Dale Miller, 5235 Park avenue
popular basketball official and sec
rotary of the Indianapolis BASEBALL
club, turned detective, and today a
Negro car thief went to the state
penal farm.
During the winter Miller spends
a great deal of his time in detect
ing fouls by overzealous basketball
players, but several days ago he de-
tected Hubert Hampshire, %, Negro,
trying to loot several parked cars.
Miller's car was parked on Mar
ket street and, when he returned,
he found his coat was missing. So
were the golf clubs and bag of Will
lard Bonner. FIT. Wayne, parked
nearby.
Miller was given a description of
the car looter.
Look for a Negro wearing a white
cap, white shirt and bright green
Suspenders, who just went down
that alley a passerby told Miller.
Miller started cruising, and picked
up the Negroes trail He lost him
several times, but continued.
Finally, Miller spotted two motor
cycle officers and enlisted their aid.
Today in municipal court three,
Judge Dewey E. Myers sent Hamp-
shire back to the state farm for his
fifth sojourn for looting parked
cars. Hampshire was fined $40 and

Interests Many Here

indianapolis racing observers to-
day received with interest the re-
port that Colonel E. V. Ricken-
hacker, president of the Indianapo-
lis Motor Speedway, had proposed
to limit the 500-mile Memorial day
race to strictly stock automobiles.
Veteran racing critics were re-
luctant to believe the A. A. A. con-
test board would pass such a rule.
They pointed out that it easily
might result in an empty field" for
the race.
1t has been known for the last
several years that large automobile
manufacturers are unwilling to risk
placing entries in the Indianapolis
race
Their argument, it is commended, is
that a simple twist of racing luck
might bring a mishap or tragedy to
car and thus create a situation
where commercial sales would suffer.
The manufacturers are said to be-
lieve that participation in the Indi-
annapolis race would place their
costly investments in peril.
Followers Of the race, however.
believe that Colonel Rickenbacker's
proposal is a courageous and level
headed attempt to bring more safety
and added interest to the auto rae
ing sport.

Boyish taunt of 'fraidy cat" isn't
funny today for 10-year-old Charles
Richards, IT'S Hoyt avenue.
There is hole in his right ell
bow where a .38-caliber bullet
passed through Thursday afternoon
Charles and a playmate, Joseph
Strout, Ill, of 1705 Hoyt avenue,
were at the Strout home in the alb
sence of the family, and in hid

volver belonging to Strout's father
Joe held the revolver as he and
the other boy admired the carved
handle and FURNISHED barrel.
Joe goes on with the story from
the point where Charles dared him
to shoot.

to me, and I pulled the trigger"
Chuck yelled, and fell to the floor
Joe helped him to a nearby drug
store where a tourniquet was ap-
piled, stopping copious flow OF
blood.
Police were called.
Joe first told story that a stray
bullet struck his playmate while
they were in the backyard of the
Strout home
But before Chuck was taken away
to city hospital. Joe got around to
telling the facts of the case.
After treatment, the Richards boy
was returned home. Joe has gone

Vomanhood? MOI So Kentucky Mint Julep Wins

After that every man left his bar
rels out in the storm and, quite
unlike Ajax, who def1ed the light
ming, implored the bolts to strike
home.
The mint julep of Kentucky is
part Of the American tradition.
The pilgrims landed upon
Plymouth Rock, and the natives
Of the great southland were in
spired to find a far more happy
landing.
The court can not find in its
heart to say may" to the rituals
tic beverage which has come out
of the very soil of the American
commonwealth. To deny its pre-
eminent virtues would be to scorn
and make mockery of American
womanhood.
Judgment is rendered in favor
OF Mr.. Cobb and the mint julep
compounded out of Kentucky
Bourbon.
Eddie Of the Aston is guilty of a
heresy in using brandy as base.

confuse, rather than clarity, the
issue.
Strictly speaking, the case con-
Germs human rather than wholly
legalistic values. The tradition
of these United States can not be
overlooked in rendering judgment.
The testimony of Colonel SOule
Smith has been called to the
courts attention. Colonel Smith,
a Confederate veteran, wrote:
The crushing of the mint makes
its nearness more apparent. Like
a woman's heart, it gives its sweet
est aroma when bruised"
AS in the case of roast pork as
reported by Charles Lamb the dis
covery of the Kentucky Julep owes
something to chance. Lamb has
recorded that the merits Of crack

DETROIT, July 14-Future auto
mobile races at the Indianapolis
motor speedway will be limited
strictly to stock cars if the sugges-
ton made today by Colonel E. v.
Eddie Rickenbacker, president of
the Speedway corporation, is voted
upon favorably.
Rickenbacker urged adoption of
the stock car limitation before a
meeting of the A. A A. contest
board, directors of the Indianapolis
Speedway Corporation, and repre-
Sentatives of nearly all the motor
car manufacturers. Rickenbacker
also is chairman of the A. A. A.
board.
Drivers Back Idea
This years race was marred with
a series of fatal accidents which we
all regret" Rickenbacker said.
Something must be done to make
more safe the running of such races
in the future and the most apparent
means is to reduce speed of the con-
testing cars.
I'VE propose-with your support
to accomplish this by limiting entries
to stock cars"
Both Leon Duray and Barney
Oldfield, veteran race drivers, backed
the suggestion heartily.
by limiting the entries to stock
cars, the race driver will be relieved
of heavy financial burden Duray
said. AT present the driver usually
has practically all his means tied
up in racing vehicles. BY interesting
the manufacturer, he would be re-
lieved of the burden"
Oldfield took a similar view.
Cost Now Heavy
To-day it costs usually between
$4,000 and $4,000 to place race
car on the track. If stock cars only
are permitted, it would be possible
to get an entry ready for not to
exceed $1,000. I foresee the day
when all auto races will be limited
to stock cars. -
Following Rickenbacker's sugges-
ton, the various representatives
we're polled individually. 1t ap-
peared likely that, following a thor
ough discussion, the A. A. A. contest
board members and speedway di-
rectors would vote separately on
the proposal. The vote was not
expected to be reached until late
today.
