Eyston drove hl cven-ton "Thun

for the two runs necessary to estao
- llsh an dffclal mark.
The timing apparatus, which func

failed to register on the second Just
aa Eyston roared Into the measured
mil In an offort to better the mark
of 811.42 miles per hour he establish
ed last year.
Eyston's time for the outward mile
waa 10.37 seconds, far ahead of his
fastest previous single run, 11.33 sec
onda or 317.74 miles per hour.
Officials admitted Eyston traveled
faster on the. return trip than on the
outward sprint, possibly approaching
856 miles per hour or nearly six miles
a minute, but failure of the timing
device frustrated him.
"1 don't feel the run waa at all In

Negro Domination
Of Fistic World
Late Development
We agree perfectly with Mr. Bar
ney Cody of Jacksonville, who writes
a nice letter stating that he "don t
think the colored
boxers are
titled to all the
laurels.'1 And
like Mr. C:dy, we
appreciate the
fact that Roooit

fiardlesa of the
Joe Louis' and
he wants, re
Henry Armstrong's,
Al Hostaks of the
present generation.
No sir, not by a long shot do the
Negro boys .deserve all the applause
end honor awarded prizefighters by
the sport-loving public. Far every one
Joe Louis, there are a dozen Jack
Dempseys, Gene Tunneys, Jim Coi-
betts and Bob Fltnilmmons, for every
Henry Armstrong there are scores of
white welterweights, lightweights and
featherweights who have shown down
through the years they had everything
It takes.
However, at this time, colored
liojs do Just about rule the roost
of boxing, so fur as rliamplnn
slilps In the right weight divis
ions are concerned. Five of those
eight crowns are perched upon
the heads of three Negro battlers,
and as we pointed out In Oils col
umn recently, there has never be
fore been such a Negro domina
tion of the top spots ns now held
by the Mwtsrit. Louis, Lewis and
Armstro.f ,
Armstrong ta also the first man Jr
history to hold three titles simultan
eously. Mr. Cordy writes that "lanky
Bob Fltzfllmmons wore the throe-way
crown when he beat Jack Dompsej
"The Nonpareil" In San Francisco tor
the welterweight championship, Jim
Hall in New Orleans tor the middle
weight and Jim Carbett in Novnaa
for the heavyweight." Now, It Is trua
that Fits, during his career, won;
three crowns, but not simultaneously.
according to Frank O. Menkc'i All
Sports Record book. And, the titles
weren't the weltor, middle and heavy,
but the middle, light-heavy and
heavy, so says the record book.
PlttJ copped the heavyweight cham
pionship on March 17, 1807, by knock
ing out Jim Corbett In 14 rounds.
Ho won the light heavyweight title
Novomber 4, 1003, by outpointing
Oeorge Gardner In So rounds, and
won the middleweight diadem by
stopping the original Jack Dempsey
In New Orleans, January 14, 1801.
Fits never lost the middleweight
title, retiring from that division to
fight bigger men and leaving Kid Mc
Coy, Philadelphia Jack O'Brien and
Tommy Ryan to squabble among
themselves for the championship
However, he did lose the- llght-hcavy-welght
belt December 20, 1006, In Sun
Francisco, when he was belted out
by Philadelphia Jack O'Brien. And.
he tost the heavy wctrfht title June B.
1809. at Conoy Island, N. Y., by a
knockout to Jim Jeffries In 11 heats.
If the dates, as given In
Mfiikc's record hook, are rnrrect,
Fit couldn't have held the three
rhaiuplitiiKhlps sliiiiiltniieiiuly.
Because he didn't win (lie llght
heavy weight title until V.w
four years after losing the heavy
weight crown to Jerrrles.
Even thoxigh Fits didn't bold three
crowns at the same time, what a
tighter he must have oeen. Ill
weight, In his prime, varied between
103 and 170, and he went In then
with men pounds heavier and shel
lacked plenty ot them. Ho was only
an overgrown middleweight but re
asked absolutely no quarter from ..ny
man. He started his career In IH80.
and fought his last battle In 1014.
when he went six rounds, nj decision
