At 9:30 Friday morning the first round matches of the boys’ and girls’ | singles in the state tennis champion- ships took the courts. The tourna- ment was scheduled to open Thurs- day, but cold weather and soft foot- ing caused postponement. Oificials do not expect any trouble in complet- ‘ ing the tournament in two days be- cause of the size of the field. Last year the tournament was en- tirely rained out and as a consequence the entries this year are practically all new to the meet. Manero Reaches Golf Semi-Finals Defeats Percy Alliss 4 and 3 in| $5,000 Leeds Professional Tourney Leeds, Eng. May 22- Manero, Elmsford, N. ¥., played in a pouring rain Friday to defeat Percy |!

Three up in the first nine, Manero halved the 10th and 11th but won the 12th and 13th to be dormie five. He lost the 14th when his first shot roll- ed behind a wall and his recovery found a bunker, but he halved the next to win the match. ‘The greens were flooded and the Flayers frequently used their niblicks on the green to chip up close to the hole instead of attempting to putt. B. R. Whitcombe advanced to the semi-finals by defeating W. H. Davis, four and two. A. J. Lacey defeated George Gadd, 3 and 2, and Tom Barber conquered C. A.

ENTERED IN 500-MILE CLASSIC Billy Arnold and Russell Snow- berger to Use Last Year's Autos Memorial Day Indianapolis, Ind., May 22.—Back- yard ani crossroads automotive en- gineers nave swelled the entry list for the 500-mile Memorial Day race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway to | the largest total in the history of this classic. New specifications, inaugurated last year and made even more elastic this year, have proved an incentive for cbscure motor builders with heads iull of ideas but with weak Bank bal- ances. Now it is possible for embryo race stars to take any stock car and for a tew hundred dollars make it a con- tender for money and honors in the greatest auto race in America. Take Russell Snowberger for in- stance. The Philadelphia chauffeur who piloted Duesenbergs and Millers for many a year decided to build his own car last year. known brand of\stock car. He built the chassis and body, bought tires, paid all his expenses | 14! and reported at the starting line the morning of the race, after qualify- ing at the amazing speed of 105 miles an hour, with a total cost account of $1455.00. Makes Good Showing “Most of the money I spent was on the body and chassis,” Snowberger explains. “I have been working on fine racing motors for many year, so that the only expense of the motor, was the Since I already had that knowledge and experience it really didn’t cost much.” Snowberger placed his homemade car in eighth place in the big race Then he competed in eight other races, finishing in seven of them second five times. In all he won approximately $10,000 in prize money. “The only expense there was on my motor the entire racing season after I left Indianapolis was $1.25 for a cylinder head gasket,” says Snow- berger. “It really was a successful 1acing season for me. “Now I have my car at Indianapolis ready for the race next month. It's all ready to run and it is about six miles an hour faster than it was last year due principally to the fact that I can use a carburetor for every two cylinders instead of one carburetor for each four cylinders as in last year's specifications. Winner Cost $25,000 “You have to give these motors gasoline to drink if you want them to drive the cars faster,” he declar- | ¢; ed. Billy Arnold's victory car last\ year cost approximately $25,000 as it flew away from its pole position at the start of the race. It was an eight- cylinder, front wheel drive Miller- Hartz Special. Harry Miller original- ly built the car, but many innovations were put in working order by Hartz, himself a former racing star and -| rated as one of the finest miechanics in racing. “It was money in the bank for us to have that much money tied up in that car, though,” laughs Arnold. “We won nearly $50,000 with it the tirst race and approximately a like sum in following events during the Season. Yes sir, that baby paid divi- cends. “Then we have it again this year. | Ruth And I don’t think there will be many koys throwing rubber in my face as I flash around the track in it this year. Maybe they will. But I'll cer- tainly be surprised if they do.” But Snowberger had more fun and amusement with his own homemade moneymaker than almost anybody in the race last year.

The trial heats Friday were the be- ginning of the end of Big Ten com- petition for stars whose names have been listed in the championship sum- maries for the past three years. Michigan’s greate:t loss will be Eddie Tolan, who will compete for the Wolverines in the championship mect for the last times Saturday. The tiny negro, recognized holder of the 106 yard dash mark of :09.5, was a big favorite to win both dash events. Illinois will send into action for the last time Lee Sentman, its crack hurdler, and Verne McDermont, hold- er of the conference pole vault record of 13 feet, 10% inches. Wisconsin loses Captain Bill Henke, sprinter and quarter-miler, and Sammy Behr, who has dominated Big Ten shotputters since he became eligible for varsity competition in 1929. Ed Gordon, broad jumper, and L. D. Weldon, defending champion in the -avelin, were ready to make their final efforts for Iowa, while Chicago was to see the last of Dale Letts, a great middle distance runner. Tom- my Warne, Northwestern’s injury-be- set pole vaulter, also was down for his final try in the meet. Michigan, with 11 titles to its cred- it, six of them in the past 1° years, ;| was frvored to repeat its triumph of last year, with Ohio State, Wisconsin and Illinois as its most dangerous opposition.

Canada and U. S. Both Win First Round Cup Tilts Shields Defeats Wright in Straight Sets; Wood Loses to Montreal Star Montreal, Que., May 22.—()—Can- ada and the United States entered the second day of their Davis Cup tennis contest Friday with one victory apiece, The doubles, only event on Friday’s program, were to pit the young Amer- ican combination of Frank Shields and Sidney B. Wood, Jr., against Dr. Jack Wright and Marcel Rainville of Montreal. The final two singles matches will be played Saturday. Shields sent the United States forces off to a flying start in the opening singles match.Thursday when he whipped Wright in straight sets, 8-6, 6-2, 6-2, but the little French Ca- nadian, Rainville, evened the count by conquering Wood in a five-set duel, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 2-6, 6-2, to register the first victory any Canadian ever has scored over the United States in Davis Cup competition. Canada has been playing cup tennis since 1913.

If they win both games, the 5 |tace will be over. Retains Batting Eye In Semi-Pro Leagues Dteroit, May 22.—()—Bobby Veach, one of Detroit’s baseball immortals, is still playing the game. Veach left the Tigers and the majors several years ago and stayed out of the game for some time. Re- cently, however, the lure caught up| @- with him again and he joined a De- troit cemi-pro team, the Regals. In his first game with the Regals he slammed a two-base hit and followed through with a single. Although slowed up because of his advanced age, he still uses the same free and easy swing and knocks ’em @ mile. 'S HARD TO FIND A MONEY LENDER. WHO DOESNT TAKE INTEREST IN OHS WORKene EQUESTRIAN ree LA Athletics Make ‘Clean Sweep of Battles on Tour Yankees Hold Second Position in American Loop; Rain | Stops Play in National | (By The Associated Press) “The triumph of the east” is the only possible title for the story of the tirst round of intersectional play in the two major baseball leagues. Only one eastern club failed to Teach at least a 500 average in its games against the west in the round which wound up Thursday with three more eastern victories out of four American League games and a com- Plete washout for the National League. The Philadelphia Athletics must come first in recounting the tale of eestern triumphs. The A’s made a clean sweep of their 11 games in the west, climbing to the top of the Amer- ican League. They have won 13 suc- cessive games, pounding the Detroit Tigers for a final triumph Thursday, 12 to 5. Washington also did some import- ant climbing in its western tour, Gowning the Chicago White Sox 4-2 Thursday to make it nine victories in 11 games. The New York Yankees, holding second place just ahead of Washing- ton, won seven and lost two. They completed the rout of Cleveland Thursday taking a 7-6 decision after Babe Ruth's fifth homer of the sea- son had given them a good start. Cleveland failed to win one of its 11 games against eastern clubs and Thursday's defeat was the 12th straight. Rip Collins of St. Louis cost the Boston Red Sox a chance to gain an even break in their 12 games in the west. Collins held the Sox to four hits to take a 2 to 1 decision. Boston finished ahead of all the western cubs with five games won and seven lost. Detroit, which split with the Yankees and took a series from Bos- ton, led the westerners with eight de- feats. St. Louis won three games and lost six while Chicago scored three victories to seven defeats. In the National League the count tor 32 intersectional games was 20- 12 in favor of the east with the New York Giants in the lead. All games Thursday were postponed due to rain and cold. One Year Ago Today—Batting rec- ords toppled as the Yankees took two games from the world champion Ath- letics by scores of 10 to 1 and 20 to 13. Ruth hit two homers in the first game and one in the second, making six circuit blows in two days. Gehrig hit three home runs in the second con-! test, driving in eight runs to tie the| American League record. Ten four- base blows werg crashed in the pair of games. Five Years Ago Today— Roland Locke, University of Nebraska sprint marvel, smashed the world record for the 220-yard dash by stepping the distance in 20.7 seconds in the Mis- souri Valley track and field meet. Earlier in the games, Locke tied the existing world record of 9 3/5 seconds in the century, Ten Years Ago Today—Jack Demp- Sey, world’s heavyweight champion, eased up in training activites for his title fight with Georges Carpentier, the orchid man of France, because two of his spar mates quit camp at Atlantic City, declaring the champ’s rough handling too much for them. if Hi Best Girl Sees Hole-in-One Shot in Rane mee emeeee Tampa, Fla. May 22.—(P)— Here's a break for you—making a hole-in-one while the best girl looks on. It happened to Rudolph Bat- son, -who is 12, and a student in junior high school here. Young Batson and his mother were playing his particular girl friend and her mother on a mu- nicipal course here when the foursome reached a short, 120- yard hole. Young Batson selected a mashie for his tee-shot. The ball arched up and disappeared. It was found in the cup. Did Rudolph strut?

The ascent was accomplished Thursday when Columbus defeated Louisville, 8 to 6, while St. Paul was idle because of wet grounds. Man- ager Harry (Nemo) Leiboid, with the aid of the Cardinals, has assembled an extremely able organization. In the out field are Pid Purdy, Smith and Moore. The infield includes Pat Crawford, Leon Bedore, Eddie Delker and Elmer Yoter, and after a some- what aimless start, the Red Birds have won 17 games while dropping 12. Kenneth Ash pitched the whole game Thursday and although rapped for 10 hits, managed to outlast young Ed Walsh, Guy Wiliams and Ken Penner. Mike Kelley's improving Minneap- olis club scored its second straight victory over Kansas City to reach the .500 mark, and went into a tie with Milwaukee for fourth place. The Millers managed only five hits off four Kansas City hurlers, but made three of them go for four runs in the second and a 4 to 3 victory. Griffin hit a home run with two on during the rally. Dutch Henry gave the Blues 13 hits, but they couldn't clus- ter them. Indianapolis outhit Toledo, 14 to 12, but the Mud Hens did more good with theirs and won, 9 to 6. Battalino and LaBarba Meet in Titular Contest Present Featherweight Cham- pion at Short End of 8 to 5 Betting Odds for Fight ‘New York, May 22.—(?)—Christoph- er (Bat) Battalino of Hartford, Conn., defends his world’s featherweight championship against Fidel Labarba in a 15-round bout in Madison Square Garden tonight. The betting fra- ternity quotes 8 to 5 that he loses. For some time after he won the 126-pound title from Andre Routis of France, Battalino was labelled a “cheese champion” by most fistic ob- servers. He dropped one non-title {ight after another, some of them to second-raters. But last December he surprised the boys by handing Kid Chocolate, then hailed as the uncrowned feather- weight king, a decisive beating in a titular battle. Even this showing, however, has not sufficed to make him as much as an even choice against the Cagey Labarba who some years ago resigned a world’s flyweight crown in favor of some intensive studying at Stanford.
