SOLO REFUEL
PLANE CRASHES
Pilot Uniniured When He
Drops Into Lake.

MILLS FIELD, SAN FRANCISCO,
Aug. 21.-Don Templeman's one
man refueling endurance fight
came to an end late Tuesday night,
less than an hour before he would
have established a record, when his
plane crashed into a lake.
Templeman was not hurt, but was
taken to a hospital to rest and fell
asleep before he could tell the details
of the accident. He had been in the
air slightly less than thirty-six hours
when he fell.
Templeman, whose escape from
injury was regarded as miraculous.
had accomplished a new feat in
aviation annals by successfully re-
fueling his plane six times while he
plotted
AS the mother plane lowered
over him Templeman graSped the
fuel hose with one hand, directing
his ship with the other.
Refueling with two men in each
plane is considered a matter of con-
siderable skill but Templeman was
successful in making perfect con-
facts six times.
Before the plane crashed into the
lake it hit a power line with
binding flash.
A. heavy fog lay over the field and
it was believed Templeman became
so sleepy that when he was gliding
down to the field to drop note he
hit the line.

Boxing fans of the valley who
attended the program at the open
air arena here Friday night are as
sured of another excellent card that
bids fair to surpass the fights last
week, according to Matchmaker
Harry Woodbury. who has signed
some classy boys.
The main event is a top shot

DE Los "Kid' Williams and
Ramon Montoya signed to travel
the 10 round route. Montoya, mex.

main event last week here, is per

numerous main events, not only on
the coast but all over the country.
He recently appeared in several top

Mickey is hard socker and is MAX

came to the coast recently with an
excellent reputation. He was told
by the big matchmakers in Los

The special event should be a

LEADS REST OF
THREE YEAR OLDS

CHICAGO, July Is. WD 1t
has taken more than half the sea
son for him to prove his right to the
crown but Blue Larkspur at last
has become king of the 1929 three
year olds.
This son of Behave Yourself ha4
not been so consistent as some of the
greats of other years but he con-
vinced $4,000 people here Saturday
that when he is in form there ism I
a three year old which can claim
parity with him.
He Won the $4,000 American
classic by five lengths He led
hom such horses as Clyde Van Dusen
Kentucky Derby winner; DR.. Free
land, Preakness winner; Windy
City, American Derby victory, and
Rose of Sharon, the year s best filly
The type of race he ran led many
to wonder how he ever had been
beaten this year. Under fine ride
by Jockey Mack Garner he lay well
back, with Garner standing in his
stirrups, for a mile. AS the stretch
was reached little Mack began to
ride and Larkspur pulled from fourth
to first position within 100 yards, in
creasin2 his lead in the stretch.
Larkspur ascension to the three
year old crown was great come
back from a slow start. Critics all
year have conceded that he is the
best 'fast track" horse in his class
but the elements decreed that he
run practically every big race IN

NEW YORK, July 10. W.D-it

dark haired young English star, scl-

made known today.
Unheralded, Germany has come
to the fore in international tennis
with surprising rapidity. DR.. Prem,
national champion at the age of %,
is persistent, courageous player
who possesses the tremendous sta
nina SO essential to success. His
two singles victories, together with
one scored by Hans Oldenauer, the
brilliant if somewhat erratic "vet-

it's victory over the English in the
European zone final round.
The German doubles com bination

strong, and should be easy for
whatever doubles combination the
United States sends into action.
1t is hardly likely that the Ger
mans can stop the American team.

if named for the doubles, can oe
counted upon for one point. Ameri-
can singles stars are the equals and
