When young Lon Wameke set the New York Giants down Tuesday, the leaders scored their fourth straight vlct 0 over eastern clubs and thlr teen engagements. Unless Roffers Hornsbys team la slowed down soon, it will pile up such an advantage It will be able to coast through to the flag.

The Shortrldge tennis team, undefeated in iU first three meets this season, win meet Tech Friday after noon at tne Hawthorne courts In a city series match. The Blue DevOs travel to Culver Saturday to slay the cadets. The Shortrldge netmen won two meets in Terre Haute last week end without losing a single set. The Blue scored shutout victories over Wiley High School and the Indiana State Normal freshmen. They defeated Huntington In their opening meet ef the season.

lr W. F. ataraal Racing drivers have a different speed gauge than the ordinary driver. Ask one of them how fast be is getting around and he win tell you 1:28.6 or 1:27.4 or maybe 1:18 J. He talks little about miles an hour him self, thoush be may ask bis timer: What is that In I If a member of a team goes out for a spin to decide something about car buretion.

for Instance, he is not told to run 100 miles an hour. He is told to lap it at 1:30. He may be told to "keep it at about 2,400." Meaning to keep his engine revolutions at that ngure a minute. If one wishes to realize Just what a difference a few seconds make, a Stance at a tuning chart win tell him. lap at 1:28.6 is a lap at 104 miles an hour.

A lap at 1:27.4, less than a second slower, is a lap at 103. If a driver were told that his average for the entire race, itny one pit stop, must be 1:30 (an even 100 miles an hour) and he should lose a second to the lap of a second to make the figures exact his average wouia do ninety nine miles an hour. Loss ef Second Is Costly. At the finish of the race be would be Just five miles behind the chap who had averaged an even 100. Five minutes slower than the winner last year would have put him in third Elace.

That second's slowness, transited Into dollars and cents, could mean the difference between S35.000 to $50,000 and about $8,000. Thirty thousand dollars is rather an ex pensive bit to pay for a second's slowness on the lap, but it has been paid. To Illustrate further: Louis Schneider's Bowes Seal Fast finished the race in 5:10:27.83. Fred Frame. In his Hartz Duesenberg, came In ta rust 43.19 seconds behind.

Schneider made one pit stop, for gas. water ana. one rear tire. Had he had to change several tires, had his pit crew been a bit alow. or had he.

through some other fault, had to stop more than once at the pits, he could have lost the race. But none of these things happened and he won. Granting that Schneider would not have driven faster. If Frame had been run ning right behind him, a few seconds might have made a difference of $16,000 to Frame, if he could have shortened the gap between his car and Schneider's. Races have been won and lost at pit.

who will perform be hind the wheel of a Studebaker Spe cial, is athlete enough to make it. Eleven months out of tne year. Pete is one of the firm of Krels Ss contractors, ot St. Louis, Mo. The company is Pete and his brother, and father.

The firm specializes In railroad and levee construction west of the Mississippi. Pete works in the field and leaves tne oxiice won to others. He made his first real splash at Indianapolis by not driving at all in 1928. This was the year he came to the track with a brand new Miller rear drive, became ill and was refused permission by the doctors to drive In the race. Frank Lockhart, a beardless youth from the west coast, later to become probably the greatest racing driver ever to don goggles and gloves, drove for Kreis and won the race.

Pete drove in 1927 and 1928. but did not finish. He drove a Detroit front drive in 1929 and also failed to finish. Previously to 1929 race he campaigned his own front wheel drive on the board tracks and did very wen with it. This vear he exnecta to so places with a Studebaker.

Regardless of the outcome, Pete will pack up and go back to the contracting business tor another eleven months. While he does not disdain the money that comes to the winner or placer In the race. Pete is In it primarily because he likes it as a sport. He would have no difficulty whatever In connecting up with his regular three meals a day even if he never won a cent at racing. Pete Is In the sunny thirties and hot married.

He Is the best dressed driver in the business. He plays both Scotch American and African golf. At the latter he Is exceptionally clever, and some of the boys say that that southern drawl of his makes the dominoes stop rolling Just where Pete wants them to. One Man's Idea of IU "I may be all wrong, and stop me if I am," a race fan said the other day. We didn't stop him, regardless of our own personal opinion, and here is the rest 'Of his story: "I have studied this race for some time, and I really wonder whether the customers want to see near stock cars, or whether they prefer to see highly specialized racing cars do their stuff for 500 miles.

I know I prefer highly specialized racing cars. To me they are a thrill. I like to listen to them growl and whine as the boys pour the coal Into them. There is a lot of music in their song as they come tearing down the front stretch and into the turn. They look like racing cars; they sound like racing cars, and they are racing cars.

They make plenty of noise about their business. "Now, take these near stock cars. They do the thing too easily. They dont make enough noise, for one thing. never bear them growl and whine like a lion over a piece of fresh sebra.

think when a race audience gets seated it wants to see the thoroughbred type of car the car that is made for racing and nothing else. It always strikes me that the near stock cars are no more interesting than the Kentucky Derby would be If ordinary horses and mules were to run in it. When the folk come to a race they want to see something special they dont want to see cars that are said to be practical mechanical duplicates of the ones they drive every day." The speaker is entitled to bis opinion, but It would be Interesting to know just how many spectators hold the opposite view; how many of them have grown weary of the highly spe Seconds Valuableln FRANKLIN WINS OVER HANOVER IN 10 INNINGS FRANKLIN.

We Imagine that a great many spectators at the race on May 30, will be there and enjoy seeing just what sort of show will be staged by the near stock Studebakers, the Hupp, the the Bulck, the Graham Paige and the Oakland and whatever others there may be, either out In the open or under the rose. It Is reasonable to suppose that when one of these oars makes a good showing every driver of that particular, make of car win be more or less Interested. Yes, and many drivers of other makes of cars. At least the factories hope so.

Not California Weather, Bat Indiana sometimes falls lncreetlng the California race drivers with the weather the California publicity man broadcasts, but there are some com pensations. Where In California could a race driver mare from $1,000 to $50,000 for a five hour ride around 3,200,000 bricks? Eyes Front for Wilbur Shaw. Wilbur Shaw, Indianapolis racing driver, is being watched with eagerness by his friends here. Shaw will have the wheel ot a Miller built rear drive which Ralph Key burn drove into third place last year. Shaw has had enough experience to do something In the 500.

Away back in 1927 he finished the Jinx Special in fourth place. He drove relief for Ray Keechln 1928. He drove an Empire State In 1930. This year he has a good car. and he comes from the west coast with the confidence that several victories out there should give him.

Day Spent In Taking Pictures. Most of Tuesday was spent with the movie people taking pictures, with the Studebaker Specials the chief actors. Speaking of Speed! Sir Malcolm Campbell covered a mile at Daytona Beach, February 24 at 253.96 miles an hour. If his car could negotiate the Indianapolis track, which it can not, and If he could drive it wide open for the five hours and ten minutes it took Louis Schneider to drive S00 miles last year, the little Englishman would cover 1,300 miles In that time I Brooklyn Is Angling for Card Star Price $1 50,000 JIM BOTTOMLET. ST.

LOUIS. May 11 (XP.) The Brooklyn Dodgers have their eyes on Sunny Jim Bottomley, genial first baseman for the St. Louis Cardinals. Max Carey, manager of the Brooklyn club, admitted that trade talk was going on between him and Cardinals officials while the Dodgers are here for a series, and made It known that the chief stumbling block to a deal was the high price put on Bottomley by the Cards. Carey did not mention the price, but Branch Rickey, vice president of the Cardinals, is reported to have asked $150, 000 for the man whose batting average last year was .348.

Carey said William Clark, southpaw pitcher, was one of the Brooklyn players sought by the Cards. SHUTOUT VICTORIES ARE NUMEROUS IN BIG LOOPS NEW YORK, May 11 (UJ.) Major league hurlers have chalked up nearly twice as many shutouts as were recorded at this time last year, twenty against fourteen on May 11 of 1931. This tight pitching is divided evenly between the two leagues as the National and American each have thirteen shutouts to their credit. The Washington Senators and St. Louis Browns are tied for blanking honors with four each, giving them the lead for both leagues.

Detroit has two and Boston's Red Sox, the xankees and Athletics one each. In the National League, honors are spread out more evenly. Two each have been recorded by Cincinnati. Brooklyn, the Phillies. Pittsburgh and tne caroinajs, wmie the Giants, Braves and Cubs have one each.
