GALAXY OF STARS IN BIG PORTER RACES
Ray Claypool, the youthful Texas pilot, who stepped into the front ranks of the dirt track drivers by capturing twelve bis races In the mid-west and southern states, Is going to be one of the starters in the championship auto races, which will be held at the Porter race track
on May 14. Claypool entry has Just been received by Ben Helwig and It
indicates that the coming meet is going to have the best drivers in
the game aa contestants.
Claypool has put in several years
on the dirt ovals, but he did not begin to show real class until 1919 when he drove one of the fleet Hudson cars. Last year he was on the payroll of the Simplex Company. He
succeeded in shattering many records with his new Simplex, that Louis Disbrow put across the boards many years ago with the old famous
Simplex Zip.
Claypool is flckle when it comes to cars and this season he Is driving
one of the new Miller creations.
He always wants the latest 'and failing to secure a new foreign mount, he purchased Tom Alley's
Miller several weeks ago. The world's speed king was not desirous of letting the "Miller" go, but when he saw the manner In which Claypool handled the cars in several spring races in the west, he knew that the car's past reputation would be carefully guarded. Clay-pool's heart Is set upon winning the dirt track title this year and he expects to score sufficient points to take away the honor. Twenty points which go toward deciding the I. M. C. A. championship will be awarded the driver winning the long race here, and thl3 will be an extra inducement to all starters.
DIAMONDS
BEAT DODGERS
The Diamond A. C.s hit Sencak and Bedna opportunely at Whiting Sunday afternoon and won their second straight victory by defeating the Whiting Dodgers 18 to 4. Pitcher Block was a puzzle to the boys of the Oily City all through the game, and Loda, who is known as the star junior catcher in Lake county, did the receiving for Block and sure held his reputation by showing the fans what a real backstop he Is. The Whiting boys scored their runs in the second, third and fourth innings. , The Diamond A. C.'a best Innings were the second and third, when Eckert, Cubsy and Block hit their famous home runs. Schot and Zurad tripled; Wietecha and O'Brien doubled. Kid Stogie. Bast Chicago's laziest man, was the star rooter and received his regular size chew -or Copenhagen. The Diamond A. C.s visit the fast White Eagles of West Hammond next Sunday, so let's go, fans, and make it three straight.

Zlggy Miller is back, and they have his services, and they claim to have a well-balanced ball club. This game will be called at 3 o'clock sharp.

On account of the death of Mrs. Umpleby, wife of the baseball manager, the game that was scheduled between the Colonials and Umpieby's had to be called oft.

Owing to lack of space in last night's issue of The Times, mention was not made of the splendid pitching turned out by both moundsmen in last Sun-day's 14-inning game between the Hammond K. of C.s and Kouts, Ind., which wound up by the score of 4 to 3 in favor of the latter.
Considering the fact that Kouts
has a ball club made up entirely of
hired semi-pro players from out of
the city, too much credit cannot be given Hilbrlch for the wonderful showing he made against this first class outfit. All told, Kouts made 11 hits throughout the 14 innings, and Hilbrich was careful to keep the blows pretty well scattered. In only one round, and that was the fourteenth, did Kouts make more than two hits. Hilbrich's support was bad In spots, four errors being charged against his mates; but as a whole the fielding on both sides was good. Particular credit going to Boyle and Flynn for a couple of corking catches In the oufleld. Matty, playing left field, and Weinke at third and Guzinske on short were the outstanding stars for Kouts. Kalner, who is captain of the guards at the Michigan City state prison, does the pitching for Kouts and that he is no slouch Is evidenced by the fact that he let Hammond down with 7 measly hits, while he struck out 16 men. He
also had wonderful control. Issuing
only one base on balls against two for Hilbrich. This !n itself is a remarkable feat on the part of both pitchers, as a total of only three
bases on balls In a 14-innlng game shows exceptionally good control, and both hurlers are to be com
mended highly for their good work.
On next Sunday, the Hammond K.
of C.s will open up their season In the K. of C. Suburban league with
Whiting as their opponents for the first game. This game will be played at the Harrison Park diamond, and Manager Heimbach is busy making arrangements to handle a monster crowd for this gala event. Either a band or an orchestra will be engaged to head a parade, made up of both contending clubs, who will form in line of march followed b ythe fans promptly at 2 P. M. at the club rooms on East Sibley St.. and thence to Harrison Park. Whiting played their first league game last Sunday, when they defeated East Chicago by the score of 20 to 4. So it looks like they will be prepared to give the Hammond team plenty of opposition.

Car pn tier, left, and Ted Lewis. A few admirers of Ted Lewis believe that this English welterweight who has starred iu the U. S. for years, has a chance to lick Georges Carpentier, light heavyweight king of the world, when the pair meet May 11 in London. But Carpentier is generally picked to win the battle rather decisively. Lewis has one big asset which most of Carp's opponents have lacked brilliant ring generalship and strategy.
LEXINGTON FIRE KILLS 31 HORSES LEXINGTON", Ky.. May 10. Fire at the Lexington track of the Kentucky Jockey Club last night destroyed the stable of J.

SPEEDWAY
RACE LONE WOLF AFFAIR
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. May 10. Vlthough there are a number of
Duesenbergs and Frontenacs entered In the international 500-mlle
drive for aproxlmately $100,000 at
the Indianapolis Motor" Speedway,
Tuesday, May 30, there is no team
spirit among the drivers.
Every one of the speed demons
is out for himself. In the case of
the men who are piloting for Louis
Chevrolet and his Frontenac the
driver takes all the purse he can haul down with victory. The Duesenbergs have leased their cars to the individual drivers and they are
aill out for themselves. In most
Instances the Duesenberg drivers
either own their own cars or are
paying for them out of their win
nings, as per contract.
Of course both factories, which
are located in Indianapolis, are do
ing everything possible to assist
the drivers in preparing the cars to win. But their aim Is to win the
race with their car not further the
prestige of any one driver.
There has been so much changing
of mounts by drivers this year that the rivalry Is even Increased among
the speed demons. For Instance, Roscoe Sarles Jumped his Duesen
berg for a Frontenac, while Jules
Ellingboe did just the opposite.
Ralph DePalma, always a favorite.
skipped out of his Ballot into a Duesenberg while Jimmy Murphy.
who always has been a Duesenberg
mainstay, is to drive what is said to be a duplicate car of his rival of old. Tommy Milton, most titled of drivers, has been driving with such success on Pacific Coast tracks. So it is evident that everyone will be out for himself. It will be In the main a lone wolf race. It Is possible that two drivers might pool their interests one to go out and
"beat It" In an attempt to drive the faster cars off their wheels, with a bare possibility of keeping up a consistent pace, calculated to be within winning distance as the race wanes. This has often been the case. But it is more likely, because of the drivers taking the big portion of the gold earned by their cars, that they will .be reluctant to enter any compact with other drivers. Inherently the drivers are gamblers on the race course and they would rather sacrifice all for the chance of winning all. than have to split with a brother driver after the melon is cut. In the instatnees were two foreign cars are entered they will do everything 1n their power to enhance the other's chances for the European contestants drH'e under entirely different factory conditions.

JACK DEMPSEY QUITS GAY LIFE OF PARIS
LONDON, May 10 Jack Dempsey arrived here from Paris at 11 o'clock last night. He was accompanied by Fanny Ward and her husband. Jack Dean. Manager Kearns. Joe Benjamin, Teddy Hales, and Boy McCormlck met him at the Victoria. The champion says he was delighted with his trip to the continent and the generous reception given him in Germany and France. He said: "In Paris I had a gay time, and there is plenty of life, but as a city I like London best." At the Victoria station an Irish policeman greeted the champion with a handshake and asked when he would go to Ireland. Jack was pleased and replied, "Next trip." Then followed handshakes with taxi drivers, porters, and bystanders, who formed an impromptu guard of honor to his car. Jack said he would fight any one qualified, and Manager Kearns added: "Sure. Jack will fight if there is a competent promoter. Jack is willing to defend the title against any qualified challenger. We want a fight, and will fight wildcats or buzz saws." The champion's party expect to go to Brighton in the morning, and are anxious to visit Harry Preston, time permitting.
DEMPSEY KB
CARPENTER
LONDON, May 10. Jack Dempsey today picked Georges Carpentier to win his battle with Ted "Kid" Lewis on Thursday night. Dempsey said positively that he would sign up to fight Carpenttar again if the latter wins. Dempsey di dnot remain In London, but left late In the morning for Brighton to look over his prize dogs that had been shipped 'here from the continent. While at Brighton he will talk over the fight situation with Harry Preston, the promoter. Just as he was leaving Dempsey said: Lewis will wear a mouthpiece when he meets Carpentier.

PURE ZINC SPOUTING Made from Horse Head Zinc "LASTS A LIFETIME" Ordinary galvanized eaves troughs and leader pipes are the most annoying feature of the average building. They rust out in a few years often in two or less and must be replaced many times during the building's life. Those Replacements are Unnecessary You can eliminate the repair nuisance for as long as you are likely to want the house by using Pure Zinc Spouting made from Horse Head Zinz. The first cost, including erection, is only a moderate percentage more than that of galvanized material. But, instead of lasting two to five years, it lasts twenty to fifty years. Put It Up and Forget It Zinc is the standard roofing and spouting material of Europe. Many buildings are on record there with zinc roofs and spouting that have lasted fifty years or longer witho ut repairs. Until recenty, technical obstancles prevented the manufacture of zinc spouting by American methods. These obstacles have been overcome. There is now nothing to prevent the American house, store, library or school being completely free from the spoutbg repair nuisance, at much less than the cost of copper.
