J., July 20.—Gar {Wood thought he had something a at 93 miles an hour in his motor boat but the speed of water racing crafts has been upped nearly 40 mph since then. And two boats are now under construction th tamay better exst- ing times for both straight-away runs and circular Gold cup com- petitions. Sir Malcolm Campbell of England, who formerly held the automobile speed record and now owns the | speed boat mark, is building a “mys- tery boat” in*which he plans to as- sault the speed tables on a one- | mile straight-away course on Lake | Bala in Merionethsire, England. At Ventnor, George Cannon's new three-motor job is nearly ready for trials. He hopes it will be a | sensation in the Detroit Gold cup | regatta on Labor Day. While the Briton, Campbell, holds the speedboat record, an Italian, |ican Gold cup record. Rossi sent his Alagi over a measured course in | the Potomac river in Washington at 91408 mph two years ago . No one seems to know just how much faster a boat can travel than :the present speed of 130.94 mph {made last year by Campbell. Here's the way the speed record has jumped in the last decade: Year Driver 1929— 93.12—Gar Wood, USA. 1950— 98.76—Sir Henry Beagrave, England J 1931—102.25—Gar Wood * 10348—Kaye Don, England 110.25—Kaye Don Two ""Mystery Ships” May’ decade gao when he flashed along | WASHINGTON, July 20.—“T just ,throw her straight forward,” the blimpy Belgian said, “about like you flip a cigarette butt.” That’s the way Emil (Dutch) Leonard explains the knuckle ball that is raising such havoc in the American League, particularly among the New York Yankees, Not since Thornton Lee had the Yanks eating out of his hand two years ago has any pitcher had the Indian sign on the New Yorkers as the big Washington righthander has had this season. He's already beaten them three times—and the campaign is only a third finished. Leonard throws his knuckler with a half side and overhand de- livery. He says that in throwing it he prefers placing the tip of his !loreflnger on the seam and the knuckle of the middle finger near the seam. The thumb and other fingers serve as controls. Hard To Catch Rick Ferrell, who catches Leon- | Count Theo Rossi, owns the Amer-!ard, says, “He's the hardest pitche I've ever tried to catch. “By comparison, Feller is easy,” he says. “When Peller throws his fast ball you know that if it's higk the best it will do is to take off . . g0 up a few.inches. “But nobody knows where Leon- ard’s knuckler is going. Lots of times I've shifted my body to take a pitch that was headed wide of the Nation !plate, only finally to grab it inside and right off the hitter's uniform “How- far does.it jump? I'd say at best it jumps a good two feet Sometimes it goes to one side and then again it jumps clean across to another.” Only Lossers—Jim four Bagby, EMIL (DUTCH) LEONARD His Knuckler Sometimes Jumps Two Feet. Jr, of Boston, Buck Newsom of St. Louis, Monty Stratton and Lee of Chicago—managed to whip the Yanks three times during all of last year. And the New Yorkers whipped Lee five times. And in 1937 only three—Lee, Edgar Smith of Philadelphia and Elden Auker of Detroit scored three wins over the Yanks. Lee had a 5 & 3 count with McCarthy’s ~ men, Auker had 3 & 0 and Smith 3 & 3. Stingy With Hits In achieving his 3 & 0 account with New York, Leonard gave up only four runs and 19 hits in 30 in- uings against the shelling of base- ball's heaviest artillery. Over the same stretch Washington present- ed him a mere eight runs, but Leonard made them be engugh. The 29-year-old Brooklyn castoff has been in professional baseball since 1930. He won 14 and lost .11 cames for Brooklyn in 1934. The ‘cllowing season he was cut loose ‘fter a few weeks and after having reen given only one chance to start a2 game. So he went back to the ‘ninors, to Atlanta. He won 13 in 1936, and 15 in 1937. And Clark riffith of the Senators was so hadly in need of pitchers that. he lecided to give the ex-National 'eaguer a chance. Beat Feller Last year he won 12 and lost 15 for a very mediocre Washington ‘eam. The highlight was the 13- inning 1-0 shutopt he scored over he then league-leading Cleveland 'ndians and Bob Feller, This season he has won nine and ‘ost two through July 10 and is Washirgton's best pitcher. Buck Harris thinks he is pitching as z00d ball as any flinger in the loop.
