matter OF fact there are only two
guns in each of the five turrets and
the second turret in the fore part of
the ship is necessarily elevated on a
sunerstructure so as to be able to fire
freely over the top of the foremost
turret. There is very formidable
secondary battery composed Of 16 D.

2-pounders and a number OF machine
guns. There are also two 2l-inch sub

AIRY TO set out in smallest detail in

ports the thickness OF every inch of
armor on the ship. II is believed
though that the side armor will aver
age about 10 inches and that it will
be extended over length OF the ship
heretofore uncovered and will be
much wider than the ordinary armor
belt so as not to expose the under
body Of the ship when she rolls in
sea wave.
Il will take more than 4 thousand
men TO manage this great fighting ma
chine. the minimum requirement is
so officers and 95i enlisted men. The
estimated cost of the ship is S6,000.-
600 as fxed in the act Of May 10, 1908
Her keel was laid March 3, 1909 so
that the naval constructors have rea-
son to be proud Of the rapidity with
which they have carried on their
work.

New York. May tl5.-The biggest
ship In the American navy slid on the
waves Thursday at New York navy
yard when the battleship Florida
dropped into the water. Later on
when the Arkansas and Wyoming,
now under construction are afoat
they will exceed the Florida In size
by 5000 tons, a difference sufficient
to make pretty good little liner In
itself. The Florida herself r. by no
means finished. for as she went on
the ways she was only about 60 per
cent advanced towards completion
which means that she was not much
more than n vast empty huh and still
awaits all OF the thousand boilers
and main aud secondary engines and
armour and equipment that 20 ia
make up the ship ready for commits
sion.
Probably there Is no battleship

Fools Them All

NEW YORK, May 1S.-Russen
Ford of the Yankees, who beat the
Tigers yesterday, has a new kind
of bender which he will introduce
to big league boys, and this Is not
one of those joke new curves we
hear so much about in the spring,
only to be put on the shelf when
the big league season rolls along.
Ford worked it in the Eastern
league last season, and Earl Gard
ner says it went along fine.
The players have named 1t the
slide ball" Ford vets his third
finger near the knuckle, winds up,
and let's the ball go. 1t floats up
and breaks in, and every time it
did Catcher Sweeney would say,
why, that's a peach, Russell; let's
have it again." Ford would then
ball would break the other way.
He delivers this ball with the same
motion as he does other throws.
and all of the Tiger players have
brought in a verdict that this new
one is pretty fine thing for the
big league.
Ford is one of those cool fellows
We see in the box, and can move
J around and field his position with
the best of them. He has nice mo-
ton, and there Is no going up with
him when things are not breaking
just right.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 18.-The
Jeffffes-Johnson fight will be held
in San Francisco on the Fourth Of
July.
Although statements from the
men Interested are lacking at this
time, information has been given
out by which 1t can be positively
said that at the meeting of the
police commission of the board of
supervisors next Monday. a permit
will be issued to Jim Griffin's
Broadway club and that Griffin in
turn will make his permit over to
Richard and Gleason.
The powers that be in San Fran
cisco are satisfied and have an
nounced that no obstacles will be
put in the path Of the transfer.
AS was announced Monday morn
ing. Richard has been dickering
with Griffin and with others in San
Francisco for the past three days.
The reason for this was the change

hue Of Alameda county.

Daring drivers will defy death IN
record breaking dashes around the
indianapolis motordome Decoration
day, when Barney Oldfield, Robert
son. De Palma, Chevrolet. Strang
and other sped merchants race to
decide which one is the champion
driver of racing cars.
The speedway has been practic-
ally rebuilt since it's fatal opening
last year. when several drivers and
spectators were killed and many
people injured by cars slipping on
the tracks and crashing through
the fence into the crowd. The track
is now paved with brick, whichsis
expected to make it safe to drivers
and spectators.
There has never been a recog-
nized champion of the speed mer-
chants, although the title has been.
generally conceded to Oldfield. who
holds more worlds records than
any other one man.
This meet will open the Indian
apolis speedway, and speedway rae
ing is rapidly replacing road racing.

has been abandoned this year, and

Frisco P0lUers Will

Permit Will Be Issued to Jim Griffin's Broadway Club
To Be Transferred to Richard and
Gleason

Richard was fearful lest the mere
suspicion of any stopping of the
fight would affect the sale of seats.
Those who incline to the belief
that Richards selection is on the
level, and they constitute a very
small majority, insist that it is not
sound argument to declare that the
promoters presence in the ring will
mean that the betting element is in
control They argue that the very
fact that he is the referee will
cause the big betters to hold off,
not so much because there might be
something doing" but because of
Richards inexperience.
"Rickard may not have had act
ual experience as a referee" said
one of his supporters this morning,
but he knows the game thor
oughly, is cool and fearless and
would not stand for anything that
is wrong. He may make a mistake,
but haven't the experienced ones
made mistakes?"
Very true, but that argument isn't
going to change the opinions Of
many fight followers.
One well known bug who
claims to have stumbled across
some inside stuff says the naming
of Richard is merely stall to save
Berger's feelings, and that when
the proper time arrives Eddie
Graney will be chosen
