MORE NIGHT SPORTS VENTURES
CHICAGO PLANS MOTOR RACING
NIGHT baseball, which lifted the Cincy Reds out of the red, is to be played in Brooklyn with no more than seven games a season under the lights. . . . The inaugural has been set tentatively for June 15... . Larry MacPhail, Dodgers’ general manager, said, “When our $110,000 lighting system is completed we will have turned night into day.” . . . Night sports promotion is spreading and there's no telling where it will end. Carl Stockholm, promoter of auto races held at the Cook County Fair Grounds track, Chicago, seriously contemplates installation of lighting equipment which will
permit him to run night races every Wednesday evening
during the summer. Reflecting on the success of the Ascot track (California) after adopting night racing in 1929, it is a safe guess that such a move would win support from Chicago speed fans. The Cook County opening has been scheduled for June 12, but probably will be changed to the following Wednesday should Stockholm decide to go ahead with the lighting plans.

=" S is generally known, the Roosevelt Raceway reverted to the ownership of Roosevelt Field, Inc., original owners of the land, late in January. . . . Since that time several plans have been advanced for the continuance of major auto racing there, but to date nothing has been materialized. A myriad of ideas seem to exist as to what should be done in order successfully to continue the track on the big league calendar, but the necessary financing has so far been absent. The owners of the property are anxious to see it in operation and it has by no means been abandoned, so there may yet be a feasible solution.

FTER a short experiment into unsanctioned auto racing the Lakewood Park one-mile track at Atlanta, Ga., has been brought back under the A. A. A. banner by Mike Benton, perhaps the South's greatest racing fan and supporter. . . . Lakewood is scheduled to open under Ralph Hankinson's promotion on July 4 and probably will schedule another race on Labor Day, in addition to the regular Georgia State Fair date. City officials at Daytona Beach, Fla. advise that definite provisions have been made in the annual budget for an auto race of major character there next winter. . . . The beach road has been widened and the runways connecting it with the famous beach speedway have been improved. . . . Exact details of the program or the type of race will not be decided until perhaps early fall.

ADE KILLEFER, the Indianapolis ball club's former manager, had a game forfeited on him in Los Angeles Sunday and his Hollywood team of the Pacific Coast League probably will be stuck with a heavy fine. . . . It was a bitter battle between the Killefer clan, Wade and brother Bill, Sacramento pilot. Pitcher Wayne Osborne of Hollywood started the trouble by yelping at the umpire's decisions on balls and strikes. . ., . He threw his glove into the air and was ordered out of the game. Wade Killefer raced from the dugout and the war was under way. . . Spectators, police and players chipped into the fracas and the umpires fiinally forfeited the contest to Sacramento as they were escorted from the field by a detail of bluecoats. . . . The riot occurred in the second half of a double-header.

WE HOYT, 38, who completed 18 years of major league ball playing recently with his release from the Brooklyn Dodgers, has signed with the Bushwicks, Brooklyn semipro club which includes other former big leaguers. Joe Kuhel will not return to the White Sox lineup for at least a week. . . . His ankle injury became aggravated while trying out the lame pin. . . . His batting mark was down to .254 at the time of the injury. . . Monty Stratton, Sox righthander who injured his arm during spring training, is ready for his first test in the regular season. Rupert Thompson has been retained by the Sox as an outfield and infield utility man and pinch hitter. . . . A move was under way to ship him to San Diego. n n on

HE Indianapolis colony with Boston's surprising Bees now consists of five players and Cincinnati probably will stage an “Indianapolis Day” later in the season when the Bess are booked in the Queen City on a Sunday. . Casey Stengel’'s former Redskins are Jim Turner, ace moundsman; Johnny Riddle, catch; Rabbit Warstler, shortstop; Johnny Cooney, outfield, and Kahle, utility infielder. A safe bunt. a hit, a walk and a single by the pitcher gave the Bees a victory over the Cubs in the 11th inning the other day and Manager Stengel exclaimed, “My, how my boys can hit. . . : They won one game this season on one hit and Casey calls em the ‘little powerhouses.”. . . He thinks they'll do “better” some day hy getting no hits and winning by one run on four walks.

ED LYONS, veteran righthander of the White Sox, recently joined the select set of three mound aces in the American League who have turned in 200 or more wins. . . . He joined the team 16 years ago. . Lefty Bob Grove, with 264 in 14 years, and Earl Whitehill, southpaw, with 208 in the same number of years as Lyons, are the others. . . . Not a hurler in the National League can boast such a record. Grove and Whitehill, the former particularly, have been with great clubs most of the time. . Both have appeared in a World Series, a treat Lyons has never had. Only in the last three seasons has Ted pitched for a first division club. . Three times during his career, the Sox have finished eighth, four times sev enth and a like number of times fifth. His record is 200 wins and 185 losses.

QUALIFYING TRIALS RESUME
Kelly Petillo Among Those To Make Run
Wild Bill Comming and Jimmy Snyder Also Are Reported Ready.
Qualifying trials are to be resumed at the Speedway tomorrow beginning at 1 p. m., officials an=nounced today, giving the race
mounts in preparation for the big Decoration Day grind. It was estimated that about 34 pilots are anxious to make the run that will make them eligible for the remaining 19 places in the starting lineup. Fourteen cars were qualified in tests held over the week-end, nine on Saturday and five, on Sunday. Among those reported ready to take to the bricks tomorrow are Wild Bill Cummings, 1934 winner, Kelly Petillv, winner in 1935, and Jimmy Snyder, holder of the track record for one lap. Petillo already has had two trials and tomorrow's will be his last. It was reported that the little Italian planned to “play it safe” this time by cutting his speed down to about 120 mile-an-hour average. Kelly did better than 130 on one of his laps Sunday when he gave up the run because his motor did not sound just right. Honorary Referee Named
Others in the unqualified group who are reported ready to go are Fred Frame, Shorty Cantlon and Al Putnam. Veteran drivers who saw the Speedway record for 25 miles shattered twice within 24 hours predicted that 118 miles an hour will be the qualifying minimum. Ronny Householder of Los Angeles set the new record of 125.769 in his trial Sunday, stepping up the record set by Floyd Roberts, pole winner, on the previous day. Roberts’ time was 125.681. Honorary referee for the race will be Jacqueline Cochran, famous woman flier. She was appointed yesterday by Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker, | Speedway president, and is the | second woman so honored. The late {| Amelia Earhart was the first. A majority of the 20 living members of the 100-mile-an-Hour Club {are to be guests tonight at the fourth annual banquet of the Champion Spark Plug Co. in the Indianapolis A. C. Only those who have driven the entire 500 miles without relief at 100 miles an hour or better in the big speed classic are | eligible. Of the 24 who qualified, | four are dead.

When it looked as if Shortridge had won its second consecutive

This disclosure made it possible | for Riley of South Bend and Franklin to tie for the championship and put his own team, Short- | ridge, the defending champions, in | third place. Surprised that “it would amount to all this,” Ray took a brief recess from classroom work yesterday, | and, after considerable persuasion, | recounted how it happened.

Tickets are $2.50 this year, but Government tax of 25 cents will be paid by the purchaser, making the total $2.75 for general admission. | The Speedway has absorbed this tax | in the past.

Sent in Your Name for Man O’ War's Son Yet?
By JOE WILLIAMS
Times Special Writer
are still trying to hit on a pat name for Sonny Whitney's baby | racer, the one born on Derby Day out of a union between Man o’ War | and Top Flight.
In the beginning it was just a New York enthusiasm but in recent days the urge to come up with a fitting caption for the little guy born of such noble parents and on such a spectacular day in American racing history has become national in character. To repeat there is no prize for the selector of the winning name. This didn’t start out to be even a contest in the formal sense. Whitney merely dropped the remark he was puzzled what to name the baby, the remark was given publicity in these pages and the folks sat down and decided to help the owner out, More and more the mail response emphasizes the thoroughbred horse is a pretty popular beast in this country and the folks like nothing better than to participate in a christening of any sort. Then, there is something fascinating in trying to work out an appropriate name from a combination of three elements—the pappy’'s name, the mammy’s name and Derby Day.

Francisco, J. H. A. wants to name the kid “Top Warder* .,. . Top for Flight, War for Man o’ War and Der for Derby”... this at least gets the three elements in there, , .. Isabelle Hull of the big town offers “Mantucky Sky,” which isn't bad, at that. Incidentally you'd be surprised how the gals are responding. It must be the mother instinct, eh? Mrs, Nell Ulery of Pittsburgh seems to think she has just the name the kid ought to carry to the races but she inquires cautiously whether Whitney is giving up any dought, and just as cautiously she doesn’t reveal the name. ‘The lady's address is 7322 Hamilton Ave, if Whitney should care ‘o investigate further. Maybe she's got something there. You never can tell And what's a million or so to Whitney?

| | As a result of last night's poste | ponement of the series opener bee | tween the Indians and Toledo Mud { Hens, the officials of the two clubs agreed to stage a double-header at | Perry Stadium tonight if the raine maker stays off the job.

Hens Get Cullenbine
Manager Fred Haney of the Mud Hens received good news last night when the Detroit Tigers advised that outfielder Roy Cullenbine had been released to his club.
