The naval airship at Barrow is about
 to make its second appearance, this time to undergo trimming tests prepara- | tory to short aerial trips. Work on the airships was commenced two years ago; It's launching was officially expected in
 June 1910: the vessel was actually launched | ously at fault, and has since. and for the third time been considerably altered. ! The Barrow airshp is of the right type l established by Zeppelin, but it embodies | a number of Improvements. The failure | to succeed in the first launching appar- | ently was due to blunders in general | design; indeed, the balance of the airship | has proved to be incorrect over and over again and the distribution of cars and | fuselage has had to be entirely changed. | Also, 1t has been demonstrated by ex-
 perience that the weight of cars engines | and fuseage was excessive, and during
 the past few weeks the gangway between
 the cars has been removed and the
 cars have been brought closer together.
 Ever since the airship took shape in | it's shed the question of balancing 1t has | been a difficulty. Two accidents, caus- | ing serious delays were due to initial miscalculations. but it is believed now l that the troubles has been overcome.
 There has been undue haste in the rrep-
 arations for the trials now to be made

 so successfully that it withstood a breeze stronger than anything that the zeppelins have weathered, yet not al

Robertson Ready For
Match With Cartmell

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 22.-Lawson
Robertson, trainer Of the 1rish-Amer1-
can Athletic Club, Of New York, one Of
the best sprinters in America, now
professional, answers the recent accept
snce of his challenge by n. ]. Cartmell,
the old Red and Blue cinder path STAR
now the worlds champion, by stating
that he is ready to compete against
Cartmell in q special match at 100 yards.
Robertson realizes that Cartmell
never made any pretense of being star
at the century, and even in his last re-
ply to the New Yorker he stated spe-
CifiCally that if Robertson wanted to
race for 81, 600 for any distance less than
$50 yards he would furnish him an OPP
ponent and a wager by having Charles
Holway, of America, now racing abroad,
return home for the event.
Cartmell did state that at any distance
from 100 to 300 yards he was open TO
meet the New Yorker and that the date
and terms were all in the hands of Rob
ertson, despite the fact that Cartmell is
the champion. 1t is known that Robert
son plans a trip abroad, but Cattmell is
home before his trip and Cartrhell will
leave Chapel Hill, n. c., in few days
and visit the IriSh-American trainer to
pin him down to terms for a match with
himself or Holway.
The Penn crack of a few years ago
will go 20 Europe again this year if he
fails to draw Robertson into a match
comply with the professional terms of a
side bet Of $500. On his return to
America Cartmell will retire perma-
nently from competition.

the distance men in the South Atlantic

good chance; Stecker, of the Wash
ing;on Y. NJ. c. A, Is picked to be

.LANGFOR WAITING
TO MEET JOHNSON
Disposal of Lang Puts Him
in Line for Next
Fight.

LONDON. Feb. 22-Sam Langford is
the pugilis1c wonder of London today,
and nothing will satisfy the sports but
to see him clash with Jack Johnson for
the worlds title.
The ease with which the Boston negro,
weighing 16S pounds, whipped Bill Lang,
who weighed close to 22O pounds, last
night, surprised everybody. So decisive
was Langford's victory that there 8
general regret that Lang's disqualify-
ing foul in the sixth round robbed the
negro of the knockout that seemed in
evitable.
Should Promoter Mcintosh succeed in
matching LanGford and Johnson for
coronation week, Langford will not lack
for backing. Most of those who saw him
literally sweep Lang off the boards
believe him the greatest scrapper in the
world.
Langford was around town today with
not a mark of the fight showing. He
says he will stay in training until the
result of McIntosh's negotiations with
Johnson is definitely known.

swept all before it in the relay events
of the track season, while last year
Washington Grove had the best Of it in
the relays.
The success of the fremont A. C.
seems to have spurred the famous
Washington Grove team to recover its
laurels for Manager Wymard, of the
Georgetown University track team, has
announced a special relay event between
the two teams, which will be pulled
off in the annual meet on March 4.
The announcement that Cornell would
race Penn a 2,640-yard relay, instead of
two miles, is taken that both teams mean
business in a faster race. Those who
saw PENIS two-mile team at the Balti-
more games figure that Cornell will
have to send a record-breaker to win
out over the Red and Blue athletes.
Entries will positively close on Satur-
day, at which time Manager Wymard
expects to send the entire list to the
Handicapped.

held on a California course, however,
this mark was almost equaled- Last
autumn at Santa Monica Teddy Tetzlaf
drove the Lozier for a 7327-mile-an-hOur
average in the Ferris Cup race. Also,
he won the Santa Monica event with
71.72-miIe average. Both of Tetzlaff's re-
cords surpassed the time of the French
Grand Prix and the American Grand
Prize. The former mark is 7061 miles
an hour and the latter is 7055 miles.
This Florio record of 74.3 miles will
take some sensational driving to lower.
In the fact that 1t was almost equaled

are grounds for hope that a new mark
may be set today.
