EARLY AND LATE AT SPEEDWAY

HOOSIERS TAKE IT IN STRIDE

”

VEN Kentuckians don’t go for their Derby like Hoosiers go for their 500-mile race. ... An Indianian’s appetite for speed belongs in the category of an unnumbered Wonder of the World. . . . Depressions and recessions make no difference at the Speedway box office and the crowds at the qualifications Saturday and yesterday proved beyond doubt that the Hoosier state rates its fivecentury classic at the top of the sports calendar. Thousands even rode out the storm Saturday afternoon and were still there at sundown until the race officials closed the track. ... W. 16th St. traffic over the week-end resembled the annual race-day trek to the Roaring Way, and what's more the machines rolled in at the gates early on both days and with many fans carrying picnic baskets. All of which indicates another huge crowd next Monday at the 26th running of the International Sweepstakes, which, according to Seth Klein, veteran 500-mile starter, will see the first five finishers doing better speed than last year's winner, the renowned Wilbur Shaw of Indianapolis, whose 1938 mount is car 1 which you see streaking around the course. ” » ” HE fans have sat in on enough speed during the time trials to convince them that the experts know what they are talking about . .. and the remaining reserved seats for next Monday's spectacle probably will not survive the week. The “500” has been won by Indianapolis pilots eight times and Shaw captured the coveted silver anniversary number in 1937 in a Shaw-Gilmore Special. The other local winners: Ray Harroun, 1911, the inaugural, in a Marmon; Joe Dawson, 1912, National; Howard Wilcox, 1919, Peugeot; Gaston Chevrolet, 1920, Monroe; L. L. Corum, Indianapolis, copilot with Joe Boyer, 1924, Duesenberg Special; Louis Schneider, 1931, Bowes Seal Fast Special; Bill Cummings, 1934, Boyle Products Special.

OURTEEN drivers in the current 500-mile field are in a position to tinker out the last week while the others face home work. .. . The 14 lessened the strain by qualifying early, and a little peace of mind is not hard to take before a long grind. : The fourth annual dinner of the Champion 100 Mile-an-Hour Club is to be held at the Indianapolis Athletic Club tomorrow evening. . . The governors are E. V. Rickenbacker, T. E. Myers, M. C. Dewitt and T. E. Allen. . . . Membership is limited to speed pilots who have driven the 500-mile race without reiief and averaged 100 miles an hour or higher. . .. Twenty-four made the grade down through the years.

AY SCHALK'S Indianapolis Indians caught the speed fever and you will note they are out in front in the American Association's close race today... . General Manager Leo Miller and Schalk promised Indianapolis a hustling team and the boys are obeying orders. . . They are leading the league in stolen bases and are always on their toes ready to try for that extra sack. The Redskins have won 13 home games in 18 starts and five in nine on the road... . The fans are awakening to the fact that the MillerSchalk system provides an entertaining show, win or lose, and local interest in the national pastime is sparking oldtime fervor.

” ” n ICK Midkiff, the big Texas ranger recently sent to the Minneapolis Millers by the Boston Red Sox, is one of the best hurlers ever sent out by Billy Disch, veteran coach of the University of Texas Longhorns. . . . Disch has supplied professional ball with any number of high class performers, but few of them have shown more promise than the new Miller chunker. Texas won the Southwest Conference championships in 1935 and 1936, and a lion's share of the credit can be given Midkiff. . . . He was never defeated while pitching the Longhorns to those two titles. As soon as he finished school in the early summer of 1936, he was sent to the Boston farms at Syracuse and Rocky Mount, and immediately showed his mettle as a hurler and a hitter. Last year, at Little Rock, Midkiff helped the Travelers win their first Southern Association pennant since the balmy days of Kid Eberfeld, turning in 13 victories and eight defeats and one of the best earned-run averages in the loop. . .. It was a low 2.83.

FTER a disappointing season in 1937, big Joe Gallagher of the Kansas City Blues seems to have found the stride that earned him the title of big “bat and clout man” of the Yankee farm system. . . He was all of that in 1936, his first season as a pro, which he spent with Norfolk of the Piedmont League. . He was the runner-up batter of the circuit with .348, led the way with 19 triples and smacked out the same number of homers. He had 312 total bases, drove in 101 runs and scored 116. Naturally, Gallagher was due for promotion and he got it. Sent to Binghamton last year, he looked nothing like the Gallagher of 1936, but he was big and powerful and extremely fast for one of his size. So the Yankees just checked his .271 average of 1937 off as a bad year and gave the big fellow another chance and another promotion. . The boy from Buffalo, home town of Joe McCarthy of the Yankees, has been making the most of his new opportunities.

19 PLACES REMAIN

BY Tentative ‘Berths Won On Week-End

Householder Smashes Roberts’ Record; Petillo Fails in Second Attempt.

Nineteen places today remained to be filled in the 500-mile lineup Decoration Day following the week-

end of activity at the Speedway which saw 14 cars qualified for the big classic. Today mechanics and drivers tuned up their motors in preparation for further qualification tests which probably will be made tomorrow and Wednesday. Five drivers qualified their mounts yesterday and nine on Saturday, bringing the number of potential starters to 14. Yesterday's activity was featured by the record-smashing performance of Ronny Householder, Van Nuys, Cal. He whirled his Thorne-Sparks special over the 25-mile course at an average speed of 125.769 miles an hour, wiping out the mark set the day before by his home-town rival, Floyd Roberts. Roberts had taken the pole position by turning in the fastest time on the opening day of the qualifying, having been clocked in 125.681." The old record had been set a year ago in the qualifying runs by Jimmy Snyder. Joe Thorne Is In Other qualifiers yesterday were Frank Brisko, Chicago, who averaged 121.921; Joe Thorne, Tucson, Ariz. 119.115; Herb Ardinger, Pittsburg, 119.022, and Louis Mevy, Huntington Park, Cal, three-time winner, 120,525. Snyder and Kelly Petillo, two of the favorites, had mechanical difficulties yesterday. Snyder had carburetor trouble and Petillo was forced to quit on Saturday because of tire difficulties. They have one more chance to qualify. Householder drove a steady pace, taking every lap at more than 125. His best, the third, went at 126.707. Meyer sent a shiver through other drivers as he drove nine of his 10 laps on only seven cylinders. On the first lap a sparkplug went dead but he still had plenty of power to qualify in fair time Petillo yesterday was on his way to establish a new record surpassing Householder’'s mark when suddenly he stopped on the fifth lap. “The motor was not turning over fast enough to suit me,” the little Italian said. His lap speeds, however, were amazing. They ran at 125.156, 124.292, 130.246 and 129.348. The third almost smashed Jimmy Snyder’s single lap record of 130.492. Petillo Saturday had finished nine laps in record time when forced to quit. Those who qualified Saturday besides Roberts were Rex Mays, Glendale, Cal, 122.845; Tony Gulotta, Detroit, 122.499; Chet Miller, Detroit, 121.898; Ted Horn, Los Angeles, 121.327, Wilbur Shaw, Indianapolis, 120.987; Babe Stapp, Dallas, Tex. 120.595; Russ Snowberger, 124.027, and Mauri Rose, Columbus, O., 119.798.

Members of the Indiana section of the Society of Automotive Engineers are to hold their annual 500-mile race meeting at 8 p. m. Thursday in the Hotel Antlers. Louis Schwitzer, chairman of the A. A. A. technical committee; Pete DePaolo and Wilbur Shaw are to speak. The annual dinner starting at 6:45 p. m., will precede the meet-

Rattan Matched With Canadian

Jacques Bernard, 176, crack light heavy from Montreal, Canada, will match his skill and speed against that of Silent Rattan, 178, local deaf mute, on the outdoor mat card at

Sports Arena tomorrow night. Bernard, a newcomer, gained a draw with Bob Gregory, European champ, a month ago. Signing of Jacques completes the four-bout all-star card. Other supporting tussles send Henry Piers, 228, Holland, against Billy Bartush, 235, Chicago, and Ernie Dusek, 235, Nebraska, against George (Cry Baby) Zaharias, 241, Colorado. Danno O'Mahoney, 227, the Irish star who downed Jim Londos to gain the title before more than 20,000 fans three years ago in Boston, grips with Louis Thesz, 226, St. Louis mat speedster, in the main event. Thesz was on top for a short while after whipping Everett Marshall. The two former champs clash in what is recognized as one of the most important bouts staged here in recent months. In case of inclement weather, the grapplers will move indoors to the Armory.

LADIES’

BASEBALL TONITE

NIGHT

INDIANS VS. TOLEDO 8:15 P. M.

Fis day’s double attraction while Minne-

Indians Split Double Bill With Birds as Blues Drop Pair.

Emerging from the week-end | scramble in the American Association as the new league leaders, the galloping Indians will take on the invading Toledo Mud Hens at Perry Stadium tonight in defense of the

pole position, It will be ladies’ night at the Tribe park and with any kind of a

break on weather the largest crowd of the season probably will be there to root for Ray Schalk’s pacesetters. Vance Page, the veteran righthander who worked part of an inning yesterday, is slated to open against the Hens. More than 4500 fans turned out for the Sabbath double-header and it was a sign of good times at the stadium in view of the fact the 500mile race qualifications packed ‘em in at the Speedway,

Three-Game Series

After meeting Toledo in three night tilts the Indians will hit the road for two series, at Columbus and Louisville, before they come

home to meet the second invasion of the Western teams.

The twin bill yesterday was punc-

tuated with close plays, fine stops and throws, and both contests were decided by one-run margins. The Red Birds won the first half of the bargain bill, 7 to 6, and the Indians annexed the second, 4 to 3, in six innings, the 6 o'clock Sunday law cutting in to abbreviate the battle. On Saturday night the Redskins won as they pleased, 12 to 1, and captured the series, two games to one. The Schalkmen nudged into the league lead by splitting yester-

apolis won a pair of close ones from Kansas City. It's a three-way melee with the Indians one-half game ahead of the Blues and the Millers a half game behind Kansas City, Toledo occupies the fourth spot in the first division four games back of Minneapolis,

Indians Took Lead

Indianapolis jumped off to a lead of 5 to 1 in the initial setto yesterday but the Red Birds came to life in the sixth, rallied for three runs, deadlocked the fracas at 5-all in the sixth and won it in the eighth with a two-run splurge. A long, accurate throw by Jimmy Wasdell saved the Redskins in the second combat and brought it to a close in frenzied fashion. With the Tribe ahead, 4 to 2, in the fifth and the Sunday 6 o'clock deadline approaching, Hasson of the Birds doubled after one out in the sixth and Don French lost control and walked S{ein and Morgan, filling the bases.. Vance Pgae relieved French and Grilk, batting for Ankenman, scored Hasson on a long fly to McCormick, leaving runners on second and first. Grace lined a single to left and Wasdell came in fast and rifled the sphere to the plate. Catcher Lewis snared it on the first hop and tagged the sliding Stein for the game-ending out, It was French's first starting assignment of the season and though he wasn’t around at the finish, he was credited with the victory, his sixth of the campaign. Andrews toiled on the Columbus mound in Joe nightcap and allowed seven its.

| Giants Increase Lead to] 31/, Games, Wallop | Pirates, 18-2. |

NEW YORK, May 23 (U, P).— There was something strange about the National League standings today. Boston and Cincinnati, peren-

| nial second-division clubs, were up | among the first four teams for the

first time this season. Boston has been up there for some time, Cincinnati has been up

and down. But not once since the season started have they enjoyed such company together. The Bees sailed along on the crest of a seven-game winning streak. They were only a game behind the second-place Cubs. The Reds, who have won seven of their last 10 starts, were fourth, a half-game away from Boston. And only six games separated the league-leading Giants from the fifth-place Pirates, The Bees picked up a full game on the Cubs yesterday by beating them 2-1 in the 11th for their third straight extra-inning victory. Milburn Shoffner, 31-year-old southpaw rookie, held the Cubs to seven hits and his single in the 11th drove home the winning run, The Reds, with Ival Goodman clouting his 10th homer of the season, moved into fourth place with an 8-3 victory over Brooklyn. Pittsburgh, which had been fourth, slipped back to fifth by dropping an 18-2 decision to the Giants. That victory, coupled with the Cubs’ defeat, enabled the Giants to snap a four-game losing streak and increase their league lead to 3% games, Carl Hubbell pitched for the league champions and won his fifth game. It was the Giants’ greatest scoring spree of the year. With Bill McGee of the Cardinals and Pete Sivess each pitching fivehit ball, Philadelphia scored two runs in the ninth for a 2-1 victory. Ted Lyons, Chicago's 37-year-old

Dodgers to Have Night Baseball

NEW YORK, May 23 (U. P). The Brooklyn Dodgers next month will become the second major league club to have night baseball. Larry MacPhail, who pioneered major league night baseball at Cincinnati, announced that contracts have been let for installation of a lighting system at Ebbets Field. The Dodgers’ vice president and general manager said the system will be ready for operation about June 15. He said no decision had been reached regarding night ball this season but it was believed the Dodgers might try to schedule a game for June 17 against the Reds. Work on the project will start ime mediately, The installation will cost $110,000 and the lighting will be the best in the country, even better than at Cincinnati, MacPhail said.

Davis Cup Ouster Faced by British

ZAGREB, Yugoslovakia, May 23 (U. P.).—Great Britain, which held the trophy a year ago, faced almost certain elimination from 1938 Davis Cup competition today. Britain trailed Yugoslovia 2-0 second round elimination matches. She must win today's double and tomorrow's two single matches to gain the third round--an almost impossible task. Italy led Poland 1-0 in another second round battle at Milan, Italy, Germany rounded out a 4-1 sweep over Norway yesterday and gained the right to meet Hungary in the third round. France clinched its series against Monaco and will play the Poland-Italy winner. Swee den eliminated Switzerland 4-1 and gained the right to meet the Yugo=-slavia-England dinner, Belgium and India are the others in the round of eight and they will play for a spot in the semifinals.
