SPORTS. THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. AUGUST 18, 1935—PART ONE. SPORTS 300-Mile Mark Still Campbell’s Goal : Crawford Would Race Speedboat Here < Believes Salt Beds Track Best for Supreme Test of Bluebird. BY EDWARD J. NEIL, Assoctated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, August 17.—The little man with the big thun- derwagon, 50-yeai-old Sir ‘Malcolm Campbell, will be on the high seas again this week, head- ing for probably his final shot at roar- ing glory on the salt plains of Utah. In his head again is the dream of 300 miles an hour in the six-ton me- chanical monster of an automobiie engineers say is the finest machine ever put on wheels, the monster he christened Bluebird and affectionately calls “the old lady.” It's the same Bluebird, the same *“old lady” that carried him to a new speed record of 276.816 miles an hour only last February on the sands at Daytona Beach, Fla., twice carried nim to the edge of the most fearsome death a man might face on land—and twice carried him out again. There have been no major changes in construc- tion, few minor adjustments. Will Use Old Bluebird. QHES the same long, low glistening | blue thunderbolt, 2.600 horsepower from two aviation engines under her hood, four wheels at the rear instead of the conventional two to give her | better traction. He rides in the same | tight cockpit, just big enough to hold | his 120 pounds, his white helmeted | head rising just high enough to let | him peer through a glass windshield only a few inches high. Behind him a huge rudder, big enough to direct the biggest transport plane, splits the wind and holds him straight on his course. *“Ill do it this time,” the slight, nonchalant little Englishman said be- fore sailing, “and then I'll chuck it. T1l be satisfied with 300 miles an hour.” But he said similar things several times before. He said that about 200 miles an hour when he first came to Daytona several years ago and shot his racer over the golden sands of the | most beautiful beach stretch in the world, Setting Records Since 1928. i THE first time he came over, in 1928, he boosted the world speed mark to 206.956 in a Napier Bluebird Spe- cial, and he might have been satisfied except that his arch rival, Major Henry Seagrave, later killed setting a new speed boat record in Italy, lifted the mark to 22458 in 1929. Back came Campbell, and up went the rec- ord to 245.733 in 1931, then 253.968 in 1932, then 272.108 in 1933, all at Daytona Beach. Twice this last time, harassed by bad weather, by the realization that his tires weren't strong enough for the speeds he sought, by his desire to “put on a show” for those who came | to watch, Campbell took chances that | nearly cost his life, just as speed ! racing took the lives of Ray Keech, ! Frank Lockhart, Lee Bible and others before him. | Once he was roaring down the lumpy beach at better than 200 miles an hour when the cowling on one side of his motors tore loose, covering TRACK Sir Malcolm Campbell, noted British driver, inspecting Blue Bird, maker of records, which he has tuned | up anew for another effort in America.

The anglers are just reap- ing the benefit this year with the ap- | pearance of more fish than have been | seen for many, many vears. We have salt water in large imn into illegal fishermen on my last | three trips. ‘We made a report to the Maryland Conservation Commission about these men. E.

He wasn't satisfied as he went back to England with Lady Campbell and 12-year-old Jean, his daughter, who watched him race this year for the first time. He feit that a sand surfnce‘ no longer would hold him at the | #peeds he sought. He went back to the insurance business that has made | him a very wealthy man. Discusses Salt Bed Track. BUT he kept writing and asking | about this other place in America where the surface was smooth and | hard, where there was unlimited distance to get up speed, and unlimited distance in which to stop after he | had gone his fastest mile—the salt | beds of Utah. | John Cobb, British driver who set | & host of new records there for dis- tance speeds a few weeks ago, brought glowing accounts of the terrain back | to London to Campbell and imme- diately he announced he'd try again. He needs a 15-mile straightaway, 7 miles to get rolling, one measured mile, 7 more to stop. He needs a sur- face hard as a rock to give him per- fect traction. ‘Two engineering problems perplex- ing him he undoubtedly has solved. One was better tires, the other was adapting Bluebird’s motor from the moist sea level atmospheres of Day- tona Beach to the rarified air of the salt beds. The second problem is one ‘0f superchargers. ;" Engineers Have Faith in Driver. THERE never has been any question ' in engineers’ minds but that “Campbell, given the surface, could travel 300 miles an hour in Bluebird. "His nerves are of steel, despite his years. Theoretically, Bluebird should speed 330 miles an hour under perfect cpnditions. ; There’s a baronetcy waiting him at the first “King's orders” following the time he “breaks 300.” Hell probably quit then, retire as he said he would. Lady Campbell and Jean, who suffered greatly at Daytona Beach, wish he would, but fear he won't. Little Jean says: “He's always been saying he'd stop, * but he's always going on and he's always fooling with motors out in the garage. I'm sure he’ll be all right, uiways. He's doing the thing he Ioves to do. He tells Mummy and me not to worry, so we won't.” They honestly try not to. “LAYTONSVILLE IS HOST. ~Laytonsville A.

HICAGO, August 17.—Myrtle- wood, 3-year-old filly, which holds the world’s record for six furlongs, easily won the seventh annual running of the Francis Peabody memorial handicap, 1 mile, at Lincoln Fields today. The filly paced the field almost from the start and finished a length and a half ahead of J. F. Clark, jr.'s Clang. ‘Tearout, owned by D. B. Midkeff, was third, and Banish Fear was fourth in the field of 13. Myrtlewood, a daughter of Blue Larkspur-Friezeur and ridden by Jockey J. McCoy, earned $4,740 for her owner, B. Combs, by the victory, | and covered the mile in the fast time of 1:3635. A light rain started to fall before the start of the race, but the racing strip remained lightning fast | for the handicap. In the $2 mutuels Myrtlewood paid $9 to win, $5.60 to place and $4.40 to show., Clang, an outsider in the betting, rewarded with $7.80 to place and $540 to show. The show price on Tearout was $4.80. Ted Clark, C. N. Mooney's 4-year-old colt, the favorite, never figured in the running, finished well back. PLAY FOR LOOP TITLE Bokar and Rajah Nines Meet in A. & P. Clash Today.

All Police Boys' Club games listed for today have been postponed until next Sunday, it was announced last night by Irving Meshkoff, director. purse netter operating below Cedar Point Light. The purse netters not |only are getting large numbers of | blues and sea trout, but, according to | mer at this place, with catches as | landed in goodly numbers. Kingfish Andrew Gemeny, local angler, they | |are becoming hard boiled, showing | guns and threatening to board sport | boats with hatchets. | On our trip last Wednesday we {had in my party Dorothy Smith, | Martha Smith and Brooke Young, | their uncle, and Larry Linthicum, ! Harold Rogers and George Hurd. We were guests of Capt. Harry Woodburn | | at Solomons Island and went out in | one of his big boats, with Capt. Dick | Woodburn as guide. We found the water too rough for trolling. We first crossed the bay to Hooper's Island and our lines were soon trolling for blues. Dorothy Smith hooked the first blue. | She had out about 200 feet of line and | Mr. Blue freed himself before he could | be landed. She got another strike and the same thing happened. The | water by this time became very rough | and we decided to move. Miss Smith asked Rogers to reel in her line and in so doing another blue struck. Rogers almost landed this one—got it | along side of the boat and lost it. | We returned to the west side of the bay and fished below Cedar Point RIDAY Capt. Albert Ward at Her- breaking water off the mouth of this popular fishing grounds and being landed in large numbers. He said he had just returned and had landed 39 of these gamesters weigning from 2!, to 4 pounds. There are plenty of blues off Solo- mons Island and a lot of small sea trout are being landed. Capt. Harry ‘Woodburn reports large schools of sea trout in the mouth of the Honga River | on the Eastern Shore. All needed to | have a good catch these days is fairly smooth water. Capt. Robert E. Lee at Shady Side, Md., reports that the blues have been | breaking water in large numbers in his vicinity of the bay. The largest catch last week was 96, On Southwest Middles the anglers are having wonderful sport with big blues, and, igcidentally, a lot of ex- pensive tackle is being lost fishing for these gamesters. Andrew Gemeny fished on these on Thursday landed 21. Fishng Wednesday at the same place Miss E. L. Bean, E.

On Mondsy they landed only | f) nine blues, but on Tuesday they hooked 48 and on Wednesday 37. The fish averaged six pounds and one tipping the scales at 10%. E. W.

JEORGE KNIGHT at Leonardtown ! informs us that, in spite of the intense heat, fishing in the lower Po- tomac was very good last week off Tall Timbers. Blues, sea trout, hard- head and a few rock were among the fish landed. The blues ran from 2 to 4 pounds, the sea trout were of good size, and the rockfish weighed from $ to 10 pounds. “The only change in fishing since last week is that we have had three days with wind from the northeast, high run of tide and water muddy, which, of course, cut down the catch of fish. But with clearing weather we expect better fishing from now on, es- | pecially in the ocean,” A. G. H. Mears at Wachapreague informs us. We also received word that the Fall fishing season soon will start at Ore- gon Inlet, Channel bass or red drum have been landed all during the Sum- high as 30 and 40 to & boat landed in one day. The toll on both bridges has been lifted. Heretofore it cost $1 | to cross the Currituck Bridge and 50 | cents to cross the bridge over Albe- marle Sound, James D. Jarman at Ocean City in- | forms us that the blues are rufining a little larger and being landed weigh- | ing from 1 to 3 pounds. All boats are making heavy catches, anywhere from | 250 to 350, Bay fishing is strong, he | sald, with croakers, trout, whiting, | perch. flounders and stingarees being | and croakers are hitting good from | the fishing pier and fair along the | surf. Channel bass have stopped striking at Fox Hill Levels and it is thought will not be caught again un- til the middle of next month. L In a telegram yesterday from Jar- ' man he said that Francis W. Connick of this city landed an 85-pound mar- lin on light tackle in three-quarters of an hour. The same angler and party also landed 18 dolphin. Paul Townsend landed a 105-pound mar- lin, hooked and lost seven, and sighted eight others. Mayor McCabe of Ocean City, fishing on the Hilda with Capt. Savage, caught 15 dolphin, weighing from 15 to 20 pounds. Solll Solomons Island boat captains are doing their best to show the anglers a good time. Capt. Harry Woodburn teils us he is offering an 8-hour morning fishing trip for $10, the trip. These trips are good any week day, Saturday included. The boats will leave at any time desired by the anglers, but must be back to the wharf at 1 p.m. Capt. George Bowen also wants to show the anglers a good time and is offering a special price for parties of eight or more as follows: Supper, lodg- ing, breakfast, dinner and an 8-hour fishing trip for $5 per person. These | fishing trips can be divided into 4- | hour trips, morning and afternoon. Our report for bass anglers Is rather discouraging.
