Ralph DePalma, that favorite son of speed wno turned defeat int fane here In 112 and then won in 1915, will pilot a home made car, the Puesenberg, in the event. He hag abandoned the foreign cars he has been piloting with little or no success In the last few years for a speed creation of America., In the hope that he can show hi tires to the other drivers at the finish wire. Our own "Handsome Howdy" Wilcox, who won In 191S, will try to repeat Jn te Feugrect he has been tuning- up over the bricks of 'i'e local ove.1 all winter.

Hearne was the first driver to enter the bis race and wiil carry the numeral 1 on his car. Tommy Milton, who has more titles than any of the pilots, will bring a new car made in California, to the race. Milton was victorious here In 1J21.

Mae Harvey, of Is Angeles, the only woman in racing, has entered her Frontenac in the race and nomiated Jerry Wouderli-h to drive. But Jerry says he can't drive it because lie has purchased a Puesenberg. Any way, both cars and Jerry will be in the race and there are always more Rood drivers than cais ready to face the starter.

CMP WILLING TO BOX

PARIS, Ap:il 6. Charles B. Cochran, who was ona of the original promoters if the Pempsey-Carpen-tier match in Jersey City, but withdrew before the fight, has been sounding out Georges Carpentler in regard to a return match with Dempsey when the champion arrives in Europe. Manager Francois! Des-camps, for Carpentier. stated that Georges would tight Dempsey again should the public demand appear great enough. Descampa also declared Carpentier's willingness to meet the winner of a match between Harry Grcb and Gene Tunney, the American light heavyweight champion.

MAY HOLD GIG BOUT IN JERSEY

By DAVIS J. WALSH (International News Sports Kditor) NEW YORK. April 5. It is now being set fort bin all good faith that Jack Dempsey, blonde, and Harry Wills, brunette, are to put on their proposed heavyweight championship bout at Jersey City in the not too distant future. Frank Flournoy and the eminent Mr. Kiekard, who collaborated on the Wil-lard-Dempaey affair at Toledo, are to be the promoters, it seems, Dempsey is due to reach New Tork in a day or so and will sail for Europe on the Aquitonia April 11, but before he goes he will be shown the dotted line and &ked to do his duty. On tho other han.l. if Jersey is disposed to look unkindly upon this extravaganza in black and white, there will be no bout at all and Dempsey will be constrained to peddle his highly esteemed services around Europe, where there is little money in sight and none too overwhelming desire to sec the American in a bout with a European mediocrity. Europe reejns to have become quite philosophical about Dempsey. It is admitted over there that he i better than any man the Old World can muster; therefore, why make him prove it? That beim? the esse, it is altogether likely that if anything can be done about a Will's contest in thia country, the champion will not go to Europe. The bouts he has in prospect there with Eombardier Wells, Joe Beckett and Carpentier are not particularly alluring from a financial standpoint. These are being viewed abroad aa nothing more than exhibitions and no fighter ever buttered his bread with exhibition money.

Lowest Priced Six Cylinder Sedan

IN the intense effort of manufacturers to reduce closed car prices, the Cleveland Automobile Company with its impressive sedan has fairly outstripped competitors. This virile and superbly luxurious six costs only $400 more than the Cleveland touring car. This reduction constitutes an am&xing achievement

The average difference, as found by com- , paring touring car and sedan prions of the 52 leading manufacturers of 5-passenger cars is $754, almost double the Cleveland margin. Only two small fours have a difference as low as $400. No other real sedan with a six -cylinder motor is priced as low as the Cleveland.

It Is a Genuine Sedan Not a Compromise

The body is Ftsher-built and is comparable in size, finish and luxurious appointment to sedans costing $700 to $900 more. It is as substantial and solid in its construction as it looks. It is as wind proof and rainproof as the highest priced sedans built It will remain firm and free from leaks and rattles during many years of luxurious and satisfying service.

It embodies all the features which the experience of the entire industry shows are essential in a fine closed car. It is not an experiment in which the buyer takes all the risk.
