Jake Schaeffer, balk-line champion of the world, finished seventy-nine points ahead of Welker Cochran, challenger for the title, in the first nJght's block of 600 points here last night. It was not a brilliant exhibition of the balk-line game, the winner averaging a mere 33 and something like a third and the loser falling down to 28.

MURPHY HAS LEAPT INTO FAME

Major League Clubs Standing

SPECIAL TO THE TIMES! ' " INDIANA POLLS, May 19. Jimmie Murphy, the Irish flash, the last

driver to enter the BOO mile drive

to be held at Indianapolis, Tuesday. May 30, broke a world's record for 100 miles in the last racing event before the historic Hosier classic. He hurtled his car around the Cotati course in. California at the rate of 114.93 miles per hour, making the century In less than S3 minute. He was two minutes under the former mark made by Eddie Hearne on the same track. Murphy has Jumped Into International fame as a race -driver, and although a youngster is as well known as many of the better pilots who have been In the speed game for a number of years. iris most notable achievement was wining the French. Orand Prix at Le Mans, France, a year ago, being the first Yankee driver in an American car to ever accomplish tho feat on foreign soil. Murphy 'has been making consistent inroads on win, place or show posttions In all the major events of recent months and mut be cmsidered a serious contender in the Indianapolis event, in which he has competed twice as a driver and several times as a riding mechanic. Quiet and unassuming. Murphy is still a 'boy in appearance. He got Into the racing game In a most unusual manner. He was employed in a garage when a number of stock racing cars arrived on the Pacific coast. Murphy was delegated to help prepare' them for the event. He like it, was a success and soon sfter Joined the Duesenberg forces. For sometime 'he road beside Champion Tommy Milton as mechanic but for three years has been piloting cars In Jiis own right and has done a mighty fine job of it, too. Murphy has been at the wheel of a Duesenberg, but for the Indianapolis race he has a brand new car built on the Pacific coast . He has not named it yet and probably won't until a day or two -before the race. Jimmy was fourth, at Indianapolis las year end fhat after the steering knuckle of Wj car had broken

and thrown 'him out of the running

Then came Frank Simon, the cleanup man, and gets the neatest home hun seen at Morris Park for many a day, this making the game 4 to L kind of took the heart out of the Gary boys, but much credit must be given the Gary pitcher and catcher who worked like demons to hold their team together but to no avail. The batting honors for the day go to Frank Simon. Meyers, Babe Simon, Kennedy, Bakalar, Babin, getting four and five hits each. In fact, the team in general hit well, all doing their bit at the right time, Bakalar, being a hot weather man was a little lose at times, but when he got busy he made things pretty hot for the Gary nine.

gets, the better he looks. This being his first game in two years, he sure showed up as if. In mid-season form. Homr will be the regular back-stop for the Colonials from now on. The fielding honors go to Ed Bloom, who sure knocks them down in great fashion, as also does Babe Simon. Meyers, playing ils first game at third, did well fo rthe first time but needs some kinks taken out ef his system. Oh. give him 4 chance, he'll limber up. The outfield In Kennedy, Simon and Barman looks just like the old Slegel. Schulte and Sheckard .combination of fly chasers, unbeatable and never miss. The mannager announced this team as the best that opposed the Colonials this year. Sorry, but to hear these fellows talk at league meetings a person would think they were primed for the big show. Next Sunday the Colonials go to Gary to play the Umpleby's at Gleason Park. Here's hoping this will be a good game. Tickets are for sale at the Colonial Sporting Goods Store.

By THOMAS L. CUMMJSKEY NEW YORK. May 17. BUI Brennan knocked out Jim Tracey, Australian heavyweight champion. In the eighth round of a scheduled 15round'bout In Madison Square Garden last night.. The elongated battler from the antipodes essayed too much against I.eo Flynn's warhorse in his American debut. Brennan cracked Tracy full on the jaw in the sixth round with his left and the man ambitious, to meet Dempsey went down. He got up and ran into a hurricane of blows. He took them gamely. The seventh saw him still stopping them, and Brennan arm-weary from walloping. In the eighth Brennan maneuvered Tracy Into a corner and proceeded to hammer his head off and shake up his midsection. After one minute and thirty-eight seconds the strength of Tracy gave out and down he went for good. Tracy was game to the core and the crowd gave him a great ovation for his stand against the more experienced slugger. The trouble with Tracy was that he was too ambitious In a strange heath. Bill Brennan Is a tough one for most any scrapper to tackle. The Australian's pride bit off more than he could swallow.

was injured when he fell Into the Cardinal dugout, yesterday left the hospital and accompanied his team to Cincinnati. ' At the hospital it was said Rapp's injuries were not as serious as first reported.
