NEW TROUBLE FOR
NATIONAL MOGULS
Deal Involving Transfer of Taft
Holdings Is Cause of
Trouble
WANT LOCAL OWNERSHIP

National League elub-owners are
facing conditions brought about by
the removal of Charles W. Murphy
which are as perplexing as the
original trouble was nauseating. -Four
syndicates have entered bids for the
fifty-three shares in the Cubs held by
Charles p. Taft. and Truly Warner,
representing combination of five, in
sists that he has practically bought
/ the Cubs, awaiting only the formal
recognition by Governor John K.
| Iener in the deal. Under the con-
ditions under which the league con-
Quoted housekeeping in the Chicago
club, the new owners must be accept
able to the league. During the meet
| ing in New York, Friday, a final iron

solution of the Cubs ownership
problem
Mr.. Warner AYERS that Charles P
| Taft knew and approved of the ar
rangements whereby the New York
| syndicate was 10 get control of the
| Cubs. 1t was learned yesterday that
one of the distractions to completion
of the deal is the belief by league
officials that the ownership of the
Cubs should be turned over to resi-
dents of Chicago. Several hundred
names were inscribed on a list OF
| those business men of Chicago who
would refuse to patronize the Cubs
under Murphy. With the election OF
! the Cubs president some of the wrath
was softened, but enough damage
already had been done to make il
plain that the situation in Chicago
with popular ownership of the Fed
eral League team there, demands
careful consideration by the Nationa
| League.
From a reliable source information
came yesterday of the belief by Ma
| tional League club-owners that somt
of the money in the New York syn
dicate came from a man whose re-
turn to baseball would not be well
| coined. Mr.. Warner refused to name
others besides himself in the combi
nataion, but he admitted that one oil
the main objects of the purchase oil
the Cubs was to get control of the
grounds for other purposes. Il have
always believed that the money earn
ing powers of the big baseball plants
could be greatly enhanced by using
the grounds for other lines of sports
| or theatricals. There could be at
fractions in addition to baseball
which would increase the popularit,

PENN HAS WEALTH
OF CREW MATERIAL
Philadelphia Boys Expect to
Show Up Well When Nickalls
Stroke Is Mastered.
VETERAN CANDIDATES

Penn expects to become a factor in
the collegiate rowing circles as soon
as the new Stroke being introduced by
the new coach, Vivian Nickalls, the
famous English oarsman, is suffi-
GENTLY mastered by the candidates.
Although it will take probably more
than a season to effectively change to
new stroke, different-in many ways,
nevertheless it is expected that Nick
alls will develop a crew which will be
above the average this year. The
stroke used by the new coach is one
which gives a much greater swing to
the boat than the one used by Ellis
Ward, the former coach. Nickalls
teaches the aorsman to keep his back
rigid throughout, reaching out as far
as possible and finishing well up on
his chest.
NickalIs has a wealth of material
from which to pick his crews. Only
three men will be missing from last
years varsity crews. Captain Alex
ander and Madeira were graduated in
June. Crane, who was considered the
strongest oar in the boat last season,
will not row this year, owing to the
fact that his final examinations come
the day before the race at Poughkeep-
sic. Garvin, who was taken i'll two
days before the intercollegiate race
last June has recovered fully and
probably will find place in this year s
boat He is of the tall. rangy type,
which is the kind of oarsman Nickalls
prefers. The other members of last
years crew are all in the junior class
and will be eligible to row again this
season.
The new coach expects to have less
trouble with his freshman crew than
with the varsity, for, as he says:
"They have nothing to unlearn." The
freshman candidates are not quite as
heavy lot of youngsters as he would
like to have, but there are number
of well-built lads among the candi-
dates.

BLIZZARD STRIKES
THE BICYCLE TRACK
Work of Laying New Surface at
Vel0drOne Will Be Great
ly Delayed.
PLANS OF RIDERS UPSET

The Nelodrome has been hard hit
by the blizzard of yesterday and today
and as a result the work of laying
the new surface on the track will be
greatly delayed. At the east end of
the hleachers there is bank OF snow
fifteen feet deep resting on three feet
of solid ice, 1t will be some time be-
fore the work of laying the surface
can be resumed and there will prob
ably be little training on the track
before the opening meet.
A number of the professionals who
have wintered in Newark expected to
start training today, but all hope of
outdoor work has been abandoned.
Frank Cavanagh and some of the
other big fellows, who are far over
weight, will train at the local Y. NJ
G.. A. until outdoor training is posi-
BILE.
The opening meet at the Revere
Beach track, at the shore resort near
Boston, has been scheduled for April
10. which is Bunker Hill day, and a
big holiday in Massachusetts. George
Wiley, the American paced champion,
who signed a Cycle Racing Associa-
ton contract last week, will be one
of the starters in the principal event
on the card.
Bobby Walthour will sail fer Europe
Wednesday, The Southern paced rider
arrived here from Europe less than
two weeks ago, being called home on
account of the illness of Mrs. Wal
thour Bobby has contracts with the
promoters of the tracks in Brussels,
Paris. Berlin, Leipsic and other Euro
pean cities for races which will keep
him busy until April 10. His contract
IN America starts May 1, and he will
sail for America Immediately after
his last race abroad.
Calling off the Toronto six-day race
is a big disappointment to a number
of the pike riders in this city George
Cameron, who returned from Europe
last Wednesday, rushed home follow
ing the Brussels race expressly for the
Toronto grind. Cameron could have
secured engagements abroad and is
now sorry that he returned to Amer
lea so soon. Cameron returned to
America on the Holland
liner Noordam. George says the Moor
dam is n submarine and stuck her
nose under the briny at Rotterdam
and never came up until she reached
Sandy Hook.
The annual de luxe edition of the
welt (Wheel World, which is
just out, credits Bobby Walthour with
the greatest number of victories in
paced races in Europe last season.
This is the fourth year that Bobby has
led in the number of victories in
Europe.

Clips Minute from Record.

In a time trial Berthet lowered the
record for five kilometers by over a
minute, which was quite a remarkable
performance and proved the truth of
the inventors theories. He Travelled
at the rate of thirty-four miles an
hour for the five kilometers, which is
considerably faster than any rider
ever rode unpaced before. AT the
Velodrome Olivier, Berthet, with the
wind shield, caught a tandem team in
seven kometers after having given
them a lead of a half lap.

Built on Scientific Principles.

The, affair is cumbersome and large
and would appear to be an incumber-
ance instead of an aid in piercing the
wind resistance, but this is delu-
sion. Bunau-V arilla explained that
rider is exposing many projecting
surfaces that are hindrance to speed,
the arms, body, legs and every part
of the anatomy opposing the atmos-
phere in such a way as to cause In
creased resistance through their
movement and leaving eddies behind.
The inventor explained that the wind
shield was nothing new, having been
applied to various types of aircraft
and that the air merely meets one
piercing surface and then closes In
behind, greatly reducing the resist
Ance.

RECORDS EASILY BROKEN
"Torpedo's" Size Would Make
1t Awkward for Competi-
ton at VeIodrome.
(From the Paris Correspondent of the
Newark Evening Starr


Newark Evening Starr
PARIS, Feb. 1S.-In the pursuit of
science the Frenchmen undoubtedly
lead the world. There seems to be
nothing the versatile sons of France
will not attempt and while they have
given to the world many inventions
that are a boon to mankind their en-
beavers are often given to ideas of a
freakish sort and they have on Ia
satiable mania for overcoming nature.
Device Is Fish-shaped.
[ was present at three trials of the
wind-cutting device attached to a
bicycle which was invented b.
Etienne Bunau- Carilla. who was
prominent in Panama some years ago,
and it is fair sample of what length
these people will go to gain a "tri-
omphe over nature" The device, pic
lures of which accompany this ar
ticle, is fish-shaped and is construct
ed o. light wood covered with a thin
ia Dlic and the rider, entirely en-
closed, sits on the bike inside the
wlrd-cutter. The idea of the inven-
ton is to enable rider to travel
faster than under ordinary conditions.
In this 1t is q marked success. Mar
eel Berthet, the holder of the worlds
hour record, and probably the best
unpaced rider in the world. manipu-
lated the invention in the trial l wit
messed, and while he was not in the
best of condition he easily lowered
a number of worlds unpaced records
in one trial, while in the other two
he defeated a tandem team in one
instance and caught three riders in a
pursuit race from opposite sides of
the track in another.

What win He Do With 1t?

But while the invention is a sue
cess and the inventor has scored a
triumph, the question is, what is he
going to do with it? Such an affair
could not be used in open competi-
ton, for there would be hardly room
for three of them on track like the
Newark Velodrome at one time, and
if rider fell while encased in one
of them he would most certainly take
down the entire field. However, the
wind shield is attracting great atten-
ton here, and Berthet has been Of
fered engagements at other tracks
which he will, no doubt, accept, and
thus add to his bank account.
Some Records Shattered.
Among the records that were re-
duced by Berthet in Bunau-V arilla' S
wind shield was the one-kilometer
mark of Perchicot's of 1 minute 9 3-5
seconds, Berthet's time being / min
ute seconds, a mark that was never
credited TO Perchicot, the French Of
ficials believing such fast time impos-
sible. Berthet tried for Japp Eden's
standing start mark for one kilo-
meter of minute 16 3-5 seconds, but
the best he could do was to equal the
record which was established almost
twenty years ago.
