PAGE EIGHT THE CAPITAL JOUENAL, SALEM, OREGON MONDAY MAY 29, 1922. SWEEPSTAKES TO BE PHYSICAL TEST OF DRIVERS By Barney Oldfield Indianapolis, May 29 If there J) any seeming Inactivity of driv s and carsat the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where all Is preparation for the 600-mile In ternational Sweepstakes to be ield Tuesday, May 30, it Is a good omen for those who will be in at tendance at the race Decoration Cay. For there is a more serious at titude around the speedway gas, oline alley this year than I have ever before seen. This Is un doubtedly occasioned by the fact that the majority of the cars are on an even footing so far as speed in concerned, and it is up to the drivers to be in perfect physical condition for the long grind, for the driver will tie the margin of victory this year more than ev er before. ' Always there have been gather ngs of the drivers in the evenings after dinner. Former races would be rerun in words and coming events would be lashed and argued But this year the drivers are not congregating and they are all in their rooms and in bed in the early evening hours. Pilot Working Diligently At the track there is a serious helpers are diligently working on train. All of the pilots and their their mounts and there Is little running being done on the track The reason for this is evident. It is the third year that the 183 cubic Inches piston displacement cars have been in vogue and the "bugs" have been worked out of them. The drivers know their cars and they started the day they ar rived here to tear down the mot ors, give the entire car a com plete overhauling and start set. ting up for the big event. It looks like a mighty fast race from the pit wall today. Probab ly the fastest we have ever seen. There is the keenest sort of riv alry and determination being ex hibited at the various garages and with all the drivers either owning their own cars or having them under lease it will be a "lone wolf" event with little or no teaming. The California cars are report ed to be unusually fast. The other drivers are holding out on their speed, but they cut loose on the straightaways and under watches they all look to have speed enough to make the race a most Interest ing affair. SALEM PLAYS ARLETATEAM HERE TUESDAY Baseball fans lucky euough to get a holiday tomorrow, Decora tion day, will witness the Semitors, du battle with the Portland Arleta Amateur Athletic club at Oxford park. Arleta hag always sustained de feat at the bands of the Senators, but comes tomorrow with an ex ceptionally strong lineup and ex pects to take victory back to the ltose d!ty. Hobson, Salem's new second baseman, proved a base running wonder yesterday In the game with St. Paul when he beat oul two slow grounders to the infield.

CHINA UNCERTAIN Tien Tsln, May 29. (By Asso ciated Press.): News from the field of military operations around Shankaikuan, northeast of this city, is of a most conflicting char acter. One report is that Chang Toa Lin. the Maacnurian general, who recently issued a declaration of Independence, is evacuating bit troops from Shanbaikuan while another is to the effect that hi has re occupfed Changlt, 40 mile further southwest. General Wu Pel Fu's army of Shihli soldiers, victorious in theli recent campaign near Peking, have reached Lwanchow, requisi tioning cars on the Mukden rail way for a general advance to the north. The families of the rail way staff at Shauhaikuan are be- ng brought to Tien Tsin by steamer. The British gunboat Bluebell is at Chinwangtao, a few miles south west of Shanhaikuan ready to land bluejackets, while the cruiser Curlew is off Petitaiho. The U. 3. S.

With his single-to center "Bid dy" Bishop won his own baseball game yesterday played against St Paul at Oxford park and which ended by a score of 10 to S in favor of the Salem Senatose. SL Paul owes its defeat to poor generalship on the part of Cole man, whotn the ninth inning with the score nine to eight in the vis ltors' favor and two men on bases, yanked out young Ed pillette re placing him with Carson, who let in one score with his wild first pitch. The visitors started seoring In the first inning on a flock of er rors made by the Senators who didn't seem to be able to get into the game until it was half over, Gill started things in the fourth inning with a single. Bishop dou oled, while McKenna was respon sible for their scoring by his single.

In our own land, on tombs sacred to the names of liberty and union, the blossoms of a grateful people are spread in proof that we remember.
