By Eddie iAsh TRIBE OUTFIELD IS PUNCHLESS mam BOSTON BEES DOING ALL RIGHT

r JpiIE Indians are showing a little improvement. . . . They were only two runs out in front yesterday before being caught. . . . The tip-off on the team’s power is revealed by the batting order, with one fly chaser hitting sixth and another eighth. When an outfielder is shoved down next to the pitcher there are two strikes on him.... There’s something in anew name after all. ... The Boston Bees have toughened up since discarding the name Braves. Bill McKechnie, the Keeper of the Bees, has his 1935 cellar dwellers in fifth place and only three and one-half games below the league-leading Cardinals. .. . The National League is staging a hoss race. .. Eight clubs under a blanket. ... The difference between first and last is only five and onehalf games. ... In the American it’s 13 J />. ana a a a PITCHER RAY BENGE of tne Bees has won four games and lost none. . . And Danny MacFaydm, washed up last year, has won four In six starts. . . . The Giants to* k over second place yesterday without playing as the Pirates lost. ... I ill Werber of the Red Sox beat Detroit with a home run with two mal?s aboard. . . . Monte Pearson of the Yanks downed the Browns for his No. 4 win. a m m ana John Dlckshot (not Deadeye Dick I) husky Waukegan (111.) youth trying to break into the Pittsburgh outfield, has had a remarkable rise. . . . He never played in a game of baseball of any kind, amateur, semipro or anything else, until his last year at high school in 1930. Baseball uniforms as they were in 1876, will be worn by the teams that take the field in Boston on June 24 for the game headlining the sixtieth anniversary celebration of the National League. Ye olden-time contest will be staged in addition to the regularly scheduled tilt between the Bees and Cubs. . . . The 1876 rules of play will be followed, with 10 men on a side, the umpire seated in a chair halfway to first base. ... Nice target! —— __

A shortage of baseball ticker tape around the country was reported yesterday. ... So much of it was used marking up home runs hit off the Indianapolis pitchers at Milwaukee. . . . Lin Stortj socked two hatting left-handed against Page and one batting right-handed against Sharp . . .And Gullic of the Brewers also hit one. a a a ft'heke is a feud on between New York baseball writers and Larry MacPhail, fiery business manager of the Cincy Reds. . . . Another feud is between MacPhail and the Cincy police department. . . . Larry keeps the publicity going even if he has to make enemies. JIMMY SNYDER won the Midwest indoor midget auto racing title after eight months of competition in Chicago. Pat Warren was runner-up. . . . The boys how will open the outdoor season with their doodle bugs. . . . Midget racing failed to pay in Indianapolis. . . . Too much noise and fumes. a a u Tony Camoncri and Jimmy Mcl.arnin proved that it is a simple thing to stage a good fight. ... All you need arc two good fighters. tt tt tt SUMMER in Australia starts in December and that’s when Barney Ross will defend his welterweight crown against Jack Carroll, the “Down Under” boxing wizard. ... It will be the first world title match held in Australia since Jack Johnson annexed the heavyweight belt from Tommy Burns in 1908. Ross and Carroll are matched for 15 rounds. . . . Carroll is welter king of Australia and is 30 years old. . . . Fifteen rounds are a lot of rounds for a vet. Ross is 26. a a a Yankee club officials and Babe Ruth are beginning to iron out a few misunderstandings. . . . The Bambino has been given five season passes to Yankee Stadium where he used to pack ’em in. . . . However, they are for admission only. ... He has to pay extra for box seats, where he relaxes.

scratched and Bien Joli was jostled about on the far turn and did not threaten thereafter at Churchill Downs, Col. Edward Riley Bradley strikes back in The Preakness with Bow and Arrow. Bow and Arrow was the winner of two races at Havre de Grace, beating Jean Bart in one of them, and the son of WhichoneBeaming Over sparkled in taking a mile ana 70-yard number in 1:45 1-5 at Pimlico the other afternoon. Bow and Arrow is an extremely dangerous contender in The Preakness. The Greentree Stable’s Memory Book and Brush Hook are in great shape, too, but my selections are Bold Venture, Granville, and Transporter. It will be recalled that the well-liked Granville, which ran second to Teufel in the Wood Memorial, unseated Jimmy Stout at the start of the Derby. Transporter, son of The Porter-Sun Agnes, will run coupled with Giant Killer in the colors of W. M. Jeffords, who has been given the call on the services of America’s premier big stake rider, Wayne Wright. Raymond (Sonny) Workman may ride Bold Venture in place of Ira Hanfovd, the 18-year-old apprentice who turned in such a fine job on the chestnut in the Derby.

Local Driver Finds Rebuilt Oval to Liking ‘Wild Bill’ Presses Throttle Despite Blustery Wind at Speedway. BY HARRISON MILLER “Wild Bill” Cummings, Indianapolis’ favorite roaring rider of the brick lanes (and asphalt turns) is back on the scene for the fourth Indianapolis Motor Speedway 500-mile classic Memorial Day still possessing a tendency to “hot foot it” around the oval. The daredevil pilot who, It was said, had grown more conservative since thundering to first place in the 1934 event, braved a blustery wind and driving drizzle yesterday afternoon when he returned to the city to complete the Boyle Products driving team. Despite the heavy wind, Wild Bill jumped into driving togs for a whirl around the saucer and featured his workout with four fast laps that convinced those on hand that Bill’s throttle foot is as heavy as ever. Millers at Track Bill warmed his engine briefly and then set sail against the timer’s clock. He turned in laps at 114, 115, 117 and 118 i files an hour, driving down the straightaways and laying into the curves in a manner reminiscent of his conquering drives of previous years. The other Boyle stable pilots, Chet and A1 Miller of Detroit, also are on hand. Al, the former newspaper engraver, has been at the track for several days preparing for the grind in his rear-drive mount which handles well on the remodeled track. Al went out of the race last year after turning 445 miles at a fast clip. Chet, the shorter member of the pair, will be behind the wheel of the front -drive car in which he finished tenth last year. The car was acquired by Mike Beyle, Chicago sportsman, and has been completely rebuilt with anew motor and streamlining to increase its speed. Chet is a veteran at the Speedway. He has traveled 2149 miles here since 1927. Cummings, the ace of the team, has returned from a 28-day test tour on which he visited 28 cities and covered more than 10,000 miles. After winning the top prize in 1934, (Turn to Page Twenty-Three)

Butler Defeated; Opposes De Pauw Indiana Raps Bulldogs, B*3, on Extra-Base Hits. Butler University’s baseball team returned to action today against the De Pauw University nine after dropping yesterday’s tilt to Indiana University, 8 to 3, at Fairview. Extra-base blows provided a margin for the Hoosiers who nicked Norval Corbett for nine hits while the home team garnered eight scattered bingles off Louis Greiger. Clark, right fielder for I. U., smacked a home run and a triple. A base on balls, hit batsman and double gave the visitors a two-
