Autumobo!! racing unlike ether sports has little room for yo-jthful prod:g:f-s. Tho Hol'.arhcrs. Francis OuimPt?, Penny Kauffs and Ivcbby Jonses of other pastimes don't last long behind the wheel of a I wo-m ile-a-mlnute racing car. They are kii'.ed off too quickly. The successful driver of the modern, high-speed machine with its aeroplane motor must possess exceptional Judgment and pelf control that comes rnr with mature years. The impetuosity of youth the unchecked desire to take a chance only spells disaster in the heat of a gruelling race on the auto speedways. The .'xcltenient and fascination of the dangerous sport attracts many younir recruits, but they soon either pay the penalty of over-rashness or gracefully switch to n milder form cf livelihood. The b-st evidence of this Is shown In the selection of the drivers to compete in the International Sweepstakes at the Chicago Speedway on Sunday afternoon, July ZS. Th management decided In arranging the race to select the five greatest drivers in an effort to determine Just who Is the best. After going the f.elii most carefully the following were selected: Ralph Dn Palma of. Italy, greatest all around champion the game has ever known; Dario Keata rf lungland, Speedway champion for 1915-1915; Arthur ruray of Belgium, world's speed champion; P.alph Mulford of the United Btates. twenty-four hour champion; Louis Chevrolet of France, Speedway champion for 1915. The "daddy of all the drivers" Is Chevrolet who has Just passed his fiftythird birthday. The daring Frenchman has beer, manipulating tho racing wheel for twenty years end is better today than ever before. Scores of young chaps have tried to drive the veteran into ret;remnt, but lie H still fianhing along with the best of them. Last year ha won tho Speedway championship In a race ot SheepsheaJ Bay in which he covered 1"0 miles at an nveraga speed of 110 miles on hour. In tha recent Chicago Derby ho won over tho 100 mile route by averaging 10S miles an hour. Only lat Thursday he capturnd the 112 mile race at tho Vniontown, Pa., speedway. Now lia is engaged in defending his title against the greatest drivers in the world. How old do you think Balph Dn Palma Is? In the cr.rly twenties, would be the natural answer if one was to Judge solely by th champion's youthful appearance. Hut T! Palma is fast approaching tho forty year mark. The dare-devil Italian, possessing- rare mechanical genius r-nd steadiness when In action, began his racing career when but a mere kid. but he was one of the few to survive the early critical fetage. Put there is no telling how many years the nam ft of P Palma will be flashed the winner in many of th important raving events. P.alph has no idea of quitting the strenuous sport. On the contrary, tho sprint king intends to compete in all the important contests tviis c-cifon especially to triumph over his g. latest rival Parlo Resta. And R-sta. speed king of 1915-16, Is
another old staKcr as auto racers go. He has passed thirty-eight, an age when an athlete in any line o,f sporting endeavor would be due for retirement. Ralph Mulford is as old as Resta and declares that he will be racing for the next fifteen or twenty years. Duray. European champion and holder of the world's record of 147 miles an hour, is 4S years old, but seems to grow better with tge. So when these veteran speed kings clash t the Chicago speedway on next Sunday afternoon to race for their own money the battle should be worth going miles to see.
OWNERS MEET IT CLEVELAND TO CLOSE SHOP
B. B. Johnson, president of the American league. William Harridge. his secretary, and Harry Grabiner. secretary of the White Sox. left last night for Cleveland to attend the special meeting p the club owners, at which it is expected they will vote to obey Secretary of War Baker's work or fight order by disband'n? th"ir teams after today's gajnes, so that their players may enlist or engage i:i war work. Before leaving Mr. Johnson said the only new- development of the day in the American league situation was the receipt of a wire from President Comiskey of the White Sox. who is at his Wisconsin camp. Comfskey wired: "From the "information I have on hand. I do not see how It is possible for us to go on. Am In favor of closing the ball parks at once. Harry will represent me at the meeting." Play Games Scheduled. The master of the world's champions did not see even enough hope to make It necessary or him to attend the special session. To avoid possible complications. President Johnson wired all menagers to piny the games scheduled for today and until a legal vote had been ti'kon by the club owners to discontinue the schedule. Otherwise tangles might arise that would complicate the problem of winding up the business affairs of the organization. Mr. Johnson reiterated his opinion that the club owners woald decide to close their gates "at once," as the majority of them believe that is the wish of the administration, reading between the lines of Secretary Baker's ruling. They do not desire, he en Id. to go contrary to the government's purpose by any subterfuge, nor do they believe it patriotic to ask for erecial favors in the matter of delay for tho purpose of adjusting their business to the unexpected situation. Quick Decision Expected. The Cleveland team ended its season with a double heAder yesterday and th Indians will not return east, as the second games cf yesterday's bill was moved up from today's schedule. But the games booked for the White Box in Washington. Detroit in Boston, and St. Louis in New Torlc will be played, conditions permitting, and those probably will wind up the season, es it is expected tho club owners will reach a decision quickly.

I SOLO HARP
What is it? What is it for? It gives musical variety to the piano, just as flutes, clari
nets, saxophones add variety to an orchestra, the Solo-Harp adds zither, guitar, banjo, ukulele, mandolin and other orchestral effects to piano music. Come to our store and listen to the Wilborn Solo-Harp Player and you will immediately conclude that other player pianos lack the musical soul of the Wilborn. Price $425 until August 1st, 1918.

the last heard from him he. was grinding out copy on a Sranlsh newspaper. Jack has a etreak of humor in him. and they say that he Is doing quite well in writing stuff for one of the newly formed political parties In the land of King Alfonso, where everyone has been sneezing so much of late. Dorgan says that Johnson recently wrote a letter asking for the address of several negro heavyweights he used to know when in the States. He wants them to come to Spain to gtv boxing exhibitions with him. An American who met Johnson in Europe some tl.me ago said that the former champion cried like a baby when speaking of his old home in Chicago and his black mammy, now dead. He said that he had spent over $100,000 fighting the white slave charge against him. and had to flee the country at last when he found himself without funds. After Jess Wills rl had dfeated Johnson for the championship at Havana, he watched all the Americans going down to the pier to board the steamer for home. "Good luck, big fellow," he said to Willard. "You beat me all right, and I wish you luck. My title is gone, but I would give It ten times over if I could just step on that boat and leave it when It hits the States and walk down the gang plank a free man." Johnson fought Blink McCloskey, cf Philadelphia, not so long ago. ' Their meeting took place in Madrid. Writlugr to a friend in America about the fight, McCloskey says: "Well, I guess you ers anxious to know how I came cut in my scrap -with Jack Johnson, former champion. Well, I fought him. as I wrote ycu I would, and you can bellevs that I was surprised myself at the thow'.ng I made against
him. He had eighty pounds the best of me, weighing 245, while I stripped at 165. which was a big handicap. The best he could do against me was nothing at all, but it was too bad for me. as I broke my thumb in the fourth round.
You can Imagine how Johnson has gone back and how I have Improved. I am better than when you saw me !n London. I received 15.000 pesetos. which is $3,000 In our money."
