'SportSmanShip of Drivers
Remarkable, Says
Winner.

This is so sudden: a fellow has
to think things over"
A little bewildered at his sudden
elevation to the American speed
throne, Frank Lockhart. winner Of
the Speedway race Monday. today
paused to determine plans for the
future.
Lockhart, 23-year.old driver Of the
Miller Special that flashed first
across the line, said he will remain
In Indianapolis for several days to
determine his plans for the future.
1T was one Of the easiest races 1
ever drove" said Lockhart. Il
never saw a race so smoothly run
and the craftsmanship Of the other
drivers was of a much higher type
than in tho rough dirt-track game. &"
Lockhart has been racing on the
dirt track circuit since he was 20
years old
"Why, on the dirt track. they'll
run over you for a dime" he said.
The newly crowned speed kings
greatest regret, he said, was the
fact that the automobile classic was
interrupted by rain at the 400-mile
mark.
1T would have been so much bet
ter for the public and for myself II
the race had lasted the full dis
lance" he said.
Lockhart attended banquet Mon
day night and then retired, but said
that he was unable to get to sleep
until 1890.
But I certainly did sleep" he
declared.

Hartz Drove Steadily

Harry Hartz drove his character
istically steady race and was in his
usual spot, second place, when Lock
hart got the checkered flag. Harry
took the lead at the 1o1st lap when
Lockhart stopped for gas. water,
oil and tires.
Lockhart was out one minute and
thirteen seconds and regained the
lead when Hartz was forced to the
pits on the 10Th lap for complete
change of tires and gasoline. Lock
hart got in front by about two laps
at this time and held 1t until the
end Of the race.
Woodbury. in a Boyle Valve
Special, a. Miller motored car, with
patent valves, was a big surprise
and drove in splendid form. He was
creeping up on Hartz at the end.
Conner, who finished fourth, like his
team mate Hartz, set a steady pace
and kept it.
One of the two Duesies in the race
Pete De- Paolo's mount, was fifth. He
had plenty Of trouble at the start

when an axle broke on the Duesen-
berg two-cycle job, and Ben Jones
car hit the inner wall at the north
west turn. Jones was unhurt and
walked into the pits.
Spectators at the north turn got
most OF the thrills when the cars
skidded on the slippery bricks. Ed

twice, barely missing Duff, Hartz

Dutch Henry pitched great ball
for the Tribesmen, Monday, in the
first half of the double bill, but lost
because Joe Dawson twirled some
puzzlers the locals couldn't solve.
The score was to /, the visitors
scoring one marker in the third
when the Tribesmen miscued twice
and again in the fifth stanza. The
run registered in the fifth was the
only earned marker of the tight
mound battle. The Bushmen counted
their run in the fourth helped by an
error on a sacrifice hit.
Two Caught Mapping
Dawson held the locals to four
hits and Henry held the champions
to six safeties. Two Indians were
caught mapping off first in this
fracas, and the business of going
to sleep all went to put Dawson over
with a victory.
The second struggle Monday was
a wild affair won by the Indians,
II to 9. Both sides paraded pitchers.
Specie, Thompson, Niles and Wis
ner toiled for the home club and
Holley, Cullop and Wilkinson got in
the affair for Louisville.
Specie hurled big league ball until
the sixth when he exploded and was
knocked out. The Colonies staged a
batting attack and were aided by
walks and two costly Tribe errors.
Nine runs were piled up before the
Hoosiers could retire the side.
Tribe Does Comeback
The fans screamed in anguish, but
the Indians decided they had been
punished enough and in their half
of the sixth they braced and sent
eight runs Gathering over the plate.
And all the eight markers were
earned, not a Colonel error helping
The Indians had counted twice in
the second inning and once in the
third and the fat eighth enabled
the locals to capture the finale with
the champs. With four games of
the five to their credit, the Colonies
hustled away and headed for home
to meet the Toledo Hens today.
Ray Miller, infelder, who was
signed by the Indian on Monday,
played shortstop in both games Of
the double attraction. He was given
plenty to do and accepted seventeen
of nineteen chances. He collected
one bingle during the afternoon and
go two walks.

fifth this year in a Duesenberg, won
last year at an average rate of
101.13 miles an hour, which Is a
track record for 500 miles. A
slippery track and new motors this
year tended to slow up the race.
For the first time in Speedway
history rain interrupted the race
after it got under way, and it was
stopped with Lockhart in the lead at
the end Of 177h miles. The cars
were started again, after an hour
and ten minutes delay, from a stand

They were lined up single file on
the inside Of the track and sent
away in the order that they had
been tagged from the track, thus
keeping their relative positions in
the race.
During the intermission drivers
