HERREsHoFF A WIZARD.
Sir Thomas Upton Acknowledges
That Reliance Is Best Boat.


That Reliance Is Best Boat.
SANDY look, N. J., Aug. 90
when England shall have produced a
Herreshoff will again challenge for
the Americas cup and not before.
American brains and American devel-
opment in yacht building have Eng
land beaten, and it is fit and right that
the cup should remain here to crown
your glorious achievement
Thus spoke Sir Thomas Upton as he
stood on the deck Of the Erin and
watched his Fife challenger, Shamrock
Ill, riding out the storm which swept
the Horseshoe. 1t was the first time
the Irish baronet had spoken freely on
the subject since the cup races began,
and there was a note of pathetic sad
ness in his voice. Continuing, he said:
cit is not pleasant to say, but it is an
honest truth, the brains in yacht build
ing are in America You have wizard
in Herreshoff. He is as wonderful as
his work. Who can fail to call him the
prince of yacht designers? His PROV
ess is beyond question. His great work
has been before our eyes, and none can
I. She has proved herself far and
away the best boat and won upon the
strictest merit.
while HerreshGf is in America it
would be impossible for me to chal-
lenge for the cup with any hope of
success. I see and know that as clear
ly as [ ever saw and knew a thing in
my life.
II will tell you frankly that am
most thoroughly disappointed man.
Sir Thomas was asked why it was
the Shamrock III. was not given more
sail area. He replied that he trusted
everything regarding construction and
design to the best of England's talent.
He complimented Captain Barr and
said that he had no fault to find with
the way in which the Shamrock had
been handled.
81 hope" he said, chat we will get
good twenty-five knot breeze and q
heavy sea today. Then we will have
had all the chances ON the calendar to
try out the Shamrock's qualities

COR!BEgnTes RIB BENT.
Knew He Was Defeated in the Second
Round in Jeffries Fight.

Round in Jeffr1eS Fight
.sJim" Corbett declares that he in
tends to keep himself in the same
sufberb condition he is now in and adj
mits there is possibility of his again
appearing in the ring. He says,
cannot either say that I will never
fight again or that will fight again.
am fellow who's always looking for
opportunities, and if chance came up
that appealed to me, why, might get
into the ring again. My fifteen months
of training have done me a lot of good.
and at this moment I am in better
shape than ever was in my life-bet-
ter than I was when champion. don't
intend to loose my condition and Will
keep up my exercises every day.
: esAs far as the Frisco fight goes, I
will say that the public does not real
ize what great fighter Jeffries really
is 7 do, and have fought all the
great men. He is the best man that
ever lived. IN each hand he carries a
tremendous punch, while it is almost
impossible to hurt him, and he has
increased in speed whole lot. Still /
had him tired toward the end of the
fight, but was in such pain from the
punch he gave me in the second round
that I could not do him enough dam
age.
''It was really the second round
punch that beat,me. 1t was an upper
curt and caught me just under the short
rib on the right side. When I felt the
pain of it lasting through the next
round I knew was beaten.
fsThe knockout punch was not in the
same place, but just below the breast
bone It was a fierce one, but the pain
of it went away while that of the sec
ond round punch stayed, and I can feel
it yet The doctor thinks the rib was
bent little, but there is no permanent
injury. For three nights after the fight
I was so sore could not lie down with
it, but had to sit UP. In the seventh
and eighth rounds my brother and Ry-
an thought | was winning, but knew
better. The bent rib was bothering me
too much and I had to fight on my
nerve"

REILLY RETAINS COUNSEL.
To Begin Suit for That New Haven
Story.


Attorney B. M. Holden of D'Esopo
e Holden of Hartford says that he
has been retained by Manager Thomas
L. Reilly of the Hartford baseball club
to bring suit against the Connecticut
branch of the Associated Press, which
he claims accepted and distributed
1ibelous report concerning him from
New Haven correspondent.
The report alleged that Mr. Reilly
struck boy with stone for getting
in the way of the players, and that the
parents of the boy were intending to
sue the manager. Mr. Reilly says the
statement was false and has injured
his standing as a baseball manager in
The eyes of the public.
The lawyer said investigation is be-
zig made to determine the extent Of
the publicity given the alleged libelous
articles against his client and when
concluded papers in the case will be
drawn. Counsel admits that he will
have considerable work in arriving at
conclusions regarding the extent of the
publicity on which to base claim for
DANA ges.
Mr. Reilly laughed yesterday when
asked if he had been Served with a
sarrant during his visit to New Ha-
zen.

ON THE MAT.
Dan Mcleod Wins a Match from Tom
Jenkins.

Jenkins.
Hamilton, Ont, Aug 29.-Dan Nc
Leod met his old rival, Tom Jenkins on
the mat in Hamilton last night and
bested the big Cleve1ander in handl-
cap match. Jenkins had agreed to
throw Mcleod twice in one hour OF
actual wrestling and as is always the
custom in such matches if Mcleod won
a fail within the hour he would be de-
clared the winner. 1t was hard
struggle for the first fifteen minutes
of the match and almost sixteen min
utes had elapsed when Jenkins secured
a half Nelson and leg hold and Mcleod
was forced to the mat. When they
came together for the second trial Nc
Leod went after Jenkins in his old
aggressive STYLE and never let up a
second. jenkins was kept busy ducking
and twisting out of all kinds of holds
until Mcleod secured a half Nelson
and crotch hold and Jenkins was sent
to the mat for fail in ten minutes and
sthirty-eight seconds, thus giving the
match to Mcleod
An interesting bout under catch-as7
catch-can style was decided at the
Young Mems Hebrew association, Bal
tinore. the other night The contest
ants were VIII Brown and the Philip
pine Wonder. The match WAS limit
ed to fifteen minutes. but in that time
both men did excellent work. At the
expiration of the time limit both men
were still up and doing and the result
was draw. Brown, who is feath-
erweight, is looked upon as a conner.
when Joe Carroll. the Lancashire
wrestler won the heavyweight catch
as-catch-can championship of England
two years ago, he received a belt
from the London Sporting Life enl~
blematic of the title When Carroll
came to this country to meet Tom
Jenkins he left the belt with a friend
in Batavia, N. z. for safe-keeping.
Carroll did not have successful trip
to America, and soon found himself in
hard straits. He registered at the
Central hotel in Batavia and ran up a
board bill OF $41.6O. Being unable to
pay, he gave the belt to Mrs Sarah J..
'Savten, proprietor of the hotel, as Sc
curity. The other day the belt was
sold at auction at Wood & Dunham's
law offices, Batavia, to satisfy the
claim and was bid in by Charles Tur-
ner, manager of the Central hotel This
was the only bid received and it is
said that Turner bought it for Jim
Parr, the English heavyweight wrest-
Ter, who is now in this country. The
belt is worth several hundred dollars.
Parr, it is said. will return it to Car
roll as a gift as soon as he returns to
England

are always prosperous. This is not

CITY POLITICS..

The members of the Republican committee
have had meeting to try to determine what 10
do in the city campaign, but they concluded
that they "could do othing until they heard
from headquarters at Topeka"
Several prominent Republicans have ex-
pressed themselves as opposed to partisan
ticket, saying that they believe the interests of
fhe city could best be served by men who may
be selected tor their qualifications rather than
for their "loyalty" to party.
We sincerely hope the advice of these Re-
publicans will be taken, and that there may be
no political fight. We are opposed to injecting
partisansm into our municipal affairs. We
can heartily support Republicans for city Offices
if they are fitted for those ofices-if they have
the best interests of the city at heart-provided
partisan politics does not enter into the cam
paign.
But, if the Republicans insist upon putting
up party ticket, we are IN favor of putting
up citizens ticket and making as stiff fight
as possible
We hope that wiser counsels will prevail,
and that the BEST MEN will be selected re-
CARELESS of party.

SOCIALISTS GAINING GROUND.

That the Socialists are gaining ground in the
Eastern states there is no doubt. This is es-
pecially true of Massachusetts, as will be seen
by the following dispatch from Boston,
BosroN, March Io.-Of great significance
were some of the annual town meetings in this
state last week, for they cannot fail to impress
students of political movements with the sus-
picion if not conviction, that new party IS
rapidly forging to the front. This party IS
that of the Socialists.
In every town in Massachusetts, where the
party made nominations for local offices, it
made remarkable showings In no town did 1t
fail to register a substantial gain over the vote
cast in November last at the state election, and
in two towns, it almost completely overthrow
the existing rulers and defeated combinations
of Republicans and Democrats into the bargain.
These two towns were Amesbury, where the
Socialists elected all three of the selectmen
and several other officers, and Stoughton, where
the new party elected the chairman OF the
board of seectmen and other officials.
While it is true that local issues helped the
Socialists in Amesbury and Stoughton, these
comparatively small measure, for the over
throw of the Republicau-Democratic fusons
the Socialists had to oppose, nor can local issues
in any degree whatever be made to explain the
gains of the party in all the other towns where
it made nominations. In tact in at least two
towns. the Socialists advocated local issues
that were distinct disadvantages to them, and
yet, they made great gains. The following
table shows the Socialist votes cast in the towns
named at the state elections of 1901 and 1902
and at the town meetings last week:
