Staral Will the 600 mUe race on May SO bring forth a new driver, flashing like a comet across the speed horizon? Will one of the old line drivers rise to his opportunity and convince the world that with comparative racing age the lead still stays In his foot? Or will all the fast drivers shoot their bolt while the race Is not far gone, leaving some old tortoise of the roaring road to come ambling In after the rabbita have run their feet off? The world loves a winner. It Is true, and with a race won and a little time past, the world is not too critical as to how It was won. But by the.

same token one can mention the winner under such clrcumstanoes and receive only a blank stare, for the name has made. no Impression. vXlookle Drivers TVln. There is always a chance, that some lad from Hhe sticks, may come alone and show the old lads something. Tommy MUton did it at one time, Jimmy Murphy did It a while later.

Then from the time of Murphy's death in September, 182, untu May or 192S, there was more or less of a blank. And on May JO there burst on a speed mad world at Indianapolis Prank Lockhart. little' more 'than a kid in knee pants.

Big Leon himself will pilot one of them: Tony Ouiotta one, while the third has not been announced publicly, though the grape ylne intelligence department has put out the news. Leon holds the one lap and the four lap records.

made last year when he shot his black front drive around the course at 124.01$ and 122.291 miles respectively. If Leon can get a car to stay in one piece for him he will finish at a high average. He never has for any length of time, but tnls year may be his year and if It is the average will a spurt over 100.

XJng George today bestowed pea bias the aeeolade ef knighthood se a reward for his fameas aatomobilo and meterbeat speed feats la the United States, The major was the first man honored by the king in person since hia majesty's recent illness. King George were morning drees. As Major Segrave knelt before him, a sword was handed to the king by an attendant and hie majesty then towchod the major ea the right shoulder saying: "Blse, Sir Henry." After the ceremony Major Sir Henry Segrave spent seme time with the king, telling hint about his American trip and his speed feats there. Afterwards Ir Henry was presented to Qoeen Mary and had laneh at Craigwell house. i.

i i Rod and Gun fBy Baaiboo Bob Pence, local angler, who Brides himself on his ability as a bait caster and a gogetter when it comes to bringing home his share of the game xisn each season, at present is busy trying to explain to his friends the how come" ox a WUl Roe era stunt he pulled on a recent fishing trip. Ordinarily Pence does not fool around with live bait when there are waters that look as if they might produce results worthwhile with a bait casting rod, but on this trip with a party of friends who were bait fisher men. Pence aid not have any luck with his casting outfit and so concluded to have a try with the live bait. Rigging up an outfit, live minnow and all. he proceeded to get busy.

Be did not have to wait long for results, for the minnow had bars ly settled down toward the bottom of tha stream when, to the surprise of himself and friends, he got a run tnat maae the reel nowi. pence Immediately got into action and at the first slow down of the line struck his fish and began to retrieve his line, though the actions of the seemed to be strangely in reverse of what is expected of a hooked bass, with the fish making dashes first to one side of a semi circle and then to the other, alwaya going out. Much to Pence's surprise when he got the fish In close enough to be seen, it was coming In backward. He finally landed li and found his bait and sinker hanging down over the side ot the fish, with his line secure in a per fect half hitch Just above Its taO. Pence is now laying claim to being the first angler ever to "rope" a fish In true Will Rogers style, With the approach of the spawning season the troubles of the game wardens begin to assume businesslike proportions.

There ia always a tempta tion to some persons to snare biacK bass off their nests In the shallow water regardless of the effect their act has on the several thousands of embryo game fish which the parent fish Is zealously guarding and protecting against the thousand and one menaces to their well being that In habit the It Is this class of poacher that the game wardens have to be on the lookout for all during the six weeks of close season. This season more than ever the wardens have been Instructed to be on the lookout for such depredations and to give no Quarter, regardless of the alibis that may be offered by those taken up for the violation of the fish and game code. Sportsmanship is at low ebb in this class of violators, so there will be.no hesitancy In rnsklng prosecutions of the guilty. Did you ever talk "shop" to an old time fly fisherman? Try It once and see the difference in anglers. If you strike up conversation In regard to tackle with a bait caster you will hear nothing but rods and reels.

With the fry fisherman things are different. He may casually mention the rod. but the main topic will be lures, and more lures. He will tell you something about every fly he has In his book. the fine points of this or that fly and the whys and wherefore of the colors and shapes and just why certain flies command the attention of certain species of fish, and he will, at times, take exceptions to certain Ideas ot angling as exemplified by Izaak Walton, He will go through the list of names, of flies from Silver Doctor.

Parmanchee Belle, Coachman. Red Ibis and on down tbe line like a Chocktaw Indian reading the Declaration of Independence and when the list has been completed, unless you. too, are Imbued with the same spirit, you wul wonder what It Is all shout. The fly fisherman truly is In a class all hia own.
