ONLY CHEAPER BOATS IN

A. T. Griffith, commodore of the Peo-

follows in the Peoria Herald-Tran-
script:
"a death blow has been dealt to
high class speed boat racing under
the auspices Of the Mississippi Valley
association If an Associated Press dis
patch from La Crosse, Wis, Feb. II,
can be credited.
This dispatch quotes Secretary w.
V. Kidder as stating that no eastern
capitalist, or powerful boat building
concern will be permitted to partici-
pate in Mississippi association regat-
tas in the future and that limitations
will be placed conf1ning racing to a
cheaper class OF boats. He complains
that wealthy fasteners and engine
builders have captured all the money
and glory.
HURTS THE ASSOCIATION.
"Just the instant the Mississippi
Valley association fears to meet the
world IN the motor boat racing game
just that instant the association will
cease to be recognized as a factor in
the racing world. Eastern men never

on the Floor.

In the basketball game at the high
school last evening between the West
End Settlement Hawks and the high
school quintet the Hawks had little
trouble in defeating the high school
boys, the final count being 40 to IA.
The battle was unusually rough and
near the close of the first half Arno
Tremann, center for the high school
and Paul Swanson, his opponent,
were put out of the game by. Referee
V. c. Hall for INDUCING in a fistie
encounter. Both players had been
using rough tactics and Mr.. Hall
thought it best that they retire be
fore any serious trouble developed
AS Coach Corneal had no suitable
substitutes to put in, Frank Wilcher
a postgraduate student at the school
and a member of last years FIVE
was called upon to help them
out, but the Hawks protested his
playing because his name was not OF
the eligible list. After much argu
ing it was finally decided that Bliss
hicke, a member of the freshman
team, should go in, although his
name is not on the eligible list.
In all, Coach Corneal used ter
men in the game, two OF whom were
freshmen.

OSBORN WRITES LETTER.
ITO show how widespread the SEN
timent against Secretary Kidder's
statement reaches, the following let
ter from President E. S. Osborn of the
Western association is herewith re-
produced:
Chicago. H., Feb. Is, 1912.-Com-
modore A. T. Griffith, Peoria, Ill:
saw in the News the other night a no
tice that the Mississippi Valley asso-
citation are restricting the type and
size of the boats entering their races
What are they trying TO do-kill the
speedboat game? agree that we
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1912-02-21

should have restricted classes for club
racing, but. for big annual speed boat
events, they should be turned open
and allow the men to go the limit.
People who go to see speed boat
race go to see fast boats; you can see
a launch race any time. There is no
satisfaction going to speed boat race
and seeing a parade of family
launches, when in other sections of
the country speed boats are tearing
up the water and breaking records.
Yet it is the Mississippi Valley asso-
cations business, and none of mine;
but their action puts the town out Of
the circuit that l hoped to see estab-
lished this year.
REGATTA FOR CHICAGO.
att is practically settled that the
next annual w. P. B. A. regatta will
be held in Chicago. 1t looks now as
If we would nave about $4,000 to
spend, and we will have a naval week
here in Chicago, with marine parades,
fireworks, races; in fact, the biggest
event of the kind ever pulled off in
the country. Every cruiser on the
Great Lakes that can make the trip
will be here and plans will be made to
arrange for river boats to be taken
care of. The racing men will not be
at cent of expense for handling their
boats after they reach Chicago. They
will be taken off the cars and put in
the water and taken out as often as
desired without charge.
Very truly yours,
(signed) E. S. OSBORN,
President %
DAVENPORT To BE PITIED.
'If this ruling of w. v. Kidder holds
good the city of Davenport, where the
next Mississippi regatta is to be held
in July, is to be pitied, for that city is
already making preparations to enter
tain a regatta of national importance.
which now apparently is to be con-
verted into semi-local affair.
"Just how the fixed racing rules OF
the association have been so swiftly
| juggled is not understood, either
These racing rules were made under
the regime of r. H. Combs as presi
dent and were drafted by commit
tee composed Of Thomas H. Webb Of
Peoria, Major Meigs Of Keokuk and
Charles P Hanley of Muscatine. They
provide an overall measurement az
/ the only restriction in the four recog
nized classes. They are open to tbs
world. They form part of the consti
tuition of the association and IL they
have been altered no formal notices
have been sent out to that effect"
