1t was natural to assume the quiet
center-felder would taper off in his
hitting. After all, it was distinct
shock to find him bouncing in and
out of the league lead as recently
as two weeks ago, and few folk were
harboring the idea he would remain
among the exclusive 400 set.
But Spence seemingly at the time
was relishing everything the leagues
pitchers were showing him. The

and frequently embarrassed. for
Stan was hitting to right, left and

Fall Predicted.
Here was .232 hitter OF l941 pac-
ing the pack. 1t was attributed to
everything from his playing regu-
larly to having his teeth fixed
Through it all, though. less hysterical
baseball men were saying he'd find
his level-that he was batting far
over his head.
The jolt came through injury.
First, Stan damaged his back but
continued to play and hit prolific
ally despite being taped heavily.
Then came charley horse and the
spectacular Mr. Spence was forced
to park on the bench.
When Spence healed sufficiently
to resume play, he had lost the
touch. In his last 10 games, or since
returning to active duty, Spence has

astounding average of AIT has to-

Entries for The Evening Stars
City of Washington tennis tourna-

at the sports department of The

where the affair will open week
from tomorrow.
Meanwhile, the women's tourna-
ment, tentatively scheduled to get
underway tomorrow, has been post
poned until June Is. Inability Of

advisable holding the tournament

open to proceed with tournament
plans.
Tennis Balls Scarce.
Girl and junior boy competition,
however, has been deferred until
further notice upon the advice of
sporting goods manufacturers, who
are doing their utmost to cooperate
with all officials of the game to pro-
mote as many established tourna-
ments as possible, but who are re-
luctant to make any promises re-
garding future deliveries of balls.
Entrance fee for mems singles
will be 81. but only two balls will
be allowed each set instead of the
customary three. This, of course,
is in the interest of rubber economy,
and players will be asked to play
the spheres as long as possible. The
price of tennis balls also is con-
siderably above last years level. and
reduction in the number OF balls
allotted per set also will help keep
the entry fee from rising.

society-Market Wise, Attention and
Our Boots-will try to repeat their
achievement today In Belmont
Parks Suburban Handicap, where
Warren Wright's long-tailed 3-year-
old king of 1941 is the favorite.
The Suburban annually is New
York's biggest attraction and it is
predicted that $4,000 fans will see
Whirlaway seek revenge. 1t is not
unlikely that the crowd will create
an American betting record wiping
out the S2096,613 mark set at the
1926 Kentucky Kerby.
Dozen Stars Entered.
Twelve of the country's best
horses in the handicap division have
been named for the race, with
Whirlaway drawing top weight of
129 pounds. Both Attention and
Market Wise will carry 124, while
Our Boots is down for ia.

Right now the little horse with
the long tail has S37f.8l1 in the

should the Wright choice triumph.
Whirlaway hasn't raced since he
won the Dixie Handicap at Pim-

500-MiIe Auto Race
One Of Wars Great
Sports Casualties
Many Who PiIoted Cars
In Memorial Day Test
Now in Defense Work
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
INDIANAPOLIS, May 30-At the
stroke of 10 am. today SO of the
worlds fastest race cars roared-
oopps!-that's not the story from
Indianapolis today.
This is 1942-a war year-and the
story is that there is no 50O-mile
automobile race at the speedway.
For the first time in "a years In
dianapolis enjoyed quiet Memorial
Day. And automobile race fans
only could talk about how Mauri
Rose came from far behind to win
last years race. Or perhaps-for the
oldtimers-how Ralph De Palma
car stalled less than two laps short
of victory in 1912.
Race Called OFF Months Ago.
The race, one of the first sports
casualties of the war, was called of
months ago.
And so the 2la-mile oval track
the huge inclosure and the mile
long grandstands were sadly de-
serted.
The only persons around were
golfers on the speedway course. nine
holes of which are inside the track
Instead of the roar of motors and
the cheers of more than 100000
spectators, only an occasional shout
of Fore" arose.
Downtown Indianapolis appeared
equally strange-for Memorial Day
Instead of swollen traffic there was
only the light holiday movement.
There were no barkers on street
corners. Policemen worked their
normal eight-hour shifts and only
skeleton newspaper stats were on
duty.
Most Of the drivers who ordinarily
would be whirling around the track
at close to 2 miles a minute are in
defense industries.
Drivers Work on War Planes.
Rose-Floyd Davis, co-winner last
year: Harry Hartz, Billy Devore and
several others work in an Indiana
polls war plane motor factory. Rus
sell Snowberger is in Detroit fac
tory. Shaw has charge of airplane
business for tire company and Rex
Mays is employed in a California
airplane factory.
When, If ever, another race will
be run, is something no one knows.
A. w. Rickenbacker, brother of the
speedway president, Col. E. v. Rick
enbacker, and now the speedway's
one-man staff, only could shake his
head sadly and say: mo one knows
when they'll be finished"
