NEW YORK, Feb 4.-The Motor
boat Club of America, that had charge
of the international race for the
Harmsworth trophy and the speed
trials for the Helms one-milc record
trophy, held on September 4, 1912. at
Huntington Bay has thrown out the

The club not only discredits the
time alleged to have been made by
the Tech, Jr, but has awarded the
prize TO Mrs. Paul A. A. Blackton's
Baby Reliance III. which covered thV
course at the average speed Of 1928
knots, or 3711 statute miles per hour.
TO compete for this prize the boats
were tried six times over the measured
nautical mile course. Tech, Jr., Re-
lance III and Panther Cub were the
competitors. In one OF the miles the

Was Traded for ShOriStOp
Dietz by Manager COCkilI
on Saturday

Concerning the transfer Of Joe
Myers to Wilkes-Barre the Harris
burg Patriot says:
Old Joe Myers has gone
One OF the chief mainstays for the
glory Of Harrisburg fans in the past
four seasons, and classed by many as
the best pitcher in the Tri-State
League. with which he has been con-
nectcd since the outlaw days, Veter-
an" Joe Myers was traded in a deal
pulled off Saturday by Manager Cock
III and Manager Clymer of the
Wilkos-Barre team of the New York
State League
For the big pitcher Manager Cock
i'll received Shortstop Paul Dietz, a
spry yOungster who broke into big
league two years ago and who play
cd during the latter uart OF last sea-
son with Wilkes-Barre, From all
accounts. the trade was a good one
for both teams, as Cockill was in
great need OF a good shortstop, and
Bill Clymer was short of pitchers.
II is possible that Myers would have
held off this season on account OF the
lower salary limit and the deal at
this time when fair players are avail
able is probably for the best. A dis
patch from Wilkes-Barre last night
says:
Wilkes-Barre Pa, Feb A deal
was pulled through on Saturday by
which Wilkes-Barre trades ShortstOp
Paul Dietz for Pitcher Joe Myers of
Harrisburg.
"Dotz broke into the game at Erie
two years ago. was later drafted by
Rochester and sent to Syracuse I'm
1912. Wilkes-Barre played him dur
ing the latter part Of last season, and
he made good with the Barons. He
is fast and gingery fielder and a
fair batsman"
Joe Myers was sent to York in 1905
by Connie Mack. and two years later
went to Reading with the club He
started with Reading the following
year but was later sent to Harris
burg I'm 1908 he won 20 games and
