OTHERS WOULD
AID CAMPbE

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla, Feb. 18.
U.P- Sir Malcolm Campbell is
corresponding with a few young,
ambitious and slightly nutty'
chaps who would like to show him
how to drive his record-shattering
Bluebird automobile.
Last year he sent the Bluebird
bulleting over the beach at a new
land speed record of 253.968 miles
an hour.
One or two of Sir Malcolm's cor
respondents have even come to
Daytona Beach to talk it over.
Some offered to hang up a new
record without pay; others would
do it for a slight consideration.
While waiting for his mechanics
to finish overhauling the long
stream-lined super-automobile, Sir
Malcolm answers the writers good
humoredly. He explains that while
they are probably better drivers, he
couldn't permit them to make a
new world mark in his car because
that would take the record away
from England.
Sir Malcolm plans test run on
the beach Sunday and a crack at
The record Monday.

AWAIT SCHAAF
DEATH VERDICT

NEW YORK, Feb. 18. U.p}-The
boxing world awaited with consid-
cradle curiosity today the "sensa-
tionar' announcement which DR..
Charles G.. Norris, chief medical
examiner, promised for Monday in
connection with Ernie Schaaf's
death.
1t was believed generally that it
would show Schaaf was i'll when
he entered the ring week ago for
the bout in which he was knock
ed out by Primo Camera.
In such case the district attor-
ney's investigation probably will
center on his co-managers, Jack
Sharkey, heavyweight champion,
and Johnny Buckley. DR.. Norris
preliminary statements indicated
that Schaaf's brain condition was
such that no blame could be fas-
tened on the boxing commissions
physician who examined him be-
fore the bout.
Meanwhile Madison Square gar
den announced boxing would be re-
sumed next Friday night with King
Levinsky, Chicago heavyweight,
meeting Johnny Risko, Cleveland
veteran, in the 10-round main
event. They were scheduled last
night, but the match was postponed
because of Schaafs death.

A free throw in the final hall min
ute of play enabled University of
Southern California to defeat CAL

ball championship of the southern
division of the Pacific Coast con-
ference here last night.
Seven thousand screaming spec
tators suddenly hushed and waited
with bated breath as Memo"
Neimer, Trojan forward, stepped
to the free throw line and con-
fidently tossed the gift shot that
broke a tie and gave Southern CAL
ifornia one of the hardest battled
cage games ever seen here.
Seconds later Bob Erskine, hefty
Trojan guard, fouled Hal Eifert,

ed the end OF the five-minute over
time period as Eifert attempted to
toss a free throw that would have

groan from the California stands.
Trailing at halftime, III, Cali

DAVID WINS OVER GERHARDT
IN TOP SPOT OF FINE CARD

Young David has taken in several
months.
The battle deserved the top spot
on a good card. Both fighters were
more than willing to stir up ring
trouble, giving all the appearance
of being right in the midst of a
terrible grudge against one an
other. Dayid's punching ability is
well known here. It went into full
eclipse before the powerful wallops
of the sailor.
Gerhardt scored a knockdown
with his first punch, as the fight
opened. The first round was fought
at a terrific pace. AS it closed Da-
vid evened matters by knocking
Gerhardt down for the count OF
seven.
In the ensuing rounGS Gerhardt
piled up lead in the number of
effective blows landed, but in al
most every round lost his lead by
slipping to the canvas, usually un-
der the power of his own misdi-
rected efforts. First he was a right
handed fighter, then a left wheel
er, and again he was neither. 1t
puzzled David, but in the end ii
worked against Gerhardt.

COMMENT ON
SPORT WORLD
BY GEORGE H. BEALE
United Press Staff Correspondent

OhHtcu ETeSS OIdII correspondent
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 18. - The
news from the east is that the
Chicago Cubs and the New York
Giants will board the same train
in the midwest Monday and, like
one big, happy family, will jour-
ney to their Southern California
spring training camps.
They may argue among them
selves a bit now and then about
the merits of a flush as against a
straight-providing they still go in
for such coarse games as poker
but otherwise everything will be
lovely and chummy.
And that offers a little some
thing for thought.
No sacrilege intended, but Frank
Leroy Chance must have kicked
the side of his coffin if he heard
of the baseball picnic.
And certainly John Joseph Nc
Graw hid his head in shame in
some of the upholstery of his vice
presidential office in New York.
Things were not always so six,
two and even among the Cubs and
Giants and Chance and McGraW,
their respective managers, saw to
it that they weren't.
Those two liked to battle and,
while they respected each other,
they fought, caused their players
to fight, and SO built one of the
finest feuds of major league base
ball.
If the old timers are to be be-
lieved, Chance started off each sea-
son by threatening to punch the
nose of any Cub who spoke any,
thing less than an insult to a
Giant.
! BY the same token, McGraw Of
fered bit of the inquisition to
any Giant who so much as acted
civilly toward a Cub.
These incentives probably were
not needed but anyway the play
! ers scrapped on and sometimes of
the ballfield.

so that a visiting Giant in Chicago

terest of getting jobs in the motor vehicle department have been told by him to get the endorsement of Town Chairman John H. Crary.
 Therefore, with this attitude be- ing taken, the local democratic machine will have several posi- tions to hand out, thereby strengthening the. organization for the city election this fall.
 Just what the new motor vehi- cles commissioner will do in the way of reorganizing the huge staff that has been functioning under republican rule for so many years Is not known definitely as yet. However. one of the main cries demanding the post was that 1t would help the party in the state as whole due to the great amount of patronage 1t would make possible. It is not denied by. the republicans that they have lost one of their most important patronage sources in the retire- mont of Motor Vehicles Commis- sioner Robbins B. Stoeckel.
 The staff in the local motor vehicle office consists of q number of girl clerks as well as two mon who conduct tests of would-be drivers. Needless to say, there will be an overwhelming amount of ap- plications for the posts, especially due to the depression.
 Also, 1t Is understood, Water bury Is to attempt to have a deputy commissionersh!p given to 1t. There are four deputies in the department and the salaries paid are exceptionally good ones.
