RACE ENTRIES TO CLOSE THURSDAY Gill Give Drivers Plenty of Time in Which to Send Applications. The entries for the first annual night and day auto races to be held at Springbrook park next Thursday will not close until noon of the day of the races, so that the speed kings from distant points who have had entry blanks sent to them, can get their signed applications into the hands of the park officials. This will also give the local drivers who contemplate entering at least one of the events, more time to test their cars and decide whether they will attempt to compete for the prize money. It is thought that there may be enough entries from South Bend and Mishawaka to make up one race entirely of amateur drivers, from which the professionals would he excluded. An event exclusively for Ford machines is also being considered. Will Be 14 Events. As the program now stands there will be seven events on each program afternoon and evening. Many of the events will he duplicated at each performance hut some of the features will he presented only once. The handicap race which will le run at 10 miles in the afternoon will riot In on the night rani, and the hnal event at night, the Iwvg distance race, will not bo on the afternoon card. A number of Inquiries have been made- by those anxious to know whether Depalma, Kesta or Boh Burman willttake part in the ,pringhrook raees, but word has been received from these speedsters statins that they are devoting their time to speedway races only and that they would not participate in half-mile tra-ek events on account of the danger involved. Insomuch as the speed (lemons who will be at the Sprinbrook races are rated as the best in the half-mile track game, their rating ran best bo measured from the fact that so far this season more than 1." world's records on mile and half-mile tracks have been made by the galaxy of stars and all the records held by Burlnaii, oldiield and pel'.ilma hae been shattered. .Many Iiicrs Entered. The following drivers with their powerful space eaters have already sinned their entry blanks and mailed them in: Capt. H. Kennedy. Maxwell team; Iny Imsbury, Bulek; Hilly Tidmarsti.

Kennedy, one of the most daring and n-ekbss drivers who have ever sat behind the steering wheel of a monster car. A special prize of $rno for the fastest lap made at the met will be offered and Sl.Ooo if the world's record for a half mile is equaled or bettered. The think' that has made nUht racing possible is the powerful dare lamps whih were especially Invented for this newest sport and a high canvas wall which encircles the whole race course and against which the cars and drivers are seen more clearly than by dayli-rht.

MEMBERS OF GREEK ARMY CALLED OUT (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.) Bulgarian army, rapidly mobilizing, will add 250,000 more, unless the allies succeed in their 11th hour attempts to hold back King Ferdinand. Today's advices from Bucharest Indicate that Bulgaria is about to strlko at her former ally, Scrvia. One dispatch says: "The situation is most critical. Requisitions of all kinds are being made by the Bulgarian war othce. Bulgarian cavalry is massed on the Servian front." A report from Salor '.ka that Bulgaria has cancelled its mobilization order was unconfirmed during the forenoon and was given little credence. The situation on the Galician and Italian fronts gave some hope to the allies, however. The Austrian admitted that their forces in Volbynia have retired to the Styr river, while on th Italian front the Austro-Hungarian troops have evacuated their positions on Monte Coston. It is the opinion of British observers that these Austrian reverses are bound to have a deterring effect upon Bulgaria, unless an irrevocable decision has already been reached by that nation. There are 20.000 French priests in the fighting line of FYance. including four bishops.
