STANDARD GROWS BIGGER.
Takes ON Plants Of the Model En-
sine Co. in P%ittsburg ana Perm.

The Standard Steel Car Company OF
PittOburg, makers OF the Standard Eight.
have taken over the Pittsburg Model
Engine Company. with plants in Pitts
burg and Peru. the former being a new
one of most up to date construction.
This action on the part Of the Stand
Ard is In line with its policy Of becom-
ing a factor not only in the manufac-
ture of automobiles. but In h making
Of automobile motors and parts as well.
The Model Engine Company's assets
in property, buildings and machinery
when : taken over exceeded $1,000. 900.
The change was made advisable by rea.
eon OF the greatly mere sed volume OF
business which the Model Engine COM
pany has In hand and the resultant ne
cessity for additional capital and equip
ment. Under its new ownership the
Model Engine Company will enjoy the
same support that has done 80 much
for the success OF the Standard Steer
Car Company.
The Standard Compansis entry into
the automobile field was made about a
year ago on!y after several years OF
preparation and II has already become
one OF the important factors In this
industry, in which il Is the purpose OF
the management to play an increasingly
prominent part.
The new officers of the Model En-
CINE Gas Company are the executives
who have been responsible for the sue
cess OF the Standard Steer Car Com
pany: j. NJ. Hansen. president william

BUSY GETTING READY
FOR Big AUTO SHOW
Every Available Inch Of Space
Will BE Utilized When
Doors Open.

Grand Central Palace presents a busy
scene Just now. both inside and out
in preparation for the National Auto
mobile Show, which opens there to-
morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. HUI
dreds of workmen are unloading cars
and accessories and installing them ir
their respectiG spaces. while artists are
putting the finishing touches to the deco
rations.
The show will occupy four floors Of
the Palace and It will be "a difficult mat
ter TO find an inch Of space other than
aisle room without some sort OF an ex'
hibit on IL. Yesterday Manager s. A.
Miles stated that an unusually large
number of concerns applied for space
at the last hour and there is not enough
room for the late applicants, The over
fiow Is greater by far than for any
previous exhibition.
Manager Miles and his ret!nue OF
clerks moved yesterday from 7 Fast
Forty-second street to the Grand Cen
trail Palace. where his headquarters will
be from now until the close of the
show. The opening OF the show will be
without formality. The show will last
eight days instead of seven and will be
open New Years Day, The Palace will
be closed to the public on Sunday. The
largest crowd that ever attended a
motor car exhibition Is expected this
year. That there will be more car
dealers at the show than ever before
is certain. as more than 5000 dealers
have applied for tickets.
Alfred Reeves, general manager of the
National Automobile Chamber OF Com
merce. announced yesterday that the
Hon. Thomas p. Gore. the blind Sem
ator from Oklahoma, will be the speaker
at the banquet of the National Automo-
bile Chamber OF Commerce at the Wal
on January 4. Aside from
being a speaker of marked ability, Sem
ator Gore Is a representative of "A great
petroleum producing State, the people
of which are doubly interested In the au-
tomobile industry. After Senator Cores
speech there will be IA special and rather
unique form of entertainment, supplied
by the automobile makers themselves,
which should be Of interest to every one
in the trade.

These figures give some slight idea of
the proportions the marine engine and

yachtsmen are growing more fond OF the

sail vessels have been changed into aux

In their vessels and the dories which
they use on the banks and other fishing
waters are now propelled by motors in
stead of by oars. So 1t is everywhere
the marine motor is crowding all other
means of propulsion very hard.
All the many makes OF marine engines
will be on exhibition at the Motor Boat
Show. which will open n the Grand Cen
trail Palace on January 90. and because
OF the popularity Of this winters exhibit
ton the show committee had to find
larger and more convenient quarters.
The Toreign builders also have been
busy. Thornycrofts. who build motors,
are installing parrafn engines in several
large sailing vessels which recently have
been purchased by a newly formed Dutch
company. A special report issued by the
~Thornycroft Company for the period

The ordinary Individual. who takes
his fight gossip with a grain Of salt over
his breakfast coffee. may never have
heard OF to-nisht's ten round engagement
ut the Pioneer Sporting Club between
Jim Savage and Charlie weinert. And
he may care less. But to the Jersey fan
II In more serious than Santa Claus and
the Fluctuations Of a Happy New Year.
Savage is no world beater-he hasn't
been to date. at least. weinert Is the
mere promising because he has not
fused around no long. He ha fought
some good fights and some not SO. good.
Yet both stack up to the average class
OF the so-called white hope division.
Savage Is evidently not born to the
manor. He is n tough proposition. one
that Is likely at any time to spill the
championship aspirations Of even a bet
ter man. He might be called a big
edition OF Fireman Jim Flynn. lie is
Us likely as not to spring the unex-
pected.
Each Has Mig Following.
weinert Is a pretty good little man.
Not SO bulky as the average run OF
heavyweights, he Is nevertheless speedy
and possessed Of a pretty fair punch.
The fight fans OF Jersey idolize him as
they idolize his facsimile. Young shu-
grue. They mean to flock to the Pio-
neer Sporting Club In large numbers to-
night. That fact they have demon
strated by buying in advance many OF
the very best seats. Jerseyites of the
Interior regions (the Oranges) are com
Ing to root for Weinert. so that IL New
York does Its customary share these two
gladiators of the State beyond the North
River should have y mighty demonstra-
tive gallery.
So far as the interest in the heavy
weight game goes Savage and Weincrt
are the creatures Of circumstance. A
decisive victory for either might change
the complexion of the situation. 1t
looks Just now as II the Jess Willard
Fred Fulton heavyweight championship
match will be a blowup. Dominick Tor
tortch. It is reported from New Orleans,
has withdrawn his support from Tommy
Burns, who now plans to run the Will
lard-Fulton fight alone In the Creole
City on March 4. Such opposition, how
ever. a developed against THU match
both In the Crescent City and elsewhere
that II would not be surprising II some
substitution were made against the
champion OF the world.
h New Orleans promoters have
unsuccessfully to substitute Frank
Moran for Fulton In his first heavy
weight championship match since VIII
a stripped the crown from Jack John
sons brow. Moran is on the fence. II
is a question of money with him.
Wherefore. It is not unlikely that a
series OF elimination trials IN the near
may have some bearing on the
ultimate challenger. Tom Cowler. Al
Reich. Moran. Coffey, Savage and
Weinert are a few Of the heavies to be
heard from within the next fortnight.
For this reason to-night's mill at the
Pioneer A. C.. assumes a most impor-
hue.
