7 INDIANAPOLIS June 1.-Checks
totaling more than 100000 we're
held today for Wilbur Shaw. a
dapper young Hoosier who gam
bled on his tires and gasoline supply
and won 500-mile Indianapolis Motor
Speedway race after seven attempts.
Shaw, along with other drivers in
yesterdays race-the fastest, the
closest and the hottest in history-will
attend the annual dinner for pilots to-
night to get the money he and they
won.
For Shaw there will be $40 900
check for winning the race. He will
get others, amounting to $500, for lap
prize money, and flock of others will
be awarded by automobile accessory
and gasoline companies.
Shaw, native Of Indianapolis
roared to victory in a car he designed,
built and owns shortly before 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. with Ralph Hep
burn, the Los Angeles veteran, only two
seconds behind him. Hepburn came
just that close to putting an end to the
old Speedway idea that a car never
wins two races He was driving the
same job that Louis Meyer drove tc
victory last year.

Four Beat Old Mark.

THE speed of 1850 miles an hour
was the fastest ever made in a
500-mile race. In fact, the first four
f1nishers all broke the previous speed
record Of 100000 miles an hour set
last year by Meyer.
The last 80 miles of the race were
as thrilling as any one of the 10000
spectators could want to see At 400
miles Shaw seized the lead from Bob
Swanson of Los Angeles who had been
driving for Hepburn. Ralph got back
in his own car and took out after the
fast flying Indianapolis boy.
At that time he was more than 21a
laps back, but he knew he was
through with pit stops. With Shaw,
it was question of whether the gas
supply and tires would last. Gradually
Hepburn pulled up. When Shaw went
into his next-to-last lap he was %
seconds ahead of Hepburn. At the
start of the last lap he was only IA
seconds out in front and at the finish
he was slightly more than two Sec

Meyer Finishes Fourth.

TED HORN of Los Angeles, who won
second last year, was the third
place winner. Meyer wound up in
fourth place after a masterful bit of
driving in the latter stages of the race.
Cliff Berger of Hollywood, Calf, was
nth; Fred Frame of Los Angeles,
driving relief for Bill Cummings of In
dianapolis, was sixth; Billy Devore of
Kansas City was seventh; Tony GU
lotta of Kansas City was eighth:
George Connor of San Bernardino,
Calf, was ninth and Louis Tomei Of
Portland, Greg, was tenth.
There wasn't a single serious acci-
dent until after the first six cars had
finished. Then Floyd Davis of Spring
field, ILL.,, cracked into the wall on the
northwest turn while battling to get in
the money. He and his mechanic, Dee
Toran of San Diego, Calf, were
thrown on to the track and were un-
conscious when picked up. They were
reported to be in good shape today,
however.
The blistering heat and the high
speed put IA Of the 80 starters out of
the race before the finish. The drivers
went back to the track today. but It
was just for the job of tearing down
their cars. Those who live out OF
town were getting ready to go on to
the next race or back home.

Le,vis Masters Bunting Art
By Following Batting Style
That Got Myer Title IN 1885

was the year that Buddy Myer won
bunts and Buddy Lewis watched care
fully.
The following season, 1886, found
Lewis installed as a major league
regular and beating out bunts him
self. This year, in the opinion Of
many base ball men, he ranks abso-
lutte tops at the art of bunting.
The remarkable angle to Lewis de-
velopment as bunter is that prior
to watching Myer in 1885 and trying
the trick himself in 1896 he never had
bunted in his life with intention to
beat it out!
II tried it once at Chattanooga,
confesses Buddy. Il stuck out my
bat and I missed the bail and it was
a strike. I never tried it again"
Now Buddy has American League

he steps up and little wonder The
crowd of 24,00O that witnessed the
Mats double victory over the AS were
treated to a prize example yesterday
when, with Washington trailing by

sixth inning with bunt and beat 1t
out with ease. 1t touched of a six
run rally that won, 6 to l.

year and of these IA were bunts that
he beat out. This is approximately

How many times has he failed? The
answer is twice Once he bunted toe
hard to a third baseman and was
tagged. The other time his bunt struck
the corner Of the plate and rolled di-
rectly into the pitchers hands. Four
teen hits on bunts in l6 tries is
| Buddy's record.
Lewis was barefooted kid when
| the bunt was something besides lost
art in base ball and now the boy who
never was taught to bunt until he
picked it up by himself a couple sea-
sons ago bids fair to revive the play
Your correspondent, seeking re-
liable estimate on Buddy's proficiency
asked Manager Bucky Harris of the
Washingtons who was the best buntel
in the American League.
Lewis by far" answered Bucky
simply. There's nobody close"
When you sought comparison with
all the bunters of Bucky's time, which
spans Is years of major league cam
paigning, you received none. For
when you asked who was the creates
bunter Bucky ever saw the answe
was:

Fischer, Weaver Show Good
Form as AS Are Beaten
in Double Bill.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN.
Stan CORRESPONDENT of The Star


-N ROUTE TO DETROIT, June
l. 1-Holding a three-game WIN
ming streak, Washington's
- seemingly rejuvenated base
ball firm roared toward the West to-
day with its goal firm first-dlvision
grip by the middle of the month.
The Griffs felicitated themselves for
several items, notably sweep over
the Athletics yesterday in the Memo
rial day double e-header by 6-3 and 81
counts. This, coupled with victory
in Boston, ran their streak to three
games in a row and enabled them to
climb ahead of the AS in the Amer
ican League standing.
AS they surveyed the rest of the
field today the Mats found themselves
closer to the 500 mark than at any
time in recent weeks, only two games
out of the first division, and only three
out Of third place.
Moreover-and this is development
Of vital importance-the Washingtons
are finding they finally are getting
some pitching help. Five of Manager
Bucky Harris last starting pitchers
have gone the route and turned in per-
formances ranging from adequate to
downright brilliant.

Weaver Hot in Nightcap.

THE latest slab heroes are Carl
L Fischer and Monte Weaver. The
former pitched to yesterdays 6-to-3
victory in the opener of the holiday
bill that was witnessed by $4,000. Carl
was not great, but he distributed 10
hits in far better fashion than Phlla-
delphias George Caster and he won
pretty much as he pleased.
Weaver's performance was even
better. Monte finally was given some
runs by his mates in the nightcap and
he fairly breezed to 6-to-1 triumph,
holding the AS to only half a dozen
hits
Prior to this double dose OF JOY,
Pete Appleton had rounded into some
thing resembling his 1896 form in
Boston, when he won an 1l-to-4 VIC
tory. Jimmy De Shong, the day
previous. turned in five-hlt game

ayers are more likely to cast vote
for either of this pair even if they
don't think Rolfe and Higgins will
be able to carry Buddy's glove between
them a couple of years hence.
Shortstop Voting Promises Slant.
THE shortstop balloting among the
American League pilots is likely
to be interesting and provide quite
an angle. There is frankie Crosetti to
be figured, of course, and none of the
boys has anything on him as a fielder
But the real battle is likely to be be-
tween Joe Cronin OF the Red Sox and
Lyn Larry. who now is with the Indians
Here, indeed. would be a twist of
fate. In the Fall of 1884 the Bostons
gave quarter of a million dollars in
cash and Larry for Cronin. In 1885
and 1886 the guy wasn't worth lead
quarter. Neither was Larry until he
was traded by the Mats to the Browns.
Their difficulties were contrasting
Cronin could not get started because
Of the responsibility on his shoulders
He heard s25o,ooo every time
he went to bat, and greenbacks
instead Of grounders danced in
front of his eyes in the field.
Lary did not have enough respon.
sibility. He was hail-fellow-well-me
with the Griffs until he landed in St
Louis, which is regarded by ball players
as a sort of purgatory. There he took
new grip on himself and, now that
he has been traded to the Indians
they haven't been able to get the guy
out
There isn't $3.50 900 difference be-
tween Larry and Cronin today, but il
isn't because Cronin isn't a fine bal
player.

Lewis Day Still Ahead,

FROM the lofty heights of a cham
pion batsman in 1885, Myer drop
ped to .260 hitter last year, due to
illness. This season he has battled
his way back toward the top and at
press time Gehringer boasted no great
edge over him, if any, and Myer Is
outpacing Lazzeri.
The Lewis kid probably will have to
wait for his appointment. If all the
third basemen in the American League
were lined up, and the eight guys who
make living by managing were given
choice, Lewis would be the fair
haired boy, in all probability, because
all the pilots would have the future
in the back of their minds.
Buddy, at 20, really hasn't
gotten under way. He's the
third baseman they'd take for
the rest Of the season or for 1888
and 1899 and plenty Of years
thereafter.
AS it is, with the All-Star game an
event today and forgotten tomorrow,
it is more likely that Red Role of the
Yankees or Pinky Higgins Of the Red
Sox will get the nomination. They
have more experience. and the man
