It Has Been Colorful Show Since 1911
m m m
Here They Come—and There They Go!
D°. w X through the years at the Speedway the 500-mile
test of heart and skill on the part of the drivers, the en
durance of the cars to hold out under the terrific strain of
the pace, the flurry of action in the pits, all have combined
to form America’s greatest motor sports spectacle since
1011, on May 30.
The parade, the lineup of pilots, the preliminary lap and
then the race—2oo times around the two and one-half mile
treacherous course—gets under way and settles down to a
swiftly-moving string of roaring speed creations guided by
the daring space eaters, accompanied by the no less daring
but unheralded, ever-ready'mechanicians.
Fans Kush at Finish
F'ROM 10 a. m. to mid-afternoon
the larger part of the crowd
watches the "herc-they-come-and
there-they-go” picture, and as the
event nears the finish thou
sands of spectators rush back to
their seats or other points of van
tage to see the conclusion of an
other International sweepstakes.
It's an unusual sports event
from one angle. Thousands of the
race-goers present do not see the
entire event, but take time out to
relax, eat, visit among friends in
other parts of the grounds or to
enjoy a catnap now and then in
their machines parked on-the in
field.
The show today is the twenty
first, twenty scheduled at 500 miles
and one of 300 miles, in 1916. Rain
halted one, in 1926, at 400 miles,
the late Frank Lockhart winning
the curtailed race.
The 300-mile battle of 1916, won
bv Dario Resta, was an experiment,
and it failed to measure up to 500-
mile interest and thrills, and when
racing was resumed following the
war years of ’ll and 'lB the distance
was restored to the five-century
mark.
Wild Bull of the A. A.
Baseball fans of the a. a.
would have liked to have seen
Trls Speaker stav on as manager
of the Kansas City Blues, but at
the same time they are glad to
welcome his successor, Nick Allen,
formerly known as the “Wild Bull
of the A. A.” Nick used to pilot
the St. Paul Saints and there was
always something stirring above
the ordinary run of things when he
was in the ball park.
Baseball followers in the Hickey
loop will recall the many hard
fights between the Indians, when
Ownie Bush was at the helm here,
and when Allen piloted the Apos
tles. Both went, to the front for
their teams at the drop of a hat
and there was excitement, galore
whenever the rivals mixed in a
close contest.
Allen has been out of the league
for some time, and last December
it was reported Columbus was in
terested in taking him on. but was
compelled to etnnlov Ray Blades of
the St. Louis Cardinal chain, of
which the Red Birds are a link.
If there is anv fire in the Blues.
Nick is sure to start it blazing
Moreover, be needs hut little kin
dling to build a bonfire.
Yankees, Nats
Renew Rivalry
Jin T'nit erf Prrsft
NEW YORK. May 3(l.—Eight Me
morial day double-lK?aders were
scheduled in the major leagues to
day, but the baseball world riveted
its attention on the twin bill be
tween the New York Yankees and
the Senators at Washington because
of the back ground of hostility be
tween the club and their intense
pennant rivalry.
Because of the inflammable sit
uation. William Harridge. president
of the American League, warned
players of both clubs to confine
their activities to baseball, and that
any fighting would be punished se
verely.
The Yanks, leading the league,
were only two games ahead of the
Senators. Washington could take
the lead by sweeping the three
game series.

Clark Tells of Hildy
ORAL HILDEBRAND will be the
subject of a talk by Potsy
Clark over WKBF this evening at
6 o'clock. Clark was athletic direc
tor at Butler university when Hilde
brand was a star pitcher and basket
ball player with the Blue.
Oral will return to Indianapolis

land Americans and Indianapolis
Indians at Perry stadium.

Those One-Hitters
THREE times in two years Tom
my Bridges has stood on the
threshold of baseball’s hall of fame,
only one hit robbing him of the
privilege of joining his fellows who
have pitched no-hit no-run games.
Old Grover Alexander pitched
four one-hit games in the season
of 1915. Addie Joss, the old Cleve
land fire-baller, shared Tommy’s
experience. Three times during the
1907 season he pitched one-hit
games, twice against Detroit, once
against New York.
tt a tt
Pinch Hitter Connects
IN his one-hit game of last Aug
ust, two were out in the ninth
when Walter Johnson sent Dave
Harris up to pinch hit for the
Washington pitcher. It was Har
ris’ single that spoiled the game.
Bridges did not grumble. In the
locker room afterward he said:
“Sure I was disappointed, but I
didn’t want a no-hit game if I
couldn’t honestly earn It. Suppose
Harris had whiffed on purpose, just
for the sake of giving me the rec
ord; what satisfaction would I get
out of that?
“After all, there's a lot of luck in
a no-hit game. Everything has to
break just right.”
a a
IKE BOONE and Buzz Arlett,
batting sensations of the Inter
national League, who were dropped
from the majors because they
couldn’t play outfield, are going
great in the minors again. Buzz is
the home-run hero in Baltimore,
and Ike hit in twenty-nine straight
games for Toronto.
tt a a
Bill Skiff, former A. A. catcher,
is an illustration of the reason most
boys taking up baseball steer clear
of catching. He had eleven frac
tures of fingers on his right hand
in fifteen years of league ball.
a a a
Dan Comerford, baggage and
clubhouse man for the Brooklyn
Dodgers for twenty years, says Hack
Wilson takes the prize in soiling his
uniform. Dan declares old Jack
Quinn was one of the neatest
players.
a o o
Babe Connaughton, former all-
America grid guard at Georgetown,
weighed 295 when In playing form.
He now scales 195. Yes, he's been
employed, but you can't beat those
free meals when you are the hero
of the campus.

There were a lot of yachting caps
worn at the 500-mile race here to
day, but where were the yachts?
That's about all most former
yachtsmen have left, their sea-go
ing headgear.
representing the two circuits in the
world fair contest.
President John Heydler of the
National League told the United
Press today that Charles A. Stone
ham, president of the New York
Giants had proposed the selection
of McGraw as one of the managers.
McGraw, vice-president of the
Giants, retired as 'manager last
summer after thirty years on the
bench.
Prexy Heydler said it was quite
probable the club owners of his
circuit would choose McGraw at
their meeting in New York. June 20.
Reports from American League
sources idicated that Connie Mack,
manager of the Philadelphia Ath
letics. was favored by most officials
and players to pilot their all-star
team. The last time Connie and
McGraw were opposed was in the
world series of 1913.

here Monday night.
ly settled in their seats when Mc-
Larnin was turning a handspring
at ring center to celebrae his vic
tory.
Corbett started the bout in a
workman-like manner. A southpaw,
he waded in and dealt a dozen tell
ing blows without a return from
McLarnin. For two minutes Corbett
held the edge and then the dyna
mite in McLarnin’s mitts exploded.
They were almost in mid-ring
when McLarnin landed first with
his right and then with his left and
Corbett, glassy-eyed, went to the
floor. He got to his knees, watch
ing Blake count, and arose as Blake
said nine. McLarnin, sensing the
kill, was upon him. Three fast lefts
and Corbett sagged again. The
fourth sent him to the floor He
got up only to walk into a long
looping left that sent him crumpling
into a corner.
Blake hesitated not at all. He
raised McLarnin s hand. Meantime
Corbett got up from the floor, his
back to his opponent and the ref
eree and started looking from Mc-
Larnin. He was out on his feet and
his seconds led him to his corner
Ring experts held that Corbett’s
mistake was in leading when he has
been essentially a counter-puncher
Just before the fight, McLarnin told
newspaper men he hoped Corbett
would “make just one mistake’*
Corbett made the mistake in lead
ing, it seems.
