KAISER GIVES CUP FOR
INTERNATIONAL REGATTA

licher Yacht Club on the permanent COM
mittee. The Eastern Yacht Club will also
appoint three members on this committee
The arrangement of an international re-
gatta for next year between German and
American thirty-footers sailed in Ameri-
can waters and annual contests thereafter
held alternately in Germany and the
United States will be received with gen.
eral satisfaction. Three boats will sail on
each side, and the trophy, which will be
perpetual challenge cup offered by Kaiser
William, will be won by the country max
ing the better showing with it's three rep
resentatives. The annual event will be dn-
der the joint management of the Eastern
and kaisericher Yacht clubs.
1t has taken three years to bring about
the races. Negotiations were begun through
the State Department at Washington with
Emperor William shortly after the visit of
Prince Henry to this country in 1902. The
project met with the general appreciation
of the kaiser. but the difference in the rat
ing rules of the two countries was a serious
obstacle in the way of an agreement to
race The rating rules of Germany were
changed the following year. and now con-
form more closely to the main lines Of the
American rules. This spring the Eastern
Yacht Club was informed that the kaiser
was prepared to complete the details of he
contest, and II they would send a repre-
sentative abroad arrangements would be
entered into with them by the Kaisericher
Yacht Club of which Emperor William IS
the head.
Chairman Howard left for Germany
shortly after. and a series OF conferences
was held with the Kaiserlicher Yacht Club
committee. of which Rear Admiral Baran-
don of the German navy was chairman, and
Prof. Busley of the naval advisory board
and Herr Adolph Mueller, prominent ship
builder, were members. The arrangements
will be In their hands.
Emperor William in approving the
rangements said that he was anxious to
promote the friendly relations between the
yachtsmen Of the two countries and to
build up by this means Germany's mari
time interests.

Hints on Running

~ - . - = % =
1t has been the desire of many young men
upon entering college or school to excel in
some branch of athletics. One of the great
est runners of the day remarked that any
man may become a champion" That at
first may seem to be broad statement
but after listening to his arguments one
becomes convinced that the statement Is
true. First of all, one must build up his
body. 1t is not meant by this that 1t is
necessary to attain great, large muscles,
but to acquire that inner strength known
as endurance" which is attained by good
living and proper exercise. BY good living
is meant proper food, pure water and reg
ular habits. The greatest tonic to the mind
and body is sleep, and to make a successful
athlete it is necessary to retire early and
get at least nine hours OF good solid Sleep
The muscles should be kept in a soft
flexible condition. This is obtained by con-
tinually rubbing down" with oils or
liquids. of which there are several now used
by the most successful athletes. Duffy the
worlds champion and greatest Splinter ever
known uses cocoanut oil, while others use
witchhazel arnica and whisky alcohol.
After condition" 1t is a most necessary
adjunct to acquire the proper form or
correct style of running. Some trainers have
the idea that every runner should use the
same This is mistake. as the majority
of trainers hold that every man is made or
constituted differently, and therefore should
adopt a style peculiar to himself and one
from which the most successful results will
be gained. In other words, style from
which they can acquire the most speed with
the use of as little energy as possible
1t is doubtful II there were ever two
champions who used the same form, and
this is made plausible by comparing .he
forms of the two greatest sprinters, Wefers

ACCOMMODATES HAVE
EXCELLENT RECORD

The Bloomingdale Athletic Club closed
its sixth successful season yesterday by
defeating the Eagles. The victors have
defeated or tied every team in the District
of Columbia with which they have played
a series of three games. and their record
this season out of fifty-seven games played
is forty victories and thirteen defeats.
They also tied four games during the
year.
The management was successful in Sc
curing good dates out of town and the
club team played teams of Lanham, Alex
andria, Anacostia, Riverdale, Brookland,
Tenleytown and many other places.
In the Four-Eye League the Blooming
dales got bad start, but when the league
collapsed and was reorganized the team
struck its gait and won fifteen straight
games.
Buckley, one Of the best twirlers that ever
wore a Bloomingdale uniform, twice dur
ing the season has struck out seventeen
batsmen against the same club, the St.
Patrick's He also held that team to two
hits In nine-inning game.
Worley has the next best record in
pitching, that of making the only shutout

men in q nine-inning contest with the
Greenwich Athletic Club. He deserves
credit for landing his team at the top this
year.

cablegram from Kiel, Prussia says:
Henry Howard. chairman of the regatta
committee of the Eastern Yacht Club of
Boston. met Admirals Won Arnm, Thomson
and Won Rooster, Commander II. G. Heb
binghaus, naval attache Of the German en-
bassy at Washington. and other members
Of the Kaiserlcher Yacht Club. and dis
cussed with them the plan for perma-
nent challenge cup to be competed for by
American and German yachts under the
joint direction of the Eastern Yacht Club
and the Imperial Yacht Club.
Mr.. Meyer, the present American am
bassador at st. Petersburg. brought the
matter to the attention of Emperor VIII
liam couple of years ago when visiting
KEEL The emperor referred the project
to his advisers on yachting matters, who
thought well of the idea, but believed 1t
impracticable because of the differences be-
tween American and German rules Of
measurement and classification. The rules,
however. have been so changed since that
time that it was thought desirable to again
take up the suggestion.
The meeting approved a plan for races
between small yachts, % to 80 footers,
open to boats of all American or German
clubs. 1t was thought better to have the
competitions between small raters as to
interest persons of moderate fortunes as
well as Weather sportsmen, thus broaden
Ing the basis of international sport and
contributing to the generally friendly rela-
lions of the two countries
The first race will be sailed in the United
States and the succeeding ones will be fixed
by the country that has won the trophy,
and Will be run under the rules of measure
ment and classification of the challenging
club because, they will be racing IN
strange waters with boats designed by per-
sons unacquainted with the courses, 1t was
thought that they ought TO have the ad-
vantage of their own measurements so
far as slight differences were concerned.
The meeting appointed Rear Admiral
Barandon. Prof. Busley and Naval Con-
structor Mueller to represent the Kaiser

Found His Brother.

NEW YORK, September g.-Through
reading the base ball news in one of the
daily papers William ]. Thompson of Ro-
selle. N. J., discovered the whereabouts OF
his brother, Frank w. Thompson, from
whom he had been separated for twenty
years more.
Frank w. Thompson of No CSC Warren
street is the manager of the All-Brooklyn
Base Ball Club. His brother happened TO
run across the name In some base ball news
recently and determined TO see If the man
ager was the brother for whom he had been
looking so long. His hopes were rewarded,
1t seems that William Thompson father OF
the brothers, who was printer, was found
murdered in a hallway OF house in
Broome street Manhattan, in 1885. No
cew TO the murderer was ever found A
year later the mother died and the family
separated.

and Duffy. The former, a six-footer. runs
with his body almost erect, with very slight
arm motion. and brings his knees straight
UP in front, while Duffy, who is small of
stature, leans way forward and swings his
arms ferociously across his body and
strides straight out in front.
OF course to be successful Splinter
should learn to concentrate all his strength
into one final effort, especially in sprints,
as they are of short duration; but in middle
distance and long distance running per-
son should study carefully and adopt the
style which appears the easiest TO him and
at the same time enables him to cover
ground rapidly.
. In summing up, therefore. it appears that
to be a successful runner one should give
his training and condition the same careful
study as business man would to his pusl-
ness and then use that form alone without
endeayoring to initiate some great sprinter).
Thatis the most successful and which ena-
bles him to move rapidly over the ground
