CHICAGO, June 19—With Ralph De Palma going from scratch In the great auto derby handicap at 100 miles at .Speedway park Saturday afternoon, Jlalph Mulford now looms as the dark ihorse in the $30,000 classic, Mulford is one of the greatest drivers automobile racing has ever known. With the handicap which he is almost certain to receive from the officials of the American Automobile association, he Is goin i? to be a hard man £«r the others to catch.

There Is every reason to believe that he will be allotted a greater handicap than Arthur Duray, Louis Chevrolet, Darlo Resta and Harney Oldfield as well as T)e Palrna. With any kind of a start Mulford is liable to keep away from the Other back markers.

Duray is the mystery of the race. It will be the first time that the famous French speed demon has ever competed over a two mile, banked, plank speedway. His record shows that he has driven an automobile faster than any othei man in the world, having once attained a 6peed equal to 147 miles an hour in a time trial at Ostend, France. He has been driving for nineteen fears and in that time has won almost every bitf European classic. One thing is certain—he 1s the man the others are ell watching.

The advance sale of tickets is heavier than ever before in the history of Speedway park. Scores of parties are coming from almost every town and city ^ylthin two hundred miles of Chicago. The vast oval seats nearly 70,000 persons so that there will be room for everyone. Reserved seats In the grandstand are selling as low as $1.10 including war tax, and there 1s free parking space for thousands of automobiles. It Is the first time In auto racing history that, a great event of this kind has ever been run at popular prices.

All of the drivers are hard at work every day tuning up their cars and when Starter Fred J. Wagner sends the score or more of pilots on tliolr way In tlie* $30,000 classic, in all llklihood several records wili Ue £hattei«4*-~~

Babe Ruth's a Real Merriwell

There was a time when a good many boys thought Dick Merriwell was Ahat might be called the real goods in baseball. Of course, Dick was a college player, but he was conceded by his author-creator to be better than any of the big league boys. He could pitch left and right handed, and it was a common occurrence for him to come to bat In the ninth, with three men on, two down, and the score 3 to 0 in favor of the opposition, and knock a home run. That was Dick's everyday work. But now Dick has a rival—in real life, writes Harvey J. Boyle In the Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph. His rival Is Babe Ruth. The Red Sok star is not ambidexterous, as was the mythical Merriwell, but he can play first, the outfield, and pitch, aside from leading the American league batters with a percentage of over .400. Babe Ruth should have the honor of being called Dick Merriwell.

TEBRE HAUTE TRIBUNE.

IS STALK TO BEKlf MAN AGAIN?

Boston Club Picking Up As It Did In 1914—Art^Nehf Going Good*

Is George Stallings about to pull the "Miracle Man" stunt again? Critics who saw th*e Braves play in the spring series against the Yanks,i called Stallings' outfit the worst in tne big league. And three weeks after the season opened Boston fans were willing to believe it. But they have changed greatly.

They a.re winning consistently, and their victories are bringing back recollections of their sensational feat in 1914. It will be recalled that on the morning of July 4 of that season they were resting In last plS.ce, but that afternoon, by winning two games, they climbed out of the cellar and then pounded their way through the National league to the pennant and then annexed the title of world's champions by defeating the Athletics four consecutive times. Manager George Stalling was christened the "Miracle Man."

Will the "Miracle Man" of 1914 reeat? Nothing is impossible in baseall, and the Braves of 1918 may yet

John Rawlings has succeeded "Rabbit" Maranville at short, and his fielding between Hersog and* "Red" Smith Is sensational. The latter Is also playing In great style at the far corner, while Ed Konetchy is covering first equally well. In the outfield, Powell, Wlckland and Rehg are dally killing off base hits by grabbing flies over their shoulders.

The pitching of Pat Ragan, Artie Nehf. Bunny Hearne and Fllllglm is

responsible In no little way for the 11

team's recent success, and with Dick Rudolph back, Stallings Is not worrying. In the west, the Braves made .a better showing than any other members of the eastern wing of the rlr-* cult. They won ten games and we're defeated five times by the westerners.

That this training received on the football field is standing these men in good stead at the present time Is the opinion of army and navy officers. The men who have advanced from the ranks have been those who have had physical training. The football men went to the officers' training camps and emerged with commissions.

These football men did not have to be sent to camps or cantonments for months to get into physical condition. The only drain on the nation's treasury was for their training in military tactics. 'Millions of dollars are being spent to get men into physical condition in our camps, and this money would not have to be spent if the men had athletic training during their college or school carseis.

To abolish football or any branch of Intercollegiate athletics would be an unwise move at this time, according to many who have the Interests of the country at heart. If athletics at our colleges is done away with, then there will not be any incentive for the men in college to keep physically fit.
