Henri LePage and Fernand Wambst, following a sensational spurt, today were riding in first place with three other teams as the second annual Indianapolis six-day bicycle race whirled through its fifth day at Butler Fieldhouse Together with Al Crossley and Cecil Yates, the LePage-Wambst duo shared honors in last night's sprinting and jamming as the combinations jockeyed for favorable positions prior to beginning their “stretch” drive tonight. LePage and Wambst moved into first place late last night during a 24-minute jam, after Crossley and Yates had come from behind in an earlier dash to share the lead. Tied with these two in first place were the Jules Audy-Ernst Buhler and Jimmy Walthour-Freddie' Ottevaere gombinations. One lap back were Piet Van Kempen and Freddie Zach, who were maneuvered out of position and fell off the pace during last night's riding. Tonight will be the second “Diamond Chain Night” of the week. Employees of the chain company who attended the race Monday asked the management to arrange a second special “night” so that they could attend again. Last night was “American Legion Night” with several hundred Legionnaires helping to swell the crowd to approximately 5000. Jules Audy’s bid for a 220-yard dash record was unsuccessful. Taking off from a fiying start given him by Buhler, his partner, the blond Canadian rode the distance in 12.9 seconds. To set a record, he would have had to negotiate the 220 yards in 124 seconds. However, it was pointed out that Audy used ordinary racing equipment instead of a special bike buiit - for short dashes and he had just finished a two-mile sprint.

Newark Is Classic Example
Of Yankee Feeder System
By JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer
SEBRING, Fla, April 8.--You
may be interested in a few lines
about the Newark Bcars. They train in this sedate town of murmurous pines and placid lakes. Next to Rex Beach, the famous author, they are the best tourist bait around. ; Some of the boys said the '37 Newark model was ‘the best minor This was probably slapping it on a bit thick. Such critical estimates are always ‘The best way to determine the greatness of a minor league team is to wait and see what the individuals do later in the big leagues. The Bears sent up a number of their ’37 stars. Most of them went to the Yankees. That was natural enough. The Bears are owned by
| the Yankees. Four pitchers went {to the Yankees—Beggs, | Chandler and Sundra.
Donald, Nobody knows yet how many, if any, of them will make the grade. There are many new faces on the team that spreadeagled the International League race last year. A whole new infield has been brought in, . Scarsella at first, Schule at
second, Blair at short and May at third. Blair is the young man they
are talking aboui—he’s touted as
the Gordon of the 38 camp. Has
a fine arm, can hit, is fast, and thinks the American form of Government is all right. Already you hear . . . “He’s the guy who will be taking Frank Crosetti's place two or three years from now.” This gives you an idea of how the
ahead. The primary function of the Newark Club—and the newly acquired Kansas City club in the American Asscciation—is to incubate new cocks of the walk for the Ruppert barnyard. The fair-haired boy of the Bears is still Charley Keller who came out of the University of Maryland last year to win the batting championship of the International. That was the first time that hady ever been done in just that pres] cise manner. Of course, they are getting Keller ready for the Yankees, too. A promising pop vendor, a bookkeeper or a. telephone ‘operator always has a chance to
advance from Newark to the Yan-
kees. Or so it seems anyway. Keller swings from the left side of the plate and the notion is he
will find the comparatively short | ‘right field stands at the Yankee
stadiula very inviting. So this is what you hear. . . . “Now when Gehrig passes on Keller will be ready to step in there with his power.” . « « What blasphemy! As if Sehrig ever will pass on.
TEST FOR ADAMICK DETROIT, April 8 (U. P.).—Jimmy Adamick, the Midland Mauler, faces a crucial test in his steady advance toward heavyweight laurels when he meets Al Ettore of Philadelphia in a scheduled 10-round fight here tonight.
