petition slice 1919 on the Induna ; polls Motor Speedway, is returnin;,! ' o r:t in;: In the fifitl-mile drive hero jin May. Stapp and his mechanic. as yet undlose.n. probably will be the i smallest team In the race. “Babe"] I who is only twenty-six* year’ <»}! land weighs only 12S pounds plat.si ito select a riding mechanic smalleri even than himself. "No excess] weight in the riding seat of my en-| Dry". says Bebe. f "I wanted to give up racing after; Bill Spence’s death,’’ explained Stapp, "t.-td I did for awhile. It didn't seem right that I snould hare •’tin o it of the sport whit h snuffed] out he life of my chum. But racing is the only thing I like to do. I; I have hopes of developing several I new ideas tending to improve auto- ' mobiles. The race course Is the only ; laboratory in which I can work So ; here lam back driving again." Stapp started in the second row lot last year's rate. Spence was in I he fourth. They bid each other I good luck at the starting line. In 1 I the tenth lap Spence, t itling all ,alone lost control of his car on the turn leading into the back stretch. ’There was no apparent cause for’ ] the accident. The wreck was unusual in that the tar in turning over several times never left the i ipron. or inside of he track. Spence I was rushed to the hospital fn the infield eneloseur but he was dead I before he could he placed on an operating table. Stapp passed the wreckage and looked in vain for his pal. He signalled h's pit for information, and then made a fast lap to ge: it. His, I pit crew advised him that Spent- ■ I was injured but alive. Stapp continued in the contest, and at lboi miles was in fourth place. A few laps la er mechanical trouble forced Stapp out of the race. As he rolled his car into the pits, his first question concerned I Spence's condition. When told of! I the death of his friend he collapsed! Later he went to the hospital and took charge of the body, vowing he; would n -ver drive again. He accompanied the funeral cortege to Los I Angeles. "You know Spence used to come out and watch me drive on the West | Coast in the first tares in which I

competed" says Stapp, “and it was ] through mo that he became a driver, ■ He was adept nt his speed lesson-, I [too. We'll never know ".'hat wont 1 ’ wrong with his car" Hu. Stapp has decided his per-; I manent retirement from racing will; I not in any way replace his chum. I “You know: Bill always had an ambi- i lion for me to be champion", re-] I fleeted Stapp, "so 1 11 try tl» bc-i , copie champion in the sport he lovled so well, In his memory".

DAWSON HALTS GOLF EXPOSE New York. April 24 UR) Be 'fore tailing for England aboard tin S. S. B ronraria, Johnny Dawson. of Chicago, recently declared I Ineligible for amateur golf in this I country, acted to prevent a threat.■m l extaise on his behalf which might, have blasted the August Cnitid States Golf Association to jits very foundations. The storm, was brewed in the 1 tniddlewest. where Johnny has a host of admirers, ami was aimed at the amateur standing of a number of th- country's most prominent golfers, including at least two 'members of th' executive commit tee of the I’, S. G. A. 1 Although grievously disappointed] because of the recent action barring him from further amateur com p.tition, Dawson, like a sports man. refused to authorize the meve. Johnny pleaded with his western friends not to make public tile documents and charges they had prepared. Whether the matter will he brought up when a representative, ■of th- western golf assort itoin at] tends a meetings of the IT. S. G. A,.| at Southampton this week-'nd re-' mains to be seen. The question of Dawson’s eligi-i bility will be discussed, with littl’ likelihood that Johnny will be re-| instated. At present he is barrod upon a technicality, open to two] interpretations. Dawson works for Spaldings, but . maintains that he is not being paid! I for his skill as a golfer, which is I I admittedly exceptional. Sone thing] I to lie said on his behalf in this con ] nection is that his salary is small.] ’obviously not one which would be I paid by a film seeking to employ 1 him because of his golfing skill. Moreover, he has worked for Spaldings’ for nine years and did so befor he played golf at all. Johnny has been advised by of-1 ficials of tlie L. S. G. A. to leave] the sporting goods firm if he wish-; s to regain his amateur standing Having made up his mind to remain with his pres mt employers, even if I nev r play another game ' of golf.” as he told me just before

sailing yesterday, Dawson is likely to remain Ineligible for some time, possibly until a more liberal group takes eontro) of the U. S. G.
