'SPORTS Starting Lineup qualification, the speed dropping from Arnold's 116.080 down to Louie Meyer's 113 .522. This year out of twenty eight to qualify up to noon Wednesday, Russell Enowberger, Hupp Comet; Bryan Saulpaugh, Harry Miller Special; Ira Hall, Duesenberg Special, and Wilbur Shaw, Miller Special, all have exceeded 114 miles an hour. Ia the 1931 race there were twelve starters with a qualification average of less than 105 miles an hour. There were two with averages of less than 100 miles an hour. At that time the 100 mile qualification speed rule wss nci in xorce, Individually the pilots have raised their qualification speeds with the same Phil Shafer qualified his Shafer Eight last year at 105.103 miles an hour; this year at 110.708 miles an hour.

Joe Russo is driving the same George Henry car be drove last year. His qualification speed In 1931 was 104,823 miles an hour; this year it was 108.79L Jimmy Oleason Qualified thft Dllwnhro' tn ha rfrtmn by Ira Hall at 111.400 miles an hour; au loot is over ins jumps at 114206 miles an hour. The outs tan dine nerformanr tathat of Lou Moore, but it Is sot a fair comparison, since ixra has changed to a larger engine wis year. But in 1931 the lanky Callforriiari'B rmalifif tlon average was, 103.725 miles an uwr, a mm year was 1 11.363. Floating Fewer Special.

Bill White, owner of the car that won in 1927, and owner of the one that placed second in 1930, arrived at the track Tuesday and stated that his car, the Floating Power Special, with Ernie Triplett driving, will be on the bricks Wednesday or Thursday and should qualify before sundown ot inursaay, possiDiy Wednesday. Bill's rower ttlant a ton mM inch Miller four cylinder, identical in desien tO thS fitllbhleflelrl CiUmnrm Special. Both of these cars have sixteen valves. Bill makes no prediction as to the speed 1 at which the fair haired Triplett will get around in OUallflcatlon. Bill rines mt hiwnMi that he believe, the floating power principle wm perform creditably in the race in fact, that he has installed it because It will be a help.

4 Sun Hard at Week. Pilots that have qualified their cars are not sitting back in chairs of ease. Many of them will work, right up to a day: before the race finishing up their cars. Many of the drivers qualify their cars with a lower gear than they use In the race. They do this to get quicker acceleration cofrilng out of the turns In an effort to increase their tjualificatlon speed.

A car with a lower gear gets It engine speed up quicker and the engine turns higher than it does with a higher gear, a gear that is perfectly satisfactory for qualification, however, is no good for the race, since it would make it necessary to run the engine at a speed greater than the driver believes would be safe or necessary. I Thus gear changing and maybe experimenting is the order of the day for some, but whether it is necessary to change gears or not, practically every crew takes the entire car down after qualification and goes over tt carefully as It is reassembled. Rebuilding an ordinary automobile Is an event In the life of the owner. Taking a racing automobile down into Its thousand 'of component parts Is Just ordinary fare for the racing driver. He may do it three or four times in the course of preparation for the Indianapolis race.

The care with which the car is reassembled may spell 'money or no money when the race places are announced about o'clock on May SO. Race Announcing One of the great conveniences to the public In the conduct of the qualifications and during the race itself Is. the announcing system. It is the product of Holcomb ds Hoke, Indianapolis manufacturers. This is; the fourth year the speedway has had this system.

It is in charge of Frank Hoke, with Clay. Mogg as his assistant. There are thirty eight loud speakers placed about in all the stands, except the bleachers. One mike serves all of the speakers. The announcing system was designed and made especially for the speedway grounds, and conditions out there are being constantly studied to make it better.

Reception in the various stands Is good, the announcing being HEARD first in 1869 X. ivA r' rEESlDENT OARFIEID A GREAT SMOKER OF CIGARS INDIA LIGHTED DRIVERS SLOW IN COMPLETING TRIALS AT SPEEDWAY MUD HENS START FOUR CAME SERIES AT STADIUM U.

Forty cars are permitted to start, so that provided none of the cars already qualified are crowded but of their positions, there Is room for only twelve more.

Sentiment still Is! varied at the track as to whether toy of cars now qualified will be left out. Gus Schrader and Fred Frame crossed the bar Tuesday.

Gus fell a mile below the average of Bob McDonough. who qualified the Mllier F. W. which he will start in the race. Bob's time was 113.279.

which Cliff Durant was scheduled to drive in the race, at 113.858 miles an hour. The car arrived at the track only three days ago and while it had been out on the track once, it had not been driven at high speed. It was found necessary to take the engine down to correct a lack of oil pressure. Jean Marcenac, 1 ground mechanic on both the Frame car and the front drive Hartz Miller, Special that Billy Arnold will start lh the race, has been working day and night on the west coast gettlm? the Frame car in one piece. About half of It Is new, particularly the engine and the frame.

The transmission is from the old front drive Detroit Special which Cliff Durant has had garaged at the track for three years. Schrader'a car is powered with a type eight cylinder engine, while the Frame car has a conventional straight eight engine. It is not probfisle that there are still enough cats at the speedway that have a speed In excess of the 108.008 of Al Aspln and his Brady Nardl Special; the 108.791 of Joe Russo and bis Art Rose Special and the 108.896 of Tony Oulotta and his Studebaker Special, to crowd these out. The three named are the only ones that have fallen below 109 miles an hour' in Speeds louthe aggregate have increased considerably over the qualification period of last The top speed for the 1931 race was made by Billy Arnold in the same car he qualified this year. Last year the sceed was 116.080; this year it was 116.290.

Lou Moore in his rear driven Boyle Valve Special, however, this year raised last year's top qualification peed to 117.363, an increase ot more than a mile. Many Eiceed 114 M. P. H.

Heving went in as relief pitcher in the second inning, pitched a good game and contributed two singles and two doubles in his six times at the plate. The picture shows Heving being thrown out at the plate in the second Inning on a throw by Crawford to Rensa. free of the static that sometimes interferes with a public address system of this sort. Oldfield's New Teaeher. They say that an old dog can pot learn new tricks, also that the same applies to humans.

Not so with Barney Oldfleld, Idol of race fans who have a memory reaching back twenty years and more. Barney is managing the entry of the Four wheel xmve Truck Company. Tuesday morning, in garage, big Leon Duray was sit ting in the four wheeler when he tcld Barney that the accelerator pedal was not In the right position. Barney was Interested, so Leon explained that the pedal should be In the most comfortable position when wide 'open. Barney wanted to know what to do about running at half throttle.

Say." said Leon, there Is not a driver out here that doesnt have his engine wide open all of the time that he is not clear shut oft for a turn." Old Barney let that soak In for a minute and shook his head. "Well, we didn't drive that way and we had only half as much power as these Jobs," he said. The Bears Are Here. The Bear Manufacturing Company, which specializes in axle and frame aligning devices, has set up its outfit at the rear of the garage in closure. It is giving prompt and free service to the racing clan in lining up the frames and axles.

It reports that several cars, otherwise unable to qualify on account of poor alignment, have been put into shape and are In the list of those who have gone the necessary four fast laps.

TO3AGG rjQCD. VECD. AT INDIANS' FIELD IN PLAYER DEAL Douglas Taitt and Stuart Bol Lefthand Pitcher, Obtained in Trade.

BERLY SENT IN EXCHANGE The Indians today made one of their most important trades of th year when they sent John Berly, right hand pitcher, to the Philadelphia Nationals in exchange for John Taitt, outfielder, who has been playing with the Indians on trial for about three weeks, and Stuart Bolen, a left hand pitcher, who acted as a relief fllnger for the Phils last season. Taitt made good on his trial with the Indians and the Tribe bosses found themselves confronted with the proposition to close the deal or allow him to get away. Hitting at Great Speed. Taitt has played twelve games with the Indians and has been hitting at the phenomenal speed of .480. He has hit safely In all his games.

Manager McCann urged the deal for Taitt be closed before it was too late. Bolen is twenty eight years old and was a great star with the Baltimore Internationals in 1930, when he won nineteen games and lost five. The Phils bought him outright from Baltimore. It was stated Taitt and Bolen will be the outright property of the Indians, the same as the other players on the team. Big League Staff Bridgework: of the sound, lasting variety comes high, but the Yankees stand ready to purchase another 91,200 worth of dental engineering any time they can be assured another pitcher like the canny Casulllan, Vernon Gomes.

The slim southpaw, who blossomed into one of the game's neatest hurlers last season after the Yankee treasury had staked him to the ex pensive reinforcements, is paying Col. Jake Ruppert plenty of dividends. Gomes ave his latest brilliant exhibition yesterday when he struck out thirteen batters, a new record for the season, and allowed only three hits in beating the Athletics, to 1. But for Chapman's muff of Simmons' fly in the seventh, Gomez's seventh triumph of the year would have been a shutout. Babe Ruth's eleventh home run in the first Inning gave the league leaders an advantage they never relinquished.

South Carleton Mellott Is the Jafsie who represents South Bend. The West Lafayette golf team that finished third, fn the state high school championship last Saturday had a strange outlay of scores.

The dandelions have gone but the melody lingers on, a blanket of down and that's the way it gets the golfers, too. From the tongue of a Wagoner we hear plans are progressing acrumptiously for the annual district championship.

Facts later. There Is a golfing lady In these precincts who has her own system of scoring her own game of golf. If a tee shot is a bad tee shot she tees a second ball and whales away. If a mashle shot is badly shanked she drops another ban and plays it. She counts only the shots she likes and she refuses to compete with any one who refuses to allow her to use her own system of counting.

Frequently she wins but occasionally she loses.

Anyway, Roundy Is the fellow who interviewed Harding and when the President offered him a cigar he took six. Nothing definite has been determined about the amateur cham pionship of the state this year.
