Ralph De Pa!ma owes fc-s entry tato
the automobile racing raate to the
fact that he borrowed a Wcyle seme
thing like twenty years ago used it
for the first time while cut deUvenag
s meas of groceries and busted tha
machine—and nearly busted his young
frame—by gettiag into a smaahup
while coasting down a hill.
When Ralph retarned to the tjwner
of that bike tha fragments of bla ma-
chine. the owner wanted to aaaas-
a.nate Ralph but Ralph saved his
hide by agreeing to pay the bike own-
er for the damage done as soon as he
coald gather in the mazuma through
the medium of his weakly stipend as
s grocery boy.
However, the bike owner became
Impatient because payments were
slow and he approached Ralph on the
subject.
I'm doing the best I can." explained
Ralph.
Well, your best don t suit me."
responded Ra'ph's creditor. 'You
gotta come through faster. If too
don't 111 bust your beezer See**
Ralph gazed upon his creditor, no-
ticed that be was four or five years
older, four Inches taller and about 35
pounds heavier—and Ralph imme-
diately "saw."
"Gimme a few days to think this
over." asked Ralph He got it Dur-
ing those days De Pslma racked his
brain for some plan whereby he eo3:d
raise funds quickly, but none came
forth antil one dsy he saw a billboard
telling about a bicycle race to be held
In Buffalo, with cash prizes for the
first eight men finishing.
"Gee whizx." ejaculsted Ralph. Now
It may be explained that after that
smaahup Ralph had decided never to
do any more riding But sometimes
circumstances alter case*—and cause
a change of mind. That's what the
circumstances did for Ralph and he
quickly hunted up his creditor.
"Say didju get that bike fixed up
yet?" be aaked
"Yes: but abe ain't as good as she
was when she was new."
"Oh that's all right.' said De Palma
"I don't care much aboat that—just
•o long aa she'll ride. Now here's
the scheme You lend ma that blltc
again and ni practice up on H. Then
111 enter the raoes here and if I grab
off one of the prizes there'll be enough
money in it for me to pay you what I
owe yoa. And if I win one of the big
prize* 111 buy yon a new bike in ad-
dition to paying you what I owe."
The creditor thought over the mat-
ter. deliberated on the wisdom of en-
trusting his bike again to the dare-
devlliahneas of De Palma—but finally
decided to take a chance.
Well the De Palma kid entered that
race—a 12-hour affair—and won it.
"That decided me that there was
money in the racing game.'' said De
Palma. "I knew there were risks,
too. but life is Just a gamble In rac-
ing one runs a big risk hot plays for
high stakes I liked the thrill of rac-
ing—and I stayed in the bike game
"Later I got into the motorcycle
racing game and afterward graduated
into the aatomobile game. But I
never would have become a racer if
it hadn t been that I was forced to
raiae money quickly under penalty of
having my nose busted. Sometimes
accidents keep men out of the racing
game That first accident of mine
got me Into ft."
De Palma entered the automobile
racing game in 1907 and since then
haa won 225 race*. He haa finished
in the money in something l:ke 250
others, and his total arinnings have
been in the neighborhood of 1500.000
"But. yoa know. I didn't get all that
money.' explained De Palma "In
many of the races I ran I had agree-
ments with other drivers that wed
split what we made That, of course
let the other fellows in on my share.
Furthermore. I sometimes had agree-
ments with the concerns that owne.2
tbe cars that I drove that they were
to pay me a regular salary each year
and I was to give them 60 per cent
of my arinnings. Another 10 or 20
per cent of the winnings went to my
mechanicians.
"It s a great game, this suto racing
It's dangerous, yes. but I like it—I
like the thrill that comes through eat-
ing up space and I hope that I can
stick to the game for many years to
come."

Jack Fournier. heavy-hitting out
fielder of the White Sox. will depart
from Tacoma, Wash , his home, in a
few days for Los Angeles to begin h:s
training for next season under orders
from Manager Rowland
Several weeks before the close of
the American league season, when the
Sox were in their last swing around
the eastern circle. Rowland called the
big Frenchman into his room and had
a heart-to-heart talk regarding plar. (
for next season
After emerging from this interview
Fournier admitted he would start
training this fall and would let out
his services to the highest bidder on
the Pad fie coast. Rowland tohl Four-
nier his work at bat was acceptable,
but said his fielding in the outfield
was not op to standard
"All you need out there is ex peri
ence in fly catching." said Rowland
"Go down to Lo* Angeles and play all

spring training. IH stack yoa up
against any of the boys with one or
two exceptions when It comes to chas-

good boy. but Louis is what bis par-

"If 1 had a dollar I'd buy 50 cents'

round contest, without any agreements
being made as to whether it was for
the title, it is unfair to the Baltimor-
ean to say he lost his title.
The mat'h wasn't arranged for the
championship The boxers failed to
weigh in at 116 pounds ringside, the
championship weight, although both
may hare been at the required pound-
age, and no other championship rules
governed the contest
The best way for Williams to cover
up this accident would be to give Ertle
a chance at the bantamweight crown
over the l.vround route in Baltimore,
or for 20 sessions in New Orleans.
First Tie Ball Game
Played 61 Years Ago
The first tie game in baseball
history was played in New York
61 years ago. October 26. 1854.
It was called on account of dark-
ness at the end of the twelfth
inning, with the score 12 to 12.
The contending clubs were the
Gothams and the Knickerbock-
ers rival aggregations for New
York's baseball honors, the
Knlcks being the first regular
baseball club ever organized.
The Knlcks were In the lead by
a score of 11 to 9 at the end of
the ninth inning, and under
modern rule* would have won
the game, but in those days the
winning team had to score 21
runs, or "aces."
Surprise of Swedish Games.
i he big surprise of this year's
Swedish championship games was the
defeat of Ernest Wide, Sweden's great
Olympic runner of 1912. In the 800-
meter race. A. Bohn of Stockholm
beat him by more than a second In 1
minute (9 2 10 seconds. The Swedes
have added the 400-meter hurdles
and throwing the weight to their
championahip program.
Jack Fournier.
Manager Rowland knew what he was
talking about The big Frenchman was
ambitious to do some slugging in the
city clash, but he was bitterly disap-
pointed. He misjudged a fly in the first
inning of the opening game, costing
the team three runs. That caused
Manager Rowland to bench the big
Frenchman. Felsch replaced him and
remained in the series until it was fin
ished.
Fournier proved to be one of the
best hitters in the American league
last season. His average was .330.
