Three German Mercedes Entered in Eleventh 500-Mile Classic

FIRST ENTRIES IN BIG RACE SINCE THE WAR Ralph De Palma Piloted a Mercedes to Victory in 1915, Last Appearance, <Germany is going to be represented by three Mercedes cars in the eleventh running of the international 500-mile race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Wednesday. Max 30, it was announced today by T. E. Myers, general manager of the local motor bourse. The entries came as n result of Myers' visit to the Mercedes factory in Germany last summer. The Daimler Motoren Geseilschaft, Stuttgart Unterturkheim, Germany, is entering the mounts and the machines will arrive here early in May to start preparations for the speed classic. Mercedes Won in 1915 This year will he the first time a German car has competed in the 500mile event since 1915. when Ralph De Palma drove a Mercedes mount to victory here and established a record that held until Jimmy Murphy made his spectacular drive in 1922 and brought the speed mark for the 500 miles up to 94.48 inilea an hour. Unlike Yankee race car builders. German car3 usually are driven by factory workers. It has been a custom in German race circles to let the men who build the machines act as pilots. Therefore it is thought three old-line German speed drivers will be found at the wheels of the Mercedes here Slay 30. far (onstrurtion Good German racing car makers have been competing in big events in the European racing countries, except France, for more than a year and their showing, especially in Italy, has been glowing. Their mechanical skill has been evident in the construction of the smaller motor cars of 122 cubic inches piston displacement, which will be the type of car eligible in the next 500 mile grind. The Mercedes entrance in the international event here points to an unusually heavy list of foreign entries in an attempt to take the auto racing laurels of the world, defended successfully in America for three successive years, hack over seas, where they were held from 1913 to 1919 inclusive.

Chuck Hides Self Behind Barrage of Boxing Gloves SAILOR of Kalamazoo, Mich., is a pugilist. And like all pugilists he enjoys to dream now and then of what the future holds for him in the ring. But the other night Sailor had a reg-lar dream: in fact, it was more on the order of a nightmare. Gagnon was scheduled to go ten rounds with Chuck Wiggins of Indianapolis. In the third round the bell saved him from a kayo after he had found the canvas throe times. In the middle of tho fourth session, however, Wiggins put over a sleep-producing punch. And as Sailor was being carried to his dressing room he rallied somewhat, and, glancing up into tho face of his manager, he said “1 thought Mr. Wiggins was to bo here tonight? ' "He was here,” said the manager. “But 1 didn’t see him.” whispered the fighter. "Why, he was right hi the ring with you,” was the reply. “Then he must have been hiding behind all those gloves ’cause I never saw him.” said Gagnon with a sigh as he sank back or. the stretcher to dream soee more. t
