MJeff lma Explains
* Trouble That Cost
Him Victory Monday
Car Afire Twice, He Says—Be
s.came Confused Over Gaso
line Supply.
Doe to the fact that there Is still a
difference of opinion regarding what hap
pened to Ralph DePalma’s Ballot car In
the 500-mile race Monday, when Ralph
lost the lead after apparently having
first place clinched, DePalma’s own ex
planation of the trouble is interesting
That his car was afire twice is de
clared to be true by the driver, once on
the north turn and again after he had
restarted and was going out of the south
turn.
DePalma's car was equipped with an
“eight-in-a-row” motor and he used
two curburetors and two magnetos, “A”
and “B ” for the front and rear four
cylindei s, respectively.
According to DePalma it was a short
circuit that caused his motor to back
fire, burned out magneto "A” and caused
the fires.
The magneto was put out of commis
sion on the back stretch, he said, refusing
to fire the gasoline feeding to carburetor
“A” and sparks flying from the
iJUjorted” wire, ignited gasoline dripping
IKin carburetor '‘A.”
DePalma says he did not understand
Just what the trouble was at the time
of the first blaze and after smothering
the fire he started around the track
again.
When his car caught fire on the south
turn a close examination brought out
the cause of the trouble, he said, and be
drove to the pits, removed the spark
plugs from his four front cylinders, dis
connected carburetor “A," repaired the
“shorted” wire and finished the race on
four cylinders.
At no time was his car out of gaso
line. DePalma declared. .
When he stored the car to extinguish
the first blaze the motor "died, he says,
and that led him to believe he was out
of gasoiin.-. It was then that he sent his
mechanician to the pits for a supply that
was not needed, as he discovered later.

TAD’S TID BITS
GREATEST HE EVER SAW.
NEW YORK, June 4.
Dear Tad—You’ve been buried so much
with the "greatest fighter” problem that
I though, in this era of prohibition to
scamper a few remarks of my own on the
parchment. .
Listen: Where’s the 18-year-old kid
nowadays fighting twenty-round battles to
a decision? Where's the kid having Won
a dozen twenty-round bouts before be
passed the twentieth milestone?
Let me whisper you the name of the
world's greatest fighter, Les Darcy—
peace to his ashes. Just imagine his
third ring battle was a twenty-round
affair with Bill Hanan, in West Maitland,
Australia. Les stopped him in eighteen
rounds. This quarrel took place on
March 15, 1013, when Les was only IS
years of age.
I.es knocked out Mick King in ten
rounds, licked Eddie McGoorty In fifteen,
knocked Billy Murray cold in six. Fred
Dyer in four, beat Jimmy Clabby and Jeff |
Smith. All this happened while Les was
in his teens. Like Robert Emmet, had
I,es lived, history—pugilistic history at
least —would have been different. Put me
down for a vote for my lamented friend,
Les Darcy, as the greatest exponent of
the fistic art. Yours til! all cellars Are
damp, LIAM O’SHEA.
GUNBOAT STILL RUNNING SECOND.
The famous “Gooner” Smith lost an
other four-round decision in Frisco the
other night to a small colored gent by the
name of Lee Anderson. Smith Just fin
ished reading his new set of Mark Twain
and ran across a chunk of Mark's advice,
which was, “If you can’t be good, be
careful.” The “Gooner,” knowing that he
wasn’t good, just folded himself up for
three rounds in a very careful manner.
He lost by half a mile.
MAYGE IT’S LOCKJAW.
Say Tad—What’s the matter with Zim
merman, Chase and Lee Magee?
Ruth Muffs Ball and
Gets Team Out of Hole
Babe Ruth has figured in many unusual
incidents on the baseball field, but never
in a more out-of-the-ordlnary play than
thta which cropped up in the eighth in
ning of a recent game with Washing
ton and which rescued the Yankees from
an embarrassing predicament.
Harris beat out a hit and took second
on Peck's error. Ellerbee singled, fol
lowing which Shannon filed out. Ghar
rlry singled, scoring Harris, while Eller
bee went to second. Schacht filed to Ruth,
who muffed the ball, bu. threw to Pratt,
forcing Gharrity.
Ellerbee. who had overrun third, was
tagged out by Peck, and the Inning was
over.

Edwards to Return for
Another Trial in U. S.
Although L*w Edwards, lightweight
champion of Australia, was knocked out
by Ritchie Mitchell when the visitor
made his first appearance in this coun
try, Tom Andrews, the Milwaukee pro
moter and boxing critic, insists that Ed
wards will make good.
Coming from a country wherp snow is
unknown. Edwards ran into below zero
weather at Milwaukee, and this so stif
fened his muscles that he never could
get started.
Edwards went to England immediate
ly after his defeat by Mitchell and seems
to have made a great impression there.
Rather than meet him for the title.
Bob Marriott relinquished his claim to
the honors. Edwards is coming back to
America next month and hopes to re
gain the prestige he lost.

LEFT FIELD LAFFERTY.
We don’t know ourselves, “Laff.’’ They
remind us of the parrot that Ginsberg
brought home to his wife. She thought
It was a pigeon and made a pigeon pie
out of it and set it before Ginsberg for
supper. “Vot,” cried the astonished papa,
"yon cooked the parrot. Didn't you know
that he could speak five languages?”
Mrs. Ginsberg was shocked, but managed
to shout, “Vy didn’t he say somedink?”
CANADA CAL’S CHIRPS.
Our Mary says she suffered nine years
from Owen Moore. We also have suffered
from owin’ more than we could pay. But
not nine years. The statute of limitations
released us after six years, and then we
forgot our debts.
“Let me but get him once upon the
hip,” hissed Shylock, "and I’ll —I'll”
“You'll what?” asked Gratiano. "I'll tske
evey-y drop> he has in the bottle," con
cluded Shylock. “Take, rather, thy pound
of flesh.” said Gratiano, in horror at the
awful threat.
