SAN Fit A NCI SCO. Jsn. ".-In accordance
with th wished of th automobile racing
pnmvri, th Panama-Pacific, formerly
known a th Portola road rac. ha bwn
postponed until February 22. The course,
however, ha not been changed, and ha
motor cin will whirl over the Pan Fraii
rlsco raceway, as planned aeveral month
tiro.
An firno' rt rmi ni to the effect that the
promoter were asked to postpone the race
ow ing to lack of funds wa made. Doubtless
this Is true; but there Is another reason.
It Is known that several prominent drivers
did not care to be away from their home
Ourlnfc the holidays. This would have liem .
thulr lot bad tne original date of January
S been held to. An a result the entries
ciid not Come '.n as fast as expected. One
of the leading n.eii In automobile racln
had the followliitf to say retarding the
postponement:
f told the promoters Uiat they had
better chanye thv dale of thrlr race a
they would have trouble getting entries
for a race on Januery i. and that it wouid
be letter to Mj-kc the contest on Wash
ington's birthday. January was a bad
n.onth for' the race. The automobile pub
lic Is Intert-bted In shows at that time
and thv contest would not have been
given the rttertJon it really merits. For
the Panama-Paclflo race promises to be
the most important held on the coast.
V hen ywu consider that Hruce-brown's
time at Savannah bettered by Tei-
tcleff at Santa Monica, the weight of my
assertion is evident. The end of February
will be a busy time In the buying season,
and the showing cars make at this race
is expected to Influence purchasers to a
certain extent.
Tweaty-Foar-Haar Race.'
Then there is the twenty-four-hour
race at the lxs Angeles Motordrome In the
middle of January. With the Panama-Paclflo
event on January 2 It would bo
cramming too much automobile racing Into
the state of California. With the former
contest down for the end of February It
will feed the native sons about the proper
amount of motor car speeding.
"The Importance of road racing in Cal
ifornia canno be overestimated. The state
Is fairly wild about It. New mortordromes
are being built and planned. Eastern
Rents advertise the work of their car
In far coast competition, and there is talk
of the American Automobile association
reorganizing a special racing board for
the far coast. Surely the state la a racing
center. Undoubtedly the ranama-Panlflc
event will a'sume proportions that will
give it the name of the California Van
derbllt." It is raid that all the well-known firms
favoring the speed game will enter cars
at San Francisco. The postponed date
will give plenty of time to prepare for the
contest. It is announced that the condi
tions will not be changed. As In the origi
nal entry blanks, the following events will

Buyers are paying more attention than
ever to those features which add to com

The 1911 models of all the well knows
makes reflect this tendency.
woman a Influence has, of course, a great
deal to do with this change. It is doubt
ful If the average woman ever cared for
s much speed in a motor car as a man.
But while wonman's Influence has un
doubtedly done much to subdue tha speed
mania,' it would be wrong to give her all
the credit,
Before the advent of the motor car man
waa forced to travel the road at ft speed
not to exceed fifteen miles an hour. The
motor car offered a way to obtain sixty.

a while, then found that he didn't want
It didn't need it.
For nonportable traveling thirty miles

that it can make seventy to eighty miles
an hour on a track, but that It can make
twenty or thirty miles an hour on a road,
and ba ready to repeat the performance

Aa an Illustration of this one need only

Of course, the Increased mileage capac

tt Is not unusual to hear of electric vehicle
owners driving seventy to a hundred miles

Racing Rules May
Extend Time Limit
on Driver's Trips
Automobilints Will Favor Allowing:
Man to Remain at the Wheel
Five Hours.
NEW YORK. Jan. 7 The approach of
the new automobile racing season brings
conjectures on the new rules to govern
meets throughout the country. It Is known
that the Manufacturers' Contest associa
tion has suggested many code revision to
the American Automobile association.
These changes will not be announced defi
nitely for some time. However, It Is
known that they, are widespread and ad
visable. One of the most Important clauses which J
Is likely to be adopted Is that which gov
erns the length of time one driver shall i
remain at the wheel In track and speedway j
contests. The rule heretofore nas neen
made with a three-hour limit, but accord
ing to advices from Chairman 8. M. But- J
ler of the rontcst board drivers will be
allowed to remain In a race for five hours
continuously after January 1. 1911. An
other clause will be added to this rule, ac
cording to the advices of the officer, which
will allow the referee of any race to per
mit a driver to hold the wheel longer than
five hours if he appears to be physically
fit.
Physical conditions will be taken aa a
basis for tha action by the referee In
every event which Is run under this new
optional rule. If the driver Is found to be
physically -unfit at the start he probably
will be told that he will be forced to
change at .the end of five hours, and
should a driver who started physically fit
show signs of fatigue which. In the mind
of the referee, would make the race dan
gerous for the driver and the other con
testanta, lie would be forced to relinquish
his seat to a teammate at the end of five
hours.
On the other hand, the drivers have the
right to ask a change at the end of five
hours. This will be done but little, It Is
believed. The motorcar makers also wish
to see their cars taken through by one
man tf possible..
One of the chief 1911 events which this
new rule will benefit Is the 600-mile (Vter-
natlonal sweepstakes race over the In
d!anapolls motor speedway on Memorial
day. May 30. The speedway management
found that the majority of manufacturers
and drivers were anxious to have one man
take one car through the long contest, and
took up the condition with the contest
board. . The result was that Chairman But
ler gave the advance statement of the new
rule for 1911.
The prizes for the international sweep
stakes race will total about $10,000 after the
various accessory makers have made their
side offers. This means that the winner
probably will be the richer by about Ilf-
000 or $15,000 the greatest prtxe ever offered
In motor competition. Nine other cash
prises, which are worth from $r00 or $700 to
$6,000 or $7,000, are offered for those who
puhh tha winner to the checkered flag.
The race will be started at 10 o'clock In
the morning and will take about seven
hours In the running, so that' the finish
will be made about 6 o'clock In the after
noon. Already many have asked about the
reservations for seats In the stands to see
this supreme test of men and metal, and
the crowd which this Indicates will prob
ably be the largest ever In attendance at
automobile races of any type.
Death Not Hurried
by College Sports.
Says Yale Journal
Offers Statistics from 1855 to 1904 to
Show that Charge "Athletes Die
Younj" is False.
NEW HAVEN, Conn.. Jan. 7. A refuta
tion of the frequent charges that athletes
die young has been published, with statis
tic In th Yale Dally New. The Record
of 761 athletes who won their "T" In one
or more of the major sports between th
year 1863 and 1904 have been compiled
The Btatlstlca read In part aa follows:
"Ot these 761 athletes, 51 have died since
graduation. The cause were: consump
tion, 12; pneumonia, 1; drowning. 8; heart
disease, 2; war and accident, S; died from
unknown causes or disappeared, 10: from
various diseases, such aa fevers, cancer,
paresis, dissipation, etc, 12.
"Out of these fifty-one men, eighteen
rowed , on th crew, sixteen played foot
ball, eleven were track athletea and si x
played base ball. The ages of those who
have died show these extremes and av
erages: ' Extremes

years. ,
"Turning to the 710 living athletes,, those
who have passed 40 may be grouped thus:
"One hundred and thirteen men are be
tween 40 and 18 years; 86 men are between
(0 and 19 years; 23 men are between 60 and
69 years.' (
"It Is a widespread opinion that athletes
are liable to heart trouble, but only two
Yale men of these athletes considered have
died from this cause. It would seem mor
significant that of the fifty-one death,
sixteen were due to lung affections, the
sports engaged In being foot ball 6. rowing
4, base bail 2 and tiack athletics 4."
A lire insurance expert Is quoted with
the opinion that college atlkietes, barring
track men, show a better average expec
tation of long life than their non-athletic
classmates.
The Yale News quotes a well known ath
letic authority as follows:
'Dr. Meylan ha studied the individual
history of every oarsman graduated from
Harvard in the period of forty-one years,
between oi and 18ai The results show
that, compared with other men aa to long,

FATE OF OTHER- EXPERIMENTERS

Records.
The first blrdman of whom there Is any
definite record was Flmon Magus, who,
according to Antonlus Byerllnk. flew high
In the air over Rome during the reign of
Nero from M to 6 A. D. The account of
the adventure Is very brief, but not more
so than was this pioneer's career as an
viator, for It Is recorded that his evil
genius became displeased with him when he
was aloft and suffered him to fall and
dash out his life.
The fate of this first martyr of the air
seems to have discouraged experimenters
for manj centuries," for we must turn over
a thousand years of history before put
ting our finger on the next blrdman to be
definitely mentioned. This waa Elmerus.
a thirteenth century monk. Taking the
flying squirrel for his model he gave suc
cessful exhibitions from a tower, soaring
sometimes above a furlong through space.
And In the same century the learned
philosopher, Roger Bacon, averred: "There
a certainly a flying Instrument, not that
I ever knew a man that had It. but I am
particularly acquainted with the Ingenious
person who contrived It.".
The first blrdman to fly a consldersble
distance appears to have been John Bab-
tiste Dante, a fifteenth century mathema
tician, who lived' in Perugia. He framed
a pair of Ingenious wings with which. It
Is narrated, he amused his fellow Peru
Ktans. One of the most successful flights was
over Lake Traslmene, that body of water
with no outlet, on whose northern shore
Hannibal annihilated the Romans. But the
aerial career of Dante ot Perugia was cut
short one day when "he fell on the top
of St. Mary's church and broke his thigh."
- ' Imitating the Bird.
That the great Leonardo da Vinci (1463-
1519) was a blrdman as well as a painter,
sculptor, musician, architect, engineer and
mechanician, I stated by some authori
ties. 'While making - the careful observa
tions on which he based his "Treatise on
the Flight of Birds" he so thoroughly
fathomed the secrets of flying as to be
able to build a pair of mechanical wings
with which, according to Cuperus" "Excel
lence of Man," he practiced flying suc
cessfully.
Soon afterward came an "artificial
eagle," which Johann Muller, bishop of
Ratlsbon and a noted German - mathe
matician and astronomer, built at Nurem
berg during the generation Just preceding
Columbus' discovery of America. This
aerodome is reputed to have flown out to
meet the Emperor Charles V and to have
accompanied him back to town.
In 1510 an aviation exhibition was ar
ranged for the amusement of James IV
of Scotland and his court, the Tongland.
After the court had all . assembled the
prior mounted one of the lofty battle
ments of Sterling Castle and donned an
elaborate arrangement of wings and feath
ers. Then . he leaped forth and felt In
glorlously onto the dunghill.
The performance of Turkish aviator
was witnessed at Constantinople In the
latter part of the sixteenth century by
the Flemish scholar and diplomatist, Bus
bec (1521-82), who at the time . was the
ambassador of Ferdinand I at that capital.
"The seventeenth century was prolific
of flying machines," a writer assures us,
and one of Its enthusiasts on the subject
ot . man flight was John Wllklns, lord
bishop of Chester and first president of the
British Royal society, who believed that
a race of blrdmen could ba created by sys
tematic training. . .
"He that would effect anything In this
way," . said this authority, , "must be
brought up to tha constant practice of It
from his youth, trying first only to use
his 1 wings In running on th ground, as
an ostrich or tarn goose will do, touching
the earth with hi toes and so on by de
grees learn to rise higher until he shall
attain unto skill and confidence.
"I have heard It from creditable testi
mony," he adds, "that one of our nation
hath succeeded so far In this experiment
that he was able by the help of wings
In such a pace to step constantly (off the
ground) ten yard at ft tim.
And thus we have two and a half cen
turies ago a soaring machine such as used
In recent years by Lillenthai. Herring and
others.
Janiplaar Off Charrh Steeple.
A daring flight from the1 steeple of St
Mark's cathedral, Venice, Is mentioned
by the lord bishop, but history does not
perpetuate the name of the aviator who
performed the feat. The same authority
mentions another unnamed man who made
a flight at Nuremberg, the same city from
which Bishop Muller's artificial eagle went
out to meet th. emperor.
One of the most noted blrdmen of this
time was Atlard, a tightrope performer
who appeared In Francs' about 1660. Wear
ing wings he made a number of flights
from various heights. But while perform
ing before Louis XIV be got a bad fall,
and seems to have, thereupon, quit the fly
ing business.
Th most successful blrdman of these
times appears to have been one Ueanlcr,
a locksmith, who succeeded in flying ai
Sable, France, a few years after Allard's
serial career had ended so painfully In the
presence of the great Louts.
According to the Journal des Savants of
September 12, 1678, Besnler flew with wings
consisting of four rectangular surfaces,
one at the end of each two rods passing
over his shoulders. With these he would
raise himself from one height to another
until he reached the top ot a house, from
the roof of which he would pass over th
neighboring houses. Finally, working hlm-
aelf up to a great height, he would make
a downward awoop and cross a river of
considerable breadth.
Successful flights were made at the same
time by one Baldwin of Gulbre. who built
Bean ler' s first pair of wings. He and his
disciple were blrdmen,' Indeed. " They flew
only by their God-given means of locomo
tion. .
The monoplane is first met with In a
picture from Faustu Verontius, 1U06,
showing flying marl supported by a
rectangular. fabric stretched upon a frame
from whose four corners depend ropes
parsing under hi arms.

It was early in the last forties that Eng

were to be waved by a steam engine of
extreme lightness. An Inclined plane wss
devised for the launching gear, but was
never needed. And meanwhile Dr. Miller

Boat Crews Train
to Outrow Pennsy j
at Naval Academy
Academy Meets Pennsylvania May, 6,
Columbia May 13 May Meet Yale
Later, but Not Harvard.
ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 7.-Rowlng at the
Naval academy Is awaited with much Inter
est, and there Is every Indication of on
of the strongest crews that has repre
sented the Navy for many seasons. .An
effort I being made to secure some races
for the fours, a contest of the kind not
having taken place here since the early
days of rowing at the academy.
The distinct event of the season will be
the races scheduled with the University
of Pennsylvania, after aquatic relations
had been discontinued for a half doien
years. Pennsylvania will bring Its varsity
and freshman crews to Annapolis on May &
The varsity and the first Navy crew will
contest over the two-mile course, while the
freshman and fourth-class crews will pull
a half mile less. The only other race
definitely fixed Is that .with Columbia on
May 13. It Is likely that Syracuse and
Trlnceton will both send crews to Anna
polls, the latter probably a four.
It is settled that there will be no race
with Harvard this season, but negotiations
are still pending with Yale, though the
chances of a race are not great. There Is
also a correspondence In progress with
Princeton, and It Is hoped that the latter
will use Its newly granted permission to
arrange one or two races by sending at
least a four to Annapolis. Syracuse will
row at Annapolis If It straightens out its
aquatic tangle and supports a crew as
usual.
1 The first and second crews have lost but
two members each by graduation, resigna
tion and Illness. Of the first crew Brown,
bow, has been graduated, and King, No. 4,
has typhoid and will not be able to row.
There remains Weems, No. 2; Agrell, No.
3; Merring, No. 6; Griffin, No. 6; John
ston, No. 7, and Loftin, stroke. In the sec
ond crew Alnsworth, stroke, has been
graduated, and Spencer, No. S, has re
signed. The following are still available:
Booth, bow; Powell, No. 2; Whiting, No. 3;
Meyer, No. 4; Erti, No. 5, and Meigs, No.
7. Coach Glendon will also have the men
who composed the excellent fourth class
crew last season.
The rowing squad will get several notable
additions from other branches of sport.
Douglas, the tall foot ball tackle, basket
ball and lacrosse player. Is going to make
a strong effort to make the first crew
this .year.
He abandoned lacrosse for rowing last
spring, but did not get further than the
third boat. This season he Is likely to do
better. N
Brown, the big foot ball guard from the
fourth class, has decided that he will row,
but whether Glendon can find a place for
his 208 pounds Is a question, and he also
needs to learn the art of rowing from the
beginning. ,
JJalton, the husky halfback, who has been
elected captain of the foot ball team, and
McReacy, the fourth class man, who did
such fine work In the back field, are both
Inclined to take up th rowing game.
Lagrave Has Chance
.For Championship
California Lad Said to Show Indica
tion of Real Class as Ring
. Fighter.
BAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 7.-8am Fttz
patrick, tha veteran handler of pugilists,
still Insists that In Anton Lagrave, a Cal
ifornia boy, he has a coming lightweight
champion. Lagravr Jumped Into proml
ennce last fall by fighting a fifteen-round
draw wltf Battling Nelson. Prior to that
vent Lagrave was a rather green novice-,
but .under Fitrpatrlck's handling he im
proved so rapidly that he afforded a stun
ning surprise- Fltxpatiick now wants to
pit Lagrave against the new Coast won
der, One Round Hogan, who recently took
the measure of Johnny Frayne and prob
ably will meet Lew Powell In Frisco this
month. Fitzpatrlck says: i
"Lagrave will box Hogan any time the
promoters see fit to match them. La
grave is In good shape, and with three
weeks In which to train he can make 133
pounds without weakening himself." That
he is not looking for a big loser's end Is
shown by his willingness to box 'winner
take all. Furthermore If Hogan and his
backer are looking for a chance to pick
up a uice chunk of easy coin and con
sider the .'One Rounder' to be Lagrave'
master I will wager $1,000 on the result
and will put this sum with any reliable
stakeholder the other side sees fit to
name.
"There's a -wrong Idea about Lagrave's
'weight. He Isn't a welterweight, as he
can do 133 pound four hours before the
fight, and we will post a forfeit to guar
antee that this mark will be scaled by
him at the hour named. I am confident
that Lagrave can whip Hogan and Powell.
I want him to tackle these men first, so
that he will be In position to challenge
Wolgast. Moran or Freddie Welsh. He
in the best lightweight I have seen since
I handled Kid Ivigne, and that means a
W-t."

Play In 1012.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 7. It was ad
mitted by a University of Pennsylvania
athletic officer here that Harvard and the
Quaker eleven are likely to meet on the
gridiron In 1311 He said that the Harvard-
Princeton game was not to be an annual
event; that It was merely arranged In ac
cordance with a year-old agreement. If
Harvard finds that tha Princeton match
does not give the varsity too many big
games, the Tigers will be dropped and
Pennsylvania taken on In 1912, It Is said.
