Nashville, May Especial )-"Cap' AL ley is famous character at Wander bilt
 In fact he is about as well known and perhaps better than the old Con- modores statue.
 On May 6 Cap celebrated the thirty sixth anniversary of his connection wjth the university at "Vanderbilt Police No. l." this being his official title, as desie- mated on the glittering silver badge he wears on his vest, his chief emblem of authority.
 For 36 years Vanderbilt men nave learned to know and love Cap" have seen him put many youngster off Dud- ley field who had entered by the fence climbing route without the customary pasteboard token of admission paid.
 For S6 years Cap has been an il- stitution himself. And in order to ren- der unto Caesar the things that are Caesars, a special benefit ball game be- tween Vanderbilt and Howard college was staged Friday afternoon, the entire proceeds going to Gap"
 The crowd was there. The Commodoi band was there. Cap was there. It was a great occasion and the thou sands of Vanderbilt alumni and former students scattered over the face of the earth will rejoice that Gap has at last been honored

Weekly Financial Review

New York, May S.-Easier credit con ditions and other favorable developments this week caused the securities market to record six days of great activity with irregularly higher price levels
 For the first time in many months the money market, as governed by opera tions of the federal reserve system man ifested distinct signs of improvement This tendency, moreover, was not restrict ed to home markets, but extended to the worlds principal financial centers.
 Another event of importance was an rouncement of reduction of wages and salaries by the United States Steel cor poration From such action by the coun- try's largest industrial unit, it was in- ferred that commodity prices were re- sponding more obviously to the law of supply and demand.
 European affairs, as expressed in terms of foreign exchange, seemed to have reached the stage where 1t was reason ably possible to discount the outcome of Germany's indemnity payments. Leading remittances were firm. while French, Belgian and Italian bills rose to highest quotations since the close of the war. Once the German separations payments were definitely outlined it was believed intrnational bankers would apply thenl- selves to the task of thawing out the incalculabe frozen credits which have paralyzed foreign trade balances of lead
 ing nations for the last year.

RING INACTIVITY CAUSE OF POOR , SHOWING OF BRITISH HEAYYWEIGHTS

And so does everyone else.
 Frequent fighting has made Harry Greb a satellite. He mixed it in some thing like 25 tits in 1920-more than Beckett fought in six years. And Greb, instead of being worse off for it, was a better warrior at the end. Constant battling keeps his muscles tuned nice- ly, and continued him in fine condition. If he had loafed those muscles would have relaxed--or 'rusted"-as the ex- pression goes-and when he went back into harness again he'd find himself back in the super condition that he carried all through 1920.
 LEONARD ACTIVE
 Battling Levinsky was perpetual notion ringman. He fought oftener in one year than did Greb. While he was actively fighting he- showed up wonderfully. AS soon as he began to loaf, he slipped from greatness. Benny Leonard has retained the lightweight championship, and fought so splendid ly through four years, because he has been active--because he fought close to 20 battles year.
 Once during his championship 'eign Leonard became an idler. That was last year when he was out on the Pacific coast, and was in the movies.
 
 White. And Charlie came close to wins ming. It wasn't that Leonard had gone back. It was simply because Leonard hat trusted" a bit by staying away fror, the battlefields. As soon as Ben ny began busying himself at his trade again, he resumed knocking over oppo- nents one after another.
 Beckett and Wells are now too old to expect anyone to be able to teach them new tricks. They've been Knocked out so often that the confidence neces- sary for a great fighter has been stolen from them. But some day Eng land may uncover another man who is as good naturally as either one. If Er gland wants to see that fellow climb to greatness, 1t will see to it that the man is active. It will so arrange things that he will fight every two weeks or every month. By such a programme-and only by such pro- gramme- can England expect to de- velop any likely looking youngster to 8 point of heavyw eight greatness.

Pirates Strongly Fortified in Mound
 Strength for Tour

New York. May S.-The first inter- sectional battles in the major leagues this week will give an idea of the rela- tive strength of the western and east ern teams of each league. The Pitts burg National league leaders are strongly fortified in pitching strength for their invasion of the east, while the staff of the Cleveland Americans, worlds champions appears well pre- pared to take care of the eastern in- vaders. Pittsburg will play Boston. and Philadelphia before attacking the strong Brooklyn and New York teams Cleveland will be host to it's nearest rivals, Washington and New Work, while Detroit will take on these two eastern teams in the reverse order.
 In the National league, the Pitts burg twirlers have yielded an average of about three and onefourth runs game, and the Brooklyn and New York box men have been scored upon at a slightly higher rate. The winning streaks of the Pirates and Giants were interrupted today by Cincinnati and Brooklyn, respectively. Pittsburg had
 won nine StFdlSnt, anu lNeW IoTh SiA. The Pirates and Giants were the only
 National teams to gain ground last week Most of the other teams had unsteady pitching. Philadelphia's staff is doing we'll but has been handi- capped because of weak batting.
 In the American league, Cleveland appears to be the only western team
 which will give strong opposition to the two leading eastern clubs, unless Detroit's heavy batting can carry its faltering pitching staff to victory. The Tigers, who have averaged nearly 12 hits game, jumped into the first di- vision last week, but lost chance to- day to advance to second place. when St. Louis out-slugged them. New York's success over Washington gives the Yankees renewed confidence for their western trip.
 Boston continues to break even in its contests, with no threat of an upward or downward move. The St. Louis and Chicago pitchers have been hit hard.
 The White Sox have dropped to last place, while Philadelphia, which had its first winning week, has advanced la step.

Chicago Amateur to
 Enter Big Auto Race

Indianapolis, Ind, May S.-(Special.)- Percy Ford, national amateur racing champion, entered the international 500-mile race to be held at the Indian apolis motor speedway Monday. May 30. He will drive a Chicago Frontenac
 Ford, who is an automobile sales manager in Chicago, broke into the racing game in 1915 as a pilot in dealers race held at the Chicago speed way, since dismantled. His most inn portant victory was in 1917 when he won 100-mile professional race in Chicago.
 Percy Ford is one of the last of the most successful amateur drivers to succumb to the wiles of an interna- tional race, and he is prepared to take his two stiff workouts every day to get the physical trim for the strenuous competition that he will face in tho big race.
 Ford was born in Chicago in 1888; married Chicago girl in 1910, and is the father of Courtland Ford, age 10, who will attend the race with his mother. Fords family does not object to his entering the race, in fact they are rather proud of it. He figures that racing is profitable; knows no fear in a race. and if he had it to do all over again he would fall for the fascination of auto racing. If he is at all success full in the Indianapolis race, he will undoubtedly become a steady fixture In racing programmes.
 HIS FAVORITE SPORT
 Golf and auction bridge are favorite pastimes with Ford. but his favorite srort is auto racing. In fact, his ann bition when he was a boy was to race and even during his high school days, where he developed an ardent interest in art and literature, he had dreams of dSiving racing cars.
 The funniest thing he ever saw on race course, according to Ford, Twas driver with his gear in reverse at the starting line" and he was thrilled to his finger tips when Goux, the French man, won the international 500 mile race at Indianapolis In 1913. It is because 'ft takes real drivingp that Ford prefers the Indianapolis course to all others. He has been re- hearsing the course with his car for driver to hit the bricks this season.
 Indianapolis, Ind, May 7.-(Special) If local baseball fans want to see the Indianapolis American association team Decoration day, they will go to the 500-mle race to be held Monday May 30, at the Indianapolis Motor speedway. Manager Jack Hendricks of the Indians has accepted the invita- tion of the motor speedway manage ment to be guests at the internationa classic.

"'HOWDY" WILCOX $ TO DRIVE PEUGE0T
 IN 500-MILE RACE
By T. E. "PoPy MYERS

Indianapolis, Ind, May 8.-Seeing Ralph DePalma push his car to the pit after it had stalled. when he was five miles from first place at Indian : arolis in 1912, was, the funniest thins that Howard Samuel Wilcox could think of when we interviewed him. He Is slated to drive a French Peugeot in the international 5oo-mile race to be held at the Indianapolis Motor speed way Monday, May 30.
 Iu fact, Wilcox claims he shook in his seat with laughter every time he swished past DePalma, who was pit ward bound. Then we found the inside reason. Joe Dawson, wko was in sec on.l place. took the lead when DePalma broke up, and Dawson and Wilcox were on the same team. and were to split the race winnings.
 Wilcox, whose middle name is Sam> uel, was born at Charlottesville, Ind, June 24, 1889, and was married in 1917 at Indianapolis. He is the father of Howard Samuel Wilcox, Jr a year and a half old, who will sit in his mothers lap at the race this year.
 One of the most skilled drivers to- day racing, Wilcox was schooled by that old master. the late John Aitken. Wilcox rode as mechanic with Aitken in 1909, and soon became proficient enough to handle his own cars. His most important victory was the win- ming of the 500-mile race at Indianapo- lis in 1919. To be either policeman or a lawyer were the ambitions of his boyhood days, but he evidently could not decide whether he would be a po- liceman and arrest trouble-makers, or be lawyer and free the people police- men corral, So he abandoned both ideas after two years in high school, and became a race driver.
 GREATEST THRILL
 My greatest thrill was when Pop Myers, manager of the Indianapolis speedway, handed me a check for $20- 900, the prize for first place in the 1919 race" but Wilcox says it was pathetic to see Red" Lime, a racing character. and factory man for large tire manu- facturer, rave and tear his hair, and see the sorrowful and dejected appear ance of the diminutive tire mounter when a speed machine mounted on tires manufactured by Q competitor finished ahead of car equipped with his brand-and without making sim gle stop for tires in 500 miles of speed ing.
 Wilcox is frank, when he says he likes the Indianapolis course. because 'it pays more money than any other track and you can get the check cashed after you get It.
 He trains for his race meets by play ing handball, his favorite sport. and does not Intend to quit racing. despite the fact that his family objects. He knows no fear in a race. and would start all over again # he were boy. Wilcox smokes. is interested in music and is the owner of an auto accessory store.
