COMMENT ON
SPORT WORLD
BY HENRY McLEMoRE

3 JFlted Press Staff Correspondent
/ DAYTONA BEACH, Fla, Feb
/ 23.-Until yesterday we were OF the
opinion that your football filbert,
with his willingness to sit through
rain, snow. Sleet and han TO watch
his favored eleven in action. was
the choicest nuts in the sports or
chard.
But that was yesterday. before
we got a closeup of the speed
trial bug and the discomforts and
near-dargerS he goes through to
watch drama in which the cur
tain is raised and lowered in al
most the twinkling of an eye.
To watch a speed trial such as
Sir Malcolm Campbell put on yes
terday, you must perch yourself on
dune. And that's not as easy as
il sounds. To reach dune, that is
dune which is close enough to
the beach to command a sweeping
view OF the proceedings, one must
make a trek worthy of a Living
stone. One must beat his way from
the road through cactus, paw palm
ettoS, and sandspurs. Especially
sandspurs, those spiny little burrs
taught from childhood to attack
the human ankle at sight.
And ones troubles are not over
when a dune is reached. For a
dune, despite its romantic sound,
is nothing more than a big dirty
sandpile located in such a position
that the sun beats directly down
upon its peak, that is until speed
trial bug arrives. Then the sun
leaves the dune alone and concen-
trates on the head of the bug. In
a normal dune there are usually
100000 grains of sand. These
grains are competitive fellows, and
always put up tremendous bat
tie to see if they can't beat their
brothers down the neck and into
the shoes and mouth of the bug.
No Comfort At ALI
There is no use trying to make
stay on a dune pleasant by play
ing bridge. knitting. or reading a
novel, Dune perchers always try
to Improve their stays by such
items, but it never works. You no
more than get a good hand than
a sudden gust of wind blows the
cards away. And if you're knit
ting, the same gust is likely to so
entangle your yarn that what you
planned as sleeveless sweater turns
out to be a pair of mittens.
While dune-perching is miserable
sport for anyone, it's doubly bad
On married men and triply on mar
ried men who have families. Child
rem on a dune means half dozen
trips to the nearest concession
shed, for such things as water, ice
cream, more water, and more ice
cream. The worlds record for a
child going without water or.
dune was hung up by little Enoch
Van Buren,, 3. in 1929, when Sir
Henry Segrave became the first
man to travel 200 miles an hour on
land Enoch held out II minutes
tefore sending Mister Van Buren
plunging into the rattlesnake-in-
tested underbrush.
That's all right, officer, III go
quietly.

mobile owners the Western Auto

HERVEY FLEYS
HEAVY BURDEN
OF TAXATION

AT a meeting presided over by
Walter D. Carey, county auditor,
Judge William Rhodes Hervey of
Los Angeles yesterday addressed
member of the El Centro Cham
Der of Commerce and visitors in at
tendance at the county auditors
and tax collectors convention at
the regular chamber luncheon on
the subject of taxation. Hervey
stated that citizens today are not
taking unselfish interest in civic,
county and national matters which
George Washington did and that,
if present conditions are to be
changed, more individual interest
must be taken in public affairs.
Taxation" he states, lis the
leading matter for thought and
conversation on the part of the
American people today because the
burden of taxation is exceeding our
ability to pay. I am told that tax
alton this year will almost equal
the national income. For three
years we have had deflation and
depression. Individuals and busi-
ness concerns have deflated costs,
but the government has not been
able to do SO because, under the
present system, changes in gov
ernment operations are slow to ef-
feet. The movement for lower taxes
will be continued until the cost OF
government is deflated.'
Under the present system and
high taxes and deflated values, ac-
cording to the speaker, the man
who owns a piece Of property is
paying from the capital investment
for the privilege Of holding it in
his name. When the capital is used
to pay government costs, then the
government owns the property and
We are tying up the sources of
taxation. England for four or five
years has been running on capital
wealth and the same thing is true
in the United States.
Our people have been almost
fanatical in regard to school build
ings and operation, Judge Hervey
stated. Education should teach how
to think straight and certain fun

CORBETT WINS WELTER TITLE
BY DECISION OVER FIELDS

than Fields. A mighty roar from
the crowd approved the decision.
His victory eliminated five years
OF fruitless challenging of cham
pions. He had not 1ost a fight in
that period.
Had either fighter a Knockout
punch in his makeup, the fight
would not have gone 10 rounds.
Corbett, i'll particular. landed many
blows that. backed by a stiffer
punch. might have ended the battle.
There were no knock downs.
Fields received 100000, the big
end of the purse. The promoters
and Corbett split the remainder of
the s5o,oO0 gate.
Jack Dempsey's appearance in
the ring just before the fight Gre
ated almost as much interest as
the fight itself. The old Manassa
Maule- ignored Jack Kearns, his
former manager and present ham
dler of Fields, as he shook hands
with the TWO contestants. KeacnS
lounged over the ropes, looking the
other way.

our children tap dancing, music
appreciation and many other sub
iects which amuse and entertain
them, but do not fit them for life.
The speaker stated, "in our sys-
TEN of education we have shielded
our children from facing facts
which would fit them for life and
we have turned out lost genera
ton who are willing to work but
find no jobs open because of pre-
sent economic conditions. Califor-
MIA objects to cutting the cost OF
education but what are we going
to do when the taxes are not
paidp There is no use educating a
child and letting it go hungry and
barefooted."

NPbELL NOT
To TRY AGAIN

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla, Feb.
%. U.P-Though thoroughly dis
satisfied with the new worlds land
speed record of 272.108 miles an
hour he established yesterday in
the maddest, most breath-taking
ride Daytona's speedway has seen,
Sir Malcolm Campbell will not try
to improve the mark this year.
Any running he does before he
returns to England on the Aquita-
mia, March 2, will be from a stand
ing start. And he isn't at all sure
he will take a shot at even this
comparatively tame record of 1907
m. p. h., which is now held by a
countryrnan, Kaye Don.
Whether I run any more de-
pends on how my injured wrist
comes around, how the car shapes
up after thorough inspection, and
how the beach looks the next few
days." the British driving ace said
today.
Naturally, I would like to try to
raise the mark I made yesterday,
but with the racing strip as it is,
I'd be foolish. I wouldn't have a
hope of improving it by more than
a few miles, and I'd ruin the great
est car in the world. Another trip
over that beach as it now stands
and Bluebird, stout old girl that
she is, would be shaken to pieces" "

wondered how they would greet her

would have to face.
Ewes tfepidation increased later
when she entered the store. Mr.
Barnes Rad given her permission
to arrive late. inasmuch as her
train did not reach Lake City until
10 o'clock. A throng Of after-the-
holiday shoppers already was en'
gaging the attentiOn of the clerks.
but Eve felt all eyes focused Oh
herself. She nodded to several ac-
cuaintanccs as she hurried along
