ELLINGBOE IS SPEED WORLD’S LATEST JOKER Frontenac Boys Have Good Laugh When Jules Spills Speed Secret. RACERS COMING FAST Tha heart es many a racing driver preparing to drive a car in the 500-mile race at the Indianapolis Speedway May 80. is ‘ hitting’’ in much better time today, and the faces of the dopesters are all emlles again. Just because Jules Elllngrbi'e's little 10114 mile secret of Monday afternoon is no longer the same deep, oark mystery. Monday when Jules ripped oft his remarkable speed, stop watches were cussed, arms were waved high in the air and faces bearing pxzzled looks were as numerous as blades of grass on the Speedway infield. The wise fellows admitted thev were stumped. They couldn't see’how the little fellow, making his debut on paved tracks, did it. Well yesterday afternoon, Jules, Louie and Arthur Chevrolet and the rest of the Frontenac crowd spilled the dope. Jules made his remarkable time In an old 800-inch Frontenac —not the ISS-cubic Inch pistol displacement job that he must drive In the coming race. Os course, when tha dope was out, the wise fellows all joined the “I told you ao” ranks. But the Frontenac boys gave them the one big laugh, just the same. Here's the dope. Jules has had Louie Chevrolet prepare a SOO-lneh job for him to be used In dirt track racing this year, rutting the motor in one of the 1920 rontenac chassis. Work on the car was completed Monday afternoon and Jules brought it out to the speedway for a little test. After he had kicked off his big average, he wheeled off the track and back to the factory without stopping for Questions from the crowd of drivers, mechanics and rail birds who watched hia performance. There was many a driver around the track who felt aas though he might as well order his car measured for a top and windshield and go back to the line of tourists, after EUlngboe left the course, but yesterday when the Frontenac crowd came out and spilled the real dope, everything was bright and joyous once again. Tommy Milton, the world's motor Speed King, who will pilot one of Louis rfievrolet's new elght-in-a-llne Fronten’.cs in the 500-mile race, arrived in Indianapolis last night. Tommy toured in from California, but after a bath and a good dinner announced that he felt ready j for the long grind. Motor racing fans are eager to see Tommy at the wheel of Louis’ latest •peed creation. Chevrolet is a name synonymous with speed, and Milton is the boy who traveled faster on the Florida Bands than any man had ever gone before on the ground. The rail birds who are following the practice spins at the Speedway each a:r•rnoon have seen the new eight-in-line Frontenac In action. Louis Chevrolet, with Barney Oldfield squeezed Into the mechanician’s seat, gave the car a rapid whirl yesterday afternoon and Elligboe later took it for a long grind. Ralph Mnlford will drive Lenfs’ other •ight-in-line Frontenac. Ralph should reach Indianapolis in the next day or ' two. Ralph De Palma and his newly painted Ballot got a hand from the stands yesterday afternoon when they swept on to the track for the second spin of the season. Jean Chassagne rambled around In the Peugeot at a comfortable pace of seventyfive to eighty miles per hour. Andre Bolllot was out In the Talbot-Darracq for a few limbertng-np laps. R. J. Brett and hia gray Junior Special appeared early In tie afternoon, but took an easy pace. There was one exciting brush that brought the people In the stands to their feet when Chassagne in the Peugeot, Elllngboe in hi* four-cylinder Frontenac and Louis Chevrolet in hia violet-colored elght-ln-a-row swept down the straightaway In a bunch that could be covered by a blanket. The new ’’Densiea” are expected out this week Dario Rests Is due to arrive today and take charge of his Sunbeam. All of the cars are now In Indianapolis.

DEMPSEY READY TO SHOW FANS HOW HE WORKS Waiting for Carpenters to Finish Ring—ln Great Shape and 'Spirits. ROUGH ON PARTNERS By JAMES J. CORBETT. Former World’s Heavyweight Champion. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.. May 18—Jack Dempsey will commence boxing In public In a few days. The outdoor ring and bleachers at Airport are almost completed and Manager Kearns says if the carpenters finish their work, the champion will make his first public appearance Saturday. Dempsey Is ready to begin serious training. He is going to do a lot of boxing throughout th; month of June and has already started it, more than a week ahead of his original schedule. The champion is hard as nails and rough as granite. His wind is great and he is feeling like a colt. I can say this after spending Tuesday at his camp, where he did soma special work for my benefit. My. what a rough young man Dempsey is. He expended enough energy to win several heavyweight championships in nine rounds of boxing with three sparring partners. First he worked with Jack ReDHuH, a big heavyweight from Canada. The two Jacks went three rounds and as a windup Dempsey sent Renault to the floor with a blow to tha head. Leo Houck was next in order and Leo gave the champion a lot of good exerciae. .Houck la a very capable battler and can take It, but he was thankful that the champion had on the big gloves. Asa windup to his boxing Dempsey squared away with Trambitas, a welterweight from the Pacific coast. Thts lad put on a headgear to protect his ears and his chin from the champion's punches and Dempsey figured to get some good exercise against him. In the third round he put Trambitas out of commission. He brought one up from his knees, caught his sparring partner squarely under the chin and lifted Mm clear out of the ring. Trambitas wen; crashing through the ropes and fell ot his head. For a little while we were all afraid he had been seriously hurt, but the headgear saved him. Dempsey’s program from now on will be more pretntlous. He will start on the road every morning at 7 o’clock. He will box a few rounds with his various sparring partners every afternoon and will do more work in the gymnasium than he has done at any time to date. He feels so good that be simply has to work off • more energy. After all his work yesterday he was fresh as a daisy. He didn’t show a sign of tiring and he wasn’t blowing when he finished boxing. He surely looks fine. When Jack had finished his day’s work we eat down and talked about the coming battle with Georges Carpentier. "What do you think of him, Jim?” he asked me. "They tell me he Is quite a puncher and fast as they get.” “I’ve never seen Georges In action,” I replied, "and therefore I’m not qualified to pass judgment on him. but from his ring record I would say he Is a very dangerous man.” Confidence Is a great thing In a boxer, but there's a limit even to that. I cautioned Dempsey about being over-confi-dent, and I mentioned several incidents in my ring career that were dearly learned lessons to me Dempsey was all ears and very much interested In everything I snld to him. He is a mighty sensible chap, and one who is willing to listen and learn. “I’m taking it for granted, Jim.” he said to me. ”1 expect a hard fight, or at least I'm working along these lines, and you can tell the world that Tm ready for it.” That kind of talk means something; It means that Dempsey will not make the mistake he made In training for Brennan.

- for a Camel The pleasure is worth it. There’s no substitute for Camel quality and that mild, fragrant Camel blend. The fellow who smokes Camels, wants Camels. That’s because Camels ha/e a smoothness, a fragrance und a mild- rrv ness you can’t get in another cigarette. FMa Don’t let anyone tell you that any other cigarette at any price is so good as Camels. Let your own taste be the judge. Try Camels for yourself. A few smooth, refreshing puffs and you’d walk a mile for a Camel, too. \ M Wi* an-Salem, \ > •

INDIANA DAiIY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, MAY 18, 1921.

WHO’LL WIN?

PITTSBURGH, May 18.—Jim Jab, veteran fight writer: "If Dempsey is out for a quick triumph he should stop Carpentier In six rounds at the worst. In a sixteen-foot ring two innings would suffice. A wide-open boxer like the Frenchman Just suits a body puncher. 1 believe America has a half dozen middles good enough to flop the Frenchman.” EAGLES CARD RING SHOW The Eagles are arranging a big program for their out-door smoker and entertainment, to be held at the Eagle ball park, formerly Northwestern Park, Friday night. May 27. Among the many- features of the program will be a boxing card of three bouts.

BREEZY TRIBE NEWS AND NOTES

MINNEAPOLIS, May 08.—Tha Indiana and Miller* were to throw aside their vacation offer today and go to the mat for the third game of their series here. It was an off day for the Millers and In, dian*. but the athlete* and Hendricks and Cantillon stood even in twe games played here, and they were anxious to get out and settle the series argument. Pug Cavet was elated to go to the hill for the Tribe this afternoon. The veteran has pro Ten the team’s most dependable hurler to date, and the club seems to go better behind him than any other on the staff, so it looked as though the chances of an Indian victory were fine and dandy. It was not known who the Millers would send to the firing line. Wet grounds halted the contest yesterday afternoon. The weather man polled In his water apparatus about noon, but the park was better fit for swimming (ban baseball when game ltme rolled around. Indications were that the outfielder* were going to get their teat as "mud-

TAD FINDS FRENCH SECTOR TOUGH PLACE TO INVADE

MANH4SSET, L. I„ May IA-Beea were bu*ztng, cows were mooing aild a phonograph wag playing “Columbia, the Gern or the Ocean” as we drove up to the vine-covered cottage on the hill where Georges Carpentier is to train for his coming quarrel with Jack Dempsey. On the picket fence which surrounds the place are two large signs. One reads, “Private -Grounds,” while the other, a bit farther along reads, “Beware of tha Bull.” The fence, which Is topped with strands of barbed wire, runs clear around the bouse. In the back are large barns. A new fence, fifteen feet high, surrounds the barns. This Is topped with barbed wire, too, and the chances are that trenches will be built to make headway more intricate for the curious. We stopped the rattler In front of the place In order to get a slant. First, we wanted to make sure to get one eye on the bull. We didn't spot tbe old boy, but from the side t>f the house we saw an excited Individual rush out. He was smoking a pill and waving hi* bands as though playing tag with the bees. It was Monsieur Descamps, manager of Georges Carpentier. He was yelling at the top of his voice

Corbett, Jeffries and Lonsdale May Be Judges of Championship Scrap

ATLANTIC CITY, May 18.—Jim Corbett, Jim Jeffries and Lord Lonsdale, who Is coming from London to witness the Dempsey-Carpentior fight, woqld make an ideal trio to sit at the ringside and Judge the contest. It has been suggested that In case the bout goes the limit and there is doubt regarding the winner, a committee named by members of the press could meet in New York after the fight and give a decision on which bets could be settled. No three men are better qualified to perform such a task than the two former champions and the great English sportsman. Their names were suggested here today by a person close to Dempsey, who prefers to remain unidentified. That such a committee will eventually be named now seems a certainty. Sentiment In favor of it Is gaining ground steadily and many newspaper men sounded out on the subject are ready to support the Idea. Under tbe laws of Jersey the referee of the big fight will be unable to render a decision and he will be duty bound not to announce his opinion In New York or elsewhere after the fight is over. Thus the naming of a committee seems the only way out for the popular demand for a decision la almost world-wide. According to Jack Kearns, manager of Dempsey, the referee probably will not be named until lata In June.

ders” today, but this was causing little thought la either camp. After their scrap with the Millers today, the Tribe breaks camp and heads for Milwaukee, where, they meet the Brewers In a four-game series, starting tomorrow and concluding with a Sunday afternoon scrap. From Milwaukee the Redskins hop on to Kansas City, whera they close tneir present road trip In a series with the Blues, lasting from Monday to Thursday, inclusive. After that it’s the trail to home, sweet home, for Chief Jack and his crowd of hustlers. Tex Covington, Indian captain and first sacker. Is rated as an absolute stranger to the hospital list by this time, the additional two days of rest having been u*ed mighty handily by him, although be was back in harness before they came, and he’ll be in there now with all his old zip. Elmer Lober, outfielder, recently purchased from Toledo, reported to the Brewers and will get Into the line-up tomorrow.

at some moving picture blokes who had set Up their machines in readiness to snap the French boxer. NO PICTURE STUFF GOES. “Mon dieu allez-voux en!” he chirped. Even the cows in the field yonder stopped chewing. He continued to yell and wave his hands; then lit anew pill, chattering all the while. He had neither hat nor collar on, having rushed down from his room. Captain Mallet, who Is interpreter-ln-chlef. strolled up at that moment and explained to the camera men that no moving pictures whatever are allowed to be taken at ibe camp. “Mr. Rickard has a contract with some people and they alone will take pictures In this camp,” he said. \ “Dempsey's were taken? Ah. yes, 'but that was at Summit, N. J. They were not taken at Dempsey's ‘official’ camp. Rickard will not allow one foot of film to be taken of either man in his official camp,’’ Captain Mallet explained to the boys that the joint was very private and that If they’d step out onto the road everybody would feel easier. Descamps, with his new pill half smoked, told Mallet something and then the captain said that the crowds, bothered the champion and that none but newspaper peoplo were to be allowed inside the fence. M. Descamps has ordered five new carloads of barbed wire and intends fencing In the whole estate, he added. MIGHT ROPE ENTIRE ISLAND. The writer wouldn’t be surprised to see the whole of Long Island roped in with, barbed wire before Descamps is finished. The Hempstead turnpike, which is the main road from New York and which runs along In front of the house, was simply packed with automobiles, horses and wagons, bicycles and motorcycles In the vicinity of the camp. Every delivery wagon In Nassua County seemed to be parked there. One farmer had his cow tied behind a flivver. When the bloke who owned the fllwer got ready to go he had to wait until he found the other bloke who owned the Holstein. The gang around Mauhasset haven't bad so much excitement since the day some Yap poured a bottle of red ink into the water trough by the station and all the horses in town had red noses.

Big League Stuff

Curt Walker’s hitting was too much for tlie Reds and the Giants made a clean sweep of the series. After driving In two runs earlier in the gome. Walker broke up the contest in the eleventh with a homer Lnte the stands. Cobb went hitless and the Senators nosed out his Tiger*. Three Athletic pitchers couldn’t stop the White Sox, who made it four straight The subs got the most hits, but the Braves’ wallops were more timely and they won. The league leading Pirates added another to their string*by walloping the lowly Phillies. Babe Ruth’s twelfth homer came with no one aboard and the Yanks dropped the last of their series with the Indians. By vicious slugging, the Dodger* finally broke their losing streak, beating the Cardinals. Meyers weakened for a moment in the eighth and the Browns shoved two runs across, enough to win from the Red Sox. Paddock Will Race ’Em All in His Back Yard LOS ANGELES, May 18.—If any Eastern track men want to race against Charles Paddock, University of Southern California sprinter and claimant of several world records, he will meet them at the National A. A. U. meet in Pasadena, In July, he said in a statement made public here Tuesday. Paddock sold that because of an Illness, which has kept him at home for three weeks, and because he must devote his time to his school work for the remainder of the college year, he could not go East to take part in meets there. "I shall then meet all the Eastern men who care to run against me,” he said. "I understand Eastern timers also will be present and so they, too, at that time, will have an see for themselves whether Western timers have been favoring Western men in events in which I have competed.

tsgfejgljjr When is Fuel Cheap? Cheapness is always relative. Compared with prices of 1916 and earlier years, all fuel Is now very dear. Compared with prices of 1920 nearly all fuels are now very cheap. Compared -with prices that will doubtless prevail next winter, with only a moderate revival of business and a normal winter, all fuel prices are now cheap. IT IS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY in the matter of your next winter's coal supply. We are much more interested in getting our own coal at low prices than in selling our coke at high prices. But It is our solemn conviction that coal will be higher next winter, instead of lower than It now Is. Avery large amount of coal is now being offered at less than cost of mining—Just as we are offering ByProduct Coke at less than cost of manufacture —because operators are trying to keep up their organizations and hoping for a business revival before their losses break them. If there is a business revival, coal prices will go up; if there is not, many more mines will close down. Therefore, we believe that the present is the time to buy fuel, and we call attention to the fact that we are now selling By-Product Coke at the lowest prices In our history—TAKlNG INTO ACCOUNT THE ENORMOUS INCREASE OF MINING COSTS AND FREIGHT RATES OVER THOSE OF 1916.

HEAT OF MAJOR SCRAPS GROWS Giants Shorten Gap With Pirates and Yanks Pas3 Speaker’s Club. NEW YORK, May 18.—Major leagm pennant races were considerably tightened by the second number of the EastWest aeries Just ended. The Giants closed on the leading Pirates ar-d the Yankees took the lead away from tbe Cleveland Indians. Pat Moran was treated like anything but a guest on the Polo Ground*, tha Giants taking four straight games. The St. Louis Cardinals, on the other hand, acted like anything but guest* over ltf the Brooklyn section, an<f took three out rs. four from the Robin*. Pittsburgl did well to get two out of three from the Phils and the Braves and Cubs split even. The Yankees pulled the big surprise in the American League by going into Cleveland and taking three out of four games from the champions. Tha New Yorkers went West in a rather pessimistic mood, but the team rallied and ha* lost but two games on the trip. Washington got an unpleasant reception in Detroit, where the Tigers took three out of four games There was also some more evidence that makes it look as If Walter Johnsojt were through. The White Sox mopped up the Athletics with four straight victories and the Browns and Red Sox split even. Pittsburgh will have more tough meat for the rest of the trip with the Robins and the Giants. Cleveland, however, should be able to rest up on the Athletics, and the Yanks should not have much trouble with the White Sox. A. B. C.s After Monarch Scalp in Big Contest C. I. Taylor’s A. B. C. ball tossers had a chance to cop the laurels of their series with the Kansas City Monarchs in the fifth and closing game of their affair at Washington Park this afternoon, and they were determined to step out and* turn the trick. Tl.e A.s evened th© game count at two-all by hanging it on the Monarchs, 14 to 11, in a slugfest yesterday afternoon. Manager Taylor was considering a switch in bis line-up again this afternoon so that his strongest possible combination would be batting against the Kansas City club, and the locals were ready to fight hard every minute. The A. B. C.B got fourteen hits off Crawford and Rogan yesterday, against sixteen for the visitors off Johnson and Latimer, but Taylor’s men got theirs when hits meant runs, and came through with the long end of the count. The Monarchs tried hard to rally in the late rounds, but tbe locals stopped them every time by some brilliant work in the field. MASON TO OMAHA. OMAHA, Neb..
