KANSAS CITY RACERS TO COMPETE MAY 30 INDIANAPOLIS, My 24 Undoubtedly the most attractive privately built racing cars ever entered in an International race are the two Junior Specials, owned by C. L.

Thomas broke the track record at Fresno, traveling the 150 miles at a 101 mile an hour clip. Thomas has been racing for a number of years and although not outstanding, has the happy faculty of finishing well, up in the money. He is consistent and careful.

EVER TRY THIS GAME? In the Commonwealth of Pennsyl-
j vania the North Hills Country club put on a '"lose your shirt" tournament
Pctiw"h rather humorous results.
The loser of each match was compelled by the laws of the play to step upon the 18th green at the conclusion
533 of play , divest himself of his shirt and
give it to tne winner, inasmucu as a sizeable, as well as a "razzing" crowd was at the final hole, the situation became at least slightly embarrassing for some of the losing players especially because many witty maids and ma trons were there too. The club "dub", realizing what Pate held in store for him, went into combat wearing the most tattered shirt in
I his outfit. Louis Block, club president, lost a new while silk shirt to Alfred
jHallstrom, former prexy. Two broth
ers were matched against each other. The poorer player wore his brother's shirt into the fray and when the winning brother discovered that he had won only his own shirt loud yells
broke forth.
One clubman got into the tourna
ment without knowing what it was all about. He lost the match and his opponent demanded his shirt. The loser protested against disrobing publicly. He protested with all the protesting power that was in him. But to no avail. His reason for wanting to' "duck" a public surrender of his shirt became apparent when he stripped it off and exposed flaming red flannel.
I
Probably the meet remarkable shirt in betting odds in the entire history of the turf game happened in the case of Morvich, the two year old son of Runnymede-Hymir. The colt made his first racing appearance on the Jamaica, (N. Y.) track on opening day. May 6. Odds of 50 to 1 were quoted against his chances. He won by ten lengths. In his very next start, about 10 days later, the odds were 2 to 5. And he won again easily. A $5 bet. on his first outing would have won $250. But the next time the $5 bet would have won but $2.
PLEASE PAGE LANDIS. Why is "Rube" Benton being permitted to play in organized baseball? Last winter Benton declared that Charlie Herzog was involved in some sort of ' game throwing" deal. Herzog denied it whereupon, Benton reiterated the charges. Then the National League made an investigation and exonerated Herzog. By its action the league tossed the lie at Benton and placed Benton in the terrible position of blackening a man's character by an infamous tale. What happened?
Herzog was "shooed" out of the
Cayet and Henline; Fuhr, Lambert, league and Benton is pitching for the

WANTS HIS OLD PAL BACK. Sentiment still exists in the racing game. - ' - .. . Some time ago the fortunes of Jack Richardson went flooie , and ' he ' was forced to part with Manoevre, a gelding who was his pal as well as his whole stable.' . Richardson journeyed to California. There Juck came to him again. He bought a ball of the choicest California bay he could purchase, expressed it along with him and headed for Maryland. When he arrived there he couldn't locate the present owner of Manoevre but he found the horse in the stable. There he delivered the hay with instructions that none but Manoevre was to get any part of it. Richardson waited more than an hour for Manoevre's owner to show
up.- But it wasn't a wasted hour. For he and the horse renewed old friendships. "Manoevre may not be the greatest race horse in the world, but he's the smartest and the most lovable," declared Richardson. "He's coming back to me as soon as I can make a deal
with the man who owns him now. And when he comes back, he conies to stay." WHAT RUTH'S HOMERS ACCOMPLISHED. Just how helpful to the 1920 Yankees were those 54 v homers of Babe Ruth? A statistical person answers the absorbing quizz thusly: Total single game homers 40 Total games in which two were made 7 Grand total homers 54 Of the 40 games in which Ruth hit single homers 9 were won by one run; of the 7 games in which he hit two homers, two combats resulted in Yankee triumphs. Therefore, Ruth's homers won at least 11 games. The Yanks won 34 of the 47 games in which Ruth hit homers, and lost the other 13. Their average was .723 for the 47 games in which Rut banged out his 54 drives. Yes that boy Ruth was valuable. So valuable in fact that if you took away the 11 games which Ruth actually won and some of the other 23 which he helped to win by his home run hitting alone the Yanks, instead of landing third, would have given the Athletics a hot argument for the cellar honors.

Carpentier himself has won fights in one round. He won the European championship by stopping Bombadier Wells in four rounds in 1913 in a return match the same year he knocked out Wells in the first three minutes. Carp's one-round devastation of the lamented Beckett is too fresh in memory to need recounting.
Dempsey's most notable one-round victory was registered over the prostrate form of Fred Fulton at Harrison, N. J. That victory assured Dempsey the subsequent match with Willard, just as Carpentier's one-Aund win put him in line for the impending battle with Dempsey.
SPEED AND CUNNING SOUGHT BY GEORGES TO BATTER DEMPSEY
MANHASSET, N. Y., May 24. Development oi speed and cunning will be the chief factors sought for in the training of Georges Carpentier. for he relies mainly on these two points to bring him victory over the champion, Jack Dempsey on July 2. -Carpentier is in better condition and is tougher than ever before in his career and when be started actual training yesterday, he weighed 172 pounds or just one half pound more than he will weigh when he enters the Jersey City
arena. ; Gesticulating as though be were trying to sell the Eiffel tower to a gullible American tourist, Monsieur Descamps. the Frenchman's manager announced in fifty-fifty American and French that Georges was in srood form enough to defeat a flock of Dempseys. Speed Dazzles The smiling blonde boxer works easy and with a speed that dazzles. To some he gives the impression that he is in reality the small boy after the giant's scalp, but when Georges works-the boyishness disappears and the seriousness of a man who really wants something enters. Georges has a stiff right jab that works fast and. carries a drop. He is at all times on his toes, working a punch from both sides. His upper cut is well executed and his recovery perfect. In yesterday's half hour workout he gave the impression that he is all Descamps claims for him in the way of being fit. Rests Every Other Day Descamps thinks too much training would do more barm than good. Consequently the French boxer will in reality rest every other day, taking, of course, light exercises each morning and perhaps some road work. Tomorrow he will box with two sparring partners. In keeping with the edict of Descamps and Trainer Gustav Wilson he will work with Paul Journee, the French heavyweight and with Marco, a lighter man. These two will alternate with Joe Jeanette and Italian Joe Gans. who has arrived at the camp, so that Carpentier will meet only one heavy man on each boxing day. This order of training will continue until the end of the month.
Chips and Slips
A lot of bets are going to be made that Dempsey stops Carpentier In the' first round when the hostile heavyweights meet on July 2. These bet will be very likely to be the only one made with the American champion on the long end. Most of the others, from the number of rounds the fight will trn in Ita nrnbabl outcome. Will
doubtless see Dempsey on the short end. The Carpentier supporters are go
ing to demand heavy odds before they
do any betting. Dempsey size and the general feeling' that he is . too strong and too powerful a puncher tor the Frenchman will have a decided influence upon the wagering. A knockout in the. first round is possible. Dempsey came within a round of stopping Willard in a round at Toledo. Many important battle in the past have ended in the first -round-Joe Walcott. the Barbadoes demon, won the welterweight championship by knocking out Matty Mathews in the first round. Mathews was one of the most redoubtable battlers to ever hold the title, yet was crushed to atoms in a jiffy by the little negro. Goar donated fhe Bankers a run in the fourth when he tried to catch Boyd off second and threw the ball Into center field.

GRATIS VICTORIOUS OVER DAYTON NINE
GRATIS, O., May 24. Gratis-base-ball nine defeated the Master Tire and Rubber company baseball nine of Dayton on the Gratis grounds Sunday afternoon by the score of 4 to 3. The game was one of thebest played on the home grounds this season. Andrews, on the mound for the Gratis nine, was master of the game at all time, allowing the Dayton team only four hits and fanning nine batsmen. Western, on the hill for the visitors, was touched for 10 hits, but kept them well scattered. He struck out only one batter, but was given fine support in the field by his team mates. The Gratis team claims to be one of the strongest independent teams in western Ohio and eastern Indiana,

DEMPSEY IS SO FIT KEARNS WILL GIVE CHAMP WEEK'S REST
(By Associated Presa) ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.. May 24. Jack Dempsey bas progressed so rapidly in his training for his match with Carpentier, July 2, that Manager Jack K earns contemplates giving the champion a week of absolute rest, probably the first week of June, it was announced today. This is in accordance with the training campaign Dempsey followed for his battle with Jess -Willard at Toledo, two years ago when he suspended all training activities for six days because of the fear of going stale. With Dempsey rapidly getting Into condition, the shortage of heavyweight sparring partners in the champion's camp at present is causing Manager Kearns no alarm.

The pleasure is worth it. There's no substitute for Camel quality and that mild, fragrant Camel blend. The fellow who smokes Camels, wants Camels. That's because Camels have a smoothness, a fragrance and a mildness you can't get in another cigarette. Don't let anyone tell you that any other cigarette at any price is so good as Camels. Let your own taste be the judge. Try Camels for yourself. A few smooth, refreshing puffs and you'd walk a mile for a Camel, too.
