WANTS OCEAN RACES.
Sir Thomas Upton Will Give $1,000
Challenge Thophy.

New York, Oct. Sir Thomas
llpton, who sailed today, for the other
SIDE, said to an interviewer just before
emharking that he had become an
enthusiast on ocean racing as the
supreme test Of yachting and of the
merits of yacht designers and sailors.
He will give to any yacht club that will
serve as guardian of the trust a $4,000
perpetual challenge cup for race to be
sailed annually from Sandy Hook to
the Needles, the race to be open to all
sloops, schooners and yaWls, without
allowances or restrictions of any sort.
In the opinion of Sir Thomas the yacht
club accepting his trophy should offer
a cup valued at least at 1000 as second
prize.
The time for the race should be in
May, to meet the donors views, which
would permit the arrival abroad of the
cruising yachts in time to take part in
the annual race for the German Elnper-
or's prize, sail from Dover to Heligo-
land. The time would suit yachtsmcn
abroad and would attract an inter
national entry, for such a contest would
appeal tos1<ing Edward, as we'll as the
German Emperor, and the best class of
yacht owners, SO that entries from
abroad would be sure to come. Ameri-
can designers, however, in Sir Thomas's
opinion, might be relied on to turn out
yachts suitable to every requirement of
such a race and equal to any that
might come across.
Our yachtsmen who have heard Of the
plan believe that such race would be
a success each season. They point out
that the Atlantic Yacht Club would
naturally BE the custodian of the gift,
from the location of the clubhouse at
Sea Gate, in proximity to the starting
place. and because Commodore Tod is
great upholder Of ocean races.

LOOKING FOR PROSPERITY.
Grand Trunk Officials Expect Good
Times in United States.

London, Oct 9.-AddreSsing the semi
annual meeting, Friday, of the share
holders of the Grand Trunk Railway Of
Canada, the president. Sir Chas. Rivers
Wilson, took exception to JOS. Cham
berlain's quotation on american au-
thOrity" during his speech at Greenock,
Wednesday, to the effect that American
trade was falling off. Sir Charles said
he saw no appreciate slackening in the
flow Of business.
The impression which he brought
home after his recent visit to Canada
and the United States was that the in
dustries of both countries We're pro-
crossing and that under ordinary con-
ditions there seemed to be no reason
why their continued development
should not be maintained lin spite of
the i'll directed efforts of the combna-
lions which had introduced such dis
turbing influences in the natural course
of business"
Sir Charles explained that although
the revenue of the Grand Trunk Rail-
way had largely increased, a CORE
spending increase in the expenditure
precluded profuse distribution of
dividends. The time, however, would
arrive when the Grand Trunk would
derive lasting advantages from the
present policy of liberal expenditure.

For deep-water birds call louder. Tor

BOSTON RIOTERS SUED.
A Pittsburg Band Gets After the "LoyaI
900"

Pittsburg. Penn, Oct. 9.-The sensa l.
ton of the -Pittsburg baseball
series was sprung at IL o'clock last
night. when Charles LAWS and Michael
McGreevy of Boston, head of the Loyal
200" who have come from Boston to
root for Collins team, were served
with papers on stepping out of the
Grand Opera House. where they had
been with both teams.
They are charged with breach Of con-
tract by the Greater Pittsburg Band,
and must appear before Alderman John
GroetZinger at 10 Saturday morning to
answer to the charge.
The Greater Pittsburg Band in enter
ing suit against the leaders of the Bos-
ton rooters claims $240, or three days
pay. at $50 day. They claim that
Messrs. LAWS and McGreevy entered
into a contract with them on reaching
Pittsburg to employ them four days at
salary of $50 per day, but after one
days play let them go and hired an
other band. Messrs. LAWS and Nc
Greevy deny this most emphatically.
and say they will fight the case.
News of the suit being entered caused
the greatest CONSERVATION among the
Boston people. and a party of loyal
Rooters." including some members of
the ball club at once announced
that they would raise a pool to fight
the matter without expense to Messrs.
LAWS or McGreevy.
A score of wealthy Pittsburg sports
came hastily to the front and offered to
lend any aid, financially or otherwise,
while several attorneys on their way
from the theatre offered their services
free to the Boston people.

the Portland Athletic Club, this fall.
Some of the men talked of say they
cannot play, but they talk of them,
just the same. Take the backs for
instance. They talk of Barry, the
Brown University half back who was
in many respects one of the best men
back of the line in 1902. Jennings, the
Dartmouth back, whom Walter Camp
named for first sub on the All-American
team. Walter Clarke, once captain of
Bowdoin and fierce and hardy player.
Howard Ives of Bowdoin, '99, and Ted
Stanwood, the famous punter and
Sprinting half back on BoWdoin a few
years ago. In the line the material will
be fully as strong. For center they
have picked Hugh Leighton of Will
liams, 1902, Dyer of Brown, 49, is named
for right guard and Charles Carter Of
Auburn for left. Carter is the famous
5-pound University of Michigan
guard in the team of 1902 that ran up
ga points against it's adversaries. For
tackles they name Deputy Sheriff John
Emery Who was once star-tackle and
captain of the Brown University team
ana one Sheehan who was the great
Brown University tackle but whose
first name seems to be unknown to
fame. On the ends they have abund-
ance of material, among whom they
mention Fogg of Bowdoin. 1902. Bob
Chapman of BoWdoin, 1900, Jack OCon-
nor, now coach of Rowdoin and former
" captain OF Dartmouth and finally the
great ''Dubsey" Farmer, last years
great Dartmouth end, whom Walter
Camp places on the All-America team.
All these men named are now in or
near Portland and on paper the team
looks like a world beaten. but it will
probably prove another thing to get it
together.

A Unique Proposition in Football.

| Let no man represent his college
| that is to say, play upon his college or
| university team-for more than one
year.
At first glance this will strike the
reader as revolutionary, which it is.
and absurd, which it is not. L have
| discussed it during the past year with
q number of college men young and
| old, including under graduates, who
have in many cases come to agree that
| it is not only feasible but eminently
proper If it were brought about-and
l am firmly persuaded that some day
| it will be-nothing but good would
| come from the change.
| The object of college athletics, I take
| it. is not to win games That is the end
! in view: but the accomplishment of it
| is incidental. When a large body of
youths and young men are assembled
for educational purposes, it is right
and proper that some effort CORE
spending to the mental stimulus that is
applied to them should be made to de-
velop them physically. Most of the
great colleges now have physical d-
rectors. who occupy honorable posi-
tons, and whose function is the look
ing after, so far as may be, the physi-
cal development of the students. Per-
haps as We become wiser, efforts in
this direction will become more per-
sistent and more systematized. Pos
sibly we shall have professors of physi-
cal culture who will be as scientific in
their views and methods and as neces-
sary to the proper constitution of the
college faculty, as professors of mathe-
MATES or of the languages
In athletics. football occupies a.
unique position. 1t is by far the most
popular sport which the American boy
enters upon, its only rival being base
hall. 1t is a difficult sport, and the
pursuit of it is attended by no little
danger. Sometimes it results in in
juries fatal to players. It is urged
against those who deprecate such al
game that the preparation for it af-
fords the very finest possible training.
and that more than that, it enioins a
mental and spiritual training as well.

NJ r teams will compete If the present

N. b., teams will compete IL the present
ARRANGEMENTS are carried out.
Dover and F'oxcroft will have another
first class basketball team this season.
Last season was the first during which
the towns were represented in this
game, but the boys got very proficient
in the various contests in which they
entered and the team ranked among
the best in the State. Last years team
was managed by j. C. McFaul and it
was largely through his efforts that the
game was introduced into these towns.
The first move towards organization
was made this week when a meeting
was called at the rooms of the Central
Cycle club and the following officers
elected: President, A. r. Peaks; man
ager, e. Il. Whitney; secretary. Frank
l.. Dyer; treasurer, c. l.. Runnells: au-
ditor, Walter Fl. Blethen; captain. Sid
ney A. McTaggart. 1t is understood
that all of last years men will be able
to play on this years team with the ex-
ception of Holt, who has gone to Phil
lips to reside. Dexter who has been in
Portland all summer, has returned and
will play on the team.

FOOTBALL AT CONY HIGH.
The Augusta School Has Good Rec
ord in the Game.

The Cony High school eleven is the
best which has represented the school
for wears and it is starting out to make
a good record for the season. 1t has
won it's first three games of the sea-
son with VaSsalboro, Brunswick high
and Maine Central Institute by the
scores of 6 to 0, 81 to O. and to 0. 1t
plays Rockland high at Rockland, to-
day. The Cony High school was the
first high school in Maine to take up
football, and when its first eleven was
organized in the fall of 1890 the Bow
dom College team was the only team
it had in the State to play against. The
game was in Augusta and resulted 80
to in favor of the collegians, but the
Cony boys We're not discouraged ana
the next fall they had rivals in the field
nearer their own strength.
That fall, 1891, they won the Maine
interschoIastic championship, the only
formidable rivals being the Brunswick
high boys That same fall they beat
the Colby college eleven IA to in the
first football game ever played by the
Colby boys with outsiders. The Cony
team that fall had players who after
ward played the game at Harvard, Cor
nell, Bowdoin, Colby and Georgetown
A picture of the eleven has since hung
on the walls of the school building.
Since then the football fortunes Of
the school have varied, but usually its
team has been rather light in COMPARE
son with most of the school teams OF
the State. The only Cony boys now
playing on college football squads are
