RaiIroaderS Determined to
Hold to Circuit Lead
Post.
TO BROADCAST GAME
H. A. C. Victory Will Create
Deadlock.
CAST GAME

One of the feature battles of the
independent basketball season in
indianapolis will be fought tonight
at the H. A. c. gym when the Big
Four A. A. and Hoosier Athletic
Club teams meet in the second game
of tonight's City Basketball League
session.
The first game of the night will
be played at 7:45 between the Polk
Milk and Pennsy Railroad teams.
The battle between the Hoosiers
and RailroaderS has caused wide
spread interest and arrangements
have been made to broadcast the
game from WKBF, the H. A. G. sta
ton.
The Railroaders coached by Bob
Nipper, Butler frosh mentor, are de-
termined to hold to their league
leading post, while the Hoosiers are
just as determined to make it a
deadlock for first place by knocking
off the Big -Four. The league stand

up plenty Of points. McDermott ap-

fought ten rounds in Cincinnati,

Dudley Ring took the count Of
nine in the fifth session and lost
what chance he had against Budd.
Many fans were puzzled at Ring
staying down that long, because
Budd's punch did not look damaging.

Youthful Ace
of Speed to
Pilot Stutz
Coast Demon Enters 500.
Mile Motor Classic;
AffirmS RumorS.

Rumors to the effect that Frank
Lockhart, youthful coast speed de-
mon, would drive a Stut1 Special
in the 500-mile motor classic at the
Indianapolis Motor Speedway we're
affirmed today when Lockharts en-
try blank was received at the Office
of the local speedway corporation.
Lockhart's mount is specified as
the Stutz creation, instead of the
Miller Special and Perfect Circle
Miller in which he earned money
and fame in 1926 and 1927.
Lockhart'S first introduction to
the "big league" racing public is
pretty much history right now. He
came here from the west coast in
'26, anxious to "break in" Pete
Kreis fell ill and the wheel of Petes
Miller was relegated to Frank, who
proceeded to go places and do
things.
When the chcckered flag was
waved at the end of 400 miles in
'26, cut short because Of driving
rain. Lockhart was leading the pro-
cession. Since then Lockhart regu-
larly has been receiving the check
cred flag and has become known
as the barometer for races. Where
Lockhart is-there's a race. He
goes to Florida this week in the
hope of setting a worlds mile rec
ord in his specially built Stutz.

it improbable.

CHIEFLY first came into national
~ prominence at Salt Lake in the
Coast League back in 1916. Despite
four good seasons, he always batted
over 300, but the leg injury caused
the scouts to pass him up because
of lack Of speed. However, a fat
mark Of ST. in 1919 caused the Chi
cago White Sox to take a chance.
He has been with that club ever
since. Last season, youngster,
