CHICAGO RACE
STAR ENTERED
At Davenport


Cliff Woodbury., noted Chicago
driver, is the latest entrant in the
championship automobile races at
the Mississippi Valley Fair grounds
ON Wednesday afternoon. June Is,
and Woodbury. will bring to the
Tri-Cities the famous Frontenac,
which finished first 1t Indianapolis
in 1920.
Woodbury's nomination was re-
ceived late yesterday afternoon by
Secretary M. e. Bacon after Mr..
Bacon had promised the Chicago
boy q good bonus for starting in
the Davenport races. St Paul was
competed against Davenport for
the entry Of the Frontenac.
Woodbury. in 1916 was one of the
starters in the Fort Armstrong Cen
tennial races at the old mile track.
Driving a Duesenberg, he made 4
great showing and would have cap
tured the long race but for a bad
tire, which caused him to skid into
the fence. That put him out Of the
running and allowed Hearne, Raj
mey and Endicott to cop the big
end OF the prize money.
The Chicago speedster has al
ways been among the winners and
no doubt he will prove good oppo-
sition for Leon Duray, the dirt
track champion, who has entered
the Oldfield Golden Submarine.
Woodbury. will also get aid from
Ray Lampkin and E. Ted Hill,
European stars, and Ray Claypool,
the Kansas City dust hound.
The official entries will close
next Saturday at midnight.

DIFFERENCE OF
20 POUNDS WHEN
FIGHTERS MEET
Dempsey Aim s To
Weigh 100 OF, Day
of Battle.

Atlantic City, June There will
be a difference in weight of about
20 pounds when Jack Dempsey and
Georges Carpenter peel off their
bathrObes for the world heavy
weight championship match in Jer-
sey City, July 2.
Dempsey said today that he plan
ned to scale exactly 100 pounds in
the ring. When he won the title
from Jess Willard at Toledo, two
years ago, Dempsey scaled 1877
pounds. He weighed 1856 pounds
when he defeated Billy Miske at
Benton Harbor, Mich, last Labor
Day, and 1872 pounds when he met
Bill Brennan in New York last win
ter.
Il am growing bit and I am
governing my weight accordingly"
Dempsey said. Il think l will be at
my best at 100 pounds, and will be
able to box at top speed. Carpen-
tier, understand, will weigh about
ITO pounds"
With the match less than four
weeks away Dempsey is nearing
the weight he wishes to reach. The
champions legs are as thin as a
llshtweight's and he is taking long
runs on the road every morning 20
keep any surplus weight of them
Inere is not much evidence of sur
plus weight around his mid-sec-
ton. nor On his tremendous chest
and back. Dempsey is a great be-
lever in drinking plenty Of water.
which he says enables him to per.
splre freely and quickly.

Burke caught two on the nose for

bases between left and center. His

McInerney led the Islanders' At
