Zev Will Never
Be Man O War
Say Turf Experts
,.. BY PAUL r. MALLON

NEW YORK, June 27.-Zev is an
ordinary brown colt, with excellent
ly developed breathing powers and
a desire to run as far as he can, as
fast us he can.
The star of the three -year-olds
this year measures 1873 hands, an
ordinary size. A layman couldn It
tell the difference between him and
dozen others of the same thor
ough-bred build.
Followers of the track, who have
watched him closely, say he will
never excel Man o. War, because
he hasn t the extraordinary physical
bone and Drawn. His game is to
run the field to death in the first
mile and then walk home, leaving
those winded by his fast pace
strewn along the track behind him.
His stamina is his outstanding
trait. Earl Sande, his jockey, has a
hard time holding him in restraint.
Zev always wants to leap out to his
full speed. He acts like pent t-up
bolt of lightning and they have to
put blinkcrs OH him to hold him.
He is tempcrAmental only in a
sense of eagerness and spirit. He
has none of the idiosyncrasies which
have branded former starts of the
turf.

Clever Work in
Local Quarters

Over 100 interested fight fans
flocked in to Kid Williams training
quarters on Broadway last night, to
see the husky Ell Centran go through
his PAGES in preparation for his
bout with Rex Morris at Mexicali

watching the big fellow go through
12 strenuous sounds of boxing. The
{ Kid was%as fresh at the finish of
,s@his performance as when he started
and right now is IN good shape to
hop into the ring. Under the care
full direction of Harry Woodbury.,
Williams has advanced a great deal
along the pugilistic pathway, and is
a far different fighter from the awk-
$ ward fellow who was doing battle in
the ring two years ago.
Williams goes through Il course
of stunts every night between 5 and
8 O'Clock and those who are inter
ested i'll seeing him do his stuff are
welcome to drop in and look him

CANADA's LIQUOR BUSINESS

The delegation from washington seeking the CO.
operation of Canada to stop liquor smuggling into this
country has met so far with courtesy but not much
practical encouragement. The Canadian government
appears to take the position that it is its brothers
keeper, that the liquor problem is Uncle Sans, and
the dominion cannot be expected go out of its way
help.
1t is lawful for@Canadians to export liquor
when they cannot sell it at home, and their govern
ment has considerable revenue from the export
duties. 1t is said to make about 100000 of every
10000 cases of whisky snugged into the United States.
Canada, according to dispatches from Ottawa,
might agree to forbid the shipment of liquor from
Great Lakes ports and refuse clearance papers
going vessels with liquor cargoes for the American
12-mile line, provided government had something
to trade for those concessions There is little to offer
in return.
AS straight matter Of business the position of
the dominion government is quite comprehensive.
But surely this is not altogether business deal The
United States has not been used finding Carfada in
different to considerations of morality and friend

Our little ship, built down on the Maine coast of

three snow houses it presents in the half light of mid
day, a curious sight with its wireless antennae
stretched to the bill ahead its electric wires leading
across the ice to the magnetic observatory where tiny
lights are kept constantly burning faithfully record
ing the fuctuation of those two great forces that we
know SO little about-terrestral magnetism and aos-
pheric electricity Stretched in another direction there
is another set of wires eadng to our aneoeter reg
sterng electrically the force of prevailing northeast
winds.
From the very bow of the ship, flat on the harbor

leading to a tidal crack
Here are instruments making for more accurate
measurements and discoveries than could be made in
earlier days With few wires and little more knowl-
edge than former explorers had the forces of nature
are Investigated and used almost as man wishes In
time men may harness the Aurora Borealis and make
