This year, it will take a 115-mile-an-hour gait to win a place in the starting lineup, but that shouldn’t bother anybody. Last year all 33 cars qualified at speeds better than

115, and only five were below 120.

Both. Mauri Rose and Rex Mays suggested to Harry McQuinn that he tighten his shock absorbers after Harry had returned from a 125-mile-an-hour trip complaining of bouncing.

The "Chocolate Chiller’,

Bob Montgomery .". . battles Jenkink in Garden tonight. Jenkins, Night Club Champ, Tackles a Tarter in Bob

By JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, May 16.—Lightweight Chdmpion Lew Jenkins, that dizzy Texas dynamiter, fackles a tartar tonight when he again tries to blast eut an undisputed victory over young Bob Montgomery, Philadelphia’s “chocolate chiller.” Jenkins, who allegedly substituted night-revelry for roadwork during the training period, goes into this non-title 10-round battle an underdog in the betting, although he won a disputed verdict over the Negro in their first meeting at Philadelphia last September. Montgomery, who almost knocked out the cadaverous Texan in that electrifying brawl, is favored at 7-5 tonight because: 1. The 22-year-old Negro demonstrated - in September punches have enough zing to hurt hollow-eyed Lew; on the canvas for the count of nine in the third round but became excited and failed to finish his man. 2. Montgomery also showed sufficient ruggedness to weather Jenkins’ expensive blows. 3. Montgomery .is believed to have improved considerably since then, with six more bouts under his belt. He has changed his stance from a full crouch to.a semi-crouch, giving thé him more punching power sport | head.

training toughening, his skin may have become more tender and more susceptible to gashing. 6. Montgomery, no¥% a full-fledged welterweight, is bigger and stronger than in September. A private agreement prevents him from coming in at more than 140 pounds, but he will outweigh the skinny Texan by at least six pounds. 7. Since Jenkins is not risking his crown in the over-the-weight match, he will have nothing at stake except his pride. But with Montgomery . it’s a different story; it’s his make-or-break fight. If he wins, he is virtually ‘certain of a quick shot at Fritzie Zivic’s welterweight championship. If he loses, he’ll have to start back up the trail again. 8. Montgomery is far superior at in-fighting. . 9. His style is troublesom for the champion. His persistent bobbing advance is somewhat like that used by the great Henry Armstrong, who stopped Jenkins in the six Tound last July. Promoter Mike Jacobs expects 'a crowd of 14,000 and a gate of $40,000.

‘Chinaman’ Has Color

" Tribe fans who thought “Chinaman Joe” Bestudik would blow up with a bang as a replacement for Chuck Aleno at third base were not so sure that the rookie is as green as he looks. The kid made two errors last night but the rooters are a cinch to “go” for him if he settles down. The youngster has a lot of that well known. sports color and Manager Killefer is dead set on giving him a thorough trial. The rookie accepted three chances out of five, stole a base, drew two

run. He dropped one foul but made a great catch on another and his overthrow of first base in the fifth inning was just one of those things in the first game under the lights. The Tribe chieftains, naturally, are keeping their eyes spotted for an experienced third sacker, but that means nothing in “Chinaman Joe’s” young life. He’s out to make the grade with the Indians and under the personal tutoring of Manager Killefer, who has a reputation for developing young talent.

Burwell Tossed Out

Manager Bill Burfvell of the Colonels was absent from the premises after the fourth inning last night. He lost an argument with Field Umpire Bill Guthrie and was banished after prolonging the debate. Prior to that incident, Plate Umpire Paul Genshlea chased a Louisville substitute off the bench for dishing out too many “jockey jibes.” It was announced that on Monday June 9, an open date for the Indians, as well as an open date in the
