PALM BEACH MOTOR
BOAT RACES BEGIN
Today Devoted Largely to Trials OF
Speed-Standard and Dixie Will
Not Be in Game.

PALM BEACH, Fla, March 16.-As
a great deal of time and care was TAX
en- in preparation for the races begun
here today under the auspices Of the
Palm Beach Power Boat Association,
everything was started smoothly on
schedule time
The races are held on course
measuring two and one-half nautical
miles straightaway, with a minimum
depth of twelve feet and a maximum
of twenty feet. There is practically
no tide on the lake, thus permitting
top speed.
The trophies offered the winners
have a total cash value of between
$4,000 and $4,000
Foremost among them is a $500 sill
yer trophy, 26 inches in height, offered
for the best mile record This will
go out-and-out to the winner. Then
come the $400 trophy offered by the
Beach club for the endurance contes:
on the final day and the $500 cup to be
competed for by Florida built boats.
Among the other prizes are cups val
ued at $3.50 each by the White Rock
people, Black and White and Commo-
dore H. B. Moore The Poland Spring
people are also putting up a $3.50 cup
for race of boats of all lengths
Beautiful trophies are offered by Ben
jamin Douglass, Jr., c. Perceval, w. H.
Barron. Greenleaf & Crosby, Frank
Tilford, Reed & Barton, Roosevelt &
Schuyler, Drohan & Co., Pabst and the
Clysmic Water people.
Today was divided largely to speed
trials. Theodore D. Wells will use the
figures obtained as the basis for the
handicaps during the remainder OF the
regatta. a system which has proved
most satisfactory during the four
years Of his administration as handi-
capper at these regattas.
The famous power boat racers the
Standard and the Dixie II will not
compete here this year, as they are
on their way to Marseilles aboard big
liners. from which point they will pro-
coed under their own power to Mona
co, where they will represent the
United States at the international mo-.

ported that the New Englanders are
coming to the games primed to win
The New York A. c. is equally conf
dent OF victory, for with Hilman and
Sedley as two members of the team
it will naturally require a speedy quar-
tet to beat them.

events, while Yale will send an equal
number of contestants. Harvard has
entered five men and Cornell will be
represented by six, taking part in the
leading short and long distance races
A. T. Show, of Dartmouth. has en-
tered for the hurdles, and as he holds
the record at Is 1-5 seconds for the
12O-yard hurdle, some fast time may be
looked for. MCGEE, the fast Princeton
runner, will run in the mile, while
prominent in the spirits will be Gam
BILE and Deeborn. The 70-yard dash

SPORTING DOPE

world is waiting eagerly for definite
news as to whether James j. Jeffries
will agree to meet Jack Johnson IL,

ship of the world. The recent arrival in
this country of Hugh D. Mcintosh Of
Sydney, Australia, had added greatly to
the public interest in the possibility of
such a contest, but considerable feeling
has developed that McIntosh's offer of
a purse for the match on foreign soil
should not be accepted and that the
question as to the merits of the men
should be decided in the United States.
1t is known that Jeffries is not in
