SPEEDWAY RECORD WILL BE SMASHED, RACE FANS BELIEVE

YANKS TAKE FIELD WITHOUT CAPTAIN

(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON. May 27 The line

up of the New York Yankees for to

day's game here included Babe Ruth,

but no field captain, unless Manager Huggins had made an over-night selection, of which there had been no announcement at an early hour. The New York manager, on receiving word late yesterday of the penalty imposed on Ruth by Ban Johnson, president of the American League, for challenging to combat a spectator at the game In New York Thursday, which, in addition as removal of captain, carried a $200 fine, declined to discuss his probable selection of a successor to Ruth. President Johnson's ruling automat

ically removes the suspension which kept Ruth out of the game here yesterday and he watched his teammates lose 3 to 1 by failing to cope with Zachary's twisters. Manager Huggins announced at once that the home run king would be back in the game today. The sympathetic attitude evidenced by Washington fans when Ruth appeared at batting practice yesterday assured him of a warm welcome on his return

INDIANAPOLIS, Mai 27. Watch

for a new record in the 500-mile auto

mobile race to be run at the Indianap

olis motor gpeedway next Tuesday. That is the by-word of followers of the sport who for days have watched 9 cars in their various stages of preparation for the contest. Officials of the course, while not declaring themselves, have indicated they, too, would not be surprised if the mark of 89.84 miles per hour, established by Ralph DePalma in 1915, -was broken. The speed shown in the qualifying trials and practice spins indicate that the fastest field, as a whole, ever to compete in the sweepstakes, will face the starter at 10 o'clock next Tuesday

morning. From Jimmy Murphy, who averaged 101 miles an hour in his trial and won the pole position, down to those who barely bettered the required average of 80 miles an hour for tn miles, the field appears to be about the best of any that ever en

tered a race at the local track.

Four former winners of a 500-mile contest are entered in the Memorial Day conquest. They are Jules Goux, Ralph DePalma, Howard Wilcox and Tommy Milton, 1921 champion racing driver. Leon Duray and Jules Ellingboo, leading dirt track drivers, also will be behind a wheel at the start. Eddie Hearns, Ralph Mulford, Ira Vail, Cliff Durant and Tom Alley are other favorites entered. Watch New Features. Automobiles belonging to Frank Elliott, Tommy Milton and Jimmy Mur

phy, which arrived here late this week from the coast, are receiving a majority of attention from the fans. The rotary motor, driven by Frank Davidson, the French cars to be handled by Jules Goux and Eddie Hearns, and the English machine belonging to W. G. Hawkes, of London, England, also are coming in for their share of attention. With a lap prize of $50 up for the winner of each trip around the 2

mile oval, competition for position has i been unusually keen. Some of the drivers are expected to go out after the lap money from the start, while others may be counted on to pursue a policy of consistend driving with a view to winning a big portion, of the $85,000 prize money. Seven drivers remain to qualify for the race and they are expected to take their turns this afternoon. They are Eddie Hearns, Jules Goux, Howard Wilcox. Frank Davidson, Tommy Mil

ton, Frank Elliott and Jack Curtner.

NOVICE GETS DRAW WITH JACK BRITTON (By Associated Press) OKLAHOMA CITY. Okla., May 27. Ray Long, a rugged Oklahoma ring product, holds the record of having fought Jack Britton, welterweight boxing champion, to a draw as the result of their 12-round decision bout here last night.

DRIVERS TUNE UP FOR

FUNK'S LAKE RACES

Entrants for theopening auto races May 30 at the Funks Lake Speedway, who have been tuning up their cars on the half mile course, claim the track to be the best half mile dirt course in the country, and that no doubt new half mile records will be set. Manager Funk is putting every effort forth to put the track in the best of condition for motor racing. The time the drivers already are making is proof that the track is now in first-class

shape. Judging from the requests for entry blanks there no doubt will be several of the country's best dirt track drivers lined up to receive the word "Go."

GREENVILLE, EATON TO PLAY EATON. Ohio, May 27. Greenville will furnish the opposition for Eaton at the ball park here Sunday afternoon. Play will be called at 2:30. In each of the three games played here this season, Eaton has scored a shutout over its opponents.

sented at the Richmond theatre Sunday, there is a sweat-shop scene showing how artificial flowers are made in

some of the East Side factories in

atmosphere for this scene. Cosmopolitan productions, which made the picture, obtained the services of thirty

women workers for a real factory.

Not only the workers, but the fore

Kiwanis Club Wins From Maker Meats Bunching their hits in the sixth and final inning, the Kiwanis club won from the Maher meats at Exhibition park Frday afternoon by the score of 5 to 4. Up until the sixth inning, the Mahers were leading 4 to 1. Herb Logan singled with two out In

the sixth and the winning run was on the paths. The Mahers gathered eight hits in the contest, but lost the game through inability to hold in the pinches. Probably the reason for the defeat of the Mahers was that the Kiwanis batters received six bases on balls.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 27 The tenth renewal of the Kentucky handicap, $10,000 added, for three-year-olds and upward at one and one-quarter miles, is slated as the stellar attraction at Churchill Downs today. Eight thoroughbreds representing many sections of the country were named as starters last night. The veteran campaigner Exterminator, owned by W. S. Kilmer, winner of the Kentucky derby and many other stakes, is expected to face the barrier a great favorite despite the fact that he must carry topweight of 133 pounds. The next nearest weight is that carried by Firebrand, Jefferson Livingston's entry, whose impost is 119 pounds. Exterminator took the Clark handi

cap last Saturday in handy fashion and proved that he still ha3 the go that made him a winner in the Kentucky derby a few years ago. The gross value of the feature today will be approximately $11,000 to the winner, with $1,500 to second, $S00
