Eyston Regains World's BRITISHER DRIVES AT 357.50 JPH CLIP John Cobb's Laurels Last Only One Day As Rival Boosts Mark One Run Is Clocked at 358.57 M.P.H. By OT1B J. I'USEY BONNEVILLE SALT FLATS, Utah, Sept. 16. AP) The world's auto mobile speed record tumbled here again today as Capt. George E. T. Eyston regained the title John R. Cobb usurped yesteiday. The new mark Is 367.50 per hour. Eyston, retired British army offi cer, drove his powerful "Thunder bolt" through the mile at .356.44 miles per hour on the north run and returned at 368.57 miles per hour to displace Cobb's record of 360.30, established only 24 hours ago on this white course. Cobb, wealthy London fur broker, was timed at 353.20 and 347.16 on the two runs. King One Day The rotund broker was speed king only one day. Eyston, who hoisted his own aver age from 311.42 to 345.49 August 27 only to see the astonishing achievement excelled by his com patriot, obviously held back until the chips wero clown. Cobb announced ho was through racing for this year, and extended his congratulations to his rival After due deliberation we have decided to abandon further quest for the world land speed record so far as this visit is concerned," he said, adding his car had been built for a definite objective (presumably 360 miles per hour) and he had at tained. Eyston, however, said he may try again next week to better his own mark. Eyston, black irom brake dust and exhaust smoke, smiled boyishly when Informed he once more had ascended the coveted world speed throne. A crowd estimated at approxi mately 5000 persons, largest ever to assemble on the dry lake bed on the Utah-Nevada border, cheered wildly as the graying Englishman received the glad tidings. I The southward or second run was the fastest land speed ever timed. At 368.57 miles per hour, the dar ing driver did the mile In 10.04 seconds. Pleasant Itun The captain also smashed Cobb's kilometer record, lifting the mark from 360.07 miles per hour to 357.34. "It was the most pleasant run I've ever made," Eyston said. "On the return, however, It got devilish hot In the cockpit because I closed In the front of the car and I didn't get the benefit of a radiator. Using a mixture to prevent freezing, water and dry Ice in the radiator worked admirably." Cobb alept in neaiby Wenflover while his title was falling. Re Id Rail ton, designer of Cobb's low-slung mechanical llgmning bolt, called a council of war" to decide upon fu ture plans. Ey ton's "Thunderbolt" was remod eled after the Initial run this season. The tall fin was taken off, and the nose blunted. PENDLETON, Ore., Sept. 16. (AP) Led by Ray Prathor, parenthesis- legged tophand from Alamogordo. N. M., who roped, threw and hog- tled a calf In 10 seconds, riders and ropers staged superb performances during the first day of the Pendle ton Round -Up yesterday. About 11.000 watched the first-day contests. W. W. Brlte captured first In tho pony dash. Wayne Save was second. Fourteen of the 20 wranglers stayed In the saddle the necessary 10 seconds in the first bucking con test and avoided elimination. The event was programmed as an ama teur affair.

Those Craters, tabbed by local fans as the greatest Medford baseball team since the rip-roaring days of Cliff Best. J:hnny Logan. Duke Marlow, the Dunn boys and the more youth ful years of Hoffard, himself, need only one more victory over their bit ter rivals, Crescent City, to clinch the 1938 Southern Oregon league cham plonshlp. Medford, second-half title-holders, won the first of a three-game play off series last Sunday at Crescent City, 7 to 5. Now, the Craters must win but one more gome from the first-half champions to become pos sessors of the circuit bunting. They will shoot for that honor at the high school park Sunday afternoon In a game that starts at 2:30 sharp. Turpln To Start However, if Crescent City comes bock to deadlock the scries Sunday, a third and deciding game will be necessary. It will be played at a loca tion to be determined by official of tho two clubs. In an attempt to wind up the se ries ln two straight games. Manager Hoffard will start young Lyle Turpln on the mound. Turpln. Klamath Palls righthander, has beaten Crescent City twice In the last three weeks, his first victory coming ln the final game of the second-hilf race and his second occurring last Sunday at Crescent City. In between those two encoun ters, he hurled the Craters to a 10 to t win over Grants Pa.s in the playoff game for the aecond-half championship. Crescent City's twirler has not been announced by Manager "Roy Deo, but It will probably be Chub Howe, the stocky, high school righthander. Ralph Deo, regular Merchant pitcher, tore a muscle. In his throwing arm last Sunday and will be unable to sec action. Craters Favored With a record of nine wins ln th? last 10 games, the Craters are heavy favorites to wallop the Merchants and end the pennant chase. Medford won seven out of eight encounters during the second-half race, then added the playoff game with Grants Pass and the first title game with Crescent City to their win column, and close observers can't see how the slugging locals can be stopped now. Neither team plans any vital change in Its lineup. The two clubs have faced each other five times this sea son, with Medford winning three games. In two of those encounters, feeling among the fans and players was so high that general rioting al- : most broke out. Last Sunday's game at Crescent City saw home-town ad dicts tcss pop bottles at umpires and behave ln ungentlemanly manner. and because of that. Lefty Harmon neutral umpire from Ktamath FUlls. has been obtained to handle the game. Immediately preceding the game, at 1 o'clock, officials of both clubs will meet with League President Dom Provost of Ashland to Iron out a pro test of Crescent City's regarding the eligibility of Wally Rlckert, Crater utility man.

HELP OF MIRACLE TO GETANYWHERE Loss of Gray, Kolberg and Duncan Takes Heavy Toll of Strength Mercer Only Backfield Standby By Wlllard Eberhnrt United Press Staff Correspondent CORVALLIS. Ore.. Sept. 16. (UP) Oregon State will have ta take Its football glory from the records of past performances ln 1938 unless Coach Lon Stlner performs miracles here on the Corvallis campus. Frankly, things don't look so good for Stlner and his crew as they faco a seven-game Pacific coast conference' schedule and outside games agaln3t Idaho and University of Portland. Mainstays Gone Oregon State's toss numerically by graduatelon wasn't great, but the loss included Joe Gray, halfback who was mare than half the team last year. It was Gray who scored or engineered the scoring of most of the team's points and it was big Elmer Kolberg and smooth Bill Duncan who helped him most. These three are gone and only Joe Mercer remains of last year's back field. In the line there are a lot of vet erans but the reserve strength la weak. Stlner. starting his sixth year as head coach, has a squad of 35 men with which to work. Lacking power and passing, he is building on decep tion. Mercer To Quarterback Mercer has been moved from a ha'.fback post to quarterback. Around him will be placed Jim Klsselburgh and Joe Tomlch at the halfback sta tions and Kenny Dow, fullback. All three are sophomores. Hal Hlggins, Vic Komler, Hoi Holcomb and Allan Chrlstensen back up this quartet. The line is set with ends Coons and Wendlick; tackles Hackenbruck and Sterling; guards, Hutchins and Schultz; and center, Jim Orr. All seven are lettermen. There isn't much behind them, however, to relieve the first stringers in the tough games ahead. The campaign begins Sept. 24 with Idaho, said to be loaded for bear this year.
