silent about the forthcoming handicap.
Resta finished second to De Palma in
the 1915 Indianapolis Sweepstakes Of
$4,000, losing by margin of four
minutes over the 6O0-mile route. Resta
has the distinction Of being the only
driver ever to win two Vanderbilt Cup
and two Grand Prix classics in sue
cessive years.
Already great interest is beinr mani
tested in the comeback" of genial
Barney Oldfeld, the oldest and great
est of racing drivers in his day. Old
field is ready to retire, after nearly
and this is to be his final session. His
one consuming desire is to quit the
game with the worlds speed champion
ship in his possession.
His mediocre showing last season has
spurred the veteran to make this his
greatest season. For daring and skill
Oldteld is the peer of any man that
ever guided wheel, and if he has a
suitable mount he can be relied upon
to fight it out. for first honors with
Chevrolet, Resta and the rest of his
rivals. Oldfeld is out to redeem him
self, and the other speed kings will
have to look to their laurels.
Chevrolet is Scratch Man
Louis Chevrolet will be on the
scratch mark in the handicap. The
demon Frenchman made no objection
to this assignment, as he won the
Speedway championship last season
and is recognized as the greatest long
distance driver in the game to-day
Next to him comes Ira Vail, the Brook
Ign home-bred, who generally APP
proaches record time when competing
over the 100-mile journey. Vail is not
likely to be given much Of a start on
Chevrolet.
The Hardness Handicap is to have an
international aspect, as Arthur Duray
the European racing champion, is COM
ing over to try to gather in the big
prize money offered by Wellman. Duray,
who holds the worlds record average
for the mile Of lat miles an hour, has
cabled his acceptance of Wellman's Of
fer to compete. He cabled the pro-
moter last week that he would sail on
the first boat out; so he is either on
his way or will leave for this country
the early part Of this week.
Arrangements are being made by
Wellman to handle the greatest crowd
that has ever witnessed a speedway
race in this country, as the Memorial
Day carnival is to be a popular-priced
affair.

corps of unusually strong interscho-
iastlc athletes, including Bushnell and

Three-Cornered Tie
Plum Disappoints

The New York A. C. clay bird ex-

their places for the first three prizes

iously easy ones in his second hun

Curtis did the best work, breaking 100

The surprise Of the day was the
downfall of Frederick Plum, the ma
tional amateur champion and the man
who week ago smothered all oppo-
sition in the title race, as we'll as

continuous runs and for the high gun

he did he could never get the proper
range of the clays. In the first hun

for him, and in the next hundred he
dropped four, making his total 1913.

One of the best feats of the meet
was the high jumping of Templeton,
the former Leland Stanford University
champion, who sailed over the bar al
six feet three inches. The perform

able as Templeton had been able to get
only two short practice workouts prior

We are on the threshold of a new,
and let US hope, a prosperous season
on the lawn tennis courts. 1t is true
that conditions this year are not so
favorable In many ways as in bygone
days, when the cream Of all the great
players was wont to battle for the
titles, national and international. This
season will find terrible gap wrought
in the ranks of the ten greatest players
of the country, owing to the call to
the colors, but those who remain will
carry on the burden of maintaining
the game at somewhere near standard
quality.
In one respect, the almost wholesale
desertion Of tennis by its leaders for
the more serious game overseas, will
act as an unusual stimulus In develop
ing the younger stars Of the courts. 1t
will give the youngsters an opportunity
to compete in all the more important
tournaments, with the accompanying
gathering Of that experience that is
invaluable to those who seek the high
places, and it is upon these boys that
the game Of lawn tennis must depend
for its very fine life within the next
few years. All should lend q hand in
encouraging them and doing all pos
sible to help them "carry on" until the
war is behind us.
