HOLDER OF RECORD FOR 300 METERS
 SIS SAYS EASTMAN SHOULD BETTER TIME

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Feb. 12. Emerson Bud" Spencer, Stan lords first great quarter-milsr, may as writer this summer record the shattering of his worlds record Of AT seconds for the 300 meters run.
 Spencer, who writes frequent articles on track and field now, will cover" the Olympic Games in Los Angeles, as well as various meets preceding the international classic
 Proportioned along the lines cf a football player, Spencer at his rac- ing peak weighed TO pounds, but in business life he has added some 20 pounds.
 The husky bespectacled chap has no desire to return to the cinder path. The daily routine of busi- ness life would not allow him time to train properly.
 Spencer has no delusions that the mark he cracked 12 years al- most to the day from the time it was set has any degree of perna- nency. He thinks Ben Eastman, rangy Stanford youth who last year tied the worlds 440 yard time, has a good chance to better beth the 400 meters and quarter mile rec ords.
 Eastman has all the qualifica- tions. He runs easily and his tim ing has improved He is poor starter, but this difficulty probably will be ironed out" he said.
 Spencer broke the record May l2, 1928, at Stanford stadium. The previous time was set by Ted Mere dith, May 27, 1916, at Cambridge, Mass.

BILLY ARNOLD
 10 COMPETE IN
 SPEED CLASSIC
Harry Hartz, Now Owner Enters Young Driver
 for Indiana Race

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. 12.-- Billy Arnold, baby faced racing sensation of 1880 when he was American champion as we'll as win ner of the Indianapolis 5o0-nils race, is the driver nominated to pilot the first car entered in next Mays annual International classic.
 This announcement was made by T. E. ("Pop') Myers, general man. ager of the Indianapolis track, wno received the entry blank from liar ry Hartz, former racing star who has turned team owner.
 Gave Him Chance
 It was Hartz who gave Arnold his big chance in 193o on a iron. wheel drive mount which Harry had built for himself and then de- cided that he would turn 1t over to a younger driver. He chose Ar mold, and the youngster romped to fame and some $100,000 in for tune.
 Last year Hartz entered the car which Billy drove. And it appeared until about twenty laps from the finish as though young Arnold would not only win the contest but be the second driver to win it twice and the first one to win it twice in succession.
 Ready To Go Now
 But while he was hurrying into the home stretch Arnold lost a rear wheel, and before the got the e under control, another car smacked into him and they all wound un in heap.
 Although not seriously injured Arnold spent several months in an Indianapolis hospital, and did his first driving in a race staged for motion pictures at the Indianapoli: speedway a few weeks ago. He is anxious to get to the track and start the long training grind that is before him.

BasebaIrs Reader Interest


 Baseball has come through all this cross-examination very well indeed, still the nations 70. l sport, and Abe Kemp is among the staunch supporters, because CD it has the longest schedule of any sport and interests fans in every small section and every cross roads of the United States; and CD the attendance at ball games, which has been on the decrease in the past three years, in no wise re- fleets the actual interest in the sport.
 ''As an illustration" Kemp adds:
 Tn 1921 T'y Cobb came to San Francisco to manage the San Fran cisco club in the then newly organ ized winter league. He brought his family with him and requested George Putnam, part owner of the Seals, to help him in finding a house.
 "The two men found a home that suited Cobb's every purpose and leased it from a kindly old woman on the sunny side of seven ty. When told that Cobb was leas- ing her home, she went into great details on his past records, his accomplishments. and cited in stances that amazed the great Peach until he said, Surely, you must never miss game
 On the contrary was the star ting answer, I have never seen a baseball game in my life, but I follow it religiously through the papers.

NEW YORK, Feb 12.-Francis Cuimet of Boston, national anna teur golf champion, recently ap- pointed captain of the 1892 United States Walker Cup team, is the only golfer in the United States or of the British Isles who has played in every team match be- tween the two countries, starting with the International contest at Holyoke in 1921, before G.

Charles w. Brown Rescued BY

BERLIN, Md, March q

Grove swamp, where his alb
ductors manacled him with
chains to a tree and left him
overnight, Charles W. Brown,

hunt for his kidnapers.
Near exhaustion from hunger
and exposure, Brown was saved
by Edward Taylor, farm hand,

chisel knocked off the fetters that
bound Brown by the arms, legs
and neck to the tree.
Kidnapped by Four
Brown told police he was way
laid and kidnapped by four masked
men last Tuesday at Evergreen
Woods.
Before he was bound, and blind
folded by the abductors, he said,
he fought with them and sue
ceeded in ripping off the mask of
one of his assailants. He declared
he recognized well-known citizen
of Worcester county.
Brown was taken to a cellar, he
said, where he was shackled to
ring bolts in the wall by heavy
chains.
Threatened His Child
Although his captors took $500
from him, they told him he would
not be freed unless he signed
two statements they had pre-
pared. They threatened to tie
him to a liquor still and blow
it up unless he agreed to sign.
The abductors also told Brown
his 9-year-old daughter would be
killed if he refused.
After several days he was taken
to the swamp and lashed to the
tree.
Police believed some agents OF
local enemy of Brown were re-
sponSible for the plot.

The income surtaxes up to IS
per cent, Mills told LaGuaFdia,
could not yield more than $132,-
100000 1.-The committees increase
of the corporation tax from IL
to 13 per cent would yield $685.
100000. leaving $912,OOO,OO still
to be raised. "
Enumerating LaGuardia's other
items, the Mills letter said that
his plan would be $530,000, 600
short of the amount needed. to
balance the budget.
Would Fall Short
The Treasury, Crisp said, fig
ures the Swing surtax amend
ment and the LaGuardia amend
ment, increasing from 6 to Z
per cent the normal tax on all
incomes above $4,000, could raise
only $30,000,000.
Elimination from the bill OF
the item allowing credit for for
eign taxes bring in practically
nothing, although some estimated
30,OO0,O00 or $50, 100000 would
be saved, based on 1929 business.
. Crisp said he would seek to
have the sales tax feature Of the
bill considered out Of order when
the bill is taken up again to-
morrow, but he was doubtful OF
the outcome. He said the temper
of the House was such that unani-
mos consent might be difficult to
attain.
. Will Seek Agreement
He will confer, however, with
opponents of the sales tax on
both sides of the house today in
an effort to reach an agreement.
He will call in LaGuardia Rep0,
Doughton CD of North Carolina,
and other leaders of the opposi-
ton.
The exemptions agreed upon by
the committee to be presented to
the House were radio wire service,
sprays for fruit trees, malt syrup
for baking purposes, grape juices
for non-alcoholic beverages, ice
cream and matted milk, lard and
lard substitutes and sauSages.
