DURHAM TO RETIRE
DIXIE II. FROM RACING
CLASS FOR CRUISING
NEW YORK, Sept. IA.

NEW YORK, Sept. IA.
%TT HE Dixie H., winner of the inter
national motorboat cup is to be
retired this fall. F. X Burn
ham, her owner, announces that he will
shortly take out the powerful $50
horsepower engine and substitute an
equipment of lower power, as he in
tends to use the boat henceforth for
cruising purposes.
Mr.. Burnham does not intend to quit
racing, but he believes that a boat OF
the now common type is not capable
of the highest possible speed, so he will
turn his interest to hydroplanes in the
future.
The Dixie IL. is the most popular
speed boat raced in American waters
in many years. In her three seasons
she has won the greatest number OF
prizes ever annexed by a motorboat.
Twice she defended the British trophy
twice she won the gold cup race on the
Thousand Islands, twice she proved
herself national champion on the Hud-
son river, and this year she won the
Great Lakes championship at Buffalo
She has only been defeated once and
that was by a 500-horsepower fifty
foot hull at Monaco in 1909 She has
started in nearly 100 races, a record
that has never been approached by any
other motorboat, large or small.

yesterday to come all the way up from
his quarters at Fair Haven on the

Quill was awarded the decision after
twelve rounds of tame fighting. 1t
was the seventh battle between the
pair.
The English boxer, Matt Wells,
claimed a foul in the ninth round of
his bout with Jimmy Howard last
night at the Fairmount A. c., and the
contest was stopped by the referee.
There was a wide difference of opinion
among those at the ringslde regarding
the blows which made Wells double up
and quit. Few however, believe that
any deliberate foul was intended.
Up until the time the bout ended the
Englishman did not have the hotter of
the fight. His opponent was at least
fifteen pounds heavier, but is some
thing Of novice at the game, and did
not display much cleverness. His ad-
vantage was due to his weight and
height more than to anything else, and
these odds. Howard forced matters and
gave the Briton a terrible lacing.

pEV HE Corinthians, the pick of Eng

ball players, have arranged to
visit Canada and the United States
next year-in August.
1t is likely that game or two will be
arranged hereabouts.
It would be a good thing to have a
local game, as these contests with the
British eXponents of soccer give the
game a great boost and adds to the
American players confidence when
they find they can score on Britishers
and sometimes keep them from shoot
ing the ball between the posts.
The writer understands the Corinth-
ians' schedule to be as follows. Mon

there they go To Chicago, then TO st.
