Lou Moore Back to Battle
Jinx in 5OO-Mile Classic

Lou Moore passed a speedway on
the way to college and completed
his education behind the wheels of
fast-stepping automobiles.
The rosy checked adonis of the
track will drive again in the annual
500-mile race at the Indianapolis
Motor Speedway on May 30.
1t all happened this way. Moore
had graduated from the Ell Monte
high school in California and was
preparing to enter the University of
Southern California. He was living
not far from the Beverly Hills track
and whiled away his summer days
hanging about the garages
His tuition money was burning a
hole in his pocket as he watched
the pilots burning up the race course
and at the age of Is, invested his
savings in a Fronty Ford and for
sock college for the roaring road
in 1924.
-Four years later, young Moore
came to Indianapolis for his first
taste of the big show and, driving
for Charlie Haase, followed Louis
Meyer in for a second placing in his
first attempt. Haase sent him back
the next year and he was again

sixth in club batting with a mark
of .237, last in club fielding at 1868,
and their pitchers have been out
hit 1870 to lis safeties. But they
are in a triple tie for third place.
They trounced the New York
Giants. 8 to 5, Friday.
Ray Kolp won for the Reds. Re-
lieving Benny Frey in the fourth
inning with the score at sail, one
on and none out, he yielded only
three hits during the rest of the
game. In addition, he batted in
the winning run by singing in the
sixth with two aboard. Home runs
by George Grantham of the Reds
and Mel OFT of the Giants started
the scoring. New York contributed
three errors.
Brooklyn dropped to sixth place
by losing, to 2, to the leading Pr
ates, who combined a triple, two
walks, a fly and an inf1eld out for
the two runs in the fifth inning
that brought victory. Bill Swift
yielded seven hits to the Dodgers,
one less than allowed by Mungo,
Shaute and Benge.
Huck Belts. Braves pitcher,
singled in the eleventh inning and
was driven home with the winning
run to break up his pitching duel
with Charley Root, as Boston noSed
out the Cubs, to l. He went to
second on Bill UrbanSki'S single and
came home on Baxter Jordan's
safety. Belts and Root each allowed
eight hits.
Pepper Martin flashed his 1881
world series form as he led the
Cardinals to a to victory over
the Phillies, scoring four runs and
hitting safely four times, once for
homer. Frank Pearce and AID
LiSka allowed the Cards ten safe
ties to Bill Walkers eight.
No games were played in the
American League.

running in second place when motor
trouble set him out after driving
a splendid race for 495 miles.
In 1880, Moore plotting a Coleman
entry, was caught in the famous
SiX-car jam early in the race which
Billy Arnold rode through to vic
tory, and was forced out with
mechanical trouble at the halfway
mark in 1881.
In the blustry wind of dust last
year, Moore qualified his car at bet
ter than 1T miles an hour to nose
out Arnold for the No. pole posi-
ton, but was again jinXed with a
broken timer in the big race.
Moore comes to the competition
this year with one of the new 225
horsepower four-cylinder Miller mo-
tors, which have been so successful
in his native land of California dur
ink the winter. 1t is a similar power
plant to that with which Fred
Frame, last years indianapolis win
ner, and Harry Hartz recently set up
dozen new world records for small
motors.
Il believe it's the ideal type for
the indianapolis track and hope it
will put me out in front and keen
me there this year" Moore says.

One-Man Instruction

EREDDIE BRICKELL, who
Il used TO perform in the outfield
for the indianapolis club, went hay
wire the other day and staged a
one-man instruction in the camp
of the Philly Nationals. He grew
tired Of bench duty and when Man
ager Shotton assigned a catcher to
the pasture and left Brickell on the
bench Freddie boiled over.
Evidently Brickell decided he was
destined to grow callouses the re-
mainder of his major career, and
when he finished a sharp speech
of protest to his chief, he was told
to take off the uniform and prepare
himself to be shipped.
Fred asked to be sent to another
big league team, but the PhillieS re-
leased him to the Kansas City Blues.
He asserted the bench treatment was
hurting his pride and placing him
in the same category as a bat-boy.
The Pills got away to a rocky
start and their manager is in a sour
frame of mind.

Cured.
Years ago when Dummy Taylor
pitched for the New York Giants
some of his mates learned the deaf
sign language from him and used
the finger talk to get under the
hide of the umpires.
Umpire Hank O'Day stood the

Louisville-Derby day.
Colonel E. R. Bradley, Kentucky
horseman who is sending Brokers
Tip to the post to cop the big purse,
still is touting Ladysman to win.
This, to me, is funny. I've spent
few years around the rack track
myself, the same as the Colonel,
but a check-up on liquid assets will
show you who is the smarter.
The Colonel isn't so dumb that
he doesn't know which side of the
stall the feed box is in, but if I
were Ladysman's owners, I would
put this toutin' business down as a
piece of southern hospitality and
start watching the old boy. He may
have something up his sleeve that
none of us have been able to figure
out.
Ladysman copied everything he
ran for last year, but the Belmont
Futurity and when the season
closed, he was Sill, 450 out in front
while lot of the other 2-year-olds
were starving for winning purse.
On the other hand just drop
around at some Of the other stables
which are starting against the
wonder horse" today and you will
find more horses. which, according
to their owners, can beat Ladysman
that Soloman had wives.
What some of these stables have
said about the wonder horse" would
be good complaint for million
dollar lawsuit.
The Ladysman stable feels it is
wasting time in waiting for the race
to be run. They think they should
collect the purse now and get
started back east and if it wasn't
for the rule that horse really had
to run a mile and a quarter and
finish ahead of the field, 1 do be-
lieve they would collect the purse
and start. In the bag, they say
in the bag.
The race hasn't been run yet
but Willie Crump has $4,000. He
sold Head Play Friday. Lee RoS-
enburg, whose Kerry Patch beat
Ladysman once, is waiting for an
other chance at the Coe eligible.
Over in the Eastman stable you
hear very little about Charley O.
About the only thing you can get
out of Trainer Taylor is, He'll be
in there and trying" You don't
have to tell me that, because I know
and what an effort that baby is
going to put up!
The track is going to be soft, and
this little fellows short legs will
be going up and down so fast it will
be pitiful. I look for Jockey Cor
bett to take him to the lead at the
head of hte lane, and then turn
