CAMPBELL THINKS
NEW MARK LIKELY
Nine-MiIe Auto Run at Day.
tona Skinny, However,
Briton Asserts.
BY JOHN LARDNER.

y R MALCOLM CAMPBELL,
who moves faster over land
= than any one in the world, has
just arrived in this country
with his wife, his daughter, his car,
an extra engine, SO spare tires, and
a large supply Of that well known
British reticence. Sir Malcolm leaned
over backward and touched the
ground with his hands in an effort to
keep from saying that he would set
new speed record for automobiles
next month.
Il have nice car" said the titled
road-scorcher. You have a nice
beach. Between us we may be able
to accomplish something"
Sir Malcolm's car is like a brides
costume, being composed of something
old, something new, something bor-
rowed. and something blue. The
engine is old, or, at least, it is the
same sort of 12-cylinder engine with
which Sir Malcolm SKINNED to a
record of 272.l08 miles per hour in
1888. The body is new and very, very
streamlined The name of the car
is Blue Bird. We will not 60 into
the borrowed" angle at this time.
Not Good Insurance Risk.
DERHAPS you know the conditions
of Sir Malcolm's latest effort.
He will begin assaulting his own
record at Daytona Beach on or about
the 18th day of February. He has
until February Is to hang I'D a new
mark. The latter half of February
IS the time OF year at which the beach
Is IN the best shape for driving.
Sir Malcolm's new chariot has been
awarded four stars by all the dis
eliminating critics in this country and
Great Britain. Your correspondent
did not see it, and had to console
himself by examining the driver. The
driver is a robust and healthy Gale
donian, the kind that lady novelists
call "tweedish" or ''tweedy." He
doesn't seem to be worried by the
fact that insurance companies lock
their doors when he calls.
THE element of danger In this sort
Of driving is pretty much the same
at all times, and practically unavoid-
able" he said. 1T lies in little things
that can't be foreseen. This car is
as safe as any I've ever driven. The
thing I like best about it is the new
air brakes. They'll give me a better
stopping margin. Stopping is i'm
portant on a course only o miles
long"
Another novelty about the current
Blue Bird is her dual rear wheels.
She is 2814 feet over all and weighs
about 4s4 tons. She eats I'D 90
gallons of gasoline a minute. In
short, she is not a car you and !
could afford to purchase and she is
not car you and I Il, at leasD
would care to drive If We could.

THE SPORTZIGHT
Three Hundred Million Will Be Bet >
at Race Tracks This Year, Is Estimate.
BY GRANTLAND RICE

~ IAMI, Fla, January 81
nU When you happen to think of
VV money in connection with
sport, how about the racing
game? Where do foot ball, boxing,
golf, base ball, ETC., figure in COM
parison?
The racing game is divided into two
sections:
/. What it costs to breed, buy, train,
feed and otherwise handle race horses.
2. The amount of money bet
bookmakers, pari-mutuels, handbooks.
The New England district in 1884
reported something like s42,00o,0o0
passing through the machines. That's
up into finance. Anybody's finance.
Hialeah had big year and there was
plenty wagered back and forth at Pim-
lico, Harve De Grace, Louisville, Sara
toga, New Orleans, the New York
LTdCkSr 0dll IIdIlSloCO, t11C 4CAdo
tracks, Aqua Caliente, and a flock Of
other places.
And 1885 will pass this 1884
mark long way-h the money
holds out. There are always
lot Of things that will happen
II they money holds out.
Now Santa Anita is added to the
list at Los Angeles-with several
others.
As a guess, there probably will be
around $500, ,000, 900 bet at American
tracks in 1885, and that doesn't in
clude the handbooks.
Hialeah established its place as a
Sure-fire success in 1884, and 1885
should be even bigger. The Miami
track already is off and away to a
big start and Santa Anita is steaming
on its way to the 100000 race Feb
ruary %, when some good thorough
breds will have to beat Cavalcade.

1885 Racing.

IUST- how they are going to get
:. enough good horses to supply all
the 1885 tracks from Hialeah to
Santa Anita-from Texas to New Eng
land-from New York to San Fran
lis something of mystery. But Jock
Whitney says there will be plenty Of
good horses-whenever tracks are: run
as they should be run.
In any event. Florida isn't
worrying In the slightest.

The Chance to Win.


A NUMBER of letters have come in
II asking what chance the public
has in this racing game.
Financially speaking, the public at
large has practically no chance in any
gambling game. The famous kitty is
entirely too voracious. The take from
the pari-mutuels or the totalizers runs
from 6 to IA per cent.
If $500, 0,000, 900 is bet in q year, the
kitty will be somewhere between $20,-
000, 900 and $50, ,000,0 900.
The melancholy refrain that
"all horse players must die
broke" means nothing to the
multitude. 5<b.i>
If there is one single universal trait,
it is to get something for nothing
something without having to work for
the same. That's where the thrill is
when it happens to happen.
Arnold Rothstein told me once that
he could beat the races-but not the
stock market. They are both tough
enough-when it comes to finishing
in the black.

at the start of q large and lus-
cious season, probably a better
season than 1884 in spite of the
competition.
Back in 1888 Henry L. Doherty gave
me this statement: Either things
are coming back in Florida or they
are not coming back. I'm not going
to wait any longer to find out. I am
going to take it for granted they
are coming back-and plan my pro-
gram along this line"
And that, at least, was the start Of
a Florida invasion which has been in
creasing ever since.

HOPES After Week of Many Trials

One park wagon was smashed
Sunday when it was dumped into.
the river near the MacPhail cabin
by vandals. 1t had been sold and
was alongside the road awaiting
removal by the new owner.
But there was one bright spot
in the upsetting week for Mr..
Marsh. The deer which escaped
from the enclosure and has been
at large all summer and fall came
back to captivity willingly when
the superintendent cut q hole in
the fence outside which the animal
was watching him feed the others.

4 TEAMS AFTER
TITLE IN LITTLE
TEN CONFERENCE
Point Plan Makes New Ulm
Contender With Redwood,
Springfield, Sleepy Eye

Four football teams, all natural
rivals as we'll as contenders for
the Little Ten conference champ
ionship, will meet in two big
games Friday night and Monday,
Armistice day, with the league
pennant or a share of it in view
TOR the winner.
For local fans, the Springfield
Redwood Falls game under the
foodlights at Springfield Friday
at 8 p. m. holds the center of in
terest. Springfield has played one
more game than Redwood and as
a result holds higher position in
the standings but defeat of the
Kraut men would reduce their
percentage to .666 while Redwood
would advance to the 800 class.
Sleepy Eye and New Ulm will
make Armistice day the occasion
for hostilities with the Indians
favored against the Brown county
seat representatives. Should
Sleepy Eye take that game, its
rating would improve to .o3o and
give it leadership over all except
Springfield, who by winning,
would still tie for the title.
Redwood's chances, then, de-
pend not only upon the outcome
of the Springfield game for only
by New Ulm winning can the
Cardinals claim the highest per-
eentage in the standings. The
Cards have one less league game
scheduled than Sleepy Eye. and
Springfield.
The situation is also complicat-
ed by the fact that point system
exists in the conference by which
a team receives two points Tor
each victory and one for a tie.
New Ulm has tied three games
and won two, giving it seven
points at present with a goal OF
nine should it beat the Indians.
Redwood's best prospect is Tor
eight points which would give 1t
a percentage advantage but not a
point leadership, question Whlch
league officials would have TO
weigh in deciding the title holder.
Springfield and Sleepy Eye al
ready have eight points each.
While Redwood was taking
Glencoe in stride last week 70 to
12. Springfield tasted its first de-
feat. at the hands of homecom-
inp day-inspired Marshall aggre-
cation which pushed the Krauters
aDout the field for 20 to 2 troun-
cling.
Two factors of that defeat make
the game this week doubly inter-
esting. Springfield has rather aw-
ed the rest of the league this
wear with its string of victories
by big margins whereas Mar
shall's success gives Redwood's
bows encouragement in knowing
that Springfield is not unbeatable.
At the same time coaches have
learned to fear teams in their
first game after a setback, the re-
bound often giving them more
fight and making them tougher
opposition than ever before.
Eligibility lists made up Mon
day indicate Redwood will be at
full strength Friday, one of the
few games of the season when all
regulars and reserves have been
available. This was big factor
in the defeat of Glencoe Friday
and makes the chances nearer
even of beating Springfield.

KISE CAPTURES
FUGITIVE GIRL IN
2 MILE CHASE
Barbed Wire Fence Nemesis
For City Girl Trailed
By Sheriff

A two mile chase on foot
through the snow, over fences,
through weed-tilled gullies and
across fields by Sheriff L. ]. Kise
resulted in the apprehension of
Jean Gould, II, fugitive from a
st. Paul house OF correction,
Tuesday.
Escaping from the institution
Friday for the third time with a
companion, Edith Kopischke, Is,
who also was arrested, the girl
went to her sisters home near
Walnut Grove. They are the
: daughters of a horse trader, fam
iliar to Redwood county residents.
Informed that the two, who had
stolen a car in st. Paul following
their scape and abandoned it there
shortly after, were in Walnut
Grove, Sheriff Kise and Mrs. Kise
went to- the farm.
After taking them to Tracy to
look for the Could girls sister
and returning, Kise remained out
side while Mrs. Kise accompan-
led the girls into the house where
they were to change their clothes.
Going into the bedroom, the Gould
girl somehow slipped out of the
house through a side door and
ran across the barnyard, disap-
pearing into a ravine filled with
tall weeds before her absence was
noticed. When she was missed,
Kise dashed after her, following
the tracks of her high heeled
shoes in the snow. Trailing her
through a neighboring farm yard,
the officer burst into the house,
seeking someone to take out a car
in case she should gain the high
way, but the house was empty,
and Kise, after the delay, ran
even faster. At the top of barb
ed wire fence over which she at
tempted to scramble, the fugitive
caught herself and fell to the
ground on the other side. Kise
snapped the handouts on her,
commandeered a passing car and
returned with her to the house
st. Paul authorities took the
girls back to the institution
