Ben soused his bucket of water into
the heart of the burning area and it
scattered the blaze with wooshing
sound. The flame did not go out; 1t
only scattered. A belch of steam
screened it for an instant, putting a
blot on the savage brilliance, but in
the next breath the flame had hold
again, licking hungrily through the
water bordering the orange glow with
red and blue streamers.
His eyes and his reason told him,
then, what his nostrils had failed to

The fire was spreading, and no mis-

they could see the flames leaping from

by heavy planks in their dance but,
by that very stoppage, given fresh food

Men we're coming, shouting as they
ran through the darkness. In all

Butler, swaying on his feet as he
coughed, turned to the next man in
dismay.
"He said :" he choked. "Got to

The line moved up. The man who
had taken Buffers place sOused a
bucket of water across the floor, knock

through from below. Then he attacked
the uprushing column of flame again.

attack.

Washington, great-grandfather of the
President, had come to Westmoreland,

there in 1876. Maj. Lawrence Wash

After their marriages the family

After that the Washingtons continued

descendants still live on part of the
same Wakefield estate-a continuous

3 MILE STARS
MEET AGAIN

NEW YORK, Feb. Fears that
Glenn Cunningham, Bill Bonthron
and Gene Venzke would not stage
another of their triangular duels
in the Baxter Mile of the New
York A. C. games at Madison
Square Garden, February Is, were
,dispelled today when it was an
nounced that entries had been re-
ceived from all three men.
There were recently reports that
Cunningham was Wearying Of COM
ing East from his home in the
Middle West so often and would
probably pass up this chance to
engage his old rivals again.
Since 1882 Venzke, Cunningham
and Bonthron have won successive
Baxter miles in that order.
The race will be the seventh
meeting between Bonthron and
Cunningham. Cunningham made
it three all when he led Bonthron
in the recent Millrose games by
considerable distance.

Runge, president of the Sheep
and Goat Raisers Association of
Texas, recently visiting United
States Senator Tom Connally in
Washington, overheard rip"
Miller, Lieut.. Tom Hamilton's
assistant coach of football at the
Naval Academy, state that Navy
really needs a new mascot since
the present Navy goat is too
weak, too small, not aggressive
enough and otherwise short of
Navy mascot propensities.
Now, every goat raiser in the
Texas association seems bound
and determined to present the
Navy with a mascot who will be
'Pg, strong, extraordinarily aggres-
sive and otherwise fit for mascot
duty with the Navy gridders.
Thus far, literally dozens Of
robust Angora goats. as tough
as they come and filled to over
flowing with fight, have been
offered to Navy by Texas goat
raiSers.
Under present plans of the
association, a contest will be
staged and the goat stacking up
as the strongest, healthiest,
fightingest goat of them all will
be forwarded to Navy to become
mascot in 1885.

Feb. Hockey Silvio CouccL
scourge of the longshot punters
and darling of the favorits
players, is going to pay return
engagement to Santa Anita.
The hard-riding Bronx italian,
who had so many winners when
he left here 10 days ago that he
still tops the Santa Anita riders,
will fly back here next week on
a special mission.
Coucci has been ordered by the
Whitney Greentree Stable division
to commute back to California to
ride Peradventure in the $4,000
Santa Anita Derby a week from
Saturday.
May Ride GuStO
This is the Saturday before the
running of the 100000 Santa
Anita and with the arrival here
today of Gusto from South Caro-
lima. Coucci's name was linked Rs
the possible rider for that horse.
Gusto took one of the most
spectacular price drops in future
book annals a week ago when

volplaned him from 1000 to / to
30 to l. on the strength of stable
money arriving from Gusto's WIN

he is not already engaged for that

owner believes he has a chance

BRITISH PILOT 7.
PREPS CAR

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla, Feb.
7.-While half dozen of Eng
lands best mechanics labored over
the five-ton racing monster "Blue-
bird" today, Sir Malcolm Camp
bell, "the fastest man on earth, "
awaited favorable conditions on
the speedway beach here for his
initial test run.
Test trials are expected to be
made this week and an attempt
to shatter his own worlds record
of 272 miles per hour may be
made next week, or whenever
conditions are right"
A scant second and half, less
time than it requires a track star
to cover IS yards, a considerably
shorter period than a swimming
champion takes to negotiate the
distance across a 20-foot pool,
separates the present record from
the mark that has been the
intrepid Englishman's long ambi.
tion to establish-a clip of 300
miles per hour.
The difference in this daring
conquest, however, amounts to
about 80 miles per hour, or nearly
$50 yards.
The huge, remodeled racer in
which Campbell will make his
fourth attempt here to break the
land speed record Travelled the
measured mile two years ago in
approximately 1872 seconds to es-
tablish the present record.
Reducing the time to exactly II
seconds the autoiSt would achieve
his 5-miles-a-minute goal, or 300
miles per hour.
"The big problem" Campbell
asserted, sis what the car will do
under such tremendous speed. 1
could pilot it safely at 400 miles
per hour, but one never knows
what the machine will do or
what may happen"

TRICK BOWLER
|NYST|F|ES

He can do more tricks than a
magician. and he does them
with a 16-pound bowling ball!
Andy Varipapa is not only rec
ognized as the worlds most SEN
sational bowler but also as an ex-
pert in straight shots. His record
of 27 perfect scores of 800 verifies
this.
One of his most spectacular
shots is the double ball" trick.
He bowls a slow ball, followed up
with a fast one and causes them
to cross before each proceeds to
the end of the alley to knock
down a pin. He bowls a ball half
way down the alley, makes it
turn around and come back to his
hand. His powerful wrist enables
him to put the necessary ENG
lish" on the ball to perform this
trick.
