FLIGHT SHOWS
STRIDE MADE
BY A|RPLANES

HONOLULU. T. H, April Is. U.H
The record-breaking flight of a
Pan-American Airways Clipper
plane from California to Hawaii
drew attention today to the re-
markable strides in transoceanic
flying since two army pilots in a
land plane made the first crossing
seven years before.
Dine in San Francisco, break
fast the next morning in Homo
lulu" became reality with the
completion of the first exploratory
flight of service which soon will
link not only Honolulu and the
mainland but the entire Orient
with the western coast of the Uni
ted States.
Capt. Edward A. Musick and his
five companions in their four-mo-
tored Sikorsky bridged the 2,400
miles in Is hours, 81 minutes, and
did it without making any effort
to travel the shortest path in the
quickest time. Instead they deliber-
ately reduced the speed of thier
plane to arrive after dawn and the
time originally announced. 1t was
possible they could have cut their
time at least three or four hours
had they tried.
Their speed contrasted with the
25 hours, so minutes it took Its.
Alfred Hagenberger and Lester
Maitland to make the first success
full east-to-west flight in 1927. The
army men had land plane of the
Fokker type. In the intervening
years only one other flight sue
ceeded in cutting their time until
yesterdays trail-blazing effort. The
previous best time was made by six
U. S. Navy planes in 1884. when
they crossed on the longest over
water mass formation flight ever
made in "a hours, 48 minutes.
After their 17-ton plane has been
reconditioned they will make ex-
ploratory flights around the Ha-
waiian Islands. then return to Cal
ifornia. 1t was indicated they
might make either Los Angeles or
San Diego their objective on the
return flight, tentatively set for
early next week.

to form of Johnny Allen has made
the New York outfit a definite

Harris frankly is concerned over
the next Western trip with its
four doubleheaders. These twin
bills are great for fans and the
bank statement, but they're night
mares to managers who have linn
tied hurting resources.
Must Develop Hurler
Somehow, out of Eddie Linke,
Henry Coppola, Leon Petit and
the others, Harris will have to
develop a pitcher who can be spot
ted here and there with a fair
chance to win. If he can do
that, then you'd better start prac-

legged to have bet the sum Of
$4,000 at the odds and that is
enough to give anybody a lack
of composure.
Wants Sure Bets
Mr.. Foster doesn't bet them
unless he's sure. Meantime, there
was a picture of McLarnin in a
morning paper, his left eye
cooked his right forefinger raised
in q gesture of assurance.
Personally, I think they're both
crazy.
I would like to go further and
add the testimony of Foster, who
said Ross couldn't be hit on the
chin with a right hand, and Of
McLarnin, who claims he's going
to knock Ross out with a right
under the heart.
That, by the way, isn't going
to be funny. AS a matter of fact,
it's liable to be tragic. I looked
at that Ross not long ago and
he's more than better, compared
to last year. He's twice as good
and the way he'll wing a left
hook over and above a right hand
that is dropped for a body punch
is something I don't wish to con-
template.
Frankly, a left hook to the
chin, particularly that snake bite
of Ross, ought to get somewhere
before McLarnin's right to the
body is fairly wound up.

Ross winning the first to become
the only man VIII held the light
weight and welterweight titles at
one and the same time. A few
months later, McLarnin came
back to take a disputed decision
and the title.
In the first fight, witnessed by
the writer, Ross landed approx
mately two and a half punches to
two and, therefore, won. This
time, the ratio ought to be three
to two and, while I'm conscious
that nothing very important has
happened in 80 rounds of previ-
GUS fighting, I shall commend
your attention to this particular
evening with the suggestion that
you watch for something sudden,

Seven races will be run, with
'daily double" wagering being

Race Secretary Pat Gallagher

ing. General Manager Al Boyle
is confident of playing host to TO-
900 spectators.
Horsemen, who have been work
ing their charges over the racing
strip say it is a full second faster

the track being resurfaced and the
turns banked since last December.

Morse recalls with considerable
pride that three of his proteges-

themselves with honors during
their careers. Maxam is one OF

Kirk Miller Everett at
The ball park last night, the
second decision he has drop
ped to the 1.-the Indiana
heavyweight within a period
of three weeks.
So good old Bill McCar-
ney will have to dig up an
other meal passport for him
self in view of the fact that
his ward, Brown, has prom
ised to hang up the gloves if
he stood today a defeated
man against Everett.
And well Washington's own
Matte might call it quits, if he
is unable to deport himself with
any more aplomb than he did
at the end of last evenings
fracas when it was apparent to
him as we'll as the 1000 at the
ringside that he had been out
claSsed by the lighter, shiftier,
more powerful Everett, who had
just given him an unmerc1tul
beating.
After the fight, and once pre-
vious thereto-when the bell
had rung to end the ninth,
Brown made passes at his foe
which were not only uncalled
for but STRICTLY against all ring
etiquette. The scene which
Brown precipitated when the
last gong had sounded and be-
fore the verdict had been an
nounced, was what you mlgnt
expect along about shutdown OF
a longshoremen'S picnic.
Ignominious Exit
Brown went into a tantrum
and was subsidized only when
ring officials stepped into the
arena and pinned his arms be-
hind him. He uttered oaths at
Everett and glared and stomped
and ranted up and down the
canvas, testimony conclusive
that he knew he was a beaten
man.
We need not remind any Of
you that all of this is no part
of ringmanship and is the very
first evidence that the perpetra'
tor of such conduct is quite un'
suited for the profession he es"
says. It was an ignominious
exit for Brown and the scores
of his friends who had gone out
to see him fight with the hope
that he might stage q come
back against Everett had moth
ing over which to be proud.
There was nothing wrong
with his fighting in the strict
sense, except that he wasn't
Everett's match, but it is no
credit to anyone to take defeat
as hard as Brown took his last
night. 1t was what he did after
the ninth and tenth bells that
robbed Brown of the glamor OF
putting up a game fight against
o better man.
Brown Bleeds Badly
From the instant the fight
started, it was apparent Brown
was intent on winning, as ne
came out swinging a wild left
hook that missed its mark by
inches. Everett refused to be
stampeded at this or any other
stage of the proceedings. Buck
stuck to his task, and inch by
inch whitfield down Matte, who
was so far behind at the end OF
the seventh round that it was
apparent he would have to take
the next three to even hope to
come out on top.
Everett'S whiStling left hooks
played havoc with Mates eyes
during the last three StanZaS,
the left orb of the former local
heavyweight champion being in
deplorable shape especially dur
ing the ninth and tenth rounds.
