DE PALMA GETS ON ENTRY LIST FOR NEXT RACE Speed Fans to See Favorite Performer at Wheel of Ballot Here in May. HOLDS TRACK RECORD Ralph Da Palma, International star and one of America’s favorite race drivers, la the second to enter the ninth annual 500mlle International sweepstages of the Indianapolis motor speedway. May 30. Eddie Hearne Is the only one to precede Ralph In entering. In filing his entry De Palma has not named the car he will drive, but It is generally believed that this will be a Ballot from the Paris factory. De Palma has been driving the “elght-ln-llne” speedster for two years and will start the championship season at Los Ange!e3, on Washington's birthday, at the wheel of the French car. lie has also been selected by Earnest Ballot to captain Lis team of four cars In the French Grand Prix In July. De Palma gained favor of the speed fans In 1912 by defeat rather than victory. The Italian-Amerlcan drove a Mercedes In the “500" nine years ago. For 495 miles he showed the way to all the American and foreign cars and drivers, only to have victory slip from his grasp and see $20,000 vanish, with two laps of the brick course to go. His "dago luck,” as he chose to designate his misfortune, made him the favorite of almost every fan. Three years later he set a track record and won the Indianapolis classic, after an almost seven-hour battle with Dario Besta and his fleet Peugeot. This time De Palma again drove a Mercedes. While Ralph had perhaps five miles an hour less under the hood of his car he outgamed Rests In driving and attained the ambition of every race driver —a 500-mile victory. Incidentally, no driver has ever twice won this event. De Palma, in making his entry has advised T. E. Myers, general manager of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Company, that he hones to be the first to hang up two five-century victories, although he is net egotistical enough to state that he will win the event, which last year carried a total cash award of about SIOO,OOO. 11l luck last May was all that prevented De Palma from being the first to win a pair of Indianapolis races. The same was true in 1919 when he set the pace for the first half of the race. Although De Palma has won countless races, the fans admire him more for his sportsmanlike attitude nine years ago when wictory was turned into defeat, because iron and steel could not stand the strain of the speed test on the brick oval for another four minutes.

Boy McCormick Hot on Trail of Wilson and His Title Belt NEW YORK, Feb. 5.—80 y McCormick, who recently made his bow to Gotham boxing fans when he won a decision over Johnny Howard, looks like a boxer of parts. Billy Gibson, manager of Benny Leonard. is handling the happy-go-lucky Irishman with the fiery red thatch and Gibby predicts that his newest protege will punch bis way to fame, and perhaps a title. McCormick made a hit round these diggins by his cleverness and his sunny disposition. He wears a flat nose a sunny smile and he goes about the business of boxing as though he gets a lot of fun out of it. He handles himself naturally, too, and is extremely fast for a boxer of his weight, 163 pounds. McCormick claims the middle and light heavyweight titles of England, but he Is not satisfied to stop at that. He is after the crown worn by Johnny Wilson and says he can make the middleweight limit. Boy has fought most of bis bouts in the since coming to this country several years ago, and out there they think well of his ability. McCormick is 21 years old. He was born in Calcutta, India, in 1899, which makes him Just of voting age. His real name is Noel McCormick, but he changed his moniker to “Boy" when he entered the fight game. The sorrel topped young man has had aver 100 fights since he entered competition. He won tha light heavyweight title of Great Britain by whipping Harold Rolph. Last year he had thirteen s raps on the coast and won twelve decisions. He fought a ten-round draw with Tom Gibdous in Portland on his way East. In San Francisco he whipped Gunner Smith *nd Jack Reeves, and In Portland beat Bob Roper Frank Farmer and Spidei Murphy. He went back to England for a short stay.

I TAD’S TIDBITS HARDEST HITTING LIGHTWEIGHT. NEW YOKK. Feb. 5. —It was around 1900 that Aurelio Herrera attracted the attention of San Francisco promoters. He had been gbing like wildfire In his home town of Bakersfield, knocking out every opponent the fight promoters of the Sonth could dig up. Herrera at this time was a featherweight and Terry McGovern was cock of the walk. Jim Coffroth saw the drawing power of a match between the pair and put them on The fight was held In Mechanics’ Pavilion and those who saw it will never forget that night. Sum Harris almost turned gray that night and Joe Humpheys, who was also with Terry, lost half his hair. The other two he still has. McGovern won in the fifth round with a K. O. It w-is Herrera's first defeat. It was a gala night. Mexicans, ranchers, cowboys and business men from Bakersfield crowded the Pavilion to bet on and cheer for their man. It was a most exciting affair. Sam Harris bet McGovern's end on his man and had no trouble finding betting men It was a slam-hang affair from the start, Terry trading with the Mexican and getting by with an even break. Near the close of the fourth round Herrera caught McGovern with a right on the ear. Terry’s knees -egged and he grabbed tile ropes to save himself from falling. The place was a madhouse. McGovern, groggy and ready to fall, tried to grab hi? appocent to clinch. The latter wildly swung a right that grazed the champion's chin. Th- bell. McGovern heard it, but stood still. Sam Harris rushed over and puiled Terry from the ropes and led him back to his corner. Terrv reeled like a drunken man He barely made the stool. He was soused with water and rubbed, given smelling salts and fanned. He just did come around for the start of the fifth. Still dazed he tore In and during a mixup dropped the Mexican in his own corner. He knocked him stiff McGovern didn’t recover fully until an hour after the fight. It was the nearest thing to defeat that Terry had met up to that time. In his very next fight he was knocked out by Young Corbett. With a bit cooler head that night Herrera would have been world’s champion featherweight A wonderful fe\Jow this Herrera. He trained hard for Agate, but drank whisky like a Forty-niner. He won more than half his fights w'tli knockouts. He engaged in seventy-six battles and forty-f r.r of them ended with his opponent on the floor. Among his victims were Tobv Irwin, Kid Broad. Eddie Santry, Kid A' el, Benny Yanger, Kid Farmer, Young Corbett and Jack Clifford. He fought Bat Nelson and lost the decision, bnt in one of the early rounds hit the Dane on the Jaw and the latter hit the floor head first. He landed right on top of his head, bnt he managed to get to his feet again before ten. No one but Nelson could have recovered from such a wallop.

TRIBE TO GET EARLIER START Indians Now Booked to Leave for South March 2—Wiggam Club Trainer. A “Hoosier Special” to the Southland, with Jack Hendricks in charge of a carload of baseballers will hit the rails out of Indianapolis. March 2, headed for Crowley, La., the spring camp of the Tribesmen, instead of March 8, us originally planned. The change in the starting date for the Indians to pack and depart was made last night on the return of Vice President Smith, who blew in from the rice fields of the South all pepped up over the fine training facilities lie (jjund at Crowley. According to Smith the Crowley Chamber of Commerce is spending a large sum preparing the ball diamond for the coming of the Hnoslers. The whole town is taking keen interest in the project. Smith said, and indications are that the exhibition games between the Indians and liig leaguers will be well attended. Every resident of the jiluce is on some sort of a baseball committee, according to Smith, which means that the ball players will be well taken care of. The Indians are scheduled to oppose the St. Louis Cardinals at Crowley March 10, and it will be necessary for the Hoosier players to be on the Job early In order to be in shape to mix with the big leaguers. Manager Hendricks started notifying his players today about reporting time, which will be the morning of March 2 in this city. The “Hoosier Special’’ will go from here to Louisville, where it will be hooked on the L. & N. for a direct trip to New Orleans, and then change for the last lap to Crowley. The new plans call for the Indians to arrive at their camp March 4. Howard Wiggam, boxer, wrestler and former baseball and football 'player, today was appointed club trainer by Manager Hendricks. The "Howard Kid” is at present acting as boxing coach at Indiana University and is believed well qualified to handle the training Job. Wiggam has been connected with sports and gymnasiums for years and no doubt he will be able to take care of the Hoosier diamond athlets.
