ROsTAN SHOWS EAI.

MILWAUKEE, Feb. 5.-The Wisconsin
boxing commission is satisfied that Navy
ROstan is a worthy opponent to meet
Johnny Wilson of Boston, mIddleweight
champion, at Kenosha, Wis, next
Wednesday night
When Bill Frazier, Kenosha promoter
announced a few days ago he had com
pleted arrangements for the bout the
members of the commission are said to
have had their doubts whether Rostan
was a fighter of required callber for a
championship. They decided that Ros-
tans ability should be investigated be-
fore instead of after the Kenosha en-
gagement, SO he was invited to AIilwau-
kee and asked to box five round with
Ted Jameson, former A. A. L. cham
pion.
Rostan agreed and is said to have
taken the affair so much in earnest that
four rounds were sufficient to convince
both the commission and Jameson that
he is fully qualified to battle with q
champion.

DEPALMA GETS
ON ENTRY LIST
FOR NEXT RACE
Speed Fans to See FavOrite
Performer at Wheel of Bal
lot Here in May.
HOLDS TRACK RECORD

Ralph De Palma, international star and
one Of Americas favorite race drivers. is
the second to enter the ninth annual 500
mile international sweepstakes Of the In
dianapo1is motor speedway, May 80.
Eddie Hearne is the only one to precede
Ralph in entering.
In fling his entry De Palma has not
named the car he will drive, but 1t is
generally believed that this will be q
Ballot from the Paris factory. De Palma
has been driving the "eight-in-line'
speedster for two years and Will start
the championship season at Los Angeles,
on WashingtOn's birthday, at the wheel
of the French car. He has also been Sc
lected by Earnest Ballot to captain Lis
team of four cars in the French Grand
Prix in July.
De Palma gained favor Of the speed
fans IN 1912 by defeat rather than vic
tory. The Italian-American drove Mer-
cedes in the 900" nine years ago. Fol
495 miles he showed the way to all the
American and foreign cars and drivers
only to have victory slip from his grasp
and see $4,000 vanish, with two laps 81
the brick course to go. His "dago luck,
as he chose TO designate his misfortune
made him the favOrite OF almost every
fan.
an almost seven-hOur battle with Darlo
Resta and his fleet Peugeot. This time
De Palma again drove Mercedes. While
Ralph had perhaps five miles an hour
less under the hood of his car he out
gained Resta in driving and attained the
ambition Of every race driver-a 5OO-mile
victory. Incidentally, no driver has ever
twice won this event.
De Palma, in making his entry has
advised T. z. Myers, general manager OF
the indianapolis Motor Speedway Com
psny, that he hopes 10 be the first to
hang up two fye-century Victories, al
though he is not egotistical enough to
state that he will win the event, which
last yesr carried a total cash award OF
about 500, goo.
III luck last May was all that prevented
De Palma from being the first TO win a
pair of Indianapolis races. The same was
true in 1919 when he set the pace Tor
the first half of the race. Although De
Palma has won countless races, the fans
admire him more for his sportsmanhke
attitude nine years ago when victory
was turned into defeat because iron and and
steel could not stand the strain Of the
speed test on the brick oval for another
four minutes
