Gar Wood Praises
Sir MalcOlm's Feat
FORMER RECORD
HOLDER CABLES
BEST WISHES

DETROIT, Sept. Uniformed
that Sir Malcolm Campbell, Brit
ish speed king, had boosted the
worlds speedboat record to
129.4164 miles per hour, Gar Wood.
silver-haired American Speedboat
builder who held the record until
a few days ago, today warmly con-
graduated Sir Malcolm-the man
who took the record away from
him.
In cable to London, Wood
said:
II congratulate Sir Malcolm
on his wonderful record. I have
no definite plans at present"
PRAISES BRITON
Wood, in an interview, refused
to elaborate on the latter part Of
the cable, but he had additional
words of praise for Britain's idol.
"Sir Malcolm's was a great &C
complishment," Wood said. 1T
is a great event of major con-
sequence to speedboat racing"
Sir Malcolm a few days ago
pushed Woods record of 124.S6
miles per hour into discard by
sending his one-motored craft
across the waters of Lake Mag.
giore in Switzerland at 125.79
miles per hour. Then yesterday.
the British racer pushed the rec
ord still higher, setting 1t at
129.4164.
Wood said he was particularly
pleased that Sir Malcolm now had
pushed the record UP some five
miles an hour instead of a frac-
ton of a mile. In that way, he
indicated, there could be no doubt
of Sir Malcolm's present suprema-
cy on the water.
ut will give you something to
shoot at them" asked Woods
interviewer.
The Gray Fox" only smiled.
INCREASE SPEED
Wood would not hazard a guess
about the possible maximum speed
for water craft. He said he be-
lieved, however, that it was be-
coming very apparent that speed
would increase as the weight de-
creases and the power increases"
"Or, in other words" he ex-
planned, speed will depend on
the weight per horsepower.
Wood said he had no definite
plans for two reasons, the first,
present preparations for the gold
cup races, and, secondly, because
until Sir Malcolm came along no
one broke his record of 1874 miles
an hour, land had no excuse for
making plans"
SET RECORD
The boat, Miss America K, in
which Wood set his record, is now
diSmantled, its four engines gen.
Grating 6,400-horsepower being
kept in a fireproof building, as
they are the only engines of their
kind in the United States.
Close friends of Wood believed
that ultimately Wood would make
a try for a new record. They
pointed out it had been his life
long ambition to keep the speed
record in America. When Sir NAL
colin set the 125-mile speed a few
days ago, Woods office had said
Always remember Gar Wood is
ready" But today Wood was
