Now that the Kentucky Derby has been run, a lot of interest will be focused on the revival on the Memorial day classic on the Indianapolis Motor speedway. The annual 500-mile race has furnished some thrilling incidents in past years.
Forty-six entries have been received to date for the May 30 event, the largest field in the history of the track. It promises to be one of the most interesting races of all time.
It is a grueling test for the drivers, and many have been killed or seriously injured. It is a dog-eat-dog contest from start to finish with each man trying to walk away with the winner's purse and a chance to go down in racing annals as one of the best.
The race has not been run since 1942, and, like the Derby, one of the largest crowds ever to attend is expected. It is a tiresome event to watch, but everyone is afraid to leave because something spectacular might take place.
Another classic is coming up soon, and that is the championship battle between Joe Louis and Billy Comm on June 19. The match will be staged in Yankee stadium in New York. The stadium has 85,000 seats, and all of them will be reserved for the bout.
Speculation as to whether Joe Louis will be able to retain his title against the younger Conn has been the topic among sports figures for weeks. We won't know until June 20.
Mike Jacobs should make a small fortune off the gate receipts. He has scaled the seats to run $10, $20, $30, $50, and $100 for the ringside seats. With a capacity crowd of 85,000, it doesn't take a mathematical genius to figure that both fighters and the promoter will take home a few chips after the battle.
Babe Ruth, the greatest hitter of all time, is scheduled to fly to Mexico May 15 for a conference with the Pasquel brothers about the Mexican baseball league.
It would be to the Pasquel brothers' advantage to pay Ruth even $50,000 because his name would add a lot of respect to the league.
Rumors have been circulating since he disclosed his plans for the trip that he would become the commissioner of the outlaw league. It is no secret that the Bambino would like to make some sort of connection with the game again, but he has always wanted to manage one of the big league clubs. Perhaps he might be persuaded to give up his managerial aspirations if he were offered enough cash.
Frye, Fishel, Abernathy Attend Two-State Meet
Prof. J. C. Frye, V. C. Fishel, and G. E. Abernathy of the Geological Survey attended a two-state meeting in Miami, Okla. Tuesday, called to discuss conditions of the water supply in southeast Kansas and northeast Oklahoma.
The immediate problem, according Professor Frye, is the decline of the water level in sandstone in the area from which such towns as Pittsburg, Baxter Springs, and Pitcher and Miami, Okla., obtain their water supply.

Johnny Jackson chalked up a double victory in the 220 and 440-yard dashes. Owen Peck took first in the 100-yard dash, and Harold Hinchie won the 880-yard dash. Hal Moore took the mile run, and the mile relay team came in first to complete the Jayhawkers' first place victories.
