AD AID PACKEY
NEAR A
MATCH
Ad Wolgast and Packey McFarland are closer to a match this morning than ever before, unless it be when that Milwaukee sheriff kept them apart last September. Tom Jones and Emll Thlry, the managers of the men, conferred on the matter of a ten-round fight between their famous charges yesterday. Jones and Thiry have conferred many times before and long and bitter have been the disputes. But this time everything was as calm as the old mill pond. When they separated it was understood that Packey-and Ad would fight It out in New York between June 1 and June 5 provided Wolgast gets what he wants In a financial way. "It's up to the New York promoters now," said Jones, after the talk. "Wolgast .and McFarland will agree on all terms in five minutes if I get what I ask in the way of a guarantee and percentage. There will be no trouble on the weight. We'll be lenient with Packey. All we ask is money enough, and I guess that Is what the McFar
land bunch desires, too. "Don't let anybody tell you that Wolgast is not as good as ever. In my opinion he is better than before his appendicitis operation, and you know that is saying a whole lot. He simply toyed with Ritchie and Daniels because I re
fused to let him cut loose. They were just test bouts. From now on he'll be
sent into win as quickly as he can.
"Wolgast will fight once & week from now until next Thanksgiving day If I can get a lucrative match for him each
week. I would like to give him three short fights in the next ten days. He won't travel farther than ten rounds
with anybody until he meets Rivers.
"Wolgast gets 50 per cent of the
gross gate with Rivers, as well as a big guarantee. He won't make less than $20,000 off that fight. Will he win? The
Mexican will be as soft for him as Moran was, and Owen could not hurt Ad, Jast what Wolgast clean up tht light
weights In the next few months. He's
a real champion, that boy."

Indianapolis, Ind., May 20. Gil Anderson's Stutz No. 1 did a triple flipflop on the northeast turn at the speedway yesterday afternoon while traveling through space at the rate of ninety-two miles an hour. The third revolution deposited the car knee deep In the soft mud which lines the Inside of the brick oval, driver and mechanician escaping without a scratch. The sturdy little racing car was undamaged, and Designer Harry Stutz announced, after viewing the "remains" and seeing the machine righted, that It would be out for practice- as usual today. " The accident . took place In the full view of the big grand stand In front of the starting line, and the big crowd that visited the speedway yesterday was on Its feetln an instant when Anderson's mount was seen- doing a zig
zag on tfie bank Just opposite5 the one and one-half mile post.
News of the mishap was brought to
the pits by Bert Dingley, who was driving his Simplex just ahead of Ander
son when the latter left the track. Available racing cars standing at the pits were quickly filled with a score
of "race bugs," who hurried to the as
sistance of the Stutz pilot. The sturdy Stutz was found deep In the mud in the middle of the ditch, deep gouges in the soft clay indicating the
circuitous, course of the racer as It had
deviated from the smooth track to the
right. Mechanician Frank Agan and Gil Anderson were throwing wet earth
upon the engine to extinguish a slight blaze which threatened to burn up the
insulation and oil on the motor.
But for the fact that the Insulation
was burned off the wires and the en
glne plastered with mud, Harry Stuts stated that the car was In, condition to
be driven back to the pits. The hood
was torn- from the radiator and frame.
The "wind shield" was bent badly Just about where "Shorty" Agan had been accustomed to sitting, but otherwise
the little racer was In shipshape and
little worse for its strenuous shaking
up.
. The accident Is attributed to the slippery condition of the turns. Oil
dropping from the speeding motors has made the banks .Vauauaily slippery and
Gil refused to take this Into considera
tion when he tore around the turn at high speed. He hung too close to the edge of the track, however, and the ear skidded off Into the mud. The Intrepid driver clung to the wheel in a frantic effort to bring the runaway motor back
to the treck, but as Anderson said after the spill, "the rear wheels kept coming too fast for the front wheels and the first thing we knew we were upside down in the mud.'

one-base hit by Moll and some clever

have Journeyed home with a shutout.
Bergman, who was on the mound for
Hammond, proved easy for the steel
city stlck-wlelders and as a result they found him for eleven neat hits. No matter what kind of a ball Bergman
put over the plate tnose Gary swatters
were there with the eagle eye and several-times it looked as if the pellet

With this, things looked a little brighter for Hammond, but Crozier tightened up and even refused to let the visitors touch the first sack. While Gary played an errorless game, Hammond did not give their twlrler very good support and four errors were chalked up against them. Hammond sent over a large delegation and Gary was likewise greeted by a large attendance. The score by innings:

CUBS DROP CLASH TO CAST OFF, 6-5
It might have been the return of the alleged Brooklyn hoodoo of last season that beat the Cubs at the west side yesterday afternoon, but it is more reasonable to think it was some splendid pitching by "Don Carlos' Pat Ragon,' a Cub castoff. The score was 6 to 2, and the Ragon person held the hopeful west sldera to four safe swats.. Heine Zimmerman didn't get one of the four, either, thus experiencing his second hltless game of the season. When Heine doesn't hit, the Cubs can't win. Sometimes they can't when he does hit. Along with their inability
to" .bat with, any degree of success the Cuba .were, guilty of some messy fielding that helped the Long Islanders to their total of six runs. Charley Smith, the tall, rangy twlrler of the Cubs, was sent to the slab at the start. He hadn't appeared since losing a tough, luck contest to Boston when the veteran Otto Hess opposed him and held the Cubs to one hit. Thla time Smith wasn'ti tip to his usual speed, and experienced a lot of trouble in. the second inning, finally being removed. Jim Lavender replaced him and Ditched some dandy ball, but the game was lost already. He gave his place at bat to a pinch hitter in the eighth and Jimmy Moroney hurled the last round for Chicago.

terday afternoon and went into confer
ence with President Sh!be, Manager Mack and Manager Jennings while awaiting the arrival of President Navin
of Detroit.
While the league officials were busy, the players also were in conference.
George Stovall of the St. Louis club,
Harry Lord of Chicago, and Field Captain Olsen of the Cleveland team were here as representatives to look after the Interests of the new players' organization which they have been asked to form. The other American league teams are in sympathy with the movement, but they want to see what John-" son does before they show their hand. The Detroit players stand pat and are more firm than .ever in their determination not to play unless Cobb is Immediately reinstated. From the indications at this hour it is more than likely that the American league will make an example of the rebels. The magnates have decided that something must be done to preserve the dignity of the organization, and that Is the reason for calling the special meeting. If such action is taken it remains to be seen whether the players of the other teams will stand by the Detroit men or they will bow before the will of Johnson In this matter.
