Dave Barbee, Gus Dugas, Replacing Waner Broth
 CTS, Break Tie

PITTSBURGH, Penn, July 13.-- The Pirates called on couple of substitutes, Dave Barbee and Gus Dugas, to put the finishing touches on Brooklyn in a tense 12 inning struggle, the pair filling in for the Waner Brothers who were forced by minor injuries to quit their outfield posts early in the con test yesterday afternoon.
 With one out when Barbee faced Moore in the twelfth inning, he rattled a single to the right field. Dugas followed with a drive to right center which went for a three bagger and settled the is- sue.
 Barbee is a Pacific Coast Leag- uer, once with Seattle then the Missions, before going up to the big league.

the so-called European mile. The reason is Great Britains famous old runner w. B. George kept the mile in his hands, but left the 1900 meters to weaker men to run. Georges time in 1886 for the mile -4:12.8-would mean for the 1900 meters about 3:53.5-3:540. Georges record is, even if we consider the method of measuring in those days -18 inches in the curve instead of the present 12-the greatest aciev- ed in the world up to then.
 George belongs to that super class which had no members be- fore him, and to which only Bouin, Kilehmainen, Ritola, Wide, Ladou- megue, I and possibly Ray also have been able to reach after him. That is, as pure runners. In com- petition tactics all these are not

FOUR TIMES CHAMP
 THAT'S ED MCCLURE

NEW ORLEANS, La, July 13- Edwin Mcclure, at 20, has been crowned amateur golf champion of Louisiana for the fourth time
 He won his fourth title by de- feating Jules Lazard of New Or leans in the state tournament here-the first time he has won the championship outside his home city, Shreveport.
 Mcclure won the title the first time in 1927 at the age of Is, to become the youngest state cham pion since Bobby Jones. He lost in 1928 to George Bush of New Orleans, but came back in 1929 to win again.
 Fred LamprecHlt, another New Orleans golfer defeated the youth ful Mcclure in 1930, but in 1881 the Shreveport star repeated his performance of '27 and '29 and again became state champion, the title he successfully defended this year.
 Mcclure began playing golf with his father when very young, and spends nearly all his time outside of business hours on the fairways. Since graduation from high school, Edwin has been associated with his father in the insurance busi- ness.

ever, when it is the question of running, I may have something to say of my deep deliberations on the subject, and as it may be of interest to the public at larlse, what I may have to stay, well-here goes. I do not care to say any thing however about anything un- der the so-called European mile, not because I should not have to say anything, but because I have never run those distances in the competing spirit, so that they are from practical point of view out side my branch.

FRANCE LIKES BASKETBALL, HERITAGE FROM U. s. FORCES

PARIS, July 13-Basketball has grown in France until it surpass- es rugby football in numbers of players.
 This is the result of seed sown during the war by YMCA. phys ical education directors who came over with the American Expedl- tionary Forces.
 After the war, Gaston Fran cois, of Montclair, N J., as phys ical director of the Methodist Memorial in Paris, pushed the French along and now they are far ahead of all other European countries in the great American basket game.
 International contests are begin ming. The last season France played three matches with Swltz- erland, Belgium and Portugal.

LII ldlS SdIuG CldSS.
 Georges record held for 29 years, when Taber improved it by Is second. Taber, however, used fore runners, wherefore his achieve ment cannot be compared by any means with Georges great run
 Taber's record stood for 8 years. Then broke it so severely, that one might say that George had found his equal. I ran 4:104 in a hard duel, i.e., not in the best pos sible circumstances. In 1921 all ready should have been ripe for a new record on that distance, but I was not thinking of it, as the mile is run very seldom in Europe.
 Then, last summer, the mile rec ord was again bettered Ladoume- que ran it in 4:O9.2.
 It is true that the new and the previous records are of fairly equal value. It only depended on cir cumstances that the figures were different. The Frenchman used forerunners, i.e., he did not com- pete with any other runner. When I ran the distance and made my record, the main thing was only to beat a dangerous opponent. And another runner can be beaten oth- erwise also, without running in record class.
 There are very few active run ners who understand what it means to have forerunnerS or pacemak- = CTS. I venture to assert that if for instance Ray had been allowed to have pacemakers in those days, when a result of 5:15 was quite an ordinary occurrence for him, his name would most certainly have been engraved on the table of the mile record holders.
 A Possible 4:05 Mile
 Ladoumegue's record is good, but by no means anything supernatur- al. Generally speaking, the stabil- ity of the records is best seen by the way in which other runners manage to get near to it. Natur- ally this depends again to a great extent on how many starters there are: The more the starters in the stretch, the lower the results go automatically. The thing stands so that on the mile there are more men than I who have got very near Ladoumegue's time; can name my compatriots Larva Purje, as well as the young rising star of this winter, Venzke.
 Where is then the limit for the mile record? do not hesitate a second to assert that 1909 meters will one day be run in 4:04.
 When I ran the 1900 meters in Paris, my time at the 1000 in point was 2:31 and at the A mile 3035. I could have kept up this speed easily up 10 the mile, if anyone had been pressing me, or if had decided to run for record. That was not the case however, be- cause had to reserve my strength for the 5000 meters. Thus, if I had run to the end at full speed the result would have been 3:47.43. The full mile would then have worked out at 4:05-4 06.
 If I had trained in 1924 spec ially for the mile, I should have run about 4:04. This distance be- ing very seldom run in Europe, and my idea then being to run on as wide a scale as possible, the mat ter was left aside. And later on it was impossible. "Old Man Time" is at the door.

Modern Cars to Be Placed
First on North Illinois
Shelby Through Line.

First unit of twenty-five new
modern street cars ordered by In
dianapois Railways has been COM
pleted and shipped to indianapolis.
1t probably will arrive here next
week.
First of the cars completed was
inspected and given approval, before
shipment, by James P. Tretton,
street railway general manager,
while in Philadelphia this week.
Remainder of the order will be
shipped from the plant of the ]. G.
Brill Company, largest car builders
in the country, in groups of four or
five, and it is expected all twenty
five will be here and in service on
indianapolis streets before Christ
mas.
The new cars, seating forty-seven
passengers each, will be placed in
operation on the North Illinois
street line and it's branches, Butler,
Playground and Napoleon, and will
be connected with the Shelby street
line.
Thus, through service will be pro-

Street railway officials pointed out
that while it might appear desirable
to spread these new cars over differ
ent lines, to do so would be to lose
the advantage of speed possessed by
the new cars. as they would be
slowed by Older equipment being
used.
In appearance, the new cars will
be low, trim, and streamlined, ac-
cording to Charles w. Chase, Indi-
annapolis Railways president.
The bodies will be all-Steel and
will be much closer to the ground
than present equipment. New low
steps will make the cars extremely
easy to board and leave.
Both interior and exterior will be
decorated in attractive colors. Bat
tleship linoleum will be used on
floors. Lighting fixtures, seat han
dies, and other accessories will be
aluminium or chromium plated.
Seats will be upholstered in beau
tiful Spanish leather. All seats,
with exception of six individual arm
chairs in the front, will be of the
double cross-type, so all passengers
will face forward while riding.
They will be wider and more COM
Portable than seats now in use,
there will be greater leg room and
a roomier aisle will be provided.
The old-fashioned coal stoves will
be a thing of the past, as the new
cars are to be heated automatically
by electricity, temperature being
kept at an even level by thermosta-
tic control.
A new type ventilator in the cell
ing will provide clean fresh air
without draft.
Shatter- proof glass will be used
in front and rear windows. Side
windows are of new type, easily
opened and closed.

HEAVY TAX is PAID
Street Railways Share Is

Indianapolis Railways is one of
the heaviest taxpayers in Marion
county, its annual contribution
amounting to more than 1925 900.
Checks for more than $4,000
were sent by the company to the
county treasurer's Office last month";
representing taxes paid by the COM
pany for the siX-month period.
Thus, the company's taxes repre-
sent the equivalent of 100000
street car fares This tax bill,
which does not include the gasoline
tax, license fees, or various forms
Of federal taxes, amounts to more
than 500 a day.

ditions, viewing motion pictures

Fifteen viii Be Used or
South Meridian River
side Tram Route.

The fifteen new trackless trolley
cars which will be placed in regular
service Sunday on the South Me-
ridian street line, replacing street
cars, are the very latest word in
city transportation, according to
Charles w. Chase, Indianapolis
Railways president.
The Riverside line will be joined
with the South Meridian line, the
same buses operating over the COM
bined routes, as soon as work of in
stalling the necessary overhead
wiring can be completed, probably
within about two weeks.
Passengers living on these two
lines will receive approximately a
Is per cent faster ride than at
present, Chase said.
Cars on Rubber Tires
"Trackless trolley cars virtually
are street cars on rubber tires"
Chase said. They have won pop
ularity in many cities during the
last years for service on routes with
medium volume of traffic.
They combine many good quali-
ties of both street car and bus. They
run with electrical energy obtained
from overhead wires and are OPP
Grated like a street car"
The trackleSS trolley cars can be
swung around approximately fifteen
feet on either side of the trolley
wire. Thus, they may be swung
around distractions in their path, if
necessary, and they will be pulled
up to the curb for loading and I'M
loading passengers outside the bust
ness district.
Controlled by Pedals
Elimination of the necessity of
shifting gears, as in a gasoline bus,
makes the new trackless trans al

motors are operated electrically.
They are controlled the same as
the new type street cars ordered for
use here, by foot pedals.
Interiors are brilliantly lighted at
night, because of unlimited electric
power, permitting passengers to read
newspapers with ease.
The new trackless trolleys have
been instituted successfully, within
the last two years, in Chicago, Rock
ford, Peoria, Pawtucket. Duluth,
Topeka, St. Joseph, Memphis, Ke-

HUNDREDS RIDE
new TRACKLESS
TROLLEY CARS
Service Formally Started on
South Meridian Line by
Railways Company.

Trackless trolley service today
formally was inaugurated on the
South Meridian street line, replac-
ing street cars, as a part of the
100000 ten-year improvement plan
Of the new Indianapolis Railways.
Hundreds of city, county and
state officials and leading citizens
we're guests of the street railway
company and rode on the new type
equipment in the parade of the
fifteen new trolley buses over the
South Meridian street line at 1920
today.
Regular service will be started
with the new cars Sunday.
The guests we're welcomed by
members of the South Meridian
Street Civic Club at South Merid-
ian and Morris streets
Cars Have Pneumatic Tires
The cars, operated electrically
from overhead wires, are equipped
with pneumatic rubber tires and
are steered like a bus, permitting
the operator to swing around OBJ
structions and to pull to the curb
to take on and discharge passengers
outside the business district.
The companys guests on the first
ride today were impressed greatly
with the comfort, luxurious appoint
ments and smooth and rapid &C
celeration of the new trans.
They are the very latest develop
ment in street railway equipment
and have many remarkable features.
Among these is the arrangement
whereby passenger can not be in
jured by the automatic doors &C
cidentally closing on him. The doors
automatically stop closing as soon
as they meet an obstruction, and a
bell rings, calling attention of the
operator.
Jerks Are Eliminated
Smooth acceleration is obtained
through automatic machinery which
steps up the speed by minute de-
grees preventing passengers from
being jostled. The cars are operated
by two foot pedals, one for starting
and one for stopping, just as in an
automobile.
The trackless trolley cars are to be
used on the Riverside route, COM
bining it with the South Meridian
line in one through route, as soon as
overhead wiring is completed on the
Riverside line, probably within two
weeks.
The last street car was operated
over the Meridian line Wednesday
night, gasoline buses being used on
the route Thursday, Friday and to-
Gay to enable linemen to clear away
the old street car wire.
Loop in Downtown Zone
Pending completion of the River
side line wiring, the trackless troll
ley cars will use the following loop
in the downtown district:
North on Illinois to Indiana ave-
nue., west on Indiana to Capitol,
south on Capitol to Maryland, east
on Maryland to Illinois, south on
Illinois to end of the South Me-
ridian line.
The regular 7-cent street car fare
will be charged on the trolley
busses, with four tokens for quar-
ter. Service will be provided at
more frequent intervals than I'M
der the old street car system.

BOYS SAVE TRIO
FROM DROWNING
Indianapolis Lads Drive
Boat Through Storm.

Two indianapolis youths drove
their speedboat through hail
storm late Thursday afternoon to
rescue three persons clinging to the
bottom of an overturned sailboat
in Lake Macxinkuckee.
They we're Norman Perry Jr., II,
son of Norman Perry, owner Of the
indianapolis baseball club, and
Francis Riley, 10, brother of Walter
J. Riley, secretary Of the ball club.
Mary Crawford and David Coop
er of Terre Haute, and man whose
name could not be learned, were
saved from drowning.
Finding the sailboat passengers, in
grove danger of drowning, the In
dianapolis boys rescued first Miss
Crawford, then Cooper, and finally
the unknown man.
A separate trip had to be made
for each rescue, as the capacity of
the speedboat would be overtaxed
by more than three occupants.
