A PRACTICAL TEST.
Com municatton Opened by wireless
Telegraphy with the Lucania
While Still Far Out at Sea.

Nantucket, Mass, Aug. 1o.-Com-
munication by wireless telegraphy
was established between the Nam
tucket lightship and the Lucania. the
incoming steamship of the Cunard
line. at six o'clock Friday evening
while she was still 20 miles east of the
lightship. Thus, in effect, many hours
were cut from the ocean voyage be-
tween Europe and America. Long be.
fore they sighted land the Lucania's
passengers were acquainted with the
worlds news of the present week.
New York, Aug. 19.-While mes
sages by the Marconi system of wire.

ceived from the steamship Lucania, off
Nantucket lightship Friday night, it
was, said on board the steamer at
quarantine Saturday that nothing
transmitted from the shore could be
understood on board the Lucania.

can Views.

Washington, Aug. 19.-Commission.
er Rockhill has not reported to the
state department as to whether the
protocol provides for the destruction
Of the Taku forts, but if the press
advices are correct, that the minis.
tiers have failed to include this pro.
vision in the protocol, the result will
be in line with the desires of this
government from the outset. When
the first tentative plan of negotia.
tons was put forward, including the
razing of the Taku and other forts.
this government expressed doubt as
to the advisability of such a move,
and it has all along been averse to
including it in the protocol.

{ @SREAT Is the American athlete.
81 who calmly sets about making
= worlds record, simply be-
cause another has temporarily set
aside one Of his marks. The foreign
ers are mystified over the way our
athletes annihilate all impediments
when the desire seizes them to set q
new record. There never was q more
deliberate preparation by man for
the regaining Of worlds record hon
ors than the independence day work
Of John Flanagan, the New York Ath-
letic club Hercules and 16-pound ham,
mer thrower.
1t will be recalled that last year
Flanagan hurled the weight l66 feet
nine inches, and because the Amateur
Athletic union committee of officials
that examined the hammer found it
was one-fourth of an inch short, al
though it weighed nearly an ounce
too much, the Irish athlete got his
mad up" and surprised all present
at the Travcrs island games by hurl-
ing the weight again to the distance
of 167 feet eight inches.
''There, that will stand until I get
ready to break it," remarked Flana-
gan, And the strange thing is that
he did break this worlds record
when he got ready, setting the new
mark at us feet 49, inches. And the
incentive for Flanagan's great work
at Celtic park, Long Island, in the
presence of thousands of his coun-
trymen? Why. a college youth out
in California who throws the hammer
in his street clothes farther than any
other athlete than Flanagan, and
whose little hand is SO soft and ten
der and feminine that he wears thin
kid glove when he practices with the
hammer, had smashed that 167-foot
record, making III feet two inches
from 'nine-foot circle at college
competition. Flanagan says he cares
little whether or not his latest mark
is generally accepted as a record.
That western lad, whose name is AL
Griggs courier. (Cooperstown, Griggs Co., Dak. [N.D.]) 1885-1902, 1901-08-22

fred Plaw, is member of the cele-
brated University of California Ath-
letic team, and has thrown the ham,
mer in the western intercollegiate
and the eastern intercollegiate annu-
al meets. Plaw is satisfied that Flan-
agan is mighty thrower, but is con-
tent to wait until he has put on a few
years. Then he will ask the A. A. u.
to grant sanction to him for an
open competition event, in which his
record will count officially, and he
will "let himself out"
By the way, 1t is considerable of a
farce for the governing body of ANA
teur athletics to give Flanagan, great
as he is in this line, an opportunity to
compete in an "open special event"
The idea of an ordinary athlete en-
tering the same event with big John
Flanagan! But then the A. A. U. red
tape must be wound around an ath-
letic performance, otherwise the rec
ords made will not "stand." The
hammer that Flanagan used when he
wiped out Plaw's record and set the
new mark at something over 1851
feet was two ounces over weight.
But that was Flanagan's fault. He
would rather carry "overwelght"
than be disqualified for a shortage.
The majority of the officials were
convinced that he had not fouled in
the nine-foot circle. But one man
said that the athlete had overstepped
the prescribed boundary, and he soon
admitted his error.
The accompanying picture of Flan-
agan at the top of his swing-that is
a golf expression that fits in here
made from rare photograph, shows
the desperate nature of his effort. If
there is any fraction of the mo-
mentum of the body that is not put
into that swing just at the instant
the hammer is released, then Flana-
gan has made mistake in judging his
turning inside the circle.
But isn't there q "knack" in hurl-
ing the hammer? OF course, there is.
Plaw himself told me when he was

Expen.e Of Molineux Trial.

few York, Aug. 17.-Edward R.
rroll, clerk of the court of general
ssions, has sent to Comptroller
Coler bill for $7,s2e for printing
the volume of testimony taken at the
trial of Roland B. Molineux for the
killing of Mrs. Katharine j. Adams.
The bills for stenographic work and
other expenses connected with the
trial far exceed this expense of the
mere printing of records of the case.

the distance the hammer was 3sent,
Plaw threw and Immediately he be-
came victim of the fascination of
the hammer-throwing game. Carroll
made him 12-pound hammer, and
one day he hurled it so far that it
was never found! Yes, it actually
fell into creek, and was not recov-
cred. Then he essayed the 16-pound
hammer, beat all the aspirants
for honors who threw where he did
and subsequently passed into the
championship class.
Not satified with the 16-pound ham
mer, Plaw made himself 56-pound
weight, and gained strength in
muscles that were brought into play
SO much while throwing.
What would you say il were to
tell you that some time ago when
Plaw was only 16 years old, he had
shown Carroll so much ability in
hurting the weights that he sent
word to the strong Irishman, Flana-
gan, that this school boy would, be-
fore three years were over, smash
Flanagan's figures. The reply of
Flanagan when he heard this was:
ut takes full-grown men to throw
the hammer"
If there is anything in the theory
that athletes mature much quicker
out on the Pacific coast than in the
east, then Plaw is full-grown man,
and Flanagan would better look out
for his honors. In competition pre-
vious to this year, Plaw's best official
mark was 1G5 feet eight inches. Plaw
had been raising his mark by inches
while Flanagan had gone upward by
feet. There were no athletes in Eu-
rope whom Flanagan feared. To look
q little into the future: If Flanagan
is alive when the Olympian games arc
decided in Chicago in 1908, he will be
what might be called full-grown
man. If Plaw is there. it will be
Plaw, no doubt, that will carry of
the honors. Youth conquers over age
at certain stages of athletics.

Followers of athletics are now anx-
ious to see whether Plaw will frac-

less some unknown college athlete is
heard from this fall-and tho
chances are very slimthere will only
be two hammer throwers in the world
who can threaten the 170-foot mark.
Plaw is but 90 years old. Standing
six feet high in his rubber-soled shoes,
he weighs about 220 pounds. Some
would call the athlete "soft" and too
flabhy to make an athletic team. This
idea would be intensified were tho
critics to see him stripped in GYM
nasium uniform. Soft white hands
and arms that lack the muscles SO
familiar in pictures of athletes, do.
not tend to brighten the portrait of
a record-breaking athlete. Yet Plaw
seems to make no particular effort
when he is throwing the hammer.
