BOB BURMAN SETS
NEW.WORLirS MARI
Mile on Oval Dirt Track Is
Traversed by Speed King
in 48.1 Seconds.
CROWD OF 5000 SEES RUN
Record Is Out by More Than Half
Second Autoist Clings to Fence
Around Country Club Track
During Wild Dash.
Once again has "Wild Bob" Bur
man kept his word. Far more than
that did ho do, though, for on the
Country Club track yesterday he shat
tered his own world's record for one
mile, flying start, by literally throwing
himself round the oval course in 'the
time of 48 1-10 seconds. On Saturday
he had done the mile in 49 2-5 seconds,
and while promising to do under 49,
had admitted he did not think he
could lower his own previous best of
48.62 made at Brighton Beach on a
circular track on Labor day, Septem
ber 2 of last year.
There were some motorcycles racing
around the track almost before the
scheduled time of starting; there was
another exhibition mile by Tony Jean
ette. in which he lowered his time of
yesteroay by 2 3-5 seconds, steering the
great yellow car .around in 54 seconds
flat; another motorcycle race, and then
Burman pulled the 200-horsepower
Benz, No. 1, to the track.
As they let the huge car go. Bob
was still fixing his goggles, cleaning
off the dirt. Grasping the wheel Just
before he got to the turn he tried the
car out on the back stretch and got
off to a good flying start. Getting all
he could out 'of the white streak he
tore round, the engine working smooth
ly, the track in good shape. At the
half mile he was ahead of the previ
ous day's record in the 300-horsepower
car and when he shot past the win
ning post he had done 49 flat, or 2-5
of a second better than he had done
the day before in the higher powered
monster.
Race Starts tn Silence.
There was a roar of cheering from
5000 spectators and Moross' voice was
heard in stentorian tones. "Burman
will now give an exhibition mile in
an attempt to lower his own world's
record of 48.62 seconds." For a mo
ment there was a buzz of voices and as
the mechanicians dragged the 300
horsepower Blltzen Benz to the start
ing point the noise died away and
there was a dead silence.
.Burman broke the quiet with his
hammer, funnily enough, for as he
opened, the hood, and commenced to tune
the great thing up, to add a dash of
oil here, to tinker with a nut there, the
talk began again. Then as he put
back the hood and Janette and Benedict
started to crank her the uncanny
aiience once more leu on the crowd.
Smoothly he slid away, hatless and
nothing but a mud-stained oily suit
of overalls to protect him. beyond his
goggles. Gently he took the first round
to drive from his mind all impressions
save that or the race and the track
save the signal that he would not go
the second time round, and then opened
her up to see if the motor was alright.
People stood up in the grandstand
and on the cars craning their necks to
watch for the wave of his hand that
meant "alright." About 75 yards away
his hand shot up in the air, the red
flag shot out signifying a start and
Burman was oft.
Fence Almost Shaved.
Right out on the extreme edge of the
track he tore away, then slid, across
the turn, the inside wheels in the air.
That put him right for the back stretch
and the crowd, fascinated, had their
eyes glued on the white torpedo as she
sucked up the ground, seemingly, with
no effort at all. The second turn, the
worse of the two, was taken in just
the same way, right up on the fence, a
few Inches from It and again no brakes
at all, merely a rapid turn of the great
car ngni across me Dene
Lost for a second in the dust, the car
snone up again at the entrance of the
straight, the roar of the engine grew
louder and louder, all that could be
seen was a hazy vision of a sham
nosed white thing with a black blur for
the pilot and. in the Intake of a breath
the throbbing machine crept up to the
grandstand, passed it in a huge leap
and Burman had smashed his old
record and made a new one.
The official timekeepers compared
tnerr watches. Three made It 48 1-10
the fourth made it 48 flat, while two
unofficial watches also made it 48 1-10.
Tnen C. J. Cook roared the result
through his megaphone. The crowd
cheered to the echo, but reserved their
best effort for the silent, modest man
who was bringing his machine back
Then they let loose, Burman smiled
for the first time as he heard the re
sult and then went back to look after
nis car.
Janette Defeats Benedict.
There were -other races, especially
one between Janette and Benedict
two-mile standing start which was full
of thrills, as there is no love lost be
tween the cool calculating Tony
Janette and young Ed Benedict, with
his spurs to win. Janette won in
minute 53 seconds, but had all his
work cut out despite the fact that
Benedict had only three cylinders
working, for the young boy took the
turns more recklessly than had been
seen Deiore.
As exhibitions of speed the other
races were all that could be desired,
for in the three-mile handicap Bur
man, from scratch, covered the thre
laps in only 2 minutes 46 seconds, or
faster than has ever been done on the
trade Deiore.
Burman won both heats of the flying
three-mile race, Harry Brandt took
both heats in the motorcycle three
mile In 3:06 and 3:14, with C. A. Hun
second in both, and then Brandt di
an exniomon mile. The auto polo,
aiter me rea car nad turned righ
over in the first period and had led
by one goal to nothing in second, had
to be abandoned, as the blue car brok
a crank shaft. Rudy Getz came to th
rescue with an exhibition of turns,
skias and curves in the little car, an
just as tne races finished the rain,
wnicn naa lauen lightly, came dow
heavily.

game, and has fanned only 49 batters,
yet he has been scored on for an av
erage of only 2.24 runs to the game.

BUD" IN FINE FETTLE
AXBEpSOX GIVES LIVELY EX
HIBITION' OF HIS PROWESS.
Vancouver Boxer Weighs 137
Pounds With Five More Days to
Train Hand in Good Shape.
LOS ANGELES, June 29. (Special.)
Before a large crowd of fans at Venice
Bud Anderson, the Vancouver, Wash.,
terror, today boxed eight rounds. He
went at a fast clip all the way, rushing
his sparring partners, Freddie Ander
son, Harry Atwood. "Bud" Boyd and
George Moss round the ring, and gave
the fight-loving people a good chance
to get a line on his condition and
form.
He promised to show his best, and he
did not go back on his word, unbut
toning a few fisticuffs of the first-class
brand, and showed why he is dubbed
the hardest-hitting lightweight and the
most dangerous in the game today.
He started the afternoon with his
brother for two rounds and then took
on Atwood and Boyd and Moss for two
rounds.- All the celebrities. Kid Wil
liams, Joe Mandot and Campi were
present and declared that "Bud" was in
fine condition and should give Leach
Cross the hardest fight of his life.
Manager Dick Donald said that An
derson could not be in better shape.
"My boy is in the best shape, he is
already a bit below 137 and has still
five more days to train.
"We are not worrying about the
weight, but are leaving this entirely
with trainer Karl Mohan. He sat 'Bud
on the scales at weight to the ounce
for Mandot and he will do It again.'
When asked concerning the report
that Bud had broken his hand he said:
"Bud" hurt his hand in the seventh
round of his go with Joe. Mandot. He
cracked this hand again while doing
stage work in the North, but It has
mended nicely. We keep it bandaged
that
started the broken hand report."

Weight, Taken in Public, Is 136 1-2
Pounds Ritchie Takes It Easy
and Says He Weighs 13 6.
SAN FRANCISCO. June 29. (Spe
cial.) Joe P.lvers looks fit to climb
through the ropes today. If that were
necessary, to contest for the light
weight championship of the world.
In the Seal Rock pavilion, crowded
with 1400 enthusiasts, a number of
whom were women, and working In a
gymnasium so overburdened with to
bacco smoke that It was disagreeable
even for the spectators, the Los An
geles boxer worked for three-quarters
of an hour, boxed six rounds, and
showed perfect condition. He perspired
of course, as he should perspire, but
his wind was as right as it could be
and he didn't draw a long breath for
all his exertions.
Later, upstairs in his dressing
rooms, as unconcerned as if tho future
held nothing in store for him. Rivers
stepped on the scales for the first time
in public, and showed that he could
raise the lever at just 136 V4 pounds.
Manager Joe Levy adjusted the
scales, showed that they balanced cor
rectly, and then fixed them at the
notch. He guessed just right, for the
beam tilted slowly.
"That's the first time outside an of
ficial weighing that a newspaper man
ever saw Kivers weigh." said Levy.
It hasn t been our custom, but since
the people of San Francisco seem to
like to know, I wanted to satisfy
them. It will be easy to take him
down from that weight, but I want to
do it gradually, half a pound at a
time."
Champion F.itchie packed 'em In" at
San Rafael today. and those who
couldn't find accommodations inside
the gymnasium propped themselves on
boxes outside the windows and peeked
at what was going on. It was the
first really warm afternoon that Ritchie
has found at the Marin County quar
ters, and that doubtless accounted for
his taking things rather easily. Then,
too, he is doubtless anxious to hold
his weight as much as possible.
Ritchie's work Included two rounds
each with Eddie Miller, Henry Hlckey
and Phil Noonan. Joe Azevedo was
bothered with a split lip and was ex
cused from action.
Tom Corbett and Jimmy Britt were
among the spectators.
Ritchie's weight was announced at
136 pounds.

Harry Ostdiek, for three and one
half years manager of the Spokane
Indians, is the latest to throw his hat
into the ring as a Northwestern
League umpire.
Fielder A. Jones, president of the
Class B circuit, returned yesterday
from a hurried jaunt to Spokane with
the announcement that he had appoint
ed Ostdeik to the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Eddinger and later
Xordyke.
Ostdiek is an experienced baseball
man and President Jones believes he
will have to make no further changes
on his staff of indicator holders. Casey
and Toman are giving excellent satis
faction around the circuit, but the
third job has been as sort of "off ag'in,
on acr'in" proposition.
While at Spokane Ostdiek won one
pennant and finished second three
times. He resigned the management a
few weeks ago when he received a
tip that Magnate Joe Cohn was con

Williams received a telegram from
Walter McCredle yesterday offering to

enough. Tonneman Is the receiver re

woefully.
Tonneman will return with the Beav

James McGuire. Detroit scout, will
be in our midst for a full week. He
arrived yesterday from the South and
watched the final Portland-Vancouver
double-header. McGuire says he saw
nothing in California that looked like
Ty Cobb in embryo, although It was
reported that he had signed a couple
of California State League bushers.
Jennings' Ivory hunter had little to
give out on the big league races. If
you will but take a few squints at the
Tigers' position in the percentage table
you will not drop dead at his sepulchral
silence. In a reckless moment Scout
James vouchsafed the prediction that
Cleveland "will be a first division
team." He has not seen Bill Steen
twirl. Vltt is doing valiant work for
Detroit.
Despite their erratic fielding In the
final brace of games, the Portland
Colts left home prime favorites with
local fans. Nick's team won four in
five from Spokane and three in five
from Vancouver, drawing somewhat
closer to second place.
Peters hit only .117 In the two scries
but gives promise of picking up with
the willow. The work of the three
gardeners, Hellmann, Melchoir and
Fitzgerald, should not be overlooked tn
the infield laudatory press-agentlng
These three are hitting in the runs and
fielding just as sensationally as their
brethren of the inner works.
