Hubbell. clubbed by the Brooklyn

with an ailing pitching wing that
may necessitate an operation. It
will definitely keep him on the side
lines for at least a week or two. and
may prevent him from taking his

the year.
Here are the two greatest left

and both shelved In the same

and now the Hub has a painful

be revealed when X-rays are taken
of HubbelPs elbow next week.

UTAH'S SALT FLATS
BONNEVILLE SALT FLATS, Utah,
Aug. 10. (AP) England's John Cobb
streaked across the desert In a test
run of his low-slung silvered Ratlton
today at a top speed of approximately
300 miles an hour.
Capt. George E. T. Eyston, also of
England, who also is here to seek
a new world speed record for the
measured mile, witnessed his rival's
flashing performance.
Eyston set the present mark of
311.41 miles ail hour here last No
vember. "The car performed perfectly, and
I am ready to go after the record
attempt without another test run,"
said Cobb.
Cobb, however, must await Eyston's
record attempt, since the captain hes
priority on the salt course this year.
Eyston. who made a test run in his
Thunderbolt at 270 m. p. h. last week.
said he would make one more test
run, probably next Wednesday, before
making a record attempt Saturday
or later.
Starting nt sunup, when the salt
was most firm, Cobb accelerated his 1
machine for five miles, ran about a
half a mile at top speed, and ground
to a stop In another five miles.
