SPEED TRIALS
FOR 500-MILE
ENTRANTS OPEN
Drivers Strive for Best Time
and Choice Places for
Race Start.
LEADING PILOTS READY
Elimination trials for the SOO-mile
•peed chase at the Indianapolis Motor
Speedway Monday were to open at 1
o'clock this afternoon, and the drivers
were ready to mark the opening of the
qualifications with some of the most re
markable speed ever made in the ten
miles of running to see “who's who.”
It is necessary for a car to travel ten
miles (four laps of the big brick oval)
at an average speed of eighty miles per
hour, or better. Any car on the track
can easily bat off the required speed,
but thu is not at all the big object. The
ear making the fastest time in the elimi
nations will be the pole car in the big
race, and all others will get positions
according to their speed, so it is the aim
of the drivers to cut loose with every
thing they have and grab the choice po
sitions for the start.
Up until the time trials started this
afternoon, nothing on wheels at the
Speedway had been able to show Ralph
lie Palma and his blonde Ballot how to
travel, but yesterday was a day of work
for every mechanic and driver at the
speed plant, and there were rumors of
plentiful “dark horses” before the'heats
opened this afternoon. Ralph copped the
post position iu his Ballot last year, but
the rival pilots are determined that he
wUI know what opposition means before
the last car has been qualified for the
1921 event.
Tom Hay was to act as official starter
in the trials, with Charles Root as his
assistant. Tho brake tests will be con
ducted Saturday afternoon by F. E. Ed
wards. Dr. H. R. Allen, Speedway sur
geon, has hit hospital rigged up in fine
atyle, and will conduct physical examina
tion of the drivers, relief drivers, mecha
nicians and relief mechanicians, starting
this afternoon.
They were few of the drivers ont yes
terday afternoon, that is, few of those
who have been around the place long
enough to get a real line on their cars
lie Palma and his "little family” worked
hard on the Ballot all afternoon without
even casting their eyes in the directiou
of the track.
Wilcox and Chassagne were net seen
around the track, neither were they out
Monday. The Peugeot team evidently is
“sittin' pretty,” and ready to qualify at
any time.
Andre Boillot was the only member of
the Sunbeam tram out for a little spin,
and he went "dead” and had to be
pulled In. The Frenchmen didn't say
what the trouble was, bat they were not
very excited, sothe chances are that It
was just some minor difficulty.
Joe Thomas was out pounding the
socks/4>ff his Junior Special all the way
• round throughout the afternoon, and
had the satisfaction of going Just a wee
bit faster than at any other time since
he haa taken the “blue beauty’ under
Ms wing. Joe didn't crack any rec
ords. but he finished up fast enough to
let the other boys know they will have
to figure him "in” when the big drive
starts. Joe can’t hit a mean clip on the
stretches and coast on the turns; he
hasn't got the speed. But the hard-work
ing pilot is taking the turns wide open
and seems to be getting along In fine
•tyte
While all other members of the Bennie
Hill team wer*> working like a lot of
Trojans on the Duesenberg, “Gentleman
Jerry” Wonderlich was around the pits
telling the boys to “watch our smoke the
next time we come out.” Bennie's “at
ease” assistant says they have jammed
a thorn under the saddle of the old boat,
and that she's going to be good for
much better time from now on.
Jules Elllngboe was out again in his
Frontenac and turned a few laps with
disc wheels. They make the job look
pretty snappy, but Jules has not yet de
cided whether or not he will use them.
Ralph Mnlford smiled his way to the
city yesterday afternoon and announced
himself ready to qnalify today. Louis
Chevrolet has had Ralph's eigbt-in-a-row
Frontenac ready for several lays.
Roacoe Sarles had his .--rscnberg out
again, but was content to travel at a
comfortable pace.
Albert Guyot was presented with the
Duesenberg that he is to drive, and lost
about three seconds in getting ready for
his initial spin. He opened up after a
few tame laps, and immediately went
down as one of the drivers deserving of
some little consideration. Guyot handles
his car nicely and seems to know the
track about as well as the next one.
Percr Ford, the noted amateur driver
from Chicago, came near meeting with a
serious accident yesterday when his left
rear wheel came off. Ford was tearing
down the back stretch at a good clip
and hit the turn wide open. He threw
the entire wheel which headed down the
track so fast he had to turn out to let
it by. The wheel ran on fully three
hundred yards farther before coming to
a stop. Ford retained his presence of
mind and his control of the Chicago-
Fronteuac he was driving, bringing it to
a stop, but not before the flying wheel
had hopped up and struck him on the
left elbow, rendering a nasty flesh
wound. Ford limped into the pits with
his axle dragging.
Butler Plays Best Ball
to Wallop State Normal
The Butler baseball nine played its
Lest game of the year yesterday at Ir
win field and won from State Normal
by a 3 to 0 count. Staton, on the hill
for Butler, pitched a good game and re
ceived airtight support from his team
mates. The Blue and White twirler set
the teachers down with four scattered
hits. Bliss, although pitching good ball,
was jerked in the eighth when Butler
players began to occupy the bases, and
Case finished the inning. Butler got but
five blows off the delivery of the Nor
mal pitchera.
Butler started things moving In the
second and shoved one run across the
rubber on a single and s.olen base by
Blessing and a single by iiungate. The
Bulldogs got their other two markers
In the eighth, when Middlesworth's dou
ble was followed by a couple of errors
and a hit batter. Normal had its best
chance to score in the seventh, getting
two men on and none out, but lacked
the necessary punch to shove over a run.
Butler also turned down a good chance
to get some runs in the fourth, loading
the sacks with one out. but the next
two men were easy out*. Station re
tired the side in the sixth on three
pitched balls.
Yesterday's game evens the count be
tween the two schools, the Teachers hav
ing won the game at Terre Haute by a
big score.
Bacharachs and A. B. C.s
Meet in ‘Rub’ Clash
With the series standing two and two
the Bacharach Giants of New York and
A. B. C.s, local colored champions,
Bwere to tangle in their wind-up game at
W Washington Park this afternoon. The
f Bacharachs made the series count even
by winning the Tuesday fracas. 8 te 7.
Poor work in the A. B. C. euTield gave
the visitors their openings and they were
quick to take advantage.
Ben Taylor hit the ball hard as' fur
ther evidence that he is going to enjoy
a big season with the bat. Kenyon hurled
yesterday's contast for the locals and
brobably would have won had he been
given better support. Johnson or Brown
was slated to pitch for the A. B. C.s
today. Woods, the outfielder loaned to
the Colombo* Bnoksyea, has been recalled
by C X Taylor.
Many of the pit hounds at the Speed
way are picking Eddie Hearne and his
Revere as the dark horse entry in the
500-mile race here next Monday. The
veteran pilot has been at the track going
through warming-up spins for a number
of days and the easy manner in which

GO OVER BIG.
CHICAGO. May 25.—Northwestern Uni
versity scored a double victory over the
University of Chicago yesterday.
The purple beat Chicago. 10 to 9, in an
eleven inning baseball game, and to
4SVs at track.
Bills pitched a great game for De Pauw
yesterday afternoon, bat bis support was
weak in the pinches, and Armour Tech
registered a 3 to 0 win over the Tigers.
Bills allowed the Chicago team only three
bits. De Pauw collected ten blows, but
failed to connect when hits meant runs.
Purdue was to cross bats with Wabash
College this afternoon at Crawfordsville.
Wagner or Wallace was to be on the
mound, with Hiser doing the receiving.
The Purdue team was out for revenge
on account of the defeat handed it by
Wabash earlier in the season.
On Saturday Purdue will hook up
with Wisconsin on Stuart field. The
visiting team took advantage of the poor
support given Wagner at Madison and
gave Purdue a trouncing. Coach Lam
bert is confident that his nine will turn
the tables on them this time.
The track team is working hard for
the State track meet neit Saturday at
Notre Dame. Coach O'Conner has the
men in first-class shape with the excep
tion of Miller, who has been bothered
with a bad arm all spring.

When Amateur Ring
Stars Battle Here
Several amateur boxing champions in
Indiana will defend their title at the
Indiana State Amateur Boxing Tourna
ment at the fair ground coliseum on Fri
day and Saturday evenings. Forty
three amateur boxers have entered for
the tournament and indications point to
additional entries before the tournament
opens. The Indianapolis Athletic Club is
staging the affair.
Among the champions are Vaughn and
Leslie Treber, of Marion. They are
brothers and Vaugbn bolds the Central
States championship in the light heavy
weight class, and his brother Leslie holds
the Indiana State championship in the
lightweight division. Both boys are fast
and are coming to the tournament to ho and
their titles for another year. Pitted
against these youngsters are some of the
cleverest boxers in the amateur ranks in
this State.
Danny McGowman, one of the trio of

forfeiting the hole.
The Iloylake man was visibly en
couraged at this and after halving the
second with the youthful American he
took the next two holes and held the
advantage of three up. At the fifth both
tank their putts for par fours. Graham
took a five on the sixth, but Jones was
still putting badly and lost the hole,
putting Graham four up.
Graham played stylish golf from this
point on, Jones being unable to settle
down against the flashy shots of the
Englishman through the fairways and on
the greens.
Joues took his defeat with the smile of
a good loser, and though continually
falling Graham, did not lose his ingenuity
for making spectacular shots. After pull

fence that it was impossible for him to
play the bail lu the rlgnt directiou, he
hit it against the fence and It bounded
back twenty yards into the fairway. The
easy victory of Graham was scored large

youth seemed unable to play the shortest
putts accurately and took three putts on
four consecutive holes starting with the
tenth.

The diamond athletes of Technical
High School registered their seventh vic
tory for the season over the Tipton nine
yesterday afternoon, the final count be
ing 9 to 1.
Tech gained but three hits, one a
homer by Nipper, but bases on balls,
stolen bases and errors, permitted them
to pile up a comfortable lead early in
the game. Tipton got five hits off
Ewing and Sylvester, but they were kept
scattered.
In the curtain-raiser, the Tech Sec
onds defeated the Bovs' Prep School,
10 to 0.
The Cathedral and Manual High School
were to meet at Riverside diamond No.
3 this afternoon in their first athletic
contest. Becker looked like the pitching
choice for Manual, but Coach A1 Feeney
was undecided as to who he would send
to the hill for the Cathedral. Martin
and Harmon both have been pitching
good ball and the Blue and Gold felt that
either had a good chance of stopping
the south sidere.
The Shortridge baseballers were to
journey to Sploeland this afternoon for
their second tilt of the season with the
Spieeland Academy. Powers, the new
Shortrldge hurler, was slated for mound
duty.

FOUR RUNS IN NINTH
KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 25.—Having
suffered two beatings at the hands of
the battling Hoosiers, the K. C. Blues
today were somewhat groggy and de
jected. However, they are by no means
wrecked and the Knabe athletes were
shouting threats today what
they were going to do to the Hendricks
machine in the third of the series thia
afternoon. The ability of the Indians
to come up from behind sort of disor
ganized the local outfit yesterday, and,
although willing to admit that Jack Hen-
Iricks is piloting a -eal-for-sure ball
club this season, the Blues felt the invad
ers could not make it three in a row in
the face of the weak pitching staff the
Tribesmen are carrying.
The conflict yesterday was won by th*
Indians. 9 to 6. when the Hendricksmen
staged a rally in the ninth that netted
four runs. The Tribe got away to a fly
ing start and were leading 5 to 1 when
the sizth inning arrived. In that frame,
however, the Hoosier pitching balloon
went up and before the fire was out the
Blues had scored five markers ana
grabbed the lead, 6 to 5. Bartlett waa
knocked out of the box and was relieved
by Weaver, who hurled until taken out
for a pinch hitter In the ninth. Gene
Morrison was the pinch hitter and he
delivered a hot single that started the
Indians on the way to victory. Stryker
then finished in the box for the Tribe and
put the Blues down in one, two, three
order.
Shinners and Sehreiber cracked ou*
home runs in the first inn’ug and these
clouts caused confidence to glow on the
Tribe bench. Sehreiber got two other
hits during the pastime and he led in
the hitting for the day.
Eddie Zwiliing, former Tribe outfielder,
was the Blues’ best sticker with a double
and a triple, but Eddie’s clouts couldn’t
save his new team in the face of the wild
ninth his old pals staged.
Local rooters have learned to fear the
Indians In the first two games of the
series and they will consider their team
fortunate if the remaining two games
can be kept from being annexed by the
visitors. Manager Hendricks was un
decided this morning regarding his pitch
ing selection for the afternoon. He said
if Jess Petty arrived in time he proba
bly would use him, otherwise Enxmann
or Stryker was to get the assignment.
Here's how the Indians captured the
game in the ninth yesterday: Morrison,
bntting for Weaver, singled to right.
Shinners sacrificed and was safe on
Pitcher Williams’ error, Williams was
slow in fielding the ball and when he
finally got his hand on it he made a wild
throw to first. It was a terrific wild
heave and Morrison was able to score
from first on it. Shinners went to sec
ond and was moved along by Baird's
sacrifice. Covington walked and Shin
ners scored a moment later when Butler
tried to head him off on Rehg's Infield
bounder. . insella popped for the sec
ond out, but Sehreiber came through
with a single, scoring Covington. Sick
ing followed with a hit. scoring Rehg
with the fourth run of the Inning. Hen
line was hit and Morrison, up for the
second time, fanned.
Catcher Henline received a split finger
in the ninth and may be out of the
game for a number of days.
