— says Mr, Lody 
Smith of New York 
about 3 -in-One Oil. 
Mr. Smith fishes when¬ 
ever he has a moment to spare; 
and when he talks about any* 
thing relating to fishing he 
knows whereof he speaks. 
Read Mr. Smith’s letter: 
“For use on floating flies, I find 
that the feathers are not affected 
by the hackles and wings sticking 
together. There is an entire ab¬ 
sence of paraffin which is present 
in most of the dry fly solutions. I 
also use 3-in-One for my reels, 
lines, etc., and recently discover¬ 
ed that it was a good repellent of 
black flees, mosquitos and midgets, 
better to use than heavy greases.”

AN UNIQUE POWER PLANT FOR FISHING. 
Driving the same propeller in the same boat 
with both an 85-h.p. and a io-h.p. motor is some¬ 
things decidedly startling and unusual. Yet that 
is precisely what Mr. Willard W. Clock, presi¬ 
dent of the Live Fish Company of Long Island, 
is successfully doing in his 35-ft. fishing boat 
Doc. Mr. Clock is an ardent disciple of Isaak 
Walton and is especially fond of taking the 
tarpon and kingfish in the warm waters of 
Florida. With others, he has faced the problem 
of getting a motor boat which would be fast 
enough to carry him from home out to the 
fishing grounds and back again after the day’s 
sport was over in the briefest possible time, 
yet which would be slow enough for satisfactory 
trolling on the grounds. After making a very 
careful study of the situation, he came to the 
conclusion that it would be perfectly feasible to 
install with direct drive a speed-engine of suffi¬ 
cient power to give the boat the required cruis¬ 
ing speed, and to install in addition a small 
engine geared to the propeller shaft which would 
drive the boat along slowly and steadily when the 
fish lines were out astern, the main engine being 
shut off at this time. 
First, Mr. Clock had a boat built for this ex¬ 
press purpose, one light enough to make good 
speed, yet of sufficiently heavy construction to 
provide for the amount of machinery to be car¬ 
ried. The dimensions are 35 ft. by 6 ft., and 
the draught very moderate to permit extensive 
cruising in the shallow waters of Florida. As 
the novel power plant for this boat the Sterling 
was selected as by far the most efficient and 
adaptable for the dual purpose intended. For the 
main engine, a Sterling Model B, 50-85-h.p., was 
installed in the usual manner. Then, resting 
upon a specially built sub-base, and then the 
flywheel facing aft, a Sterling Model C, 8-10-h.p 
motor was placed above the propeller shaft. The 
small motor was geared to the main shaft with 
beveled gears at a ratio of two to one. On the 
rear of the tail shaft of the small engine a 
special one way clutch was installed. The whole 
overall distance between the two flywheels meas¬ 
ures 10 ft. 6in. 
The owner is enthusiastic over his novel 
power plant, which after a Winter’s use in the 
waters of Florida, appears to be eminently satis¬ 
factory in every particular. The small motor is 
so light that its height in the boat does not 
make the craft topheavy, and the vibration is 
scarcely perceptible. Mr. Clock ran the boat all 
the way South, from Long Island to Miami last 
Winter without mishap. There is nothing freak¬ 
ish or impractical about the installation of the 
two Sterlings in this boat. Instead, it seems to 
be the solution of a difficulty met by everyone 
who wanted a fast runabout for fishing purposes 
which could also be run slowly enough for satis¬ 
factory trolling. Mr. Clock has just written the 
manufacturers as follows, according to “The 
Rudder— 
“For trolling purposes, for tarpon or kingfish. 
we can run at any speed from 2 to 6 miles per 
hour with the 8-10-h.p. engine, at a very small 
cost. When ready to return, we throw in the 
one-way clutch and start large engine with the 
small one; in fact, either engine may be started 
with the other. The arrangement is certainly an 
ideal one for trolling purposes, giving a range 
of from 2 to 20 knots and enabling us to troll 
all day on less than 10 gallons of gasoline.

TY COBB STEALS HOME WITH AN 
A. H. FOX GUN. 
Ty Cobb has Been Presented with a Made to 
Measure A. H. Fox Gun. 
The presentation took place at Shibe Park, 
Philadelphia, on June 12. A great crowd was 
present, and as the committee came forward to 
meet Ty, who had just stepped up to bat, a 
cheering and clapping arose that was ample evi¬ 
dence of his poularity. 
While in material, design and workmanship his 
gun is a standard guaranteed Fox, drop, bore, 
barrels, choke, etc. were discussed in detail; 
Cobb all the while appeared as delighted as a 
busher breaking into a big league. 
Here’s wishing Cobb a battijig average at the 
top of the list, and a gunning average that will 
beat any he has ever made before and the Fox 
can make it if he holds on. 
Our Stock of GUNS 
is most complete, also our line of Hunting Clothing 
and Shoes, as well as everything pertaining to this sport. 
Our line of Football, Boxing, Skating, Gymnasium and 
Basket Ball Outfits is also complete and are described 
in Fall and Winter catalogue No. 69. Send for it as well as list of Gun Bargains.
