He was tue of the outstanding shortstops for nearly two decades. Peckiupaugh, who was familiarly known in baseball as Peck, was a Cleveland boy, and first started bis career with the American league club of that city. With the exception of playing for couple tf seasons in the Connecticut State and Pacific Coast leagues, where he was -farmed," he spent ail his playing days In the big leagues. He returned to Cleveland In 1912 and then went to the Yankees for several years and then to Washington in a trade In 1921.

TECH GOLFERS WIN The Tech High School golfers defeated Bloomington High School Friday at the Bloomington course, 10 to 2. Smith was low scorer for the east slder with a 74.

Other members of the "first ten" were: Phil Todt, St. Paul. Jack Kloza, Milwaukee, and Doc Gautreau, Kansts City, Babe Ganzel, Minneapolis, Radcliffe, Eddie Montague, Toledo, George Detore, Louisville, .364. and Pinky Hargrave, Minneapolis, .362. Jess Petty In Tie.

George Hockette. Kansas City righthander, and Jess Petty, the Miller's veteran southpaw, each scored a victory during the week to remain tied for pitching honors. Each had four straight triumphs. Phil Welnert, of Louisville, led the strikeout artists with twentyone. MiuneapolLV-teaui batting average drupped is points, but its mark of .312, was plenty good enough to dominate the field, Kansas City was second with and Louisville had .301.

St. Paul continued as the team fielding leader with JW17, a point higher than its mark a week ago, while Milwaukee completed twelve double-plays to take the ic'ad with a twenty-three Utah Bowling Scores Take Big Qualifications After his qualification la ovrr th last lap, coming back around to tha starting line, may be a slow as tht pilot cares to make It, he ran avt gasoline there. But for eleven lips he will have to use all he dares. Effect of the Rule. Just what this rule 1 going mean, no one knows exactly.

It if in line with the rule limiting the amount for the race to forty-five gallons. In fact, it allows the driver a leeway of approximately one mile to the gallon over the amount permitted for the race. But there Is a catch In it. Qualifl cations have usually been run at the top speed of the car, and top speed means heavy gasoline consumption. The smart lads in the race may not run at an average of more than 104 or 105 miles an hour, thus helping out their gasoline consumption, but that isnt real qualification speed.

The whole question with the drivers when they qualify will be: "How fast can I go in order to be one of the favored thirty-three to start the race, and still have enough gas in my tank to finish my qualification?" The answer is just like the answrf to the question of gasoline consumption in the racer No one knows defi nitely. No Change In Rule. But the rules are there, and even though the drivers have started to grumble about the amount of fuel allowed for qualification, there won be any change In them, according to the notice posted on the bulletin board at the speedway. The spectators who get out to the first day of qualification should see a good show, and there should plenty of cars to qualify. About twenty cars are In town right now.

with several more due by Monday. The Pacific coast contingent is lata, due to participation in the aeml-stock race at the Oakland mile speedway, last Sunday, but thea cars and drivers should register in the next two or three days. The Good Old Days. Speaking of fuel, the good old days for the drivers In the 500 seem to te gone to the limbo of forgotten things. Up until this year, Eddie Wintergust, representative for the Richfield Oil Company, furnished gasoline free to the drivers, both for practice and the race.

This year there is no free gasoline. In years past, too, castor oil hf been the one and only lubricant for the racing cars. Last year Louis Meyer won on mineral oil of the. Tide Water Oil Sales Corporation, and this year a certain percentage of the drivers will break away from the time-honored castor and go for mineral oil. To supply this need.

Pennzoll and Conoco have on the grounds talking their mineral product up to tne drivers. While the exact amount is not known. It is said that both these companies will offer substantial prizes for the top places In the race if won with their product. One rumor Is that there is S5.000 to be hung on the nose of the winning car; if it uses a certain grade of oil, with corresponding prizes down to third or fourth places. Some Will Take Castor.

Some of the drivers will cling to good old castor, however, even without a prize money inducement, but the mineral oil companies should have about half the cars using their product In the race. Other representatives much In evidence around the race course art those for American Bosch Magneto Company, Perfect Circle and Burd Piston Ring Company, Pyroll Company, Champion' Spark Plug Company, Cresco Oil Company, Gilmor Oil Company and the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, which this years, as in years past, supplies all the tires used on the cars. Louis Meyer's Car. Louis Meyer, 1933 winner and tnrk record holder at 104.1IM miles tn hour, will drive his own car this year. It Is a four-cylinder Job.

Bines Louis raced In the 600 last year he has won a 250-mile rosd rice in California and a 250-mlle evant on the Oakland mile speedway, both events for semi-stock cars. Meyer, along with Tom Milton, is a two-time winner of Indianapolit. Louis did It In 1928 and 1933, Tom 1931 and 1923. Starter May Be Disappointed. Roscoe Turner, world famous airplane speed merchant, who talked nonchalantly of 200 and 300 miles an hour, may be disappointed in the speed May 30.

He Is the official starter and he will wonder where they go And what a long time it takes them to come back, if he Judges land speed by air speed. Roscoe is a big man, so big, that the seat of Deacon Lltz's car, big as it Is, would be much too small for the air speed merchant. Duray Has a Two-Cycle, Too. Leon Duray, who entered a two-cycle sixteen-cylinder engine in ths 1931 race, but got no place with it. has the same car entered in the May 30 race this year.

The engine is being gone over at the Mers Engineering Company, under the direction of Duray and Lee Oldfield. tht latter of whom is generally conceded to know more about two-cycles than any one else. Duray's car will be remembered as the long black chassis which sounded like tearing canvas when it really got under way. Leon has faith In his baby and says hs will have remedied Its engine heating troubles that put it out in the 1331 race. Duray also has entered a four-cylinder.

Chamberlain Arrives. Ned Chamberlain, St. Petersburg, has drifted Into town to look for a steady or relief Job In the 500. He drove relief for Joe Huff In 1930 and for Al Gordon in 1932. He also drove a Chevrolet in the Elgin road race last August.

Wrestling fans were on their feet at Tomlinson hall, Friday night, protesting against the eye-gouging tactics of Jack Domar when then referee, unable to do anything about it gave the match to Duke Ruppeu-thal. The referee put a strangle hold on Domar in an attempt to stop his eye-gouging, all three going to the mat In a mixup that ended with the disqualification of Domar. Domar did not leave the ring until threats of Indignant spectators had been quieted.

Plenty of Action. The match between Pat Finnegan and Bobby Novak was full of action. The first fail went to Novak with an airplane spin and slam. The second and third falls were won by Finnegan, who used a double foot lock and a rebound from the ropes to pin his opponent. The preliminary match, between Ross Strassinger and Morris Webb was won by the latter.

a places in order behind the first day's qualifiers. A qualification trial consists of ten laps of the two-and-a-half-mile track. The drivers will be faced this year with a limit on the fuel to be used to qualify. Louis Schwitzer, chairman of the technical committee, has set the amount as three gallons. The Way It Will Be Done.

A driver may have any amount he chooses to warm up his car, but when he signifies that he is ready for a trial his car will be stopped at the starting line, drained of gaso line and three gallons put into the tank. He will start from the line, make just one circuit of the track and then be on his qualification or elimination trial. After the ten laps, he must go another lap to come back to the starting line. This rule means that every driver will have to travel a total of twelve laps, or thirty miles, on three gallons of gasoline. The first lap will take acceleration to get up to the speed he wishes when he starts his qualification, and it will take as much gas as any of his qualification laps.

The ten qualification laps will take the maximum of gasoline. PURDUE LOSES IN FIRST NIGHT MEET Illinois Tracksters Win, 69 2-3 to 56 1-3 Points Pope-joy Outstanding. CHAMPAIGN, 111., May 12.

Joe Hauser pumped out four more home runs in the last week and enough other hits to keep the American Association batting leadership, although his average dropped from .436 to .416.

The pacemaker of the Minneapolis attack not only headed the individual list, but left little in the way of batting honors for any one eLse, according: to averages which include Thursday's afternoon games. His homer total was seventeen in twenty games, he had batted in forty runs, scored thirty-two times, and had the mosst total bases, 83. In addition, he was tied with a teammate, Andy Cohen, and Bruce Connatser, of Kansas City, in hits, at thirty-two. Cooney Leads in Doubles. Radcliffe.

Karl Webb, of Milwaukee, ranged Flop Over Number of High Totals Almost? to Half of Those in 1932-33 Jess Pritchett Again Has Highest Average, Carrying 218 Other Figures of Season's Scoring. A review of bowling scoring for the present season, which, except for a few scattered leagues, has come to a close, as compared against that of last year, reveals that the current campaign fell far short of the 1932-33 level which at times reached record-blasting peaks.

The reason nobody knows but every one guesses. The most logical explanation seems to be the treatment given the alleys at the beginning of the season when a new machine was employed that planed the entire width of the alley bed at once. And yet if that be Uie case then there is still left to be explained why at times lofty totals did appear. The safest solution would be to put the year down as an offside season which is just one of the features of the game that make it so fascinating and almost force participants to come back for more. The 1933-34 season produced only ninety-eight totals of 700 as against 173 of last year and 148 the previous year.

Ed Striebeck held tops with 793, while last year there were two 800s. Leading the 700 Club was Don Johnson with ten. Next came John Blue, Jack Hunt and John Pehr, nine each; Jeas Pritchett, 'seven (he had seventeen last year) and Dan Abbott, four. Many others had two and three. Two Perfect Scores.

Two perfect scores in league play was tlie same as the 1932-33 record, the current 300s coming from Pehr in the City League and Striebeck in the Indianapolis. In addition Abbott had 299 hi the little flower; John Bently 297 in the Evangelical; Newt Werner 297 in the Washington and Hunt 295 in the Indianapolis. Team scoring likewise suffered a severe setback, there being only two sets above 3,300, both from Barbasol, Falls City, the only undefeated team in the Municipal League, will tangle with the Lux Laundry crew at Brookside, Diamond 1, Sunday. The Lux team has not won a game in three starts so far this season, but may surprise in Sunday's contest. i The laundrymen gave a good exhi-j bit ton of clouting last week when they I lost to the Cook's Goldblume club, Cook's rates as the heaviest hitting I club in the loop, but the young west aiders nearly matched them blow for blow until their pitching went bad late in the game, and they watched the beer outfit chase across seven runs on some heavy hitting and errors.

Falls City has played only two games so far, being forced to cancel I its second game of the season, which will be mtide up later with a double-i header. Battle at Garfield.
