AYTONA BEACH, Fla., March 2—This was Sir Malcolm €ampbell’s day, the one he has waited weeks for, but whether it held for him a new world speed automobile record above his own mark of 272.108 miles an hour or, a mere 200 miles an hour, or 100, or no trial at all rested entirely with the white sands of the wave-washed beach. A final survey at last night's low tide before the waves started sweep- ing in, covering the 11!>-mile strand with another tide that doesn't recede entirely until 11:27 am. (E. 8. T) today, showed the beach was holding its own. It's still far from perfect, soft in spots and somewhat ldmpy. But it is so much better than it has been through three weeks of nerve- wracking waiting that Sir Malcolm was determined to make his second test run. “The wind is shifting somewhat,” Sir Malcolm said after riding over it in his pleasure car last night, “but the beach is fairly good. Unless this tide coming in now does unexpected | damage, I shall run.” | All Depends on Beach. OW fast he would run was a question of the beach alone. Bluebird, the rebuilt 2,500 | horse-powered roaring chariot in which he set the present mark two years ago, has been tuned and ready for more than two weeks, all the “bugs” that developed in the first test run ironed from her 7-ton system. 1f precedent means anything Camp- bell would go as fast as the beach would let him. He was making a “test” run two years ago when he found the beach to his liking. Though the ex- | perts said it was too rough, he jammed the throttle to the floor and blasted to | his 272-mile record. No one ques- tioned that Campbell had designs on | his goal of 300 today, if he felt condi- tions warranted shooting for it, test | or no test. Cheerful, eager now that he feels the long wait is over, Campbell was noncommittal as to possible speeds. “You can go only as fast as the beach allows,” he said. “It’s still far from a 300-mile-an-hour beach. It needs several more high tides, backed | by a strong northeast wind.” | But he said that, too, in 1932. | The official electrical timing appara- | tus, with Odis Porter, from Indianapo- | lis, at the switches, was set up to catch him no matter what speed he tried. Workmen were ready to lay a foot-wide streak of black oil down the center of the course for his guidance. These arrangements were not made when Sir Malcolm made his first test and estimated, though his speedometer broke at the start, that he had reached 200 miles an hour. With northwest winds forecast to predominate through the next 48 hours, it was expected that Camp- bell’s record try would follow Sunday or Monday if beach conditions con- tinued to improve and the new record evaded him today. —_— CUYLER IN NEW ROLE AVALON, Calif, March 2 (#)— Kiki Cuyler prefers to operate at number three in the batting order, but Manager Charlie Grimm, the boss of the Cubs, is out to make a lead- off man out of the fleet outfielder.

EW YORK, March 2.—As a consequence of blowing down the latest obstacle in his path to lightweight fistic fame, Lou Ambers, the youthful “Herkimer Hurricane,” today has a clear claim to a match with Barney Ross, king of the 135-pounders, so far as the official boxing family of New York is concerned. Rated the No. 1 championship con- tender in'this State some time ago, Ambers made the solemn commission- ers of the fistic game look very good, indeed, by the thorough, convincing manner in which he plastered rugged Sammy Fuller of Boston in 15 brisk rounds in Madison Square Garden last night. Ambers failed to show sufficient punching power to dislodge the chunky Boston Italian from his feet, but the flashy up-State boxer had his opponent dizzy from & two- fisted fire from start to finish. Ambers, on the Associated Press score sheet, took 12 rounds—all ex- cept the third, seventh and fifteenth— and satisfied & crowd of 10,000 that he is one of the best lightweight pros- pects developed in years, despite the fact he is only 20 years old and has had less than 50 professional fights. Last night's match was only his sec- ond appearance in a main go at the Garden. May Wait for Ross. MBERS will be offered a match with Tony Canzoneri, former holder of the lightweight title. but may refuse it in preference to wait- ing for an outdoor match with Ross for the title. The Garden, which has Ambers under contract, wants to pair Lou with Tony March 22 or 29. The offer may be too attractive for Ambers and his handlers to turn down, espe- cially as they are confident Canzoneri can be taken by the “Hurricane.” Ambers weathered a stormy last unexpectedly in the fifteenth to rock Lou with several robust right-handers and open a gash under the youngster's left eye. Up to that point, however, | Ambers had an overwhelming margin | on points, piled up through the busy use of his whip-like left and a right | cross that had Sammy baffled, beaten | 8nd in retreat most of the time. Fuller | made it interesting for the first half | dozen rounds, but thereafter was out- speeded, outboxed and outsmarted by his young rival.

Previewed last night at the Ward- man Park Theater by & crowd of 400, including most of Washington’s re- maining colony of major leaguers, the American League’s official base ball picture, “Play Ball,” will go on display before the diamond public at large to- night, with the first showing at the Hine Junior High School, located at Seventh street and Pennsylvania ave- nue southeast. The film will begin at 8 o'clock and no admission will be charged. Lasting more than an hour, the seven-reel film, which was arranged by Umpire George Moriarty of the American League staff, represents a big step by the American League toward furthering interest in the na- tional pastime. While not a finished product as far as photography, light- ing and even continuity are concerned, the picture does much to show the in- side of the game and presages an an- nual diamond picture that will meas- up to the highest standards. \ 40 50 | HALL MEETS GRANT | FOR BERMUDA TITLE 'Mme.

BEGING WITH WIN Former Monarch of Links, | 43, Has a Lot of Golf Left. Changes Ways. BY WALTER B. McCALLUM. WO years between major tournaments, and then a little pot of $700 for the gent who used to rate up in the scores of thousands as a money earner—the biggest money maker in the game of golf of his day. Down in Miami next week Walter Hagen, the Old Duke of other years, the swash-buckler of golf and still the biggest figure in the professional game, will go to the post in another / tournament, this time the so-called “international” four-ball, which is far from an international affair and never has had a real international angle. The Hagen of 1935 is a far different Hagen from the man who has been taking it on the chin in golf tournaments since away back in 1929. A different Hagen is on view nowadays, a man who has his putting touch back and one who has eschewed the bright-light parade that caused his temperary eclipse. For Walter, so the word goes, has made up his mind to come back into the competi- tive wars where once he was the most-feared man in the field. And as an earnest of the new Hagen wit- ness his win in the Gasparilla open at Tampa a few days ago. Refuses His Winnings. RIOR to his Tampa victory Ha- gen's last win was at Jackson- ville, Fla., back in March of 1933, when the old boy, now 43 years of age, beat a good field to win a tournament sponsored by the golf company for which he works. Down | there at Jacksonville he made the grand gesture, refusing to accept the winner’s check of $300 because the | tourney was sponsored by the com- pany which employes him. It was a | grand gesture, too, because Walter was flat broke—as flat as the penny the kids put on the street car tracks. He and Bob Harlow didn't even have cigarette money, but in a typical Hagen gesture Walter thrust aside the purse, There still is plenty of golf left in Walter Hagen. He had a bad streak of putting for three or four years— pitiful putting for the one-time master of the 6-foot putt, the man who was next to Bobby Jones in get- ting down those tricky 6-footers. But he is out of it now, and you can look for Walter again to be up there at the top. The kids are good, but they are not any better than Walter when he gets geared up to go places. And he still has one of the great competi- tive spirits of all time, the same spirit | that made him ask for Mike Brady | back in 1919, when Walter had a 10- | foot putt to win the national open from Mike. Walter wanted him to i Mike on the play-off. | Nearly Called Turn. HE same spirit that bade him send a caddie to take the pin in the British openh of 1929, when he needed to hole a 150-yard pitch shot | to tie, and the ball hit only 2 feet | from the pin. There is and has been only one Hagen. His showmanship and his golf have been unique in a | game that has had many colorful per- formers, and if he gains his way to the crest again, as he seems to be do- ing, golf will be better for it. The new Hagen won't be late for his first tee appearances. He has changed his ways, the boys say, and is downright grim about his golf these days. Walter has been hit hard | in the pocketbook and he realizes that perhaps some of the sock has come from his own antics. So he is | changing, and if he gets going he still can give the kids plenty of trouble. No man with the heart of | Hagen, and his great golf tempera- | ment is through at 43. | DUNBAR WINS EASILY Poets End Season With 46-to-21 Victory Over Vocational.
