NEW YORK, Jan. 18.-There are
two considerably amazing angles to
the 30th annual motorboat show
which opens at Grand Central Pal
ace today. One is the almost uni
versal trend toward streamlining,
and the other is the fact that mo-
torboat prices have moved SO far
down the scale.
In connection with the latter 1
rush to point out that the prices
haven't dipped to a point where
motorboats will be given in lieu of
cigars or paperweights as customers
Christmas gifts, but the tags now
bear figures which don't seem like
telephone numbers.
Specifically there is Snappy
Chris-craft which measures Is feet,
has living space for four adults, a
galley, locker space, toilet and ice
box, and which may be owned by
laying 81 500 on the line somewhere
in Michigan. That just gives an idea
for it wasn't SO long ago that any
such boats would command double
that money.

ARABS TO MEET HOUSE OF DAVID 8
FIVE ON RETURN FROM PHOENIX

Armed TO the hilt with every trick
in the basketball bag that they have
learned since the beginning of the
season, Central junior college Arabs,
accompanied by Coach r. r. Taylor,
left this morning to engage in a
tWo-day joust with the Phoenix
Jaycee Bears in that city. A squad
of eight men was taken.
Next Tuesday, the Arabs meet the
House of David in a game at the To-
cal gymnasium. These bearded pro-
fessional players, athletic represen-
tatives of the famed organization in
Michigan, form a colorful profess
sional outfit which barnstorms its
way throughout the country, taking
on all comers. To date, in a cross
country tour, this team has been
defeated only four times, in meets
with all major college and univer-
sity quintets as well as several COM
mercial outfits in various cities.
The invaders are crack players
Imperial Valley press., 1935-01-18

OF course the designers and build
ers haven't overlooked those we'll
heeled ones who must have boats
and who would feel chincy to give
up any such sum as $l,5O0. There
are models shown by Gar Wood,
Dodge, A. F. c., Mathews and Rich
ardson, and Whitney priced pro-
portionately according to size and
the number of doo-dads they con-
tain, and some 48-foot numbers are
tagged at around $4,000 by Elco
and by Wheeler.
The streamline trend, however, is
what catches the eye. The idea, of
course, is for greater speed and the
more shapely lines from stem to
stern do accomplish this.
Over in the corner of the first
floor Ghe show occupies three floors
of the palace you find one of the
show officials, Russ Gudgeon, o
baldish young gent who used to be
a newspaper man. You ask him how
it comes that the boats are faster
and faster each year.
Racing does it," Gudgeon says,
Every time these fellows such as
Gar Wood, Hubert Scott-Paine,
Kaye Don, George Refs and Bill
Horn put on race they contribute
just little bit to the speed and re-
finement of INCORPORATING.
Figures prove it. This is the 30th
annual motorboat show. When the
first one was held the patrons gazed
at snappy models which were cap
able of skimming over the water at
such amazing speeds as 23la miles
an hour. Man named Ricotte, driv-
ing a Standard, had just set an Of
ficial world mark of 1876. Now the
record is 124,86 miles--set by Gar
Wood in one of his numbers. More
than 100 miles faster in 80 years."

OFFER RUTH
CIRCUS JOB
BY LAWTON CARVER

OHuteu fTeSS StdlI tOTIcSIpDlutht
NEW YORK, Jan. 18.-Babe Ruth
will be riding an elephant in a cir
Gus instead of pinch-hitting for the
Yankees this summer if he accepts
n proposition he has under conSid-
Grafton today.
The Babe has a $4,000 bid for his
services as a circus performer.
Whether he accepts depends
largely upon what occurs during the
next few weeks, prior to his arrival
from Paris where he is stopping en-
route home from a baseball tour of
the Orient.
If offered a managerial position in
baseball, Ruth probably will remain
in the game. But he has announced
he won't play another season, and
$75 1000 for a summer of any kind OF
work would look good even to the
affluent Babe.
The circus offer was made before
Ruth sailed from New York by Jo-
seph Tamburri of Stanford, Conn,
representing Col. zack Miller, who
is reorganizing the 101 Ranch show.
The Babe didn't make a definite
reply and during his absence nego-
tiations have been carried on be-
tween Tamburri and Christy Walsh,
the Babes business manager.
Tamburri has offered the $4,000
or a privilege of 80 per cent of the
gross. Walsh is holding out in the
Babes behalf for SIS per cent and
there they are deadlicked until the
home run king returns.
Besides parading on the elephant,
the Babe would appear in a special
act which would include fungo-hit-
ting and talks to youngsters.
He would supplant the famous
cowboy performers who have toured
with the show, Tom Mix included,
and his act would be the headliner
on the program made up otherwise
of western attractions.

OUT.
FOR VICTORY
At bRAWLEY.

According to advices from Braw-
ley, Centrals basketball teams
should win with ease over the
northend aggregations in the league
games to be played there tonight,
for two of the Wildcat star play
erS have been reported out because
of sickness.
Lee Lewis, forward on the Wild
cat varsity and one of the men
whom the local boys consider
heavy threat, and Les Slaughter,
guard on the c quintet, have slight
attacks of influenza, and may not
be able to play, it is said.
The Spartan varsity, under Coach
w. S. Taylor, and the G squad, with
Don Ketchen as mentor, will leave
this evening for the two battles
which will start at 7:30 o'clock, the
lightweight game being first on the
list.
The Spartans have been hitting
on all five since the beginning of>1e
season, having captured the tourna-
ment and both of their league
games, defeating Calipatria and
then Calexico. Brawley put up a
good fight in the tournament and
since then has won from Imperial
and lost to Calipatria.
The two c teams are even up as
far as victories go, and tonight's
game is a crucial battle. A win to-
night for the Spartan varsity would
cinch the championship while a de-
feat would leave the way open for a
three-way tie.
Taylor is taking along a trusty
crew of IL men with Young and
Scroggins, forwards; Lawless, GEN.
ter; Lambeth and Glenn Smith,
guards, on the starting lineup and
Wagner, Carol Smith, Lee, Hui,
Trudell, Burke, and Sugimoto as
reserve players.
