O'Donnell Wins 50-Mile
Dash on Ascot Track.
ZiOS ANGELES, March 19. Two
world's records Tor circular mile auto
mobile speedways were established at
the racing- meet at the new Ascot
Speedway here.
Barney Oldfield lowered the world's
record for a mile from a flying start
by almost three-quarters of a second,
and Bob Burman clipped 4 4-5 seconds
off the world's record for the same
distance from a standing start, ac
cording to the official time.
Officials said Oldfield's time for the
mile was 45 seconds flat. The best
previous recora was 45.73 seconds. It
was made at Providence, R. I., by Bur
man. Burman drove a mile from a stand
ing start in 58 1-5 seconds, lowering
the record of one minute and three
seconds, previously held by Louis Dis
brow. The latter's record was made
at St. Louis. Mo.
Both records were made today dur
ing special trials for world's automo
bile speed records.
Eddie O'Donnell won the 50-mile
tweepstakes, which was the feature
event of the day. His time was 43
minutes, 5 seconds. Bob Burman was
second, his time being 43 minutes, 13
seconds. Eddie Pullen finished third,
covering the distance in 44 minutes,
4 2-5 seconds. George Hill was fourth
and R. C. Durant was fifth.
O'Donnell drove the 50 miles with
out making a stop. All the other en
trants were compelled to make one or
more stops.
The Australian pursuit race provided
one of the thrills of the meet, when
the machine driven by James Parsons
crashed into an iron guard rail at the
head of a 15-foot embankment. Par
sons escaped injury but was unable to
continue in the race. A front tire blew
out, causing the machine to skid. The
race was won by Teddy Tetzlaff. His
time was 3 minutes, 41 seconds. F. B.
Elliott was second.
Tetzlaff also won the 10-mile race
for small cars, making the distance in
9 minutes 4 4 3-5 seconds. M. Mahoney
was second and R. C. Durant was
third.
NAVY TAKES VP TRAPSHOOTIXG
Teams From Warships to Compete at
Traps Aboard Vessels.
Trapshooting has become such a part
of the United States Navy since the ad
vent of the hand trap, which permits
the shooting of targets on ship board,
that teams on the ships comprising the
Atlantic squadron will engage in the
first annual trapshooting championship
of the United States Navy, Atlantic
fleet, at GuanUnumo Bay, Cuba, on
iiarch 25.
The shoot is registered under the
auspices of the Interstate Association
for the Encouragement of Traapshoot
lng, and will be managed by the offi
cers of the Red Cross Gun Club of the
IT. S. S. Solace.
The Red Cross Club of the Solace is
the pioneer gun club of the Navy. The
Solace on its trip from New York to
. San Francisco to the Panama-Pacific
Exposition through the Panama Canal
carried several dozen hand traps, so
that the officers and men could enjoy
the exhilarating sport of trapshooting
at sea. Since then thousands of private
yachts, ocean' greyhounds and the most
common ships that travel the briny
deep never leave port without plenty
of hand traps. Trapshooting isn't con
fined to the "landlubber" by any means.
It is only a matter of time when trap
shooting will be one of the main amuse
ments of ocean travel.
This shoot, however, will not be held
on the water, for there will be too
many contestants. It is expected that
more than a thousand officers and men
will participate in the championship,
for everyone connected with the At
lantic squadron is eligible.
Since the formation of the Red Cross
Gun Club on the U. S. S. Solace, gun
flubs have been formed on the U. S. S.
Wyoming, U. S. S. Texas, U. S. S. Cum
berland. U. S. S. Cheyenne and U. S. S.
Vermont. Trapshooting, as a sport, has
made greater progress in the United
States Navy than among the clubs on
land, possibly, because nearly every one
In the Navy understands the handling
of firearms. It is the desire of everyone
to shoot accurately, too, and in trap
shooting it is not a difficult matter to
find out just how steady one is, for the
hand and the eye must work in unison.
This is the most important tourna
ment, in a trapshooting way, that has
ever been scheduled, because it has
great possibilities, both for the sport
and the Javy.

Th Angels chalked up the- second
victory of the season against a foreign
fQe today by walloping the Chocolate
Shop nine from Los Angeles on the

RUDIMENTS ABE TAUGHT
COACH SMITH GIVES BERKELEY
MI5X FOOTBALL A. B. C.'.
Tackling Dummy Worked Overtime
and First Principles Are Empha
sized in Spring Gridiron Training-
BAN FRANCISCO. March 19. Close to
100 aspirants for football honors at
the University of California are under
going their preliminary Spring training
under the tutelage of Andy Smith,
former University of Pennsylvania star,
and now coach for the blue and gold.
The Berkeley collegians are getting
their first taste' of what it really means
to be thoroughly taught the A. B. C.'s
of the game, and the tackling dummy is
being worked overtime, something that
was overlooked in the Coach Schaefer
regime, and lack of which was held
largely responsible for the overwhelm
ing defeat of the local collegians last
Fall at the hands of the University of
Washington.
Smith appears to he thorough In his
work, and it seems likely that little
besides the mere rudiments of the game
will get any attention before the Fall
season opens. Smith has some bits of
advice for his proteges which are In
teresting. Here are some of them:
"Dont criticise a coach for partiality
He is too selfishly anxious to attain
success to place an inferior man on
his team. He would play his worst
enemy to win a game for him.
"If a coach bawls you out. take It as
a compliment. He wouldn't bother to
talk to you if he thought that you were
no good. 'Bawl-outs' go to the man
whom the coach thinks may make good.
Personality does not figure.
A coach picks a football player more
for his fighting ability than for all
other assets together. Courage is the
first requisite. 1 rate playing ability
at 40 per cent, and fighting ability at
60 per cent."

K in no Ti and Kendall.
NEW YORK, March 19. Jess Wil
lard, satisfied with his condition, said
today he was physically fit to enter the
ring at any moment to defend his title
of world's heavyweight champion. He
did not take any exercise today except
a walk of three and a half miles. The
big Kansan rested quietly at his up
town quarters.
For the last three or four days Wil
lard has been speeding up gradually
in iiis boxing bouts with his partners,
and for the next five days he intends
to take on each of his sparring aids
for at least three rounds. He has
taken off much useless weight by his
active gym work, and yesterday tipped
the scales at 251 pounds. He expects
to enter the ring weighing about 248
pounds.
Moran put in one of the busiest ses
sions of his training at his Westches
ter camp. This morning, after a cross
country run of four miles, he had made
up his mind to take it easy, but a host
of his newsboy friends from the city
appeared and he was unable to resist
the earnest requests to let them see
him work out.
He donned his training clothes and
punched the bag for fully 10 minutes,
and then skipped the rope for five
more. " The newsboys cheered, and in
response to their entreaties Moran
boxed five rounds. In which he took
on Madden, McKinnon and Kendall at
a lively pace.
After a rubdown Moran told the hoy3
of his confidence of being able to de
feat Willard next Saturday.

BECKETT TO TURN OUT
HUSKY SIX-FOOTER WILL BE ON
MOUND FOR OREGON.
Johnny Has Plenty of Speed and Coach
Bezdek Expects Him to
Make Good.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
March 19. fSpecial.) That Johnny
Beckett, famous in football circles and
and captain of the varsity fotball team
for next season, will appear in a base
ball suit this week for regular prac
tice, announced Coach Hugo Bezdek
yesterday. Johnny will be used as a
pitcher. He is a big fellow and has
plenty of speed. Bezdek expects him to
make good.
With Beckett on the firing line, this
will give the coach three big. husky,
six-foot lads for mound duty. Bill
Tuerck and Dick Nelson are the others,
also fotball men. And with "Scoop"
Rathbun backing these three up, the
coach is turning his attention to other
parts of the team for building and bol
stering. Laird Woods will be used in right
field. This is his first year, but he
has been receiving favorable comment
from Bezdek for his great showing.
Jimmy Sheehy, whom the coach calls
his "old stand-by, will be in center
field, while in left field will be "Doc"
Medley. Third base will be occupied by
Harold Maison. Anse Cornell, captain,
will be seen again at his place at short,
Walter Grebe on second and Joe Mc
Lean on first. Either Jake Risley or
Shy Huntington wilL do the receiving
duties. The chances are that Shy will
be the one picked, for Bezdek is in
clined to think that Shy has it over
Risley.
Municipal Golf Links
BY F. C. HARRINGTON.
Secretary Park Board.
No. 13 Kansas City.
TTTE have a nine-hole public
golf
VV course at present and an 18-hoIe
affair under advisement. The Park
Board, with its committee of golfers,
park engineer and golf expert, went
over the Swope Park tract recently in
me hope of finding a suitable location
for the proposed 18-hole public golf
it.ks, dui as yet no report has been
made.
The cost of maintaining the present
nine-hole course is but $289.59.. We do
not charge the players a penny to use
the grounds and the only charge that
is made is for locker rent, whic.i
amounts to $3 a year. As for the num
ber of players who make the rounds
yearly it is impossible for me to "tell,
but every , good, day finds the links
crowded. This is one reason why an
other public course is being figured on.
Kansas City expects to enter several
players in the inter-city tournament at
St. Louis next month. There are a couple
of golfers here playing on the public
course who are able to hold their own
with most of the private club athletes
and for this reason the Park Board
expects their men "to bring home the
bacon" from St. Louis.
At present the only drawback to the
public links is the greens. They are
rather poor ju3t now, but efforts are
being made to revive them and it will
not be long until we will have Just aj
nice greens as the now famous 6t.

SEATTLE, Wash., March 19. The
proposed race between the Stanford
and Washington freshman eight-oared
crews when the two varsity eights
meet here April 8 has been vetoed by
Hiram B. Conibear, director of aquatics

CRAFT TO LOAD GRAIN HERE
Cargo Is En Koufo From Calcutta
After Being Requisitioned and
Later Released toy Admiralty.
Bonchamp Sails Shortly.
That the) British steamer King Mal
colm, now four days out from Calcutta
en route for San Francisco, has been
booked for grain-loading nere by Bal

which was given out yesterday in ma
rine circles. The vessel will be dis
patched from here to the United King
dom, it is understood.
The King Malcolm is a vessel of
2828 tons. She should be available for
comparatively early loading, as she will
be dispatched here Immediately after
discharging cargo at San Francisco.
The steamer now has aboard 32,000,-
000 yards of burlap for use in making
grain bags, which is consigned to some
of the Middle Western cities.
While lying at Calcutta the King
Malcolm was requisitioned by the Brit
ish government and her charter or
dered canceled on the ground that the
vessel might be needed for military
cargo, and she should consequently not
be sent so far -from the scene of pos
sible need. Later, however, this action
of the Admiralty was rescinded and the
vessel was allowed to proceed.
The charter of the King Malcolm
makes a total of five vessels now en
route here for grain-loading.
The work of loading the Norwegian
bark Musselcrag at the North Bank
dock will be started this morning. The
vessel is to be loaded by Strauss
Co., and will be dispatched to the United
Kingdom. The French bark Bonchamp,
which has been taking on grain at the
North, Bank dock, has completed her
cargo, and is expected to get out of
tho river in a few days.
