Amateurs Surpass
Pros at OutbOard
Came, Say Records
Had Little Chance Two
Years Ago Against
Paid Pilots.

CHICAGO, August 12-The anna
teurs are staging a comeback in
the outboard speedboat racing
game to such an extent that together
with a new crop Of youngsters pro-
duced this year, the simon pures prac-
tically are dominating the sport In the
1888 offensive.
Two years ago the professionals ruled
the record charts with ruthless hand
and there were few Division I, or anna
teur pilots who could approach either
their speed or driving skill on the
racing course. The professional ranks
however. have dwindled to handful of
outstanding stars and the amateur field
has increased to such an extent that
in the East, especially. the Division I
drivers are providing the bulk of en-
tertainment with the keenest competi-
ton and more sensational driving at
this summers regattas.
Only six new speed records have been
turned in so far this season and anna
teurs have hung up five of them. The
Division 1 marks now have been boost
ed to within q few tenths of the pro-
fessional records in practically every
class and have reached the point where
any further increase will push them
ahead of the, Division II speeds.
TWO amateurs, Tommy Tyson of
i Philadelphia and Clifton Thomp-
son of Suffolk, Va, have con-
tributed the only two new one-mile
records this year. and In the amateur
five-mile competition column Horace
Tennes of Chicago, and then James
Nunneley Of Detroit. increased the Glass
F record. Nunneley's Glass F mark of
50.308 miles an hour. which superseded
Tennes' record. closely approaches the
professional all-time high-competition
speed Of 50.7 m. p. h.
Nunneley also holds the highest
amateur one-mile record Of 8489 miles
an hour in Glass F, compared with the
Division II mark of 5891. Mrs. Set
Rutland of Alhambra, Calf, the only
woman record holder, set the other
amateur mark in competition and Phil
Raber of Los Angeles contributed the
lone professional record established so
far this season.

The last two years have been excep-

Woods downfall together with the per-
sistent challenger's bugaboo. Kaye Don,
driving Miss England II, won the first
race from Wood, the only one the

trophy to the United States. In the
second, however, Miss England II over

Last year Don. driving Miss England

Wood. but mechanical difficulties put
him out Of the running before the end

trophy goes to the country which

imperialism.
The Nazis had declared their readi-
ness to abandon their demand for
arms equality and revision OF the
Versailles pact in exchange for this
concession. The short term stipula-
ton would allow the constant train
ing OF new NaM troops. French inn
perialasrn is bitterly opposed to any
proposals which would put Germany

for war France" he stated, ''l1as
the MOST modern fertilization and
most modern equipment" and ''can

Worlds Richest Iron Deposits
Magstogorsk was a high snow

it was something more: it was three

First Of all, since this is the coun-

no selfish capitalist interests stand
in the way, Magnitogorsk is init

1900 miles to the East. Kuznetz is
primarily a coal field, but it has steel
mills. Coal comes pounding along a
railroad that Is already partially
double tracked and will soon be COM
pletely doubled. Passenger trains, in
Guiding ours, take to a siding when a
coal train wants to pass. The coal is
cooked at Magnitogorsk. and iron is
smelted. Two-thirds OF the pig iron
goes liquid and red hot into the open
hearths Of Magnitogorsk, third
goes into the coal cars and with them
back to Kuznetz, to. be made into
steel there. That means the cars
never go empty.

Chinese Red Army
In Advance Into

SHANGHAI, Dec. 20.-The Marking
government yesterday Communicated
all the motor buseS in Chekiang for
troop transportation, following reports
by Marking scouting planes that the
Chinese Red Army was advancing into
Chekiang Province. The scouts also
reported an advance by the Nine
tenth Route Army of the Fukien
secessionist regime into Chekiang
Province.
A Marking spokesman at the same
time claimed the capture Of Kwang-
cheh in Northedn Fukien, near the
Kiangsi border, which was long held
by the Red Army, and the recapture
from the Red Army In SzechWan
Province Of two towns, Suiting and
Suanhan. Little credence is given
these reports here, as it lis believed
they are intended to bolster up the
tottering prestige Of the Marking re-
gine. Similar claims of "overwhelm-
ing" victories against the Red Army
in Kiangsi Province, were proven false
this week by foreigners passing
through the province, who reported
great gains for the Chinese Red Army
against the Marking Sixth offensive.
The Tibetan armies in Western

imperialists to gain control OF the
