The punters made him a favorite at 40 cents to the dollar. . . . The field he was pitted against was regarded as one of the most

“Nothing in the lot can do better than 2:05,” the experts insisted. a+ +. And added: “Bimelech should win by a quarter of a mile.”

Yet that 2:05 in 1940, by Gallahadion, who never knew greatness before, nor showed any greatness afterward, was too fast for Bimelech

that afternoon. . .

. Gallahadion beat him a length and a half, and

only a scant nose enabled Bimelech to gain second money over Dit.

Something Happened to Bimelech

BIMELECH was beaten without a chance for logical excuse. «+. He was off in front, yielded top honors at the quarter to the sprinting charge of Roman, overhauled him near the mile, was half length in front going into the stretch, with Gallahadion back in third position, and Bimelech had the track to himself. . It looked as if this horse, rated by Bradley as the greatest he ever bred, was certain to distance his field. ... Then something

happened.

GALLAHADION, which had won but once before in his career =a cheap race—and who was destined to win but twice afterward— moved up on Bimelech, caught him, bade him the time of day, and went on, an easy winner, with Bimelech faltering so much that Dit

almost caught him. . =

lars to reach Bloomington laté today. .Catcher Hugh Poland, obtained from the Boston Braves some time ago, also is due here today. Only regulars on hand yesterday were Pitcher-Coach Bob Logan and Pitcher George Diehl. Rookies present in the initial workout were Pitcher Bob Martin, Pitcher-In-fielder Joe Aliperto, Catcher Joe Cora and Outfielder Bill Little, who also has had experience as a catcher. Martin hails from Earlham college, Aliperto from St. Paul, Cora from Indianapolis and Little from Laun, Tex. Regular infielders and outfielders are due in camp Sunday and Skipper Bush thinks he will have a squad of approximately 20 under his wing by Monday. The Indians are sharing the Indiana university training facilities with the Cincinnati Reds and are using the Reds’ pitching machine for batting practice. It helps ease the manpower shortage. The Reds have used the device for three years. It propells a ball at 10-second intervals.

Tournament play will again be the main week-end attraction among local bowlers, Out at Pritch-ett-Hunt-O'Grady’s, the third annual women’s team tournament, which got under way last week-end, will present a heavy schedule.

Included in the 44 quintets slated to face the maples are a number of well-known aggregations from other cities. Augmented by several star local quintets a program of heavy scoring is expected. Ideal Furniture, who recently annexed the city championship, Sally Twyford’s Comets, Tompkins Ice Cream and Bowes Sealfast are among the teams scheduled. The regular weekly bowling proprietors doubles events will be resumed tomorrow, with action slated to get under way at 6 p. m. and again at 2 p. m. Sunday. The Sturm alleys will be the site of this week's meet.

terday at noon, Bo McMillin, Indiana university football coach, delivered another of his rousing talks on the need of physical fitness programs in our grade schools. “The boy needs physical training under proper supervision even before he reaches high school,” said the veteran grid mentor. “It is in the spirit of competition that rounds out a boy and teaches him team work and to think for himself in the tight spots. " “The growing generation must be trained and guided in physical fitness and the more games they play the better it will be for them when they graduate into the high schools and colleges. The record of the boys on the battlefronts proves that the boys who were best trained physically in civilian life were able to endure any kind of hardship.” Coach McMillian put in a plug for all branches of sports competition for youngsters but reserved a special plug for football, his “first love.” “The grid sport is the nearest thing to war on the American sports calender,” he said. - McMillin’s spirited talk was well received by the 102 members of the Indianapolis Real Estate Board who attended the luncheon at the Washington hotel.
