Horn Is Favorite In Indianapolis Race
Indianapolis—(UP)—Railbirds at the Indianapolis motor speedway predicted today that the national champ, Ted Horn, would start the 1947 Memorial day 500-mile race as the favorite.
Horn, who never has won the race but has been its most consistent money winner, captured the coveted pole position this weekend. The two $50,000 Novi Governor specials posted disappointing times after near-disastrous spins.
Seven of the low-slung racewors berths in the 33-car starting field yesterday or Saturday. This temporarily exhausted the list of drivers and cars able to make time trial spins.
Only one of the non-qualified drivers, Jimmy Jackson, run-up last year, currently is eligible to travel faster than 115 miles per hour over the speedway's brick and asphalt track. His four-cylinder car has been shelved by bearing trouble.
The American society of auto racing's boycott of the 1947 classic kept many "big name" drivers—such as Bex Mays, Duke Nalson and Ralph Kubrani—from Iceland this year. Newcomers to the track must pass a 40-lap driver's test before being able to attempt qualification runs.
Netters To Play Double Header
The Kansas tennis squad will play two teams at once in Kansas City at 3 p.m. today. Coach Gordon Sabine has divided his men into two sections for matches with Kansas City university and William Jewell college.
Sam Mazon and Frank Gage of the Jayhawk team will be playing their last matches for the University. Both will match rackets with members of the William Jewell squad on the Rockhill clay courts. Other squadmen who will oppose William Jewell in singles matches are Charles Carson, Don Moreadeir, and Evan Francis. Hervey Macferran will play in the doubles.
Against Kansas City university, Erwin Busiek, Dick Richards, Roy Shoaf, Bob Barnes, and Lynn Greeley will play singles matches. Harold Miller will be added for the doubles. These matches will be played on the Kansas City university clay courts.
Rain forced abandonment of the match scheduled Friday with Missouri university here. The Tigers cancelled the match which assures the Jayhawkers of no worse than second place in the conference race
The Kansas team has an over all winning percentage of .667 for the season, with 12 triumphs in 18 matches.
Seabiscuit Dies Of A Heart Attack
Ukiah, Calif—(UP)—Seabiscuit, the gallant little runt who made champions look like plow nags, rests beneath a fresh mound of earth in front of the mansion-like ranch-house at C. S. Howard's Ridgewood Ranch.
Baseball Results
"I feel as though I had lost one of my family," owner Howard said. "He was more than just a horse." Purchased for a mere $8,000 as an unwanted castoff, barely worth the price of his feed, he earned a staggering $437,730 to become the top money winner of his time. The figure has since been topped by Whirlaway with $561,161, but the Biscuit was king of his day.
