Louis Disbrow Wants
 to Enter Auto Race

Indianapolis, January 15.--(Special.)-- Louis Disbrow, veteran of the auto rac- ing game, wants to drive in the ninth the Indianapolis Motor speedway, Mon day, May 30 1921.
 He has already applied for reinstate- lment in the A. A. A., under whose ruling the Indianapolis event is staged. Disbrow has been racing for the International tracks at state fairs.
 Disbrow drove in 250 events in the sea- son just closed, competing in more races than any other driver. In a single month he drove at 1s fairs, travelling 1,200 miles or railroad trains and spending but four nights in honest -to-goodness beds.
 In few short hours hurting over the bricks of the Indianapolis saucer he will have his chance at near;y $10OOO0. A suc- cessfuI drive in the Indianapolis event would be rich picking for Louis Maybe that's the reason he decided to return to the Indianapolis race.
 Disbrow has been racing for 20 years. He was entered in 1911 at Indianapolis and finished eighth in a Case in 1913.
 The veteran driver has not yet named the car he will ride. He is now look ing over the field, and says the car must be a top-notch job if he is to pilot it. He wants an even break on speed and durability when he rolls to the tape with the classiest race drivers of two conti- nents at Indianapolis in May.
 Disbrow had his first accident in 1s years last summer when his car turned over in race at Albany, Ga He frac- tured four ribs.

Declines In Price of Wheat Sending Jess
 Against Jack Again

Topeka. Kan. January 15.--'Ill never fight again said Jess Willard as he left the ring al Toledo that hot July 4 afternoon in 1919. bruised and bleed ing hulk, following his three-round knockout at the hands of Jack Demp sey, man whom he had under-ate to sey, a man whom he had underrated to train for.
 Few people blamed Willard. He was rated as a poor spender as ring cham pions go and the reports of his say ings invested in acres and acres of the black farm soil of Kansas varied from S50,0O0 to $2O0.0O0. These reports were true. the amount actually being around slo0,O0O. Vet today, IS months after he retired" finds Willard signed up for another bout with Dempsey. There have been as many reasons cited for this as there were for his defeat in Toledo. And all of them have been wrong
 By a strange paradox of fate it was Willard's ability to hoard his ring win nings, which is sending him forth now at the age of 45 in an effort to regain his title or at least put up a good enough battle to justify his being given the s30000 purse which will be his share from the Madison Square Gar den Sscrap in March For if q few weeks ago corn, wheat and other farm products. had not followed the prices Of other products in a sweeing decline, there is little doubt that Willard would have lived up to his Toledo statement and the promise made his wife at that time that he was through with the ring But today Willard finds his ring earnings invested in several thousand acres of Raw river bottom land east or here for which he paid fancy price and which today is worth only two-thirds ot what he paid. Worse, he has on hls hands and is being compelled to sell thousands of bushels of wheat corn and other farm products which cost him more to raise than they bring on market glutted with foodstuffs.
 So Willard is going to fight again to make good his losses. He is far from bankrupt, but few men stand by and see half of their capital wiped out in a year and make no effort to regain It.. It would take Willard years to recu-' perate his losses by farming even on the large scale he has undertaken 1t. By few weeks training. he again can face Dempsey, have fair chance to re- gain his title. and even if he gets an other trouncing will have $30,O00 to scoth his bruises.
 And now you have the reason why Willard is going to fight again.
