By BILL BAUCHER
Central Press Sports Editor
NEW YORK. May 29—The horse
had his day in America May 2 at
Churchill Downs. Automobiles have
theirs tomorrow at Indianapolis where
50 motor jockeys will drive shiny lit
tle juggernauts over a 500-mile stretch
in pursuit of gold and glory.
It will be remembered that in the
Kenucky Deby one of the horses,
Granville, unseated his rider. Sim
ilar incidents have occurred at the
Speedway with distressing, sometimes
tragic, results. When an automobile
going better than 100 miles an hour
throws a man, it isn’t quite like fall
ing off a horse.
There is a popular refined notion
that the crowds which go to Indian
apolis annually on Memorial day are
there chiefly to see blood spilled and
bones broken. Barney Oldfield, who
got his start by smoking cigars and
driving 130 miles an hour, recently
put the rap on the race by calling it
a useless sacrifice, to speed. It was his
argument that automobiles have bsen
so nearly perfected that there is no
scientific need fbr the Memorial day
experiments.
Yes, It’s a Race!
Aside from the terrible and the
scientifc there is a side to the race
which Barney may have overlooked.
That Is the sporting side. After all.
it’s a race. Last year 135,000 people
paid to see it. The greatest crowd for
a single sporting event' in America
assembles annually for the pisten
derby. To say they all go there to see
men smack walls is nq more convinc
ing than to guess that the crowd that
goes to Louisville wants to see boys
fall off horses.
When Rome was in its glory men
drove chariots. Down through the
years there always have been daring
souls ready to compete with vehicles
that travel faster than humans can
run. Any Sunday driver will bear wit
ness.
Except for the aibsence of pari
mutuel machines under the grand
stands, the Indianapolis race is not
unlike the Louisville classic. The
crowd has its favorites.
They. Like Cummings
’’Wild Bill” Cummings is picked by
the experts on past performances to
repeat his 1934 victory this year, when
Kelly Petillo won the- race, and S3O
- prize money, Wild Bill ran third.
The record prize money at Indian
apolis. by the way, is $50,150, earned
by Billy Arnold, six years ago, his
* irst prize being augmented by
$17,000 for winning laps and $13,150
from accessory dealers.
Cummings must be given rating as
the Brevity in this year’s race. Prob
ably the Bold Venture of the motor
derby is Rex Mays, 23-year-old champ
ion from the Pacific coast. Last year
he won pole position at Indianapolis
with the fastest qualifying time 120-
736 miles an hour. This year he re
peated, with 119.644 miles an hour.
If you are wondering what happens
to a man when he is flung from his

fiacre while traveling at speed better
than 100 miles an hour, Mays and
Tony Gulotta, another entery thia
yeat can tell you. Warming up re
cently on the Speedway, each suffer
ed the embarrassment of overturning.
They probably owe their lives to the
fact that the turns have been resur
faced to assure safety. Neither
was seriously hurt.
Mays led the pack last year for 300
miles until forced ou when his ‘horse”
indicated a bowed tendon.
Shaw Coming Up
The Indian Broom of the gas grind
is Wilbur Shaw, who has been driv
ing since 1927—and coming closer
year by year. Shaw finished in the
money nine years ago, taking fifth
position. In 1932 he roared in second.
Last year he copped second place
again, and $13,500 prize money. Shaw
averaged 105.990 miles an hour last
year, breaking the old record of 104.-
863, and running so close to the win
ner, Kelly Petillo, that he could al
most reach over and grab his mount’s
bridle (the Derby again!)
Petillo's record of 106.240 for the
full distance stands as all-time tops.
That makes him the Twenty Grand
of the brick saucer.

AUTO RACERS MAY COMPETE ON SANDS
OF SAVANNAH BEACH, REPORTS HINT
I It was revealed yesterday that the
i possibility of Savannah Brach again
sharing the Southern racing spot
light this summfr with the running
of another 100-mlle auto race on the
sands of the beach is a near reality.
Promoters ar? here at the present
time looking over the beach and are
conferring as to whether or not the
many jetties which are being con
structed at th? present time would in
terfere seriously with the running of
a long race.
Staged for the first time last year,
the race was attended by some of the
most famed Southern beach track
artists with the event being won by
the heavy footed Luther Campbell
from Fernandina who captured the
event with a Ford V-8 Special. Anx
ious to come buck to the scene of
his former triumphs, the Florida
daredevil is seeking to add to the
many victories in his column this
present season-
A report of th? inspectors will be
forwarded to the office of the pro
moters who will come here in an ef
fort to petition the Tybee Council in
an effort to allow the race to be
run. Savannah will be ' well repre
sent'd if th? race can come off, in
a bevy of drivers who can hold their
own with some of the South’s finest
drivers.

BASEBALL RESULTS
NEW YORK, May 29 (TP).’—The
New York Giants realize today that
the .Boston Bees were well named
when they picked their new title.
The Giants- are nursing the effects
of two Bee-stings in the form of the
double-header victory the Boston Na
tional league team rapped out against
the New , Yorkers yesterday. The
Giants lost their league leadership
by the double defeat.
The Bees took the first'game, 4 to
3 and then annexed the nightcap 5
to 4. In other National league games
the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the St.
Louis Cardinals, 7 to 2; the Brook
lyn Dodgers climbed out of the cel
lar by beating the Phillies, 13 to 10,
and the Chicago Cubs laced the Cin
cinnati Reds, 11 to 5.
In the American league, the Phil
adelpia Athletics split a double head
er with. the Washington Senators,
taking the first in 10 innings, 4 to 3.
and losing the second game. 5 to 0.
The New York Yankees tripped the
Boston Red Sox, 10 to 6; the Cleve
land Indians moved into third place
with a 6 to 5 win over the St. Louis
Browns, and the Chicago White Sox
won from the Detroit Tigers, 6 to 5.
Sally League
Only two games were able to be
played in the South Atlantic league
yesterday. The Savanah Indians
were completely routed in the first
game of a four game series when the
Macon Peaches ‘canned” them by
the tune of 11.3. Getting three runs
in the first stanza, the Indians were
held in check for the rest of the
route by Johnny Interkofer, the
swarthy Teuton with seven hits. In
the last gAme, the Augusta Tigers
continued their streak with a total
of four runs being chalked to theri
credit while the Columbia Senators
