DAYTONA BEACH, Fla, Feb. 1C
Hundreds of men have driven
their tiny roaring machines around
the red brick track of the Indian
apolis speedway since Inauguration
OF the 500 mile speed classic, but
how many Of them possessed the
combination OF skill and daring
that makes for great drivers2
just ten. That's the opinion of
T. E. CPop) Myers Pop ought to
know, for in his position as vice
president and general manager of
the speedway, he has seen them
come and go for % years. Pop, here
to serve as official referee for Sir
Malcolm Campbell's attacks on the
land speed record, says that
Joe Dawson, Frank Lockhart, jim
my Murphy, Tommy Milton, Harry
Hartz, Peter De Paolo, Fred Frame,
Bob Carey, Ralph De Palma and
Billy Arnold are the only men he
has seen whirl around the speed
way that he would classify as
kingpin drivers.
The order in which the men are
listed means nothing. We asked
Pop TO rate them in order, TO tell
us the outstanding pilot among
the ten.
Couldn't do it," he said. THAT
would be impossible, for not two
of them drove alike.
Some say Lockhart, who came
out of the west in 1926 so unknown
that the gatekeeper refused him ad-
mittance TO the grounds, and who
won the race that year, was the
greatest driver America ever pro-
duced. But was he? Did he have
anything on Jimmy Murphy? Muir
ply lacked the showmanship OF
the flaming Californian, but he
knew more about the handling OF
a car, had more fineSse.
And how about Tommy Milton
and Joe Dawson? You couldn't very
well overlook Milton, the only man
who has scored two victories in
the 500 mile grind. Like Murphy,
Tommy wasn't very spectacular,
but how that boy could nurse a
car along. I guess he could get

Even money. Why you could get
better than that on a soldier going
off to war, man on trial for
murder. But it must be about the
right figure, for Sir Malcolm, who
ought to know. agrees with it,
Asked what he thought of his
chances of finishing in one-piece,
the 4S-year-old driver smiled, and
snapped his thumb as though to
flip a coin in the air. To him it's
an even money proposition, heads

Will Not Quit
If the chances against him are
so great why doesn't he quit the
game before his luck runs out?
Why doesn't he. at an age when
most men are interested in the
comforts of life, retire to his eS-
tate in England and there continue
his more serene hobbies of COL
lecting antique furniture. breeding

hunting buried treasure? He could
afford to, you know, having in
herited something like two million
dollars from his father.
There is only one answer to why
he doesn't quit the most dangerous
game of them all, and Harry Leech,
one of his mechanics, gave it the
other day.
"Racing's in the skipper's blood"
Harry said. "He can't quit it.
You ought to see his eyes light
up when he hears the bloody roar
of Bluebird's motor and gets a
whiff of the burning castor oil
which is her own special brand of

A|RMA|L GETS
80 DAYS TRIAL

Postal officials in El Centro and
San Diego this morning received
word from the government that air
mail service between San Diego
and Phoenix via Ell Centro is to
continue through February.
Great confusion resulted this
week after instructions were re-
ceived from San Francisco and Los
Angeles that the line was to be
discontinued February 10. Con-
gresham Phil D. Swing previously
had telegraphed he was successful
in obtaining a 30-day extension of
service.

the areas most directly affected by
the discontinuance of service fin
ally brought clarity to the situa-
ton.
c. c. jenkins, local postmaster,
said air mail from the valley had
increased 25 per cent following in
itiation of a campaign to induce
residents to avail themselves of the
conveniences of direct air mail
which was obtained for this section
after months of effort.

more money than any of the other
drivers.
Harry always shot for the money
Not the records. If he knew he
could be sure of second or third

Pop awarded Fred Frame his
place largely because of his feat
of winning the 1882 race despite
six or seven trips to the pit.
Pop believes that Bob Carey, 1882
A. A. A. champion, and not Billy
Arnold, 1890, is the brightest pros

Carey" Pop said has every
thing. He's just as heavy footed as
Arnold and he seems to have a

1t was Arnold, you remember,
who threw away his chances of
victory in 1881 and 1882 by refus-

BOUT TONIGHT
NOT So GOOD
By JACK CuDDY


United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT
| NEW YORK, Feb. 1O.-Tonight',
l5-round bout between Primo Car
nera and Ernie Schaaf has crystal
lied into a somewhat odorous mys-
terry battle with mess of sinis-
ter rumors and lily-white state
mentS.
Boxing writer's and fans in gen.
eral believe there's some exaggera-
ton in Madison Square gardens
statements that it is intended as
q test to determine a title oppon-
ent for Heavyweight Champion
Jack Sharkey in June.
A sell-out crowd of 2l.000 fans
is expected at the garden.
Schaaf. the blond Bostonian. had
been installed a to favorite to
win because of his remarkable
comeback in beating King Levin
sky and knocking out Unknown
Winston and Stanley Poreda. But
the latest reports had the wise
money" making Camera the fav-
critic with final odds of about 7 to
5 indicated. The massive "poosh-
pooSh" man from MusSolini- land
will outweight Ernie 262 pounds to
2l0, but everyone knew that when
the match was made.
This shift in odds occurred after
the garden yesterday signed Car
nera TO a laSt-minute contract to
oppose Sharkey on or before June
80. No new contract was made with
Schaaf.
One of the many unfortunate
angles to this bout is that either
Schaaf or Camera Will be a Sec
ond-fiddler challenger. The garden
was forced into the Schaaf-Poreda
and Schaaf-Carnera eliminations
for a challenger when Jack Demp-
sey tied up the only two logical
contenders, Max Schmeling and
Make Baer.
Sharkey Won't Sell
Another unfortunate angle is
that Sharkey owns half of Schaaf's
contract. When the match was
made, Johnny Buckley, Schaafs
co-owner, announced that Shar-
key would sell part of the con-
tract if Ernie won. But when Jack
returned from a Bermuda yaca-
ton, he announced Indignantly he
would neither sell his share nor
fight Ernie for the title. He still
sticks to his statements, despite
the gardens continued reassur-
ances that the winner of tonight's
fight will meet the champion.
Even if Sharkey would fight
Schaaf, dwellers in Cauliflower Al
ley figure it would be very diff
cult to build up a title bout be-
tween a fighter and his boss.

Col. John Reed Fitzpatrick, the
new president, gloomily confessed
as much in an ingenious an
nouncement issued today with the
idea of appealing to the finer in
stincts of those who make their
living out of prize fighting.
I Judge the colonel feels that
these have never been appealed to
in just the proper spirit, so today
he has drafted list Of 20 fights
he would like to make and pro-
poses to set about making them or
tell the public exactly why he
can't.
Gardens Mistake
In at least one instance, I am
able to tell him why he can't al
ready. He can't arrange a fight
for Barney Ross, the lightweight
champion, because Ross once tried
to fight for the Garden and was
told to take ten per cent of the
first stairway to the left.
Without further reflection, the
young man hit the atmosphere
Ind, since winning the champion
ship and even before, has kept
plenty of it between himself and
Madison Square Garden.
The suddenly desirable Mr.. Ross
now figures very prominently in
the plans of the firm that once so
coldly spurned him. The pros
pectus for instance, calls for
"CanzonerA versus Chocolate,
The Washington times., 1933-08-23

Ross versus Chocolate, Ross versus
Cleto Locatelli, the Frenchman," "
etc., but then a prospectus by the
very nature of things never was
known to be a document OF dis
arming candor. In fact, it's only
another name for a very vivid
description by man who can't be
there about something that won't
happen.
Mentions All
So this one naturally mentions
McLarnin in connection with Pet
role, Van Klavern, Corbett and
Callahan, although James, too,
was permitted to go elsewhere to
win his championship and the
$4,000 price he placed on his
head was even invited to stay
there. And it calls attention to
the desirability of Schmeling with
Sharkey, with Patsy Perroni and
indeed Schmeling with Baer,
which is pretty good free style at
tention-calling, considering the
fact that of the two named for
this gripping counter, the
Garden can't expect to have
either.
However, the Colonel has the
right idea. These are all good
men. AS a matter of fact, they
even were good some time ago
when the Colonel'S firm first de-
cided to give them the back Of it's
