Detroit Pin Team Posts 3151 Total

CLEVELAND, April 19 (U. P).— The Fife Electric team of Detroit gunned for more honors and prize money today in the minor events of the American Bowling Congress championships. The Motor City entry hung up a - mighty 3151 total, the third highest in the 39-year history of the congress, when they took over the drives last night in a powerful kegling display.

After opening with a 992 score,

the Fifes pounded out the highest game of the tourney, 1122. Freddie Breckles, veteran campaigner, paced the squad with a 693 series which gave him a great start for the allevents division. The Fifes rolled games of 992-1122-1037 in toppling from first place the Old Reading Beers of Hazelton, Pa. While most of the country’s outstanding teams have yet to appear, | the score likely will win the $1000 and five diamond medals for the] Detroiters. Rolling on an earlier squad, Broadway Smoke Shops of Detroit clicked with a 3016 total and took] fifth place, but were pushed down to sixth when the Fifes took the

lead. |

Coast Promised More Title Bouts

LOS ANGELES, April 18 (U. P).| —Mike Jacobs made indefinite but enthusiastic promises of more championship fights for Los Angeles today, as Joe Louis left town $34,002 richer for having spent two minutes and 20 seconds in the ring with Jack Roper Monday night. Louis, nursing a broken fingernail suffered when he knocked out Roper, will stay in Chicago until May 5 and then leave for a New York camp to start training for his June title defense against Tony Galento. Jacobs said he might bring another title bout here next year if he can get the big Memorial Coliseum.

These foreign cars, however, are said to be only on a par with the American entries. While there undoubtedly are a basketfull of reasons for the depression in the racing business in this country, Meyer believes that the chief responsibility falls on the shoulders of some promoters who have combined poor judgment with the playing of too many angles. In past years automobile manufacturers have financed entrants, but apparently the job is too large for any single firm. According to

track.

Meyer the only logical solution is the formation of some type of auto union company under the competent management. He believes that if all the large automotive concerns would contribute amounts of between $25,000 to $50,000 and pool their engineering skill in a company of this sort, the benefits each would receive would more than pay for their ante. Racing as a sport, too, would experience a revival. “Even the way things are now, with the boys only getting a crack at big prize money cnce a year, we still bring out cars at Indianapolis that make good showings,” he said. “None of ours probably could stay on the same track with the new German Mercedes, which has the best high speed motor developed to date.” Up to 24% Not a particularly large car, the Mercedes has a 183 cubic inch piston displacement and 12 cylinders. This model has hit 248 mils an hour on a long straight stretch run. By comparison the car which Meyer has built and will drive in the 500-mile race this year stands out as an engineering achievement when it is remembered that only a limited amount of money could be spent for its construction. Four weeks ago on Muroc dry lake in California, Meyer drove his car 170 miles an hour on a straight run, using the gears it will have in the race here. With a new gear ratio he believes it could easily do 200 miles an hour, since its acceleration is particularly fast. He said he jumped it up from 116 miles an hour to 170 miles an hour in 10% seconds. He conceded that a speed jump up like that “is fast enough to blow your hat off,” which can be classed as a sweeping statement from a person of his type. It is interesting to note also that his car has a 183 cubic inch piston displacement and eight cylinders. It is more or less conventional in design, having one supercharger and is a rear drive. His car was built new for the 1938

T and waits for some sunshine and a chance to make test runs at the

race, but because of the present famine of competition it hadn't had its “bugs” worked out adequately. The car further was handicapped by a dismal start. Meyer's throttle stuck on the first lap of that race, forcing him to come into the pits. Then the electric starter shaft got stuck in the motor, and the field was three and a half laps ahead when he finally began rolling. At 360 miles he had gotten

up to fourth position, but the car)

went out at 275 miles with a burnt hole in a piston. “Probably the reason it broke down was because I had to drive it too hard to catch up and didn’t give the motor a chance to breath by cutting off the gas and coasting for short stretches,” he said. Meyer's record as a competitive driver is undoubtedly the greatest success story in racing. Unlike most of the others he did no dirt track —county fair speeding. He started in the business as a mechanic for Frank Elliott and used to go out occasionally for a few practice spins.

Started in Relief Role Elliott sold his car in 1927, and Wilbur Shaw was nominated to drive this mount. Meyer got his first test in actual competition here that year when he served as a relief pilot for Shaw and helped bring the car in fourth. The next year he secured a car a week before the race and qualified it in a twilight run two days before the start. He won that year, but had entered so late that his name wasn't even on the programs and the crowd had to buy newspapers to find out who he was. In the years since then he usually has finished well up in the money, and came home first again in 1933 and 1936. A resident of Huntington Park, Cal, he never has been able to acclimate himself to Indiana’s April rains. His car now is in the Bowes Seal Fast garage, but he is waiting for some sunshine and his first trial run on the track. He doesn’t seem to have a monopoly on speed in his family. During the Muroc Lake bed tests his wife, June, drove the car 120 miles

an hour and had to be talked out]

of trying it again with full throttle.

Victor Over Leo Rodak

His Triumph Finally Settles Dispute Over Feather Championship.

PROVIDENCE, R. I., April 19 (U. P.).—The featherweight championship dispute that began when Henry Armstrong vacated the 126-pound crown was all settled today in favor of Joey Archibald, a grinning Rhode Islander, whose claim had been recognized only in New York previously. Archibald vanquished Leo Rodak of Chicago in a close, hard-fought 15-round bout last night. Rodak had been recognized by the National Boxing Association. It was the first title fight of any division ever held in this state, and Promoter Manny Almeida, who had predicted a gate of $30,000, was vastly disappointed by the crowd of 5500 which left less than $10,000 at the ticket windows. Archibald had peen guaranteed $8000 or 30 per cent of the gate, and Rodak was fighting for 25 per cent of the gate.

First of Three

Archibald is one of the half-dozen topfiight campaigners in the stable of the veteran manager, Al Weill, who promised Joey would be a fighting champion and hailed the title as the first of three he will cantrol before another year. Nate Lewis, manager of Rodak, beefed about the decision. He complained that Joey should have been penalized by Referee Tim Ferrick for low punching in several rounds. The United Press score sheet gave Archibald seven, Rodak six and called two even. They came out for the 15th all even, and Archibald’s whirlwind finish gave him the edge. Launches Savage Attack Rodak opened a slight cut over Joey's eye in the second round, and pegged away ineffectively at the injured optic until the 14th when a stream of left jabs reopened the gash. Blood poured from the wound as Archibald went. back to his corner at the end of the round, but his seconds stopped the flow before the bell for the 15th. The Fasterner tore out of his corner for the final round, jumping and clawing wildly at Rodak. The savageness of his attack made the Chicagoan break ground. Neither hand ever stopped throwing punches in that last whirlwind effort. Arcisibald weighed 123%; 125.

Coulson to Defend Table Tennis Title

The annual Central Indiana Table Tennis Tournament is to be held next Sunday afternoon at ‘the Paddle Club courts, Bob Greene, tournament manager, announced today. Earl Coulson Jr. second ranking Indiana player, will be on hand to defend his title. The meet is expected to attract other outstanding players in the Midwest. The tourney will be run off in three divisions — men’s singles, women’s singles and men’s doubles, Local players are asked to register at the Paddle Club, 200 Meridian Life Building, before Saturday.

Relief but Not WPA

NEW YORK, April 19 (NEA) .— Bill Lohrman did so well this spring in a relief pitching role that the may see considerable duty of this sort this season. Bill Terry anticipates that relief pitching will be an important part of the New York Giants’ routine. He has another excellent relief worker in Dick Coffman.
