Class Yachts Are
Very Fast

For the second time this season the
banner number, twenuy-three boats,
entered the White Bear regatta yester-
day afternoon. The day was all that
could be desired, but the wind was hard
ly heavy enough for fast time
Harriet E, well sailed by Sam Shepard
in the open class, carried off the nonors
OF the day for the fastest time covering
the eight-knot course twenty-six seconds
better than the Minnesota in the A class
This is the second time this season tina
the winner of the open class beat out the
big fellows
TIE three boats in the A class were
sent off at 3:1O Highlander was slightly
in the lead after the boats got straight
ened out to center, and at Wildwood was
leading by a minute Minnesota over
hauled her and turned the fourth mile
thirteen seconds in front of the MacLar-
en- craft. with St. PAU a minute behind.
Highlander recovered the lead shortly
after only to LOSE it again at the seventh
buoy where Minnesota and ST. Paul botn
passed her. Minnesota won by min
ute and half over St. Paul There
was a good start of the class B boats.
Avis was first TO eenter and led the en-
tire distance. sailing a splendid race.
Nokomis neld on well for five miles, but
Capt Ring wanted the race, and would
Nausett, sailed by Mr. T. L. Wann,
was third. and Jim Crack fourth.
Keewaydin, with her name changed to
Adel5ne NJ, and sailed by Herr Roden-
berg, threatened 10 make runaway
race of it in the open class. She got off
we'll and with Cavite, Goblin, Harriet
and spindrift following, led to Wildwood
Weiraling got off absolutely last and
held this position to the Wildwood buoy.
On the beat to center she passed all the
Harriet Harriet finished first with
Heirdling second, Adeline M third and
Cavite fourth. The race, however. may
go to the Goblin.
A short time ago new schedule Of
handicaps was posted, increasing the al
lowance to certain of the boats.
A notice was filed with the regatta
committee by the shippers of the scratch
boats protesting against this extra al
lowance and asking that the schedule
adopted at the beginning of the season
be used. The old schedule gave Goblin
seven minutes, while the new one gives
her ten, and If the latter Is used Goblin
will get the race .
The same point Will also affect the
standing Of Falcon iii yesterdays race.
Falcons allowance was increased from
six to twelve minutes. There is also 4
desire among the scratch men of the open
class to cut the class in two, putting the
scratch boats in a class by themselves
and the others in another class, with very
small handicaps where found necessary
In Class c Blanca won by a narrow
margin, with Daphne second and N u
third. Blanca led nearly all the way. Imp
did not cross the starting line properly
and was disqualified.

of the men now fighting he Will turn
you off by talking about the men he used
to know and train with. Naturally his
sympathies are with the old generation.
He does not classify the present heroes
of the ring as fighters, he calls them
boxers, and he is right. He pointed out
to me how reasonable it was to ella m
that 1t took greater Skill and greater
strength and science to fight without
gloves than to fight with them.
Il do not believe" said he, chat It IS
true that the game today is more scien-
tifc than it used to De. The so-called
improvements have been in the way Of
protecting a man from punishment They
have all kinds of devices to protect the
hands it is true, and they are therefore
less liable to injury, and upon this they
claim that they have gained in science,
and say that the less injurious results of
fighting today prove that the older fight
ers were men without skill, merely brutal
and awkward.
OLD WAY THE BEST.
ST know shall be called prejudiced and
old-fashioned, but think 1t is patent to
every one that to avoid punishment when
your opponent goes at you with bare
fists is much more fficult than to do
so when he wears immense gloves which
you can see and avoid no matter how
Taplu the movement OIL the IanQ. Then,
again, the modern boxer can hit and
swing in every conceivable manner with
out danger to his hands, whereas we had
to hit stra ght out for a long side swing
might knock a mans hand out If he
landed right, or rather if he landed
wrong. Therefore, I contend, that 1t took
more physical power to effect a knock
out then than it does now. AS proof
of this l ask you to note how many times
a mans jaw Is landed on in any of the
recent big fights without putting him
out"
Is not Donovan right? Any man who
has followed the history of the ring and
who is familiar with the records of the
past and present must agree that with
few exceptions our pugilists today are
not lighters but BOXERS. The talk
is Of McCoy's RAPID foot work" of Cor
belts "shiftiness," hut seldom do you
hear of the hitting ability or of the
power of endurance of these men. Fitz-
simmons is an exception to this, of
course.
But it is rare treat to talk 10 this
man: Do not miss it if you ever have
an opportunity. After he has given you
a page or two out of his own history,
and described some of the Old battles
which are still fresh and new to him,
though strange to you, and thrown in n
kind word or two for old Jack Dempsey
and some of the other more recent ones,
you will go away feeling differently to-
ward the ''old-timer," and agree that
after all there were giants in those
days. Larry Hodgson.
