Homer George Says ! Big Race Will Be the
 Closest Yet
By HOMER C. GEORGE

Special correspondent of The Age
 Indianapolis. Ind. May 25.-Sinee Monday morning l have been here studying racing cars, racing drivers and all the many phases or racins which go to make up the greates. motor contest in the world. Ana feel safe in saying the tenth running of the great Indianapolis race IS sure to surpass anything of the past. Thirty drivers will face the starter with cars so fit that only misfortune will throw them to one side.
 And such a race it will bel Meyer, in advance, has contest been har- der to decipher and never did struggle give such promise of being anytbody's race as that of next Tues day. Car after car has been given it's final trial and today it is toss up between at least 20 of these speed machines as to which will finish IL Is safe to say. too. that the end wAii be the closest of the Speedway his tory; with luck playing tremendous part in naming the winner. Luck and sturdy equipment
 Americans Strong
 At this stage 1t looks to be a strug- gle between cars built and designed by the American veterans, though the foreigners are not out of 1t by any means But I am looking for the winner to be either a car built by Louis Chevrolet or that other racing veteran, Fred Dusenberg. l am will ing to wager that the first man to end the 500 mile struggle will be on a mount from one of these two camps But the element of uncer- tainty is too strog to make 1t pos sible to pick a winner until further study and further qualifying
 My old pal. Barney Oldfield, is holding the same views I hold. Bar rey has been here a month and knows every car as he used to know his own mounts when he was winning the title of master driver. He has equipped the greater majority of starters with his Oldfield tires and Is as keenly interested in the possible results as If he was driving himself. Last night he finally threw up his hands and said:
 Homer, I'll be dog-gone If I can tell you which will win. I can only say it will be the toughest race in the history of American speed"
 And that is the story of Ray Har- roun, Louis Chevrolet and many tf the other old timers who are here studying the contest. With motors the size of those in Ford cars and speed of more than loo miles per hour in practically evsry car, 1t will be luck. driving ability and manage ment which will produce the winner, The whole world seems to think thiss too, Judging from the tremendous sale of tickets and the certainty that moro than 126.o0o persons will bs at the 2h mile course during the run ming of the notable event.

Mad Halter Wins
 the Metropolitan

New York. May 25.-The iRancocss stables Mad Halter. a six-year-oldl horse by Fair Play -Madcap, dupli-, cated his Metropolitan handicap vic-l tory of 1921 today. taking the twen- ty-ninth running of the event at Bel- mont park. and running the mile in 18e s-6, a new record for the race. Careful. ridden by Butwell, was sec ond and Senning Park with Lyle up finished third.
 With jockey Sande in the saddle Mad Halter, carrying top weight. lss pounds, broke third in the field of eight and followed the pace set by Careful and Bersagliere for three furlonga. Sande sent him up on the outside and into the lead, at the back stretch and after that he was never headed, winning by a length and quarter.
 Careful held on under q hard drive to save second from Scanning Park by half length. Captain Alcock. the fourth horse. was four lengths back leading On Watch, Georgia, Yellow Hand and Bersagllere in the order named. Polly Ann. the only other starter, was left at the post. Odds of 2 to 1 were obtainabie against the winner. Mad Halter. bred by Major August Belmont. is the only horse to win the event twice. The value of the purse to the winner
 was SS,550.

 Meridian Stars Are Attracting Attention

Meridian Miss, May 25.-fSpeciai4 Options have been secured on two of Meridian's ball players. Pitchers Will Hams and Tenny by Eddie Herr, scout of the Detroit Tigers of the American league, who was here few days ago looking these two promis- ing youngsters over. The price fixed for the two pitchers has not been stated, but If they are sold it will be with the provision that they are not to be delivered until the end of the Cotton States season.
 There are also two or three other players of the Meridian club who are attracting the attention of big league playershunters and it would not be surprising if they are seen in high company next season.
 President W. A. Hobbs of the local association, and Manager Frank Kohlbecker have gotten together q club that is considered the best in the country in this class of baseball and they are with but two exceptions playing It's first season of profes- slonal ball. Pitcher Hunter, who twirled no-hit, no-run game against the Greenville club Monday Is ex- pected to be drafted before the season closes as he is undoubtedly one of the most promising pitchers in this tight little league. Pelle, the fourth pitcher on the staff Is also showing remarkable ability having won all four games that he has pitched.

 Indianapolis
By HOMER 0. GEORGE

Indianapolis. Ind, May 25.-sSpe- ciaL)-super sensational speed was shown this afternoon in the qmaiifi- cation trials preliminary to the. run ming of the worlds greatest motor classic. the 5o0-mile race which will be contested Tuesday, Speed of more than 100 miles per hour was shown and every indication points to & breaking of the record in the coming big race. Veterans like Barney Old- field. Ray Harroun. Louis chevroietl and Fred Dusenberg predicted an average of near e5 miles an hour in the race.
 The most sensa tionai squirt of the' afternoon was the 1o-mile trial of Jimmy Murphy. whose car was un-i loaded from California last night. Green and without limbering up Mur-' phy fooled the course for an average of 1oolk miles per hour. Two other drivers turned laps a. the same speed, Harry Hartz going one lap at speed of almost 103 miles per hour. A OA NoA S wat 1o iHiACS lFtt hour.
 Nineteen cars qualified out of the 2S left in the entry list. Of these Jimmy Murphy gets first place; Ralph de Palma gets second place with Harry Hartz in third place. All averaged well over g miles per hour Several drivers were content to loaf around with their cars just getting over the required 80 miles per hoair. A notable member of this bunch was Hawkes.. with the English built Bent ley car which only did sloe. He stated in advance that he would not attempt any speed, but rest content to qualify. Other cars will qualify tomorrow and Saturday.

GEORGES IS READY TO DEFEND TITLE AGAINST H. CREE.
By Associated Presa

Paris, May 25.-Georges Carpen- tier is ready and anxious to defend his. title of light heavyweight cham picn of the world against Harry Greb as soon as the best arrange ments can be made. He is desirous of showing Americans, that although beaten by heavier man, he can hold his own with anybody of his weight in the world.
 In the absence of Francois De- schamps. Carpenters manager, who is away in the country, no reply has vet. been sent to the offer made by Tex" Rickard for match between Carpenter and Greb for purse of $150.000. the battle to take place at Beyle's thirty acres, Jersey City either in July or August. Carpenter said today that 1t was his opinion no French promoter was likely to meet the offer of Rickard, and that it was probable a fight with Greb would take place in the United States.
 Carpentier added that both he and Desehamps would like to fight for Rickard. as they had been squarely treated by him. but owing to the criticism ieveled at him as French champion for failing to fight in his own country since 1919, he desired to give French promoters a chance to bid for the bout.
 T went to the United States to wrest the title from Levinsky." Car pentier declared. And 1t would only be right that Greb (everything being equal regarding the induce ments) should come to France and fight me-
 Close friends of the Frenchman say the fourth of July would not be too early a date for Carpentier to fight, as he is in good condition. He trained hard for his recent bout with Ted. Kid Lewis in London and would be able to enter the ring on ten days notice.
 The leading French promoter held an informal meeting this afternooh and discussed what terms could be offered Greb for a twenty round bout with Carpenter on June 24. the eve of the Grand Prfx, or on July 13 the night before the national holi- day
