MJeff lma Explains * Trouble That Cost Him Victory Monday Car Afire Twice, He Says—Bes.came Confused Over Gasoline Supply. Doe to the fact that there Is still a difference of opinion regarding what happened to Ralph DePalma’s Ballot car In the 500-mile race Monday, when Ralph lost the lead after apparently having first place clinched, DePalma’s own explanation of the trouble is interesting That his car was afire twice is declared to be true by the driver, once on the north turn and again after he had restarted and was going out of the south turn. DePalma's car was equipped with an “eight-in-a-row” motor and he used two curburetors and two magnetos, “A” and “B ” for the front and rear four cylindei s, respectively. According to DePalma it was a short circuit that caused his motor to backfire, burned out magneto "A” and caused the fires. The magneto was put out of commission on the back stretch, he said, refusing to fire the gasoline feeding to carburetor “A” and sparks flying from the iJUjorted” wire, ignited gasoline dripping IKin carburetor '‘A.” DePalma says he did not understand Just what the trouble was at the time of the first blaze and after smothering the fire he started around the track again. When his car caught fire on the south turn a close examination brought out the cause of the trouble, he said, and be drove to the pits, removed the spark plugs from his four front cylinders, disconnected carburetor “A," repaired the “shorted” wire and finished the race on four cylinders. At no time was his car out of gasoline. DePalma declared. . When he stored the car to extinguish the first blaze the motor "died, he says, and that led him to believe he was out of gasoiin.-. It was then that he sent his mechanician to the pits for a supply that was not needed, as he discovered later.

TAD’S TID BITS

GREATEST HE EVER SAW. NEW YORK, June 4. Dear Tad—You’ve been buried so much with the "greatest fighter” problem that I though, in this era of prohibition to scamper a few remarks of my own on the parchment. . Listen: Where’s the 18-year-old kid nowadays fighting twenty-round battles to a decision? Where's the kid having Won a dozen twenty-round bouts before be passed the twentieth milestone? Let me whisper you the name of the world's greatest fighter, Les Darcy—peace to his ashes. Just imagine his third ring battle was a twenty-round affair with Bill Hanan, in West Maitland, Australia. Les stopped him in eighteen rounds. This quarrel took place on March 15, 1013, when Les was only IS years of age. I.es knocked out Mick King in ten rounds, licked Eddie McGoorty In fifteen, knocked Billy Murray cold in six. Fred Dyer in four, beat Jimmy Clabby and Jeff | Smith. All this happened while Les was in his teens. Like Robert Emmet, had I,es lived, history—pugilistic history at least —would have been different. Put me down for a vote for my lamented friend, Les Darcy, as the greatest exponent of the fistic art. Yours til! all cellars Are damp, LIAM O’SHEA. GUNBOAT STILL RUNNING SECOND. The famous “Gooner” Smith lost another four-round decision in Frisco the other night to a small colored gent by the name of Lee Anderson. Smith Just finished reading his new set of Mark Twain and ran across a chunk of Mark's advice, which was, “If you can’t be good, be careful.” The “Gooner,” knowing that he wasn’t good, just folded himself up for three rounds in a very careful manner. He lost by half a mile. MAYGE IT’S LOCKJAW. Say Tad—What’s the matter with Zimmerman, Chase and Lee Magee?

Ruth Muffs Ball and Gets Team Out of Hole Babe Ruth has figured in many unusual incidents on the baseball field, but never in a more out-of-the-ordlnary play than thta which cropped up in the eighth inning of a recent game with Washington and which rescued the Yankees from an embarrassing predicament. Harris beat out a hit and took second on Peck's error. Ellerbee singled, following which Shannon filed out. Gharrlry singled, scoring Harris, while Ellerbee went to second. Schacht filed to Ruth, who muffed the ball, bu. threw to Pratt, forcing Gharrity. Ellerbee. who had overrun third, was tagged out by Peck, and the Inning was over. j * Edwards to Return for Another Trial in U. S. Although L*w Edwards, lightweight champion of Australia, was knocked out by Ritchie Mitchell when the visitor made his first appearance in this country, Tom Andrews, the Milwaukee promoter and boxing critic, insists that Edwards will make good. Coming from a country wherp snow is unknown. Edwards ran into below zero weather at Milwaukee, and this so stiffened his muscles that he never could get started. Edwards went to England immediately after his defeat by Mitchell and seems to have made a great impression there. Rather than meet him for the title. Bob Marriott relinquished his claim to the honors. Edwards is coming back to America next month and hopes to regain the prestige he lost.
