Stage Is Set
 For Running
 800 Mile Race
By HOMER c. GEORGE

Indianapolis, May 30.-(Special) )-Every- thing is set for the running of the Inter- national Motor Sweepstakes at 800 miles tomorrow. Beautiful weather today and the prediction is for equally beautiful weather tomorrow.
 Prediction is for the greatest crowd ever seen at an American sporting event. certainly more than 100000 persons.
 Various causes have cut the field of starters to twenty-four. But these rep resent the pick of America and France and when the veteran Barney Oldfeld leads the field around the two and half mile brick course, struggle which is epic will begin. For this year the. race
 Is for baby cars, with motors no laryer than Ford yet capable of 100 hiies an hour, and right now l want to make the prediction that the average for the distance will break the record of 89.64, made in 1915 by the much larger Mer- cedes.
 have been talking little but race since getting here. for that is the sole topic of conversation I have talked with vet eran drivers, young drivers, men who have never missed a race here and others who have spent much time at the train
 ing camps, and this breaking of the rec ord seems the universal opinion. First there will be less mechanical trouble, anu StCOliu, lcWci StoPa Aoi eAA SS e-iA>, equipment. Again, the field will be smaller, and prize of s100 for the win ner of each lap will cause all to press bit The one outstanding single car and driver is Ralph DePalma in the French made Ballot. Ralph is about two miles an hour faster than any driver in the race, and he ought to win. But five times DePalma has had the fastest car here only to win one time. 1t ought to be his race this year.
 He will have to break down or have lot of trouble not to--win. Aside from him, I like dark horses, such as Joe Boyer in a Frontenac Eddie Hearne in a

New York. May sO.-Chicagos upward climb to first place in the National League after lowering around last po- sition in the early weekssof the season, is the outstanding feature of the major league pennant races to date. The CUBS won their eighth straight game today.
 Cleveland still retains the lead in the American League, despite falling off from the fast pace of the previous week. The New York Americans, who won seven games out of eight last week, mainly through Babe Ruth's terrsuc batting, have advanced to third place, behind Boston. Washington went into fourth place today by winning it's sixln straight game, while Chicago was losing to Cleveland.
 The steady pitching of Alexander, who has won ten straight games, and Vaughn, with straight victories. promises to aid the Chicago Nationals in warding off at tacks on it's leadership. Cincinnati was the only other National League team able to maintain better than a .50o pace last week. winning four out of seven. The worlds champions batted hard, but their pitchers were ineffective in many contests.

Smith Offers To- Prove Innocence Of Charges Made
By HENRY LOESCH Sporting Editor Arkansas Gazette

Little Rock, Ark, May S0.-(Special9 An offer to President Martin to prove that he is innocent of any conduct that would justify his being barred from the Southern League or any other league was made here today by Casey Smith, Little Rock pitcher. who yesterday was declared by President Martin to be ineligible to play in the Southern. The offer was made through attorneys for the Little Rock club and for Smith
 Tn an affidavit sworn to by Smith here today he positively denies hav
 ing gambled on ball games or having been connected with gambling on ball games.
 Smith and Manager Elberfe1d will go to Memphis Tuesday to appeal to President Martin to reconsider his ac- tion in barring Smith and to give the player a hearing and chance to prove his innocence.
 President R. G. Allen of the Little Rock club today made statement in which he declared that he is con vinced of the innocence of Smith. T want it made clear that I have signed 'Smith after I was convinced that he is innocent of any offense against base ball I certainly would not want a man on my club whom I could not trust to give me his best efforts.
 It appears to me that the other men of this league who are fighting Smith are not sincere and that in- stead of fighting him they are fighting me in my efforts to build up strong club for Little Rock. The interest that rival club owners and managers are taking in this case is absurd on thf face of it, for if Smith was the sort of player who would connive with the gamblers it would be my interests that would be hurt. while the inter ests of the other seven clubs would be benefited. If Smith could be induced to throw games that would damage the Little Rock chances to win and would remove my club from the pen nant race.
 q have examined Smith and my at torne~, have questioned him and have been impres~d with his state ments and am convinced that he has been done one injustice and is threat ened with another"

Dusenberb; Jimmy Murphy in a Dusen- berg. or Roscoe Sarles in one of the Chevrolet built cars.
 The race is divided into number of classes with DePalma the fastest. The Chevrolet Seven Frontenacs and Mon roes and two other Ballots come next. two miles an hour slower. Then comes the Dusenbergs and Peugots. two miles an hour still slower. The others do not seem to have any chance at all though the Grigoires may be dark horses. They have shown mighty little, however. and are too new and untried.
 Louis Chevrolet, who has the car near est to DePalma in speed, is suffering from lumbago, and may be forced out of the race early. The French are tenn peramental and must be in front to hold their enthusiasm, and they are not fast enough for the first time in history
 It looks like an American victory, possibly driver and car, but certainty driver.

at a consistent pace for several weeks. They dropped five games and took only one last week. playing in Memphis and Little Rock.
 Nashville in it's home park won three and lost four contests in games with Mobile and New Orleans.
 Chattanoogas home stay did the team but little good, for only two games came their way to four defeats. The Lookouts entertained New Orleans and Mobile.
 A glance at figures compiled from the box scores of the seven consecutive vic- tories of the Memphis club shows that the players deserved to win. In only two of the games was the Chicks attack strong enough to drive the opposing pitchers from the box, but in the seven games they piled 2S runs and 62 hits and made 9 errors to runs 43 hits and 20 errors for their opponents. In none of the games was it necessary for a Mem- phis pitcher to be relieved. Goodbred, Albris and Thweatt each won two games while Vance won the only one he pitched Timely hitting against good pitching marked most of the Memphis victories. Good pitching aided Little Rocks rise and the teams heavy hitters, particularly Catcher Brottem, were great factors. The New Orleans Club also had good work in the box and one of it's vc- tories was due to home-run by pitcher Torkelson.
