No. 7.Halied by Clutch Also to Get Final Test

By LOUIS ARMSTRONG . Bill Holland was scheduled to take to the track today in his No. 7 Blue Crown Special for a final check run before the opening

day of qualifications Saturday.

The second place winner for the past two years had his car on the track last week but it developed clutch spring trouble and had to go back to the shop. Holland will remain in Indianapolis until

after he has qualified and unless something unforeseen occurs that will be on Saturday. -His teammate and three-time winner, Mauri Rose, will be at the track Wednesday at which time he will give his No. 3 Blue Crown its final check-off before the time trials. Since the springs in Rose’s car were the same as those which were faulty in Holland's owner Lou Moore was in the process of changing them, too, joday, just to be on the safe side. td yy = ‘AS A WARNING to Lindley F. Bothwell, who will arrive at the track tomorrow with his ancient Peugeot Special, let us say—make sure your exhaust pipe is securely fastened. ‘A look in the record books disclosed that the last time the car was in the race, and that was back. in 1919, it went out in the 71st lap with a loose exhaust pipe. Art Klein was driving the French car that year ‘and was some distance behind the leaders]. when the car developed trouble. Mr. Bothwell owns the car and has entered it in the race more for the novelty than anything else. He wants to see how it will stack up against modern machines. The Woodland Hills, Cal, sportsman will drive the car himself.

a # . THE TWO TUFFY’'S Offy Specials to be driven by Emil Andres and Paul Russo are expected at the track tomorrow. The eight-cylinder Bowes Seal Fast Special which Mel Hansen will drive arrived at the track yesterday ahd the second Bowes car, a four-cylinder Offenhauser, is expected by airplane tonight or tomorrow. The Bowes car which has arrived at the track is the one which Rex Mays drove last year. : » 8 ” OTHER NEW arrivals at the track yesterday, which brought to 30 the total number of cars in Gasoline Alley, included the Don Lee Special to be driven by Mack Hellings, the Speedway Cocktail Special to be driven by Danny Kladis of Chicago and the Redmer Special which will have Charley Van Acker at the wheel.

Brown, Nichols In Hall of Fame

COOPERSTOWN, N. Y., May ® (UP)—The doors of baseball's hall of fame swung open today to admit Mordecai (Three-Fingered) Brown and Charles (Kid)

Nichols, two famous hurlers of]

yesteryear. Election of Nichols and Brown by the permanent hall of fame committee brought to 58 the total number of players now enshrined in baseball's hall of fame here. Brown, formerly of Terre Haute, had only three fingers on his pitching hand as a result of a mining accident. He was a star pitcher with the Chicago Cubs during the era of Frahk Chance. He won 20 or more games six times during his National League career, doing the bulk of his hurling with the Cubs from 19004 to 1912. Born in Nyesville, Ind., in 1876, Brown died Feb. 14, 1948. Nichols, who is 80 and now fives in Kansas City, Mo. was with the Boston Nationals from 1800 to 1901 and won 30 or more games a season for seven successive years. He also played for St. Louis and Philadelphia in the

Last year only three were’ paraded to the post for a futile challenge of Citation.
