MOTOR BOAT IN Sway
Exhibition IN Garden Alreody
HeetinS ,cith Success

The motor boat show. which opened in
Madison Square Garden on Saturday VIII
begin full weeks run in the Dig afnphl-
theatre this morning when the doors are
thrown open at o'clock. Judging from
The large crowd that attended the eAhlbi-
ton on the first day and the great interest
shown the show seems assured OF success
Several sales have already been rspor 'e"'
which is looked upon as extremely s'a,hS
ing by the exhibitors, when 1t IS taken lilo
consideration that the show mas not YET
enjoyed full days run
The attractions at the exhibition are
many, and the interest shown py tile se4'-
eral n,,bli, in the different types Of boats
points concIusively TO the fact that 'he
motor boat. whether for speed or pleasure
has come TO stay.
The advantages Of the marine sasoiene
,,,o.o,. az. ,oanz The cost is less than
for steam engines, SO that the first outlay
Is much less than if a steam craft IS want
"a The easolene motor takes very little
room, In a boat It can be slowed unuer
.he cabin OF cockpit floor, where 1t can ac-
ooronlisb its object unseen. There are no
fires or boilers necessary to keep the motor
going no fires TO bank when the motor
stops. and consequently no fuel Is useo
when the boat is at anchor. There Is no
delay in starting, and the motor does not
take an hour or two to get power up ana
does not need a licensed engineer TO run II
In very small craft, such as hsher-
mans dory, it saves an immense amount
of work
In larger boat the gasolene motor is
even more economical. II takes so little
room. even with the tank for the gasolene,
that q 75-foot yacht driven by sasolene
engine will have more accommodation on
board than q 100-foot steam yacht A
steam Yacht of that size will require
crew of about seven or eight men -Four
at most will take care of the sasolene
yacht There will be dust, dirt and neat
from the steam; the gasolene motor IS
clean and cool and. what is more impor-
tant to the owner, better speed can be hao
with A sasolene motor than with a steam
engine at a much less cost of running on
fuel consumption alone.

High Iyerages Still Rulc IN
.fthletic League.

Record work marks the efforts Of both
teams and individuals in the Athletic
Bowling League these days. Never before
IN the history of this representative bowl
ing organization have averages been 50
high At present the Elizabeth Club en-
jovs first place in the race, with twenty
five games won and eleven lost, which IS
three games each way better than Rose
Vile and Jersey City, which are tied for
second place.
That leading positions do not always go
to teams with the best averages is shown
by the fact that RosevilIe easily heads the
list with the exceptional mark of 92427.
while Jersey City's average is only S96 %.
So far as that goes. North End, which is
in next to last place. has practically the
same average as Jersey City. The New
York Athletic Club is only game behind
Roseville, and then comes Passaic
individually. Charlie Meyer. the Rose
VILE anchor, Is now at the head Of the
average column, with the hitherto unhear,l
of figures for this league of 1854. Dwyer.
of Newark Bay is next. with 1914. and
then follow Pierson, of Roseville. and
Sherwood. of New York. with 1929 and
1929. respectively. There are now TWEEN
ty-nine with averages better than $50. al
most twice as many as has been custom
arv in past seasons.
This weeks schedule calls for a start
on Thursday night, when Elizabeth will
roll at Passaic, North End at Columbian
and Columbia al New York On Friday
night Roseville will go TO Jersey City and

GIANTS GET READY.
Eiehteen More at Marlin and
"Fun" Starts To-day.
TBv Te1egraph to The Tribune.


Marlin. TEX. Feb. c0.--Eighteen am
bilious Young and old Giants swooped
down on Marlin this afternoon. The men,
who arrived on special car from St
Louis were Mathewson, Marquard, Buck'
kIawitter Bell. Raymond and Parsons
pitchers: Devore Shaw, Williams. Collins
and Nonmers outtielders, and Wilson and
Curtis, catchers. Accompanying them were
Wilbur Robinson, onetime star OF the Bar
timore Orioles; Arle Latham, the clown or
the diamond, and Ed Mccall, the negro
trainer.
Manager McCraw missed his train at st.
Louis and will not arrive here until TO-
morrow He telegraphed Robinson TO take
charge. and practice will begin at . O'Clock
tomorrow morning. Robinson VIII have
TO watch the nanceuvres from the bench,
however, as he sprained his ankle while
jumping from the train at Harrisburg,
Penn.
Outside of Williams, the new outfielder,
who is 3 full blooded Oneida Indian.
Bugs Raymond attracted the most at
tention as he alighted from the train. In
fifteen minutes he had shaken hands with
everybody in the town. Several of his Old
friends among the cowboys were at the
station to greet him. The people here have
promised that they will not lead Bugs
into temptation Williams is said to be
hard hitter. and his general bearing would
indicate speed on the bases.
Il is evident from the mon McGraw has
selected that his plan is to strengthen the
outf1eld and the pitching staff at all costs.
All of the men he has signed for the out
field are hitters of reputation in the minor
lea gues. Not any Of the youngsters are in
fielders. Spencer and Metz will both have
try at first base. II is significant that
McGraW has signed no new catchers.
Curtis. who came to-day, has been with
the Giants in the spring for the last three
years but has never had a real chance.
Now McGrsw purposes to give him one.
