DETROIT, May 31.-Here in the
lair of the Tigers, Washington S
perked up baseball club hopes to
accomplish a tightening of the
American League race over the week
end and wedge itself into contention
at Detroit's expense. Now five and
a half games off Detroit's pace, the
Mats have an opportunity to elevate
themselves in 4-game series which
opened today.
This is series which is vital to
the Mats despite It's early season
aspect. A respectable showing
against Detroit could give the club
o tonic and refresh the outlook for
the future, but three or four wal
lopings by the Tigers would sink the
Mats so low in the second division
they might never recover from the
blow.
Washington gets a tremendous
break In that it. won't be required
to swing at the southpaw pitching
of Hal Newhouser, who toiled yes
terday. Against the Tigers today
Manager OSsie Bluege was to dis
patch Walter Masterson with his
best wishes.
Ray Scarborough, who has ope-
rated strictly in relief roles thus far
this season, will be granted a chance
to start tomorrow, with Early Wynn
q likely co-worker in the double
header.
Mats Trim Red Sox Twice.
Sid Hudson, who was slated to re-
turn to work at Detroit, made an
earlier appearance yesterday at
Griffith Stadium as the Mats twice
battered the Boston Red Sox, 1876
and 5-3, before an appreciative crowd
of 26,6e3. Hudson, idle since May IL
due to pulled muscles in his left side,
relieved Chick Pieretti in the first
game and received credit for his
fourth victory.
It was a gratifying afternoon for
the Mats, who have won five of their
last seven games. They mauled Tex
Hughson and MA Parnell for II hits
In the opener while capitalizing on
four Red Sox errors and made the
most Of their five hits in the second
game as Mickey Haefner achieved
his first win.
Haefner wasn't around at the fin
ish. He was supplanted by trusty
Tom Ferrick in the eighth inning
and the reliable reliever insured
Mickey's triumph. although he
yielded run on three singles in the
ninth inning.

Auto Triumph With
Near Record Pace
By The Asseeia,sd Press

INDIANAPOLIS. May s1.--Mauri
Rose, Il, Of Chicago, . confident
little guy with 1 black mustache and
% big pipe. was down In the books
today as q second-time winner In
the 3lst annual 500-miie race at
Indianapolis Motor Speedway. but
the first two places should have
been labeled Lou Moore entry"
Rose and Bill Holland of Bridge
port, Conn.,. the No. 2 finisher, drove
identical new four-cylinder cars
owned by Lou Moore Of Ventura,
Calf, and called the Blue Crown
Spark Plug Specials.
Holland appeared headed for cer-1
tain victory in his first speedway
start as the last few laps were
reeled of yesterday, then Moore's
pit crew waved q blackboard marked
"Ezy" and Rose passed Holland
with only II miles to be run. After
ward there was loud talk behind
the garage doors and Holland looked
definitely unhappy.
Meant to Signal Both Cars.
Rose, going into the winners pen,
said he won only because Holland
was slowed by engine trouble at the
end. But Moore said there was no
engine trouble-that he meant tol
signal both cars to take it easy be-
cause they were well ahead of the
field and he wanted them to finish.
The race, second fastest since the
holiday event was inaugurated in
1911, cost the life Of william
(Shorty) Canton, veteran India
napolis driver who finished second
to Billy Arnold In 1880. Canton,
43-year-old bachelor and used car
dealer, crashed into the wall coming
out of the southwest turn, trying to
avoid a mixup that occurred when
Holland skidded into the grass
along the inside Of the track.
Cantlon was the only driver In
jured in a series Of Tskids and colli-
sions and his death was the first at
the speedway since Floyd Roberts
was killed in 1899.
The amazing Ted Horn of Pater-
son, N. j., driving the Maserati in
which Wilbur Shaw twice won the
race. claimed third money. He
never has taken the trophy. but his
methodical driving has placed him
among the top four finfshers in
eight straight "500s."
Bergere Finishes Fourth.
Cliff Bergere OF Toledo, Ohio, So
year-old veteran of Is Indianapolis
races, took fourth place.
Jimmy jackson OF Indianapolis,
second last year in his first 800"
finished fifth. Rex Mays, Glendale,
Calf, was sixth; Newcomer Walt
Brown, Massapequa. N. Y. seventh;
Cy Marshall, Jacksonville, Fla,
eighth, Fred Agabashian, another
first-timer, from Albany, Calf. =,
ninth, and Duke Dinsmore, Osborne,
Ohio, tenth.
Only 10 cars Of the 30 starters
still were running at the end. Les
Anderson, Portland, Greg, and Pete
Romcevich, Gary, Ind, both making
their first starts, were far back. but
still coming when Starter Seth Klein
waved them to the garages.
Roses winning speed was 116.338
miles an hour, second only to Floyd
Roberts 117.2 In 1888. The seven

NEW YORK, May 31.-Minus the
fanfare usually associated with the
Kentucky Derby and the. Freak
ness -and with Faultless favored In
stead of Phalanx-the Belmont
Stakes, third jewel in racing's triple
crown, will be run at. Belmont Park
today.
Although New York's millions
generally regard the $1o0. .000- added
stake as "just another horse race" "
close to $1,000 turf fans were ex-
pected to jam the spacious Long
Island track to see the mile-and-
one-half race, compared to the Der
by's mile and one-quarter and the
Preakness' mile and tllree-six-
teenths.
Although he ran third by two
heads to Jet Pilot and Phalanx on
a muddy Derby track at Churchill
Downs, Faultless' impressive tri-
umphs in the Preakness at Pimlico
and in the Withers Mile at Belmont
brought the recognition to Warren
Wright's Bull Lea colt as the best
of this years 5-year-olds.
Field Of Nine to Run.
Faultless never has run the mile
and one-half, but Trainers Jimmy
and Ben Jones seem to have the
knack of conditioning a horse for
any distance, and Faultless prob
ably will be an even-money choice
In the field of nine. The colt already
has Won at five different tracks this
year and again will be ridden by
Doug Dodson.
G. v. Whitney's Phalanx, the dis
appointment of the Derby, Freak
ness and Peter Pan, may find the
longer route more to his liking and
may benefit from change of riders.
Eddie Arcaro, astride the PLATE colt
in the Derby and Preakness, has
been shifted to Phalanx's stable
mate, Khyber Pass, while Ruperto
Donoso will ride Phalanx.
Entry Rated at 5, to 2.
Khyber Pass and Phalanx will run
as an entry and are rated a 5-to-2
second choice in the early odds.
TaiIspfn, the Greentree Stable s
surprise winner of the Peter Pan
Handicap, was listed as third choice
at 6-1, with Walter Chrysler's
Brabancon, who has been finishing
second in most of his starts, tabled
at 81.
The remainder Of the field, VIII
liam Heliss Lady's Ace, William
Woodward's Hyblaze, Mrs. Robert
Gerry's Young Peter and Bayard
Sharp's Tide Rips, were regarded

Detroit is vulnerable around second base where
weak-hitting feeble fielding Eddie Mayo is per-

adds little to the Tigers attack. 1t is defensivey,
