Bill Cummings Turns to Skates

Another Cummings

jojned the

Derby last night. For out onto the Fair Grounds.track, to the amazement of everyone, probably including himself, rolled Wild Bill Cummings, who only two days before had set a new one-lap record for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. : Officials of the Derby had said that they expected Bill to make an appearance any timé. He had shown a great interest in the roller sport, but they doubted if he could ever reach the track on his feet. However, the smiling, moustached man who turns autos around the brick oval .at dizzy. speeds, took it easy on the Coliseum raceway. The eyent in which Mr. Cummings made his appearance was billed as an Old Timers Race, and was won by Bus Trusty, 1529 E. Michigan St. Close up to the leader were Harold Rhine and John Jelf, employees of The Times and Harold Hawks, a member of the Federal Players troupe. An argument between Wes Aronson and Jack Cummings, which ended with a blow from the former to the latter, was the unly interruption in last night's regular skating. Wes was placed in the penalty box for the evening and his partner,
