JOE BOYER WON'T RACE AT SPEEDWAY

SPECIAL TO THE TIMES) INDIANAPOLIS, May 22. Joe Boyer. Detroit Millionaire driver, will not battle for the J100.000 in prises in the tenth annual 500-mile rsee, Tuesday, May 30, but he will P?ay an important part in the race. Boyer has retired as a race driver but has been selected by Capt. E. V. nickenbacker, of Detroit, the starter of the race, to act as his assistant. The post of assistant starter Is an important one in the conduct of the race as his post is on the track anil it is up to him to line up the fleld and prepare it for the start, also to set as "laison officer" between the chairman of the technical committee, stationed in front of the pits snd the starter and refreee, located in the official stand at the tape. Boyer's passing as a race driver is regretted by many fans as he was Rlwayg a spectacular driver and one who would go out and get the last ounce of speed out of his car, regardless of consequences. In the last two 500-mile events Boyer has teen among the leaders at the start and a factor all the time his car was in the running. In the 1929 event he had his Frontenac out in front practically every lap of the first 250 miles and won the lion's share of the $20,000 lap prize. Joe Bpyer's first appearance in sn Indianapolis event was In 1915 ps a relief driver for Ixtuls Chevrolet's little Cornelicn. The minature car was not fast enough to qualify with Louis Chevrolet driving, dus to Louis' 200 pounds. Boyer, a perronal friend of Louis, was around the track and Chevrolet nominated him as a relief and the rules permitted Boyer to qualify the car. With the millionaire hehind the wheel the little car beat the minimum speed of 85 miles an hour. Mechanical trouble eliminated it before Joe had a chance to drive. His next appearance at Indianapolis was as relief driver for the three Chevrolet brothers on the first Frontenac team in the 1918 event. In 1919 he drove a Frontenac and was well up in the running when he threw a rear wheel and only his ability to hold the car at 100 miles an hour prevented a fatal accident. Boyer has retired from the racing game to go into business and is now vice president of the Miller-Judd Co.. Detroit, distributors for the Liberty and Peerless lines, which makes it impossible for him to devote the necessary time to the sport to continue racing.

HAfMD LEGION TEAM POTS IT OVER DOLTON

Playing before a crowd estimated at two thousand, the Hammond American Legion baseball team defeated the "strong Dolton American Legion nine at Harrison Park yesterday afternoon, in a slugging bee by a score of 9 to 6. This was the first defeat of the season for the Dolton team, who up to yesterday, had annexed six victories. Sammie Creasbaum, one of the best pitchers in Hammond, was on the mound for the Hammond vets and although hit hard he had his hits scattered so that no damage was really done. The local boy was in good form when he was in danger eight strike outs. Chespke, for the visitors, pitched good ball, but was a trifle wild, the Hammond boys took advantage of his wildness, and with the help of their bat, fattened the score up to a safe margin. Chespke struck out eleven batsman. Hammond played consistant ball throughout the entire contest, outplaying their opponents in every angle of the game. "Ping" Dalton, home run king of the visitors, added another to his credit, when he sent a terrific drive to center with a runner on third. It is said that the drive was the longest ever seen at the local park. "Ping" also

smashed out a triple in the fourth inning; no one was on at that time. Kink and Dalton featured for the j visitors, while credit is equally di- , vided between the Hammond team, j Hammond started to score in the first inning when a hit batsman, two walks and a single netted two runs. ! The visitors tied the count In their lhalf of the third on a single, double and a triple.

Sanction Given Steel Golf Shafts

Last Tuesday the Western Golf Association at the Kdgewater Golf Club, held a field test, of the new steel shafted golf club. The experiments were made by Bob MacDonald and Allan Gow, Chicago professionals, and Chick Kvans, former amateur and open champion. Each player drove six balls with steel shafted clubs and six with hickory shafted clubs. The executive committee of the Western Golf Association on the following day announced that its investigations and tests showed that steel shafted golf clubs gave no mechanical advantage to players and their ue would be permitted in tournaments conducted by this association. It will be remembered that the United States Golf Association recently barred the steel shaft, but in official circles it is understood that this decision may be reconsidered. Golf club manufacturers admit that the hickory supply is very low and growing scarcer each year. They also say that only a few good rlckory shafts can be produced from every batch of hickory cut. This, of course, gives some golfers better clubs than others. It also gives every golfer a different quality club. The new steel golf shafts, however, provide every golfer with exactly the same quality clubs. This new development gives tho 100 and over player just as good clubs as the professional or champion has hid. Golfers say that these new steel shafts make their clubs feel good and hang right. They are lighter than hickory so that the weight of the club is brought lower and the balance is consequently more perfect. This nicety of balance, of course, is what golfers are constantly looking for. It permits them to feel the had and thus hit the ball more naturally. The steel shaft will not help you drive further nor straighter as was proven this week in Chicago, but it does give the average golfer a better club it gives him more confidence in his game. As we heard one man say the other day: "No club is going to help a man keep his eye on the ball any better." And as a leading profassional said recently: No one can make a polf club which will give a man a golf game, but if you can make him a stroke, he can use any old club and get good results." When a club feels good in yoir hands, then's when you play better golf. It therefore seems that it is the beautiful baianco of the steel shafts which is making them so popular.

TAGGING ALL THE BASED By JACK VEIOOC LN.S. Sport Udfesv

The esteemed Babe Ruth got his first and only hit of the season to date, a double to right, as the Yankees disposed of the Browns, 8 to 5, In ten innings. The safety had little or nothing to do with the victory, Aaron Ward carrying home the winning run against Bayne. in addition to playing a great defensive game at second base. "Kid" Gluion attempted to disconcert the Senator by ahoounf

Handsome Harry Courtney, long on the Senatorial payroll, at his old playmates, but the stuff didn't &zz. Harry was driven to cover in two innings and the White Sox dropped another ball game without a dissenting vote. . McGraw displaced the much ballyhooded thinners in center fieVd with Cunningham In an effort to put more punch in the batting order, but Pete Donohue held them to a single run and the Reds won easily. Jess Barnes was easy for Cincinnati and no Manhattan tears were shed when he retired for a pinch hitter In the seventh. I was the second straight defeat for the Giants. The Braves pulled out a ninth inning victory over the Cardinals after Marquard and Sherdell had engaged in a lei't-handc-d pitching duel through the full nine innings. Southworth's homer with one on in the eighth gave the Braves a onerun lead, which the Cardinals promptly tied. Then the Braves came back with another in the ninth. And that was that. For reasons not altogether accountable, the Dodgers got away to a winning start in their series with the Cubs, getting to Aldridge, Osborne and Freeman for 18 hits, while Reuther was holding the Cubs safe at all times. It was Reuther'a seventh victory in eight starts this season, the Giants being the lone team to beat him.

Frank Simon let the Imps down with two hits, Hammond w.nning 9 to 0. Gary showed complete bewilderment in front of Simons shoots, fifteen traveling the strikeout route, and only one man getting as far around as third base. The Colonials counted two in the first on free tickets to B. Simon and Bloom, a pas3ed ball by the catcher and a single by Meyers. With Simon pitching so splendidly, those twe runs were a plenty but with one gone in the second frame Hudson walked, took second on B.

Sheridan whiffed. That was all until the sixth when Porkey Ebert walloped to deep left for two bases and counted on Hudson's drive in the same direction. B. Simon followed with a blow to left, Hudson scored when the throw-in went wild and B. Simon took third. Bloom lifted to the right fielder and Babe scored after the catch. Meyers struck out and F. Simon grounded out. The last two runs came in the last inning, a result of F. Simon's double, an error by Donovan, and hits by Bakalar and Ebert. Simon's stinginess with base hits robbed Gary of whatever chances they had to score. After Howard and Weiger had struck out in the third the husky Mahoney walked.

Deal missed a third strike and the opportunity went glimmering. Thev threatened in the fourth when Collins caught one on the end of his bat and started it on a ride to left. Meyers apparently lost it in the sun but backed tip and took it with his bare right hand. Howard followed immediately with a trash to center and Sheridan went ail the way to the fence for the put-out. Bloom threw out Weiger.

BAGLEY SEES NIX BUT GENE

INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICEJ NEW YORK. May 22 With countenance of Bubonic Plague, Frank (Doc) Bagley predicts that Gene Tunney will defend hls American light! heavyweight championship against the eccentric advances of Harry Greb to such effect tomorrow night that Harry will not be among those present at the end. Bradley is predicting that his man

will win by a knockout, which is the

only way he can win from Greb. All indications point to Greb out

pointing any man of his weight in u. limited round engagement, and the

writer, in company with many oth

crs, believes that Tunney has neither the speed nor the punch to get Greb

inside of 15 rounds. Tet Bagley is sincere in his declaration, and stran

gely enough has managed to con

vince men whose convictions might

be said to be hard boiled. Tunney never has shown any par

ticular ability, even in winning the

title from the decrepit Bat Levins ky. He is fast without being act'

ually unlawful about it. And he hits just well enough to gain res

pect.

That is our impression of Tunney, but Bagley says it is as wrong as rat poison. Tunney has never been allowed to show his best, he avers, and gives his reasons forth

with.
