HIGH PRICED STAR
 OF GIANTS AGAIN HITS THE BUMPS

Jack Bentley. the extravagantly- priced pitcher from the Baltimore Orioles, again proved liability rather than an asset in his second appearance for the Giants, Sunday. Tried out against the Philadelphia Nationals, he allowed, one run in the second inning and was knocked out in the third when the visiting club collected five more runs off his de- livery. McGraw supplanted him in rapid succession with Ryan, Bishop, Walberg and Scott, but the Giants lost. to 8.
 The Chicago Cubs. who would have tied the New York club for first place in the National league by winning Sunday, failed to come through and lost to the Reds at Cincinnati. 3 to 0.

 During the war he was first an infantryman and then an aviator. Released at the armistice, De Viz caya enthusiastically jumped into automobile racing. At Le Mans he took part in the 1920 light car road race and was leading in his Bugatti when, in the excitement of the pits, Ettore Bugatti, designer and builder of the French racing cars, began to unScrew the radiator cap of the car,
 With great severity, the French referee ruled the car out of the race because of the technical ruling from working on the car during the course Of the race.
 In 1921 De vizcaya raced success fully at Broscia, Italy, and took part in the 20O-mile race on Brooklands track in England. The Brooklands course is practically a duplicate of the Indianapolis two and one-half- mile bricked oval and the little Frenchman showed to his best ad- vantage on the British speedway.

EAT NELSON TALKS GILr
By CHICK EVANS

Battling Nelson wandered in the other day. He looks robust and still has the readiness to chat that al- ways distinguished him Right off he jabbed me with the statement that golf is an old mans game, and playing it, he said, furnished no exercise. The astonishing thing about this statement is that the former lightweight champion of the world believes 1t. Ten years ago a man might have made such re- mark and have got away with it, but now it is greeted with a pitying smile.
 The amused grins were lost on Nelson, however, and he immediately followed up his observation with the query. Did any person ever get tired while playing golf?" Nelson was always surprised, he said, to see young fellows of the good build take up the game.
 It is useless to argue with man who talks in this manner. for the testimony of the inexperienced is of little worth. only first hand know ledge of the best game in the world can cure such deplorable ignorance.

 As I was talking to Nelson the thought concerning the amount of exercise in golf kept flashing through my mind. In front of me sat the interesting little prize fighter. who had just told me that he was 39 years old. For an hour and a half he had been talking fights and his fights at tn :, and from his conversation l was able to determine the atmosphere in which he lived. AS he talked his eyes followed his listeners. darting here and there, doubtless in the maner they follow his opponent in the ring.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, April 2S.- The first entries from France for the international 500-mile race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway have arrived with Pierre de yizcaya, wealthy French sportsman naming three Bugatti cars for the Hoosier event.
 The announcement of the entry of the Bugattis followed closely on the heels of the information that the company making the German Mer- cedes cars had signified it's inten- tion of starting three mounts in the historic five century grind.
 Bugatti cars are practically un- known in America, although on two occasions they have been driven at Indianapolis. However, the Bug atti team has been showing it's tires to contenders in European racing events for the last two years with no little success.
