Main Vpitairi FANDOM AT RANDOM By DICK APPLRGATB No 15-year-old kid ever mora dill gently examined hla phiz each morn ing for the first signs of that bud ding fuzz which presagea a manly beard than has Coach Bill Bower- man In scanning the new grass aown football field at the high school. Now a. faint trace of green plush is making Itself visible, and with the present weather, should blossom Into a full blown lawn, ready for the razor. In another few weeks. The field looks swell. There are a few spot where the seed ' hasn't yet discovered that spring la here, but these, Bower man as sures ns, will stop their sulking In short order and the bald spots will disappear. The field has a nlre curving rise for drain age purpose which somehow lenrttt the appearance of far greater size than the old saw dust field on Second street. The almost hrlrk-red running track that circles It also lends size, and finish to the picture. Nobody believes yesterday's asser tion here that the fastest pace a human ever traveled through mus cular effort was the time L. Vander- stuyft, riding si bicycle, negotiated 70 miles, 603 yards in one hour, while paced with motorcycles in Paris. Not that anyone believes that record waa ever superceded. They Just don't believe any guy riding a bicycle could get around that fast. Well, we don't either, as far as that goes, but the All Sports record book, published by Frank O. Menke at 223 East 49th street (10th floor) In New York city, asserts that It Is so. The book Is supposed to be the bible for such things. We're dropping them a line and asking them what the catch Is, If any. The book la full of such records. None that we could find was quite a astounding as hat one (the ob Moua reason why t was picked) but ;here are lota more .hat are all but unbelievable. For instance, Mr, Men Insists that bord Walslngham of England shot 1068 grouse In U hours, 18 minutes, averaging 100 shots an hour, on August 30, 1888. Two years later, according to the same authority, Dr. F. W. Carver of Hamburg, broke 1000 glass bulla In 34 minutes, using six repeating rlflea which assistants kept loaded. And Fred Jones, 17-year-old Florida University student, haa a mark of 300 out of a possible 400, with a rifle. Here's another goofy game- the book has uncovered. In Wales the men, at least some of them, In dulge In a sprightly pastime known as "purring." We see nothing to purr about, since two combatants, wearing heavy boots, put their heads together, hands on shoulders, and upon a signal, proceed to kick each other In the ahlns. The first one to holler "uncle" loses the match, but saves some of the hide on hla gams. In this country a similar game la played, but is known as dancing. Mr. Menke glvea no record on this pastime. He does point out that Sheldon Lejune, whoever he Is, once heaved a baseball 428 feet, B'i Inches. That's an Interesting record. It would prob ably have been more interesting could he have explained why Mr. Lejune threw a baseball that far. He also says that Roy Llndberg ot Rlchvale, California, picked 100 tur keys in 1033. In one day. This Isn't ao hard to believe. In fact, we think we had one of the turkeys.

I E (By the Associated Press.) Coast league baseball fane got all of the fight they have been yelling for, and so did Umpire Paul Oensh lea. It all happened In Emeryville yes terday aa the Portland Beavera and the Oakland Acorns battled through 15 Innings before the Beavera won, 7-S. Gensblea, who says good ball playera don't crab, got his share of fight, pop bottles and cushions In the twelfth when he ran Jack Glynn out of the game because the Oak right fielder protested too vigorously sgalnst his decision. Three policemen pro tected Oenshlea from a threatened Acorn barrage. ' Glynn singled In the ninth to drive In two nine and tie the game, after the stage waa set by Dixie Howell's error. In the fiery lath the former Alabama football flash squared ac counts by robbing the Oaks of vic tory with a great one-hand catch of Bolyard'a liner back of aecond. 8t. Louis' beardless Senators at Sacramento got the strlngfellow bshlt yesterday and helped Seattle to a 9-3 victory with six errors. Shortstop Sid Strlngfellow set the pace with two bobbles, bringing his average back to an even error a game. The Indians did their share by pounding three Sacramento curlers for 18 hits. It waa the Tribe's seventh successive victory. The San Francisco Missions evened their series with Los Angeles' Angels, winning 8-2 behind the stead; hurl ing of Otho Nltcholas, who got two bits for himself In his two times up. The San Francisco Seals combined four San Diego errors with 11 hits off 41-year-old Herman Plllett to win from the Padres 8-2. The standings: Club- W. L.

Chandler Egan By this time I suppose everybody In golf will have had hla say about H. Chandler Egan, the two-time na tional champion who haa been able to keep himself aa one of the "tops" In golf for more than 30 yeara. In all that time Egan's golf haa been aomethlng to talk about. But It waa hla kindly viewpoint toward life that attracted me. He waa al ways a gentleman, and there Is no "abuse" of the word In that connec tion. Egan bad what Ed. Hughee likes to refer to aa character, and charac ter Is, to a certain extent, the ability to say "No." Some time after the fire of 1906 Chandler Egan came westward for golf. By that time he had severed his eastern connections and pur chased hla Medford pe&r orchard . The Chronicle engaged Egan to write a series of articles on some big golf tournament. We were all of ua more or less new to golf, and Chandler waa to supply the technique. He waa an "ace" In golf, and as such might have been a crank and hard to get along with. But the man had such patience with us I later marveled at It all. So I reached the conclusion (later discovering I waa right) that Chand ler Egan played golf for the Jove of the aport; that he was a good loser when thlnga went against him and the nest sort of a sportsman. Naturally we will mlsa Egan in our golfing and sports world. (Harry B. Smith, veteran sporting editor In San Francisco Chronicle.) WRESTLING By the Associated Press.

PETE, MIH BOUT INTERESTS No bout In the past several months haa created more comment than the Impending battle between Pete Bel castro, Junior heavyweight wrestling champ of the coast, and Prince Mlha lakls, Arabian nobleman.
