ITALIAN M AXES NEW KIND OF
 A|RSH|P
Suction Pumps Devised To Give Craft Stability And Air Pressure Is Overcome.

London, Feb. 17-An airship which, it is declared, will revolution lze not only war in the air. but air transport generally is to be con structed and tested in Italy,
 The ship is the invention of Sienor Vaugean, who, instead of using a gas- filled container to make his airship rise, creates by means of suction pumps vacuum inside the envelope which consequently becomess lighter than air.
 For hundreds of years experiment CTS and scientists have been working on these lines, but always when sue cess has seemed near at hand their models have collapsed owing to the enormous pressure of the atmosphere, amounting, with a perfect vacuum, to as much as 15 pounds to the square inch, on the outside of the ship.
 Signor Vaugean. however, claims to have overcome this difficulty by building his airship. one hull inside side of the airship and the first in terlor hull is partly emptied of air still more air is exhausted from the next space, while in the centre com partment of the ship the vacuum is made as perfect as possible.
 Pressure Is Distributed
 By this means the pressure of the outside atmosphere is distributed over three surfaces ana IS reduced to less than five pounds per square inch on any portion of the ship.
 T'e airship now to be built is to be equipped with four engines. each of 800 horsepower, of a type invented by Professor Garuffla- These engines, instead of burning gasolene, use heavy oil. thus, with the absence of hydro gen in the ship itself, eliminating to certain extent the risk of fire
 The engines serve the dual purpose ot driving the airShip through the air and working the pumps which create the vacuum inside the ship, so that the vacuum can be increased or di- unfinished at will in order to make the ship rise or fall.
 It is claimed that owing to the pc culiar construction of the hull and to it's ability to rise to great heights where the air is more rarefied and therefore offers less resistance, speeds as great as 215 miles an hour should be possible and that the jour ney from London to New York could be accomplished in IS hours.

BEARCATS TOO FAST
FOR GOLDEY TIGERS

Goldey's Bearcats proved too much
for the Goldey Tigers in rather
close but loosely fielded game OF
baseball at Baynard Field yesterday.
The contest was the climax to the
argument about baseball proves In
Goldey College. both teams being
composed OF students from that in
stitution.
The pitchers were wild and the
Tigers started off just like world
beaters. But in the fourth and
fifth innings the Bearcats got
to Walters curves and then It was
all over. They collected enough hits
to win.
Young today said that the Bear
cats won because he had used judg-
ment in selecting a team. Waller,
who heads up the Tigers. scouts such
talk. He says that a one-game SER
ies means nothing and that the cold
weather OF the past few days had
put his players on the blink. An
other game he says. would tell a
different story. Score by innings:
