(P-Sources close to Henry Ford declare his in- iuries are the result of deliberate at- sempt to kill him by crushing larger motor car into the Ford coupe in which he was riding alone.

Ford was rendered unconscious, but soon recovered and made his way to the gatekeeper of his estate. Mrs. Ford was summoned and Ford was taken home and later to hospital.

Jess Pritchett Becomes
Alley 0Wner--12 New
Drives Next Season.

Jess Pritchett, local, State and ma
tional bowling prominent, is to be-
come a ten-pin magnate, otherwise
known as an alley owner.
The popular Jess has secured a
lease on second floor space in the
old Fishback building, southwest
corner Of Pennsylvania and Mary
land SITS, and he will open new bowl
ling drives there in time for the
1928 season. Pritchett will install
twelve new alleys.
The veteran Jess has been a great
booster for the ten-pin pastime and
his venture as an alley owner is ex-
pected to popularize the sport
further in Indianapolis.
For years Pritchett was known
over the country as one Of the lead
ing pin getters and he made a large
collection of medals and other prizes
He is rated the best bowler developed

however, merely were cantering

ton of anything except fitness.
Bostonian was clicked for the best
work over the derby distance of A
mile and quarter in 2:O9 rs.
The field seemed fairly we'll set
tied down today to about eighteen
entries. The only recent changes
were the improvement in the corlci-
ton of Senator J. N. Camdens Hy-
dromel, recently on the sick list,
which seemed to indicate the colt
would start, and a reliable rumor
that H. T. Archibald of Chicago
would send Crystal Domino to the
post. The latter report will cause
no loss of sleep among owners or
trainers except those who fear their
own charges may be maltreated at
the post by the bad-acting Candy
Horse"
The field will be confined to colts
and the j. e. Widener gelding, Os-
mand. The Foxcatcher Farms Fair
Star, will not start. She was a
flop in the Preakness.
The strong eastern delegation,
headed by the Whitney pair, will
have the Sage stables Broomstick
colt, Rip Rap, a great possibility.
The astute Max Hirsch kept him
out Of the Preakness and has been
stropping him to fitness as a barber

and Kiev, the son of Stefan the
Great, is something of dark

slayer.
The West is counting on great
things from j. w. Parrish's Rolled

teen high spirited thoroughbred will
be milling restlessly at the bar
rier, between $4,000 and 1OO,.
900 race lovers will be clamoring
from the stands, and the Kentucky
Derby will be off to its fifty-third
running.
Louisville was its usual horse-mad
self today. The native population,
every one a Derby enthusiast, was
swelled by nearly 10000 visitors
from North, South, East and West,
and more were pouring in every
hour.
At Churchill Downs, the track
was ready for the influx. After

have it down to a billiard-table

The traditional friendly rivalry be.

CONFIDENCE SUBLIME

F you. asked any member of
the New York Kankees to
o express an opinion as to
major league pitchers, the unan-
imous reply would be that Herb
Pennock is the greatest pitcher In
baseball, left or right handed.
Incidentally, the supreme con-
fidence that the Yankees have in
Pennock is manifest in the play Of
the team. The club regards any
game that Pennock starts as in.
The players seem to absorb the
confidence that is a part Of Pen
nock's pitching and there is a ma
chine7like precision to the play Of
the Yanks when he is working that
is often lacking with a lesser light
doing the hurting.

PENNOCK SUPER PITCHER

IN ENNOCK is far from a super
IT pitcher, if you consider
- natural ability alone. He is
tall and willowy, doesn't look as if
he could stand much work, vet he
can carry his share of the pitching
burdens and then some.
1 would say Eppa Rixey Of the
Cincinnati Reds and LEFTY" Grove
OF the Athletics boosted far more
stuff than Pennock, particularly if
you place emphasis on speed.
Grove, the fastest southpaw in
the game, is run a close second by
his teammate, "Rube" Walberg, and
Rixey is not far behind as to his
fast one.
In speed alone, however, Grove
and Rixey have the edge on Pen
mock. His curve ball is a thing of
beauty and he has several versions
Of the hook, the wide roundhouse
variety and the fast breaking curve.
His change of pace is perfect, his
control almost uncanny and his
courage unexcelled. I know Of no
pitcher in baseball, who is so in.
different to the critical situation as
Pennock. His poise at all times is
well nigh perfect.
