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

jpERHAPS 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 lloosiers 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, opening on Tuesday. .•. Ford of Indiana, numbering about 125, will add to the occasion by attending in a body. ... It will be a box party affair. nan n b tt WESTERN 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 Pressnell doing smart chucking for the Brewers. ... It was l-to-0. . . . Bill Shores, on the K. C. rubber, also pitched splendidly nun BUB Indianapolis now owns two A A. baserunning titles . . . Doug Baird, Tribe third sacker in 1921, pilfered 72. which still stands up as high for a season . . . and Buck Fausett posted 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. B B B 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. B B B 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 fi's a good guess there's something seriously wrong. ' a b b Laverne Fator. former jockey w'ho was injured seriously in a fall out of a hospital window at Jamaica yesterday, won §2,408,720 for his employers during his career in the saddle. Biggest winnings were on Pompey in the 1925 Belmont Futurity, 858,480, and on Sea pa Flow in the 1926 Futurity, §65,980, BUB 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 team officials are annoyed, to say nothing of Allen, who is reported steaming. ana BROOKLYN police say that it was Frankie Frisch who was armed uuth 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-grandsta .id melee. b n n If Max Schmelling pulls an estimated §300,000 from the Joe Louis bout next month, his earnings over an eight-year stretch will be §l,500,000. Dempsey. Tunney and Jack Sharkey topped that sum. tt B B ALTHOUGH Charlie 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.

Tentative plans are being made for the formation of a West Central Indiana Athletic Association with a membership of eight high schools, according to a statement issued today by Justin Marshall, athletics director at George Washington High School.

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 Gulotta 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. Rose and Gulotta survived crashes yesterday with minor injures. The 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. 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 Mever, 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 the front ranks probably will be ready 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 Gilmore 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 Bovle Specials. Flovd 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. Softball The Broad Ripple Athletic Club is to play the Real Silk softball team on Sunday at 2:30. All players are requested to be at Sixty-first-st and Broadway at 2 p.m. A gam eis wanted for next Wednesday at 5:30 p. m. by the A. Cjs. Call Humboldt 4673.

TEE TIME

/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 whone 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

Entries may be filed at the tee. BUB 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 I!ole, 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. B B B 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.

Patty Berg Is Early British Links Leader American Schoolgirl Cards 77 for Brilliant Total of 156. By United Press SOUTHPORT, England, May 16. —Little Patty Berg, 18-year-old Minneapolis schoolgirl, led the early finishers in today’s final qualifying play in the British women’s golf championships. Patty toured the wind-swept Southport and Ainsdale course in 77, two over par, to turn in an aggregate of 156 for the 36-hole qualifying rounds. The Mid-Western red-head, defying chilly weather and a heavy wind, played steady golf to cover each of today’s nine holes one stroke over par. She went out in 38—the same as she did yesterday. But coming home, Patty bettered yesterday’s score of 41 by two strokes. All of Patty’s American teammates, including the opening day leader Mrs. Frank Goldthwaite of Fort Worth, Tex., were scheduled to get off later in the day. Vyvian Lamb of Scotland, who was bracketed in second place along with two British stars at 76 at the end of the opening round slumped with an 82 today for an aggregate of 158. Coming home on the last four, Patty had one birdie and three pars. She had a two on the 135-yard fifteenth—shortest hole on the course —and finished off with five for the sixteenth and seventeenth and four on the eighteenth. Patty won the deuce with an eight-foot putt that made her smile. She got off a 220-yard drive on the sixteenth and landed a perfect number four wood over a huge bunker just short of the green on the hole known as “Gumbleys”—the toughest one on the course. On the seventeenth, she was just short of the green and chipped up weakly. A 30-foot approach putt saved her, however. She was short with a spoon on the eighteenth, over-strong with a chip but sank a 20-foot putt for a par four. Charlotte Glutting of South Orange, N. J., who had an 82 yesterday rounded the turn in 40, three over par. She took a birdie two on the first hole, sinking a 45-foot putt. On the third, she took a birdie three with a six-foot putt. On the par four fourth she got into trouble and needed a seven. She trapped a 250yard drive and the needed three strokes to get out. Her pitch was short and she sunk a 30-foot putt to save her from further grief. She went one over on the sixth when an 18-inch putt refused to drop for a par four. On the eighth, a 155-yard hole, she landed within 15 feet of the pin but needed three putts to get home for a four, one over par.

Butler Nine Bows to Sycamores, 9-8 Bulldogs 'Blow’ Contest With Six Miscues. Butler University dropped its fourth straight game yesterday afternoon, losing a 9-to-8 decision to Indiana State Teachers. Cody Burdette, Bulldog second baseman, led a 14-hit assault on Carr, Sycamore pitcher, while the Sycamores were nicking Fohl and Corbett for only eight, but erratic work in the field gave the visitors the verdict. Burdette clouted two triples and a pair of singles in four times at bat. Butler overcame a seven-run Sycamore lead by knotting the count in the seventh. Errors gave the winners two runs in the eighth. Score: Indiana State 005 020 020 —9 8 2 Butler 000 023 210—8 14 6 Carr and Waters; Fohl, Corbett and Costas.

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 and attempted to fall into a clinch. As he grabbed hold, Thomjjson 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.

BY LESLIE AVERY United Pres* Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, May 16.—The Chicago White Sox were out to run their six straight victories into tho major league season's longest winning streak as they faced off today with the New York Yankees in the 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 Detroit 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

Averill and Hal Trosky homered for two of Cleevland's 15 hits. Oral Hildebrand gave up only six hits to the Sox.
