appeared to hinge today on Jack

agreed on practically all details of
the proposed bout except the mat
ter of the third man in the ring
during a prolonged conference here
yesterday and last night.
Kearns' final" offer was that
Lieutenant Jack Kennedy be nam
ed referee, with Larry McGrath as
alternate, and that Fields receive
the first s35, 1000 of the gate" after
$1,000 for promotional expenses
has been deducted. Both Kenneth
and McGrath live in Los Angeles.
White agreed to Fields share OF
the purse, but baked at accepting
McGrath. He accepted Kennedy.

ON
SPORT WORLD
By HENRY McLEMORE
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-Of the
five men who have travelled 200
miles per hour or more in a rae
ing automobile, but one remains.
He is Sir Malcolm Campbell. Un-
daunted by the fate of Seagraves,
Lockhart, Keech and Bible, he sails
for these parts next Wednesday
and another joust with death.
His car, the 1000 pound Bluebird,
is already on the high seas. In it,
the slight, 48 year old Scotchman
hopes to rocket down Daytona S
wave-packed sands at 300 miles
per hour, some 40 odd miles faster
than the worlds mark he hung up
! last year.
What manner of man is this
Campbell, who likes to play at a
game where one mistake means
death? Is speed and more speed
his only passion? No, but it comes
first in his life. Ever since that
| day, when, at the tender age of
II, he was arrested for pumping
a bicycle at the breathless rate of
/ 81 miles per hour, Sir Malcolm's
life and a large share of his $780,
900 inheritance, have been devoted
to speed
| He's tried most all of the means
of rapid transportation, car, boat
and plane, Few are the decent
"straightaways" in the world that
haven't felt the flying wheels OF
his car, Daytona, Verneuk PAX in
South Africa, BrooklandS and sc
Mile Beach in Australia. Broken
axles, flat tires and locked wheels
at speeds of 100 m. p. h., or better
have offered Sir Malcolm more
than one opportunity to brush
hands with death. ....
Yet here he is, nearing SO, COM
ing back for another shot. ''
ST have no fear" he once said
"I am a fatalist. believe I'm 60
ing when my time comes, and no
! sooner. Whether my time will come
in an automobile or when I'm bowl
ing on the green. l don't know. And
I don't worry about it"
Normally a very CHEEKY, clipper
person, Sir Malcolm, before race
becomes gloomy, irascible. His chief
| diversion during the days of wait
ing for a second run is checkers
Checkers, and hunting up sooth-
sayers and fortune tellers. The lit
tie Scotchman is profoundly sup
erstitious and a great believer in
crystal balls, star-gazing and palm
reading.
During those few months of the
year when his mind is not occu-
pied by cars and motors, Sir NAL
colin goes in for yachting, the
raising of fierce AlSatian dogs
1.-TWO or three of them always sleep
just outside his bedroom ano
treasure hunts in the Cocos Is
lands, off the west coast of Africa
Three years ago he spent a month
at Cocos Island, where S12,000,00C
was supposed to have been laio
down in 1921. He didn't locate the
treasure troye, but he insists it's
there.
Sir Malcolm has $4,000 worth OF
loving cups. His car was named
after a play by the same name
There's always horseshoe in the
cockpit. He broke his first worlds

CHAMBER To
BUILD HOME

BY a resolution passed on a
three to two vote of the city coup-
Gil Wednesday night, the Ell Cen
tro Chamber of Commerce today
had obtained permission and was
laying further plans to purchase
a lot on State street, west Of the
telephone building, and to pro-
ceed with construction of a build
ing for chamber of commerce pur-
poses.
Representatives of the chamber
presented a plan Wednesday night
whereby the organization, from a
fund of approximately $4,000 now
on hand, would purchase the lot
and erect a building.
After considerable discussion
members of the council adopted a
resolution approving the plan and
authorizing the chamber to proceed
with construction of the building
within resources of the organiza-
ton and without additional ex-
pense to taxpayers. Charles An
derson, H. w. Fawcett and John
Rice voted favorably, with A. N
Bucklin and Fred Gianola oppos-
ing the project.
It was explained that the cost
of the lot and building will be met
by funds which the chamber has
had on deposit for such purpose
for several years and that none OF
the money will come from funds
received by the chamber from the
city.
Representatives of the chamber
at the meeting were Robert Hays
w. A. Tondro, Harold and John
Tyler, w. A. Scheniman and DR.
Sem Bacon. t-
Other business transacted by the
council was of routine nature.

While the Class c team was

yesterday afternoon, the FL Centro
Class A team was drubbing the
Holtville Glass A team 26 to Is. to
make 1t a unanimous victory for

the Glass C team in final ratings.
especially since the locals are IA
vored to take both contests.
Dyer proved to be the shining
star of yesterdays battle, amass-
ing 10 points for FL Centre. Lee
was a big factor on the defense.
Rogers, with seven points, and
Cornett, with his good floor work.

The Class A Battle was nip and
tuck throughout the first half,
which ended with Ei Centro lead
ing II to 10. The game was rough.
Eighteen fouls were called on Ell
Centre and II on Holtville. Berry
and Couch of FL Centre and Walk
er and Broderick of Holtville were
ousted because of fouls.
Kirkpatrick and Couch on de-
fense and Cato on offense were
best for Ell Centro Broderick and

staff busy at Calexico and Ell Cen

tributing to the delinquency of a

INDOOR MEETS
TO BE HELPED
BY DEPRESSION
BY JACK CUDDY
United Press Staff Correspondent

united Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-Stimulat-
ed by the depression, the 1888 pro-
gram of indoor track and field
competition will be the most elab-
crate in years, Daniel j. Ferris, sec
retary of the National Amateur
Athletic union, announced today.
More than 80 important indoor
meets will be held within the next
three months in New York, Phil
adelptia, Boston, Chicago, Cleve,
land, New Orleans, Hamilton,
fOnt) New Haven. Albany, and
other cities, Ferris said.
Fields will be larger and COM
petition keener. Many United
States Olympic stars and few
foreign athletes will compete. Many
games will be held under the re-
Gently adopted metric system of
measurements, and in these COM
petitions new world records are ex-
pected, particularly in running ev-
ents below the 1900 meter dis
tance.
THE depression has stimulated
interest in indoor track and field
competitor because other athletics
have been curtailed," Ferris ex-
planned. Unemployment and part
time employment have given many
athletes more time to train and
have afforded the public more time
10 follow these sports which were
brought to it's attention SO compel
lingly by the Los Angeles Olympic
games last summer"
Ferris expressed confidence that
several of the more important
games would attract large crowds
because of the class of athletes
entered and the promise of top
notch competition. This will be true
particularly in the sprints and the
mile or 1900 meter events. More
over, prices for virtually all meets
have been reduced.
