . . State high school golf tourney at Speedway course. . . . Plus the regular Saturday afternoon load of baseball and hoss racing in other parts, the Preakness featuring. Earle Combs, a coach with the Yankees, was a star for years with the Ruppert Rifles. . . . Thinks the 1927 team was the best. . . . That was the year Babe Ruth hit 60 home runs and Lou Gehrig 47. . . . The team total was 158. . . . Pittsburgh was met in the World Series and knocked off four in a r0w.... The club won 110 games during the regular race, 21 from the Browns. . . . Club batting average was .307 and Ruth and Gehrig batted in 339 runs between them. a a a a a a LAST spring the Giants won seven out of ten on their opening swing through the West. . . . This year they won two out of 10. . . . Perfect reverse. . . During a sixth-inning rally by the Pirates the other day Paul Waner was responsible for all three outs. ... He closed the round by stroking into a double play after opening it with a bounce to the pitcher. . . . Paul immediately dispatched the clubhouse boy for an armful of new bats. Even the best of them have their off days. . . . The mighty Jimmy Foxx included. ... In a game against the White Sox this year he struck out four straight times. . . . ‘'That wins me the bat-waving title,” Jimmy moaned. . . .

Yale and Colgate put over something new last week by staging a grid battle of four 12-minutc periods. . . . The practice tilt was played at New Haven and wound up in a scoreless tie. ... It was announced as a strictly informal affair to end spring drill, but a yowling coatless crowd was on hand. a a a JOE EZAR, trick golf artist, hits four balls at once. . . .One pellet goes straight, another hooks, a third slices, and he catches the fourth in his hand. . . . Things like that make a links duffer hang up his clubs and stay at home to straighten up the yard. a a a It won’t make any difference now if Paul Derringer never slides at the plate. ... He shut out the Pirates with three hits yesterday and made the Cincy Reds look good. ... A sound flipper usually will change any manager’s mind. a a a TRAINER HIRSCH han made a change in jockeys for ihe rich Preakness Saturday and Bold Venture, Kentucky Derby upsetter, will be ridden by Sonny Workman instead of by Wayne Wright. . . . Workman will sub for Babe Hanford. who was suspended for rodeo riding in the Derby. . . .

Indians Tackle Brewers After Holding K. C. Even Tribe Tastes Victory When Logan Blanks Blues; First Sabbath Tilt Is Shutout Defeat. Times Special M t! L t^ r , AU u K^ E ’ M !l y 11—The Tribesters of Red Killefer were feeling slightly better today as they rolled into the Cream City to open a four-game session with the Brewers at Borchert Field. They broke their losing streak at Kansas City yesterday, and of all things, by a shutout.' The score was 3 to 0. r '

After two postponements in Kawtown, the Hoosiers and Blues got together in a twin bill on the Sabbath and the Indians weren't clicking at the outset. Asa matter of fact they were blanked, 4-0. in the first tilt, which stretched their toboggan slide to four in a row. Tinning and Trout pitched for the Tribe and Phil Page and Niggeling for Kansas City. Hits were six for Indianapolis and seven for the Blues, but the Indians committed two miscues and failed to hit with runners on the sacks. Kansas City won in the late innings, scoring twice in the seventh and repeating with two more tallies in the eighth. Three Hits by Fausett Lefty Bob Logan then essayed to go out and put the Hoosiers on their feet. He turned it on and handed the Kaws nine goose eggs. Lefty kept seven hits scattered. It was the Blues’ turn to “blow" in the field and four errors were chalked against Dutch Zwilling's pastimers. The Tribe collected nine safeties off Shores and Stiles, and Buck Fausett paced the winners with two singles and a double. Logan was backed by perfect fielding. The Hoosiers staged a “big" inning and scored all three markers in the second frame aided by two K. C. miscues. A crowd of 7000 was on hand. Four games in Milwaukee and four in Toledo will complete the Tribes road trip. Stewart Bolen, veteran southpaw, was expected to get the Hoosier mound assignment this afternoon in the series opener with the Brewers.

‘NEW’ OVAL PROVES WORTH AS CAR SKIDS

Rebuilt Curve Aids Pilot in Near-Mishap MacKenzie Loses Control at Speedway, but Pulls Out After Dizzy Spin. BY HARRISON MILLER Doc MacKenzie and the 500-mile racing gentry at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway today are stamping an emphatic approval on the improvements made on the brick oval, following yesterday’s near-brash with tragedy on one of the “death j curves.” The Eddington fPa.) bewhiskered pilot, who is to drive Kelly Petillo's car which won the 1935 classic, encountered the first mishap of the practice season yesterday without injury to himself or damage to the car, and proved that the elimination of one of the brickway's worst hazards already has compensated the cost of repairs. Goes Into Spin MacKenzie averted a serious crackup by masterful maneuvering on the erstwhile dangerous northwest curve where the late A1 Gordon vaulted the wall last year and many other drivers have hurtled to disastrous landings. Riding high on the outer rim of the brick saucer at a speed of approximately 120 miles an hour, Doc lost temporary control and the right rear wheel slid toward the retaining wall. The car dashed sideways for approximately 500 feet, spun completely around, tossed up a curtain of dust and headed for the inside apron of the track. MacKenzie righted the car and jockey?d it out of the dust screen to safe ,y and pulled up to the pits for inspection. The mishap occured late in the afternoon on the fifth lap of a scheduled 100-mile test run.

Steps Up Speed The eastern speed champion started the run at a 116-mile-per-hour clip on the first lap, circled twice more at 116.5, boosted the rate to 119 on the next and was gathering momentum when he let the machine get away from him. Doc admitted that he grew too confident and was tramping the accelerator too heavy for his first day in the seat of Petillo’s car. Billy Meeks, young Los Angeles driver who accompanied Petillo here as mechaic, was riding on the right side of a race car for the first time, but retained his composure and came up with a smile and a slightly burned elbow which touched the exhaust pipe. Several cars were on the track yesterday for warm-up runs, but, with the exception of the Petillo stable, most of the time was spent in tinkering on parts. Many of the drivers were out of town for the races at Atlanta, Ga., and the midget auto events at Chicago. Duray’s Cars on Track Leon Duray had both of his Bowes Seal Fast Specials on the track, and Cliff Bergere and Herb Ardinger, who will drive them in the 500, cruised several laps, but | did not wind them up. Roy Painter also took several spins in his American Twist Drill Special, and the Debaets Special which Harry McQuinn drove last year and is to have Emil Andres of Chicago behind the wheel this year, was out for a short spin. Petillo. how'ever, was on the track most of the afternoon giving the car a rigid test and inspection. The national racing king took each of his mechanics for a ride and then, with MacKenzie at his side, turned several circuits at 113 miles an hour. MacKenzie, out to “get the feel” of the car and track, was timed on several laps at 116. Both drivers amplified the previous statements of drivers that the curves are safer and faster. Less Skidding, Petillo Says The new asphalt composition which has been spread over parts of the curves gives greater traction than the brick surface. Petillo said that the rear wheels “bite” into the track and do not skid as much as on brick. Activities at the Speedway are expected to increase this week as garages tune up for the opening day of qualifications next Saturday. With the exception of several drivers who have entered next Sunday's events at Langhorne, Pa., nearly every one is expected to get out on the oval for the first gasoline and speed tests. STAHLTAKES HONORS IN GUN CLUB EVENTS Lyman Stahl captured honors in the weekly shooting at ihe Capital City Gun club yesterday by cracking 46 out of 50 targets in the featured skeet event and tying for first in the 25-target trapshoot. Scores: 50-Target Skeet—Stahl. 46; Vandiver 45: Hollinger, 44: McDonald, 43; Stephens' 39: Milligan. 38: Bailev. 38. 35-Target Skeet—Fariow. 23: Shore 22Hurrle, 14; Mrs. McDonald, 14; Hopewell' 10. 25-Target Trapshoot—Stahl, 18: Spoon. 18; Silnes, 12; Jimmel, 12.

npRAGEDY probably has preeluded the ambition of young Billy Devore to travel this year in the footsteps of his father, the late Devore, former Speedway race driver who died in the Vestris shipwreck a few years ago. This picture of Billy was taken at the Speedway Friday afternoon just before he departed for Atlanta, Ga,, where he was injured critically when he crashed on the dirt track at Lakewood Park yesterday. Devore hat been practicing to enter his first 500-mile race as a driver behind the wheel of the four/ cylinder car owned by Babe Stapp. It was reported Billy suffered a broken back and possible internal injuries. Young Devore was awarded the driving spurs this year after success on dirt tracks and much experience as a riding mechanic in 500-mile races. His condition was reported as “fair” today.

Tommy Milton Selected as 500-Mile Pacemaker

Tommy Milton, one of the immortals of the auto racing world, again will lead the parade of cars at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway this year—but this time for only one lap. Milton, winner of the 1921 and 1923 speed classics, has been chosen by E. V. Rickenbacker, president of the Speedway, to drive the pacemaking stock car which will send the 33 qualifiers off on the 500-mile grind. The Packard Motor Car Cos. has been invited to represent the automotive industry on the trail-blazing trip. Milton shares with Lou Meyer the distinction of winning two 500-mile races. In nine years, from 1919 to 1928, Milton became one of the greatest money winners of all times and is now a developement engineer for the Packard company.

Dickey, Crosetti, Gehrig and Di Maggio—are hitting more than .355. * The Yankees clubbed out a 7-to--2 victory over the Philadelphia Athletics in displacing Boston from the league lead yesterday. Di Maggio put the Yanks in the lead by smashing his first major league home run in the first inning, and Bill Dickey put the game on ice when he homored with a mate aboard in the fifth. It was his seventh circuit blow of the season. Newsom Back With Vengeance Buck Newsom showed a sharp return to form and blanked the Red Sox as the Washington Senators won 4-0. He gave up only six hits. Kuhel’s four-bagger was one of nine hits the Senators collected off four Sox pitchers. The mighty Lefty Grove was knocked out of the box. The victory enabled Washington to climb above the Detroit Tigers into fourth place as the Tigers lost a bitter 15-inning struggle to the Cleveland Indians, 9 to 7. A walk to Vosmik, Hughes’ triple and Pytlaks single did the damage. Marv Owen, who hit only two home runs all last season, collected a pair for himself yesterday. The St. Louis Cardinals moved out further in front of the National chase by winning their third straight over the Chicago Cubs, 5 to 1, in a contest clipped short by rain. Paul Dean gave up only three hits in the five innings played.
