May 16.—Jim Tracey, a large young man from Australia, who has been about the premises these many months utt.cing strange sounds about a fistic encounter with Jack Dempsey, Is to make his first appearance In an American ring tonight. James Is the heavyweight champion of Australia, and knowing something of the pugilistic tendencies of Australian champions, the promoters were intelligent enough to dismiss Dempsey from the equation at this time. Tracey is to meet Bill Brennan to- , niglit and while Bill is no champion, he is a tough nut for any man's knuckles. The chances are that he will cakewalk with Tracey, unless the latter Is better than the average run of Antlpodeans. IbasebaCD] SI ANDINGS ' ANH—--1 CALENDAR 1 AMERICAN ASSOCIATION. ~ Won. Lost. Vet.

Detroit Springs Surprise by Great Showing in East; Rookie Pitchers Deliver NEW YORK. May 18.-Ty Cobb may reach the point where he can realize that the last chuckle Is the loudest, lb* longest and the funniest. Ty lays claim to an outfit of possibly the most sincere hitters In baseball, but he was supposed to have an anaemic plt’hlng staff, and therefore, no sort of a ball club to tie io. His vehement claims to the contrary brought an Indulgent smile from the critics. Howevei. the Tigers, within a single week have moved up from last place In the American I.eague to a tie for third, and the answer, among other things. Is pitching. They took four straight from the Red Sox and then came on to win three out of four from the Yankee*, n youth by the name of 1.11 Stori“r holding rlie champions to three hits yesterday. Pillette. another recruit, Is going groat guns, and Cole. Ehmkp and others are advancing from time to time with tidy performances. If that staff holds up at all they won’t be aide to keep the Tigers out of the tlrst division. Unusual Ball Game PES MOINES.

Pete trotted his ear. the eighth cylinder Fronty with which Tommy Milton won the race last year, out on the track and sprung the big surprise of the day by reeling off a lnp at exactly 100 miles an hour, thereby setting at rest ail misgivings as to the phllify of the youngster to travel in fast company free from the De Palma apron strings. Eddie Hrarne was wearing the •mile that won’t come off and all because be has teamed up with Jules Goux and In the blue Ballot he expects to have the best car lie ever lias driven in the Indianapolis race, ills first time out yesterday was a thriller. Hearne's Ballet is not yet ready to ramble and he took n practice spin with Jimmy Williams in the car to be driven by Goux. Going down the backstretch a backfire in the carburetor set off tho fireworks anti for a minute or two it whs even money whether tho flames would spread to the gasoline tank. The contents of two fire extinguishers were shot into the fire, which became discouraged but refused to go out of business entirely. Williams then sacrificed modesty to duty, peeled off his meehanle's stilt and smoth ered the tire with It. He finished the trip
