RAGING VETERANS
 . MAKE UP TEAM

Indianapolis, Ind, May 17-Eddte Hearne, one of Americas racing veterans who was a star when a ma jority of the present day generation of speed merchants were unknown, has joined forces with the Duesenberg team that will endeavor to repu1se Europes assault in the eighth inter- rational 50O-nile sweepstakes On the Indianapolis motor speedway, Mon day, May 31st-
 Countless hair raising exploits on dirt track and road have frightened the thatch on Eddie's dome almost to the vanishing point, yet in point of years he still is numbered among Americas younger drivers, having
 launched on his career when a mere stripling, under the highly appropriate and unconventional tital of Million
 aire Kid.'
 Eddie is neither a kid any longer
 nor a millionaire, though he is still reputed to be quite wealthy, having fallen heir to a large fortune some time ago. With his adolescence, the recklessness of hiss early years has all so vanished, and today there is no shrewder nor craftier pilot extent. In last years five-century, with a mount that was considerably slower than some of the imported creations in the fray. he outdrove and outgen- eraled the entire field with the excep- ton of Howard Wilcox, finishing in second position with a comfortable margin to spare.
 I No fireworks may be expected from
 Eddie in this years grind, but when l the contest draws to a close a glance at the leaders is more than likely to
 find him among their number. Driv- ing smoothly and consistently and l slipping his mount around the 21k
 mile saucer without apparent effort,
 Eddie always has himself well in hand, and when opportunity to forge to the front presents itself, he i; may be counted upon to cash in right there.

 '@The Cornell stroke was not. strong at it's inception, but became very powerful at right. angles to the fin ish. It was anybody's race two-thlrds of the course Then Cornell and Princeton, sprinting, found that Yale had nothing to follow them with Cornell never Afel1 below thirty-four strokes.

NEW BOXING RULES
 FOR OLYMPIC BOUTS

England and France, the doninat- Union, have also organized what is known as the International Amateur Boxing Federation, and have assum- ed full powers in the adoption of. conditions for the government Of the boxing competitions at the Olympic games. The Belgian Olympic committee had arranged rules for the boxing championships, but when the federation recently met in London the Belgian rules were thrown into the waste basket and the rules of the federation declared to be in force. J. H. Douglas, chairman of the fedora ton, said:
 we have agreed upon our rules. and all that we need now do is to send a copy of them to the Belgian committee and inform them that tho boxing must take place under them. That will get rid of all the contro- versy.'
 Under the weight rules of the fed eration the American competitors
 may be inconvenienced, as the scale varies, materially from the A. A. U. weights. The federation weights are al scale, namely: Fly, 112; bantam, 11S; leather, 126; light, 1855; welter, 147; middle, 160, and light heavy, | 1T5.

KRAMER DEFEATS
 ALFRED C0ULLET'
Losing Rider Wins Second Heat by Pocketing Oppo-
 nent in Mile Race.

Newark, N J.. May IT = Frank
 Kramer defeated Alfred Gou1let in two
 out of three hard fought heats of a
 mile match race at the Velodrome
 here yesterday afternoon before a
 huge crowd Kramer beat Gouliet
 last Sunday, but the blond haired
 rider said he was sick, and asked for
 another chance at t'Big Steve" He
 did a bit better yesterday afternoon by getting one heat, but will have to acuqire a great deal more speed be fore he can hope to beat Kramer.
 Kramer rode the first heat from the | rear, and tore around Gou1let in the last turn. beating him down the home stretch and looking back as he cross ed the finish line. Goullett won the second heat due l to trickery- and not speed. Going 1 into the last lap Goullet overlapped l Kramer's front wheel with his rear | one, and in this manner held Kramer | in a pocket. He could not go ahead, !, 1 as Goullet would cut down on him, 1 and he chose the only other alterna- 1 tive, and that was to back out and l try to ride around his rival. When 1 Kramer backed up Goullet jumped with all the speed at his command,
 and picked up lead which Kramer i could not overcome. A Goul1et tried to do the same thing l in the third heat, but Kramer had l too much speed for him, and once 1 more rode around and won. A

Grimes Triple Tn
 Ninth Wins Game
Americans Turn Back Worcester, to 2 When Visitors
 Have Contest All But Sewed Up

Roy Crimes triple in the ninth with two on bases, won the game for Bridgeport, , to 3, over Worcester, yesterday, at Newfield park, and the 4,400 bowling fans went home hap py. The Americans were unable to fathom the offerings of Pitcher Keif- CT of the visitors, going through eight frames without the semblance of a tally.
 The ninth round, however, brought rally. Orr opened by flying out but Bracket was walked and Ray Grimes followed with another free pass. Skif singled to center and Bracket scored. It was at this point that Roy Grimes stepped into the limelight and taking hold of one planted the ball into the crowd for three bases as ground rules were in effect This hit cleared up the sacks and gave Bridgeport the victory that they had been working for all after noon.
 It was one of the snappiest games of ball ever staged at the park as both teams were on their toes all the way looking for. an opportunity to show the other up- Brilliant bits of fielding helped to iven the battle at various times as either team attempt ed to stage rallies
 Hank Bfackett made a great run ming catch of Murrays drive to left center in the first inning and then in the seventh added to his glory by cutting Tyler down at the plate on MurrayS safe blow to left. Ray Grimes made two beautiful plays at first at critical stages of the game and Green, the visiting third base man, dashed way over to the bleachers behind third base to grap Orr's foul fly in the sixth.
 Shorty Emerick made four great bids for hits and was counted out on each occasion In, the first inning he drove a liner over Keifer's head Just as it had apparently got safely by, Keifer made stab with his bare hand; partially. stopped it, and -Mur- ray grabbed it up in time to make the play at first. In the third inn ing Bosse made long running catch of Emerick's low liner toward left Murray knocked down Shortys nex, two offerings, one toward second base in the sixth and the other ir deep short, almost behind third, ir the eighth.

PITCHER JUMPS OUT
 OF ORGANIZED BALL.

Pitcher Pion, who joined the Amer jeans one day last week, has jumped the club and Manager Walsh doesn't know where nor does he care where he has gone. Pion, according to the manager, was something of an exper- iment anyway. Manager Walsh has a new pitcher, Frank KelIeher, by name and according to Ed. he is the goods. 5 The game this afternoon at New field park between the Americans and New Haven is for the leadership in the Eastern League. Only one game separates the two taA'ns for the top most place in the standing and one Or the other will be forced to bow to the other today. Both teams have been sailing along. Early predictions were that Marty Walsh would be the pitcher today.

Baseball attendance records in New I ork were smashed yesterday after noon at the Polo grounds where 3S. 600 people crowded into. the field to see the game between the Yankees and Clevela In one game of the worlds ser1es of 1911. the count was s. aS1 and this stood as the high water mlark for nearly ten years. &
 Back in the early autumn days of 1908 a great crowd of baseball fans stormed the old Polo Grounds to see the Giants and the Cubs in the game which meant a pennant. Three years later another wild throng crowded and damned it's way into the new Brush Stadium until g, ,2S1 had been accounted for officially, Iby the Ma donad Commission representatives in charge of the 1911 worlds series.

 stands were sold out and the gates closed at 2:30 o'clock. Twenty min utes before game time the parade of disappointed was in motion westward over the hials behind the Speedway. 1 Other thousands went back from the

PRINCETON VICTORIES
 INDICATES METHODS

Expressing himself as more than pleased at the excellent showing made yesterday afternoon on Lake Carnegie by all three of the Tiger eights when they thrice crossed the finish line ahead of Yale shells, and offering his heartiest congratulations to Cornell in winning both the varsity and freshmen events, pr. Duncan Spaeth, coach of the Tiger crews, made the statement that Saturday g regatta was vindication of the American ideas of stroke and rigging as opposed to the English methods.
 According to Dr. Spaeth, both the winning Red and White oarsmen and the Tigers represented theN American style, with its emphasis on length of slide, leg drive and reduced body swing. while the trailing Ellis were thoroughly schoole9 in the English methods by Guy Nichols. the Blue mentor.

Before the Worlds Series last fall Dick Kerr was just "a member of the
 White Sox pitching staff" Cicotte was one of balloons most radiant stars. Claude Williams, Gleason's second ace, was expected to trim, the Reds as was the shine balP exponent.
 After the smoke of this classic series
 had rolled away Cicotte and Williams
 were found in the twisted wreckage Of
 Soxan hopes. Dick Kerr, the unher-
 aided, stood out. even in his clubs
 chagrin of defeat, as one of the real
 heroes of the series.
 Kerr became hero and will doubt less continue as such because of two
 things They are his consummate
 mastery of the boxman's requirem ents
 and his unf1agging courage. Kerr
 dem monstrated he had the "baffle
 stuff'' when he let the Reds down with
 three hits in his first encounter with
 Moran's clan. He proved himself one of the gamest in the box in that sixth game of the series at Cincinnati. At one time the count stood 40 against
 Kerr. The diminutive Soxan twirler, although not generally known, was further handicapped by a sore hand, injured early in the game when he l stopped a line drive bare-handed. I1lL1SS CeIld1uIy looheI dI GU io1 DiS>
 Kerr. Then Reuther "blew up'' and
 Kerr pulled himself together and checked the Reds. Ring, who re- lieved Reuther. failed to silence the Soxan bats and Kerr registered his second win over the coming worlds champions. Kerr's name is made for i this season and batsmen face him re- spectfully now, surcharged with the knowledge that they have to oufwlt man who was reliable enough to win i two games in a worlds series.

 Kerr is one of the shortest pitchers 1 the diamond has ever produced but i he always takes exception to being re- ferred to as such. He promptly points 1 to the fact that Cicotte is but i've feet i seven. Kerr himself is 5 foot inches 1 high and weighs 15U pounds.
