NEW MISSION FOR SPORTS.

From Homburg and the Gordon
Bennett international automobile cup
race where he and the empress were
interested spectators of the 1904 re-
neWal of the event, to Cuxhaven and
the KEEL regatta, was but a step, tigur1
atively, for Emperor William. The re-
gatta has always been more or less
pet hobby Of the kaiser, and by his
participation and the presentation Of
several Of the more costly and most de-
sirable prizes, he has done much to
give the week at Kiel the Importance
tit now possesses in the yachting
world. In the automobile races at
Kiel that We're of international inn
portance, the influence of the emper-
or was very much in evidence. Most
interest. however, attaches itself to
the remarks made by the kaiser at the
banquet on the Deutschland at Cux-
haven, preceding the opening of the
regatta The Importance that inter-
national contests in every sphere of
craftsmanship have in strengthening
the feeling of cordiality between tie
competing nations is very great, and
Emperor William took cognizance of
this In his speech. Referring to the
advance made by the sport of yacht
ing and also to the advance made to-
ward greater solidarity among the
people of civilized countries, the en-
peror said:
This solidarity may be nourished
by various means-by congresses, by
serious political discussion or by COM
petition in sports. In this latter con-
nection it may well be said that there
is deep wisdom in childish play. We
have assembled here to test out
strength in brains. crews and boats
in the sport of the waves In few
days there will be assembled here
nearly all the flags of the civilized
world Alongside our colors will
wave the Star Spangled Banner, the
British flag and the tricolor, united in
peaceful rivalry. / certainly believe
that there is none among you who
does not share the opinion that during
Kiel week solidarity will be fostered,
cultivated and more firmly welded"
The quality of sport that has been
in evidence at Kiel this year, both
from It's international character, di-
Versity and high class, surely has
done much to promote a certain feel
ing of cordially among the yachts
men, at least, of those countries that
We're represented there. The affair is
becoming each year of greater import
ance in the yachting, social and official
worlds. Illustrated Sporting News.

popular victory ever scored on an
eastern track. AS he turned into the

crowd began to cheer, and when vic

WRESTLING.
BIDS ARE COMING FOR
CONRAD-LAWSON GO

The match between Conrad of Oak
vile and Lawson Of Naugatuck Is sup
posed to be pulled off some time next
week, The date and the place have
not yet been chosen, but they viii be
on Saturday evening. On that night
the managers Of both men will meet at
the Democrat office to perfect all the
final arrangements. Bids will be
opened on that night and the best offer
accepted. Both the wrestlers are train
ing every day and night and each will
be in fine fettle when the 500 match
is pulled off. The manager of Conrad
feels confident that his man will win
and says that the Oakville club, which
is behind him, will back him for more
than 5000 on the night of the match or
before that time. The same confidence
exists down in NaugatJlck in the Law
son camp and it is certain more money
will be wagered on this wrestling
match than on any ever held in New
England. There will be a couple OF
prelimfnaries before the main match.
Where the match will be held is as
yet unknown, IT Waterbury had q
hall this would be the ideal place. as it
lies between the two towns. OalSvllle
undoubtedly will make a bid for the
match, and no doubt Naugatuek will
do the same. Whatver club gets it
will see one of the best matches ever
pulled off in this state. Both towns
are hot and the rivalry has become so
intense that hundreds will be on hand
to take in the contest.

Philadelphia, July IA big shake
up will take place among the officials
of the Washington base ball club in the
next few days. Mr. Lambert, the pres

Dwyer, the business manager, are to
go. Their successors are not yet
known, but 1T Is thought that Ban
Johnsons visit to Philadelphia and
Washington was made with the pur-
pose OF securing capital to take the
stock of the club off their hands, Dave
Fliltz, the star fielder of the New York
Americans is slated to so to Washing
ton. He will be given outright, and
will receive the same salary there that
he draws now with the Yankees.
