Temple Criticises Cash Prizes.

Apropos Of the offer OF SPECIAL prizes
of money to the players of various Ma
tional league baseball clubs, Mr.. w. C.
Temple. the donor of the discarded
Temple cup, Is opposed to such meas
ures because, in his opinion, 1t will fos.
ter gambling. He gave some inside his
tory of the charge of collision Of. some
of the players of the Baltimore and
Boston teams who played for the Tenn
pie cup last season. He said:
Il notice the Pittsburg club has fallen
into line and intends to give cash prizes
If the team finishes fifth or better. The
club was compelled to do this by the ac-
ton of other clubs. The offers OF mon
ey by the clubs starting it proves that
the Temple cup principle was the right
one. and 1t should have been continued.
II gave the National league officials
the names of four members of tho Bos-
ton and four members of the Baltimore
teams who had agreed to divide the
Temple cup money. I told them this
was disgrace to the game and asked
that the eight men be blackl!sted. The
League officials poohpoohed at the idea
and said they did not believe 1t. Of

mission this season. A great many OF
the larger sailing craft also will not be
taken out of their winter quarters this
summer. All this Will of course detract
a great deal from the usual interest
and excitement that attend the annual
cruises and regattaS of the prominent
yacht clubs.
Small boat owners and those who are
Interested in the doings of what 10
known among yachtsmen as the mos
quito fleet believe that all this will have
a tendency to increase the popularity
of that class of boats. Many yachts
men who have been In the habit of
cruising and racing in large sloops and
schooners are this year afraid to Ven
ture in their vessels far from the shore
and consequently will turn to the 20 and
20 footcrs, which can be handled near
the coast and in the numerous sounds
and inlets of our vast seaboard.
The leading organization TO encour-
age small boat sailing in the United
States is the Seawanhaka Corinthian
Yacht club of New York. This club has
done much to foster Corinthian racing
in the United States-that is, races in
which the boats are neither sailed nor
manned by professionals. Its member
amateur yachtsmen of the country.
Nothing in years has contributed SO
much to the awakening of interest In
Corinthian racing as the action of the
SeawanhalSa club In instituting what is
officially known as the "Seawanhaka
international challenge cup for small
yachts" The matches for this trophy
are limited to boats whose racing meas
urement does not exceed the maximum
limit of the so called Is foot class or fall
below the minimum limit OF the 10 foot
class.
For two years the Seawanhaka club
retained the cup, but in 1896 the Cana
dams managed to carry 1t off. Last
spring IL little yachts were built to
contend for the honor of trying to win
back the coveted prize. The Canadians
built eight boats from which to select a
defender. Heavy weather was the rule
during the trial races. The Mono and
Alanka. designed by the Cranes of Bos-
ton, proved the best in all work. The
Mono was finally selected. The Cana
dian boat was the Glencairn H. de-
signed by r. II. Duggan.
The breaking of the tiller Of the Cana
dian craft at the start of the first race
caused her to stave a hole in her bow
by colliding with the stnkeboat BY
reason OF her taking In water she lost
the race. but she won the others handi.
ly, the heavy weather encountered be-
ing clearly in her favor.
This year strenuous efforts are again
being made to win back the cup. Trial
races for the purpose of selecting the
yacht to represent this country will be
held on July IL, ~ and 10. Any organ
lied yacht club may send representa-
tive to compete in these trial events.
The Cranes are building three boats. ono

family and the third for syndicate

ka club, Several western organizations
are also building. and as some of the

Jimmy Michael, the wonderful little
bicycle racer. Is now training faithfully
at the Manhattan Beach track, near
New York, for the match contests in
which he Is to take part this season. No
rider on the track works harder or more
conscientiously than does this boy, for
such he Is In fact. Many a scorcher
meeting him riding along the roads near
Coney Island going to and from the
track starts in to give him brush,
not recognizing In the smooth faced lit
tie fellow the greatest distance rider OF
the decade Michael enjoys fooling these
fellows. He let's them keep in front of
him for u spell and then, seemingly
without effort, passes the wondering
wheelman as II he were sitting still.
The midget is now engaged to ride
nine races during July and August, one
each Saturday, with guarantee for
each race Of $500 from the American
Cycle Racing association. These are in
addition to the three races with Bald,
which will yield at least $500 more TO
the little fellow. He has therefore ten
contracts ON hand for two months,
worth in the aggregate at least $25,O00,
and his exhibitions during that time
will all be extra money toward paying
the expenses of his paoemalSing team,
which they will easily cover.
After his engagements with the Amer
lean Cycle Racing association have been
fulfilled Michael will have two months
at the most profitable season of the
year, the months of September and Oc-
tober, still before him. Should he win
a majority Of the contests and still be
champion when September rolls around
half as much again can be added to his
earnings over and above what he gets
in July and August. This $4,000 will
make very respectable sum for the
little. Welshman and his manager as a
result of four months earnings Of his
legs.
The men who are to tackle Michael
during July and August have not all
been selected, but Tom Linton and Ed
Guard Taylore, the Frenchman, are sure
TO be among them. Michael considers
these two the most formidable men he
will meet this year and says that IL he
can defeat them he has no fear of be-
ing worsted by any of the other cracks.
1t is settled however, that the first
man to try his speed against Michael
shall be McDufiie. tho Boston racing

possible, so as to make the race for
boats that are less of shells and more
like the knockabouts and that are not
so expensive to build as the present
type.
The least error In the set of sail will
render one of the present type of racers
Of no use. In fact, last year the Glen
cairn had set OF silk racing sails.
Some of the regulations governing the
Seawanhaka cup contest are interest,"
ing. For instance, the helmsmen and
crew, which is limited to four, shall be
amateurs. Shifting ballast is not al
lowed. No outrigger or other mechan-
ical device for carrying live ballast
outboard Is permissible. Sails are lin
tied to mainsail jibs and spinnaker
The formula for determining the racing
length under. the Seawanhaka Corin-
THAN Yacht club rules is as follows:
Add to the load water line length the
square root of the sail area and divide
the sum by 2.
The races this year for the cup will
be held on Aug. 49, Is, 16 and two fol-
lowing days IL necessary.

put in over 400 pounds, which was of
immense value to her.
Although yachtsmen do not approve
of making these boats SO fragile. they
recognize that to win the races 1t must
be DONE AS a matter of fact they
strongly disapprove of this sort of boat
altogether. for after the races are over
they are absolutely of no use. The only
good point about them Is that they
serve as excellent training for amateur
yachtsmen. But one does not ordinarl-
y care to go out in a boat in which he
has to lie at full length the whole time
and perform various acrobatic feats
whenever she goe. about. Again. these
cockleshells are too sensitive for ordi-
nary purposes. The slightest turn Of
the helm will send them round right
on their keels. A story is current among
the yachtsmen Of Long Island sound In
regard to the Ethelwynn, one of the
American cup defenders. During one
of the trial races in the sound the
steersman put down his helm, and be-
fore either he or his crew had time to
think the boat had gone around twice.
The sort of craft specially advocated
by the Seawnnhaka members as best
fitted for amateur yachtsmen Is the
knockabout class SO popular last year.
The knockabout, properly speaking, Is
a boat with mainsail and foresail. no

is designing boat. Commodore James
Ross and Sir Donald a. Smith have also
placed orders for little yachts to COM
pete in the trial races on Lake st. Louis,
on which piece of water the races are to
be again held.
The first two years the races were
with 10 foot boats, but in the third
match the Canadians stipulated for a
20 footer, and again last year the boats
used were of that length. Should the
Americans succeed in winning the races
this season 1t is probable that next sea-
son the extreme limit allowed, % feet,
will be used. In the shallow Canadian
waters boat longer than 20 feet is liza
ble to ground when her centerboard is
down.
The members of the Seawanhaka
club recognize that one reason OF their
failure last year was the fact that the
Mono was built too rigidly, whereas
the Canadian racer was put together
lightly, even TO the point of danger.
The consequence was that while the
American boat could only carry 100 or
100 pounds of lead In her keel as bal
last the Canadian craft was enabled to
