FIELD FOR GASOLINE
MOTORS GOOD ABROAD
Belfast Consul Says Boating Is
Popular Pastime

Consul S. s. Knabenshue of Belfast
reports that there is wide field for
the use of marine gasoline motors in
that Irish district He writes:
Yachting is very popular amuse-
ment here. Two of the most prominent
yachting clubs Of the country have
their headquarters near Belfast. and
there is hardly a town of any size sit
uated on the seacoast but has a sailing.
boating or rowing club. There are also
number of lakes in the interior on
which there are boats and yachts.
Motor boats have as yet limited
use There are perhaps dozen on the
northeast coast of Ireland. Their own
ers had local builders construct their
hulls after models which have ap-
proved themselves by use in the strong
tides and treacherous currents of these
seas The motor engines were pur-
chased of builders in England or Scot
land and were installed here.
The consulate had had, within the
last two years, letters from at least a
half dozen motor boat and engine
builders in the United States. Each
has been furnished list of addresses,
with strong recommendation to offer
to an approved agent a sample motor
and to pay the cost of installation in a
suitable hull here. So far no American
manufactures appears to have made
any arrangement to be represented in
this consular district.

PORTLAND GOES DOWN
IN A FAST CONTEST
Browning Hands Out an Assortment Which
Brings Defeat to the Beavers

Portland went down before the Seals
in stubbornly fought battle yester-
day in which both teams were going
with all sails up. The Beavers hated
to pass it over to the enemy and they
tried every trick in the national pas
time TO change the result, but Longs
men seemed to be well oiled, and with
Brownie" Browning working like an
eight day school clock the task was
too much for Mercedes force. How
ever, they succumbed only after the
Seals brought in every play that is
necessary TO annex a game The locals
showed at the finish to the visitors l.
About 5000 fans filed through the
gates TO witness the conflict. There
were many Portland admirers in the
attendance, and they encouraged their
favorites throughout 1t was an ideal
game for the big crowd. as plenty of
snappy work was sandwiched in in the
nine innings.
Little Browning was opposed on the
mound to Carson of Portland. The
Seals star slabster held full hand
and he dealt his half a dozen hits over
wide area. Browning had everything.
The best bat singers of Portland fell
like wooden men before his delivery
Eight of the enemy fell trying TO To-
cate his elusive curves.
CARSON NO MARK
While Carson was touched up trifie
more frequently than Browning, he
was by no means mark. He had
the Seals guessing throughout. Whlle
they picked his delivery for 10 safe
swats, he kept them well scattered.
His downfall came along in the eighth,
when the Seals sampled his offerings
for pair of hits.
Portland took the lead in the second
frame, and it looked like the northern
team was going TO make it cinch
game. A couple of hits were respon-
sible for the run which Portland made;

In the third inning Carson tenn
