THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE 23-YEAR-OLD LOUIS MEYER WINS $35,000; Los Angeles Youth Thrills | 140,000 Spectators in Last Thirty Miles AVERAGE WAS _ 99.482 Only Four of 29 Drivers Shared in Lap Prizes; Sou- der Challenges Meyer BY CHARLES W. DUNKLEY Associated P: Sports Writer Indianapolis, Jumping from overnight, Louis rt, boyish look- ing Los Angeles vouth, today found himself acclaimed the newest hero of the automobile racing world. This 23 year old driver thrilled a crowd of more than 140,000 spec- tators by coming from behind in the last 30 miles of the race to win the 500-mile classic at the Indiana-| yesterday, He to victory in the finish ever enacted . He rode the entire “distance without relief and made only one stop. His time was 5:01:- .75, an average of 99.482 miles an hour. 2 Meyer today gave credit for his driving kill to Frank Elliott, a famous racing star of other years. “Elliott taught me all I know about race driving,” Meyer said. “You know | worked for him for two years a7 a mechanic.” “Boy, I'm happy.” “I thought I would win after 160 laps. I had worked pretty well into the race then, although I had only faint hopes of overtaking Jimmy Gleason and Tony Gullota. 1 just sat tight and let the old wagon buzz along, and hoped for the best.” Meyer’s victory was achieved aft- er only sixty laps of previous rac- ing experience on the Indianapolis course. He relieved Wilbur Shaw in the race last year for that length of time. His previous racing ex- perience was gained on the Ascot speedway alifornia. His pres- ent home is in Los Ange'es. Only four of the 29 drivers shared in the lap prizes which were offered to the driver leading the field in each of the first 144 laps. Jimmy Gleason, the revised records showed today, captured the Lion’s share of the prizes, winning $6,700 for having led in 67 laps. Leon Duray led the race for the first 53 laps and later by five additional laps and took $5,800. The sum of $1,900 went to Babe Stapp and $500 to Tony Gullota. George Souders, the one time Purdue university student, winner of the race a year ago gave Mey- er a dangerous challenge and was a close up third yesterday, Louis Moore’s car finishing second. | Moore's tiny racer with Louis Schneider at the wheel as a relief of the race a ytar ago, gave Mey- er at the finish, with Souders about 5 miles behind. | ,, Fifteen of the original 29 cars | finished.

Unheralded California Yo uth Wins Indiana THURSDAY, MAY 31, 1928 polis Memorial Classic Bismarck Repeats Two-run Victory Over Mandan Club Yesterday Sets Record see Eric Krenz, Brawny Stan- ford Son, Hurls Shot to New College Mark | UPHILL GAME Timely Hitting and Ability to Take Advantage of Breaks Wins Game BOARDMAN IMPRESSIVE Churchill Changes Lineup in Wholesale Fashion; Strike- outs Are Few The Bismarck Grays won the sec- ond game of the season from the Mandan-State Training school _out- fit yesterday afternvon on the Fair- grounds diamond at Mandan. The score was 9 to 7. Trailing the Mandan club by a count of 1 to 6 after the third in- ning, Churchill’s gang came back to score one run in the fifth, four in the sixth, and three runs in the seventh, holding the gang across the river to one run during the last six innings. Hitting in the pinches and taking advantage of Mandan errors and the breaks of the game was re- sponsible for the Bismarck win. Sagehorn Best Hitter Sagehorn did the best sticking for the Bismarck club, snaring two hits in three trips to the plate, but Mohn, Lenaburg, Boardman, Simon- son, and McLeod were abie to pole out hits when hits were needed to win the game, Mandan outhit the local aggregation nine to seven, but the Bismarck hitting came more timely. Geston, with two hits one of which was a home run which scored Newcomer in the second, and McMahon, also with two hits one of which was a_ three-bagger which brought Johnson and Heidt in ahead Eric Kranz Stanford athlete, heaves the shot for a new record of 50 feet, 1 inch, in the finals of the track and field championships at Harvard ium. KANSAS CITY NOW IN LEAD Blues Beat Brews in Double Header While St. Paul and Minneapolis Split (By The Associated Press) Kansas City was the sole tenant re- siding in the American association's most aristocratic flat today .and it held a two-game lease. The dispute over the league leader- Hoosier Cage Head ship between Kansas City, Milwaukee and St. Paul was settled temporarily, at least, yesterday when the Blues defeated Milwaukee in both ends of the holiday’s double-header, while St. Paul split its twin bill with Minne- apolis. Today, Kansas City was two games in front of its closest rivals, Indian- apolis, while Milwaukee and St. Paul were tied for third and fourth places. The Blues were the only ones in the circuit to take two games yesterday. Indianapolis came from behind with a three run rally in the eighth inning to take the opener from Louis” ville, 4 to 2, but in the nightcap were unable to solve Wilkinson’s curves, succumbing, 8 to 3. Minneapolis also played an uphill battle to win the morning game from | M St. Paul, 9 to 7. With the Saints leading 7 to 3, the Millers rallied in their half of the ninth inning, push- ing over six runs for victory. In the second, St. Paul scored in every in- ning except the first, taking the de- cision, 15 to 4. Toledo defeated Columbus, 4 to : 2, in the first game, but the second 1G was called because of rain in the fourth inning. ‘ Baseball Team at By The Associated.

Deducting his handicap of six strokes, Cook’s final net score was 68. Prizes were given only for the net scores of the tournament, making Carl Heupel, Judge L. E. Birdzell, and Martin S. Hagen second, third, and fourth respectively. Twenty members o the club took part in the tourney. Following are the scores of the prize-winners: Mott’s Home Team Has Ten Games on Schedule to Date Mott, N. D., May 31.—Under the management of D. R. Williams, Mott is building up a baseball team of local talent which has a good list of games already scheduled and which promises to give a good ac- count of itself. The list of players who have been practicing in prepar- ation for the eries of games are H. Ideker, C. Ideker, D. G. Stubbins, Chub.

Tex Rickard was forced into numerous postponements in his first attempt the beginning of the game with Mc- Leod_in the box. In three innings the Mandanites garnered six runs, while the best Bismarck had done was score once in the first inning. Beginning the fourth inning, Charlie Boardman, veteran known through- out the state for his good pitching and his heavy sticking, replaced the high school coach in the box. This change in the Gray lineup meant the end of Mandan’s scoring, except for a scratch run in the seventh. Charlie’s soupbone was stiff, and needed nursing, but he managed to get the ball across the plate enough times to hold his opponents at bay. His single in the sixth, scoring two runners, aided Bismarck materially in winning and was really the be- ginning of a four-run rally. Heidt did well in the box for the Morton county crew, but he allowed one man a base on balls and three hits in succession in the sixth, permitting the Grays to rally in four counters. Kempf did well in the box after he replaced Heidt at the beginning of the ninth, allowing one hit which failed to result in a score. Comeback Ability Helped Bismarck’s ability to come from behind and to score in pinches un- nerved the Mandan team, which ex- Sennen a similar setback at the a nds of the Grays earlier in the season. Churchill’s nine proved it- self especially adapt ‘at taking ad- vantage of the breaks of the game, while Mandan blew up after a break had gone against them. Boardman with his relief pitching and his _rally-starting single was undoubtedly the most impressive figure on the diamond yesterday, although Geston, in spite of his two errors, Nagel, Heidt, and McMahon performed quite creditably. Simonson, who won the game for his team against Mercer last week- end, was disappointing with the bat, the lanky catcher getting only one hit in five trips to the plate. Kelly worked exceptionally well behind the bat, however, before being re- placed by McLeod. Lenaburg, Mohn, and Sagehorn did their bit for the ‘big drive by scoring two ruhs each. icLeod, catching, made a_ perfect throw from home to second in the last of the ninth to catch McMahon for the last out of the gam the Mandan man was attem| to steal. Eddie Sailer was ‘slightly hurt when McMahon slid into him on this play and was unable to get to his feet and leave the field until most of the spectators had left the grandstand. a Charchill Changed Tom 1 janager urchill’s psycho! in changing his lineup was Peorane partly responsible for winning the game, six of his nine men playing more than one position during the game. McLeod stole all honors by playing three positions, pitcher, right field, finally catcher. Tobin, Lenaburg, Boardman, Simon- son, and Sagehorn all played two positions.

EXPLAINING FORCE PLAY Please explain the exact meaning of a force play. If there is a runner on first and the batsman grounds to the first baseman, who touches that base, retiring the batsman, is the run- ner on first compelled to run to second? - eee A force play in baseball hinges can never be a force play except entirely on the batsman. There can never be a force play except when the basei runners must advance in order to make room for the batter who has hit the ball. A In the above play, the runner on first, according to good baseball, must start for second the moment the batter grounds to the first base- man. He must vacate that base so the batsman can occupy it in case he should beat the play. However, the moment the first baseman fielded the ball and retired the batsman at first, the force was removed. The runner originally on first could continue on to second, if he so desired. Incidentally, he had the right to return to first if he so de- sired and could reach that base without being touched with the ball. If he elected to continue on to sec- ond, the mere arrival of the ball at that base in advance of him did not retire the runner; it was necessary to touch him out. The retiring of the batsman at first removed the force and made it a touch play. Renden 2, Newcomer, Cadoo.

Record-breaking form- ances are anticipated. - Hamilton Simons, Fargo high school’s brilliant sprinter, who al- ready this spring has set a new state record in the 220-yard dash and a new record at Carleton Col- lege for the century, will be No Dakota’s one entry in the National Interschol: track and field meet to be si at the University of Chicago iday and Saturday, ac- cording to an announcement re- cently made by Charles Kimball, Midget_mentor. The Midget, who is probably the most outstanding: sprinter in the Northwest this year, is serving his fourth year on a Fargo track team, and in view of the impressive per- formances which he has made this season it is strange that the young- ster had not earned a track letter until ke turned in his first vi at Grand Forks May 19. rth | The scores were 4 to 3 and MAJORS TAKE TO ROAD FOR MORE WARFARE Dozen League Teams on Edge for Second Siege of Inter- sectional Games (By The Associated Press) Twelve major league teams were on edge today for get-away skir- mishes to clear the decks for the season’s second siege of intersec- tional warfare, scheduled to begin at some points along the baseball front as early as tomorrow. The Reds and the Cubs already were on their way east, while the Giants and the Robins lay idle, awaiting a brief resumption of their intra-city strife at the polo grounds tomorrow. Six teams won twice yesterday. The Reds nicked the Cubs twice only by showing the greatest competitive spirit. There was a 6 to 0 victory over Charlie Root in the morning behind the fine pitching of the vet- eran Eppa Jeptha Rixey. In the afternoon Ford’s single in the tenth peeled the winning margin in a to 1 victory and sent the Reds | east with a lead of three full games. Pirates Sag Lower The crippled Pirates sagged low- r into the second division after the Cardinals scored victories, 10 to 1 and 4 to 3. The Boston Braves walloped the Phillies 5 to 3 and 11 to 5. Horns- by had two homers. One clinched the first game in the tenth inning, and the other sent the Braves away to a start of three runs in the sec- ond encounter. The Giants rolled the Robins over by 9 to 1 in the morning. The score was tied at 2 to 2 in the afternoon when it rained. 5 Washington defeated the Yankees 5 to 0. Garland Braxton, a Yankee cast-off, held the Hugmen to three hits, while the Senators made merry with Young Al Shealy. Bobby Reeves made a home run in the sixth after Rice had singled. In the afternoon the Yaaks started to make amends by pounding Horace Ligenbee for seven runs in less than two innings, but rain ended the contest. Athletics Beat Boston By defeating the Red Sox, 8 to 1 and 9 to 2, the Athletics gained one and one-half games on the Yankees, but remained seven games to the rear.

D., May 81.—Playing its first game of "the season ‘Sunday at ictory| Elgin, the Mott baseball team de- feated Elgin in a game which was 1 closer than the 6 to 3 score would indicate. Stubbins, playing first base for Mott, made the only three-base hit of the game, although two of his team mates, Osborne and R. Gilbert, succeeded in smashing out two and one two-base hits respectively, Toney, of the Elgin team, secured two two-baggers. Weinberger, Mott hurler, had very little advantage over his opponent, alfowing ten hits to McLean’s elev- on. However, Weinberger struck out eight men while the most the Elgin pitcher could whiff was three. Elgin filled the bases at three different times during the game, but each time the Mott nine stiffened and left the three men on bases while they retired the side. Composing the Mott team were: Chalmers, ss; C. Ideker, 2b; R, Osborne, 3b; E. Weinberger, p; Mil- ler, rf; R. Gilbert, If; H. Ideker, cf; D. Stubbins, 1b; E.
