How a Zeppelin is built takes a year of fabrication plus three months of testing. The hull comprises seventeen to twenty five balloonettes on a girder frame with canvas skin and cabins along the length. A front lookout station with a sling, a first boat with two petrol engines, a central observation station housing steering sighting gear and wireless plant, and a crew area follow.

How Peckinpaugh Stayed With Majors
Joe Peckinpaugh, a Yankee, owed his major league stay to a Chance trade in 1913. He was nearly sent to the minors, but Chicago’s Frank Chance traded Selivelt and Stump for him, and Peckinpaugh stayed in the majors. His defense excelled though his bat was light, yet he led in runs for his team and played 157 games last season. Also noted, Fielder Jones plans a comeback as a pinch hitter if condition allows, and Boston’s Red Sox field a strong pitching staff under Carrigan with Joe Wool, Collins, Leopans, Foster, Shore, and Huth anchoring the rotation. Thorpe shows good form on bases and in bat, while Janvrin takes second base for Boston with other infielders lining up.
