EW YORK, May 27—It's a dull card the anclent or- der of fisticuffers has to offer the faithful this week. Even a championship battle on the Pacific Coast falls to save the week from the curse of mediocrity. As a matter of fact, the titular affair is one in name only. Mushy Callahan is to defend his some- what valueless junior welter- weight crown against the thrusts of Dummy Mahan at Los Angeles tomorrow night, but there hardly will be any strain on the hearts of | run-of-the-mine fans because of that fact. Chicago seems to offer the best draw- ing card of the week in the 10-round non-titular battle between Sammy Man- dell, king of the lightweights, and Louls Kid Kaplan, one- time champion of all the _feather- weights he sur- veyed. They meet in a 10-round fra- cas at Mills Sta- dium on Friday night.

By the Associated Press. NDIANAPOLIS, May 27— Twenty-four worried drivers tinkered with their cars today in the hope of making them just a bit faster before qualifying them for the 500-mile automobile {race Thursday. They had this afternoon and to- morrow in which to take their turns with a likelihood that the officials might abandon the rule |and also let them try for starting places on Wednesday It was not that the drivers feared thelr cars would fail to meet the speed- way's requirements of a rnimum speed of 90 miles an hour for 10 miles. The thought that bothered them was that there are 10 more entries than will be permitted to start and the slowest auto- matically will be dropped. The race is limited to 33 contenders. Speed greater than 110 miles an hour, therefore, was the aim of the drivers today. Most of them experimented for hours yesterday with different spark plugs and with carburetor adjustments, and four of them finally were satisfied. Johnny Seymour of Escanaba, Mich.; Peter Krels of Knoxville, Tenn.; Phil (Red) Schaefer of Dallas, Tex. and Flint, Mich., and Bob McDonogh of San Francisco qualified at speeds ranging from 111 to 114 miles per hour. Top Speed to Date 120%. | Pifteen others had qualified on Sat- urday, with a top speed of 120!2 miles an hour made by CIff Woodbury of | Chicago. | The, withdrawal of Ralph De Palma | from the contest was announced yester- day. It was said the 46-year-old pilot could not get permission of his employ- ers to participate in the long ride. Dave Evans of Indianapolis was given De Palma’s car. a new rear-drive, straight- Among the prominent drivers who | have not tried to qualify are CI{T Ber- gere, Fred Frame, Chester Gardner, | Jimmy_Gleason and Myron Stevens. Of the 19 cars qualified, all but 2 showed speed greater than 110 miles an hour. The two foreign entries, a French creation driven by Louis Chiron of Paris, and an English car guided by Jules Moriceau, also of Paris, averaged 107 and 105 miles per hour.
