new SPEED CRAFT
ARE BEING BUILT
Couple of Promising Boats VIII
Be on Exhibition at
Chicago Show.

Two racing boats which promise to
achieve fame next season and which
will undoubtedly be seen in racing
events in this state, are under con-
struction and are expected to be COM
pleted in time to participate in the
mid-winter races at Miami. Florida,
in January. Rock Island speed boat
fans are familiar with the famous
Ankle Deep" which went to England
on the American international team
and i'll her day was one OF the most
famous racing machines in the world.
She was owned by Count Casimir Man
kowski, an eastern sportsman, and
vas destroyed by fire during races at
Buffalo this fall. Count Mankowski
has ordered the new boat from the
designers of the famous family of
'DiXies," which held worlds records
for years, and she will be powered
with two engines of eight cylinders
and 250 horsepower each, the same
type of engine, in fact, with which
Baby Speed Demon ii established a
new worlds record of 1884 miles an
hour during the past summer. The
other boat is a 25-foot single step n.y.
droplane. being built for Carl G. Fisher
of Indianapolis, whose 'Eph" was
once one CT the country's famous dis
placement racers. The new Fisher
boat will carry 200 horsepower mo-
tor
1t is considered probably that Rock
Island speed enthusiasts will have a
chance TO see both the boats at the
Chicago National motor boat show in
February as well as Baby Speed De
mon H. and the famous Chicago boat
''Disturber W." which with her "A
cylinders and 1,SOO horsepower, set a
new worlds record of SCI miles an
hour at Chicago Oct. 20. "Disturber

England by her owner. Commodore

There has been noticed of late a
growing prediction among fighters to
engage only in short no-decision fights.
Pugs have found this such a pleasant
and easy manner of earning a compe-
tence that they are becoming most re-
luctant to work harder. OF course.
fight fans and promoters are annoyed.
The decadence of the heavyweights
may account for this in a fashion.
The stouter boys have been the ones
TO stage the Foreground encounters
and with fewer heavies OF any i'm
trance there have been fewer long
fights. The shorter fights have shown
that they can nil a house and fighters
OF all classes have discovered that
they can get good wages for less
work.

made public recently. Daubert was in
126 games, at bat 474 times, made 156
hits and scored SO runs, his batting
average being 329, an unusually low
mark to get a league title. Beals
Becker of Philadelphia. with a percent
age of 1925. and Jack Wheat of Brook
lyn, with a percentage of .319, took
second and third places, respectively.
George Burns of the Giants led in
scoring, having crossed the plate 100
times. Burns also led in stolen bases,
with 81 purloined sacks. Gabby era
vath of the Phillies pulled down the

In a no-decision fight a pug is COM
pletely at his ease. His title. if he
has one, is not at all endangered. nor
is his opponent inspired to try to cop
it. He can stall through most OF the
rounds and his bursts of speed are
but few and occasional. TToward the
closing rounds he will dash about a
bit just to propitiate the fans. After
all he must give them a little for
their money.
Fighers should take heed that such
behavior threatens the goose that pro-
vides the golden eggs. That much
suffering boob. the public. will stand
fer an awful lot. but it's long worm
that has no turning. Pugs may dis
cover on later day that they'll have
TO work harder or go back to the shoe
shining parlor.

SAFETY FIRST IS
BASEBALL SLOGAN
Organized Game Heads Looking
for Places in Which They
Can Economize.

New York, Dec. S.-"Safety first
seems to be the slogan of organized
baseball magnates gathered in annual
meetings here.
The sorely harassed eastern mag
mates held a six hours session and
then adjourned until today. President
Barrows of the league came out
strong for 14O games instead of the
orthodox 154. Here is where the
safety first entered, as with a short
err schedule it is believed that the
lea CUE will be in better condition to
keep the wolf from the door.
"A schedule of 40 games said
President Barrows, Ito my mind will
be adequate, as 154 games make the
season entirely too long"
This view of the situation is against
all precedent, as heretofore the mag
mates have argued that the longer
the season the more money will be
taken in az the gate" Apparently
they have seen a great light and are
now ready to profit by the disastrous
season of 1914.
Although it was not officially given
out it is known that the Federal
league and its raids was up for discus
sion, and many were the anathemas
hurled at the pugnacious Independent

admitted that the Federal league put

Babi-Eoussa sounds like the name
of a Persian poet, but as a matter Of
fact it's the family name of an East
Indian pig. The babi-roussa has rath-
er long legs for pig, and it is to these
slender shanks he owes his curious
name. Babi means pig, and rOussa is
the Malayan word for deer, hence the
babi-roussa or hOg-deer. The great
est of the hogs deer's troubles are
his horns. They grow out about a
foot long and then curve in and often
pierce the thick skin of the forehead.
Before they reach the tin-grown'
stage, however, the tusks or horns
are useful to the babi-roussa, as they
are formidable weapons in an attack
on the enemy.
