Inters Chicago Sweepstake* Detemined To Lead Field Or Quit fiacing Game.
CHirjOO, July 15.—"Driven to desperation by his failure to win a big race so far this year, Iario Kesta, formerly auto racing champion, is working' day and night getting his motor ready for its final test In the International Sweepstakes on the Chicago Speedway on Sundav afternoon, July 2A. Resta sent his entry to Manager Chas. H. Porter, yesterday, with the announcement that unless he was successful in the sweepstakes he would rctir# from the racing game for all time.
Kesta is believed to have the fastest Biotor ever started in an automobile. He designed it himself and spent all of last year and more than $15,000 in its construction. Automobile experts all over the United States have been watching it carefully in the belief that it would prove to be the greatest aeroplane motor ever invented.
Three times Resta lias started his Car in big races this season. At Sheepshead Bay a broken cam shaft put him out of the running. At Chicago in the Perby. a broken accelerator spring did the same and at Cincinnati ho crushed a bearing under the terrific speed at which he was traveling.
In try-outs Resta's motor has attai ned an unofficial speed equal to 117 aniles an hour. There can be no question about its Epeed and power. But after the Cincinnati race, when experts from the United States army aviation field at Dayton examined the motor, they were of the opinion that it fs Bo fast that its minor parts could not Stand up under the tremendous speed.
Now Resta is at work correcting these minor defects. He is so sure of •victory that he has not hesitated in putting- up his $2,000 as a part of the purse of $25,000 for which the drivers will compete in the sweepstakes. It in the first time In the history of auto racing that the drivers have ever raced for their own money and where every oar entered has to have a known speed Of at least 105 miles a nhour. i Ralph Mulford and Arthur Duray are two other stars who have already entered for the race and Manager Porter Is confident that he will also get the entries of Ralph De Palma and Louis Chevrolet.

the collapse of the four leagues, Hickey said, slthough the hest talent in the Southern Association already has been snapped up by the major and big minor leagues. As soon is the muddled baseball situation is Cleared of the uncertainty prevailing over lien. Crowder's "work or fight" regulations, the American Association •'ill add forty or fifty new players to Its roster. "Since the suspension of the Western and othor leagues, our club owners have been in communication with the players thrown out of employment, *nd we expect to land some very promising talent," President Hickey said. "We will, of course, first negotiate V^th players over the draft age. "As is generally known, the baseball business Is anything but a success this season, duo to the war situation, hut in view of the fact that our Organization will go through with the »ea.Ron, we have decided to give the Jmhllc the hicrhest standard of the |ame possible."

RUTH SET ON MAKING NEW HOME RUN MARK
"JBabe" Aiming at Seybold's American League Record of 16 Circuit douta.
Tf Ma-na^er Efd Barrow, of thd Boston Red Sox, permits Babe Ruth, his sensational home-run pitcher, to play in enough games in the Boston club s regular line-up, a new American league home-run record should be esiaunsaeu this season. Were Babe to appear in 154 games he also should have little difficulty in breaking the major league home-run record of Buck Freeman. outfielder of the Washington National lcatrue club in 1899. Incidentally. Buck made his record in the last year that Washington was a member of tho parent major league and had a short right field fence to hvlp him.
II iM Total Was 25.
To date Ruth has made elev#® home runs in less than fifty games. In Detroit, Washington and Cleveland, Kuth made hits that were record-breakers. It takes a terrific wallop to clear the high walls on any of these grounds.
Were liuth to play on the Polo grounds seventy-seven days a year he would undoubtedly set up a home run record for posterity to gaze at. This year he has played in five games on the Polo grounds and in three of them he has hit a home run. In a fourth six inches more would have given hiro another. His high fly hit th« concrete wall for a double.
The right field stand on the Polo grounds has long been Ruth's favorite rifle range. There seldom was a series on the Polo grounds in which Ruth has not hit a home run in a game In which he either pitched or played outfield.' Jack Warhop, several years ago, was Kuth's favorite victim. Kuth has hit home runs in 75 per cent of the games he had participated in on the Polo grounds and not once has he hit into the lower stand.- All his homers have been powerful licks upstairs. Kuth really disdains the lower l^olo stands and says a -schoolboy should be able to hit thero downstairs.
Great Foree Behind Hits. Men whrt have seen all the stars lof the game say Ruth hits a ball harder than any man that has ever played big league baseball. Ed Delehanty, Xap I^ajoie, Frank Baker, Tris Speaker, Sam Crawford and Sherwood Magee in his prime all met a ball with terrific force, but Ruth hits a ball harder than any of the above players.
To beat the American league home run record, Ruth at present needs only five homers. The record is sixteen, made by old Socks Seybold of the Philadelphia Athletics in 1902, the second year the American league spread to the east. It was the year Mack won his first championship. Seybold had a rather easy fence on the old Columbia avenue grounds in Philadelphia, though Socks surely could hit the ball some.
Connie Mack always has been fortunate in having one or more famous home run maulers in his outfit. In nine out of seventeen American league campaigns, the Athletics have had the leading home run hitter. Harry Davis ruled supreme for a four-year "stretch, from 1904 to 1907. while Frank Baker was king for four more years, from 1911 to 1914. Today Mack lias a famous pair of home run sluggers in George Burns and Clarence Walker.
Several players have gone after Freeman's record with a vengeance during the last six years and twice it was almost reached. Frank Schulte, the former outfield star of the Cubs, now winding out his career in Washington, went on an extra base tear In 1911, and knocked out twenty-one homers.
Cactus
Cravath
came within one
home run of tying Freeman's mark three years ago, when the Phillies won the National league championship. Cactus banged out twenty-four homeruns in 1915. Cravath has now 101 big league home runs to his credit, of which ninety-nine have been made in the National league. Without having any old records available, it is pretty safe to say that Cravath has more big league home runs to his credit than any man that ever has played in the fast set. While Cravath has gone hack a lot as a hitter and has hit only three homers this season up to date he should pick up a few more before the season is over.

CAREY HAS A CHANCE TO BEST THEFT MARK
Max To Bate Has Stolen 41 Basel With 71 Kecessaiy To Shatter Second.
Max Carey, Pittsburgh's stsr outfielder and one of the best in the same, must hare taken on a new lease of life, judging from the manner in which he is stealing bases in the National league this season. If he is not careful he probably will establish a record for thefts. He is running the bases as he never has run them before.
Carey has been with the Pirates for eight years, and if he manages to beat any mark that has been registered in that time it will not be saying a great deal for the present catchers in the league. It is a certainty he is not o w i n a s e e v e y y e a I a y e attributed to the scarcity of fast, accurate throwers in the ranks, yet one hesitates to blame the backstops when names like Klllefer, Wingo, Gonzales, McCarty, Rariden, Bums, Adams. Miller, Wilson, Henry, Allen and Archer are considered. These men are all e s s e w i s o n a s Still they are not stopping Carey. I
Pitcher* Partly to

«,
fits thefts may be laid to the i of efficient twirlers who can force him to hug the initial bag closely. Many of the good pitchers have gone, and, as a consequence, those who are still in the league do not watch him closely enough.
-Car«Y
has stolen forty-one
bases and the season is not half finished. If he can steal the same number from now until the finish of the season he will have established a new record—that Is, the best that has been done in the league in nine years. The high mark was set in 1911 by the speedy Bescher, who was then with the Cincinnati Reds. He was one of the fastest players In the game, on the bases as well as in the field. Bescher led the National league for three years, starting with 1910. in which year he stole seventy bases. In 1912 he Was credited with sixty-seven.
Carey I«ac a Leader.
Carey has been the leading base stealer in the league every year but one since Bescher stole sixty-seven In 1912. In 1913 the Pirate outfielder got a total of sixty-one. Tho following year he dropped to thirty-eight, and that was the only year he was topped. George Bums, who has been Carey's competitor for the honors for a number of years, beating him with a total of sixty-one. .In 1915 Carey stole only thlrtv-slx bases and still led, probably because the twirlers held him close to the bag and the catchers threw with rifle like speed and accuracy.
The year of 1916 saw Carey get sixtvthree. He wan credited with forty-six last season, beating Burns of the Giants by six. These two are having a battle for the honors in the present race, but Carey has a good start on him, having forty-one to Burns' twentya«v«a.
