BONNEVILLE SALT FLATS, Utah.
Some Of the fastest autos
man has devised will roar over the
worlds fastest race course here dur
ing the next couple Of months. The
world automobile high-speed record
Of 3ll.42 miles per hour may be
cracked.
If new record Is set, salt nat fol-
lowers agree 1t pro ably will be over
the 800 m.p.h. mark-may reach 325
m.p.h.
Capt. George Z. r. Eyston of Eng
land, present record holder, appears
to have the best chance Of breaking
his own mark.
The dindent mglishman still has
his gigantic Thunderbolt. . mechanical
monster that sped over this ancient
lake bed last November at . top speed
Of $40 .p.h. Thunderbolt, which broke
down several times with q faulty
clutch, has been repaired.
Thunderbolt, no longer an untried
racer, viii be let ''nat out" by Eyston.
Arthur c. Pillsbury. American Auto
mobile Association timer, declared last
fall he thought Thunderbolt capable
Of hitting 325 mph.
No matter what mark Eyston sets,

attempt At the high-speed mark, al
though he is . ell-established dis
tance driver, will invade the fats in
August with . radically built, turtle
shaped creation that he has declared
might hit $50 m.p.h.
Alb jenkins, Americas only high
speed driver, Is hurrying completion
of "Fyling Mile car in 1ndianapo-
lis for crack at Eyston's record. The
native Utahan will be on the fiats this
month.
Both Eyston and Jenkins also will
make attempts to break world dis
tance marks in smaller cars capable
Of hitting an average speed Of l6o
m phi. for 4s consecutive hours.
Tire Trouble.
Although the fiats are ideal for
high-speed racing because the salt
keeps tires relatively cool and lessens
danger Of disastrous blowouts, the
maximum speed Of automobiles Is
limited by tire construction.
Engineers have developed motors
and streamlining to point where
400 m.p.h. would be possible, but tires
won't stand the terrific gan. The next
move up high speeds ever-mounting
ladder will rest with tire manufac-
turers.
Starting at one end Of . 13-mile

high-speed record points his mechan-
ical BUILT down broad, black line
and guns it.
Halfway through the l3-mile track
he hits the measured mile. It Is his

counts. The moment he goes out

possibly wobbled OF their set course in
Kidding the fund Of that money, but
it's the most refreshing case staggering
local boxing has viewed in many
months.
BrainchiA Of . former local
newspaperman, Dick McCann.
that fund has served t. lessen
the misery Of battered and tat
tered preliminary boys.
Occasionally it strays from the i'm
mediate realm Of boxing, dipping into
family problems to lend . helping
hand. 1t Is possible the fund has been
victimized on several occasions, for
there has been little clubbing in dis
tributing that money.
Replace Boxers Stolen Coat.
There was the case Of a, Baltimore
boy, poor fighting specimen who con-
tinues to absorb punches because his
wife and two children otherwise might
60 hungry. His overcoat, fugitive
from . second -hand store, was stolen
at Turner's Arena, 50 the fund financed
. new one.
Billy Bullock, once promising local
lightweight, reported an old hand In
jury was affecting his boxing. There
was no detective work in determining
when, where or how he had obtained
that injury.
Directors Of the fund sent
him to . leading bone specialist,
who treated him and DISCHARGED
him IS cured. That reduced the
fund $50.
Lou Gevinson's smashing left hand
shattered the jaw Of Irving Schaefer.
Another $50 was snatched from the
fund for medical treatment In that in
cident, but the administrators went
further than that, granting him an ad-
ditional $25 for relief while out Of
work.
Stanford Carrier, who has appeared
in several eight-rounders here, was in

aid from the Maryland State Athletic
Commission was rejected. So he pre-

Another Twomey Protege.
Another Of Matt Twomeys endless
chain Of proteges will make his pro-
fessional debut Monday night at Grit
nth Stadium, thus following in the
footsteps Of Stablemates Lou Gevin-
son and Steve Mamakos, who were
seasoned In amateur circles by Two
mey and brought along in professional
ranks. The name is Eddie Saugsted.
saugsted at least has one thing in
his favor. He Is not receiving the
paeans Of praise that accompanied
Gevinson's abandonment Of the anna
teurs.
While he has captured local Golden
Gloves and A. A. U. titles, Eddie by no
stretch Of the Imagination hourished
in the hothouse Of boxing as did Lou.
He still has to earn q reputation.
Gevinson never had that advan.
tage. He was heralded as the greatest
thing that ever happened to local
boxing, and maybe he has been, but
he never has fulfilled the glowing
notices Of him a. he emerged from
amateur ranks.
He still has that persuasive
punch. but his development -
boxer withered among the ANA
teurs and he no longer ID . top
notch attraction.
Lou Has Defensive Flaw.
LOUIS amazing success as an ANA
teur created more than a mild stir In
local istic channels, but somewhere
along the line somebody forgot to tell
him what to do when his punches
missed. Joey Archibald, Tony Dupre
and Petey Sarron effectively demon
strated that would have been nice to
know
Mamakos vaulted from amateur
ranks with too much courage, If that
Is possible, and an iron chin. Now his
ears are pancaked and his features re-
arranged, for while he is q fair boxer
and splendid sponge in soaking up
socks. he hasn't chilling punch. He
might have been better OF to have
ceased swinging in the amateurs.
Now comes Saugsted to meet Baby

Peter volo, himself a champion in the

and he went into the stable Of silver
haired Benjamin Franklin White for
training.
Last year as q juvenile he failed to
win in seven starts, but in the $6l85
