uary % (P.-Fate has been
~ kind to Sir Malcolm Camp
bell. who comes back from
England seeking to break his own
world automobile speed record Of 253
miles an hour.
For nearly quarter of century,
this 40year-old Briton has ben blaz-
ing sensational racing history down the
rugged, roaring road, flirting with death
for the thrill of the sport and worship
ing the Goddess of Luck, who still rides
with him.
Throughout his long and colorful
career, Campbell has taken the breaks
as he found then-a victory here, a
close call there-its all in the game
and he likes it!
Still in his prime at an age when
most race car drivers have laid aside
their iron steedS for less exciting pur-
suits this intrepid veteran shows no
outward fear of danger. He's hard
ened fatalist, and admist it.
I would chuck it ALL" Campbell
once said, If ever got to feeling the
least bit fearful about the dangers in
herent to racing. Naturally, I hope I
don't meet with disaster, but there is
always that possibility. don't let my
self think about it, though"
During his career Campbell has had
numerous miraculous escapes and has
seen many of the worlds most daring
pilots crash to death-some while in
actual competition with him.
Today he remains the only one alive
OF the five men who have gained ad-
mission to that mythical legion of race
car drivers who have attained the
superspeed OF 200 or more miles an
hour on American soil.
Sir Henry Segrave of England, the
greatest rival Campbell ever had, was
the first to attain those lofty heights,
and was one of the first of the quintet
to meet his end. He was killed in a
motor boat accident on Lake Winde-
mere, England. after hanging up new
water record of SO miles an hour.
Becoming interested in motor boat
racing, Segrave had retired from auto
mobile competition after setting previ-
GUS land records of 203 and 23l miles
an hour. His death removed one of
the worlds most colorful drivers from
the racing realm.
Other members Of the quintet who
sacrificed their lives for the advance
ment Of speed were Frank Lockhart and
Ray Keech, two of Americas premier
drivers, and Lee Bible, a comparative
novice at automobile racing.

ILLINOIS ASSURED
OF HONEST REIGN
New Commission win Seek
Big Bout for Progress
Exposition.
BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

)HICAGO, January 28.-If
I Packey Mcfarland Is one
~ half as good a boxing
commissioner as he was a
boxer the fight game in Illinois
will enjoy better days. In his day
Mcfarland was one of the best
boxers in the game and while
never champion he met prac-
tically all of the top-notchers of
the lighter classes without any
great damage to his own reputa-
ton. Now Mcfarland faces the
task of keeping boxing in Illinois
on an even keel.
Packey is the first of Gov. Horners
appointments to the Illinois State Box
ing Commission and general opinion Is
that better man could not be found.
Although he retired from the ring in
1915, Mcfarland never has lost his in
terest IN the game that laid the tounda-
ton for his now comfortable fortune.
Honest and respected in his days as a
hghter, he starts with the confidence
OF the fans while boxers and others
connected With the sport quickly will
realize he Is man who quickly will
call the hands of any slick dealers.
MYTH McFarlands appointment con-
w flrmed by Gov. Horner it is be-
IleVed the second appointment to
the commission will fall to Joe Triner,
Chicago business man. who is box
ing fan of long standing. George Getz,
the nationally known sportsman, is ex-
pected to hold his position on the COM
mission for the coming year at least.
Gen. John V. Clinnin, who has done
spIendld work on the Illinois commits
sion is expected to receive an appoint
ment to another department in the
State government.
One of the most important tasks
facing the new commission is the secur-
ing Of heavyweight bout of champion
ship proportions for Chicago this Sum-
mer as feature Of the Century Of
Progress Exposition. A bout between
Max Schmeling and Max Baer is the
goal Of the Illinois commission, and
with Getz as the leader in the canvass
for that battle it is believed the chances
OF it coming to the Lake Michigan
front are very good. Getz was one of
the men most instrumental in bringing
the Tunney-Dempsey bout to Chicago,
and in his effort to land the Schmeling-
Baer bout he has the support of some
Of this city's leading business men.
IF unable to land the Schmeling- -Baer
i bout the Chicagoans will turn their
attention to securing the champion
ship battle between Jack Sharkev and
whatever opponent NAV be nominated
to oppose him for late Summer fight
here.
Mcfarland and Triner are fortunate
in stepping into positions that have
been competently filled for the last four
wears. Gen. John Clinnin and Fred
Gardner along with Getz have main
tanned Illinois boxing in healthy con.
dition and there will be little for the
new commissioners to undo when they
| step into office. Clinnin as president
of the National Boxing Association, also
made manv valuable contributions and
his nassing from the game Is to be
regretted even though he is to be sue
ceeeod by capable men.
