'Outboords Set II New Records
In 1910, Only Woods Class C.
Mark Resisting Attack

American drivers of outboard
hydroplanes performed during the
1910 season with a consistent bril-
lance unequaled in the annals of
the sport. James w. Mulroy, eXecu-
tive secretary of the National Out
board Association, reveals. Record
breaking started on Florida waters
during February and did not cease
until the closing days of October,
when in a single regatta no less
than eight standards set during the
season were further lacked up as a
parting gesture.
The end of the years campaign
found II new speed marks on the
books out of possible 18 in official
hydroplane competition and mile
trial tests. The only record sur
viving was Gar Wood, jr's mile
class c amateur standard of 60560
m.p.h., made in 1899.
The keenneSs of the competition
may be judged by the fact that on
October l, 1910, Wood had to his
credit three new records made dur
ing the season. in addition to his
1899 mile mark. These speeds in
A, B and C competition were all
wiped out, however, by Fred Mulkey,

If the New Haven Eagles and

their own battle for the Eastern
Division lead in the American
Hockey League, fail to heed the
threat of the Providence Reds, they
can't say they didn't have warning.
The Reds, who swept through the
play-offs to the championship last
spring, turned in a performance
against the Philadelphia Eagles last
night that should inform any one
that they mean business now. They
scored seven goals in the second
period-four of them in a stretch of
4 minutes-to win to 2.
