Then, leading with the left again, he steps directly for ward. The right foot swings in circular effect from the position number two to number four, and the left is drawn up to. it. He hesi- tates. Then he. steps forward with his right and hesitates again, al- lowing the body to pause in time to the music. The first three steps are done quickly, pausing on the third and on the sixth counts.

H. Dempsey smack through the ropes in the heavyweight fight of the century and the youthful George Herman Ruth made sucker out of MT. J. J. McGraw's world series strat- egy by simply belting the ball all over the premises.
 We're only galloplng past the halfway mark now but there has been a succession of gaudy episodes, scattered all the way from Colum- bias sensational Rose Bowl foot ball victory over Stanford on Janu- ary 1 to Carl Hubbell's magnificent pitching in the all-Star ball game.

By HENRY McLEMORE

LONDON, Aug. I6.-Until the Bluebird, it's mighty motors sing ing in the wind, sweeps him across the face of the earth at 300 miles an hour-five miles minute Sir Malcolm Campbell will refuse to listen to friends who want him to abandon racing.
 Britain's knight of speed did not tell me in so many words 300 miles an hour was his zeal, but during our talk in the great beamed libra " of Povey Cross, his lovely Eliz- abethan home in Surrey, he inti- mated as much.
 That's A "Nice Number"
 T know the risk I run every time I go," Campbell said. My chances of coming back in one piece are not better than fifty-fifty. And, frankly, I've thought about that. For no man has any more to live for than I have. But that's am- bition's curse, isn't it? I set my heart on a goal years ago, and must keep trying until I reach it. When I do I'll quit for good"
 "It's 300 you are after isn't it?" I asked
 Campbell smiled, then shook a disappearing finger.
 That's nice number, alright, but I mustn't tell you. But you know, we should have had 300 last year at Daytona. Conditions though, just wouldn't come around. I don't suppose I should complain, however, for do you remember that awful bit of shaking Bluebird did by the timing stand on the run down?"
 Yes, I did remember. I thought he was gone.
 "So did T." he said But the old girl pulled it out"

 She is the most successful wOm- an packer race courses have seen and travels far and wide to attend every important meeting.
 Old-timers say she is the heavi- est woman bettor within memory She frequently spreads as much as $15,000 among a row of bookmak- CTS on one race.
 Asked to explain her methods, she says: ''I am a practical wom- an and there is no nonsense about my way of betting, I study the horses and I have good advice. I make my bets carefully"

PLENTY YET TO COME

From the syandpoint of localized enthusiasm, California and Eng land have had the most to cheer about so far. Stanford's track team, small but powerful, and Cal ifornia's crew have turned in some of the best. cooperative sporting efforts of the year. England hopes to round out her greatest season in decades by keeping the Davis cup and challenging successfully for Americas cup (yachting) in September.
 During September the mems sim gles at Forest Hills, the national amateur golf at Brookline, the Americas cup yacht races and the East-West polo matches at Meadow Brook will be in progress. Before and after, such events as the re- turn McLarnin-R welterweight tic bout, the Columbia Yale foot ball eyeopener and the world series will keep eagle-eyed experts on the jump
