(SFEC1AL TO THE TIMES! INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. May 18. Five drivers born on alien soil have won the Indianapolis five hundred mile classic and four Yankees have copped the world's leading speed event. If an American born pilot can win the tenth annual 5J on May 30 the score will be. evened. The first two years the Yanks had it their own way, Ray Harroun being the 1911 victor and Joe Dawson slipping across the wire first in 1912. Then Europe cut in and Jules Goux, a Frenchman, grabbed the big prize in 1913. Rene Thomas, his countryman. copped in 1914. Ralph Dc-Palma. a naturalized American but Italian born, gathcrel in the title in 1915. Dario Resta, born in Italy and reared in England took first honors in 1316. Howard Wilcox, a Crawfordvil, Ind., lad. was first across the wire in 1313, but France came back in 1920 when the late Gaston Chevrolet, breezed j home after DePalma faltered. Iast I year Tommy Milton, world's speed king and speedway champion made : it four for America, the St. Paiul lad Out of the nine previous winners Gaston Cheverolet is the only driver not living, Ray Harroun and Joe Dawr-on and Dario Resta have retired. Tommy Milton, last year's winner is an entry but has not yet arrived at the track. Goux has come across the Atlantic to battle for the $20,000, the winner's end of the purse; and DePalma and Wilcox are tuning up on the track every day. Thus far no driver has been abel to repeat a 500-mile victory but the dope may be upset in If 22. as a year ago Louis Chevrolet had the honor to be the first engineer to design and buiid a winner copping in 1920 and 1921.

Jack Demp. sey and retinue are coming In on the Aqultania tomorrow afternoon, and just to make the business look business-like, the eminent Mr. Rlckard and Frank Flournoy will be at the dock to meet them, with sheafs of official-looking papers protuding from every pocket. The promoters will be present, ostensibly to sign Dempsey then and there to articles of agreement, callins for him to meet Harry Wills In Montreal, July 1, and Jess Willard In Jersey City on Iabor Day. In reality, they could sit In comfort in their madison Square Garden offices and vralt until Dempsey and Jack Kearns pay them a friendly call, for no contract, if one has not already been entered Into, will be signed on a packing case down at the dock. The parties In question know very well when and where Demfsey is to fight next, and they have a preity fair Idea of his projected opponent's identity. "Society Kid" Hogan is after a match with the winner of the Mike Dundee-Bill Henry bout, which will take place tomorrow night on the Commodore. Because of the enthusiasm for rrlilltary training exhibited by young men in Porto Rico, a training camp is to be established on the Island by the war department.

COLUMBIAS CHALLENGE THE CHICAGO K. OF C. By CHUCK LIESENFELT Due to the lact that the ColumbiaChicago Haights game was called off last Sunday on account of rain. Manager Lietzan of the Columblas booked the strongest team he could for next Sunday and in this way give the fans their money's worth. The St. James K. of C. of Chicago, managed by the well-known KIggie Moran, will be at West Hammond Sunday to cross bats with the Columbias. Riggie Moran, who pitched two successful games against the Hammond pros a few years ago. will come back to this city, well stocked with the best semi-pro ball players in Chieasso. The K. of C.s won six successive games this season and are of the Chicago league, which means that the Columblas will have to step lively if they wish to chalk down their sixth victory of the season. The Columblas will hold their same lineup as in previous games, with the exception of Flawers, who will have his try-out In the outfield. The Columbia boys, captained by Khode have had a good sound practice last Tuesday evening and with a light skull practice Friday night the local boys will be pretty hard to error. Don't forget, fans. If you wish to see a real semi-pro ball game, Sunday will be your chance and the club promises not to let the fans go home disgusted. The Columblas lineup for Sunday will be: Rome', p; Shepard. c; Rhode lb: Baker. 2b; Barbalen. ss; Keck! Moll, 3b: and Lietzan. Flip and Jabbo in the outer garden with Zlemkowskl and Flawers as utility men. The game will start promptly at 3 P. M. at the West Hammond bail park at the corner of 152nd st. and Wentworth Bve.

COCHRAN PUTS UP GREAT FINISH Ey ED W. SMITH (Written for International News Service) CHICAGO, May 18 Behind at the end of the twenty-eighth inning by 285 points, Welker Cochran put up one of those grand finishes in the second block of his championsmp balk-line billiards match with Jake Schaeffer, and as a result of his smashing good run of 159, the contest is now where It was at the end of the first night's play. Jake gained a mere matter of two points on Welker and the score now siavt 1,000 to 919 In favor of the champion. A mere matter of 100 points appears to be nothing between these young fellows and one single break for one or the other will not only even it up but make It mighty perilous for the champion. Just by way of a suggestion and not a prediction at all. we'd say that Jake Is playing the steadier and better billiards. Welker shows

List with the comebacks of 1922 Harry Coveleskie, once great southpaw pitcher of the Detroit Tigers. After four years in retirement he has heard the call of the game again and has signed with the Oklahoma City team in the Western league. For years the southpaw, brother of Stanley Coveleskie jf the Indians, was the Tigers' star hurler.

he appeared in hid prime. great stroke and some wonderful billiards in spots but he makes more mistakes than does Jake. Easily the feature of the match so far is the run of 159 right at the finish of last night's match. Schaefer needed four to go, missed and then left a frrcasy looking shot, covered with oil, that Cochran studied for a bit and then grabbed it off, one of the balls being frozen to the rail at a mighty difficult angle. From this discouraging start he ut. gan the most remarkable run of the two nights. At the count of 100 his cue ball was frozen to the other white and it looked like a desperate attempt. But he made it and then continued on to 159 w hen a short bank shot, but at a difficult angle, forced him to sit down. Then Jake ran out the necessary four. He will continue tonight in the final block -with the balls In none too good a position. PURDUE HITLESS, 4-0 LAFAYETTE, IND., May IS Castner. of Notre Dame, pitched airtight ball against Purdue yesterday and the Boilermakers went hitless, losing the game, 4 to 0. The big Notre Dame moundsman was Invincible. A phenominal catch by Kelly saved the day for Castner. Wallace had two bad Innings, but pitched good ball the rest of the time. Dr. Edward S. Elliott. Purdue's new president, pitched the first ball of the game and It went over for a strike. E. SPECIAL TO THE TIMES WHI'lING, Ind., May 18. East Chicago high, school baseball team trimmed Whiting; here yesterday afternoon 4-3. Ginthir, star slabman for East Chicago, haS the game entirely In hand until the final Lining, being r.icked for four scattered blows In seven Innings, while striking out nine. East Chicago outhit Whiting eight to four, and outflelded the Oil City team. Four whiting players walked In tne seventh Inning, but Zivlch, relief pitcher, forced Dwin to fly to short left with the bases full, and fanried Walsko for the final out. Chrustowskl, besides catching a remarkable game, hit four times In succession, ending with a perfect day at bat. Quasni showed well in the Infield X the hot corner, flagging several drives, while Lott annexed five putouts In left field. The Whiting infield played good ball b'ut tended to crack with men on bases. Koch, pitcher who beat Lowell Monday and bested Chicago Heights twice, tolled five innings and finally was driven from the box, Keder finished. Four of East Chicago's hits were extra base drives, Graham dropping one In Lake Michigan, which feat was duplicated by Walsko for the locals. With the bases full in the seventh, play was temporarily hailed while the field was cleared of frenzied spectators who persisted in crowding on the field.
