INDIANAPOLIS MAKING PRoVls.
ION FOR THOSE WHO WILL
ATTEND MEMORIAL
CAY RACES.

indianapolis, March 20.---Thirty-four
square miles of floor space in one hotel
is what visitors TO the second annual
0-mile International Sweepstakes
race will find when they come to the
indianapolis Motor Speedway next Me-
mortal day, May 30. This entire city
is being formed into a monster hostel
ry to care for the 100000 visitors ex
pected here TO Witness the worlds
greatest motor contest, and thousands
of the best private homes OF the Hoo
sier capital are being merged into one
great lodging house for the motorists
who will come from all parts of the
country.
The city government Of Indianapolis
will also work to give aid to the Wis.,
ting throngs Police will be assigned
as guides to show the visitors to their
apartments and scores Of messengers
will be engagcd in addition, To help IN
housing the cil's guests. a system
has been arranged at the Speedway 50
that every visitor who makes request
for reservation in advance will be adj
vised before he starts FOR Indianlpo-
lis just where he win be located.
Filing systems have proved efficient
in this part of the task and duplicated
cards are furnished to the Visitors and
the owners Of the homes in which
they VIII be accommodated. Full d.
rections for reaching their assigned
rooms are furnished at the same tine.
1t is believed this will relieve the con-
gestion which was attendant upon
handling the vast crowd last year.
In 1911 hundreds arrived at the last
minute and failed TO get the best ac-
commodations. so the task Of doing
away with this unpleasant feature has
been started three months before the
date of the race. These who are in
tending to witness the race should
communicate with some of the Indian.
apolis hotels or with the Speedway
Room bureau as soon as possible. SO
that they may have the best the city
offers.
The advance seat sale for the race
indicates that the crowd this year will
surpass that of last year The seating
capacity at the Speedway is more than
5000 and about 10000 seats have been
reserved already. There are IA entries
in for the race with tentative entries

in the major leagues today are far in
fcrior 20 the catchcrs Of 10, T. and l.
years ago" declares Jim Mcclure. a
decade ago there wasn't n major lea
que club but what had one-and most
OF them had two-good catchers
Catchers who today would be classed
as stars.
Il cannot give any reason why there
should not be more good catchers to-
DAY than then. There are more base
hall leagues; there are more baseball
players. Naturally then, there are
more catchers. But now a manager
considers himself fortunate If he has
one good catcher on his team Players
like Stanage. Bresnahan. Doom, Thorn
as and Meyers and very few others
are scarce and the probabilities are
they viii continue scarce for some
time.
Ten or Is years ago a manager did
not think of carrying three eatche1s
ON his staff. Today three is the least
number a successful club has But
though there are three. the fortunate
manager of today places his principal
dependence on one backstop.
THE fact that the second string
catcher of today does not get as much
work as the second string catcher OF
yesterday has nothing to. do with the
ability of the man. If the backstop is
a star he will not be second string
catcher. Two star catchers on the same
team would mean that the work could
be divided evenly
probably the dearth in catchers IL
Just one of those incidents that occur
i'm all lines of sport. There is usually
a time i'm all sports when there is a
shortage of athletes in certain classifi-
cations For instance, there is an alb
sence of good white heavyweight pu-
gilists today. SO It is with catchers."
