Fastest Men in Motorcycledom Will Straddle Bikes

Next Sunday. Northern Indiana's next big rpetxl fver.t will ba the motorcycle race card at the Porter Speedway neit Sunday. July 17. Announcement of the date was sent broadcast last week by Jack Leech cf Hammond who is 'backing the races. The response has nearly taien him off l is feet. Leech started the Porte season early. The opening event brougrht a great turnout of fast riders from the central territory. The second race was pulled with mostly Lake and Porter county boys competing owing to the fact that riders of national repute were participating in somv of the country's big classics whose dates -onflieted with Porter's. Next Sunday will see some of the fastest speed merchants of the motor ycle ganw artrkle their rounts at I'orter. Several have s'.jjnctl their entry papers by trie middle of last week. More came in yesterday and others are on their way. These national stars with the usual run of local favorites are expected to make the number of entries greater than at any meet ever held in this part of the state. Ka'.ph Hepburn who won the 300-r-.ile championship at Dodge City and who has appeared at Porter several f. rr.es -is coming- So is Ked Parkhurst wrr.ner of the 200-mile championship at Marion in 1013 . H s another popular boy with local fans. Paul Anderson of Hammond has been doing a. little strutting of lato. He has branched out In the championship class, hav. ing won the Ohio state championship in the 25-mi!e class. Paul also holds the Porter track record and is itching to defend it against all comers. Walter Korn who tore up the dirt on aif Indian last year Is no,w riding an l.xcelsior and win be here Sunday. Cropp and. Hoover, two local favorites with plenty of speed, will not disap

point their friends. The Indian w-ill bo represented by at least two riders, it is said, but thair identity has not been disclosed. Leech tried calcium chorlde on the track as a dust layer at the last race. It did not not come up to speclf.caitions. Last week he put a gang of workmen on the track, giving it a coat of oil. Ha hesitated in using the oil iraatment but is determined to rid his patrons of the dust nuisance which in Z the past has kept many people awe.y. Sunday's races at the Roby truck which had be-en traeted with oil convinced the public that dust can be eliminated to a great extent. t s

GEORGES SIGNS WITH KM TO DEFEND TITLE IN OCTOBER

TAGGING AIL THE BASES ? By JACK VEIOCK : I. N. S. Sport Editor

Ivy Olson started. a Sth inning rally foi the Dodgers that enabled them to coSne from behind and beat Pittsburgh. The Tankees broke two records at Chicago, beating Dick Kerr and the White Sox on the same day. Beating Iick has heretofore beea Greek to the Yapks. Babe Ruth got his thirty-second homer, and Eob Meusel also.bangred one out. Rain aided the Phillies to a victory when it prevented the Ca.ris from completing the 9th inning by taking the field after having tied up the

score, which reverted back to the 8th. The Red Sox took two games from Detroit with Pennock and Sam Jones on-the mound and timely hitting behind them. The Cubs punished Fred Toney while Cheeves held the Giants at bay. A double by Ford.a triple by McQuillan and a base on balls to Gowdy enabled the Braves to trim the Keds in an eighth Inning rally. '

NE YORK. July 12. Georges curpentier Is going- to oblige once more. This time the famous French fighter will defend his light heavyweight laurels against some opponent who will be selected by Tex Rickard. and it Is expected that the contest will be staged during the second week in October at the big arena in Jersey City. The papers were signed for this new quarrel yesterday afternoon. Francois Deschamps, manager of Carpentler, and his confidential aid. Capt. Mallet, called on Rickard to settle the necessary details bt-fore Georges sails for home on the La Savoie on Thursday.

PIRATS IN TWILIGHT GAME Wednesday night the fast Hammond Pirates will tackV the strong lieeehNut A- C. at Harrison Park. The Beech-Nuts will have all first class ball players from Hammond as it took them three months to get this good team together. The Pirates will have their same lineup as used in every game. ' This sure is going to be some gamo as Manager Clarence Barman of the Beech-Nuts has the team in good shape.

GRED MAY BE THE CHOICE. Now that Carpentier has been signed up, it is believed Rickard will take his sweet time before he names the Frenchman's next opponent. Harry Greb, the Pittsburgh light heavyweight, will, no doubt, come in for considerable consideration. and it

would not be surprising if he were the i

final choice. Not having heard anything from Tom Gibbons, it is believed Rickard is somewhat peeved at the action of the St. Paul boxer and may pass him up without any further consideration. The choice, however, appears to rest between those two men.

Daisies Mistaken for Sheep. In New Zealand there is to be found a member of the dalsyjfamily which is so large that it is often mistaken for a sheep ia the distance. It grows in exposed places and the branches of the plant are covered with small leaves which greatly resemble the wool of sheep. The shape of the plant and th flowers add toC the deception. It is sometimes called the vegetable sheep.

S CATENAS BRING HOME THE BACON

Sunday, June 10th. the Scatena Colts traveled to Koufs, Indiana, and beat of all the Scats defeated the Kouts boys by the score of 7 to 1. The game was featured by some very good pitching done by Denver Haynes. who is now the star ' twirlcr for the well known Scats. Haynes sure had the Kouts- boys eating $ut of his hand all the time. He allowed the Kouts team 4 hits and struck out 14 men. Besides pitching a wonderful game this boy Haynes knocked out a home run in the TtTi Tnning with 2 nen on case. fcSky Meyer's lead the Scats in batting Sunday with 4 hits to his credit in 5 times to bat. North also d.id some- nice stlrx work receiving 2 two base hits and a single in 5 trips to the plate.

JOHNNY MOSTIL TOO SHY, SOX FANS THINK It is thought Toughening up A Bit Would Add to His Efficiency. Do ball players have to be "hard boiled" as they say in the streets before they can make good as major leaguers? Some one said the other day that Johnny Mostil, of Hammond. crack little outfielder for the White Sox, would be a much better player If he was not self-conscious. The person speaking was the former president of a minor league and for years a prominent figure in the national pastime. "Mostil is prone to think too much of little mistakes he makes.J' said the authority. "If he uttered a little "cus word' now and then and spoke right up in meeting when he had the occasion, I believe he would be one of the greatest outfielders of all time. He has all the qualifications of a star. He is -fast, a natural hitter, a fairly quii'k thinker and there never was a more willing boy." The person speaking was right. Mostil is a reticent type of ball player. He is good-natun-d. slow to anger and he feels keenly the commission of an errr in the field. MOSTIC IS VERY SHY. Not long ago several thousand of his friends planned and executed a

Mostil day at Comiskey park. It was a great success in evpry way, but Mostil, shy as a school girl, said afterward that he wished himself a thousand miles from the ball grounds on the

occasion. "It makes a fellow nervous to have his friends expecting a lot and then turn In an ordinary game of ball." said the former Milwaukee star. His assertion explained a lot about his disposition. The baseball authority who said "toughening up a bit" would help Mostil may have been about nine-tenths right, but there are many players who are not garrulous on the. diamond and who have become stars through their quiet, gentlemanly qualities. There is Capt. Eddie Collins of the Sox infield, Harry Hooper, former captain of the Boston Red Sox and now attached to the White Sox roster; Amos Strunk and Dick Kerr of the Sox statf who are usually quiet, earnest workers and they get there uccause of those qualities.

THAT'S OUR "IDEA in making CAMELS the Quality Cigarette. Why, just buy Camels and look slI the pack'age-I It's the best packing science has devised to keep cigarettes fresh anJ full flavored for your taste. Heavy paper outside secure foil wrapping inside and the revenue stamp over the end to seal the package and keep it air-tight. And note this! There's nothing flashy about the Camel package. No extra wrappings that do not improve the smoke. Not a cent of needless expense that must come out of the quality of the tobacco. ' Camels wonderful and exclusive Quality wins on merit alone. Because, men smoke Camels who want the taste and fragrance of the finest tobaccos, expertly blended. Men smoke Camels for Camels smooth, refreshing mildness and their freedom from cigaretty aftertaste. V Camels are made for men who think for themselves.
