PER HOUR Harry Hartz Is Second, Eddie Hearne Third and Ralph DePalma Is Fourth TO LOSE SOME GLORY Indianapolis, May 31 (By the A. P.)—Some of the glory and al- so some of the prize money that Jimmy Murphy was generally be- lieved to have gained in the speed- way races yesterday slipped away over night. Murphy was credited with holding the lead throughout the race and winning all the priz- es offered for leadérship in the various laps but Speedway offi- cials early, today announced that there had been some miscalcula- tions and that apparently Harry Hartz, another Los Angeles racer, who finished second, held the lead during part of the race and was entitled to some of the lap prizes. There was also some question as to the authenticity of Mur- phy’s record time, which had been announced as 5:17:30.79, which is 16 minutes better than the record established by Ralph DePalma in winning the event here in 1915. Officials said they expected to coniplete tabulations sometime to- jay. i Indianapolis, Ind., May 31.—Leading from start to finish, Jimmy Murphy of Los Angeles, Cal., winner of the 1921 French grand prix, carved his name deeper in the hall of motor fame yes- terday when he flashed across the wire a winner of the 500 mile auté- mobile race at the Indianapolis spoed- way bfore a record breaking crowd of 135,000 spectators, Murphy smashed all records for the distance, clipping more than 16 min- utes off the bost previous record. His time was 5:17.30:79, an average of 91.48 miles an hour, against the old record of 5:33:55:51, or 89.84 miles an hour, made by Ralple DePalma in ‘usual, almost all. if not all of the teams 1915. Murphy did something which had never been accomplished before at the Indianapolis speedway and to the knowledge of racing experts never before in a race of importance. He shot into thg lead at the start and never relinquished it during one in- stant of five hours of thrilling driving. ‘He was the first away, was first over the line at the completion of the first lap, and was first over the wire when Eddig Rickenbacker, waved the flag for his victory. Makes Three Stops. The Los Angeles driver made only threo stops. He made his first stop at 185 miles, pulling up at the pits for two minutes to change all tires and replenish the fuel tanks. With a lead of about ten miles, Murphy pull- | ed into the pits for another tire change and for more fucl and oil after he had travelled 368 miles. The assistance of his pitmen was nothing short of marvelous. It took them just 28 sec- onds to change a right front tire and provide him with fuel enough to as- sure his finishing. ; ‘Hartz Is Second. While major honors went to Mur- phy, ‘Harry Hartz, also of Los Angeles, who finished second, drove a remark- able race. (He jumped into second place sixty miles after the start, and held it throughout, always making a desperate fight to catch Murphy. Hartz’s time was 5:20:34:59, an aver- age of 93.54 miles an hour, which was also far in advance of the record. Ed- dic Hearne, a veteran racer, piloted a French car to third place in 5:22:26:06 for an average of 93.04 miles an hour, while Ralph DePalma, one of the fa- vorites, was fourth in 5:31:04:65, an average of 90.61/ miles per hou Ora ‘Haibe was fifth, in 5.31:18:44, an average of 90.56 miles an hour. Jerry Wonderlich was sixth in : 52:84, an average of 88.79 miles an hour. L. P. Fetterman finished sev- enth in 5 55:44, an average of 87.99 miles an hour. Eighth place went to Ira Val in 0:07.42, an average of 85.69 mles an hour. Tom Alley was ninth in 5:57:34:18, an average of 83.89. Joe Thomas finished tenth in :05:01:47, for an average of 82.19. Judges Confused. Confusion among the judges at times resulted in the erroneous an- nouncement shortly before the one- hundredth mile that Murpby had lost the lead and Hartz had gone into first place, —-———— | IF THIS PLAY | COMES UP | Here’s Your Decision — -—___—____—_+ If a coacher standing at third base shall run in direction of the home plate while a ficlder is making a play on a batted ball, or a thrown ball, and draws a throw to home base, the run. ner entitled to third base shall be called out by the umpire because of the coacher’s interference with or pre- vention of a legitimate play. For ex- ample, if, with none out and a run- ner on third, the batsman hits the ball to the shortstop and on fielding it he notices a player dashing for the plate. Believing it to be the runner on third the fielder throws wildly to the plate, the runner on third then scoring and the batsman reaching second. In such a case the umpire should declare out the runner on third who had scored ~ and grant the batsman only first base, sending him back to that base from second. ° There are more than 30.000 women JIMMY MURPHY, ATHLETES 0 NORTHWEST LOOK T0 BIG MEET Athletes of the Northwest, while not largely participating, have thelr eyes, this week on the annual Big Ten track and field meet at Iowa City. The athletes of the University of Minne- sota, successful in all of their dual meets of the year will carry the col- ors of the section. The rule of the con- ference that at least five men must, compete if a school enters will bar individual stars from some of the schools, but Morningside College and Des Moines University, winners of second and third in the Saturdays North Central Conference meet, have entered and probably will take part.! The meet, because it is held this! year for the first time West of. the Mississippi river, and well into the usual Missouri Valley territory will be more of a Mid-western meet than of the Missouri Valley being in the competition, This makes the meet the representative meet of the 70,000 stu- dents. attending the schools of the Big Ten proper and the 35,0000 students attending the Missouri Valley Con- ference schools or the 100,000 stud- ents of the leading Middle’ Western Schools.

By Billy Evans i Ken Williams, the spring sensation of the American League as home-run hitter extraordinary, had best look to his laurels, pee. Williams first jumped into fame by whaling out three home runs in one game. He continued’his. mad hitting spree for about 10 days, during which time he piled up 10. home. runs. ‘At. one time those 10 home runs made his performance stand out much, better than Ruth’s 1921 record, when Babe amassed a total of 59. At one League in. that..department. week in advance of Ruth’s record of last season. * Williams at once was hailed as Ruth’s successor a the home-run king of 1922. Critics and fans were united in the opinion that Ruth couldn’t spot so good a hitter as Williams a six weeks’ start. Got a Good Start The first nine home runs made by. Williams were on the Browns’ park at St. Louis. The club then’ started on its invasion of the cast, first playing a series at Detroit. i In Detroit William raised his total of homers to “10 by hitting one into the ‘right ‘field| bleachers, which is a Yeal homerun swat. ‘ ‘ In the east Williams -has failed to coritinue his home-run orgy as the “Battle of Tires” or two conferences, of schools like No- tre Dame, The Michigan Aggies and the smaller schools which are sending teams, will bring ‘to this meet an un- usual strength, this being especially true of the track events.
