Among the younger athletes who
promise to do some excellent work In the
future may be mentioned August p.
Schwaner, of the Young Mems Institute,
where he first trained, and the New York
A. c., under whose emblem he will con-
tnue his successful career, says the New
York Sun. Schwaner first made his APP
pearance in athletics at the open games
of the Orange Y. M. c. A. He won the
standing high jump under the coors OF
the Pastime A. c., clearing feet inches.
Under the direction DR.. Yornell OF
the Young Mems Institute, Schwaner
developed his abilities and became fac
tor in Christian athletic circles. He Is
credited with the following United States
Y. NJ. c. A. records: Standing high
jump, 8 feet; standing broad jump, 10
feet 6A inches; two standing jumps, ~
feet 5hinches; three standing jumps, 80
feet 61a inches; standing hop, step and
jump, 20 feet 8 inches. After establish
ing these records Schwaner cast his lot
with the N. Y. A. G. athletes.
On January %, 1892, at the metropoli-
tan championships, he won the standing
high jump with feet IL inches, and the
standing broad jump with 10 feet w
inches. The same night he increased the
latter distance TO 10 feet 10h inches, a
worlds record, but 1t was not allowed.
At Boston, on March 13 last, Schwaner
won first prize in the standing broac
Jump, doing 10feet 9h inches. This wa,
within quarter of an inch of the world'i
record. He then prepared himself for
The New York A. c. summer games. IL
IN exhibition jump at the Young Men,
institute gym" he cleared the bar
& feet inches, breaking ali
records for the standing high
jump. On June IL Schwaner made a
standing high jump Of feet ga inches,
breaking the amateur record by two
inches and the professional record by a
quarter of an inch. For his great efforts
the New York Club voted record medal
TO Schwaner. The champions last notable
feat was at the fall games of the New
York A. c., on October s, 1892, when ho
broke Malcolm Ford's standing broad
jump record of 10 feet 9s4 inches by GOV.
ering 10 feet 9% inches.
Schwaner has the remarkable record OF
winning every event in which he has
competed. He will now try his ability a,
the running high jump. His one am
bition is to get all the jumps TO his
credit.
Schwsner is twenty three years old
born OF German parents, is feet 1917

NOTED YACHTDESIGNER.
George |. Watson, the Architect of
the Valkyrie.
HERRESHOFF'S ENGLISH RIVAL.
He VIII Try to Construct n Boat That
VIII Hold the Cup - sketch OF Hts
Career-The Yachts He Has Built-A
Very Busy Man.

George L. Watson, the noted yacht de-
signer and draughtsman of the Clyde,
who is designing Lord Dunraven's yacht
Valkyrie, which will race for the Ameri-
ca cup next fall, was born at Glasgow
forty-one years ago, says the New York
Sun. Early in life he exhibited a great
fondness for the sea, and most OF his
time during school vacations was spent
along the shore and in boating at Inver-
kip, Renfrewshire coast resort.
At an early age he showed a decided
inclination for the naval architects pro-
fession. He was apprenticed to the
Messrs. Napier, the famous Glasgow
shipbuilders, for the purpose OF becom-
ing draughtsman. Then he was only
sixteen years old. He was subsequently
employed at another large shipbuilding
firm, the Messrs. IDglis, at Penthouse,
where he further perfected himself in
his chosen profession. Finding more at
traction in designing and building OF
yachts, he left the Messrs. Inglis in 1874,
and set himself up at Glasgow as a naval
srchite ct, especially devoting himself to
the turning out OF yachts.

petition.
That New York yachtsmen do not in
tend TO let any grass grow under their
feet in regard to having a defender Of
the America Cup against Lord Dunraven's s
yacht Valkyrie is evident from news re-
ceived from Bristol, II. /. The Herre-
shoffs have received an order for steel
boat from Archibald Rogers OF New York,
who is acting for asyndicate Of New York
yachtsmen.
The Herreshoffs will begin the work OF
construction as soon as the Carroll 81
footer can be got out OF the shops. She
is intended to be a cup defender.
Whether the new boat will be keel or
centreboard is not now made public.
Mr.. Rogers is at present the owner Of
the champion 46- footer Wasp, which was
so creditably sailed last season by Capt.
Charles Barr, and it would not be unlikely
if he were favorably considered by the
syndicate, OF which he is the head, as the
skipper to sail the new boat.
1t is also stated that Henry Bryant, the
designer and late owner of the stanch
schooner Alert, is about to have a big
sloop built TO race against the one that
Archibald Rogers has Just ordered of the
Herreshoffs. 1t seems that eastern yachts
men have understood, ever since the
challenge was accepted, that Mr.. Bryant
intended to build, and that 1t was only a
question whether he assumed the entire
responsibility or whether others would
share the expense.
Mr.. Bryant has had considerable ex-
perience in yacht designing. He served
an apprenticeship in one Of the large
.shipbuilding yards on the Clyde and he
is a graduate OF the College of Naval
Architecture, in Glasgow. He designed
the sloop Thetis, which defeated the cut
ter Stranger a few years ago, so il he
should decide to lay out the new boa,
himself, with the aid and advice OF Gel
Paine, the Herreshoffs might find a for

WILL ISSUE BONDS.
The New York Base Ball Club Decides
on That Course.

The meeting of the stock holders OF the
New York Base Ball Club held few days
ago had been anticipated with a good
deal of interest. AS IL was we'll known
that the close of last season had left the
club in something of a financial hole,
some curiosity was manifested as to what
steps would be taken to clear things up.
Treasurer j. w. Spaulding read a state
ment OF the financial condition OF the
club, which showed a debt in round
Numbers OF $4,000, the greater part Of
which was due to players for arrears of
salaries. The players TO whom salaries
are due now hold notes drawn at seven
months time. A large number of
suggestions were offered as TO the
speed!est and best method Of straight
ening out the tangle, but the one which
was finally adopted calls for the issuance
OF s50, 900 worth OF bonds at 6 per cent,
payable in years time. Each stock
holder will be permitted to su bscribe for
these bonds in the proportion of 10 per
cent. OF their holdings of the stock. II
any OF the stockholders fail to take bonds,
those not taken will be divided among
tho stock holders willing to take them.
The effect will be TO put the bondholders
in control of the club.
This plan will be presented to the
stockholders at another special meeting
to be held at Jersey City on Friday, JAM
uary 8. The plan will unquestionably be
adopted.
1t is held that in addition to paying of
all the clubs debts before the opening OF
the next playing season, the bonding
plan will enable the club 10 start next
spring with good working capital,
something that has been absent for some
seasons past.
II issaid that AZ the meeting new pres
ident will be chosen to succeed John b
Dav.

night and attempted to do up .he local
team but the Walthams had not teen

CLUB OFFICIALS DIsGUsTED.
The Conev Island Athletic Club withdraws
That 045,O 900 Purse.


NEW YORK, Dec. 2s. = Matchmaker
Judge Newton, of the Coney Island Ath-
letic Club, which offered purse OF s45, 900
for a fight between McAuliffe and Burge
for the lightweight championship OF the
world, announced TO the representatives
OF the principals last night that the club
would withdraw the purse and declare
the match of.
The only explanation OF Newton's action
Is that his patience and that of the other
officials OF the club had become exhausted.
McAuliffe last night said: ITO show
that mean business will fight Burge for
anything and he does not need to post a
cent. i will meet him with two-ounce
gloves and at any weight he wishes TO
fight at. j stuck to that $4,000 clause
owning to information got that Burgc
was middle weight and wanted to
play q sharp trick"
McAuliffe was apparently very much
put out over the way the purse was with
drawn. Phil Dwyer says that he will
back McAuliffe to fight Brrge for 10000
O side.
