Predict That Records Will Be Smashed

Records quailing or excelling the best time ever rolled oft on a mile dirt track are expected to be made Sunday in the opening automobile race meet at the Roby Speedway In Hammond. Jack Leech, president of th Roby Speedway Association, baa spent every available hour at the track this week in order to make sure that everything would be ready for the drop of the starter's Has. The Roby track Is peculiar. It Is underlaid by one of the few coarse gravel formations to be found in the Calumet region. The dirt track was built considerably higher than the surrounding- property so-that drain, age la perfect. Leech has been praying for rain this week but so far has been out of luck. He wanted it to help pack down the new clay surface which he has placed on the speedway. Yesterday he decided that he was not on the rain maker's calling list so he started hauling water to the track. Over five tons were soaked into the banked turns alone. This mnrp'ro- a stam roller started iron

ing out the surface and working It down to a brick pavement hardness. One coat cf oil has already been applied and more will be put on. This will entirely eliminate the dust nuisance which keeps may race fans away. Cars which tried out the speedway last evening failed to kick up' any dirt but Leech, will put on more oil to make sure. The fence, grandstand and refreshment booths are all finished. The big problem facing the association now is handling the swarm of entrants tor the races. It looks as though every fellow who has a speedy car has been waiting for the

Roby races to open. They are coming from near and far. The elimination trials will be Interesting for It Is certain that the field must be culled closely in order to prune the crowd down to a size easily handled. Leech Insists the races will start at 2:30 o'clock sharp. There will be no waiting for the crowd to father. There will be no long waits between races.

Wonder If Barney Dreyfuss is biting: off his nose to spite the rest of his stern face? When the current baseball season opened the Pirate owner and Catcher Wallie Schmidt were at loggerheads over Schmidt's salary demands. The dispute continued until Dreyfuss finally announced he was through (Oh, say not sol) with Wallie even if the capable backstop offered to sign at his old figure. Dreyfuss probably was sore when he said it. He's still sore, apparently. But meanwhile the Pirates are in need of Mr. Schmidt, salary or no

salary demands. Gibson has three young hurlers who need the experienced back

stop. They are Moses Yellowhorse,

Whitey Glazner and Johnny Morrison. Some critics even assert that Wilbur Cooper is not as effective without the veteran catcher. And these remarks are not meant as knocks for Johnny Gooch, young receiver who is working the majority of the games. He is doing his best as good as any young catcher could do under conditions. But he doesn't come up to Schmidt. Which makes it look as though Barney ought to consider the matter again and come to terms with Schmidt. If Schmidt still has a chance to take the initiative and reopen negotiations it miht be well lor him to go the limit, too. lie is missing what would seem to be a grand opportunity to prove his point if he believes he is a valuable member of the team. Wally Pipp, Yankee first saeker belongs in that list of luckless ball

players who are being benched,

traded or sold continuously by zealous scribes. Must confess I've traded him a eouple of times myself. And the recent return of Babe

Ruth and Bob Meusel to the Yank lineup after serving their term for misbehavior, explodes another wild idea entertained by some that their return would mean the benching at least of said Walter. Pipp was still on first and going strong when this was poundtd out. The New York scribes had reason to intimate that Pipp might be derricked at the time. Elmer Miller, young Norman McMillan and Fewster were going good in the outfield. It seemed possible that Huggins might put Babe Ruth on first to keep his outfield intact as was. But there was plenty of room for- Ruth and Meusel in the outfield when they got word to play. Whitey Witt was going

great guns but he was the only gardener who offhand could challenge the return of Bob Meusel or Babe to the outfield. Ruth was given a thorough tryout on first last spring but his first basing wasn't anything to brag about. It is probable that Huggins had an ulterior motive in working him there, as a w.atter of fact. Ruth was greatly over weight Idling about the outfield while waiting one's turn to catch fungoes doesn't produce the maximum action for a fellow why must reduce. So its a good bet that Huggins sent the Babe to first primarily to give him more work especially more stooping. Babe's waistline was a bit too Large for a ball player. Be it said to Pipp's credit that he has played heads-up ball and shown a fine disposition during all the talk of his being benched or otherwise disposed of. Mile. Suzanne Lenglen, French flash, has won the internation. 1 hard court tennis title. But that doesn't mean anything to Holla Bjurstedt Mallory. That little session at Wimbledon will be another matter.
