Oil Engines Enthuse Spectators At Motor
 Boat Show in Palace

New York, Feb. 23-When the mo- tor boat show resumes today in Grand Central Palace it will be 100 per cent. perfect. Several of the ex- hibitors who had been delayed be- cause of traffic conditions got in over Sunday, and were immediately plac- ed in position. These included the boat displays of the George I4awley & Son Corporation and the Luders Marine Construction Company. It was necessary to get special perrnis- sion to move the LawIey exhibit, be- cause of rail congestion
 The excellent attendance at the show goes far to prove the interest in water sports this year. The fact that the America Cup races are to be staged here in July, and that the Harnsworth Trophy events are to be contested abroad, in England, in August has greatly stimulated the boating world.
 Engines and fuel are topics on which a motor boat, or an automobile enthusiast will always talk, and the high cost of gasoline has caused wide spread interest in other fuels and also in engines that burn other fuels At the show are motor boat engines that burn gasoline, kerosene and crude oil. For cheapness experiment have proven that crude oil is popular with users of small motor boats.

LONDOS MEETS
 LEWIS ON MAT
 IN N. Y. MAR. 2

New York, Feb. 23-Jim Londos, the Greek wrestling champion, and tStrangler'' Lewis were matched yes Madison Square Garden, on March 2, Q week from tomorrow. The two great grapplers were brought togeth- CT by Promoter Jack Curley after Londos and Billy Sandow, the man ager of Lewis, wound up a heated
 discussion over the ability of the
 ''Srangler'' and Londos.
 Londos told Sandow that he could
 throw any man in the world except
 Joe Stecher and this immediately
 brought forth a challenge by Sandow on the part of his wrestler. Londos
 jumped at the opportunity and it did | a set of articles signed. This will bring together two of the most popu- lar grapplers that ever trod a mat | for both are famous for their sensa- | tionaI matches before the fans of | this city.
 When Londos batt1ed Stecher the l other night he demonstrated he was | a wrestler of the highest calibre. His l display of gameness and offense | made him one of the real heroes o1 l the game of supermen. Though he l was eventually forced to succumb tc l the skill and strength of the cham | pion, he gave Stecher the most ter. | rife struggle he ever engaged in. IT ] fact, Stecher doesn't want any more | of Londos for some time.

 at Race Track

New York, New York, Feb 23- Startling rumors come out of Havana in regard to John McGraw- Iris said ! that he will not leave for San Antonio even on March l. Some go so far as to declare that the leader of the Giants is considering resigning his position. All the stories tell of a deadlock. between McGraw and Chaa IA Stoneham, president of the New York club
 No doubt mos of these yarns are born of the fact that McGraw has not busted himself much this winter with the affairs of his baseball club While the air is thick with rumor regarding a reconstruction of the Giants inf1eld McGraw remains in Havana, attend- ing to duties as an official of the Cuban-American Jockey and Auto Club, which is conducting a race meeting at the Cuban capital, and m the ownership of which he is asso- ciated with Stoneham-

Goullet and Egg to Arrive Tonight Ready
 For Six Day Event

New York, Feb. 23-Alfred Gou1- let will arrive tonight with Oscar Egg on the French liner La Savoie, his unexpected arrival being a, sur prise to the promoters of the six day race which will take place March T. 13. According to a wireless meSsa ge received last night, Gou1Iet paid a big premium for his reservation to get the same boat with Egg. The latter is anxious to beat GoulIet this time, and arranged passage immedi- ately after signing for the race so as to get in two weeks work before the race.
 Goullet was scheduled to ride an- other sprint meet in Paris, but called it off so that Egg would not have the advantage of a weeks training The two cracks will meet the promot- CTS today and arrange for their part ners. Egg will have his choice, and Gou1fet, although Madden refuses to ride with him, will have little trouble getting a first-class man for the grind. Van Eek, the Holland cham pion, is also a passenger on the same boat.

PENN CLINCHES
 1920 PENNANT
 IN BASKETBALL

New York, Feb 23-It is practi- cally all over now but the presenta- tion of the flag in the Intercollegiate Basketball League race. Cornell, which was counted on to check the rush of Pennsylvania for the pennant, failed utterly at Philadelphia on Sat urday night and succumbed to the Red and and Blues dazzling attack. The season is fast on the wane and the Quakertown students have yet to be beaten by any opponent.
 To date the Pennsylvania, have won 14 straight victories - including one each over their five league rivals and already have two legs on the Heppe trophy. If they win again this year they will gain permanent pos session of thee up. CornelPs last de- feat was largely due to the fact that Bastian and Cornish. it's two star guards were out of the game because of scholastic deficiencies.
 Princeton handed Yale a rude jolt by it's overwhelming victory at Prince ton on Saturday afternoon and the Tigers are tied with Cornell for third place. Yale holds second place by a close margin.
 The race for the individual scoring honors is exceptionally close. Cap tain Deforest Van slyck of Yale, re- tains the lead with S8 points, but Porter of Cornell and Sweeney of Penn, are close behind with TO each, being tied for second position. Sweeney has managed to annex his total in five games, while Porter has played in six and Van Siyck in seven. Sweeney therefore, stands an excellent chance of going into the lead shortly. Porter has scored the most floor goals, having IS to his credit. Sweeney has II. Fffty-four of Van Slyck's points were made from the foul line. Farrell. the Columbia cap tain, is far behind in fourth place, with 3S points

ROPER OPPOSES NEW TIME PLAN
 FOR FOOTBALL

Boston, Feb. 2S.-Bil Roper, coach of Princeton, is opposed to the new idea of eliminating the watch, and the 40 plays to a period in the foot bali game Bill believes that such in novations will not prevent any stall ing in the game or improve the sport one iota. Roper appears to have the right idea. There never was a sport when there wasn't more or less stall ing in it. Take a foot race, a, boxing match, a wrestling contest, or any other sport, one would care to mem tion, and there will be a time when some stalhng will crop up. Of course like everything it can be carried to excess and should be stopped and generally is, no matter who the cham pion or who the team, they will gen. orally husband. their strength for the crucial test or the pnyscho1ogical moment when it comes, and which usually spells either victory or defeat to the champion.
 Incidentally if some of the rulers of the football game devoted as much time and trouble requiring all foot hall players to be numbered during a game they would be accomplishing far more for the sport than any other idea they could think of.
 The men that play the game are perfectly satisfied with it, and con- ! sidering that the game has hardly had a chance to get back on its fec / after the war at least at this time it is not opportune to do any dicker- ing with the rules. We want the game improved if there are any req improvements to be made, but every thing considered the old pigs1in game looks about right just as it stand. -r today.

Can't Drive Huston
 Out, He Declares Enemies In American League Have Been Trying Make Col. Ruppert Split With His Partner and
 Him Out

New York, Feb. 23 - The efforts of Ban Johnson's Faithful Five" to drive Colonel Til Huston out of base ball will amount to nothing but a lot of wasted energy. Ever since the American League meeting in Chicago, when the insurgents won their fam ous victory, certain members of the defeated force have been trying to oust Huston.
 Ten minutes after the peace treaty had been signed a Western club own CT told Colonel Ruppert: "Now, the next thing is to buy out Illusions in terests in the New York club"
 But Ruppert has no intention of splitting with his partner In fact, he declared last night: Huston and I started baseball together and when we quit we will quit together Unable to swing Ruppert to their way of thinking, the Faithful Five verify believe that by slandering and belittIing Huston in the American 1 Leagues official organ he will quit. | They have another guess coming to l them. I have been insulted by better papers" declared Huston laughingly l last night.
 'In their efforts to place the blame | for the baseball war" said Col Illus | ton, ''there are a number of club l owners who declare that I was re- ! sponsib1e for the whole shooting | match. So they have decided to drive me out of baseball. My reply to them
 is that Col. Ruppert and myself are | going to leave no stone unturned ir l our efforts to give New York 3 pennant winner this season There
 isn't enough money in the world to
 make me sell my interests in the ] Yankees at this time.'

NEWS BY SORTS OF sp0RTS--LVE LOCAL GOSSIP :
Chief Bender Says
 Spitba11 Must Go
New Haven Manager Claims Freak Delivery Is Harmful to Baseball and That Batting Would Be Increased
 Without It This Year

New Haven, Feb. 23-George Weiss, owner of the New Haven baseball club, is in receipt of a communica- ton from Manager Chief Bender in which he advocates that steps be taken to have the spit ball and other forms of freak pitching abolished in the Eastern League. Bender, who enjoys the reputation of being one of the best pitchers that ever tossed up a ball and who expects his regular turn in the box for the New Haven club, does not attribute his success to freak pitching. He believes that to allow pitchers to use the spit ball, shine ball and other freak deliveries | is unfair to batters and felders. The recent move on the part of big | league moguIs in banning freak pitch 1 ing is a good thing for the game" writes Bender. ''The Eastern League would do well to follow the same 1 course as it will result in increased hitting, and when the spit ball finally l goes, in better fedlng on the part of 1 the fielders.
 The use of the spit ball. you know, is often responsible for wild | throws by the fielders. Don't believe anybody who tells you that the Iemery ball or the shine ball are mostly myths. There's no doubt that they are realities and that they have been
 used successfully. And it is a cer-
 tainty that the ban against them will
 decrease the effectiveness of sucf
 pitchers as Hod Eler and Eddie Ci-
 cotte.
 Take Eddie Cicotte for instance He was never a speed-baH pitcher be
 fore he started to use the sinner. H'
 pitches much differently than he diC in the days when he was trailing alon: with mediocre twirlerS.
 ''The passing of the splitter afte
 this year will give batters anothe boost for it is a certainty that goOt
 spit ball pitchers could never prov
 as effective using ordinary method
 of pitching.
 What do you suppose Ed Walsh o Jack Chesbro would have amounte to without the splitter? It is probabl that neither would have ranke : among the really great twirlers.'

(By Ed. Hugh@.)

One of the hardest battles old Joe tIvhe Barbadoes Demon,' ever had was when he was getting his start in the lznuckIe industry in Bos- ton. That was some 20 years ago when the co1ored men cut a wide swath in fistic circles and were as plentiful in ring doings as presidential candidates in the political ring just now. Joe used to hang around a livery stable in Boston where another gentleman of his own shade was employed man. touring equines. The last named also nouriShed upholstered mitt ambitions md when not buckHng on nose-bags md martingaleSs he practiced the art of fist finging with Scaldy Quinn and other rising black celebrities of the ring.
 Walcott and Black Jeff,' for so he called himself, got into an argument one day which resulted in Black Jeffs" issuing a def to the embryo Giant Killer whom he referred to as that little black bo1I-weevil" A prominent lodge in town arranged for the two to mingle at their monthly smoker.
 WaIcott was, g. world beater, almost from the start of his career and 'tBlack Jeff was no fool in the ring either. When the gong rang science was pigeon-holed and caution had no part in the display. Walcott tore into Jeff with his customary guSto and the two dove-tailed heads and discharged blows with machine-gun rapidity. The house was in an uproar when they sought their seats at the end of the round.
 The second was an infringement of the E'biff-bop" copyrights of the
 
 or side-step in the entire proceedings. Every blow was released with the firm intention of lifting the mortgage. Walcott took a horizontal eight-sec- orrd siesta from one of Jeff's smacks and the latter could have used his sleeping bag on one occasion before the round ended. So conscientious were both men to reduce the other to wreckage that St. Bartholomew looked like Newport lawn fete when the men reeled to their corners. There was no sagging of destruc- tive ambitions In the third, either, Walcott banged Jeff on the chin al- most knocking him into one of the open barouche's in the livery stable a mile away. Jeff then spilled Joe with a sockdolager on the eye. Joe,s wick went out for the evening. Both were punch1nS on SIX cy1nQerS but
 working on one eye gear. The men were all in at the bell. Anybody s fight.
 Near Jeff's corner was a loud !, mouthed sharp who was continually l criticising both men and weighing
 their chances. Its simply a question | of gameness, now'' piped he lighting
 a cigar. And this Walcott is an
 awfuIly game coon." Here Jeff turned his ear to listen. 'tWhy do you know 9 ! continued the critic, "Joe would rather die than quit to this hack drTver.''
 | At this Jeff quietly wrapped a towel around his shoulders and clap
 ping a cap on his bumpy head arose GnsteadiIy and addressed the assem- ! blaze: tGent1emen, I retire from this we're incounter. I'm too game a man i to die in a prize-ring!'

CLAIM WILLARD VICTIM
 OF FOUL BLOWS

New York, Feb. 23-The marked difference in the interpretation and enforcement of boxing rules and reg u1atiOns in this country and England is well illustrated in the impressions gained from witnessing the film views of the Dempsey Willard heavy weight champion contest The nov ies of this bout have been exhibited privately several times in the United States One or two pugilistic experts have raised the claim that the pie lures clearly show that Dempsey foul ed Willard in the first round by hit ting the title holder while he was down. They found little support, however, for their changes.
 The same films viewed through English eyes recently brought forth several articles by prominent pugilis- tic writers who charge that Willard was fouled not once, but several times and that under English boxing rules, Dempsey would have been disqualifi- fled and ordered from the ring. The following is a typical English view of the affair as printed in one of the most prominent London sport dai1ies: ''In that single round (the first) l Willard was sent down no fewer than l seven times, but on three occasions
 
 | cording to the spirit and letter of the rules of boxing in this country. Each 1 time Willard was put down Dempsey l practically stood over him ready tC 1 strike again and would have done SC | had not the referee got in front o1 him and pushed him away; but or the three occasions specially mention i ed Willard was hit while still no more than half way to an erect position and helpless to defend himself. Af- ter being sent down for the sixth time and while still grasping the middle 1 rope and struggling to rise Willard was hit again, and again, until ht half rolled, half sank, to the floor ir 1 a neutral corner for the seventh time In England Dempsey would have beer disqualified then, if he had not beer when he committed any one of hi! previous technical breaches

SLIM BRENNAN MUST PLEASE OR
 LOSE LICENSE

New York, Feb. 23-Judging from an announcement apparently emanat- ing from the office of the New Jer- sey Boxing Commission, it appears that Slim Brennan has received the appointment to the position of third man in the ring during the Kilbane' VaIger fracas at the Newark Sports men Club next Wednesday night un- der conditions rather trying on the official. It is set forth that if tho contest does not to the commits sioners appear to have been waged on it's merits the referee will be pen alized by the revocation of his H. cense. From this it is evident tha' unless the referee takes action in tha event he sees anything in the bout to arouse his suspicion he will be the chief sufferer.
 It is not understood that even # the referee were to stop the bout and send the men out of the ring oan the ground that one or both were not trying the commissioners would pen aIize one or both boxers.
 This action by the commission un- questionably grew out of the per formance of KiIbane at the Jersey ball grounds last summer when he refused to take the offensive against Burns till threatened by the officials with severe discipline.
 Va1ger may be a more formidable opponent for Kilbane than was Burns, and the featherweight champion may have much trouble with the challeng- CT for the title, and possibly may be beaten. Nevertheless, the referee and commissioners will be justified in keeping a sharp eye on the shifty Clevelander.
