Which Gives Most Thrills,
Airplane or Racing Motor?
DePalma Says It's the Racing Car and Goes Back to His Old
Game After Service in Uncle Sam's Air Corps.
BY JAMES H. COLLINS.
One day last fall, while Ralph De
Palma was serving t'nele Sam as di
rector of flying at McCook field, near
Daytnn, Ohio, a tall, lanky stranger ap
peared, askinrr for an airplane. He
looked languid and bored. DePalma
wondered if the visitor was strona
enough for flying the auto racing star

mentally alert. But the stranger wore
an aviation officer's uniform, and fur
thermore had an order for a plane from
the commanding officer.
They had been tuning up some new
scout planes With IJbertv motors. One
of these was assigned to the stranger.

strapped In.
"A nice question!" commented De
Palma afterward. "There I was,
strapped in and lie running the show.
Would we do a few stunts. There was
only one answer and we did them!"
Brief Career as Aviator.
DePalma's service ir. aviation was
rather brief, as he enlisted a couple of
months before the war ended. But it
lasted long enough to give hiin a well
rounded experience in flying, both of
the stunts which might be compared to
the thrills of the sneedwav. and lone
distance flying, which is comparable to
ne long grind oi autoniomie road rac-
ng. And the veteran auto star lout no
time in getting back to his own game,
firm In the conviction that It beats
aviation for thrills.
Hying seemed monotonous comnarerl
with motor racing," he soys.
"On a trip of several hundred miles
you may be making speeds which would
be terrific In an auto 140 miles an

NEW YORK. Feb. 20. It Is possible
that when the Robins start their train
ing period Albert' Maniaux, the young
hurler who jumped the club early last
season for a job in the shipyards, may
be one, of the squad. Soon after his
leap fnbm the club, which was unex
pected, President Charles H. Ebbets
wa not a bit backward In telling his
opinion of the jilayer, and for this the
owner of the Tloblns could not ba
blamed.
Time, they say. Is the healer of all
wounds and that may apply to a great
extent to Al Mamnui and several other
hall players who leaped from their clubs
to the shipyards. However, if i;hhets
decides to restore the former Pirate to
good standing this spring he will deal
with a Mamaux of a different type.
Was Irresponsible.
Heretofore Mamaux's career In the
majors was one of a youngster who
Bhoulflered no great responsiDiimes. ne
was inclined to wild ways and has
known what It Is like to be suspended
for jumping over the traces during the
playing season. But If Mamaux's word
EXPECT NUNAMAKER
TO HELP INDIANS
LESLIE NUNAMAKER.
Leslie Nunamaker, veteran catcher
recently obtained by the Cleveland
club from the Browns, stacks up as
probably the hardest hitting catcher in
the big show.
At least there aren't many catchers
in the big show who can boast of hit
ting 2")0 or better through eight years
of service. Kor some reason the ma
jority of backstops fall down at hat.
Nunamaker broke into the American
league with the Red Sox In 1S1L
i ml
with competitors contesting every lap
that's very different stuff! Kverv
minute has Its problem and lis thrill
I prefer to be down on the ground,
smelling the gas, eating the dirt, in
contact with my rivals and the crowd. '
Within a week after his discharge
from Uncle Sam'a service he was back
in New York tuning up his two Pack
ard racers, equipped with aviation en
gines. One of these is his "big car,"
905 cubic Inches piston displacement,
with which he has just broken all rec
ords at Daytona Bench, Kla. The other
is his "little car," 199 cubic Inches dis
placement, with which he will go after
speedwav and dirt track racing records
this summer. Its displacement makes
It eligible tor all official contests under
the A. A. A. rules.
Breaks Last Record.
These two cars had broken every of
ficial automobile record In the world
except one when war ended. The Ger
man Blitzen-Iienz achievement oi
nearly H2 miles per hour, made by the
late Bob Burman. was the only record
left In 1911. DePalma had his eye upon
that during the war, and went straight
for It as soon as lie was free.
And he got It! ,
When vou travel two and one-half
miles a minute, he says, you need a
good car. good nerves and a clean mind
There must be no worries, nor any
thing to Interfere with the absolute
concentration needed In driving. Nerves
and concentration must be such that
yon meet an emergency as a matter of
reflex action, almost without thinking
at two and one-half miles a minute,
emergencies are dealt with In fractions
of a second.
DePalma trains for his work by tem
perate living and a little bicycle riding
dally to keen on edge. Physical train
ing can easily be overdone, however, as
exhaustion might follow too severe ex
ercise. Mental training is far more Im
portant, In his opinion. Weeks of
preparation precede an event like that
at. Davtona Beach. His mind Is cen
tered on the car day and night. He
lives with its mechanism every waking
hour, and at night mentally goes over
It. part by part, testing tor strengrn
ind efficiency, seeking details that call
for alteration, making absolutely cer
tain that everything will wo-k at Its
best on the crucial day. It Is this
preparation which gives him the clean
mind needed for the event Itself, be
cause not until thousands of mechanical
details have been settled to his own
satisfaction is It possible to dismiss
them, and with them all worry when

real test.

can be taken those davs are passed and
irom now on ne intends to nay strict
attention to business, The reason for
the young pitcher's change In attitude
iiiwaru me serious tnings or lire may be
gleaned from the fact that he was re.
cently married and he realises that In
the future he will have to look before
ne leaps.
Mamaux be eves that the lonr lav
off from baseball has done his right arm
gooa ana ne is continent that ne can
come back and show enough ability to
warrant him a berth with the Rob na.
Mamaux broke Into the majors as
a Pirate In 1915 and he soon was in
the. limelight. He possessed terrific
speed and in the box depended mainly
upon his ability to hurl the ball past
the batters. He proved to he the sen
sation of the season and he won 2H
gamee and lost only eight. This record
was all the more remarkable when It Is
remembered that the Pirates that sea
son were a second division outfit. He
was credited with striking out 152 bat
ters.
Keep Up His Work.
The following year the youngster
proved mat ne natt lost none of his
speed. He won the same number of
games as he did in 1915, but he lost
a total of 15. His strikeout victims
numbered 163 and he took part In 45
contests. Kor his sensational pitching
ha received columns of publicity and
was a drawing card around the Nation
al league circuit. Mamaux was aware
or these facts and the fame apparently
?:ot tne Deuer or mm. This was re
lected In his work as a Pirate the fol
lowing year. He got beyond the control
of Jimmy Callahan when the latter was
piloting the team and the manager was
forced to suspend him. His pitching
was a big disappointment. He lacked his
old-time speed, and when the season
ended he had won only two games and
lost li. He took part In its contests.
I-ast winter It was decided that the
old-time sensation had outlived his use
fulness In P ttsburih and he was trad
ed, along with Chuck Ward and Bur
leigh Grimes, to the Robins for Casey
Stengel and Oeorge Cutshaw. At. the
