INDIANS OPEN
EXTENDED STAY
IN HOME YARD
Tribe Battles Colonies in Five
Game Series at Wash
ingtOn Park.
WHITEHoUsE OBTAINED

Indians and Colonies went to 1t"
again at Washington park this afternoon
In the opening contest Of a fve-game Sc
ries, which includes the single battle this
afternoon and double-headers both Sun
day and Monday.
A last-minute deal negotiated by Vice
President Smith brings Pitcher George
Whitehouse to the Hoosiers from the
Millers and, as this Lefty" has been
showing good form, his presence at
Washington park no doubt will put more
solid foundation in the twirling corps.
Whitehouse learned the game on the
indianapolis lots and finally joins his
hometown team after number of years
in the minors and also time spent with
the Washington Americans and Federals.
The team is in good shape physically
despite the heavy loss Of games on the
long road trip just closed and If spirit
counts the HOosiers soon will be up in
the race.
The Indians are carded on the homo
lot until June "a. meeting every team
in the circuit at Washington park dur
ing the extended stay.
Loyal fans are sticking with the club
and there will be no lack of roofing in
the Louisville games.
Defeats soon will be forgotten by the
fans II the team can only hit winning
form, and Owner Smith and Manager
Hendricks are bending every effort
toward putting the club in the race.
The infeld is rated among the best in
the league, the catching staff is strong
and the outfield finally has come out
of batting slump and is showing signs
OF delivering up to standard.
The return of Duke Kelley has helped
because this year the fashy outfelder
apparently has picked up in his hitting,
and when Kelley is hitting there ara
few better all-rOund players in the
league
The game today was scheduled to start
at s o'clock and the doubleheaders Sun
day and Monday will get under way at
Q o'clock

OLDFIELD SEES
GREAT CHANCE
FOR DEPALMA
Believes Ralph Sure to Win if
His Car Holds Up-But
There Are IFS
SPEED NOT ONLY THING
BY BARNEY OLDFIELD,
Veteran Race Driver.

If mere speed could win the Interna-
tional Motor Sweepstakes, to be raced
here Monday, no guessing would be
needed to pick the victor. The honors
and the rich prize money would surely
go to Ralph DePalma and his eight
cylinder French Ballot.
But the race Is for 800 miles and en-
durance is a mighty element; luck IS
another tires are a third.
So large a part do these other ele-
ments play in deciding the winner that,
though DePalma seems to have more than
two miles an hour in speed on the swift
est OF the others, he can not be conceded
anything but an even chance when con,
sidered as a choice against the big ana
capable field.
FASTEST CAR
SELDOM WINS.
Furthermore. the fastest car has never
except in the case Of Goux in 1919
won the event. Also 1t Is memorable
that the race has never since 1911 been
won by anthing but four-cynnder ear.
For more than two weeks / nave
watched the cars in their practice work
have talked to the drivers about their
plans for the race.
know that DePalma has the whole
field to battle, and ] do not expect to
see him get much help from his team
mates on the Ballot team.
Everybody IS planning on some means
of beating Ralph, for they all know that
lie IS the man they have to beat TO
win.
DePalma himself knows the situation,
but IL doesn't seem 10 worry him bit
He puts his midget eight away after
each trial spin with a confident smile
which none Of the performances OF his
rivals can erase.
OTHER CARS
ARE IN RUNNING.
The other cars are getting better every
day as the time nears for the terrlnc test
Had several Of them been able 10 use the
same amount OF time and pains for
preparation they would be closer to De-
Palma in speed than they are today.
l can plainly see that Louis Cheyrolet
Monroes and Frontenacs Hre going 10 be
right up there. The Duesenbergs viii be
mighty dangerous and there viii he ht
least seven cars in the race with eight
cylinder engines manufactured by the

causes me to fear the foreign drivers this
year.
Should the Peugeots or GreEories play
an important part in the battle. II would
be almost q miracle Both Will do vel
to bring their cars to the starting line.
Experimental features have proven the
bugaboo Of both.
To-day. as I write. It's DePalma against
the field.

The famous Duesenberg sIxteen-cylin-

smashed all speed records recently at
Daytona, was to be driven In exhibition
laps this afternoon by the speed king.
No attempt was TO be made to make
any record breaking time, it is announced,
but that some mighty fast laps would be
shown. The DueSenberg speed car was
built for straightaway speed tests. While
nothing like that was promised. the rail-
birds and the other drivers who know
Milton, believed there was a strong pos
sibility OF new record for the lap estab-
Hshed at the speedway.
indianapolis people are watching the
performance Of the Duesenberg cars with
a dual interest. Not only are they
racing business, but the fact that the
Duesenberg factory is 70 be an Indian
apolis institution, and is now already
IN process Of development here, makes
Indianapolis citizens interested.
Four Of the greatest drivers in the
game viii send the Duesenbergs around
the track Monday. Those four are Ed

of the veteran campaigners Eddie O'DOn-
nell another one Of years experience;
Tommy Murphy. a precOclous youth who

and Tommy Milton, holder Of the title Of
Speed King.
IN addition to these the Revere car, to
be driven by Tom Rooney; the Meteor TO
be in the hands Of Willie Hauph. and
the Milford Special, to be driven by
Ralph Milford, are possible winners OF
