ed with a score of 202. Then he
walloped the NAPLES for 213. Then
he took another hitch in his suspend
ers and started in to work the pin
boy to death. When he got through
striking, he had fourteen Of them to
his credit (strikes, not pin boys. In
the next game, he started out after
another 800 score, but missed the
groove once or twice, and finished
with 27S.
Old Man Smith thought he had his
pedestal all to himself when he rolled
800 the other day. but Safer made
him move over to make room for one
more. Smith still has high average

Some Of the other sharks Of the

When Rodman Wanamaker is ready

When Lieutenant Porte arrived from

War Would Call for 100 Aeropanes.

not expected, for the reason that II would
not stand in a case where war munitions
were required by the government
Il IL conceded that more than one hum
dred aeroplanes would be required by the
United States in the event Of war with
Mexico, and the prospects are that all OF
the builders OF reliable machines Will be
taxed TO capacity during the next few
weeks.
As the Curtiss machine is built to-day
II can develop a speed Of oighty-hve miles
an hour. and also can fly as slowly as
forty miles an hour. This particular
feature allows the aviators to reach any
given point quickly and also to slow
down for the purpose OF making observa-
tons and preparing maps OF the coun-
try. In case the machine is fired upon 1t
Is merely necessary 10 open the throttle
and get out OF range quickly.
Trials of the new type before govern
ment officials have proved highly sue
cessful The plane has climbing ca
pacity Of 400 feet a minute. which is
much greater than the tests require.
The navy officers are showing marked
preference for hydroaeroplanes over fly
ing boats. owing to the increased range
Of vision, due to the absence OF the boat
body. Also the hydroaeroplanes are
lighter and leave the water more easily.

Another indication OF the activities OF

ROOT MAY RUN AGAIN
Senator Said To Be Reconsid
ering Retirement.

1t is understood that Senator Elihu
Root is seriously reconsidering his deter
mination not to run for the United States
Senate again. Friends here said yester-
day that the appeal that has been made
10 him. not only by the Republican lead
ers in Congress and this state. but also by
men of affairs who have no interest in
politics, had had an effect.
one friend said he felt more than hope
full that the Senator would finally consent
TO run. II he does there will probably be
no opposition TO him in the Republican
primaries. Several prospective candidates
are waiting TO see just what the Senator
will do.
The Senator is well along IN years. and
has given as his reason for not wishing
TO run for the Senate again that he be-
lieyes he has earned his retirement.
