Dempsey for a shot at the world
heavyweight title. was awarded a
ten-round decision Thursday night
over rugged Pauline Uzcudun OF

ing from the gallery fans, who
showered him with newspapers and
torn programs.
Although the judges we're unan-

spectators thought the veteran

received the verdict in the unin-

After Lefty ODoul had ex-

In the sixth inning, with
Cuccinello on second, the
Dodger catcher strobe to the
plate and cracked out a single.
At this point the Giants
swarmed from their dugout
and pointed out that accord
ing to the official lineup it was
Kelly's and not Lopez's time

stricken off and Lopez ruled
out-and the Dodgers had to

forth with some swell fireworks in
the first hundred miles of Mondays
race.
Second Row Threatens
In the second row will be three
consistent drivers seated in sturdy,
reliable machines, Russ Snowberger
in his Hupp Comet Ira Hall in a
Duesenberg, and Howdy Wilcox in
the four-cylinder Lion Head Special.
All three are capable of winding
up their buggies to ia miles an
hour, and should any Of the three
elect to chase the pace settlers, they
won't be far behind.
In the third row are three more
highly able pilots, Louis Meyer, Paul
Bost and Billy VIM. Meyer, in
his sixteen-cylinder Sampson Spe-
cial, has as much speed in his car
as any driver on the bricks if he
wants to let it loose. The 1923
champion was satisfied with a
112.471 qualifying speed. but he may
not be satisfied to lay back on race
day.
Carey, Huff Speedy
The fourth row has Cliff Bergere
and Luther Johnson, in Stude-
bakers, and Bill Cummings, in a
Bowes Seal Fast. All three cracked
it up to over Ill in the qualiflca-
tons. The fifth row contains Frank
Brisko in his own front-drive, Bob
Carey in Louis Meyers rear drive
eight, and Joe Huff in the Goldberg
Highway Parts Special. Bob and
Joe may have to be watched closely.
Both are crack pilots and they have
fine machines under them.
In the sixth row are Wesley
Crawford in a Boyle Valve. Pete
Kreis in a Studebaker and Al Miller
in a Hudson. Each made 10 in the
trials. The seventh row has Deacon
Litz in another Bowes Seal Fast,
Tony Gulotta in a Studebaker and
Joe Russo in the Art Rose Special.
All made over 108 in the time tests.
McDOnogh in Eighth Row
Two of the machines in the
eighth row are just as fast as any
in the race. At the pole there is
Wilbur Shaw in the Miller Special
he qualified at 114326 miles an hour
a,,d u, fl,irI v1ocif;1,, ie nj, AZ
Donogh in the Miller FWD machine
he piloted at 1888 in the trials.
In the middle sits AL Aspen in the
Brady Nardi which did 108.
The ninth row has two more fast
cars. There is Stubby Stubblefeld
in the four cylinder champion Gill
more, which did 1889, and Fred
Frame in the Hartz Special, which
did 1886. In the center is Phil
Shafer in his Shafer Eight, which
he pulled around at 110.708. The
Gilmore was setting a 117-mile-an-
hour clip, but coasted through the
last lap Of the trial with a soft tire.
The tenth row has Gus Schader
in another Miller four-wheel drive,
which did 112.003: Chef Miller in
the second Hudson, which made
111053, and Louis Schneider, 1881
champion. who qualified Thursday
ct 11o.6e1.
Summing up the whole works it
means there are twelve cars which
qualified at speeds of 112 miles an
hour and greater, and most of
which are capable of winding up to
lie and 1T miles an hour.
That's real speed and it may
mean that all the records that ever
we're made in 500-mile competition
may be going by the boards in
1928 order on Monday.
