RETURN OF FIAT WILL HELP AUTO
 RAGING IN U. 5,

Turin, Italy, Jan 17.-The return of the celebrated Fiat Company to automobile racing and the participa- ton of this powerful Italian firm in the next Internationl 500-mile sweep stakes on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is heralded by the signing of Louis Wagner, the grand old man of European racing, to build three cars for this concern under the new racing rules for the Indianapolis con- test.
 The Fiat Company. once triumphant in the autom obile arena, both in the United States and abroad, in the days when Lancia, Wagner and Nazzaro carried their gonfalon to victory, has not engaged in racing since 1912, when the late David Bruce-Brown and Ralph DePaIma were drafted from America to handle their speed creations in the Grand Priz de France Both of the American drivers made a sensational showing in that event, Bruce-Brown winning on the basis of actual elapsed time but being de- prtved,> of the fruits of his victory be- cause of having taken on gasoline along the road, something that tho rules of the contest did not permit.
 In the United States, the name of Fiat was formerly one to conjure with, the early Vanderbilt and Grand Prize races finding the big red fly CTS of this make invariably among the leaders, and usually in first posi- ton. The late Bruce-Brown captured one of these speed epics, the Grand Prize of 1911, and Wagner accounted for another, the initial Grand Prize of 1908 at Savannah.
 Wagner returned to racing last year invading the United States as mem ! Der of the Ballot Quartet composed of Rene Thomas, Albert Guyot, and Paul Bablot, in addition to himself | that were favorites in the last Indian | apolts 500-mi1e race, but failed to run true to form because of defective l wheels.
 Wagner himself went through the concrete safety wall around the Speed way in this contest when one of his
 wheels let go. tumbling down the en- | bankment outside the track and over | turning twice, but without injury l This was Wagner's second close cal
 in the United States, his first having | taken place during the 1910 Grand
 Prize at Savannah, when he went of the road and overturned, sustaining severe but not fatal injuries. | Wagner is easily the foremost fig
 ure in European racing, since the
 death of Georges Boillot, the greates
 driver Europe has ever known, an6
 his return to Fiat, his first love, sig
 nifies a brand Of competition in th' l Italian quarter that will make the
 other nations engaged in the Indian | apoliS speed embrogilo look closet! | to their laure1s.

EDDIE EAYRS
 MAYBE SIGNED FOR HARTFORD

Hartford, Jan. 17.-Jim Clarlsin, owner of the local club. . and Dan lIowley, his manager, promise the baseball fans of the city some news About the building up of the local fteam next week. Howley said recently that the first news would be given out at that time and C1arkin said the same yesterday so that the local fans may expect to get an idea of the brand of players that will make up the local club when the first an nouncement comes from the head quarters of the'steam next week. E It is probably that. the fans will learn that Eddie Eayrs, manager of the Providence team last year, and one of the best all-around players in the league, has been signed up as the first of the veteran players around whom Howley will build up his 1920 outfit. Eayrs, it Is said, will | not be back with the Grays again and has not been signed up by any club 1 as yet. as far as is known. He likes managing a ball club, however, and said recently that he would not go with any club unless he was the pilot | of the team.
 l Howley, however, with Clarkin's l pcCh1llSS IIldy 1luuSS Ille i fielder to come to Hartford as a player. Eayrs is a heavy hitter and would make an ideal man for Howley | to use as a pivot around which to build up an entirely new team. He 1 is a good pitcher and fielder and 8 i 300 hitter, which is one of the things
 about a ball player that Howley likes
 ''Snooks'' Dowd, the ringfield 1 Mass, athlete, who is planning to go South with the Chicago Cubs when 1 the Windy City outfit hit the trail for it's training camp, likes Dan How ley and would be tick1ed to come here and play ball under him. He said re. gently, that if. he didn't. go into the majors the coming season, he would
 rather come to Hartford and play un. der Howley than anywhere else he l knew of, and, as the feeling Is mu
 tual, it may be that the two of then
 can get together and find a path b1
 which Dowd can travel to the 1oca
 grounds and don Hartford uniform
 ''Snooks'' Is a sweet ball player and
 hits the pill hard and effectively.
 He has been through sufhcien
 tough games to have the confidence
 of the fans around here in a pincf
 and his acquisition to the local clut
 would do a lot toward regaining thu = confidence of the local fans in theil
 ball club.

Jack Wolfe, the Cleveland bantam, added to his prestige in the West when he made a choping block of Earl Puryear in a ten round bout at Peoria recently. Wolfe is the ban tam that Jimmy Dunn is grooming for the title in that class.

Lord Glanely, Greatest English Turf Winners With = s150,o0o for Season Canty Led Irish Jockeys s5ss By Winning 65 Races

New York, Jan. 17.-Reports from various foreign countries indicate that racing was one of the first of the many sports to swing into it's stride again within a few months after the signing of the armistice. Records and statistics gathered from numerous sources at the close of the 1919 turf season attest the fact that racing en- joyed a prosperous session and pros poets favor still greater revival dur ing the coming year.
 Lord Glanely, who heads the list of winning owners on the English turf for the season of 1919, pur- chased the Derby winner, Grand Pa rade, as a foal for APO guineas. The colt had a very profitable two year old career, particularly while racing over the Irish courses where he fin ished first several times. Dominion, stable companion, was the more fancied of the two for Derby honors by Lord G1anely and his trainer and even up to the start for last years Blue Riba.nd, at Epson Downs, the hopes of the stable were centered on Dominion, which ran indifferently throughout the race. Grand Parade Is the son of former Derby winner, Orby which was owned, bred and trained by Richard Croker, the Amer ican horseman.

An organization recently formed for the purpose
OF furtherng conservation OF the timber supply is
the national forest Ere prevention committee. When
fully organized this committee will be composed
on representatives from each Of the as states.
Within each state also a cooperating branch
nittee viii be formed to promote local state legs-
lation which viii supplement federal legislation

lions Of women's clubs will be members of these
committees
As it's name implies the chief work Of this new
organization VIII be 20 conserve timber by pre-
