DENIED CHANCE
FOR Speed BOAT
Change in Rules Governing Race
Bring Only Gloom to "ChTis"
Smith.

Algonac. Mich. Dec. Chris"
Smith, the speedpOat builder of Al
gonaC, is disappointed. The wiz
ard" as he is generally known
among power boat enthusiasts, said
during the Harmsworth-G Gold cup
regatta this year at Detroit that in
1922 he would build a hydroplane
capable of loo miles an hour for
Commodore Wood.
Since that regatta, however, the
American Powerboat association,
by altering the rules governing the
gold cup contest, has virtually
eliminated that annual classic as d
contest for speed, leaving the Brit
ish international (Harmsworth)
trophy contest as the only primary
speed race. Whether the HARMS
worth even will be held in 1922 de-
ponds mainly upon the inclination
of foreign powerboat enthusiasts to
challenge for the trophy now held
by Gar Wood of Detroit.
Discrimination of American pow
erboat men 70 compete with Gar
Wood and his so mile an hour boat
for the gold cup trophy. led the
American Powerboat association to
revise the rules for that event, re-
storing it to competition by dis
placement craft
Under the revised rules the gold
cup event Is expected to attract
large field of contenders OF the
runabout type and develop a speed
of from SIS to 10 miles an hour. Gar
Woods Miss America II. with
which he won the event this year,
exceeded so miles an hour in the
one-mile trials for the Lake George
cup.
Chris Smith has built practically
all of Commodore Woods speed
boats and has had the added inter
est in their performance given by
the fact his sons, Jay and Bernard.
have handled the engines for Wood
in all his contests.

football players will be lost to the

time to win the most sensational
ana unexpected victory of the year.
Five of these who played their
games for Illinois this fall have
been on the IlIini outfit Tor the
past four years, starting during

Laurie Walquist, Charles Chuck
Carney. Jack Crangle, Al Mohr, and
Milt Olander are the four year men,
while Dick Reichle, Dutch Kaiser,
johnny Sabo. Shorty Tabor and
Eslinger played less than the extra

With Don Pedan as captain, half
back and administrator OF the triple
threat next year, Coach Zuppke will
have the fleetest backfieId he has
had since the days OF Hal Pague
and Potsy Clark. The remaining
backs are George Dawson, Joe

HATTY GETTING WORSE,
RRp0KT.

According to the latest re-
port, Christy Mathewson has
had another relapse and his
condition is very serious.
During the summer Mathew
son appeared to be on the way
to a permanent recovery.
After a long struggle cover
ing a period of nearly two years,
he had gained strength to such
an extent that he was permitted
TO take a daily ride in his auto.
Recently the fans OF New
York rendered a testimonial
benefit to Mathewson which
produced a fund. OF over $780,
600.
At that time Mathewson sent
word that he hoped to be back
homo within year.
Word comes from Saranac
Lake that the relapse, attended
by high fever. came recently.

FXTON STRESSES NEED OF ECONOMY
WAS GOOD YEAR FOR
C0MEBACkS

Comebacks played a promin-
emit part in the major leagues
last year.
The most sensational, of
course, was Red Faber of the
Chicago White Sox. He was
the most effective pitcher in the
American league.
The work of Babe Adams with
the Pirates was just about as
brilliant This veteran of many
campaigns was Il big factor in
the showing of the Pirates.
Joe Bush. who was believed to
be about all in, was a wonder
with Boston. At times he had as
much speed as he ever had. In
cide1tally he pitched with rare
intelligence.
Two stars who didn't go very
big last year were Grover Cleye-
land Alexander and Walter
Johnson. Some say Alexander
has passed the peak of his great
ness. 1t will be interesting to
see what these two pitchers do
next year.

with the results that have been
shown so far.
