HEINIE MERCEDES WORST BALL CLUB TEAM THREATENS IN AMERICA TURNS TO COP BIG RACE INTO DREADED FOE

The worst ball club in America happened upon an adversary Mon day, who happened to be just a little bit more awful. And the almost in credible result was that the Phillies of Philadelphia won two games in one day, which for them is a record to be engraved above the door of the Philadelphia city hall.
 The victims were the Boston Braves. The site of the strange oc- currences was Boston. Philadelphia won the first to and the other II to 2.
 In New York the Brooklyn Dodgers beat the Giants s to T. and the Dodgers, who started the season so miserab1y, are now closer to the Pi- rates. who hold second place. The Cubs. who are tied with the Dodgers for third. were the ones who beat in II innings. Thus both the Cubs and Dodgers advanced on the Pirates, but their joint proximity to second berth is only relative, for the Pi- rataes still enjoy the safety of a good margin.
 The Cardinals scored three runs in the tenth inning at St. Louis, and beat the Reds ,5 to after the Gin cinnati team had scored two in the first half of the tenth. The Reds who began with such flaming ambi- tions are now of type with the hopeless braves.
 There was only one game in the American league. Connie Mack's confident Athletics blew one to the Red Sox in Philadelphia, s to 6.

| SCORING METHODS
 FOR TRACK MEETS MAY BE CHANGED
Under Present System Cali fornia Won Intercollegiate
 Meet With One First

NEW YORK, May 2S.-Three times in three successive seasons have the
 bunchy muscled young field hands
 from the University of California won the national intercollegfate track and field championship in the final and crucial underwear kermess of the year. This has caused such distress in this part of the country, where
 most members of the athletic legis lature have their homes, that there
 may be law next season to prevent
 it's happening a fourth time.
 California won last Saturdays meet at Franklin Field, Philadelphia, with out winning single first place in the running events and for that mat ter, with only one first place in the | field events, which are California fondest feats. Princeton, with two victories on the track and one first place in the tests of sheer might con-
 ducted within the dutsy oval, was
 nevertheless defeated in the book keeping.
 In the eight track events, only one
 man from California won place at
 all. Becker, who ran third in the
 120-yard hurdles. Even in the field events, California took only two sec
 onds. But the western youths were l bringing in miscellaneous small
 points from all the concurrent activi- ties of the circus, dumping them on
 the pile and rushing away for more with the eventual result that Cali fornia had total of 391a and quite
 enough to win the championship. There were four thirds in the To- hurdles the javelin. discus and run
 ming broad jump and two Californlans
 tied with third man from Pittsburg
 for third place in the high jump, | contributing four points to the aggre- | gate, in which case it was better to l have two men baWled up with an out
 sder in a tie performance than to
 have won third place outright, as
 third gives only three points.
 Change In sco2ine q Q Suggested. &
 The suggestion most commonly heard to prevent a team from win
 ming a meet by specializing in third
 afield. to the almost complete neglect i of the track, is to change the scoring | system so as to give more points for
 first and proportioNately fewer for the other places in the order of i'm 1 ishing. Nothing has been done yet
 of course but the suggestion cer-
 tainly will be fired at the l. c. A. A. A.
 A. at it's next national meeting.
 | Californians sometimes complain
 that the eastern athletic legislatures
 treat them as Congress used to treat
 the Indian. Charlie Paddock and his friends in the Pacific coast zone of
 the A. A. U. had a suspicion that his
 moot record of 2-5 for 100 yards would not have been thrown down quite so hard had he been resident of Boston or Brooklyn. Therefore, 1 if the scoring system of the national ] intercollegiates should be changed in
 general accordance with the proposal. the University eff California may com
 plain that there was plenty of time | to have done the deed before Cali
 fornia won the championship three | times in three years.

Cumbersome Appearing q Mounts Are Capable Of
 Speed

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 2S.- Never before in the history of racing has there been so much open infor- nation yet such an air of secrecy as the situation which surrounds the cars in the international 50O-mile race which will be run over the his toric two and one-half mile brick ovel af the Indianapolis motor speed way next Wednesday,
 With prizes which will approximate e s1OO, 900 including an added purse for the leaders of various laps of the race, the drivers are on edge for a whirl at the gigantic pile of gold which will be hanging on the finish wire. And there are at least ten cars which are within striking distance of the fastest time of the year.
 The Yankees. are confident they can repel the foreign invasion, but the foreigners are going about their practice work in quiet, systematic manner that suggeststhe utmost con- fidence. The German Mercedes team especially, has made an excellent pre- race showing, yet there is tinge of mystery in the air concerning this team from afar. The drivers have shown their ability to wheel the cum bersome appearing mounts, compared with the American cars, around the course at dangerous rate of speed And all the time they have been coastlng the curves and depending on the unique supercharging feature of their motors to carry them out on to the straightaways and along the stretches at a rapid gait.
 Satisfied With Chances.
 From the knowing glances and de- meanor it is known that they are more than satisfied with their chances. But the American drivers are equally as confident. They are sure that their cars are above re proach and they are determined that they will not be outdriven by the for eigns pilots.
 There is most sportsmanslike at titude on the part of all contestants and the Germans have become ex- treme favorites with the habitues of the paddock. Especially have Christian Lautenschlager and Max Sailer, two of the drivers, made d distinct hit with the crowds. They are sportsmen through and through and their attitude has made a decided impression with the fans, who ap plaud their every feat.
 Murphy, Milton. Hearne, Wilcox, Hartz, De Palma. Boyer and Resto have demonstrated that they will be a match for all foreign competition, but it is a certainty that the eleventh international 500-mile race will be more nearly sincere battle between nations than ever before in the his tory of the great classic.

MURPHY'S TIME N TRIALS IS BEST

INDIANAPOLIS, May 2s.-Jimmy Murphy, winner of last years 500- mile automobile race, showed the greatest speed of IA drivers who qualified their cars today to partici- pate in the annual event here Memo rial Day. His time for 10 miles was 5:45:94, an average of 104.05 miles per hour. Twenty-two drivers to date have qualified their mounts for the race, which will begin at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning. Among those who successfully passed their trials today are three German cars driven by Christian Werner, Christian Laugtenschlager, and Karl Sailer; Earl Cooper. Frank Elliott. Prince de Cystria of France, Cliff Durant, Joe Boyer and Ralph De Palma.
 Murphys performance in an eight cylinder machine was the nearest ap- proach to the record making time of 1OSh miles per hour, established last Saturday by Tommy Milton. Cliff Durant and De Palma were the only other drivers to hurl their cars around the oval at speed greater than 100 miles an hour.

JIMMY PROTO LOSES
 BOUT TO JOE FOWLKES

dazed Proto, but he made a good comeback late in the round and evened up with vicious licks to the stomach and chin. The end of the round found Fowlkes apparently weak from the attack
 Both boxers met in mid-ring and slugged to start the sixth round off. Fowlkes kept up his attack to the head, while Proto was shifting from body to head.
 The seventh was featured by heavy slugging. Fowlkes opened up with his uppercut in this round and landed it two or three times in telling manner. Both men got some terrific blows in this round and showed game style of fighting. Proto was rather weak at the end of the round. Fowlkes was trying to get his up- percut through for a knockout in the eighth while Proto was trying to get close in for his body attack Both boxers fell when they got tangled up during slugging melee. The round ended with both boys still slugging.
 the ropes in the ninth and driving for his stomach. Both men landed good blows.
 Fowlkes got his uppercut working efficiently in the tenth. Proto's at tempts to get in low for his body blows were met by Fowlkes' terrific uppercuts that landed time after time on Proto's jaw and head. Fowlkes opened cut over Proto's eye and the local boxer was smeared with blood in the latter part of the tenth. Despite the Memphis slug gers vicious uppercuts Proto never ceased to drive into him although each time he was halted. His attack fitted in perfectly with Fowlkes slugging in the last round and few Fl he pIo nf the sean went astray.
 It was probably this round that decided the referee although it seem ed that four rounds should have gone to Proto, four to Fowlkes and two as draws.
 The preliminaries were opened by great slugging match staged by Kid Roy Tears and Young Dabney tion affair and was certainly an exhibition of slugging. The young ters slugged from the first bell to the last
 Craddock was downed twice in as many rounds by May in the wrestling bout. Lacey. who was to meet Lownded, was stranded in Bessemer and could not fill his engagement.
 Larry Broderick and Bogie Saab slugged to draw in four rounds. Both boxers landed some terrific blows. Broderick's left was exceed ingly vicious.
 Young Battling Kelly and Kid Stills staged a farce in three rounds. In the third Stills apparently got tired
 and sat down, the bout ended with the count of ten.
 The battle royal was the feature of the preliminary card. Five husky colored sluggers started the battle but by the process of elimination over the k. O. route. The last two boxers staged a three round bout in which the winner of the last battle royal again was left standing when his opponent hit the floor for the count.
