6QC WHICH grove IN the mOCOT uSIUy
at Indianapolis Monday will be en-
tered in the 50O-mile race June 10,
which is to inaugurate long-distance
track racing in Chicago.
Ralph De Palma will have the Mer-
cedes which finished first at the
Hoosier speedway thoroughly over
hauled and will attempt to repeat his
record-breaking performance. The
three Stutz cars which finished in the
first seven, piloted by the men who
drove them at Indianapolis, will also
be feature of the days sport.
HoWdy Wilcox, who drove the
greater part of the race with two
cylinders, is already working over his
machine to prime it for the local race.
Wilcox made the fastest qualifying
time of any driver at Indianapolis.
The first brush over the new Des-
PLANES river track will be held June
IL, which twenty noted drivers will
compete in short race, the proceeds
to go to charity after the expenses
of the riders are deducted.

After today's game with Detroit
the White Sox climb aboard a train
for Boston, where they open the at
tack on eastern clubs of the Amer
lean league. And the Sox will start
in first place, which position they
seem capable of holding.
Right now RoWland's men are
playing bang-up baseball in batting,
fielding and pitching. There is room
for some improvement in baserun-
ming by few members of the team,
notably Weaver. Buck is frequently
trapped between the sacks and then
objects to the decision. It was for
such an episode that he was canned
Monday and handed a three-day sus-
pension. He will be eligible when the
team reaches Boston and the align
ment will be intact for the opener.
Just how much a willy, resourcefuI
baserunner helps the batters follow
ing him in the lineup was aptly illus
trated yesterday in the case of the
Collins boy-Eddie and John. Eddie
bats third for the Sox and Collins
places fifth, following Fourier.
Eddie opened the fourth with a
shot that hit third base, caroning far
enough to let him reach second. Then
he proceeded to cavort up and down
the base line, having George Dauss
continually worried. Bush, at short,
was also put on edge by the antics
of Eddie. Just as Dauss started to
pitch Eddie made a false start for
third base. Bush scooJed to second
to take a snap throw from his catch
er. And that was just the play the

Kindly do not deduce from these SMILES,
gentle reader, that the inspectors are Zero

the contrary is the fact They were suaVely
courteous. They talked in low voices, with
smiles and chuclles; they were perfectly
agreeable and entertaining.

Faurot quietly. This is still the centre OF

crooks, and the vice-gambling squad that Is
under the personal charge OF the Cominis-
