And perhaps artificial light will make a difference with the pitchers. ... At any rate the Tribe moundsmen have to grab at some kind of a straw. . . . Their inability to hold leads is becoming a serious problem. Another big hand for St. Paul. . . . Fifth last year, the Apostles are riding high by showing the old fight. . . . No. 16 in a row yesterday, 11 innings, with the scrappy Colonels as the victims. Clyde Shoun, kid southpaw, has been released to Birmingham by the Cubs. . . . It's official this time. . . . Once before he was given a ticket South, then recalled before the train got out of Chi. . . . West Point is sending out glowing reports of its 1936 football prospects. . . . The Soldiers usuaJly are pretty good except for kicking that point after touchdown! Washington is a jinx city to the Detroit Tigers. . . . Injuries suffered there by Hank Greenberg and Mickey Cochrane bring to mind that it was in Washington where, in the past, Harry Heilmann. Lu Blue and Charlie Gchringer were hurt at the height of promising Detroit campaigns.

THE next important event on the horse calendar is the Preakness at Pimlico Saturday. . . . Distance is a mile and one-sixteenth for 3-year-olds. . . .

Anything to speed up that Badger machine! nun The Cardinal Warriors are going through spring practice and Stuhldreher already has moved half a dozen harks up on the line in order to get some faster chargers. The squad is big in numbers, hut it’s slow. Which doesn’t click under the Notre Dame system. n n n NOW that the straw hat season is here the men’s wpar department. of the J. C.

MAYS EAGER TO REGAIN POLE POSITION

Coast Driver Joins Clan at 500-Mile Oval Expects Mount to Arrive Today; Deacon Litz Warms Up. BY HARRISON MILLER Rex Mays, gaunt California race driver who set a blistering pace for 305 miles of the Indianapolis Speedway classic last year before being forced from the track with engine trouble, has arrived in t.he van of the pilots who have waited until the last week of warm-up spins preceding the qualifying tests. Mays reached the city yesterday with his Japanese mechanic, Tak Hirashima, to prepare for a renewal of his rivalry with his fellow Californian, Kelly Petillo, and others who seek a lion’s share of the SIOO.000 pot of prizes. His Gilmore Special with the four-cylinder Miller motor which set the early pace in the 1935 record-shattering event, is to arrive today. Seeks Pole Again Mays promises to be one of the busiest campaigners at the Speedway in an effort to capture the pole position which he held last year when he turned in the fastest qualifying trial. With improvements in the track pointing to greater speed this year, his mark of 120.736 miles an hour will be the target of all contenders. The youthful California pilot returns to the local oval with the Pacific Coast racing crown. He engaged in 26 races during the season, finishing first 17 times. Yesterday was marked by comparative inactivity on the brick runways. Most of the drivers have been absent while mechanics and owners relentlessly adjust and reassemble the cars for the opening day of qualification trials Saturday. Doc MacKenzie, who will be behind the wheel of Petillo's mount, again monor.olized the action yesterday with several test runs. Deacon Litz, heaviest driver in Gasoline Alley, climbed into the driver's pit for the first time- yesterday and finished by “winding it up” on several fast trips. The ex(Turn to Page Nineteen)

Schmeling announced himself to be in good condition when he arrived from Germany after a lengthy lay-off. He looks a little soft, though. Too much flesh in the cheeks. The former champion faces a stiff grind to match Louis in physical condition.

Sarron Lifts Feather Title From Miller Petey Wins Split Verdict After Savage Drive in Final Rounds. By United Preaa WASHINGTON. May 12.—The world’s featherweight boxing crown rested today atep tne slightly bald head of Petey Sarron, bantamsized buzz-saw from Birmingham. The former Alabama newsboy literally flailed Freddie Miller. Cincinnati, into submission in 15 rounds before 21.000 wildly cheering fans in Griffith Stadium last night. It was a split decision. One judge voted for Sarron and one for Miller. Referee Eddie Lafond cast the deciding vote for Sarron. Thus in the capital’s first championship fight the title changed hands. Sarron piled up an early lead, clung to it doggedly and then unloosed a drum-fire offensive that seemed for a time in the thirteenth and fifteenth rounds might send Miller down to his first knockout of his career. Ringside observers believed Barron had spent the greater portion of his strength in the early rounds. Miller boxed easily, with the selfassurance of a champion. In the twelfth it seemed he might win. It was in the final three rounds that Sarron removed doubt as to outcome of the go. He tossed punches at Miller from every angle. The crowd was on its feet roaring for the "kill.” Sarron pursued Miller all over the ring. Miller tried to stem the onrush by jabbing his left into Sarron’s face. Sarron paid no heed.

Britain snort of Challengers Tommy Loughran, Philadelphia boxer, who recently returned from a six months' invasion of England, says Britain has no heavyweight of championship potentialities. He met the best of the lot.

TEE TIME ♦ • ik

THE National Open will be followed with intense interest by Hoosier golf fans this year. A native son. Bill Heinlein, is to carry the entire load of Indiana hopes in the links classic at Springfield, N. J., June 4, 5 and 6. Bill, our popular state Open champ and pro at Coffin course, barely squeezed under the wire in qualifications at Chicago yesterday. Carding a 152, he was one of 15 who survived a starting field of 143 players over 36 holes of the difficult Olympia Fields course. Seven other Hoosier entrants came in with cards a bit too high to land in the favored 15, among them being Russell Stonehouse, pro at Riverside, and Johnny Vaughan, Pleasant Run. nun THE fact that Marse Bill Heinlein made the grade by the width of a putter head doesn't cause his chances at Springfield to appear any less promising than those of Johnny Revolta, who set the pace at Chicago with a 143. Bill is just as much a member of the Chicago contingent as Revolta, and when they get on that big Baltusrol course they’ll be starting from scratch along with 168 other question marks. Like most other sizable golf tourneys, the Open usually finds the unknown newcomers crowding the veterans. Look at Butch Kreuger and Sam Parks last year. So, who's to say Bill doesn’t have a spanking good chance to finish in the money. n n n Stonehouse missed out hy four strokes when he hanged off a 75-81—156. Vaughn turned in 81-83—164. Other Hoosiers who landed outside the select circle were Johnny Watson, South Bend. 156: Jack Folan, Gary, 179; Don Swisher,

South Bend, 166; John Mislan, Gary, 163, and John Jewett, Garv, 159. MUM Revolta. f g. a. top-money winner, found his 143 just one stroke better than the card of veteran Tommy Armour. Medinah pro. Tony Penna. Chicago Italian, followed one step behind the silverthatched Scot. Other qualifiers were Gunnar Nelson. Rockford. 111., 76-71—147; John Toman. 76-72—148: Eddie Williams. 69-79—148; -Bill Taylor, Detroit, 77-72—149; A1 Huske, 7674—150; Ralph Gudahl. Los Angeles, 75-75—150; ‘John A. Huston, 79-71—150; ’Harvey Sheppard. 7476—150; Johnny Bulla. 74-77—15i< Bob McDonald. 75-77—152; ’Charles Evans Jr., 74-76—152, and Heinlein. (’Amateur.) A couple of disappointed veterans were A1 Espinosa and Jock Hutchison. Jock Hutchison Jr. also finished too high. nun THOSE who were counted out in the Windy City meet may find considerable solace by taking a glance around at others who fell by the wayside in 27 districts yesterday.
