“But all this can be erased with a single punch. And my advice to Louis is to unload his heavy guns early. The

trouble with Louis is that he

“They tell you that Trainer Jack Blackburn is a big help to the Negro. He undoubtedly is . . . in training. But if I had Louis, I'd keep Blackburn out of his corner.

“PP LACKBURN reminds me

NCIDENTALLY, the trainers of both fighters speak less rashly in

NEW YORK, May 16 (U. P.).— The Dodgers today announced unconditional release of Pitcher Waite Hoyt, Outfielder Heinie Manush and Catcher Roy Spencer. Pitcher George Jeffcoat was released on option to the Kansas City Blues, American Association farm club of the Yankees. Hoyt, 39, had been in organized baseball 22 vears.

Deciding Heat In Match Race

‘Cummings and Mays Divide

First Two Heats; Set Track Record.

The matter of driving supremacy between Rex Mays and Wild Bill Cummings still remained a matter of unfinished business today despite valant efforts of the two to settle the question at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway yesterday. The two famed speed pilots got an even break in two heats, but rain and high winds prevented the running of the third heat and the management announced that the deciding heat would be run some time this week. Cummings took the first heat and the California flash the second. Both set the fastest average competitve time ever made on the two and a half-mile brick oval in the 15-mile events yesterday. Cummings was clocked at an average of 119.840 miles an hour and Mays at 118.126. Both drove Miller Specials, Cummings’ car being a front drive job while Mays’ car was & pusher. The machines appeared to be evenly

{ matched as to power.

The deciding heat will be ever 25 miles.

Germans Sweep Tripoli Grand Prix

TRIPOLI, May 16 (U. P.).—The sixth Tripoli Grand Prix automobile race—“the race of millions"— was a clean sweep for Germany. German drivers, piloting big, powerful Mercedes Machines, won all three places yesterday. One driver was killed and two injured during the 325.404-mile race over the Mellaha autodrome track. Herman Lang of Germany won first prize of $13,125, covering the 40-lap course in two hours, 33 minutes, 17 seconds. He averaged 205.107 kilometers an hour. Second place went to Manfred Brauchitsch and Rudy Caracciola finished third. Eugenio Siena of Italy was killed when his Alfa Romeo turned over on a sharp curve. Giuseppe Farina of Italy collided with Lazlo Hartmann of Hungary. Both were injured slightly and sent to a hospital. The race is known as the “race of millions” because of the millions of lire at stake in an Italian sweepstake conducted in conjunction with it.

Red Sox Gain

League Lead

Yawkey’s Expensive Talent Beginning to Click.

NEW YORK, May 16 (U. P.).— When the 1938 baseball season opened they said the Red Sox had no hustle—that they were just a bunch of high-priced ball players going through the motions. But. today these same Red Sox, on whom owner Tom Yawkey has spent upward of $4,000,000 trying to win a pennant, were out in front of the merry American League race by a game and a half. And everyone wondered whether Yawkey at last may see his dream come true, or at least see his club in the thick of the fight right down to the end of the season. While the Yankees, Indians and Senators were waging a private dog fight for the lead, the Red Sox were quietly , winning games. They jammed into the lead on Saturday and increased it yesterday. Two of Yawkey's highest-priced players—Lefty Grove and Jimmy Foxx—have been instrumental factors in the Red Sox drive, an eightgame winning streak on which they rode west today. Foxx, who, along with Johnny Marcum cost Yawkey $150,000 and players in 1935, leads both leagues in homers with eight and tops the runs-batted-in column with 39. Grove, who cost $105,000 in 1933, has won six straight games for the best pitching record on the circuit. Grove beat the Senators yesterday 4-3. The defeat dropped the Senators to fourth behind the .idle Cleveland Indians and New York Yankees, who are tied for second. The Browns beat the Tigers, 4-1, in a five-inning game called because of rain. The Giants, idle since Wednesday, had their game with Philadelphia rained out again. The Pirates took an ll-inning game from the Cubs, 4-3, to move into second place, 5% games behind the Giants. The Bees licked the Dodgers 10-7, and took over sixth place. The St. Louis Cardinals won a 10-inning, 12-11, decision from the Reds.

Dizzy to Test Arm Wednesday

CHICAGO, May 16 (U. P.) —Dizzy Dean, the man with a $250,000 pain in his right shoulder, will throw a baseball Wednesday for the first time since he was ordered to give his ailing arm a complete rest for two weeks and not pitch in a game for a month. He was en route to New York today with the Cubs who open their first Eastern invasion of the season against the Giants tomorrow. At the Polo Grounds Wednesday — when the rest period. is up—Dean will make some practice tosses and follow the procedure daily for a fortnight. If Dizzy’s arm doesn’t act up, he may be able to take his regular turn on the mound in about two weeks. If the “kink” remains, it might mean the end of Dean's brilliant career and another poor investment for Phil XK. Wrigley, youthful owner of the Cubs, who paid fancy prices for such players as Chuck Klein, Babe Herman and others only to have them go sour.

HARRY BROWN BOOKED AGAIN ON FIGHT CARD

Harry Brown, Beech Grove middleweight, who made an impressive showing here last week in gaining a decisio nover Johnny McCoy, has been signed for the eight-round semiwindup on the fight program Friday night at the Armory, Matchmaker Roy Wallace said today. Negotiations are under way to sign Noble Wallace, who has been fighting in Dayton and Louisville, as his opponent, Nick Nicholson, Shelbyville middleweight, will meet Wild Bill McDowd, Louisville, Kentucky, middleweight champion, in the 10-round headliner.

GOLFING

RAVELING down S. Keystone Ave. one finds a beautiful golf course

almost forgotten by the Indianapolis golfer. course, a very sporty and tricky layout.

It's the Sarah Shank As you drive into the club you're

surprised at the improvements made so far this year. The club house is surrounded by small trees and shrubbery and everything seems neat and orderly. Inside the club house you find that it has been redecorated, the

mens’ and women's shower rooms painted. The lunch room is equipped and ready to serve you with sandwiches, candy and soft drinks. As you leave the clubhouse you are greeted by Paul Douglas, the pro, who is ready to assist you in any golfing problem you would like to have straightened out.

From there you go to the first tee where you notice that around the trees and shrubbery the weeds have been removed and there is an entirely different atmosphere. Throughout the whole nine holes all the weeds have been cut down and the roughs have been eliminated.

This helps to speed up the play. Also, you find that some of the fairways have been resodded. You no longer have to shoot your ball out of holes as you did in the past. In fact, all the fairways are in better condition now than they have been in years.

On reaching the first green you will be surprised again to see the change in the greens. During the winter and early this spring the greens were weeded, top-dressed and watered. Along the creek the banks are being resodded.

So far this season the play has been very good. Since the opening on March 29 they have had more than 2300 players and more and more are coming out every day. On May 7 and 8 they had a record crowd of 496 people which is a very large week-end for a nine-hole course, Jim Robinson, president of the club, reports they have 34 members so far and by the first of June they are expecting to have twice that number. ” ” Ad

UE to the rainy weather Saturday the two new greens, No. 10 and No. 18, at South Grove were not opened. Neal McIntyre said that they will be opened next Saturday. South Grove had a very good play yesterday with attendance well over 300.

The first chicken dinner tournament was held at Pleasant Run Sunday afternoon. Clark Espie’s team won over Harold Strickland's team by seven strokes. Strickland led the field with a 75 for the losers while Espie paced the winners with a 79.

Fred Leidolf added his name to the hall of fame by dropping his tee shot in the hole for a hole in one on the fifth at Pleasant Run Friday afternoon. The feat was witnessed by B. Smith and Bill Kime. The card:

Leidolf 656 516 346—42

During the rain Saturday afternoon, Ed Mooney, also of Pleasant Run, holed out a niblick shot on the 16th for an eagle 2. With the eagle and a 7 on the 18th hole he toured the back nine in par figures, 37.

Jack Long, who is plenty long off the tee, holed out a 150-yard shot on the 9th hole at Riverside yesterday afternoon for an eagle 3. He was playing with Paul Green, an up and coming golfer, and with Noble Boston, a left hander.

Gary and Ft. Wayne Are Sites for Sectionals.

By United Press The Gary and Ft. Wayne sectional meets were to be run today to round out the field of high school athletes for the 22d annual state track field championship here next Saturday. Although rain and cold weather caused postponement of two of the sectionals Saturday, 10 champions were crowned. Most impressive were the Hammond Wildcats, evidently on their way to more state athletic honors, as they qualified men for 21 positions in the state finals, including the relays. Bloomington, winning its meet with 70% points, qualified 12 athletes, the second highest representation in the state for the finals. Defending champion Kokomo ran into strong opposition but managed to edge out Anderson, 54 to 51. The Kats qualified 10 men for nine events and Anderson nine for nine.
