RECORD LOWERED
FOR FIVE MILES
Macdonald Covers Distance
in 3:17.

oRMoND, Fla, Jan. PA prelimin-
ary clip at the worlds straightaway au-
tomobile records was made yesterday
by the wiping out of the figures of
minutes 81 10 seconds, for five miles,
made by William X Vanderbilt. jr., last
year.
The time for this distance is now
minutes and II seconds. This was
achieved during the running of the
minor contests by Arthur Macdonald. of
London, England, who came here rec
Ord-hunting with a Napier car of ninety
horsepower.
The seach was only in fair condition.
and there was a mild breeze blowing
from north TO south; so the course was
laid 20 the south, starting from Day
tona- Except for this one record. the
five days tournament opened tamely.
The idea was first to dispose of the
events of least interest, and SO the
program was composed of races at ore,
five and ten miles between stock cars,
In full touring rig, or with the bodies
removed
The first race furnished a minor acci-
dent to a car, but otherwise there was
no mis- nap. The single accident con-
sisted Of driving shaft jumping from
its moorings, and il might very easily
have resulted disastrously. MacDon-
aid, the record-breaker of the day, is a
young Englishman, who has figured
prominently in several races abroad.
With his high-powered car Macdonald
was reckoned TO be something of a
dark horse.
Barney OldieId said today that he will
not start IN any race. What is the
use? My car Is not fast enough said
he. 1T is a track racing car and viii
not do 10 compete against these big
fellows on the beach 1 viii race it
against any other car of its caliber-
that is, sixty horsepoWer-but not in
open events. The best / have been

Pounded Emil Selya With
Great Enthusiasm.
CATCH-AS-CATCH-CAN STYLE
Loser Claims Graeco Roman Honors and
Will Have Chance That Way.
Revenge for Carbino
cATCH-AS-cATCH-CAN STYLE

Shad Link, OF Baltimore, manhandled
Emil Selva at the Lyceum TheateT
last night in a sprightly wrestling
match for fifteen minutes
Shad was TO get SO in real money If
he stayed fifteen minutes with Selva,
who is meeting all corners. Before the
match there was much acrimonious dis
cussion about the style. Selva claims
to be the Graeco-Roman champion, and
signs said title with a large flourish,
although there are others in the buSi-
ness who claim the same distinction
Link has child-like faith in himself,
and said he would wrestle any old way,
but Charley Weiss, his manager. held
out for catch-as-catch-can and gained
his point.
Link His Master.
The men had not been On the mat a
minute before it was apparent that at
that style Link was easily the master
OF the Frenchman, who was forced TO
Keep on the defensive In one OF the
previous engagements Selva had Enauled
Ernest Carbino, Links partner, so bad
ly that Carbino Will feel the need OF
rest and quiet for some time to come.
Shad started out to get revenge, and
delivered the goods. He earnestly en-
deayored to let Selva know he had been
in a match and got away with the job
in great shape. He got a hammerlock
that nearly put the m sieu out OF busl-
ness and then switched to cute little
nelson and leg hold that twisted Selva
into crude imitation of a cruller.
There is hardly any doubt but what
Link could have thrown his man on
several occasions, but it was only an
exhibition, and after twisting q, few OF
his bones out of place and sprainins
odds and ends OF ligaments, he let him
go each time The same pair will meet
tonight at Graeco-Roman style, and
Selva will have an opportunity to show
: If he really is made of championship
caliber.
