Unable to Produce Sub stitute for Mrs. Jarrett BERLIN, Aug. 13. (fV) The United SUtes annexed Its third consecutivo championship of the 11th Olympic games today, qualified her swimmer In four events without a set-back, but uncovored no substitute for Elea nor Holm Jarrett and surrendered the women's 100-meter backstroke crown to Holland. After Dorothy Poynton Hill, the 1932 champion, and Velma Dunn of Monrovia, Cal., had finished one-two In the women's platform dlvinn championship, Dlna Senff, Dutch fraulein, nosed out her compatriot, Rita Mastcnbroek, and the Amnrlcan girls, Alice Bridges of Uxbrldge, Mass, and Edith Motrin" go Segal of Los An gelea.

Mrs, Jarrett, a member of the cur rent Olympic squad, was dismissed from the team for drinking and late hours. Klefer Hels Record. These two finals featured a day of competition marked otherwise by a new world record-breaking perform ance by Adolf Klefer, Chicago young ster, In the men's 100-mctor back stroke semi-finals, and by the suc cessful advance of America's entrants In the women's 400-meter free style trials, the men's 1.600-meter free stylo preliminaries, and the men's 300 meter breast stroke trials.

CAHI.r., FANDOM AX RANDOM By PICK APPLEOATB Not that anybody believe It yet, but Frank Menke still contend! that L. Vanderstuyft, riding bicycle at Paris In 1928, covered 79 mile,, ooa yarda In one hour, while paced with motorcyclea. We sent him a letter once flaking how come, taut he ap parently never received the epistle, for that's the last we ever heard from It. Speed Is a peculiar thing. When Jack Medlca swam a mile In 20 min utes, 67 and 8-10 seconds, It's a safe bet the reports had him "biasing along the course," or "flashing along the route," or some other phrase highly Indicative of speed. And yet he was only averaging about 3 ana 8-8 miles an hour. A runner doing the loo yard In 9 and 4-10 Is aver aging about 30 m.p.h., and Olenn Cunningham's fastest mile, 4:08.7 was ticked off at about 14. Paavo Nurml ran for an hour once, and ended up Just 11 miles from where he started. The fastest a man has ever traveled was 440.88 miles per . hour. Meut. Francesco Agrllo of Italy did It In a seaplane last year. Howard Hughes, American movie producer, oil scion, and flyer, turned In 352.388 In an air plane last year for the world rrrnrrt. Why are seaplones faster than Innn planes? Simply because a fast plane has stubby wings, and little maneuverability. A land plane that can do 300 miles an hour or more lands at a terrific pure, and It Is rllfMcnli to bring Ihcm down on the available fields. A seaplane, nn the other hand, can find long stretches of aqua any place In the world and doesn't have to worry about a landing spot. The same Is true of the take-off. The wings are so short that they haven't much lift, and It tnkes a long run before they lift. Excluding the Bonneville salt flats In Utah, where we understsnd a land speed teat Is to be made soon, land ships can't find the space for a sev eral miles run that Is needed. The fastest locomotive run waa made In Oermany In 1931, with the choo-choo timed at 148.78 m.p.h. In tht country, surprisingly enough, the record waa set In 1001 at an even 130 per. A Union Paclflo streamliner. nulling six cars, equalled me uu record for two miles, but the 1901 spurt covered five. An antelope Is rated the taswai animal and can pound out a mile at 83 per. Something we didn't suspect Is the fact that a camel, usually pic tured aa a slow beast at best, can outhoof a horse after three miles. Three horses, unofficially clocked over the mile In England at 1 :32.4-5, were galloping at 43 miles an hour. A grey hound can't touch that their beet apecd Is about SB. While humans can't hustle tneir hodlea along at very great speed In comparison to other animals, tney can move parts of their bodies In quite a hurry. For Instance Jack Dempsey'e puncnes. wnicn usuaiiy traveled nine or ten Inches, stesmed over the whiskers at 135 mllee an hour. Joe Louis' wallops were timed at 137. A speed pitcher chucks his ball over the plate at approximately the same speed that Ixiul,' fists travel 127. dene araten clout ed a golf ball at 120 miles an hour, and lllg mil Tllden knocked a tennis ball at the rate or 118. Dlrds. by accurate timing, have been docked doing 180 miles an hour. The particular bird which did that was an American duck hawk. It loafs at 05. and can accelerate to better than 300. The Himalayan swift Is be lieved capable of nearly the same sliced, as la the Merganser, another duck-llke bird. Here's one duck hunters won't believe the best time ever turned In by a teal duck la 40 miles an hour, while the pigeon once flew 800 miles at 87 mllea an hour. The crow flies 80, the quel! 48, the hummingbird 45. The pelican pur sues his atstely course at a fast 38. One of the slowest birds la the apar row, averaging 17. Eton college, In Bucklnghampahlrs.
