Sand Smooths and Campbell Keys for Run Britisher Drives Beach at 90 in Road Car to Test Hard Surface. BY HENRY M'LKMORE I Prr% SUB Cnrrr.pandrnt DAYTONA BEACH. Fla . March 20—It Is th** md and the tides, not Sir Malcolm Campbell, who are now racing against time. With the Britons passage for home booked, and Bluebird surrounded by the big wooden crates which will carry her back to England nature finally had a change of and is working day and night to prepare a 300-mile an hour b^ach. Today it was fifty-fifty, a flip of the coin, whether or not the days would on out before the fickle old lady who pulls the strings on the elements had time to pack the sands. Hind In Right Direction For six weeks Campbell stood by, awaiting nature's pleasure, and for six weeks she tantalized him with vagrant winds and a fickle surf. He wired New York for passage on the Berengana. * We can't wait rorever,” he said, "and it looks like that's what we'd have ;o do to get a perfect beach. So let’s be done with it.” No sooner had Campbell given marching orders than nature relented. The wmd swung to the northeast—the proper place. The ** a, almost dead calm for days, began sending in the long, curling lollers that heal the bruised sands. It was as if nature had regretted her obstinacy, and had set her mind on giving the stout little Britisher what he wanted —11 miles of hammered highway on which to give Bluebird the gun. Treacherous Rumps Gone Today It seemed nature might have time to squeeze in her apology. The beach, a dismal sweep of wrinkles and soft sand two days ago. was. to the eye at least, clean and hard. The treacherous bumps Just south of the measured mile were nearly gone, as were the undulations near the south tip of the course. It was so good, in fact, that Campbell, after a 90-mile an hour drive over it in his heavy sedan, said there was a possibility that low tide at 2 p. m. would find him out for a test run.

That prefaced the introduciton of Dr. Cliff Carlson, famous Pitt cage coach, who said he was unable to recall the score of that famous contest, but recalled that its length was regulated by a calendar instead of a clock. a a u REV. HUGH O'DONNELL, vice president of the university, spoke of the spirit of Notre Dame men and how the boys on the campus daily prayed for Joe Sullivan, the football captain, who died this morning in New York. It was just last year that Notre Dame's football team took a crushing blow with the death of John (Tex) Young. Coach George Keogan expressed several reasons why the team of the past season was one of the best outfits he had ever coached at Notre Dame, and how he would continue to play the best competition possible to obtain as long as he is at the Irish school. The team loses only two men, Joe O'Kane and Johnny Jordan, he said, and he has high hopes for next year, principally because every member of the promising looking freshman team passed mid-term exams with high grades. nan JOHNNY FORD, former Cathedral High School star of Indianapolis. was unable to attend, being confined to the infirmary with measles, but big Mike O’Connor, another Capital City boy, was on hand.

In fact, Mr. Hinkle said he w'as going to keep those two officials on the games until he beat Notre Dame if he died doing it. Father Mooney and Ed (Moose) Krause, former Notre Dame allAmerica basketball center were among those who made humorous talks. Other addresses were made by Nick Kearns and Frank Lane, Big Ten officials; Pat Flannagan.

BOSTON WINS HOCKEY RACE BY SINGLE POINT By United Press NEW YORK, March 20.—The regular season of the National Hockey League was over today, with six teams poised for the playoff for the league championship and the Stanley cup. The New York Rangers faltered in the stretch and slipped into third place in the close race for the American division lead. The Chicago Hawks finished last night with a 4-2 victory over the Montreal Canadiens, and missed by a single point getting a tie for the leadership with Boston, which dropped its last start to the Maroons, 4-2. Toronto, leading the International division, took a parting shot at the cellar-dwelling St. Louis Eagles in a 5-3 game which submerged the Eagles still deeper.

March 20.—A moving picture camera was installed today at Le Tremblay to register finishes of horse races for the first time in Paris racing. The Societe Dt Sport De France, which owns the park-like course, is following an innovation tried successfully at Marseilles, and likely to become part of track equipment in all Europe. The modern scientific method will be used to confirm and supercede judges in close finishes, precluding the usual howling against officials after close finishes. The camera will take 160 pictures a second and thus will register positions of the horses approximately every four inches. Whenever the stewards decide the finish is too close, the word “photograph” will be posted and final decision withheld. Pictures will be developed immediately, the finish announced and pictures posted. The whole operation will require under 10 minutes. FORMER CHAMPION WINS Frank Taberski of Schenectady. N.

Grappling Fans Sit In on Wild Scramble at Armory
Overflow Crowd Sees Marshall and McMillen Draw in Exciting Feature; Otto Kuss Wins Over Coffield. Everett Marshall today was forced to nudge over and share his No. 2 spot in the heavyweight wrestling business with Jim McMillen, the big Chicagoan. Big Jim traded punches and holds'with the Colorado blond for one hour and a half in the feature tussle of the Hercules A. C. program at the Armory last night, and when the battle was over, they were even in
bruises and points. With an overflow crowd cheering and jeering hilariously throughout the rivals touched anew local high for thrills and action. Much of the time they spent on the mat, sliding into and out of holds. Both took flying trips through the ozone and into the first aisle. Angered by Big Jim’s audacity, Marshall, early in the tussle, picked himself up off the hardwood outside the ring and grabbed for a chair—but the Joke was on him. The Armory seats come in threes, and the other two were occupied. During his pitching practice, Big Jim found an able receiver in a first-row customer on the east side of the ring. Five times Marshall was tossed out on this side, and each time, McMillen’s battery-mate dashed wildly to the expected landing spot and caught Everett, either on the fly or first bounce. There were few idle moments during the ninety minutes of struggling. Even Referee Heze Clark took a hand in the grappling. Ordered to break under the ropes, the gladiators refused. Heze leaped into action, and thereby got his foot into trouble. But to Heze’s credit, he didn’t lose a single decision in his three trips up. In addition to their free-swinging slugfests and slams, the gladiators trotted out a varied assortment of holds that had the fans yelling for a fall. At the windup both were nearly exhausted, McMillen was wearing an off-hue left eye and bruises, and Marshall wore red marks left by Big Jim's elbows and feet. Otto Kuss, the I. U. collegian, had anew experience in the semi-wind-up, also scheduled for two falls out of three. The young pastimer was showered with boos for the manner in which he disposed of Jimmy Coffield, young Kansas City speed merchant, a victory which avenged Otto's only defeat in the pro bonetwisting business. For thirty minutes the young gladiators tore away at each other with much gusto. Then Coffield clipped Otto on the chin with a dropkick, the same method that won for the Kansas City star previously. But this time Kuss picked himself up, hoisted Coffield over his head and dropped him over the top hemp to the floor. Coffield dragged Otto with him, but the collegian landed on top, and was first back into the ring. Coffield also crawled back, but was easy prey for a series of slams. He was reported to have injured his

White Sox Are Still Building, Kirksey Finds Vernon (George) Washington Is in Right Field Under Present Lineup. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY Vnitcd Press Staff Correspondent PASADENA. Cal.. March 20 —The Chicago White Sox still are rei building. They've been doing that now for 15 years, ever since Charles j Comiskey. “the Old Roman.” wrecked the club after the "Black Sox” scandal in 1919. The White Sox finished in the cellar last season, so it may be I safely said that exactly no progress ; has been made over that long span I of years. Jimmy Dykes succeeded Lew Foni seca as manager last season. Dykes is a good man for the job. He's one of the most popular men in baseball. He's one of the hardest huslers in the game. Pilot Dykes Not Jubilant Dykes played with the Athletics wffien the team w-as in the cellar and stuck with it until the world's championship was annexed. If Dykes could do that as manager of the White Sox, he would justly deserve the title of baseball's “miracle man” of all time. “I expect we’ll be slightly improved this season,” said Dykes. “We couldn’t be any worse than last year. I have no idea where well finish.” Sizing up the White Sox lineup, we find: Infield—Same as last year with Bonura at first, Hayes at second. Appling at short, and Dykes at third. Marty Hopkins, one of the best fielders in the game but weak at bat, will probably get in a lot of games at third, and Glenn Wright, brought from Kansas City, will sub for Hayes and Bonura. Wright can still hit but his arm isn't strong enough for steady work. Youngsters on Mound Staff Outfield—Rip RadclifT, who hit .335 for Louisville, in left; A1 Simmons in center, and Vernon (George) Washington, who hit .367 for Indianapolis, in right are the present lineup. Bud Hafey, who hit .320 for the Missions, and Mule Haas, hustling harder than ever, are giving the two rookies. RadclifT and Washington, plenty of competition. Simmons hopes Haas retains his center field job as he wants to stay in* left. Pitching—Three veterans, George Earnshaw, Ted Lyons, and Sad Sam Jones, and four youngsters, Les Tietje, up last year; Lee Stine from Milwaukee, Vernon Kennedy ! from Oklahoma City and John Whitehead from Dallas, form the first line. Babe Phelps from St. Paul, Joe Vance from Dallas and Whit Wyatt are battling for the relief jobs. A southpaw is needed badly with John Michaels from Rochester apparently not yet ripe. Catching—Luke Sewell, obtained from Washington via the Browns, will be the No. 1 man. Bob Fenner from St. Paul apparently has won the second string job, with Mervin Shea, last year's first stringer, dropped to No. 3. STRATTON IS SINGLES VICTOR IN SHOOT HERE Fred Stratton won the singles event at the Crooked Creek Gun Club’s shoot yesterday, breaking 48 out of 50 targets.
