 OUTCLASS FIELD
 IN HOCKEY RACE

NEW YORK, Jan. 2i--Les Canadiens of Montreal are making as much of runaway of the race for supremacy in the Canadian group of the National Hockey League this season as the New York Yankees did in their base ball league last summer.
 With the season less than half over these Flying Frenchmen' with an almost irresistible attack and perfectly co-ordinated play ill all departments had gained sup stantial lead over the world champion Ottawa Senators an,i the Montreal Maroons who ap. peared to be their principal rivals.
 A goodly share of the credit fo: the Montreal teams sensational cleanup goes to the crack scor- ing aces of its forward line. Al the 20-game point, Aurel Joliat was leading Howie Morenz by a few points for league scoring honors and Art Cagne was not far behind the leaders. Herb Gardi. ner and Silvic Mantha are the regular defense men with Hains. worth in the nets.
 In the first twenty games Les Canadiens lost only one and tied four. They were defeated by the

Detroit Cougars 2-9 on November 27 and then for more than d month and half the only points they dropped were tie games with Boston, Pittsburgh and Ottawa. The Maroons previously tied them.
 As evidence of the defensive and offensive strength of the Canadiens, the standings show that only IS goals-an average Of less than one goal per game = have been scored against George Hainsworth, while 63, or an aver age of more than 3 goals per game have been registered against their opponents. The Detroit Cougars. American group leaders, have scored 45 goals and hay. had 39 netted against them.
 The Canadiens have defeated every team in the circuit Six of their 15 victories were shutouts.
 The Canadiens' scoring record for the first 20 games:

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla, Jan 24-On the same wide baacf where w. K. Vanderbilt, Barne, Oldfield, Henry Ford and othcl racing pioneers burned new re cords over the hard-packed sand England and America soon will ra new their battle for automobile speed supremacy.
 The trials here February 15 tc 23 will mark the 18th anniversar; of automobile racing and the first attempt by the United States ic regain the worlds speed record which Major H. o. D. Segraye took to England last year after shooting his giant machine over the beach at 203.79 miles per hour.
 Frank Lockhart, veteran of American tracks, and J. M. White Philadelphia manufactures, in spe cially constructed racers, will seek the new worlds record for this country while Captain Malcolm Campbell will attempt to uphold the honor of Great Britain by breaking the mark set by his countryman. In addition, M. De pendin, French driver who recent. ly won the Grand Prix in Spain is reported planning to enter the international events.
 One of the problems which may be solved is whether the highest speed can be attained by huge car of enormous power built to overcome wind resistance nv sheer force. or by the smaller car designed with minimum of wind resistance and calculated to gain it's speed by high per minute revolution.
 Major Segrave's Mystery s. which weighed three tons, and Whites "Triplex," which will reg ister four tons, represent the first type. while Lockhart's new car. Captain Campbelrs "Bluebird'' and M. Dependin's machine typ:- fly the second.
 With his "Bluebird," Captain Campbell held the worlds record at 1S7 miles per hour until Se- grave established the new mark. For the Daytona Beach trials Cap. tain Campbell's racer will be equipped with new body and a special 450-horsepower Napier en- zine. the secret British Admiralty development with which England won the last Schneider cup sea- plane race at five-mile-a-minute club.

My theory" said Raab. "is thnt the human mind and heart cannot stand the effect of the bullet-like velocity necessary to overcome the Earths gravitation.
 'I am inclined to believe that at a certain point during the terrific speed unconsciousness will set in. and it Is with much curiosity that am going to try the first shot with myself inside the bullet"
 Raab. who Is in his middle thir- ties. is of the slender. nervous type. daringly reckless. It was he who landed his plane in the Inter den Linden in Berlin to give an Ameri- can correspondent an exclusive story. And it was he. too. who cracked up a plane in the garden of the Princess Hermine of Reuss so that the same reporter could con- firm the reported engagement of that royal parsonage to the ex- Kaiser. The story goes that Her. mine was so amused by the expedi- ent that she willingly granted an exclusive interview to the reporter regarding her royal romance.

"M'FADDEN'S FLATSs

A "gag" in picture parlance is situation which, fitting perfect ly into the story, produces a cer- tain laugh. says Edward Small, producer and supervisor.
 The definition was voiced the other day by MT. Small during the filming of '4McFadden's Flats, which he transferred to the screen for First National and which is at the Palace, starting tomorrow. Since the story is comedy, and, moreover, one of the comedy cias- sics of the stage. practically every known "gag" that might produce 8 laugh was offered for use in keeping up the laughs that are expected to cram t from start to finish.
 But gags must fit, like an old shoe, or they produce wrinkles OF the brow rather than about ths mouth" said Mr. Small. "I am for laughs every time. They are the pure gold of every production But the man who thinks that any sort of a gag can be dragged into a story and produce laughs we'll, he won't continue fooling the public very long" ,.,... x.
