INDIANS REST BEFORE MEETING LEADERS;
TRIBE READY
TO SCALP THE
ST. PAUL CREW
Double Win Over Colonels Re
stores Missing Pep to
Hoosier Outfit.
REHG CRASHES BALL
I
All was peaceful and serene at the
Indian battle ground today following
the massacre of the Louisville Oolouels
yesterday.
This was an off day for the Tribes
men. as well as every other club in the
association, and the local warriors were
busy gathering up a lot of pep for their
first clash of a four-game series with
the leading St. Paul club tomorrow. *
Yesterday's double victory instilled the
Hoosiers with a lot of confidence and
completely built up their somewhat
ragged spirit. Thev won the series with
the Colonels and they have hopes of
treating the Saints and all other clubs
coming here during their present home
stav in the same manner.
Clint Rogge and Jess Petty pitched
great ball for the Tribe In their double
bill yesterday and their teammates paid
their" share of the charges with air-tight
ball in the field and timely stick work.
Walter Rehg broke up the classiest lit
tle party that has been staged at Wash
ington park for some time when he
soaked the apple on the nose and sent it
sailing out to left field. No one stopped
to figure how many bases the hit would
have been good for. because it brauglit
Tex Covington in from second base, and
that was ail the Indians and fans needed
to make the day a perfect one. Rehg's hit
ended the second fray, which went six
teen innings. Both games were won over
the 2-to-l route. _
At the start of the first fray Tommy
Long was a trifle wild and the fans
figured there was an easy Indian victory
coming, but they were fooled. The
Colonels and Tommy himself tightened
before the contest was Tery old and made
the locals hustle for every advantage.
The first Indian tallv was registered In
the second round when Schreiber tripled
to left center and Gossett singled to left.
The Indians would have scored in the
first frame had not a brilliant double
jgay, the first of five during the contest,
cut them down.
DUKE MAKES
THE CIKCUIT.
Again in the fifth round did Hendricks'
athletes count. In this frame Rogge led
off with a single to right. Reilly at
tempted' to sacrifice, but forced Clint at
second To make amends. Duke stole
and went to third while Wortman was
throwing Shlnners out at the initial sack.
Duke then carried the run home, when
Wortman threw wide to Hirke on Cov
ington's grounder.
The visitors counted their lone first
game marker in the seventh. Lamar
tripled with one oat and came home
when Smith played for Kirke at first
base on a grounder instead of trying
for the man going home.
The second game had all the require
ments of a real baseball battle.
PETTY MAKES
GREAT COMEBACK.
Petty, after pitching eight innings Sun
dav, came back for another try at the
Colonels and handed them more stuff
than they could handle Decatur and
Wright also had the Indians in the tight
places most of the time, but not all the
tl *Lo"ulsville stepped in and knotted the
con it in the eighth round, or rather
Kocher stepped in and knotted the count.
He hooked the pill square and sent it
sailing over“the low left field fence.
After that It was a pitchers' battle until
the sixteenth round. Then Waiter Rehg,
who is looking hot at third in O Mara s
place, put the fray on ice for the home
club.

Duesenberg Positions in

of New Local Factory
“The performance of the Duesenberg
cars In the big race was mighty satis
factory to the officials of the Duesen
herg Automobile and Motors, Inc., said
L. M. Rankin, general manager and vice
president.
This company is to build its factory in
Indianapolis on ground purchased at
Harding and Washington streets for the
manufacture of the Duesenberg cars, to
be equipped with the "Straight Eight”
e-Kutert- twch as was used in the Duesen
berg tars yesterday.
The performance of the Duesenberg
crs was particularly pleasing to Fred
B. Duesenberg, who was working out the
cars almost to the last, the cars having
been made ready but a few days before
the race.
"Third, fourth and sixth for our own
cars, with the Muiford Special and Re-
Tere, finishing ninth and tenth, *~eing
equipped with Duesenberg motors, is in
deed more than we had hoped for,” said
Mr. Rankin.
“That this sort of record should be
made in the Indianapolis race, imme
diately preliminary to the starting of
the building of the factory, is indeed
pleading.”

Wild Excitement Marks
Finish of Auto Classic
Honors Snatched by Local
Pilot and Car in Last
Few Laps.
G. CHEVROLET WINNER
Indianapolis Driver Speeds to
Victory When DePalma’s
Mount Fails.
Speedway glory was brought back
home In the running of the eighth an
nual 500-mile classic yesterday in a fin
ish that fairly blazed with excitement.
Gaston Chevrolet, Indianapolis, driving
a locally built Monroe, breezed across the
finish line first, after having taken the
lead only since the 188th lap (470 miles).
He was the sixth driver to hold the
honor position during the all-day grind
and when *he finally moved up into the
advance position circumstances indicated
’ that he was there to stay and that is
when the stands broke loose with thun
derous cheering.
Indianapolis car, Indianapolis driver,
no wonder the throng cut loose with the
Joy stuff.
TOI'GH LUCK
HITS DEPALMA.
But amid the cheers for the ’victor
there were also many regrets for Ralph
DePalma, who lost first place In the 187th
lap after having led the field since the
I 111th lap.
DePalma had a safe lead, apparently,
when his car sprang a leak, the gasoline
feed line breaking. A small blaze started
and DePalma was forced to stop as he
came out of the north turn.
The blaze was extinguished, hut the
gasoline had leaked out nud Peter De-
Paolo, Ralph’s nephew and mechanician,
ran one-half mile to the pits to get a
supply of gasoline.
It was during this time that Gaston

He Is here shown on his last trip to the
pits trying to repair the car and get
bark in the race He returned, all right,
but ills lead was gone.
Chevrolet shot into the lead and. though
Depalwa finally managed to get back
Into the race, he had lost so much time
that he got no better tl)3n fifth.
It was the second 500-mile race that
DePaima lost near the finish, but he
didn't fail to srnlie through and ho was
applauded each time he passed the
stands.
G. Chevrolet's time for the distance
was 5:38:32 for an average of A5.55, which
is under the record established by De-
Palma In 1915.
Joe lioyet was the first to take the
lead in the starting field of twenty-three
cars and he set a pace that rapidly forced
the less prepared cars to drop out.
DePaima had tire trouble at the very
start and lost some ground. In the
meantime Boyer set n terrific pace and
he held it almost continuously until the
104th lap, when he was forced to go Into
the pits to get a supply of oil ana gaso
line and the stop cost him the honor po
sition.
Rene Thomas in a Bnllot shot into the
lead at this point, but was soon over
taken bv the flying DePnlma, who went
out in front seven laps later—the 105th.
Ralph then settled down to win the
race and he was not headed until bad
luck overtook him in the 187th lap after
he had built up a lead of more than
two laps.
Gaston Chevrolet drove an excellent
race and, though his driving went unher
alded In the early miles, fie gradually
crept up until he placed his car in the
position that enabled him to uilvance
over the field when DePalmas mount
faltered.
The winner made only two stops dur
ing the entire event, at 250 miles when
ho stopped to take on oil, gas and water,
and in the 197th lap, when he halted to
take on more gas.
RENE THOMAS
RUTS ll* BATTLE.
Rene Thomas, who finished second,
also drove a good race to get the posi
tion he did. 1-Ie faced many handicaps
being forced to 6top at least five times,
and once he narrowly escaped injury
.when his car became unmanageable and
be bounded against the retaining wall.
Late In the race Ira Vail relieved Joe
Boyer and then near the finish Boyer
again took the wheel only to be spilled
on the 197th lap.
His car turned over and both Boyer
and his mechanician, Erneßt Ansterberg.
were slightly injured. >
That accident finished Boyer’s car and
eliminated him but he profited greatly
by -winning a big slice of tho lap prize
money because of the many laps hs
won the first half of the event.
Tommy Milton, driving aa Duesenberg.
finished third, and Jimmy Murphy, a'
teammate, landed fourth place plum.
Following DePaima, who got fifth, was
Eddie Hearne in a Duesenberg, the third
car of that make to get in the money.
Jean Chassngne, Ballot, was seventh;
Art Klein (relief for Joe Thomas), was
eighth, in a Monroe; Ralph Muiford,
Muiford Special, was ninth and Tom
Alley (relief for Henderson), was tenth
:u a Revere.
Two previous 500-mile winners, now
ard Wilcox and Jules Goux, were forced
to leave the race when their Peugeot
mounts balked.
Wilcox dropped out of fthe field on
his sixty-third lap, but he received much
applause from his admirers as he walked
down the side of the track to the pits,
having left his car at the side of the
stretch.
It was certainly a neck-craning day for
the crowd. Attendance was estimated by
Speedway officials at 120,000, which sur
passes by 10,000 the previous 500-mlle race
attendance record.
The majority of fans came early, but
late comers streamed in until noon and
every stand was packed.
It was an orderly crowd, an orderly
race and a lucky race, inasmuch ns not
one serious accident occurred on the
track.
There were several spills, Art Klein in
a Frontenac figuring In the first wreck
when his car turned over in the fortieth
lap. Driver and meohanicisian were
thrown, but they rolled over uninjured
despite the fact that the car was said to
be hitting it qp at ninety miles per hour
at the time, j - i
Louis Chevrolet, brother - - tbs victor
SPEED VICTORY AN ALL-INDIANAPOLIS TRIUMPH
and designer of the winning Monroe car,
received a wrenched back when the
ing knuckle on his car broke and the
careening mount caused Louie to be
shaken up considerably.
Louis was forced to give up, but rapid
repairing was done and the popular de
signer and driver kept his car in the
race by putting Balderino at. the wheel.
Then " motor trouble developed am.
Balderino finally called it a day and took
the car off the track
The race started promptly at 10 o’clock
and when the last car was waved
track in the late afternoon it was 5:20
o'clock. Barney Oldfield In a Marmon
led the pace making lap and he gave
the racers an excellent start.
From then until the sensational finish
the roar of the racing motors was con
tinuous and deafening and the specta
tors were kept busy glimpsing scattered
brushes between ears and other thrills
of the track.
Although DePalma and Boyer got the
big slices of the lap prize fund four
others broke In on the plum for smaller
amounts.
G. Chevrolet, the winner, got $1,300.
representing the last thirteen laps. Rene
Thomas led seven laps and got S7OO, and
Jean Chassagne and Art Klein led one
lap each and got SIOO apiece.

The Entrant That
Raced Unannounced
There was one racer in the 500-mile |
classic at the speedway yesterday that
came on the track unheralded and un
sung, but while it was on the course It
created nearly as much excitement as
Gaston Chevrolet when he received the
checkered flag.
This unofficial entrant in the big grind
was not on wheels and was not entered
in the program.
It was the longest legged rabbit that
ever scurried and the manner in which
it put on its little sprint down the home
stretch threw the inultiude into near
turmoil.
It was along about 440 miles when the
cottontail made its appearance.
Most of the flying motors were either
on the back stretch or riding the north
turn, leaving the home stretch clear,
when Mr. Rabbit darted out from the
infield across from grandstand B and
started down the middle of the course.
On and on he hopped, in front of the
press stand, the paddock stand and when
he approached the pits he stopped, took
a look around and darted off again into
the infield.
Perhaps it was an omen of good lack,
because not one fatality occurred dur
ing the day.
Akers' American Railway Express nine
suffered a setback by the South Side
Turners Sunday, at Garfield. The score
was 14 to 8.
Recovery of Vaughn
iXeedea to Put cubs
Over the Breakers
Mitchell Can’t Hope to Reach
Goal Without Hippo’s
Aid.
Jim Vaughn's shoulder can’t stay lame
very long without beaching a very good
Cub ship that is steaming pennantward
or thereabouts.
Fred Mitchell has only two aces—Al
\ exander the Great and Hippo Vaughn—
to play for a SIOO,OOO pot. If one of
them loses his color, he may Just as well
throw liis whole hand in the discard.
Tris Speaker up to the present time Is
rocking in the same boat. Stan Coveleski
and Jim Bagby have been his lone de
pendable hurleTS.
The pennant can be won on two pitch
ers, as Kid Gleason showed the world
in 1010. but they have to be iron men.
But if the Cubs or Cleveland run into
a bunch of bad weather and find them
selves facing a late season schedule filled
with double-he.aders, they may have to
give way to another club.
If either team should have a task put
to them like the champion Reds had last
summer, when they played the Giants
six games in three days, they might
crack.

FOR FIRST SPlty

man and Charles Nicholson, will be
aboard her on her maiden trial. All are
enthusiastic over her appearance and con
fident she will behave satisfactorily.
The crews of the Resolute and Yanltla
are making final preparations for the of
ficial trials to determine the defender of
the Americas cup.
Why not a Rupp-Merit or Rupp-Ttger
game next Sunday? ‘Peggy” RochfUMi|

best amateurs in the West street sector
and he is anxious to meet the Merits
and Tigers any time and any place.

that the Rupps can hold their own
among the class of the city.
