By Eddie Ash HOOSIERS ON LAST ROAD LAP m m m THEY’LL BE HEADIN’ HOME SOON

jpERIIAPS better days are ahead for Red Killefer’s Indians. ... They are on the last lap of a long road trip, and with any kind of luck at Toledo the night opener here Tuesday is expected to bring the fans a-running. • . That 15-to-6 victory at Milwaukee the other day may restore the Tribe’s confidence. . . . The Hoosiers had a day off yesterday while traveling and will swing back into action under the lights on the banks of the Maumee tonight. The Toledo visit calls for four games, tonight, two tomorrow afternoon and the finale Monday night. . . . Columbus’ Red Birds will oppose the Redskins in the first 1936 night series at Perry Stadium. . . . Ford salesmen of Indiana, numbering about 125, will add to the occasion by attending in a body. ... It will be a box party affaira w tt u tt A. A. teams met each other yesterday for the first time this season and the league-leading Saints were trounced by the champion Millers. Milwaukee shut out Kansas City with Forest Pressncll doing smart chucking for the Brewers. ... It was l-to-0. . . . Bill Shores, on the K. C. rubber, also pitched splendidly Indianapolis now owns two A A. baserunning titles . . . Doug Baird, Tribe third sackrr in 1921, pilfered 72, which still stands up as high for a season . . . and Buck Fausett pasted anew one-game mark this week with five thefts. Moreover, the Indians share with Toledo the league record of 10 stolen bases in one game.

Fausett is hustling and may develop into an idol. He’s always on the go and is hatting well over .300. Fans like the speed merchants. And a fast runner seems even faster under the lights. The town is speedminded anyway, at this time, what with the 500-mile boys roaring over the bricks shooting for high in the time tests. tt tt a ORAL HILDEBRAND, the tall Hoosier with Cleveland, silenced the bats of the Golden Red Sox yesterday and turned in a neat performance for Steve O’Neill’s pastimers. The former Butler U. ace and ex-Tribester held the Beantown sluggers to six hits and two runs. a a a LON WARNEKE, chief mound hope of the Cubs and one of the best flippers in the National League in 1935, has been belted out of the box five times in six starts this season. Lon injured his paywing in the fifth game of the World Series with Detroit last fall and it’s a good guess there's something seriously wrong. a a a THE American League has a controversy over heckling. It seems that rivals of the Cleveland club make it a point to “ride" Pitcher Johnny Allen and the Forest City tram officials are annoyed, to say nothing of Allen, who is reported steaming. a a a BROOKLYN police say that it was Frankie Frisch who was armed with a bat during the recent fight between Casey Stengel, Dodgers’ manager, and Leo Durocher, Cardinal shortstop. The cops say they disarmed Frisch before they reached the adversaries and broke up the under-the-grandstand melee. a a a If Max Schniclling pulls an estimated $300,000 from the Joe Louis bout next month, his earnings over an eight-year stretch will be sl,500,000. Dempsey, Tunney and Jack Sharkey topped that sum. ALTHOUGH CharUe Gehringer, Detroit second sacker, is considered one of the silent men of the American League who never talks on the field, he once won an oratorical contest in his school days.

High School Loop Is Being Formed Washington, Seven Other Schools on Charter List. Tentative plans are being made for the formation of a West Central Indiana Athletic Association with a membership of eight h ; gh schools, according to a statement issued today by Justin Marshall, athletics director at George Washington High School. Although definite arrangements have not been formulated, the eight schools which have agreed to participate in a program including at least three major sports events are Een Davis. Brazil, Greenfield, Manual. Plainfield. Southport, Warren Central and Washington. Further plans probably wi 1 include the scheduling of minor a ports between the member schools.

Indians Land Ox Eckhardt From Dodgers Outfielder Batted .399 in Coast League; Reports ‘ at Toledo. . Oscar (Ox) Eckhardt, stalwart outfielder who batted .399 in the Pacific Coast League last year, was obtained by the Indianapolis Indians from the Brooklyn Dodgers today and will report to the Hoosiers in Toledo tomorrow. The big fellow comes to the Tribe in the Johnny Cooney deal and is expected to add important power to the team’s attack. Oscar is a veteran, but his 1935 record indicates he is right at home in Class AA company. Playing with the San Francisco Missions last year, Eckhardt participated in 172 games, collected 283 hits and batted in 118 runs. Extra base hits consisted of 40 doubles, 11 triples and two home runs. Oscar edged, out Joe Di Maggio for the 1935 batting championship of the Coast loop. He is 34, bats lefthanded and throws righthanded. The new Indian stands 6 feet 1 inch and weighs 195 pounds. Dale Miller, Indianapolis business manager, said today that the Tribe will land another player, a pitcher or outfielder, from Brooklyn in two or three weeks to complete the transaction for Cooney.

FRED FRAME TO DRIVE IN RACE CLASSIC

1932 Winner Re-Enters as Trials Begin

Tony Gi|lotta and Mechanic Resting Easily After Crackup Here. BY HARRISON MILLER Two less cars were prepared to circle the brick oval at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway this morning when qualification trials started at 10 o’clock, and the mechanical staffs in Tony Gulotta’s and Mauri Roses’ garages hastened to prepare their wrecked mounts for later tests. Simultaneously, Fred Frame, winner of the 1932 Speedway 500-mile race, re-entered the field after an an announced intention to retire. He will pilot one of the Burd Piston Ring Specials entered by Lou Moore, who arrived in the city from the West coast yesterday. Rase and Gulotta survived crashes I yesterday with minor injuries. The i two mishaps occurred almost simultaneously during practice spins, and both accidents were attributed to mechanical defects in the front right wheels. Gulotta and his mechanic were reported “resting easily” today in local hospitals, suffering more from shock than injury. Rose and his riding aid, Earl Frost of Chicago, were shaken by their mishap, but were not injured. Gulotta went into a spin on the northwest curve where Doc MacKenzie averted serious consequences last Sunday. It is the spot where the most dangerous hump on the track was removed this spring. Although the car body was bashed and scraped in turning over after striking the retaining wall, the motor was not believed damaged and should be repaired in time for the later trials. Receive Minor Injuries The driver and his mechanic, Carl Riscigno of Detroit, received superficial lacerations and abrasions. Gulotta and Rex Mays, the latter in his Gilmore Special, were cruising and had passed Rose, who threw a wheel and coasted into the outside wall. t Mays, following Gulotta, avoided a collision by riding low on the dirt apron. None of the drivers was traveling in excess of 90 miles an hour, it was learned authoritatively. The return of Fred Frame to the roaring road which led to fame and victory in 1932 came as a surprise at Gasoline Alley. The gallant, bronzed veteran who started racing here in 1916 had not been mentioned as a contender in the 1936 marathon until Lou Moore arrived yesterday. Frame joins two other former winners, Bill Cummings and Lou Meyer, in quest for fame and glory this year. Official qualifications were scheduled to start at 10 today and at 1 p. m. tomorrow. One day may be set aside next week, and the final period of trials will be started next Saturday and continue until the Thursday preceding the gasoline sweepstakes on Memorial Day. Fowler, Winnai Named The accidents placed a damper on late afternoon tests. Many cars were out for test spins, but again delayed making fuel tests. Twentyone pilots were on the track yesterday with few of them bearing down on the throttle. Consequently, fewer than the 15 expected to vie for ti e Iron, ranks probably will be ref dv for action. Chet Gardner. Shorty Cantlon. Lou Meyers, Billy Winn and Ted Horn were the most active. Ken Fowler has been named to hold the wheel on J. S. Carew’s entry, and turned several laps before leaving for Langhorne, Pa., for Sunday’s race. Freddie Winnai, jovial Philadelphia speedster, who has finished in the money several times, will guide George Lyon’s car with which Jimmie Snyder thundered to victory in 1931. it has been rebuilt and anew Offenhauser motor added. He completed negotiations yesterday and immediately crawled behind the wheel for a practice run. The Deßaets Special arrived yesterday and Emil Andres of Chicago warmed it up for qualifications. Wilbur Shaw rolled on to the track slightly before dusk with his new Gilmoie with the “vacuum sweeper” radiator, but closing time prevented an indicative test. Others on the oval yesterday were Chet Miller and Cummings in the front-drive Boyle Specials, Floyd Roberts in his Burd Special. George Barringer in Phil Shafer's entry, Doc MacKenzie in Kelly Petillo’s 1935 championship mount, and Cliff Bergere in Leon Duray’s Bowes Seal Fast Special. Genial A. B. “Deacon” Litz appeared again in his own entry, A1 Putnam was back for more experience in the Ivan Mikan Special, Ray Pixley introduced the Clarence Felkner entry and George Connors tested the service of the MarksMiller mount.

TEE TIME ♦ * ik

/CONCERNING the state P. G. A. Sweepstakes at Hillcrest Monday, Tourney Manager Max Buell wishes to stress that both gross and net prizes are on the bargain counters for amateur participants. Amateurs may drive several hard bargains in the merchandise prize department because they have been nicely supported by the handicap committee. Each amateur's stroke allowance will be determined by his firstcolumn regular P. G. A. handicap multiplied by four. That is, a player whose pro-amateur gift ratings are 3-4-5 will draw a handicap of 12 (4x3) in the sweepstakes. Roy Smith is the host pro at Hillcrest and it will be the first P, G, A. event held in his garden this season. The card calls for 18 holes of medal play. Members of the state P. G. A. and all amateurs are eligible. tt tt tt JUST to keep one jump ahead of the calendar, here’s the when-and-where concerning the fourth pro-amateur of the season which follows the Sweepstakes on the P. G. A. schedule. The time is May 25, which as you may guess falls on Monday, since all pro-amateur dates do. Popular Forest Park in Noblesville, where Ralph Stonehouse holds forth, is the site. Handicaps are to prevail and partners will be selected. Two amateurs may pair up using their P. G. A. handicaps. The distance is 18 holes, the starting time, 1 o’clock. A reminder: Any club wishing to hold one of the series of tournaments should communicate with Max Buell at 310 Ridgeview-dr, Indianapolis, tt tt tt HILLCREST will be a busy spot tomorrow as well as Monday. Club members hold their Grand Opening tomorrow and announce “not an idle moment from dawn to dark.” Several interesting events are billed, including a dutch lunch and a chicken dinner, but since this department deals with greens rather than spinach and sand wedges instead of sandwiches I must stick to my subject. The morning card calls for an 18-hole blind par contest for men. In the afternoon an 18-hole twoball foursome will feature, along with an exhibition match. Johnny McGuire and Harriet Randall are to team against Roy Smith, Hillcrest pro, and Carolin Varin, in the exhibition fray, starting at 1:30. tt tt tt THE first 13-hole medal handicap tournament on the summer schedule of the Indianapolis Public Links Association starts tomorrow at Riverside at 12:30. A large field is reported already on file and more entries are expected at the tee. The municipal association is sponsoring the tourney series this year in addition to the qualification trials for the team to reprseent this city in the national meet. Anew system of determining handicaps has been adopted for tomorow’s event. Several low gross and net prizes are offered. The first inter-club matches of a series to determine the city municipal course champion were scheduled this afternoon. Pleasant Run’s eight-man team invaded Coffin and Riverside was host to Sarah Shank. n tt a THE high school laddies were going at it in their annual j state tournament at Speedway to- | day. A team foursome which included Shortridge of Indianapolis, the defending champion, led a 46-

squad field off on the 18-hole journey at 8 o'clock this morning. tt tt tt TALK about fancy putting! Here’s what Mrs. Frank Goldthwaite of Texas did on the incoming nine when she paced qualifiers in the British Women’s Open with a par 75 yesterday: Tenth Hole, 420 Yards Ran down nine-foot putt for par 5. Eleventh Hole Sank 30-foot putt for par 4. Thirteenth Green—Tapped 12foot putt for par 4. Fifteenth—Stroked in 45-foot putt for birdie 2. Seventeenth Another 12-foot put for birdie 3. Mrs. Goldthwaite made Nos. 12 and 14 in steady pars and went one over on the sixteenth and eighteenth. tt tt tt WHEN Mrs. Maureen Orcutt Crews finished with an 82, seven over par, she was quite an unhappy person, believing the card was too high to get in the starting field. “Gosh, gosh, gosh!” she said. "I sure saw all there is to see on this course.’! But observers said anything lower than a 90 probably would stay in the running. Germany Defeats Hungary Netters Von Gramm and Lund Take Cup Doubles Play.

Honors Sway in Trials for British Meet

Patty Berg Is Outscored on Links; Bridget Newell Totals 152. By United Brest SOUTHPORT. England, May 16 The lead swayed dizzily back and forth between American and British golf stars today as the field completed final qualifying rounds in the British women’s championship. Early leader was 18-year-old Patty Berg of Minneapolis, who added a 77 to her 79 yesterday for an aggregate of 156. She was displaced by Defending Champion Wanda Morgan of England, who had at 76 for 154. Miss Morgan’s lead was shortlived, however, for a few minutes later plump Bridget Newell of Derbyshire, England, came in with a par-shattering 74, one under, to forge in front with 152. Miss Newell was the first competitor to break par in the qualifying rounds, which began yesterday over the tricky Southport and Ainsdale course. Charlotte Glutting of South Orange, N. J., had a 77 for 159—a low enough total to assure her a spot in the group of low 64 and ties which will start match play Monday. Mrs. Leona D. Cheney of Santa Monica, Cal., who had an 80 yesterday, shot a 77 today to move into the 157 bracket. Mrs. Crews High Member Mrs. Maureen Orcutt Crews of Coral Gables, Fla., turned in the poorest score of the Curtis Cup group when she shot an 80 for an aggregate of 162. Rain started to fall when three Americans, Mrs. Vare, Mrs. Goldthwaite and Marion Miley of Lexington, Ky„ were on their last nine. Mrs. Vare shot 40 on both nines for an 80 and 157 aggregate. With most of the field home, it was a cinch all eight American Curtis cuppers would qualify. Mrs. Goldthwaite Slumps Mrs. Frank Goldthwaite, yesterday’s leader, slumped with an 81 and went into the 156 bracket along with Patty Berg. It was certain they would lead the American contingent into the match play rounds because Marion Miley, the only United States player not finished, could not possibly catch them. Mrs. Opal Hill took a 43 on the inward nine for an 82, seven over par, and an aggregate of 161. Diana Fishwick of England, champion in 1930, forged up into the 157 bracket with a 41-40 aggregate.

Big Elza Uses New Strategy Local Mitt Champ Prepares Rival for Kayo With ‘Merry-Go-Round.’ Elza Thompson, giant Negro who holds the city Golden Gloves heavyweight championship, has introduced anew merry-go-round “hold” to the amateur prize fight book of strategy. Elza employed the system last night to prepare Bob Longfellow, state A. A. U. champion from Kokomo, for a knockout punch in the second round of the feature scrap on Roy Wallace’s show at the Armory. After holding the bull-shouldered Negro even in the first round, Longfellow left his chin exposed for a couple of hard right punches ard attempted to fall into a clinch. As he grabbed hold, Thompson whirled him around and around, like the windup of an adagio act. When the merry-go-round stopped, it was an easy matter for Elza to flatten the befogged Kokomo youth with a wellaimed blow. Harry Brown, local welterweight champion, returned to action and barely eked out a three-round decision over Bob Wallace of Lafayette. Decisions must be given in all amateur bouts, otherwise it might easily have been called a draw. In other scraps, all scheduled for three rounds, Johnny Krukemeier disposed of Bill Wilson, Lafayette lightweight, with a solar plexus punch in the second round; Ray Brown, Lafayette flyweight, scored an impressive second round knockout over Rural Tyler, local Negro; George Hoyt, middleweight, outpointed Don Buckalew, Fort Harrison; Joe Faccone, featherweight, whipped Bob Malvey, Lafayette; Tommy Davidson, featherweight, defeated Dave Norris, and Carl Hamilton knocked out Jimmy Huston, Fort Harrison lightweight.

Chisox Strive for New High Winning Row Victory Today Over Yankees Would Give Chicagoans 7-Straight Record. BY LESLIE AVERY L’nitrd Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, May 16 —The Chicago White Sox were out to run their six straight victories into th® major league season's longest winning streak as they faced off today with the New York Yankees in th® last of a two-game series. A half dozen consecutive wins has been the jinx spot for teams this

year. The Cleveland Indians were stopped by the D e.t ro i t Tigers after winning six straight and the St. Louis Cardinals were halted at the same place by the Boston Bees. And it looks as though the White Sox might have a hard time in getting past six straight because if Vernon Gomez’ stomach ache is

cured he will get the Yankee pitching assignment this afternoon. In winning their last six. the White Sox bowled over the Washington Senators three times, the St. Louis Browns twice and the Yankees yesterday. Timely hitting and four New York errors enabled the Sox to win out, 9 to 7. Johnny Broaca lasted for the Yanks for three innings. Three others tried without avail. Murphy, the second hurler, was the loser. Phelps, who relieved Cain, was the victor. Piet and Sewell homered for the Sox but the star hitter was young Joe Di Maggio, rookie Yank outfielder. For the second straight day, he hit safely four times in five attempts. The second-place Boston Red Sox were slapped down, 7 to 2, by the third-place Cleveland Indians. Averill and Hal Trosky homered for two of Cleevland s 15 hits. Oral Hildebrand gave up only six hits to the Sox. Tigers Victim of Rally Philadelphia Athletics came from behind to whip the World Champion Detroit Tigers, 6to 5. Four straight hits in the seventh provided three runs, the margin of victory. The A s stopped Tiger threats four times with double plays. Four-baggers were clouted for the Athletics by Johnson and Moses. Bridges was the loser; Dietrich, the winner. Buck Newsom scattered nine hits as the Washington Senators clubbed out a 10 to 5 decision over the St. Louis Browns, whose three moundsmen gave up 17 safeties. The St. Louis Cardinals were stopped by the Boston Bees, 7 to 5, allowing the second place New York Giants to pull within a half game of the National League leaders.
