CAMPBELL To
SEEK RECORD

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla, Feb. l,
U.P)-When Sir Malcolm Campbell
British racing driver, arrives here
tonight he will fine his record
shattering Bluebird automobile
partially assembled for new speed
tests along Daytona's white coral
sands.
Sir Malcolm's six mechanics
who came here a couple of days
ago with the Bluebird in crates,
are putting together the revamped
monster which bulleted over the
beach last year at 253.968 miles an
hour, a new land speed record.
With good weather and an ex-
cellent beach a week or so hence,
the mechanics believe, Sir Malcolm
may achieve close to 800 miles an
hour because of the additional
speed built into the machine.
The record attempts probab-
will be made between February 8
and 20 over a wider beach than
has ever been offered here before.
Between these dates the full moon
causes the lowest tides, leaving
more beach space. and northeasters
will pound the beach hard.
The attempts will be made at low
tide, between noon and p. m. The
court will vary in width from 300
to 500 feet, stretching north and
south like smooth, white pave
ment. Moisture from the sand ell
inmates largely the hazard of rip
ping tires.

COMMENT ON
SPORT WORLD
BY HENRY McLEMoRE
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Feb. I.-Thomas
(Seaman) Watson, British feather
weight, who embarrassed New York
boxing critics by kicking the day.
lights out of Fidel La Barba last
week. was safe aboard the S. S.
Europa today after most narrow
escape.
Seaman doesn't know it, but had
he stopped to get shine enroute
to the pier last night, he would be
stuffed and mounted. by now, and
on his way to the Smithsonian In
stitute in Washington. We are in a
position to know Smithsonian Of
ficialS were interested in his pelt
the second they heard that he, a
British fighter, had come up fight
ing after a knockdown. And that
this interest became so great when
they learned Seaman had refused
to stay in this country for a cham
pionship bout solely because he
wanted to keep his word that they
dispatched two agents to secure
him.
Our operative reports the Smith
sonian planned to award Seaman's
pelt the place of honor, spot di-
rectly between Nero's fiddle and
the original Mutt and Jeff cartoon,
and dead in the center of the exhi-
bition hall.
Personally, we believe Seaman
worthy of just such a spot. For in
this day of chiseling, conniving,
double crossing and throat cutting,
not to mention muscling in, muse
ling out and stabbing in the back,
Seaman's performance is so amaz-
ing that it is almost unbelievable.
Just in cast you don't know what
Seaman did, here's brief review.
Rejects Offers
When Seaman whipped La Bar
ba he established himself not
only a first class fighting man,
but what is more important, a first
class drawing card. The day fol-
lowing the fight James ]. (Wise
Guy Johnston called Seaman into
conference and, on behalf of Madi-
son Square garden, offered him a
shot at Kid Chocolate and the
featherweight championship.
And if Chocolate gets kept out
of this country on this moral tur-
pentine business" johnson told
Seaman, "You can have a crack at
Tony Canzoneri's lightweight title" !"
Now Seaman's purse against
Chocolate or Canzoneri would be
something like $4,000. But did he
say yes? He did not. He said nc" ;"
He told Johnston he had to be-
getting off to England. And right
away. Pressed for reason, Seaman
gave two. First, the pub where he
is employed granted him only a
three weeks leave of absence. Told
the pub would probably be glad to
extend his stay, Seaman said, "Yes,
but that would obligate me, and 1
don't want to be obligated to any
blighter."
Reason No. 2, and if this doesn't
make Seaman as rare as a square
dodo egg we're crazy, was that sew
eral months ago he had given his
word to box one Young Benny
Sharkey at Newcastle = On Tyne
early in February. And man
must keep his word, you know
So last night he sailed.

Little Pancho established himself
as a favorite in local fistic circles
last night when he hammered out
a 10-round victory over Bobby
Leitham, kingpin of Canadian ban
tamweights, at the Olympic.
The little Filipino, a brother of
the late Pancho Villa, survived a
last minute onslaught by Leitham
to gain the decision by a wide
margin. But in the tenth, he was
almost knocked out by the Canad-
ian's vicious attack to the chin.
, Only a handful of fans was on
hand to see the two fighters make
their local debut. Leitham'S tim
ing was poor, especially in the ear
ly rounds when he missed frequent
ly. On the other hand, Pancho
scored repeatedly, taking seven
rounds to two for the Montreal
youngster.
Leitham weighed 118 and Pan

1O-Cent Cotton One of Factors in

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ATLANTA, Ga, July 8.-In Georeia
Industrial recovery is in full swing from
where President Roosevelt said it Should
start-the very base Of the economic
system. :
The farmers are feeling it first. While
the actuality of 10-cent cotton has
meant nothing, except in sporadic and
exceptional cases where growers pre-
ferred last Fall to hold rather than ac-
cept or cents, the prospect of the
maintenance OF the price by Govern
ment aid indicates doubling of income
on Georgia farms this Fall over the
low Of the last selling season.
Ten-cent cotton would not be profit
able by old standards, but abnormal
conditions prevail. The cost of produc-
ton will be the lowest the St4Ie has
known since 1893-94. Commercial fer
tilizer has been bought sparingly, II at
all, the farmers depending this year on
:traordinary tilth and hoping for a
continuance Of the fairly favorable
growing season. Little or no poisoning
Of the boil weevil will be done. Thus
Two major costs Of cotton production
have been almost wholly eliminated
this year.
Georgia's growers will make money If
the basic price remains at present level
through the Fail. They will make
enough to pay their past due taxes,
amortize their debts to some extent and
become once again purchasers of goods.
