WATCH OUT FOR DURANT SAYS 0L0FIEL0

BT BARNEY OLDFIELD Written for International News Service. INDIANAPOLIS, May 26. Zip: Goes another hundred thousand dollars. Thi3 expresses the effort of Clifford Durant, millionaire in his own name and son of the multimillionaire manufacturer, in trying to win the Indianapolis 500-mile race next Tuesday. Toung Durant turned speed bug several years ago and has tried three times to win the great motor classic. So far he has failed and his attempts have cost him about $200,000. This year he has outdone all previous efforts and his bill, win or lose, will be a cool one hundred thousand dollars. He says he will count the cost small If he can win. Durant has the nerve and ability to whip speed out of any car, but ill luck has hoverea In his path heretofore. He had Harry Miller, the Los Angeles motor builder, go the absoluta limit in putting speed In a motor for him. Money was lavished in experiments for weeks but the result satisfied Cliff his efforts have not been In vain. He arrived here last week with a car that is the fastest thing shown on the track to date. This car averaged 155 miles per hour for fifty miles, in an actual race In California and is ready for the long, grind here as it Is possible to make a car with unlimited money and time to back up brains ,and engineering talent. I've watched young Durant drive many a race and I believe his chances better this year than ever before. I was with Durant and

expected to report to Assistant

Strater Joe Boyer, Thursday after

noon for the initial qualification

trials. In the trials the order of

start for the race Is determined

by the speed of the cars, the fast

est car getting the pole in the front row. The cars qualified on Friday will get positions in the field back of the first day's qualifiers in the

order of speed, and Saturday's cars

will be placed back of the ones

The qualifications demand that

a driver cover the 10 miles, or four laps of the course, at an average

It is expected that the cars this

the fleetest, according to all re

ports from Los Angeles, will not be ready to compete for places on

Thursday. These are the cars of

Champion Tommy Milton and

Jimmy Murphy. The latter is driv ing a Murphy Special, which re

TAGGING ALL THE BASE3 By JACK VEIOCK LN.S. Sports Kdfts

INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE The poor Bambino! Returning from the Isle of Elba only a week ago. Babe Ruth faced the almost certainty of another suspension today for throwing dirt at Mr. Hildebrand and going up in the stand after a bug. Ruth stood It till the chap hollered: "Ta big bum, ya!" . Then he went after him. While all this was going on, the Tanks were licking the Senators, largely through the efforts of Ruth's old Elba playmate. B. Meusel, who slammed out two homers, winning 6 to 4. Those man-eatin Tygers continue their destructive ways. They fell on three of Trjs Speaker's choice hurlers for enough hits to net a 7-3 victory. The phlounderln". Phillies went further into the cellar by dropping two to the Dodgers In a hit-fest that disclosed five home runs.

Five pitchers failed to stop the Cardinals' losing streak. The Pirates hit 'em freely and sent the Cards' record of straight defeats to five.

One of the springtime chop windows along Fifth avenue has been displaying a big purple Iris made of paper with a. tiny electric light Inside, transforming it into an Incandescent lily. But sometimes, If you are watchful in the garden on a dark summer night, you may see how nature does this more delicately. Once in a great while c firefly tarries inside some silken Iris, shining through the petals with a rich and intermittent glow.
