Morgan Beats Indians With Circuit Blow Bird First Sacker Wrecks Tinning in Seventh After Two Down. Times Special COLUMBUS, 0., May 27.—Red Killefer’s Indians and Burt Shotton’s Red Birds were even in the current series today following the slaughter of the Hoosiers yesterday when the locals hammered out 17 hits to win, 10-5. First Baseman Eddie Morgan’s home run with two runners on base in the seventh wrecked the Tribe hopes and the Birds went on from there to pile up the score. Bud Tinning was knocked out of the box in the eighth and was relieved by Gallivan, who failed to click and Jimmy Sharp finished the mound toil for the visitors. Columbus employed three hurlers, Stout, Cox and Potter. The Indians collected 11 hits, but couldn’t score after the sixth. Both Score in Sixth The Birds got away to a tworun lead in the initial frame in which Winsett touched Tinning for a home run. Indianapolis caught up with the home club in the fifth and took the lead in the sixth, 5-2. but the Birds also tallied once in their half. Heath hit a homer for the Tribe in the sixth with one man on, but the Hoosier efforts were wasted by the time Columbus finished batting in the seventh. For good measure, the Birds kept up the heavy bombardment and threw a four-run splurge in the eighth. Morgan batted in four runs, getting a double in addition to his game-winning homer. Doljack smacked two doubles to help the Bird attack. Riddle and Heath were Indianapolis’ best hitters. The former collected three successive blows, one for two bases. Tinning went to pieces unexpectedly in the seventh with his club out in front, 5-4. The first two Birds were retired when Winsett (Turn to Page 26) Game in Figures INDIANAPOLIS AB R H O A E Bluege, ss 5 0 0 3 7 1 Fausett, 3b 5 0 l 2 0 0 Eckhardt. if 5 0 1 l o 0 Riddle, c 5 2 3 1 1 0 Heath, lb 4 1 2 8 0 0 gei-ger cf 5 0 1 5 0 0 Siebert rs 3 1 1 1 0 0 Sherlock, 2b 2 1 1 2 1 0 Tinning, p 4 0 1 1 1 0 Gallivan, p 0 0 0 0 0 0 Sharp, p 0 0 0 0 1 0 Totals 38 5 11 24 11 T COLUMBUS ..ABR H O A E Ankenmann, ss 5 1 2 0 1 0 gush. 2b 5 0 2 0 3 0 Winsett, If 5 2 2 2 0 0 Clark, rs 3 1 1 1 0 0 Anderson, rs 2 1 2 0 0 0 Morgan, lb 4 1 2 9 0 0 Gutteridge, 3b 5 1 2 4 0 0 Doljack. cf 4 1 2 7 0 0 Owen, c 3 1 1 3 1 0 Stout, p 2 0 0 1 2 1 Hassler 1 0 0 0 0 0 Cox, p 0 0 0 0 0 0 Potter, p 1110 2 0 Totals 40 10 17 27 9 ~l Hassler batted for Stout in sixth.

ACE PILOTS ON QUALIFYING BORDER LINE

Former Race Winners Seek Late Entries Groom Cars for Final Bids in 6-Hour Trials at Speedway. One of the 14 drivers, planning to qualify today probably was erased from the list when Russ Snowberger of Detroit damaged his D & G Special in a crash on the southwest curve during a practice spin. He was uninjured, but the car was damaged. BY HARRISON MILLER The eleventh-hour scramble for positions in the starting lineup of the 500-mile race here Saturday finds some of the best money drivers and foremost figures of past races still on the outside with but six hours of qualifications slated today and tomorrow when the bar drops on the list of competitors. The track will be open today from 4 to sundown and tomorrow from 1 to 4. Last year, % the deadline closed with five cars waiting at the starting line in belated attempts to get under the wire. Only four positions remain open in the 33-car field, and it is believed that a speed of 112 miles an hour will be necessary to displace the slowest qualifiers to date and assure a place among the contenders. Last year 110.509 was the figure posted for the thirty-third place in the lineup. Motor trouble, accidents and needless delays in grooming the cars for the speed and gasoline tests have plunged 14 garages into frantic endeavors to assemble the mounts in working order for the exacting tests. Three Aces Hustle Three of the greatest money winners of the present era—Lou Meyer, Fred Frame and Lou Moore—are on the border line. Meyer has been the victim of a siege of hard luck. After cracking two motor blocks in preparations this year, he received anew replacement from the West Coast yesterday and will have his charger assembled for the qualification attempt, but will have little opportunity to test it for gasoline consumption. Moore arrived on the scene late this year with the two Burd Piston Ring Specials which are to be driven by himself and Fred Frame, winner of the 1932 derby. The cars have had few hours on the track, because mechanics have been busy with adjustments in the garages. Moore started on one qualification run, but pulled into the pits after six laps when he was dissatisfied with the performance of the car. Another pair of outstanding mo(Turn to Page 26)

Mahmoud Is First in Fast English Derby Taj Akbar Finishes Second, Thankerton Next Before Crowd of 500,000. By United Preta EPSOM DOWNS, England, May 27.—Mahmoud, the Aga Kahn’s big gray colt, smashed to a recordbreaking victory in the one hundred fifty-eighth running of the English Derby today, making his owner the first to sweep two derbys in succession since 1895. The big horse, ridden by Charlie Smirke, covered the heart-breaking mile and a half course with a hill at the finish in 2 minutes 33 and 4-5 seconds, to break by a fifth of a second the record established by Windsor Lad in 1934. Smirke also rode Windsor Lad in that race. Mahmoud, son of Blenheim, the Aga Kahn’s first victorious Derby horse which won in 1930, defeated his stable-mate, Taj Akbar, by three lengths in a driving finish to reward his backers at odds of 100-8. Three-quarters of a length behind the runnerup came Mrs. James Shand's Thankerton. Favorite Is Fourth Lord Astor’s Pay Up, which went to the post a 5-1 favorite on the strength of his victory several weeks ago in the two thousand guineas, bore out the tradition that an Astor horse never wins. Pay Up finished fourth. His Grace, Lord Carnarvon’s bay colt which was backed at 28-1, finished fifth. H. G. Blagrave's Couvert was last. Attendance was estimated at 500.000 with a sea of spectators occupying nearby hills. Taj Akbar went to the post at 6-1 while Thankerton started at 33-1. Mahmoud, the first gray horse to win the Derby since the filly Tagalie came home in front in 1912, was bunched in the pack during the first half of the race. Rounding Tattenham corner coming into the stretch he made his challenge and soon took command going up the final 200-yard grade. Mahmoud’s victory climaxed a sensational comeback for Jockey

BASEBALL—NIGHT GAME T 2w£t* Perry Stadium 8:15 P.M. KINGAN RELIABLES VS. ROCKWOOD MFG. CO. 25c

LIGHTWEIGHT BOXERS HEADLINE BESS CARD Frenchy La Var, Oliver A. C.. and Lewis Mazor, Bess-Thompson A. C., are to meet in the feature bout of a boxing show at 438 Indiana-av tomorrow night. They are lightweights. Opponents for Sam Stanish, Oliver A. C.. and Lee Prettyman, Bess-Thompson A. C., are being sought. The show is to start at 8:30. Smirke. Banished several years ago for questionable riding. Smirke could not regain his license until 1534 —just in time to ride the Maharajah of Rajpipla's Windsor Lad, which he drove to a then recordbreaking triumph. And as Smirke rode Mahmoud to the unsaddling circle today to receive the floral horseshoe, the crowd gave him a thunderous salute. William Woodward’s Boswell, the only American-owned horse in the race, never was a contender. He was high in the betting, but failed to show the speed which his American backers had hoped would carry him to the first American triumph since 1914. The start was delayed almost five minutes as several of the 22 3-year-old colts acted up at the post. When it came, however, the start was good and the field was off in perfect alignment. The victory purse which went to the Moslem spiritual leader was only about $50,000. But betting men estimated that the Aga Kahn's one-two sweep netted him upw’ard of $300,000. He does not hesitate to plunge.
