Driven to desperation by his

for its final test in the Interna-
tional Sweepstakes on the Chicago
speedway on Sunday afternoon,

Manager Charles II. Porter yester-
Gay with the announcement that
unless he was successful in the
sweepstakes he would retire from
the racing game for all time.
Resta is believed TO have the
fastest motor ever started in an
automobile. He designed il him
self and spent all of last year and
more than $4,000 in its construc-
ton. Automobile experts all over
the United States have been watch
ing il carefully in the belief that it
would prove to he the greatest
aerOplane motor ever invented
Three times Resta has started
his car IN big races this season. At
Sheepshead Bay a broken cam shaft
put him out Of the running At
Chicago in the derby a broken &C
ceIerator spring did the same, and
at Cincinnati he crushed a bearing
under the terrific speed at which
he was travelling.
In tryouts Resta's motor has at
tanned an unofficial speed equal to
II miles an hour. There can be
TO question about its speed and
power. But after the Cincinnati
race. when experts from the Unit
cd States army aviation field at
Dayton examined the motor, they
were of the opinion that it was so
fast that its m nor parts could not
stand up under the tremendous
speed.
Is Confident.
Now R5sta is at work correcting
these minor defects. He is so sure
of victory that he has not hesitated
in putting up his $4,000 as a part Of
the purse of $4,000 for which the
drivers will compete in the sweep
stakes. 1t is the first tine in the
history Of auto racing that the
drivers have ever raced for their

BASEBALL IS NOT
PRODUCTIVE SAYS
BOARD IN RULING

Boston, July 15.-Basebalt was

patton by the Brighton local draft
board yesterday in deciding a test
case brought by John Park Henry,
catcher for the Boston National

work or fight" rules.
The board found that the amount
Of relief from the War-straiu fur
nished by the game was overesti-
mated by the registrant in his aft
dayit and that basebal's financial
contribution TO the war was no
larger materially than the volun-
tary sacrifices Of many millions of
citizens"
All three members of the board
are agreed in the finding that base
ball is a nOn-productive occupation,
but one of them, Justice Thomas
Fl. Connolly, recommends that
Catcher Henry be not required to
change his occupation on the
ground that he could not do so
without substantial financial loss
to himself and others"
Henry. Justice Connolly finds, is
paid $3.50 a month for playing base
ball and lis not qualified to take up
any other occupation which, from
a financial standpoint, would be
comparable to the compensation he
receives in his present occupation"
Justice Connolly also interprets
Others" who would be financially
injured by Henry's removal from
the game to include not only de
pendent members of his family, but
also his employers.
