MAJOR JIMMY
 DOOLITTLE TO TRY IT AGAIN
Went Up Yesterday and Over 293 Miles an Hour But It Was Not Called Official Test

Cleveland, Sept 1-UP)-Ma- jor James H. Doolittle, who set an unofficial worlds land plane speed record with an average speed of 203.193 miles an hour yesterday, planned to take his stubby red and white Gee Bee racer aloft to-day for an official record.
 Doolittles mark failed to meet official standards although he streaked through the air at a speed 15 miles an hour better than the present record. His plane was not equipped with a barograph,, nor was there another plane aloft to take altitude and dive heights, as the rules demanded.
 The famous racing pilot rocketed around the 3-kilometer course yes- terday in his record-smashing flight in order to qualify for the Thompson trophy race on Labor day. Three other flyers have met the 200-mile per hour standard set for uualifiers. They are Bill Long, Robert Hall and Ben Howard.
 Doolittle flew the first lap at 294.462 miles per hour, made the second lap in 296.15t miles per hour, 29O.259 in the third and 291.90O in the fourth and, final lap. The present record of 278.48 miles per hour was set by Warrant Off, cer Bonnet, at Estres, France, in 1924. '
 Doolittle expressed disappoint- ment over failure of officials to attend to details of recording the speed"
 Tt is their business, not mine, :" he said. II am the pilot. I have all I can do attending to the ship and its flying" h..
 His attempt on the record to- day may bring even higher speeds, Doolittle predicted. T can do 10 or 16 miles per hour better" he said. ,E
 In the feature speed event of the program yesterday, Ray Moore of Alameda, Calf, raced around 16 laps of a five4mile course to win the $2,500 Frank Phillips trophy race. Moore averaged 182.220 miles per. hour. Howard was sec- and and Roy Liggett of Wichitka, Kans, was third. es,
 Charles E.. Smith of Cleveland, won the Great Lakes aircraft race for the Charles E. Barnet trophy. An unannounced derby, starting from Hemlock, N. Y., finished with R. P. Hylan, New York, lead ing field of six upstate New York flyers. '.-. et.e ..

GAR WOOD AND KAYE DON MAKE
 READY FOR RACE
Speedboats Kings of U. s. and England Will Defy Death in Their Battle on Saturday

Detroit,e Sept l. (UP)- Kay Don, English challenger for the Hamsworth trophy, and Gar Wood, American defender, plan only easy test runs before they roar over the starting line Saturday in what may be the greatest display of competi- tive speed on water ever seen.
 Don's trim hydroplane, the white Iulled Miss England III, successor to Miss England II which turned over last year, has been taken over the seven mile course in Lake St Clair a few times by Don. He shot her along at speeds estimated as high as 115 miles an hour for short stretches. Wood has not yet had his new creation, Miss .Ameri- ca x, on the course, but expects to give her a test today or tomor- row.
 Both men are satisfied with their boats. The Miss England holds the world record at 119.81 miles an hour. Only Wood and few close associates know the speed of his boat. Wood has refused to dis cuss her probable speed.
 Woods craft has the greater power, it's four 12 cylinder Packard engines developing 6,4O0 horse power supplied by Don's lls-Royce motors. The power of either is greater than that developed by locomotive en- zines on crack runs.

Eyes of practically every Water burian turned skyward yesterday afternoon for the purpose of ob- taining a glimpse of the eclipse. Howe yeI, cloudy skies served to hamper local observation and only for very short periods of time was the heavenly show visible to local residents.
 Hundreds filled the roofs of off, fice> buildings and residences to get an unobstructed view of the eclipse while others gazed from windows, verandas and the streets.
 Local stores did a good business in colored glasses as hundreds made sure to equip themselves with the necessities of an eclipse gazing program. But their efforts were almost in vain. For short in- tervals the sun peeked through the haze but on the whole there was
