This edict however, may account for some of the heretofore unknown names that appear in varlous line. ups—tor boys will be boys. The New Britaln Tennis clubd is certainly making & bid for success.

And it's also a safe bet that newspapers will never pay him $10,000 a year and better to write his movie experience, as they do for his articles on tennis. For the first time in the flop- eared, non.skid history of wrestling the game has a Big Munn instead of a Big Bum as its champlon. Big Munn is a large muscular pro- duct of the wide-open collegiate spaces of Nebraska where men are men and, oddly enough, so are the wrestlers,” c The new ace in the flop-'em-and- hop-'em deck is a highbrow who has the low down on the gentle science of bone-crushing. Big Munn is very collegiate and alwvays wears his halt Nelson at a rakish angle. The class of '22 still talks about how he shocked the junior prom by appearing in a double-breasted head lock and a bright red scissors hold. The Man Mountain is the only guy known to the Academy of Higher Arts who ever thréw a champion out ot the ring, his senses, his title and a European tour, all with one dell- cate gesture of the micrometer, When Mr, Lewis regained con- sclousness he wanted to know if the wemen and children had been saved and if the interne would Kindly lift that locomotive oft his -left ear, pleace.

Dorando, great Ttallan distance runner of several years ago who collapsed at the Olymple games and was dragged over the finish line by officlals, obtained one record when he came to America that so far has eluded Nurmi.

Captain Leavitt and his corps of divers were reported to have worked “as though in daylight, at a depth of 318 feet,” using high-pressure diving suite of the captain's inven- tion and pressure-resisting deep sea lights. “It is Captain Leavitt’s ambition next to the salvage the $4,000,000 to §6,000,000 of treasure that lles in the sunken hull of the Lusi- tania,” the company said. The Blakely was purchased from the shipping board and outfitted with the Lusitania job in view, but it was decldéd to glve the diving ap- paratus and lights a preliminary test on the Cape Horn wreckage, Sailing froem IHampton Roads last winter, the Blakeley's crew lo- cated the wreck of the Cape Horn in 217 feet of water outside the port cf Pinchidangni.

A score or more of news reels and army movie camerameh | were set to catch every detail of the | movement of the plane and its de- structive dash with normal speed and | slow motjon cameras. \ Thess films will be used by offi- | clals of the engineering division of | the army alr service to construct a theory against fires and explosions following plane crashes. Following the clearing of the wreckage of the first plane, two more were sent down the ekidway in vapid succession, The second was a training ship, and the third an old/ pursuit plane. | Thrills were plentiful in the test crashes yesterday. Obstructions at| the base of the runway caused the| planes to capsize, leap and dive into' the wall.
