HIS STOP CLOCKS
FIT MANY SPORTS
Chicago Man Designs Them

Spurning Profit.
BY AURELIUS KINsEY,

Associated Press Feature eervies Writer.
CHICAGO-n some one were TO tell
Joe Lipp that table tennis or crochet
ing needed a special type Of stop watch
he probably would suffer insomnia
until he had figured out how to make
one.
Joe Lipp, head Of . Chicago paper
company, has designed watches for
football, basket ball, boxing, and now
blossoms out with Flip" watch thaA
will record to a split second the finish
time Of any number Of runners In .
track event.
All one has to do with Joes flip
watch Is press button as each runner
crosses the line. Each squeeze makes
the second hand tap . dot Of red ink
on the dial for the ofiicials to calcu-
late time on the winner, second, third
and 50 forth.
He's Versatile Timer.
Lipp has been oficial time keeper
for every sort Of sport event since
19l7. He has timed Braddock. Louis,
Henry Armstrong and many others In
the ring. He. confesses having seen
more free football and basket bail
games than he can count and all be-
cause he is interested in sports and
time keeping.
Lipp says he lost considerable sleep
figuring out his first watch, for foot
ball, back in 1927. This watch had .
75-minute face, enabling timing
straight through the four quarters. tn
termissions and time-outs. 1t proved
SO popular with colleges that Lipp went
on figuring out other kinds Of time
pieces for the Swiss watch makers to
cor struct.
Grid Watch Coming Up.
His watches for knockouts and
rounds in boxing have been accepted
as official by the national boxing
board. The basket ball watch accounts
for play periods, time-out and over
time.
The latest of Joes gadgets Is an
Illuminated down. recording box" for
night football. A foundry foreman is
struggling with castings for this inven-
ton which Lipp hopes to have ready
for the 1898 nocturnal games.
Lipp says it is all fun 80 far a. he is
concerned He sells the watches at
prices he figures will break him even,
thus making them contributions to
sport.

match today with j. Gilbert Hall, 18th

er-finals. Lynch reached the round Of

muller and It. J. M. Worthington,
scoring over the former, 60, 6-l, and
the lieutenant. 60. 6-.
Burt was Harvards No. player last
spring and whipped the veteran Hall.
l2-lO. Ga. Lynch's seniority and the
fact that Burt was forced to play at
top speed in his opening match may
have paved the way for victory for
the Washington player. If he wins,
Lynch will go to the quarters where.
in all likelihood, he will meet British
Davis Cupper Hall.
David johnson, Washington's only
other entrant at Spring Lake. was
beaten in the second round by Stephen
Ogilvy. l0--8. 6-l, after receiving q
first round default.
