When De Paolo entered the two cars, nominating himself as one ot the drivers, he announced that he was inviting De Palma to drive the second car. Today he received a definite answer from Uncle Ralph declining because of a business connection, demanding that he drive only' in race cars on which a supercharger bearing his name was used. Superchargers are discarded by the rules for the com Ing race. Therefore the famous nephew-unde team will not be seen on the track this year. De Paolo got his start fn racing as De Palma's riding mechanic, later timed driver and became American speedway champion in 1925 end 192”, winning the Indianapolis 500-mile race in 1925 in the record average time of 101.13 miles an hour which stil Islands.

Konjola Meant New Health To Muncie Man New and Different Medicine Quickly Banishes Rheumatism And Kidney Ailment I' '1 it i “ J V Ww ’A lO* MR. DAVID I. MILLER “I suffered for a long time with a severe case of rheumatism in mv legs and back." said Mr. David I. Miller. Route No. 8. Muncie. “The ipains from this dread ailment were so frightfuj that I often became faint. Pains in my back and side from weakened kidneys added to my misery. Frequent bladder actions made night risings necessary and disturbed my sleep. Constipation made the nee of cathartics and purges almost a daily neoessity. “I started the treatment with Konjola by the purchase of four bottles. There were no doubts in my mind after the third bottle. I am a healthy, happy man today after using this great mqdicine until I had given it a real chance. My rheumatism has left me entirely and my kidneys are as strong as they have ever been. Cathartics -ire no longer necessary. I sleep well at night and have gained wonderfully in strength and vita'ity. What a medicine Konjola is!” Although Konjola often works quickly, six to eight bottles are recommended as a fair trial. Konjola is sold in Decatur at the B. J. Smith drug store, and by all the best druggists in all towns throughout this entire section. *

'tracks for five and half y.-nrs but I will be making his first start ut Indianapolis at the wheel of Doi 11 Paolo's DtHsenberg. Tull, muscular, alert in a shy 1 manner, Cummings comes to the I big league not flushed with his spectacular feats on the dirt trucks, . but with an acknowledged appro- ■ elation of the practice apprentlcei ship he must serve in the company .of veteran big leaguers on the most • difficult driving path in the conn- ■ try. "I've got a lot to learn," says , this shuffling youngster with aci i five eyrs, a wife and a two year ■ old daughter, Erlene. "I feel that , ' I know how to drive, all right. Now I have to learn to drive the Indian- , apolis track. I know it is difficult and I will have many practice laps ■ to acquaint myself with every’ peculiarity of the two and one-half mile course before the race day. "I consider it an honor to be selected for the seat on De Paolo's team which the great De Palma had been invited to occupy. That ,' is a difficult order to fill. But I will try my best." Cummings, who is Tri-S ate dirt . track champion of Indiana. Kentucky and Illinois, as well as Wabash Valby champion recently won the first 100-mile championship event of the year at latnghorne. Pa. As a result of the victory and the 120 jioints it gave him. Cummings starts the 500-mile race as ’ ruling champion for this year. YANKS TO BE OVERHAULED ,\ew York, May 13. —(U.R) —A reorganization of the New York Yankees seems to be definitely under way, with Tom Zachary, veteran southpaw, the latest player to be cast adrift. Zachary's release at the waiver price of $7,500 to the Boston Braves yesterday was quite a surprise as he won 12 games and lost none last season and had won one and lost one this year. The arrival today of the St. Louis Browns renewed rumors that George Blaeholder. holdout pitcher, will soon be in the ranks of the Yankees Blaeholder is said to be on the market th the highest bidder. The Yankees are understood to have offered Waite Hoyt and another player to the Browns for Blaeholder. but Hoyt’s $16,000 salary is unattractive to Phil Ball, who has refused to pay Blaeholder $7,500. I The Yankees are seeking another outfielder, and have opened negotiations with Detroit for Jonathan Stone. One things seems certain. Hoyt is slated to go elsewhere. Manager Shawkey has twice passed Hoyt's turn to pitch and the former Yankee ace is not accepting th? action calmly. Mark Koenig also may be offered in a trade. Detroit is anxious to get him. as the Tigers haven't been able to get first class shortstopping ■from Akers, Wuestline, Rogell or McManus, who lias been shifted back to third base. o———— .

J. HAM LEWIS’ AGE REMAINS DEEP SECRET ( Democratic Opponent of Ruth Hanna McCormick Is Mystery Man Chicago, Muy 12 (UP) A wonan s age is generally concedwl to be her owa aflair am, subject Io change without notice, but Illinois voters would like to know what that has to do with James Hamilton Lews, woo won’t tell how old he is. When the doughty and dignified lemocrat who will seek election to the United States Semite this full against Ruth Hanna McCormick, Is asked io reveal his age. he m. with the irritating and bafffling pu-stiou. ■ h.jw u..i is «un. Not that Lewis’ age is of any .4, eat moment in a campaign that is about to engage, in heated battles over such issues as prohibition, the only woman in the coun ry ever to receive a senatorial nomination and ihe man who was democratic whip if the senate during the Wilson administration. It is just one of those things that , :ave away of so arousing public curiosity that important questions are side-tracked wilile the matte’ ,s solemnly debated and delibera ed I upon. Shortly before the primary elec-, tion which gave her the republican j ‘ nomination over Senator Charles I S. Deneen, Mrs. McComick advertised hei age and openly celebrat-r ed her fiftieth birthday. She wanted Illinois to know she was matiir-’ enough to apprecia e the seriousness of being senator. As for 'J. Ham." what he does with his birthdays no one seems to ' Know. It is safe to say, however, ‘ that he is not as young as he used 1 to be. This snap judgment is based 1 on the fact that in recent years his ' amous pink whiskers have turned 1 rrav. • i Attempts to really solve the mys- , ery oi' his age have brought to light , several interesting incidents and disclose a controversy that has | lasted for decades, leaving even in "Who's Who',' a blank as to the year and day he was born. I Immediately after he departed < frof the University of Virginia, "not i with hono. to the university or pre,- i fit to himself.” as Lewis of en lia. I been heard to say, he went out ten Washington state and started his ipolitical career by running for the ; legislature. I

Later, when Lewis was elected •ongressmun at-large, he did not la'e change his age. it still is asserted, Gilman said. The biogtaphl•al i ecord at Washington showed le was born in 1862. copvlng from Lewis's own previous claims as a egislatorial Candida e. Some time at "J. Ham." wideb tnown for his oratory and always 'astidious appearance, moved to Illnois and resiitned his public career, h» ’l’lns’lon of hi? age again came :o the fore. His mother wrote a letter to a le.son who promptly disclosed that ihe resented biographies "showing Lewis wits bo. n some years before tis mother was married.'' Later biographers were induced o make corrections that put Lewis n a fiosition of coyly casting off the rea.s as he grew older. I was Lewis’s wife who raised he rumpus that caused substitution if a new age for her husband. She leclared she would not have it said my longer that she was the “young cite of a decrepit old statesman.” Research along this line has re nilted in calculations tlmt indicate hat "J.
