Memorial Day Sports Quiet For Cory With Big Indy Speed Classic
Memorial Day brings little local athletic action with a few exceptions. Cory Country Club expects heavy golf play if weather holds while trout fishing and boating offer recreation statewide. Major events include a Pittsburgh Pirates game, Cleveland Indians doubleheader, Erie tennis exhibition, and Mauri Rose favored in the Indianapolis 100 mile speed classic. Stan Musial and the St Louis Cardinals show prolific form as the team enjoys strong pitching and potent hitting. Local notes mention Allegheny College’s new athletic plant nearing completion and the 92nd running of the 100 mile speed race with Louis Low Barney as mechanic for Sam Hanks.
