A Real Champion.
ABOUT II years ago a puny little rich boy determined to become as
famous an athlete as his father wa« a financier. Daddy Money
bags told Bonny to pick his game The choice was court tennis
r . Then Daddy hired the best instructor that could be found and
turned him loose with Bonny. The other day Bonny won the national
dbumplonabip at court tennis for tbe twelfth consecutive time—and won
tb straight sets He also was the big noise in tbe rapture of th# doubles
championship. He never has been beaten in s title match, and when op
JpEttSttitle* for interna lions 1 com pet HI on came, he aa easily bagged the

There are folks who believe that Hoppe is due for some genuine com

held on the Chicago speedway. Sat
urday afternoon. June If.
After a month of Impatient wait
ing and enforced inactivity, due to
the entrance of the United States to
the world war. the local promoters
have reached this definite decision,
making only one change in their
original plans by advancing the
date of the speed classic from June
9 to June 16. The change In date
will give the Chicago speedway offi
cials an opportunity to postpone the
derby to June 23 provided they run
afoul of inclement weather on {
June 16
The race will be 260 miles in |
length and the purse will total 121,-
000, the first 10 drivers to finish
dividing 120.000 of this amount and

pletion of 100 and 200 miles
Fre-ulent David F Reid is cpnfl
dent dial ibe exigencies resulting
from the war preparations will not
be an obstacle towards the success
of tbe auto derby. The drtvera and
mechanicians, who have volunteered
for military service either as aero
plane pilots or chauffeurs of armor-
I ed cars, probably will not be called

to hold our race in June, we have
no intentions of interfering with the
