FOREIGN PILOTS PLAN GREATEST EFFORT TO WIN AT 1921 INDIANAPOLIS 500-MILE EVENT
EUROPEAN RACE

TASK FOR YANK PILOTS
By EDDIE ASH.
Reports indicating that Europe is plan
ning its biggest invasion of the Ameri
can motor speedways in 1921 were veri
fied today by Theodore B. Myers, gen
eral manager of the Indianapolis speed
plant /
Private advices received by Mvers to
day from TV. P. Bradley, foreign repre
sentative of the Indianapolis Motor
Speedway, led the local race official to
give verification to rumor# regarding the
drive English, French and Italian race
pilots were planning on Yankee speed
courses and rich prises next season.
General Manager Myers only recently
mailed out entry blanks for the 1921 In
ternational Sweepstake# event here Mon
day, May 30, and, although none has been
returned, he has received information suf
ficient to be able to announce authori
tively that all plans were being directed
toward making the 1921 Floosler classic
the greatest of all.
COrX, THOMAS.
FORMER WINNERS.
Foreign Representative Brady in
formed Myers that Jules Goux and Rene
Thomas, former Indianapolis winners,
had made known their intention in Paris
of returning to the States for another
try for the big honors, and that Jean
Chacsagne and Porporato, other famous
European pilots, were others who have
signified a determination to “come back
for more.”
Bradley stated that the Antomohile
Club of France recently adopted the
piston displacement of 183 cubic Inches,
the same as the American regulations, and
hence a larger number of French cars
would be eligible for the Indianapolis
race.
The British Sunbeam, the French
Peugeot and Ballot and the Italian Flat
are considered sure entries, according to
information at the disposal of local
race officials and If this be true then
Yankee pilots are destined to face the
hardest problem ever to keep the In
dianapolis speedway prizes in this coun
try in 1921.
AMONG LIKELY
AMERICAN ENTRANTS.
American drivers who have already let
it be known that they would be on deck
when the next 500-mlle Hoosler classic
is run are Ralph De Palma. Eddie
Hearfie, Rosooe Sar'.es, Ira Vail. Kay
Howard, Howard Wilcox, Joe Boyer, Joe
Thomas and others. Tack Seal's is an
other prominent that is expected to re
appear at the local speedway next May.
The 1821 race Is sure to see improved
competition because the pilots will have
had more than a rear to test out the
183 cubic-inch piston dlspiac •meiit regu
lations. a change that proved a big han
dicap to some last May.
When General Manager Myers mailed
out the 1921 entry blanks he Included
all race pilots, race car mannf-cturers
and private backers In the Ist. The
fact that the Hoosler prize is $50,900 aug
mented by rich accessory prizes, is sure
to attract every foreign pilot that can
make the trip over here be'- use American
money scales far higher than any cur
rency on the other side at present.
PRIZE AWARDS
AB:>IT THE SAME.
Mye s stated today that the Hoosler
Speedway prize would remain the s::nie,
$20,009 u> the winner and the rem iiag
St .<► 0 scaled down and listrlbuted
among the n“Xt nine to finish. The ac
cessory prizes will be increawsl. Myers
believes because every year , lias seen n
boost in these awards, in addition a re
new;;! of the $20,000 lap prize donated by
In ii.'tia! oils business men is expected.
Therefore with all this Anieri an m-y
- valiable. It is no wonder the European
pilots are planning tlietr greatest 'nrn
riot; of the Horsier course. It would
mean wealth to a foreigner to cop the
Erst prize at the present ra*e of ex
chtuge.
AH ruler for the lid contest here ill
remain s bstantially the same ns this

tamweight. this week
A fortnight Jgo during a banquet for
sporting men, where Oarpentier end
Coulon were guests of honor Johnny
Jokingly remarked to Carpentler: "You
can never lift me." Carpentler was about
to attempt to lift the little hotter, when
Manager Descamps interfered and ordered
Carpentler not to make the attempt
Descamps st-ted that photographers
were present and would take n flashlight
and if Carpentler failed to lift Coulon
the result would be a loss of the Fr-nch
mans prestige In the Enited States
Carpentler now has signified a willing

NEW YORK BOXING GOSSIP
NEW YORK. Dec. 27—Tex Rickard,
who has staffed a parade of two cham
pionship fights in a row, may soon pet
the. two non-fighting boxing kings into
ac-t’on.
The two Johns—Kilbane and Wiison
who hare almost forced the .-'Spiracts
for the featherweight and middleweight
championships to go to work for a liv
ing. are stirring in their bombproofs.
Kilbane practically has been matched
to defend h : s tit'e in the Garden on
Washington’s birthday. The - Cleveland
Irishman, however, has not taken a ter
i tide chance as ills opponent will be
Johnny Rcisler, the sou of John the
Garber, If the deal goes through
Johnny Wilson will defend his middle
weight title, or forfeit the crown, ac
cording to word from the ba liwick of
Mike O'Dowd, the former champion.
WILSON SAYS
HE’S OFT OF SHAPE.
The St. I’anl Irishman threatens to
claim tlfe title if the Boston Italian con
tinues to sit in the dugout fondling bis
regal robes.
Rickard h-s made continual efforts to
get Wilson into a bout, but the cham
pion’s most recent excuse is that he’.' out
of condition.
Outside of the Benny Leonard-Ritchie
Mitchell fight here Jan 24 for devastated
France and a cool $60,000 between the prin
cipals, the boxing bugs are still talking
übont the Dempsey-Biennan affair.
Many of the experts turned up their
rose at the champion's showing against
Brennan, but Tex O’Rourke is oive who
believes that Dempsey proved himself
more of a champion than he was con
sidered before.
“We never knew before that bout that
Dempsey could go over a distance, and
we never knew that he could take a
punch.’’ O’Rourke said on his return
from a tour from Europe seeking ama
teur talent. “It seems to me that the
main purpose of a fight is to get the bet
ter of your opponeut. and Dempsey did
that."
lIOW THE ENGLISH
DOPE IT OCT.
O’Rourke observed In London that
George Carpeutler lost none of his pres
tige when Frank Moran finished Joe
Beckett in two rounds.
"The British figure that it took Moran,
considered by them to be Just us good
as Dempsey, twice as long to put out
the English champion as it took Carpen
tier. Therefore, the Frenchman is twice
as good as the champion,” be said.
In Paris, the supporters of Carper.tier
are willing to wager two to one that C’nr
peutter will bast Dempsey, and In Eng
land be is tbs favorite at five to four.

Don't be surprised to see the welter
weight division come to the fore in IU2I
With pr sreets for hoxlr g In nil divi
sions exceptionally bri -hr and the -ham
rions of practically every class due to
defend their titles during the early
months of the new year, close followers
cf boxing predict that the welters will
'perk up” ror the first time In inunv a
moon.
LEONARD LOOKS
AT WELTER CROWN
The prediction is based on the fact that
Jack Britton, king of the 115 pounders,
is getting well along in years and ’hat
Benny Leonard, champion of the light
weights, is ambitious to annex the wel
terweight crown before he comes to the
end of the fistic trail.
Britton will defend his title ng< nst
his old-time rival, Ted Lewis in mid-
February. The boot will be staged in
Albert Ilall. London, and will be over
the twenty-round route
Regardless of who wins it. Is expected
that in due time Leotard will come out
with n challenge, and should B -nny vault
into the welterweight class, other light
weights who find It diff'-ult to make 135
pounds are expected to follow him.
“Pinkey” Mitchell, Jack Perry of
Pittsburgh, Eddie Fitzsimmons, who is a
top heavy lightweight, nud a number of
others are prospective welters of the
neat future. Ted Lewis still has a tium
ber of years of active campaigning up
his sleeve and Britton, the old master,
may surprise all comers for a while
longer.
The bantamweight class, too, should be
productive of p’enty of competition, now
that Joe Lynch has annexed the title.
Lynch’s promise to meet all comers was
made in all sincerity and he will not have
to pine for opponents.
Two of Lynch's rivals will meet at
Madison Square Garden In a fifteen-round
battle next Wednesday night, when Jack
Sharkey and Pal Moore clash for the
right to a first chance at the new cham
pion's crown.
Detroit Gets Air Race
DETROIT, Dec. 27. —The Pulitzer tro
fihy race, the airplane clastic of America,
s to be held here in 1921, according to
Col. Jesse G. Vincent, head of the Avia
tion Country Club.
The date for the race has not been
fixed, but it probably will be held late In
August, Colonel Vincent stated.
INDIAN DEALS
CHEER ROOTERS
Stove League Fans Perk Up
as Hendricks Obtains
Another Star.
Indianapolis baseball fans have some
thing to gossip over through the holidays
ns a result of recent deals made by Man
ager Jack Hendricks, and the local “stove
league" certainly Is going full blast.
The latest announcement of the Tribe
pilot regarding the 1021 Hoosler pros
pects, concerns Cliff Brady, second sacknr
of the Boston Americans. This speed
merchant is in line to become an In
dian and only through the retirement of
Derrill Pratt, well known big league key
stone sacker, will the young athlete be
prevented from wearing a Tribe uni
form.
RECOMMENDED BY .
ED. BARROW.
Manager Hendricks put his line out
for Brady some time ago after hearing
Ed. Barrow, former Boston manager, tell
of the youth's nbility as a ball p'ayer.
Other big league men also told Hendricks
of Brady's good work and Jack was not
slow ill going after him.
The report that Pratt would retire
dimmed the deal somewhat, hut, accord
ing to the big league critics, Pratt Is ex
pected to return to action as usual next
spring. At present he Is under contract
ns baseball coach at the University of
Michlgun, but it Is hardly probable that
a prayer of Pratt's class will remain out
of the big leagues. He was traded to
Boston by the New York Yankees in a
* . , deal and that move opened the way
for Boston to give Hendricks a chance at
Brady.
Brady was obtained from Pittsfield
(Eastern League! last season by the Red
box after he had starred In the field
and had piled up a batting average of
.352. He was placed at second has •
in the Red box line-up and tn fifty-three
games at that station be continued his
llashy fielding and finished second among
the American League keystone sack
guardians. Ho also demonstrated that
he did not fear big league pitching anu
performed well enough to convince Bar
row and Hendricks that he was a bril
liant prospect for Class AA company.
In fact, Hugh Duffy, new Boston man
ager, has Indicated that If I’ratt does
not report he will use Brady at second
r.ejct vear. Then fore, Indianapolis fans
certainly are noping Pratt Joins Boston
and that Indianapolis lands Brady.
The coining of Brady will mean that
Indianapolis will have the class of tin*
American Association when It comes to
1 comparing infields. Covington will be
available for fisst. Brady second, Sick-
Ing shortstop, Maird third and Scbretber
utility.
Much praise has been heard regarding
the move by which Manager Kendricks
obtained Eddie Sicking. Many local fans
►aw this youth perform for the Cincin
nati Reds last season, and they are
unit in predicting that he w 11 be among
the A. A s best performers In 1021 Jl>
is a player of known quality, the siiuc
ns other new talent added by Hendricks,
and if the Tribe hoss makes n te>v
ueals of a like caliber he'll have a nej*r
Mg league outfit for the fans to look
over when the 1921 spring sun shines.

The remarkable comeback of the Bloom

to mind the game the state championship
t-enin of that place two years ago played
with Manual at the local Y. M. C. A. At
the end of the first half Manual was out
In font loading 25 to 8, and when the
final whistle blew the Bloomington clan
hid been returned tiw> victor. It was the
most unusual high school game ever
played in this city and the Tech game
Friday was almost a repetition of that
affair. Too much credit can not be given
a team that can come back under such
adverse conditions.
With sleigh bells and reindeer off their
minds the local quints will get back in
the harness again this week and strive
to wipe out the indignities of Inst week’s
play. Tech meets Logansport Tuesday at

COAST RESERVES BETTER
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 27.—Coach Andy
Smith’s University of California football
team, champions of the Pacific coast, will
give Ohio State, Big Ten Conference title
holders, the game of their life New Year s
day at Pasadena. This Is the unanimous
opinion of those few fortunates who were
admitted to the first secret practice of
the two teams on the same grounds here
Saturday.
Though slightly outweighed by the
Buckeyes, the Californians impressed the
few spectators who saw them work out
with their speed and well-oiled teamwork,
t.he!r driving attack and their all-around
football knowledge.
It Is not ap much In the regular line
up of the teatrt that the admirer* of the
coast champs see a possible victory, but
In the strength at their substitutes.
BUCKEYE BACKS*
RESERVE STRONG.
Ohio State has several capable substi
tutes for the back field, particularly C.
Taylor nt full and Cott and Bliss at the
half back posts, but in the line and at
quarter the strength of the Ohioans Is
an uncertainty. “Hoge" Workman, the
Ohioans' stellar quarter, has played every
game for the Buckeyes from start to fin
ish. It was hi# last-minute playing, com
bined with that of Pete Stlnchetvuib at
half, that enabled the Ohioans to win
four of their important games of the #<N
son In the closing minutes of play.
But if anything happened to Workman'
and Stlneheomb early tn the New Year’s
game at Pasadena, then Ohio's case would
indeed be erltl al> !
California, on the other hand, has fl
wealth of capable substitutes for every
position on the team. Where Ohio his a
squad of twenty-three men, California
has thirty, and Conch Smith ha* men for
every possible emergency that may arise.
To offset Ohio's Workmnn-Stlnchcorab
combination, their ehlef reHanr-- tn the
forward pass game that enabled them
to win the Midwest championship the
roast team has n variety of forward pass
combinations Quarter Back Erb and
Half Hecks Toomey and Sprott are all
excellent men if tossing the passe, either
for short or P-ng throws, while Brick
Muller. California's great right end, is
one of the best men In the country or.
the receiving end.
MULLER GOES m
AFTER PASSES.
Muller Is a real star of the game. lie
Is over sit fee! fall, weighs Iml pottnds
and Is one of the .fastest men on the
team despite his great *‘*e. It is at
going high tin In the atr after passes
that Muller shines. He Is a high Jumper
of note, hiving a record of 6 feet 5 lnr!**-#
In that event, and In games this rear
completed manv passes by being able to
Jump higher than opponents who were
try'ng to blnek the ball.
Berkey, the other end Is also a capable
receiver of forward passes, and on de
fense they are towers of strength. Not
only are they sraashlug tnrklers. but thev
break through and force opposing backs
to hurry their attempts with forward
passes, this often resulting In bad passes.
Coach Smith will also spring something
new on the Ohioans in a pair of run
ning guards. Majors, captain of the
team, was the unanimous choice of eo-ist
critics this year on the all-star teams.
