Membership in American Power
Boat Association Doubles.

At the annual meeting OF the American
Power Boat Association last night at 'he
Valdorf-Asto-ia the president OF Inc Or
eanization. II. r. Koerner, in his annual
roport. said that during the last year the
membership had increased from llo0 10
about 5000. There are now ia clubs in
good standing as compared 10 CS clubs a
year ago.
Besides discussing the membership IN
crease. the president said:
Tho work Of the association has not
been confined to the enlargement OF It's club
list alone. but during the year just ended
at various meetings much important, far
reaching and progressive work has been
Instituted, which when fully carried into
active operation viii materially advance
the welfare and direction of the motor boat
interests involved.
"Thc general adoption Of the standard
or limited classes Of boats for Thclns
uri,ed by the association alone should de-
y1lop great field of building, and create
Il distinct class Of craft that IN "a few
wears will entirely set aside the dctrlmt nlal
conditions that have afflicted the healthy
and steady growth Of moderate speed
beats intended both for safe runhbouts
and Tor racing.
About sixty members Of the association,
representiug many individual members, at
tended the meeting.

rounds with Jim Smith, powerfully built
middleweight pugilist of Westchester, at
the Fairmont Athletic Cluo. Of The Bronx,

managed TO score a clean knockdown In
the fifth round with right uppercut to the
jaw Smith forced him 10 the ropes with
a shower Of blows to the head and body
and was tearing in to close range to follow
the lead. when Mickey leaped off the ropes
and whipped the right up 10 the chin
Smith dropped to his knees, but was up at
once and won the round by great margin
on points.
The contest marked the FIRST appearance
Of Smith since he was outpointed by Frank

the opinion that had Smith boxed more
with his head and less win his hands and

punishment These tactics alone saved Nc
