fusely and barely managed to reach the pits before he collapsed. Mechanician rinishas Kaca. Shannon's mechanician finished the race and no report of the peculiar accident was made to the officials, so It did not become known until today. Since he was taken to the hospital the driver has had an almost continuous series of hemorrhages, and these It Is reported, are likely to prove fatal. Checking of the timing tapes, which were badly confused, has made several changes in the results of the race as announced yesterday. Seventh Place to Boyer.

Chevrolet was driving at the finish. Chevrolet, it appears, crossed the line twenty-eight one hundredths of a second behind Ralph De Palma, but for some reason the scorers didn't get it that way at the moment.

"Willard supervised the final touches on the ring In which, he will prepare for the fight. The big champion was In rare good humor today. ""Who's going: to win?" he laughed when questioned. "What do you 'spose I came all the

jiway from the Pacific coast for, to take

a beating? I am going to win, of course. I want to keep my biggest asset, tho title, and to do that I must trim Jack Dempsey." "Willard did not minimize the fact that he would have quite a scrap on his hands.

HARBOR TOO MUCH FOR CHICAGO RAPHAELS In a very much one-sided game, which ended with a score of 13 to 2. the Harbor boys added another win to their list. For the first two Innings the game looked as though both teams were rretty well matched but it did not take long for the boys to get out and at them. Rogers, second sacker for the Harbor started the big drive in the third inning. He poles out a drive for one base, steals second and also third and comes home on a wild pitch from pitcher to third. This proved too much for the Raphael pitcher, who seemed to have lost everything he had. After that it was just hit and run. Galik was on the slab for the Harbors and was held up by Kroupa who has returned after being absent for the last game or two on account of a sprained ankle. At times Galik was also hit hard but with good support in pinches and heady pitching he got out of all his trouble with no damage whatever. Sunday, Just 1, the Harbors will cross bats with the All-American negro team from Chicago. This team has just come back from everseas and is said to be managed by Rube Foster. The boys are

PEERLESS A. C. WALLOPS OLYMPICS

The Peerless A. C. of East Chicago enjoyed another victory of the landslide affair. Decoration Day, when they walloped the Hammond Olympics to a 19 to 3 score at Morris Park, Hammond. The Peerless batters banged Eddie Chiemewlski's offerings ofr 24 safe bingles. Among the casualities were 5 doubles, 2 triples and 1 homer. Teecher, flinging for the Teerless, was too good for the Hammond lads. His fast delivery made the Pennsy flier look like a freight train going through Kansas, and it was this same fast ball

i that had the Olympic batters swinging

at the air. This makes the sixth consecutive victory the Peerless A. C. have won. They have not lost a game this season and they still look good for a few more victorys. Score: Peerless A.

THE BEDS and Pirates split their Sabbath double header and by grace of the Dodgers' defeat, the Beds moved into second place. SPEAKING of hitting, the Phillies collected twenty-three. The Dodgers had to satisfy themselves with only nineteen. VAUGHJN landed three singles and drew a walk (n four trips to the plate and allowed but six scattered hits whll

the Cubs were beating the Cards.
