By Eddie Ash NEW ATHLETICS ARE SURPRISE a a a MANAGER MACK SMILES AGAIN

D ON ’T forget the extra “x” on Jimmy Foxx’s name in requesting an autographed photo. . . . The slugger won’t send one if you do.. .. Bill Tilden’s tennis troupe drew only 200 spectators in two days recently.... He’s finally worn out nls public.... Interest in amateur tennis is on the up.... Bdt the pros have lost their appeal. . . . Philly fans are coming back to the Athletics.... The experts predicted the Mackmen would fall out of the league. .. . But old Connie fooled ’em. Pooch Puccinelli is potent with the bludgeon and is making up for much of the punch lost when Foxx was sold. Crowds of 10,000 and 12,000 saw the A’s off on their current western trip. . . . Rabbit Warstler, the former Indianapolis star, is weak with the stick, but is hustling and doing good service around the keystone.... Lou Finney is holding down first.... He is a former outfielder.... A better than fair allaround ball player. n m * a a a MANAGER MACK is beaming again and believes his rebuilding campaign Is destined to produce results and sharpen the Interest of the customers. . . . The old team Just went through the motions last year and finished a poor last In spite of a lot of natural power. However, Connie’s explanation of his winter cales of stars Is as follows: "There was a great deal of misunderstanding in connection with the sale of Foxx, Cramer, McNair, and Marcum. I was to blame for some share of it. Perhaps I should have explained that we had to dispose of them in order to meet our bills and start the 1936 season. As I told the fans of Philadelphia at a recent dinner, ‘All that I and my associates have to show for our many years in baseball is Shlbe Park, and there it stands op Lehigh Avenue.’ ”

Gordon (Dusty) Rhodes, who couldn’t win for either the Yankees or Red Sox, has come to life under Mack and is pitching brilliantly. . . He shut out the strong Cleveland club yesterday with three hits. . . . Dusty is 28 and may go on from here. . . He is a six-foot righthander. HUM ISADORE GREENBERG, of 3123 Central-av, has received a letter from Hank Greenberg, Detroit’s Injured first sacker In which the Tiger’s powerhouse says he hopes to be back in the game some time in June. . . . Hank has many admirers in Indianapolis. ana John Henry Lewis believes that Joe Louis’ reign of terror among the heavyweights .will be threatened within a year or two by another Negro, Leroy Haynes, formerly of Fort Wayne. . . . I'he light-heavy champ aims to pick up sufficient poundage to make it a three-cor-nered affair. u a Obeying orders from Detroit, the Portland club of the Pacific Coast League has switched Dixie Howell from shortstop to right field. . . . Howell is owned by the Tigers, who gave him a chunk of dough to sign after the Alabama U., star monopolized the headlines playing football. a a * EVEN the G-men would have had to step lively to catch Red Killefer’s Indians yesterday. . . . They stole 10 sacks and collected enough hits to win a couple of games. . . . Both Milwaukee catchers were on the crippled list and Rookie Smith from the Wisconsin f.tate League didn’t know what it v as all about. . . . And Rookie Dizzy Trout, on the Hoosier mound, had a field day in pitching and batting.. .. Pilot Killefer flabbergasted his critics. . . . Instead of finishing with a rookie hurler he started one, and got away with it! * a tt The White Sox were compelled to fight with their backs to the wall to save the game yesterday after piling up a 10-1 lead on Washington. . . . Score: 13 to 12. . . . And it wasn’t softball, despite the size of that count. a a a ROY ROBERT PFLEOFR. of the Minneapolis Millers has become a home run specialist and Miller fans idolize him. ... He is a rookie inflelder out of the Texas League and is a graduate of Ohio University, 1933, where he played on the nine and basketball team. . . . This is his fourth year in league ball. ... He bats lefthanded.

Rookie Trout Stars in Box and at Plate Tribe Youngster Paces Team to 15-6 Win; Fausett Sets Record. Times Special MILWAUKEE, May 15.—Having tired of taking it on the chin, the Indians took it out on the Brewers yesterday and pounded the sphere to all corners of Borchert Field. It was the last game of the series and

the Hoosiers captured it, 15-6. The Tribe’s next stop is Toledo, where a round of four tilts will begin tomorrow. Eastern clubs of the league had an open date today as they traveled from the West. The schedule calls for a sin-

gle battle in Toledo tomorrow night, a doubleheader Sunday afternoon and a single on Monday night, after which the Hoosiers will return home to open the night season at Perry Stadium Tuesday with Columbus as an opponent. Bats in Four Runs Paul (Dizzy) Trout, righijianded rookie up from Terre Haute, was the Redskins’ hero yesterday as they slaughtered the Brewers. He got by in fair fashion on the mound and joined the massacre by collecting a single, double and triple. The youngster batted in four runs. Buck Fausett, Tribe third sacker, pilfered five bases and established a new record for the American Association. Previous high was four by Sammy Bohne, Minneapolis, In 1927, and Joe Kuhel, Kansas City, in 1929. Fausett stole second twice, third twice and home once. Vincent Sherlock also starred on the paths with three thefts. Smith, a youngster filling in for the Brewers’ two regular catchers, who are injured, was unable to head off the Hoosiers. v Homer by Riddle Johnny Riddle served notice in the second, inning that the Indians were out for blood when he walloped a homer with a mate on base. The Tribesters were worked to a high pitch to get out of their slump and scored in each of the first five innings for 10 runs, and then rallied again in the seventh -for a cluster of five markers. Nineteen hits bounced off the Tribesters’ bats and they played errorless ball and ran the bases to the tune of 10 thefts. This equals the league record for a team, posted by Toledo in 1926. It was a bad day all around for the Brewers. They erred three times and were held to eight hits by a kid pitcher. Garland Braxton, usually a puzzle to the Indians, was bombarded and was relieved by Ulrich, who gave way to Johnson. Mize Scores Kayo at Irvington A. C . Clarence Mize, welterweight fighter, scored a first-round kayo over Joe Lantman in the scheduled fiveround windup of the first weekly mitt card at the Irvington A. C. last night In other matches, Harold Danford decisioned Paul White, heavyweight; Jack Med wick outpointed Paul Mason, flyweights, and Robert Beaumont won over Charles Mason, flyweights. The program is directed by Robert Gans, coach of the Irvington A. C.

SPEED 15 Likely to Vie for Post on First Day

500-Mile Trials to Open Tomorrow Morning; Gas Rule Important. BY HARRISON MILLER At least 15 thundering chargers may line up at the starting stripe of the two and one-half mile Indianapolis Motor Speedway track tomorrow in an attempt to survive the qualifications for the international sweepstakes here Memorial Day. At M tomorrow morning the entries for the twenty-fourth annual racing spectacle will be permitted to complete registration for the flnai 500-mile marathon which culminates with the coronation of the 1936 speed king. A survey of the three lanes of garages at Gasoline Alley yesterday revealed that nearly every one of the 49 owners intends to send his pilot to the front in an attempt to land a berth among the leaders for the take-off on Memorial Day. Rigid Gasoline Test A conservative estimate places the early contenders at slightly more than dozen. Although many of the speedsters have been on the scene for several days, few are believed ready to buck the rigid gasoline test which accompanies the official tryouts. No less than eight brand new motors—all of them of the Offenhauser design-have been bolted to racing chasis, and should be ready for action when called upon by the owners. However, it is doubtful if many of the stables will send the chargers into the official trials because a scant few have been tested for gasoline consumption. Last year, nine racers were qualified on the opening day. Approximately that number will pull up under the barrier tomorrow. Mays Is Ready Rex Mays, the heavy-footed pilot from California, who cannon-balled his way into the pole position last year with a top average of 120 miles an hour, is expected'to be ready for the opening clarion call tomorrow morning. The Pacific coast champion was one of ten drivers who whirled around the brick saucer yesterday, and, although dissatisfied with the precision of his Gilmore Special, he is expected to iron out the difficulties today. The opening day in 1935 sent the following eight drivers into the three rows immediately following Mays at the pole last year. Bill Cummings, Tony Gulotta, Chet Gardner, Floyd Roberts, A1 Gordon, Lou Meyer, Ralph Hepburn and Fred Frame. Two of these have not answered the 1936 call. Gordon was killed In a spin at the Ascot track in California, and Frame temporarily has hung up his goggles. Hepburn is on the scene, but his charger is not prepared for a try at the front rows. Mauri Rose and Russ Snowberger joined the list on the second day last year. More Trials Sunday On all other days of qualifications, drivers will be permitted to take the track at 1 p. m. Trials will be continued Sunday and probably one day next week. They will be resumed on Saturday of the following week-end and will continue until May 28, two days preceding the great speed classic. Those who qualify tomorrow automatically will earn places in the front ranks. Those 'who come under the wire on succeeding days will take their places in the rows immediately behind the leaders according to the speed they record in trials. Only 33 cars will start on May 30, and even those who pass the test tomorrow must be among the 33 fastest cars at the track.
