Special Correspo, e nee OF The Sunday Republic.
According to the verdict handed down by
Umpire Rapp a week ago Saturday. the
LemD cup race is to be rerowed to-day from
the head Of Arsenal Island to the Western
boathousc. The unsatisfactory ending Of
the race on July was responsible for this
order.
Whether the entire field of the first race
will start remains to be seen. Frank Succig
of the Mound Ctys protested that his crew
was entitled to first place in the race, and
that they would not row again. He may
reconsider this and compete this afternoon,
however
The Western crews are likely to start
One of the barges. claimed to have been
interfered with at the start of the race on
the Fourth, and to have been practically
knocked out of the contest. The st. Louis
barge was accused of the interference.
The Century crew is also likely to COM
pete. The last race was the first appear
ance of the men together. the barge crew
having been organized this spring. Dwight
Evans, formerly Of the Harvard crew, is
one of the members, and the coaching IS
done by a former member of a Cornell crew.
An entirely new stroke-new, at least, in
these waters-was introduced for the first
time In the Lemp barge race. The men arc
anxious for all the practice possible. and

Both the st. Louis and Mound City crews.
however. seem to have grievances. While
st. Louis may compete. c. Mccullough,
their judge at the finish, claimed that his
men were entitled to first place: that they
csfne from behind in the race, and that the
foul was due to no fault of their own, hut
to the fact that the steamers crowded them
over into the Mound City crews water
As counter argument. the Mound City
hn npnAltv
should be disqualificatio ton: that the st. Louis
men fouled them palpably, to the extent of
breaking two of their oars. and that they
given them without any argument. They
state. moreover, that no crew has a right
to enter another crews water.

TYPES OF SUCCESSFUL FIGHTERS
ARE VARIABLE IN ALL CLASSES
So Thinks Tommy Sullivan Who Does Not
BE Picked the Typical Prize Fighter
Lightly Developed Men Have Their Advantages as Have
the Bulky Felows-Sometimes Class Is ON Top
Sometimes the Other.

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY EETtBtlC.
1t Is impossible to say just which type OF
pugilist is best fitted for work in the ring.
This is the opinion of Brooklyn Tommy Sal
Ivan. the fighter who won from Foltz last
Thursday evening, and who will meet Young
Corbott here July 90.
There's no telling just what build of man
IS best cut out for the prize ring said Sulli
van last week. las YOU will find that the
types Of the top notchcrs vary from year
to year. Some years We have Il wel!-buit
fellow as champion. who could pose for Il
piece of sculpture; then we nave a laEky
man like Bob Fitzsimmons, who couldn't
pose at all.
THE chunky man became 50 well adapt
ed for the football game that he has given
his name to the short. squatty typc-the
football build. If you tried to name any one
type of fighter as the ideal rusilist you
would have big contract on YOUR hands.
Just take the champions in the heavy
weight class lately. John l.. Sullivan WIS
splendidly developed. but WAS OF the heavy.
solidly built type. Corbett was light in
comparison. and his victory seemed to put
the spry. agile fellow on top. Then awk-
ward-ooking old Fitz bobbnd up. only to
go down before Jeffrits. who is bulkier-
looking than any man we have yet had as
champion.
Take the feather-weisht class. Dixon
was OF the light, SHINY built type-d beauti-
disappearing man in the ring. He was put
away by Mctiovern. who is sheer mass Of
muscle. Then Young Corbctt. another
chunky and nuGgety fighter, puts Terry
away.
in the bantam class, Daushcrty. who
was one of the most gracefui-appearine
men in the ring in his day. was knocked
out by Harry Forbes. who is of an entirely
different build. While powerfully construct
ed, Forbes does not incline to any special
build. but is just Il solidiy constructed
fighting machine.
I'VE can't say that the lanky man is out
of it when it comes TO 4 fight with a COM
pactly arranged fighter. because we have
Fitz and George Gardiner with u. Gardiner
Is one of the tallest men in the ring and
seems thin in proportion. We can't say
that the bulky man is no good. for Jeffrics
Is champion. As for the chunky men. Young
Corhett represents them well enough.
There is another point to nOt:ce-and
that is. that some fighters seem to be over
~ developed in one direction. and yet are
h!Eh-class scrappers. Take Abe Attell and
Syracuse Tommy Ryan. Both are among
the very best in their class today. Yet. on
the first view, one would get the impression
that their legs are undulv heavy. Both
have very heavy thighs and knees.
This is probably due to their expertness
at footwork. Attelrs constant skipping
around has developed his legs TO an cx-

There are some men, however. who seem 81

regatta is to be held here next year has
aroused much interest in the sport. among
many who mad never patronized aqua;ics
before and the attendance is expected to be
unusually large.
Two disadvantages of last season have
been provided for. The main point is the
question of transportation. Arrangements
have been made this year by which the
train service will be regular. and by which,
the car service on the Transit lines VIII
also be more frequent.
Visitors can thus go to either eEd of the
lake to witness the races. They can also go
home by the route that pleases them best.
Another provision H. that Of dredging out

longer strafghtaway. This. it Is believed.
will he much improved upon by next year.
The regatta will be held July 2s and 70.
and the prospects are good for high-ciass

While Bryan was speaking in Iowa,

up by tariff reformers'' or tariff re

Gov. Cummins found no indorse

ZERO IS AN ANCIENT TERM.

Was in Use by the 1abyIonians
Thirty-Six Hundred Years Ago.
The term zero. which is used to
designate a cipher and in meteor
ology the entire absence of heat in
the atmosphere, was, according to a
mathematical historian Moritz Can
tor, used by the Babylonians about
the year 100 B. C. This, however, is
merely a supposition. 1t has not
been definitely established that zero
was in use any earlier than 400 A D.
About this time it was used in India
and several centuries later the Arabs
began to employ it. Through the
Arabs its use became known to
Europeans during the twelfth cen
fury. 1t was not generally adopted
in Europe until several centuries
later, Notwithstanding its great ad-
yantages. For a considerable time
there were two parties among the
European educators. One party.
known as the algorists, favored the
adoption of the Hindoo system OF
notation falsely called Arabic), with
it's position values, while the other
known as the abacists, favored the
Roman notation, without zero or posi-
ton value.
The general adoption of the Hindoo
system was greatly facilitated by the
facts that it was explained in most
of the calendars for more than a cen
fury beginning with 1900 and that
the medieval universities frequently
offered courses devoted to the use OF
this notation.
