...Engine consists of two cylinders developing 90 h.p. in the air, 150 h.p. in block tests. It weighs 500 Ib.-considerably more per horsepower than gasoline airplane engines. Steam is generated from water (not from any special chemical) by burning cheap crude-oil. Sealed condensers return the steam from the cylinders to the boiler with only 1% loss. Constant pressure in the boilers is maintained by electric gauges which automatically ignite the burners when pressure begins to fall. Take-off pressure can be generated in one minute. The engine is reversible in flight, effecting a short, slow landing...

For persons too lazy or slow to be good at singles, which can cause expert players to lose as much as 10 Ib. in a match, doubles handball on the same sized court (46 by 22 ft.) is a comfortable pastime. Angelo Trulio had the additional disappointment last week of getting put out of the doubles with his partner, Maynard Laswell, by McCarthy & Serritella of Chicago who lost to Jack Endzvick & Joe Goudreau...
