7 INDIANAPOLIS, May ga
last-minute scramble for
places in the starting line
L up of the annual 500-mile
speedway race Wednesday was
on today.
Ten to Is drivers prepared to battle
for the last four positions in the field
of 33 starters.
Most of the veterans of the speed
way course are among the 20 who
already have qualified, but two nota-
bles, Fred Frame, winner of the 1882
race, and Leon Duray, both of Los
Angeles, were awaiting their chance
in the last day of the trials. The
course will be closed tomorrow while
its 2ls miles of bricks are washed.
After four more drivers qualify,
others who wish to gain place in the
field must run the 25-mile test at a
higher speed than some of the earlier
qualiflers in order to get into the
race. A minimum average OF 100
miles an hour is required of all quail
fiers.
The youthful Rex Mays of River
side, Calf, capped busy Sunday by
leading the seven qualifiers with an
average speed of 1859 miles an
hour. Earlier in the day he raced at
Winchester, Ind, in a 10-mile dirt
speedway event, during which James
o. Patterson. %, of Kansas City was
killed. Mays placed second to Al
ThieSon of Dayton, after Patterson
and Clay Weatherly of Chicago locked
wheels and slid over an embankment
on the last lap. Weatherly escaped
with slight hurts.

Each Expects to Win.

NEITHER boy is cocky. like Baer,
N or oracular, like Tunney.
Il expect to win." was Ross
shy announcement. but Jimmy is
going to be tough to beat"
Il guess I'll win" said McLarnin,
but I have plenty of respect for
Barney"
This devocote atmosphere is
strengthened by the attitudes of Mr..
Plan, Mr.. Winch. and the McLarnin
pilot. Mr. Pop Foster.
Instead Of indicting one another in
the press for treachery, theft. and
intent to defraud, the three managers
have stuck close to their respective
camps and concentrated on spinach.
The spinach angle is the one
wisp of ballyhoo that has floated
out of the camps. and you can't
deny it's a very clean and harm
less sort of ballyhoo.
Ross handlers, it seems. were the
first to think of stoking their fighter
with ordinary garden spinach. Pres
emily it came to their ears that Pop
Foster was plying McLarnin with the
same health-giving product. They
were panied and annoyed.
Spinach is strictly Winch-Pian
stuff" they announced in a joint bull
letin. "At present we say nothing but
hands off, Further infringement of
the copyright will bring prosecution
to the fullest extent of the law"
Evening star., 1934-05-28

Sticks to His Spinach.
"THOSE fellas like to talk" he
said, but I know what I'm
doing. Spinach is free to any
inhabitant Of Gods green footstool
Besides. I'm using leaf spinach and
those guys are cutting it up and
croWning it with egg"
The matter was adjusted out of
court so satisfactorily that both
fighters are bulsing with health
and vigor.
With the training routine over, the
only question now at issue is whether
McLarnin can plant his duke on Ross
furry chin hard enough and often
enough TO offset the Iightweight's S
Southpaw science.
Sam McLarn!n thinks he can. Sam
is Jimmy'S father, and this is his first
visit TO New York City. On the eve
of battle, he was so busy lodging
traffic and lamping the Skyscrapers
that his prediction had a confused
note.
Jimmy is in good shape" said the
head of the house of McLarnin. My,
my, 20 floors in that building on the
corner! He should win all right. and
if only them drivers would put out
their hands when they turn would
have a chance of getting out of this
town alive, He can't lose. My, my,
look at that"
Ross, on the other hand, has the
support of his mother, his managers.
the city of Chicago, and a number of
shrewd students of pugilism all over
the country. He has enough support
to keep the box office busy and the
public swapping at pasteboards like
hungry trout.
And this departments feed box
special is McLarnin. which means
that the title is as good as in Chi
eago right now.

Cards to Second Place

TINE slump of the New York
Yankees had carried
them today out OF the
= lead for the first time
since the end of April, while
the consistent Cleveland In
dians had replaced them at the
head of the American League.
Leaving home with Az game lead
over the Indians, the Yanks began to
slip both in hitting and pitching. One
OF their most dismal performances
came yesterday, when they collected
10 hits and IL walks off Buck New
som and still dropped 16-to-7 deci-
sion to the ST. Louis Browns. 1t was
the Yanks' eighth defeat in II games.
Cleveland came from behind to
beat Philadelphia, to 6, after the
AS had scored five runs in the first.
Sammy Hale's homer and Hal Tros-
ky's triple in the fifth provided the
winning runs. The triumph was the
Indians seventh in 10 home games.
Two other battles for places in the
standing remained drawn as Detroit
trimmed the Boston Red Sox, 9 to 2,
and Washington outslugged Chicago,
9 TO 6, with the aid Of circuit swats
by Buddy Myer and Joe Kuhel. The
Tigers victory enabled them to hold
third place by a single percentage
point over the Senators. while Boston
and Philadelphia remained tied for
sixth.

FROM THE PRESS BOX
BY JOHN LARDNFR.

n yEW YORK, May 23.-It's been
said of Barney Ross. the
current jewel of the Ghetto.
1 Y that he will win until Nc
Larnin hits him on the chin.
It's been said of Jimmy McLarnin,
the part-time killer from Vancouver
that he'll be led from the ring in
Madison Square Garden bowl with
his lethal right paw still cooked for
a knockout.
There seems. in other words,
to be some difference of opinion
about the winner of this welter-
weight title fight.
A week ago, the cash soothsayers
were reported to be offering to
5 on McLarnin.. Right now the
betting is even, with possibility that
the influx of bold Chicago gamblers
will tip the scales in the direction of
Mr.. Ross. The sharper layers are
asking to ; either way. which
is the only method of handling a
close thing with profit.
All this betting and ticket buying
must crafty the members of the fight
racket no little For several seasons
past the members have been wonder
ing whether they could fill a house
with anything short Of return
match between the French and Ger
man armies. Now. by the simple
process of matching a Ghetto jewel
and a part-time killer, they have
grabbed themselves, in order of i'm
portance, S25O,000, new lease on
life, and lot of prestige.
One feature of this fight is that
both contestants are wholesome
boys with nice faces.
McLarnin is a home body. with a
good golf game. a fine old father and
an honest manger.
Ross is home body. with a good
golf game, fine old mother. and two
honest managers.
McLarnin would not harm a fly
Ross would not harm a fly unless
it could make the weight and guar

Winch, his managers.

SLASH BIG CHUNK

Can't Be Worse Than Three

we'll consider their tour of the
inland sector of the American
League a signal success.
They came west the middle OF the
month six games back of the then
leading Yankees. They'll head for
the east tonight, no worse off than
three games behind the now pace-Set-
ting Indians.
OF all the clubs that we're in the
first division when the Nationals
opened their western invasion, only
the Indians have moved in better
stride than Cronin & Co. out this
way. And the Indians, with a record
of seven wins against three losses
while meeting the fasteners, have
little on the Nationals.
Washington shows card of seven
wins against four defeats for its fine
effort during the swing-a record
that has raised it from fifth place to
third.
The Athletics, who were tied with
the Tigers in third place when the
East-West clashes got under way on
the inland front, have Jared as poor
ly as the Yankees on the trip. Mack's
young band has been whipped eight
times and triumphant but three
times. The Tigers have moved at
little better than 500. taking six
games and dropping five to the eastern

How They Appear.

n ARNEY ROSS, lightweight cham
Il pion, good enough to whip Tony
Canzoneri and Billy Petrolle, will
climb through the ropes with these
advantages on his side-speed, youth,
skill, condition and three recent
fights.
McLarnin's edge rests in some 8
pounds of weight and the winning
wallop-when it lands.
McLarnin not is only a heavy
puncher, but a fast one-an accurate
shipper who can take an opening
in a flash. There are times when
you wonder just where it came from
but there it is.
Ross is in much better shape to
go Is rounds than his rival. He has
been either fighting or training for
a fight the last four months.
McLarnin hasn't fought in year
ana he hasn't worked himself into
any lather at Atlantic City.
He will have to locate his target
inside of the first eight rounds, or
find himself stepping into more and
more trouble.
The longer Ross can keep McLar-
nin's left hook muzzled, the better
chance he has. For, if there is any
outpointing to be done, this part of
the job should belong to Ross.

Stanford Day,

Stanford Day.
CATURDAY was Stanford day from
Franklin Field to Prestwick. 1t
was one of the largest days any
single university ever had in sport.
While Lyman, Dunn, Klofstock,
Blackman and others were showing
what seven men surrounded by 700
rivals could turn out, Lawson Little
was carrying the Cardinal banner at
Prestwick to the top of COLTS tallest
peak.
No one can blame James Wallace.
the carpenter, for finishing with a dull
saw against this Western avalanche.
After beating five Walker cup stars in
a row. he was in no fix to face a
barrage that was 10 under even As,
8 under par, in the final stand. That
was more than Scotland could ask
from William Wallace and Robert
Bruce together
Lawson Little's final blast comes
close to being the greatest single
days performance, considering all
circumstances, that golf ever has
known. Only skill youth, power and
rare emotional inspiration could
have produced such harvest. 1t
was uncanny and the wonder is that
James Wallace didn't rush from the
Prestwick links around the sixteenth
hole and dive into the sea.
Wallace had come forward far be-
vond his earlier dreams and hopes.
He carried the dreams and hopes OF
Scotland. He knew this, and it made
the burden no lighter. And then he
suddenly was called on to face a
murderous fusillade of brides and
pars. a blast strong enough to wreck
any two men, much less worn and
lone survivor A marvellous short
game touch hooked itself to Little's
power. and the result was a golfing
miracle.
The Stanford entry will have his
share of the big gallery at Merton
just 10 days away.
Meanwhile, Stanford's seven men at
Franklin Field, ably backed by Cali
fornia's still smaller team, proved
again how far Western supremacy
has left the East behind. Five of her
men could have won without strain
ing any ligaments. And this takes
nothing from the great running of
