RIB IPS FURRIERS Villi CI III CROWDED OUT New Champion Tells of Plan to Make Title Safer. By GAR WOOD, World's Speedboat Record Holder.

(Copyright, 1932, by Associated Press) MIAMI BEACH, Jan. 27. (AP) Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown is an old saying. But I believe it. For the world's speed crown is tottering on my head with a margin of only half a mile an hour keeping it in place.

It isn't enough to give me a peaceful feeling. Of course I am delighted that we were able to send Miss America IX over the nautical mile straightaway over Indian creek Wednesday at a speed of 110.78 mile3 an hour, Just enough to beat the British record of 110.223 miles an hour. But I am not satisfied. So within a few days we will try again to set a newer and faster record. I feel confident that we will be able to increase the speed at least one mile per hour.

It is necessary to run one nautical mile In each direction of the course and average the epeed of the two runs to determine a record. On our first run, Wednesday morning, which was south and against the elements, we traveled 111.08 miles an hour. According to all experiences we should have ct least half a mile an hour faster on the northwbound trip, when the elements should have favored us. Instead we were slower. Our speed was 110.49 mllss an hour.

The southbound run was negotiated without any difficulty. But on the northbound tun the boat was as Jumpy as a bucking broncho. Orlln Johnson, my riding mechanic, was nearly thrown from the boat several times. Several times the boat Jumped its length. This, we was because the bow of the boat did not settle on a level with the water while we running at high speed.

It is the same as a warped board, although in the boat it is a matter of a fraction of an inch. We are now placing weights on the bow of the boat to bend it back into shape. Then we will run again. And I am hopeful that the average will be above the 111-mlle-an-hour mark. Orlln Johnron end I each have a stopwatch at our side in the boat, and we time each run.

Wednesday we timed ourselves riding faster than the electrical timing device which recorded the run. But the timing device is more accurate than we are. Maybe it Just seemed faster to us. BREAKS SPEED MONOPOLY. New York, Jan.

'27. P) Gar Wood's record -breaking run of 110.78 miles an hour in his Miss America IX at Miami Beach Wednesday breaks an English monopoly on speed they have held since Kaye Don set the world's speed boat mark at Lake Garda, Italy, last July. England holds the land speed record of 245.733 miles an hour set at Daytona Eeach last spring by Sir Malcolm Campbell in his Bluebird racing car and the air speed record of 379.05 miles an hour, set last summer by G. H. Stalnforth of the British navy.

And the Bambino was in an uncertain mood because he had two and one half more miles to pump. His com' paratlvely skinny, pink legs were going up and down like pistons; his pug-nosed face was flushed from ex ertion and his heavy white sweater was wringing with perspiration.

"But what about your salary The reporter started to get right down to business. "Aw Nertz," ejaculated the Babe. Then the well known face -mellowed into a smile. The big fellow said he was sorry and explained that "this velocipede" got on his nerves some times. He assured that he was con.

The Babe pedalled a moment in silence, then countered with, "well, I'm not saying I wouldn't." America's outstanding diamond luminary recently mailed back to the Yankees his unsigned 1932 contract. The contract had contained a salary cut of $10,000 from the $80,000 annual stipend he had received under his previous two-year contract.

When he dropped the contract in the mail box, the Babe told newspaper men he would not take $70,000 on a one-year contract. He said he might take that sum on a two-year contract. The Yankees' offer had been, for one year. The reporter asked Ruth if his salary slash statement Wednesday referred to a one-year contract. "Oh, well I guess so." He responded.

Wrigley was more than frUndly with the players on his club and would overlook almost anything but failure to keep in their best playing condition.

In anything but uncertain terms Wrigley said he wanted Wilson traded or sold and it was done.

PLANS KRESS FOR CAGE MEET Battalino Title Is Lost on Scales Before Bout. Music Hall, Cincinnati, Ohio, Jan. 27. OJ.R) In a scc-ne of wild confusion in an edifice dedicated to one of the finer arts, the world's featherweight title bout between Chrlstophsr (Bat) Battalino of Hartford, and Freddie Miller, Cincinnati southpaw, was declared "no contest" in the third round Wednesday night by Referee Lou Bauman.

Battalino, weighing 129 pounds, officially lost his title on the Cincinnati commission scales Wednesday arternoon. but Miller, weighing 122 ft pounds, had a chance to capture the crown by winning Wednesday night. Obviously weakened by his vain attempt to make the featherweight limit of 128 pounds, Battalino appeared only a shell of his usual self In the first two rounds. After a furious exchange at close quarters early in the third round, Battalino slumped to the canvas on his knees. He did not attempt to claim a foul, but he appeared to have been hurt about the stomach from cne of Miller's slugs to the body.

The referee had counted to eight when Battalino struggled to his leet and attempted ta defend himself. Bauman Refuses to Count. Miller was moving In for a knockout when Battalino went down for the second time, apparently without being hit. Referee Bauman turned his back on the fallen fighter and walked to a corner, refusing to count over Battalino. After leaning over the ropss and addressing a message to one of the boxing commissioners, the referee returned to where Battalino lay and ordered him to get up and resume fighting.

Battllno was down about 40 seconds this time, but was still dazed when he gained his feet. After an exchange Battalino again went down from a body blow, landing on all fours. Again Referee Bauman refused to count over him. The referee walked to Miller's corner, spread the ropes apart and crawled out of the ring. With seconds of both fighters climbing on the outer edges of the ring, both contestants resumed fighting without a referes.

Finally Hy Mal-loy, BatUllno'e manager, reached Battalino and led him to his corner. Fans Get Money Back. Presently Carl Wiizbach, president of the Cincinnati boxing commission, crawled Into the ring and announced over the amplifiers "we are prepared for this situation, I declare the bout no contest and any fan wanting his money back can collect it by present ing his etub at the box office." Commissioner Wiizbach announced after the bout that neither contest ant would be paid. Battalino was to receive 37ft per cent and Miller 1214 Ted Graham, Cincinnati light heavyweight, knocked out Speedy Webb, Indianapolis, in four seconds of the first round.

Chicago, Jan. 27. VP) The Job of making the Chicago Cubs baseball champions of the world William wrlgley's most cherished dream has been left to his son, Phil K.

While there is no definite Information concerning the disposal of Wrlgley's vast fortune, his controlling share In the Cubs is believed certain to go to his son. Phil himself a sports enthusiast, already become president of the Wrigley gum interests. Wrigley was busy Just before his fatal illness, planning ways and means of realizing his dream of seeing the Cubs win a world championship, and thus wipe out the memories bitter ones to him of the club's failure to win in 1918 and 1929, after conquering the National league. From the time he became associated with major league basebaU In 1915, Wrigley wanted a championship team, and nearly $6,000,000 was poured into the club toward that purpose. Manager followed manager Fred Mitchell, Johnny Evers, Bill Killlfer, Rabbit Maranville and George Gibson, until Joe McCarthy was brought up from the Louisville club of the American association.

McCarthy delivered to the extent of steering the Cubs to the National league championship in 1929. This outfit won only one game from the Philadelphia Athletics, and after the team finished in second place in 1930, Rogers Hornsby became McCarthy's successor. Wrigley personally had handled the deal which brought Hornsby to the Cubs from the Boston Braves, and it was the most stupendous deal in baseball history. Around $250,000 in money and players were turned over to Judge Emil Fuchs, owner of the Eraves. in return for Hornsby's services.
