(COUNTING 1928 when he won his first 500-mile classic, Lou Meyer, the triple five-century king, has finished in the money six times in 10 starts. . . . That's a batting average of .600 in a sport which tests a man’s physique to the limit and also requires iron nerves and mechanical knowledge and alertness. Five hundred miles are a lot of miles on a track with treacherous turns, particularly when the pace goes up year after year. Genial Lou's record at the Indianapolis Roaring Way: First in 1928; second in 1929; fourth in 1930; out of money at 28 laps in 1931; out of money at 50 laps in 1932; first in 1933; out of money at 92 laps in 1934; out of money but finished in 1935; first in 1936; fourth in 1937. And Mever still is around hurtling down the straightaways and into the bends pointing for a fourth try at the speed crown on May 30 in the 26th running of the world’s greatest motor attraction.

The first dash calls for six laps around the two-and-a-half-mile course, the second the same distance and the third 10 laps, if a third is requiréd to settle the issue.

ACK DEMPSEY, the old Man Mauler, believes that the million doilar gate will be reached in prize fighting for the first time since he and Gene Tunney drew $2,658,660 in their second clash at Chicago in 1927, when Joe Louis defends his croym against Max Schmeling in New York next month. . .. During an interview the other day Jack elaborated on his sizeup of the attraction as follows: “Promoter Mike Jacobs already is swamped with orders from all parts of the United States. He even has orders for tickets from Germany, England, France, South America, Australia, New Zealand and Hawaii. “I am convinced that the fight will not be seriously boycotted as reported. After all, the American people are the fairest-minded in the world in my estimation. The majority of them feel that Schmeling was given the run-around last year when Joe Louis was awarded the match with Jimmy Braddock in direct violation with Braddock’s contract with Schmeling, signed almost a year previously. “The Louis-Schmeling fight is a natural in every way. There are many who think Schmeling will repeat his previous knockout of Louis, while just as many believe Louis has improved so much since his first fight with Max that he will stop Max this time, Everybody who saw their first battle, which was one of the most vicious and thrilling of heavyweight battles of all time and those who read about it, know that when two such terrific punchers again clash in the ring another great battle is assured, consequently they are a cinch to draw at least $1,000,000.” = 5 » ” » 5
AL ELWARD, Purdue's football coach, and Gus Dorias, chief of the Detroit U. Titans, were teaminates on Notre Dame's 1913 grid squad. . . . And Detroit will be in Lafayette for Purdue’s opener this vear. Oscar Vitt, pilot of the Cleveland Americans, participated as a member of the Tigers in the dedication of Navin Field, home of the Detroit club, 26 years ago. . .. This year, with the park remodeled and renamed (Briggs Stadium), Vitt took part in the opening day ceremonies by leading his team against the Tigers.

When Outfielder Frank Demaree of the Chicago Cubs was benched recently, the longest current playing streak in the National League was ended. . . . Demaree had played 414 consecutive National League games since July 7, 1935, when he ran for Fred Lindstrom and finished the game in center field. He played 84 straight games before the end of the '35 season, didn’t miss a single game of the 154 played in ’36 and ’37, and played in the first 22 games of this year. No other National Leaguer had so long a string.

ABBIT WARSTLER, tiniest Boston Bee, began going around with the big fellows early in life. . ..

RAIN MAKES DAUBER EVEN MONEY CHOICE
Tonight’s Tilt With Colonels Is Postponed
Teams Hope to Play Twin Bill Vomorrow; Schalk Sees Clean Sweep.
Rain and cold weather today prompted the Indianapolis management to postpone tonight's scheduled game with the Louisville Colonels at Perry Stadium. The game was to have been the second in the series, the Tribe having come from behind in another late-game surge last night to capture the opener from Bert Niehoff’s pastimers, 5 to 4. The teams will play a doubleheader tomorrow afternoon, the first game starting at 2 o'clock. Vance Page was scheduled to perform on the mound tonight and with the postponement will be available along with port-sider Lloyd Johnson and John Niggeling, recent acquisition, for services in tomorrow’s games. Ray Schalk thinks his boys may be able to sweep the series with the Colonels with this surfeit of pitching talent to draw on. Niggeling, who used to campaign in the American Association with Kansas City, was purchased from the Boston Bees and was in a Tribe uniform last night.
Four Blows by Baker
Bill Baker's big bat wrecked Louisville in the series opener and he really put on a show with three singles, a triple and three runs batted in. His perfect record featured the contest which was a nothing-to-nothing affair for six innings. Both teams broke out with a scoring attack in the seventh and started a parade of pitchers on both sides. Don French, third hurler employed by the Indians, received credit for the victory and it was his fifth triumph this season serving in the relief role. The Colonels got to Lauri Myllykangas in the seventh and combed him for three singles, two doubles and four runs before Wes Flowers strolled in from the bullpen and squelched the rally. Wasdell opened the Tribe seventh with a double, Chapman walked and Baker belted a triple off the left field wall near the foul line. Ray Kolp, righthander, relieved Rufus Meadows, southpaw, on the Louisville rubber and Mesner's single tallied Baker. Kolp retired the side without further scoring.
Niehoff Jockeys Pitchers Sherlock opened the Indians’ eighth with a single and advanced on Fausett’s sacrifice. With Wasdell, a southpaw swinger coming up, Manager Neihoff withdrew Xolp and sent in Lefty Les Willis who got Wasdell on a fly to left. Willis lost control and a wild pitch put Sherlock on third. Chapman drew a pass and Jack Tising, righthanded speedball hurler, relfeved Willis. With the count two strikes and no balls, Bill Baker lined a single to center and Sherlock tallied the tying run and Chapman reached third. Mesner’s grounder to Ray French's left took a bad hop and was scored as an infield hit as Chapman chased home with what proved to be the winning marker. Don Prench retired the Colonels in order in the eighth and allowed one hit in the ninth. He struck out two and looked the picture of confidence while dishing ’em off the rubber, A crowd of approximately 4000 was present and the rooters were treated to some sharp fielding by both teams with catches of low line drives by Reese and McCormick high spotting the defense, The victory kept the Indians within two games of the league leading Blues who won at Milwaukee yesterday. It was the Tribe's ninth home triumph in 13 starts.

Lavagetto of Brooklyn Sets National Pace.
NEW YORK, May 14 (U. P.).— Joe DiMaggio of New York held the batting leadership in the American League this week while Joe Medwick, St. Louis, slumped to second in the National as Cookie Lavagetto got back into action for Brooklyn. DiMaggio got seven hits in 16 times at bat, his average falling off eight points to .450, but still topping Frank Hayes of Philadelphia by 31. Hal Trosky of Cleveland slumped off from second to third with a 28point drop to 409. Lavagetto was batting .550 one week ago, but had played in only six games, not enough to he included among the leaders. In seven games this week he got but eight hits in 25 trips and his average dropped more than 100 points, but his 422 was still good enough to top Medwick who climbed from .387 to 404, Cliff Melton of the Giants retained his pitching leadership in both leagues with his sixth victory in as many starts, while Lefty Grove of Boston assumed undisputed lead in the American with his fifth win in six starts. Jimmy Foxx of Boston and Hank Greenberg of Detroit were tied for home-run honors in the American with seven each.

Pat Kelly Booked On Mat Program
After winning five bouts without a defeat, Pat Kelly, 212, young Tennessee Irishman, will gun for “big game” in the semiwindup on the Armory mat card next Tuesday night where he has been pitted against Dorvbe (Iron Man) Roche, 220, Decatur, Ill. Although Roche carries more experience and a higher rating, he will have to be on his toes against the Southerner who is quick at applying holds. The “big moment” comes for Am Rascher, 218, Hoosier grappling ace, when he faces Louis Thesz, 226, crack St. Louis matman, in the feature. Thesz holds two triumphs over Everett Marshall and held the heavyweight title for six months. Am is a greatly improved performer since a year of Eastern ring activities where he gained draws with Ray Steele and Orville Brown and polished off Jim McMillen, Abe Coleman and several other standouts.

4 Teams Closely Bunched In American League Race
By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, May 14, — The American League standings had a National League tinge today with the four leaders so closely bunched that a blanket would cover them. Washington continued to hold the lead, with the Red Sox nudging the Senators from only .004 points behind and with the Yankees and Cleveland sharing third place, only a game off the pace. It's the closest American League scramble in years Strangest bedfellow in this quartet is the Red Sox, Tom Yawkey's high-priced collection of baseball bric-a-brac over which a great come, Life and larrup have replaced lethargy on the Red Sox. In recent years they have been tagged as a team that wouldn't hustle but they're up there breathing on the Senators’ necks because of their new slogan—“won for all and all for won.” The two hustlers who are showing the way are Manager Joe Cronin and first baseman Jimmy Foxx, batting 361 and .342 respectively. The “big five” of the mound are Lefty Grove, with five straight
victories; Frits Ostermueller, with

Pighting Fox will go to the post in blinkers for the first time, and trainer “Sunny Jim” Pitzsime« mons hopes this equipment will make him attend strictly to the business of running. No one doubts that Fighting Fox could win if he only would run the race he did in taking the Wood Memorial two weeks ago.

Menow, Hal Price Headley's sprinting streak, and Myron Selznick's Can't Wait are the other Derby horses in the field.

Liberty of thought is the highest activity of the human mind, It follows that the suppression of that liberty must be the most degrading to us as human beings.
There is no greater robber in this world than he who robs us of our liber. ty of thought and belief,
