AIR On, WATER THE
SAME TO THIS
MOTOR BOAT
Latest Creation of Detroit Boat
Builders Designed To
Navigate Two
Realms.
II Inventors Plans Are Well Laid,
All Speed Records Are Sure
To Be Broken.

A craft that swims through the wa
ter with the speed of o FISH. that fies
through the air with the velocity Of q
bird-that Is the Flying Fish, the
strange aerial motor boat that this
week stood complete In the shop OF
the Michigan Steel Motor Boat COM
pany at Detroit.
Built after the fashion of a giant
bird, this combination OF monoplane
and motorboat is expected TO skim
along the surface of the water, liter
ally on It's tail feathers, at from So
TO 20 miles an hour.
The hull OF the Flying Fish Is a
water-tight steel and aluminium tank,
five feet seven inches wide, seven feet
two inches long and two feet deep.
The bow end is slanted, but all other
angles are 80 degrees.
In this Is set an eight-cylinder aero
plane engine-the only eight-cylinder
aeroplane engine In the world. II Is
model OF compactness, but, belieing
Its size, II eats up gasoline at a great
rate and whirls the propeller at ter
rife speed.
Above the hull Is the single plane
26 feet from tip TO tip and six and
one-half feet wide. The frame Is
covered with oil-soaked canvas, khaki
in color II Is convex.
Extending behind the hull, for all
the world like the handles Of baby
buggy. except that the arms are steel
and the wooden crosspiece Is a foot
wide. is the tail" On this fat board,
FIVE feet seven inches long, a foot

attains sufficient speed forward. the
plane is expected 10 lift the hull out OF
the water entirely, only the tail

speed. increases 1t is believed the
Flying Fish" will rise from the wa.
ter entirely and leap over the top OF
the waves, the "tail feathers" touch
ing at intervals and steadying the mid
flight
Also extending behind the hull is
the rudder, regular aeroplane rud-
der but smaller II Is four-vaned, the
blades being covered with canvas.
At the front OF the hull Is the pro
peller, a double blade OF wood over
six feet from tip to tip.
In the rear OF the hull Is the cock
pit, into which the feet of the skipper
extend as he sits on the cane-backed
chair balanced on the stern rail.
Immediately in front Of him are the
engine and two levers. One controls
the rudder, the other warps the sin
gle plane to combat the air currents
Complete, this craft weighs $50
pounds.
Both for sport and business pur-
poses the new air-boat Is expected to
be at once popular. With its great
speed It will completely outclass any
boat that Is forced to depend entirely
on the water for sustaining power.

American league pennant. This Is nc
signal tipping scandal. The Athieucs
way OF getting the catchers' signals
was on the level. Their secret was
kept 80 they could get the Cubs sig

did.
Fred Falkenberg was the hrst
player to get onto the Athletics sys'
TEN. The tall Nap pitcher knew, as did
other players, that the Athletic bat

!. ball was coming. Falky spent several
I sleepless nights figuring 1t out
How Il Worked.
Here is how they did it: The player
whose turn Il was to bat next STOOD
waiting almost behind the catcher In
stead of In path straight from the
bench to the home plate, which was
where the next batter Of every other
team waited. The player waiting to
bat got the catcher's signals from be-
hind. eGet on, Harry" meant

bases, Eddie" meant this is straight
fast ball, and SO on.
The catchers gave their signals

three or four fingers, or by holding
the closed right hand against the
catching mitt Unless the mitt was
--held facing the pitcher II was the
easiest thing in the world for a player
behind the catcher to get the signs.
Falkenberg had Ted Easterly give
his signals so they couldn't be seen
from behind him. Falky laughed at
the Athletics as they stretched their
knecks to see what Ted was giving.
Then the Athletics figured out an
other way. They counted on the Maps
spreading the news, and set out to get
another line on what the pitcher
would throw, and they got new way.
Chief Bender devised 1t. Chief said
he could tell from the way the pitcher
held the ball and from his first mo-
tons In pitching what kind Of ball he
would throw. Bender was stationed
ION one coaching line and Coombs on
the other when neither was working,
and when Bender or Coombs pitched
Tupsy Hartsel held down one OF the
coaching jobs. They told the batter
by word In q line OF coaching talk
whether straight fast ball, curve
or q waste ball was coming. This
method was not 30 effective as read
ing the catcher's signals, but 1t was
almost as good.
