SPEED MARK TRY
AWAITS A STORM
Needed to Harden Sand and
Campbell Sees March IS

~ AYTONA BEACH, Fla, March
5.-Sir Malcolm Campbell
IL believes that unless condi-
tions change suddenly and
radically for the better he won't be
trundnng Bluebird out on Daytona's
sands again to try for the world auto
mobile speed record until March is
at the earliest.
Past the indecisive stage, his mind
crystallized by the developments Of the
past few days, Britain's speed master
spoke his piece today in no uncertain
words.
"It's impossible to attempt speeds
above 270 miles an hour with the
beach In its present condition." he
said. "Bluebird needs perfect condi-
tions to do justice to herself. The
beach is fairly level, but it's soft. If
the surface hasn't hardened enough
to permit a trial today, I'd say that
it will be at least March Is. and the
next full Of the moon. before we have
q chance to CO."
Need Perfect Conditions.
CAMPBELL went on then to ex-
plain that while Daytona's 1l12-
mile racing strip is level enough
to the eye, perfect for speeds up
around $50 miles an hour, 1t simply
doesn't provide the traction Bluebird
needs when her $500 horsepower
motors are roaring full, her wheels
turning over at a terrific rate In the
effort to carry her above her own
272.108 miles an hour record, toward
the 300 miles an hour he covets.
We've studied this beach thor
oughly," he said. I'VE know that 1t
takes a northeast storm, and heavy
seas pounding down the sands to
harden them to the point where you
can expect to travel that fast. Every
where around the world where I've
studied beach conditions, looking for
the perfect place. we've always found
that full moons are preceded by north
casters.
by some quirk Of nature there was
no northeaster here before the last
full Of the moon. Therefore the sands
have been soft. It was our bad luck.
It will take an unusual circumstance
to provide that surface before north
casters are due with the next full Of
the moon, around the middle Of
March. If we don't get them then,
I don't know what we shall do"
Must Conserve Tires.
CR MALCOLM has only tires
y enough for three more record
runs, and he Is determined to
save those for the time when condi-
tions. to his mind. justify his going
out on the beach in a legitimate ef-
fort to break his 2-year-old record.
Pressure has been brought on him
to keep running. regardless. but the
50-year-old Englishman, who knows
what he wants, has made up his mind.
He won't go again until he feels that
he has a chance to do the thing he
has spent s50.000 this year toward
attaining, has pointed all his interest
and energy-300 miles an hour.
He baked definitely yesterday, after
taking terrific pounding for two
days on sands that are smooth to the
naked eye, but where slightest Jumps
were magnified a hundredfold by the
speeds he attained, 233 the first day
270 the second.
He was gassed the first day by an
accident to the cowling that poured
fumes into the cockpit. and both days
he was jolted and bounced by bumpy
stretches that he said would have
heaved him from the driving seat had
he not been strapped in the car.

Furr, seemed to have safely
passed the most important crises of
their young lives today.
Under the effective restorative that
was Goldie Ahearn's artful match
making, the f1stic game, which ap-
peared in its last stages after less
than a year of existence, is back on
its feet. As a result of sensational
victory over Jackie Davis Of Cleveland,
young Furr finally has fulfilled prom
ise of developing into a f1rst-class
welterweight.
Ahearn, newest matchmaker of the
Washington Auditorium, pumped new
life into boxing with the best all
around card since his Riding and
Hunt Club was shut down. What
Furrs newest manager, Chris Dundee,
pumped into Phil'S lanky body and
heretofore dissatisfied mind is a mys-
terry, but whatever the concoction, it
made the local ringster fight the best
scrap of a meteoric career that had
been showing distinct signs of failing
