MILE IN 2e 2-5 SECONDS.
Speed Proportional to t35 Miles an
 Hour Made by Motorcycle

The current Technical World, in its comments on this winters automobile shows, calls attention to the rapid growth of the motorcycle industry in America, and speaks particularly of an eight cylinder motorcycle which made a mile over a measured course in Florida in 26 2-5 seconds; a speed proportionate to 1S5 miles an hour. But it is not merely as speed leaders that the motorcycles deserves atten- tion,p ,p says the Technical World, rather it's field promises to be one of unlimited range in that it is well suit ed for postal and messenger duties. Abroad third wheel has been added converting it into tri-car and when so manufactured it is useful as light delivery machine and one that can be maneuvred much easier in crowded streets than a four wheeled car. It's cost of maintenance is comparatively small. due to it's light weight and sim plicity of parts" While this is all true it is evident that the technical world Is not aware that numbers of American made tri-ears are already in daily use, and several factories on this side propose to fully exploit the commercial possibilities of the motor cycle during the coming year.

AN INTERSTATE DREAM.
Opinion That National Polo League is About to Hand in Its Checks.

The Cleveland Leader in dreaming of the poor showing of the Interstate Polo league expects that more fearful fate is in store for the National league and explains in the following the reasons:
 Many of the Interstate polo man. agers are of the opinion that the Ma tional league will pass in it's checks after the holidays. It is a known fact that four of the seven teams have been losing propositions after the first two weeks of play. The owners of these teams, it is claimed, desire to go through the holidays, hoping that the receipts of the games will put them near the square mark Provi- dence, the largest city In the circuit and the tail-ender, is drawing poorly. This city was expected to keep the largue above water with it's crowds in case some of the other cities went poorly.
 The belief of the Interstate man agers is based on letters received during the last ten days from several of the stars in the league who former ly played in this section. The play CTS in question are Fahey and Tib- betts, with Niles last year, Jean and Sutherland, of Akron, and Robbie Hart. These players have been com municated with by mail and telephone, and it would not be surprising if the entire five stars were back in the In terstate inside of two weeks.
 Fahey and Tibbetts both want to play in sharon. These two players have written Manager Barney Doher' ty and Owner Jones and have ex- Ipressed a desire to play in the Inter state as well as stating their salary They frankly admit that the Ma tional league doesn't look good ant they want to get under cover while the going Is good. The only condi tion they impose is that 9 certair amount of their salary be placed in bank to their credit, to be drawn ou in weekly instalments. They takt this precaution merely to protect thei interests. It Is claimed that the othe three players demand the same pro tection
 The Sharon team needs couple 0
 men badly and is seriously consider ing the proposition, Goal-tender Tih
 betts is the player most desired an' it is more than likely that the back CTS of the sharon team will accede [ his terms. The addition of the bi cage guardian would make sharon factor in thefrace. That the polo played in this sectio
 is far better than the National leagu is proven by the stars in the easter organization. Daley, Mccarthy, Gus , lick, Ole and bunch of others, wh
 were only regarded as fair in this cir
 cult, are stars down east. There ar ! just six players in the National leagu 6 who ought to be playing in this set r ton. They are Nick McGilvray, Ere
 Jean, Bobby Hart, Sutherland, I'll q betts and Lincoln. If the Interstai / / had these men the National would :, < welcome to the rest of the polo artist
