Wounds Send Speed King

Because Eddie Rickenbacher. one Of
Americas foremost automobile race
drivers. became an ace, h doesn't fol
low thst all speed kings OF the saucer

There Is the case OF Arthur Duray
the Belgian speed demon. Dursy took
a shot at the flying game early In the
war and admits that he was perhaps the
worst aviator In France.
Yet Duray Is the king Of all speed
kings. A few years ago he drove g mile
In Pan seconds, a rate Of iAI miles an
hour, the fastest mile ever travelled by
human being In automobile, airship
or what not. This record was made at
the 0stende, Belgium, track before tho
war.
Duray IS racing In America at present.
Not because he Is a slacker-he isn't
He walks with a decided limp. which
tells the story Of what he has done in

were somewhat surprised at his reply

A few days ago Duke set for himself
new record, swimming the i25-yard
distance in i12 as. beating his own
record by 2-5 seconds. He used the
Australian crawl.
Kohanamoku is the perfect type Of
swimmer. His records and perform
ances in tank and open water place
him in solitary isolation in this branch
Of snort.
Yet his career has not been an easy
one.
Until eight years ago Duke was Just
an ordinary swimmer. When he won
his initial tryouts for the Olympic
games in 1908 his performances were
so mediocre that critics unanimously
decided that he would not do. Hard
work with competent coaching made
him the wonder he is today.
More than this. Duke has a passion
