Practically all of the original

of the sailing kind and despised
the smell of gasoline on the
water.
Took to MOt0rbOat
Many years ago, Judge Aukum
was one of the first to forsake
the sailing craft for the motor
boat. He equipped his boat with
one of the finest engines in the
marine engine industry. The en-
CINE, of the same make, which is
marketed at the present time is
but little different from the
earlier models.
Judge Aukum's engine was his
pride and joy. 1t had no starter,
but began kicking at the first turn
of the flywheel. Recently Judge
Aukum removed the old engine
and installed one of the newer
high-speed jobs with electric start
err and all the modern gadgets. HIS
old friends think he is slipping"
and cannot stand the gaff OF turn

small and stuffy compartment.
Moreover he has brought his boat

Dun & Bradstreet, Inc, states in
its weekend survey.
Beginning of the rehabilitation
Of the CWA also contributed to

Volume Still High
Despite the slowing down in
country districts, volume Of bust
ness was still reported running is
to 80 per cent above a year ago,
when the banking crisis crippled
trade.
An unexpectedly heavy demand
for winter goods during the week
as the result Of the storm found
both wholesalers and retailers
short of merchandise, which
brought a considerable loss OF
business, the review stated.
The prospect Of freer bank
credit, either through the regular
banking channels or direct loans
through the agency of the RFC,
was expected to prove a new
stimulus soon. The heavier in
dustries, it was predicted, would
be particularly aided by this de-

right out of a palm tree. One OF
those palm trees might be just the
place for me, at that. I'd gather
more cocoanuts there than I did
at the Hialeah horse track the last
couple of days.
In my time around the tin ears
we have had battles Of the cen
tury, battles of a decade, battles
of the year. I think we shall have
to name this one the battle of the
first of next week.
But socially the training Sieges
of the gladiators have been a
distinct success" SO much sc
that at the Camera workout, ]
attended at the sWank Deauville
Club, overheard a woman say
to her husband:
"Who is this big man going
to fight?"
81 don't know" he replied,
But 1 think some lady from
Palm Beach"
The other day somebody got
the idea of having Camera pose
with Ross Young's Chicago
Worlds Fair python, Big Chief
Eat Ostrich Eggs, which is said
to be the largest snake in cap
tivity. There are, of course, big
ger snakes and worse crawling
about the face of the earth free
such as kidnapers and reptiles OF
that ilk.
Naturally the photograph made
elegant publicity both for the
champion and the snake show.
But the tough part was that
when they went back to their
respective show grounds, the
snake outdrew Da Preem.
Would Become American
Camera says now that he is
going to renounce his Italian
citizenship and become a natu-
ralized American. Which is all
right for Primo to say, What we
want to know is, what does Mus
solini say?
Jimmy Johnston told Arthur
Brisbane that if he managed
Camera he would dress him up
in a top hat and make him look
seven feet tall.
"Sure," scoffed Gene Tunney,
who used to be heavyweight
champion himself, johnson
would get him all dressed up
and then have no place to co."

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Feb. "a
An amazing country this United
States. You can turn around on
a dime and fall out of a blizzard
that stalls railroad trains into
some mighty fancy swimming
Still, we have our troubles down
here in Florida, too. We have to
be careful about getting sun
burned.
Rolling down from storm-swept
New York in 20-odd hours, you
wonder why everybody doesn't
come to Florida. Then you arrive
and try to find a room in which
to park the weary body and de-
eide that everybody has. There
are more thousands in this Sec
ton right now than at any time
since the boom, but not so many
thousand dollar bills. Looking
back on it, that plush period OF
paper prosperity was just as
ridiculous as it is to have hungry
men walking the streets in a
country such as this.
There still is a lot Of money
here; money that is being spent
laviShly as always. You can't
live down here in the season with
out some money. But they
haven't yet discovered a way OF
lacking a cover charge on the
air and sunshine. Why don't you
come down and see us sometime,
Miss West and Mr.. North?
Known as "Tugboat Annie
Bernard Gimbel, the merchant
sportsman, has been doing quite a
bit of navigating hereaboutS this
year. Mr.. G., trims such a tidy
sail and battens down such a ship
shape hatch in heavy weather
that he is affectionately known to
John Oliver LaGorce, Dan Ma
honey, Albert Lasker and other
veteran shippers of Biscayne Bay
and adjoining waters as "Tugboat
Annie"
Gimbel also is inclined to think
that Heavyweight Champion Primo
Camera has been manipulated
into a bad match for himself
against Tommy Loughran.
He holds:
All Camera can win is a
round Of applause. If he knocks
Loughran out nobody will care.
And if he doesn't knock him out,
nobody will care, either, but
Camera will lock prettJ silly"
There is every indication around
::.ere now that this will be record
breaking heavyweight champion
ship contest. That is, that it will
establish a new low in attendance
and receipts. Not since the mod
ern heavyweight crown rode rak-
ishly on the brow of John Law
renee Sullivan has there been
such apathy toward an impending
match for the championship.

care you ready"
care we ready! Say, If we
only had been given the word,
we'd have left weeks agO!"
Just a few thoughts from two
distinct adjuncts of the Washing
ton Baseball Club, on the eve of
their departure for Biloxi, Miss,
the 1884 training base for PREF
Clark Griffith's employees.
Yes, it's Trainer Mike Martin
and his assistant, frankie Baxter,
we mean. The old-timer and
the sophomore, or should we say,
Junior, this time, frankie?
Leave Tomorrow
Their actual departure Is Sched-
uled tomorrow. They will leave
these wintry parts not by the
usual, comfortable train route, but
by automobile with Baxter as
chauffeur-in chief.
Their arrival at Biloxi, about
Tuesday or Wednesday, will mark
the beginning of the 1884 training
season for the Griffmen, in that
they'll begin their annual job of
getting the Biloxi plant in opera
ton for the parade of Griff SOL
diers," who'll be making scheduled
appearances from time to time be-
ginning next Saturday and lasting
way into March.
It's a familiar story by now
just what MeSSrs. Martin and
Baxter must shoulder every train
ing season. Be that as it may,
it's truly important work as af-
ter all it is their efforts which
make the training camp sojourn
of the performers an event of
comfort and care.
Just a Few
If you don't think so just lis
ten to a few of the chores which
come under their jurisdiction.
First, they must get the locker
rooms of the two Clubhouses in
complete readiness for the army
of players soon to arrive.
Next they must see that every
performer is fitted in the right
uniform after his arrival, has
enough equipment, needs for
equipment, while most important
of all, they must be ever ready
at moments notice to give the
ailing performer a rundown
should he contract an injury or
muscular pain during his first
few days in practice.
Mike and frankie have been
doing this sort of work for many
years now and although it be-
comes a hardship ofttimes, they
always are ready for more. once
each new season makes its ap-
pearance and the time for de-
parture arrives.
Proving that baseball Is fasci-
mating to the persons closely
connected with it, as well as to
those on the outside commonly
known as Mr.. and Mrs. Gus
H. Fan.
At any rate, Mike and frankie
will be on their way tomorrow,
eager and ready for the new
campaign to start-which cam
paign will really begin in earnest
when the first guard of Griff
pitchers and catchers are due to
depart either from this city or
from their homes a week from
today for Biloxi, Miss, good old
Biloxi, the place where shrimps
and sunshine rule the roost.
