u. S. Has Air Motor
of Greatest Power

Washington, Aug. 18-Experts of
the army, navy and other branches Of
the government who have been work
ing night and day to perfect the most
powerful airplane motor ever devised
have succeeded
''The Liberty Motor" has stood the
test. It is an adaptation on a magnf-
fed scale of the principles underlying
other motors, but is so constructed
that it develops a greater horsepower
in a lighter mechanism than anything
heretofore used.
The mechanism is being guarded
with the greatest secrecy. All that
can be said is the motor has proved
that it can drive an airplane faster
than one was ever driven before. AS
speed is the vital requisite to supre-
macy of the air, the importance of
the. new motor is apparent.
Its construction is SO simple that
the parts can be standardized with
relative ease, so that duplicates may
be turned out by the thousands In
automobile shops.
In addition to the perfection of
1.-THE Liberty Motor" it was announc-
ed today that the United States is

UNAssIsTED TRIPLE PLAYS

Prior to the beginning of the pres
ent century an unassisted triple play
was unheard of, and many fans in
sisted it was impossible. Paul Hines,
of the Providence National League
club, had\been credited with such
feat in 1878, but the record showed
that Hines had made only double
play upassisted, and that he had had
help in completing the triple play.
The first really authentic unassisted
triple play was pulled off fifteen years
ago today, Aug. fs, 1902, by Harry
O'Hagan of the Rochester Eastern
league team, in a game against Jer-
sey City. In 1904 Larry SchlafIy, of
Portland. Ore, made such a play
against Seattle, The next year Sim
Murch of the Manchester New Eng
land league did it at New Bedford.
Cleveland was the first big league city
to see such a feat, Neal Ball turning
the trick against the Red Sox in 1909.
In 1911 Walter Carlisle of the Yer
non club of the Pacific Soast league
pulled off a triple play unassisted
against the Angels. Third baseman
Aiken, of the Waco, Texas leaguers
and shortstop Foreman, of the Kan
kakeo Illinois-Missouri league team,
got into the Hall of Fame in 1912.

CHAMPIONSHIP MATCHES. za
EASILY MADE IN Old DAYS

To arrange a championship match
in these days is a matter for much
elaboration and ostentation. The
managers and press agents Of the
champion and challenger are busy
for months before the great event
1t is refreshing to compare old time
methods with those now in vogue, and
to do SO one has but to turn back to
lis years ago today, Aug. Is. 1902,
Jem Belcher was then the heavy
weight champion of England. He had
defeated all the big men of the ring
of his day. including Joe Berks. whom
he had licked twice. At the particular
time he had a clean slate and was
taking 1t easy, with no matches in
sight On this august day Belcher,
then only twenty-one years old. was
enjoying himself at the Camberwell
Fair. While strolling about the
grounds he came upon a little crowd
of men listening to the .harangue of
a man whom Jem recognized as joe
Berks. the big butcher-pugilist he
had twice fought and defeated. Berks
had been drinking, and was loudly as
sorting that he could and would
thrash .Belcher at the first opportun-
ity. s
Jem. hearing this, pushed his way
through the crowd and asked Berks
what he meant by making such state
ments. Berks answered that he was
a man of his word and in order to
prove it he challenged Belcher right
then and there. Now, although Jem
was champion, he wasn't inclined to
let such a challenge pass and the men
and their followers adjourned imme-
| diately to the bowling green back of
the Cook Tavern and prepare to have
| it out Both men took off their coats
and without any further preliminaries
rushed at each other. Jem landed a
blow on Berks' face and another on
his ear and Berks went down.
There was a great outcry, Berk's
| followers claiming that he was to
| drunk to fight, and demand a post
| penement of the contest to the fol-.
| lowing day. Belcher consented and
on the next day Joe Berks. now quite
sober, faced Belcher in the ring to.
| fight for the championship. Belcher,
of course, had everything to lose and
nothing to gain, but. he was a, fighter
and not a financier, and he took the
chance and fought 81 for love- all
though a few sporting men voluntar-
| lily raised a purse.
| In this fight Joe Berks adopted his
usual rushing tactics and several
times Belcher was floored by the Inn
pact, but when the tenth round had
been fought Berks was so badly bat
tered that he was ready to throw up
the sponge. If his seconds had per-
nitted him to do it. They forced him
to go on until in the fourteenth round
| Berks was knocked down and unable
to get UP. Thus Belcher maintained
his title to the championship and the
sum he got for doing it was $3.50.
Say what you like, they were better
sports in those days. :,

Ted "Kid" Lewis
Easily Outpoints
Less Clever Rival

New York, Aug. 1S.The ctevernase
and superior knowledge of the finer
points of boxing, which is one Of his
chief attributes, last night gave Ted
(k1d) Lewis, the welterweight cham
plon, the honors over Mike O'Dowd, a
st. Paul middleweight, in their ten
round bout at the st. Nicholas A. C.
The showing Of the newly crowned
champion was a disappointmen to his
followers, for he did lot of unneces-
sary clinching and showed a desire to
take things easy.
ODoWd was always willing and
did all the aggressive work during the
bout, SO that with Lewis's laxity it
appeared to many as if the ST. Paul
boxer as. accomplishing the most
damaging work. The English boxer
landed by far the cleaner and more
damaging blows.
The sonly glimpses the crowd had
OF Lewis's real ability came in the
seventh and eighth round, when he
danced in and about his sturdy, plung-
ing opponent and easily kept out OF
harms way and Of O'Dowd's failing
arms. The latter was made to miss
awkwardly in these two rounds and
despite the fact that h, carried the
lighting from bell to bell he accom-
plished nothing of effect
At close quarters. during the ma
jority of the rounds, O'Dowd made
good use of an advantage of 10
pounds which he had in weight. The
English boxer, however, had little
difficulty in keeping out of the way
or ODowds heavy blows.
The only rounds which really could
be given to O'Dowd were the fourth
and ninth sessions, in which he fore
ed the fighting continually and, dis
regarding Lewis's blows to the face,
kept plunging in and smothering the
adversary's efforts, meanwhile colln-
tering for points himself.
Three times during the bout Lewis
went to the floor of the ring, but on
each occasion it was plain that he had
slipped and was not sent down by a
blow. The weights were: Lewis, IA
"a pounds; O'Dowd 1856 pounds.
The Twelfth Regiment band enliv.
ened the evening with patriotic and
popular airs, and Joe Cox, the former
heavyweight boxer of Missouri, ap-
peared in the ring in the costume of a
United States sailor and was given a
big ovation.
