THE s. s. r. F. STOCKTON, BUILT

STEAM AND SAIL.
but each was fitted with sails as we'll
as paddle wheels. There was much
talk as to whether 1t was possible for
vessel to go all the way by steam
power. At last one learned man said
that it never would be possible for a
vessel to carry enough coal to make
a nonstop trip across the Atlantic
without the help of sails.
Happily there were other men who
believed in the future of the ocean
steamer. One of these was a Cana
dian-Samuel Cunard of Halifax,
Nova Scotia. In 1889 he formed the
British and North American Royal
Mail Steam Packet Co., and obtained
contract TO carry letters and pack
ages from Liverpool to Halifax and
driven vessel was to be made each
two weeks.
Four paddle-wheel steamers were
built for Cunard, each 200 feet long.
They were fitted with three masts
apiece, but the main power was to
come from the engines which drove
28-foot paddle wheels. Cunard met
with success. His vessels carried pas
sengers Zone Of them Charles Dickens)
as well as mail; and one of his later
ships the Scotia, crossed from New
York to Liverpool in days and "a
hours.
The Scotia was the last steam pad
dler built for the Cunard mail service.
She made the record run In 1852.
three years before Cunard died. The
Cunard Steamship Co. has lived to
the present time. Recently it joined
forces with the White Star Line, thus
forming the greatest steamship COM
pany Of modern times.
In 1889 two steamers fitted with
screw propellerS appeared upon the
sea. One was called the r. F. Stock
ton and the other was the Archi-
medes. Slowly but surely through the
years vessels Of this type took the
place Of steam-paddlers, leading to
the mighty ocean liners which we
shall take up In our next story.

 The Shadows have not yet lost a game in the second round of play while the Hillies were upset two weeks ago by the last place Cow boys and must win tomorrow nights game to tie the Shadows for the lead. A win for the Shadows will mean playoff between the first and second round winners and that would bring together the Hil- lies and Shadows again and mark the fourth game between these two rivals. As 1t stands now the teams have split. the Shadows emerging victorious in the first battle and the Doughboys winning the second. All members of the Hil- lies are requested to be on hand for tonights workout which will get underway at 9:30.

TODANS SPORJAPAEADE. kAM&a!
'N~NsNNNNNNNaNeNe..' '-.ae-NN
By HENRY McLEMORE United Press Staff COrrespOndent)


 New York, March 14.-UP)- In talking with MT Berkeley Bell after hsi defeat in the national in- door championship yesterday, l chanced upon, what might prove an ideal profession for slightly worn tennis players.
 By slightly worn players mean those gentlemen who, after years of campaigning in the major white flannel pants leagues, find that while they still are efficient per formers, they are step or two be- hind the best.
 This, as everyone knows, is a very trying period in tennis players life. He has but two choices. On is to try and kid him. self and go along taking lickings. The other is to quit the courts and go to work. Both are abhorrent to your average tennis player.
 In talking to MT Bell I learned that every year dozens of tennis clubs find themselves in need of the services of a player capable of stepping in and preventing some fellow from winning a third leg on Q handsome trophy, and thus mak- ing it his own.
 MT Bell told me of a New Jersey tennis club which was in just such spot last summer. When the tournament rolled around the off, cials. much to their horror, discoy- cred that several members held two legs on the $1,500 bowl, and that the rascals were entered and stood an excellent chance of win ming.
 This would have been just the spot for a slightly worn performer, but none being handy the officials had to go out and persuade Gre gory Mangin. big ten ranking play CT, to enter and save the cup.
 This year they'll have to enroll somebody who can lick Mangin, for his victory last summer gave him two legs on the silverware.
 Of course. the clubs can refuse to accept the entries of players within one win of taking cups home for keeps. This is sometimes done, too. In 1926, and 1927, MT Bell stopped off in Fort Wayne and won the Indiana state champion ship. In 1929, having no pressing engagements, he mailed in his en- try. To his amazement the officials, who before had always welcomed him with open arms, rejected his bid.
 'I gave up after my sixth entry black had been slapped back in my face" MT Bell told me. q sorta figured they didn't want me to take another crack at their $500 piece of crockery.'
 MT Bells latest disappointment came here in New York. In 1881, and again in 1892, he won the Long Island championship. Last year when he arrived for the first days play, all keyed up to retire the cup, he found that Frank Shields, for some unaccountable reason, had decided to make his debut in the tournament.
 With many clubs anxious to pre- serve their investments in trophies it looks like a fine field for a slight ly worn tennis player. If were one I'd go in the business, using as a motto something like this: Let me save your mug from the muggs!" Fees could be arranged according to the value of the mug saved.
