LOWELL SCORES sHUT-OUT
VICTORY


Lowell scored their frst shut-out
victory of tho season last Sunday
when they defeated the Veterans
of Foreign Wars team to 0.
1t was a pitchers duel all the
way. Lowell's hits produced runs
as three of their four hits drove
the four runs across the pan. The
visitors got three hits in the game
but never two In an inning.
Minninger, the Lowell ace. was
a hne pitcher all the way. He had
almost perfect control, issuing on
ly one pass, allowing three hits. and
striking out eight. Zolla pitched a
very good game for the visitors. al
lowing only four hits. two walks
and striking cut ten.
Kroupa, Lowell's star backstop
of last year. was behind tho bat for
the first time this season. He put
pep in the old gang and caught a
whale OF a game.
A hit batsman. sacrifice, an err
ror and a double was good for two
ands an error was good for another
run in the third; an dan error and
hit scored the last one in the
eighth.
Something unusual happened in
the first inning. Minninger pitched
three balls and retired the side.
Every one was a hot grounder to
short and the runner was thrown
out at first, piper to Alyea on each
occasion.
Lowell plays the st. viators team
again next Sunday. They defeated
the Lowell team earlier in the sea-
son before Lowell had their present
lineup. The boys are out for re-
venge. The same VIII be called at
$50.

Tor. After that, Cole frightened up
and they never had a chance to
score. Tho North Siders came right
back in their half of the frst and
scored three runs on an error. a
walk and two doubles. This score
was large enough for the North
Siders. but they kept up their good
wor kand scored one In the ffth,
and six more in the eighth. AL the

SPEEDWAY DEMONS HAVE
LAST WEEK Of PRACTICE

cago and acquired a Stutz speedster
Of the vintage of 1916. 1t is this
car he Is using to re-familiarize
himself with the brick course and
TO harden himself for the long drive.
Every morning, starting at o'clock
he goes out and rolls around the
track for 200 miles, at not to exceed
60 miles an hour. The other drivers
smile as they pass Cliff Durant, for
his mount looks like the race cars
of a decade ago, due to its height
when compared to the race cars OF
today. and its comparatively long
wheel base.
Every one of the cars entered will
be at the track by Wednesday aft
ernoon and the majority ready for
try qualifying Thursday after
noon. Every car must show an
average OF so miles an hour or more
to start. The fastest car gets the

In an exciting game that was
anybody's Until the last man was

Crowns through powerful rallies in
the seventh and eighth innings.
The Owl team started out with a
bang in tho first inning and when
the dust had finally settled. Ave
runs had crossed the plate in their
favor. This finished Christie, who
started for the Red Crowns. Con-
nelly succeeded Christie and al
though his hurting was a little more
effective. the Owls succeeded in

But in the sixth things started to
look brighter for the Red Crowns

at sail in the eighth inning. and
by a final rally produced the win
ming run in the ninth. making the
score to in favor of the locals.
Dust took UP the hurting end for
the Red Crowns In the fifth inning
and by some snappy support held
the Chicago invaders to one hit in
the last four innings.
Another important factor IN the

ESPECIAL 10 HE TIMEsl

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May "a
The final week OF practice for the
tenth annual 5oo-mile international
sweepstakes race. on the Indian
apolis Motor Speedway. Memorial
Day. finds all the drivers trying to
get the last ounce of speed developed
for the qualification trials on Thurs
day. May %. This will be the first
day for trials to determine the or
order in which the cars will line up
for the start OF the worlds greatest
speed classic.
The majority of the drivers have
not opened up their mounts for the
benefit Of the fans who throng the
track every afternoon, but in the
early hours OF the morning those
who are out step on it, and reel
off fast laps. Howard Wilcox, at
the wheel of a French Peugeot, the
winner OF the 1919 race with a car
of the same make, has been hitting
100 miles an hour and better in sun
rise practice spins Jules Goux, the
Partisan, winner IN 1913, has been
eOOtAh6 AIS III dEOuHQ at
the same rate before the rail birds
arrive. However when the fans
are out the drivers seldom exceed
90 TO 9S miles an hour.
The Frontenac half dozen has not
shown its real speed. as the pro-
teges OF Chevrolet seem to have
been instructed to take 1t easy in
practice and not disclose the posi-
bilities OF their mounts, but all have
been able to do laps at 95 miles an
hour.
In the Duesenberg camp the driv-
ers also have taken dt very deliber-
ately, although Ralph DePalma. in
a late spin Sunday evening almost
hit the 100-mile mark with his new
cream colored Duesenberg eight.
One of the drivers who has not
shown any speed is r. Clifford Du-
rant, the Oakland. Calf, million
aire. Durant has not driven for two
years and is merely conditioning
himself for the long grind. He will
drive an eight cylinder Durant Spe-

TUBERCULOSIS SCHOOLS FOR U,
S. PUBLIC HEALTH
SERVICE PHYSICIANS

The tuberculosis schools for medi-
cal officers in soldier hospitals and
examining stations which were estab
lished some IS months ago by the U.
S. Public Health Service and were
recently taken over by the Veterans
Bureau have trained several hundred
service physicians, four fifths OF
whom have qualified in making spe--
cial examinations of the chest and
in reporting there on with accuracy
satisfactory to the somewhat exact
ing requirements of the Rating
Board of the Veterans Bureau. This
has lessened the expense for travel
and the Inconvenience and hazard to
tuberculous veterans in going long
distances to chest specialists and
has more than balanced the cost of
the schooling.
The schools were established in
the spring of 1920 in various parts of
the United States. Courses of in
struction were arranged and the stu
dents were chosen from among the
medical officers and specialists in
the service of the United States
Health Service. In the Eighth Dis
trict alone, which comprises the
States Of Illinois, Michigan, and Wis
consin, and where more than $50 ply
sicians were trained, seven such
courses were conducted-three at
Springfield. Ill.,. two at Muirdale
Sanatorium, Wauwatosa, Wis, and
two at the Michigan State Sanator-
ium at Howell The broad benefits
of the courses having become appar.
ent, it was then thought advisable
to concentrate the efforts and com.
bine the staff of the three origina,
schools into one school and to con-
duct it at Chicago, where the district
office of the bureau was located.
Four very intensive seven day cour-
ses were conducted there.
The course embraced instruction in
topography inspection. palpation
percussion and auscultation, demon,
STATIONS of the normal chest, chest
pathology, and finally a study of
advanced cases in hopitals. The
