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record waa ever superceded.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.

(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.

Pays Tribute to
H. 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.)

W. L. Whlpperman, fishing off a
salmon board below By bee, landed a
good sized salmon after a fierce bat
tle. The prediction that the present
run of salmon will put up a terrific
fight seems to bold true, according
to Whlpperman. As soon as the fish
took the hook It jumped clear of the
water and raced harder than any
other fish he had landed In some
time, he reported. Whlpperman had
two other strikes.
