DAYTONA BEACH, Fla, Feb. %.
If Sir Malcolm Campbell is un-
able to coax speed of 300 miles an
hour from his mighty Bluebird,
there is young North Carolina to-
bacco farmer who will catch the
first train south and show him how
to do it.
And if the North Carolinian should
fail there is a Massachusetts, fish
erman, an Idaho potato grower, and
silk hosiery salesman from jack
sonville ready to step into the cock
pit and daredevil all over the beach.
These gentlemen, along with sew
eral others, have volunteered by
mail since Sir Malcolm arrived in
America. Letters from would-be rae
ing drivers fill the Britisher's mail
every day, as do helpful hints on
speed from amateur engineers and
mechanics.
The North Carolina tobacco farm
er after advising he was %, broke
and disguised, had this to say:
IT think that Bluebird thing of
yours can go 300 ano I'm the man
for the job. / will give it all the gas
Imperial Valley press., 1935-02-22

it's got, and if it kills me that'il be
all right, too.
I'm tired of farming anyway.
amt afraid of high speeds, because
I amt never been that fast. The
fastest I ever went was go per, but
the car was in was so rattly it felt
like 500. Give me a chance at that
baby of yours and I'll push it along.
Don't think I'm nuts. Drop me a
line right away and down I'll come"
A Mr.. John Deagle of Whitefish
Falls, Ont, wrote in today to point
out grave mistake in the con-
struction of the Bluebird-a mistake
which Mr.. Deagle thinks will send
Sir Malcolm straight up among the
angels.
According to what can see from
the photos" wrote Mr.. Deagle, "the
front and back ends of your racer
stick out beyond the axles. At the
enormous speed at which you travel,
such a construction has a tendency
to cause your car to develop a sway
lib lhObiOil biiub Will dulShiy htNC'-
op into to and fro, alternating
movement. If you wish to test out
what I mean securely bolt one or
two ordinary railroad rails under
an ordinary car, well extended out
over the aXles, and try and drive
fast. You'll find it terrible. So fix
Bluebird up. Bear in mind that you
owe it to your family, your friends,
your country, your science, and the
motoring world not to unnecessarily
jeopardize yourself"
The Idaho daredevil in proposing
Bluebird be turned over to him, con-
fessed an unhappy marriage, and
its resultant alimony, caused him to
seek a drivers seat.
my wife never would catch me
in that buggy of yours" he wrote.
"And that would make all the risks
worth while. I'll bring my own uni
form, goggles and all. And all you'll
have to do is fill that Bluebird up
with gas and stand back. It'll be 300
or me-"
The silk hosiery salesman's talk
ing point was based on his know
ledge of bad roads.

FAVORED SPOT
FOR BIC RACE
BY GEORGE II. BEALE
nited Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 22.-Little
was heard but Equipoise today
with the running of the worlds
richest horse race, the 100000 ad-
ded Santa Anita handicap, only
"a hours away.
The C. V. Whitney entry was an
overwhelming favorite to pound
across the line Saturday at the
head of the classiest field of horse
flesh ever assembled.
The fact that the brown speed
ster had to outrun such stars as
Twenty Grand, Statesman, Mate,
Time Supply, Azucar, Ladysman,
Gusto, Head Play and a dozen
other top-notchers made no differ
ence.
The fact that the field was so
large and that Equipoise had to
carry top weight of 13O pounds had
no effect either. He was 21s to /
in the future books.
Twenty Grand, one of the all
time greats of racing, was held Sec
ond TO Equipoise. He was rated at
6 to 1, his races at Santa Anita
track not having been impressive.
His owners we're heartened a bit
yesterday however, when he went
the handicap distance in 2 minutes,
4 AS seconds in a trial spin. He
finished seemingly as sound as
when he started Ted Clark, Ladys-
man, Gillie and High Glee also
turned in good time in workouts
yesterday.
In addition to those mentioned
above, other likely starters in the
mile and a quarter race included
Faireno, RiskuluS, Top Row, Frank
Ormont, Good Goods, Sarada,
Flem, Thomasville, Mad Trump
and Spicson.
The weather bureau promised
perfect conditions for the meeting
of these thoroughbreds and that
meant a perfect track, for it has
been fast for the past week.

Just as soon as he and Col. Jacob

statement that if he signed at all
it would be with the understanding
that he would play regularly.

will play regularly; that is up to

The guessing contest which CEN
tered around where Babe finally
would land has switched now to how
he will bear up as a bench warmer,
something new to him after more
than 20 years in baseball.
There also is a guessing contest
as to what his salary will be. Last
season it was $4,000. Half of thai
for the coming season is the popu-
lar prediction.

SCORES
KNOCKOUT IN
RAMACE BOUT

LOS ANGELES, Feb. %. W,P) -
The left fist of Joe Louis, Detroit
Negro sensation, had gained him
another Knockout victory today and
eliminated Lee Ramage of San Di-
ego from heavyweight championship
competition.
The left swung from the hip,
caught groggy Ramage flush on
the jaw in the second of a sched-
uled ten round bout at Wrigley Field
last night and 10000 spectators
started for the exits.
1t. Com. Jack KenWorthy; sur
yivor of the recent crash of the U.
S. navy's giant dirigible, Macon,
started to count over the San Diego
youth but the referees gesture was
unnecessary.
Ramage, flat on his back on the
canvas, obviously was out and his
seconds threw in the towel.
A round house right to the head
put Ramage in trouble almost at the
opening bell. He survived the first
round only by expert footwork.
Louis weighed 1876 pounds; Ram
! age 1873.
The Knockout was the second
/ Louis scored over Ramage, the pre-
vious one coming in bout in Chi
cago last December.
For Ramage the fight apparently
meant the end of a spectacular career
that had carried him almost to the
top flight among the heavies. He
announced before the contest that
should he lose he intended to retire
rather than to become a second
rater.'
In a semi-final bout, Midget VOL
CAST, 121, Philadelphia, former fly
weight champion, won an easy To-
round decision over Juan zurita, 1913,
Mexico City.
