NEW YORK, April 13. U.P)-Wn-

former Pacific Coast league presi-
dent, was regarded today as the like
ly successor to the late f. S. Bar
nard as head of the American
league.
Mccarthy, who drove gamblers
out of Coast league parks and later
was ousted as president in 1924 when
he lined up against William Wrigley,
Jr., In fight against syndicate
baseball, is reported TO have the sup
port of five American league clubs.
Although 1t was reported that Nc
Carthy has agreed TO accept the po-
sition, he told the United Press at
San Francisco that he had not been
approached by an official source.

and there were Il lew more cars
which had to finish after most Of
the spectators had gone home.
Sets Track Record
There was little doubt that bar
ring trouble Triplett would take
first money, for his car had set a
new track record of 1894 for the
mile in the qualifying run. The
late Frank Lockhart's record, made
at Cleveland, is 1894.
Mel Mckee took the 10 mile con-
ISOLATION race in 7:44 is, with
Spangler and Spencer finishing two
and three.
There were no accidents to mar
the program, although one car
skidded around on the back stretch
and caused minor damage. The
driver was unhurt and entered into
the race.
Tire trouble caused grief to some
of the cars, the fast pace and the
hot track being tough on the rub
Der.
The race was held up for some
time as minor adjustments were
made after Starter Wagner had
sent them around the track. Ten
times the cars made the loop be-
fore Wagner gave them the flag
that meant the start OF the race.
Only a fair crowd was in the
grandstand and bleachers, many
taking in the performance from the
great open spaces" on the east
side of the track.
While the day was warm, it was
not too hot TO watch the race in
comfort and cloudless sky seemed
to have its effect on the drivers,
who commented on the unusually
fine weather, something they do
not always get in their trips about
the country. The track also came
in for its share OF praise, more than
one driver asserting it can be deyel-
oped into one of the best dirt tracks
in the country

they were hidden, so that no one

"Our last hope Of winning gold from

was so burning. A number of ships
equipped with the latest scientific in
struments and modern laboratories

According to Arrenius, the per-

have been adequate to warrant ex-

that Arrenius was wrong and that only
