STARTED
ON A LONG RACE
FINISH NOT LOOKED FOR UNTIL
THIS MORNING.

CHICAGO. July 29.-The 33O-mile cruise
OF the Chicago Yacht Club to Mackinac
and the eighth annual cruising race of the
Columbia Yacht Club to Macatawa began
this afternoon. The latter race is under
the auspices of the Macatawa Bay Yacht
Club.
Four power boats also started to MackI-
mac. Particular interest was taken in this
event. 1t was the first time boats of this
class had arranged to go such distance
on Lake Michigan, and it was considered
to be a fair test of their fitness for future
long distance races.
The motor boats We're the first to get
away. They left the Van Buren, street gap
at 1 pm. in the order named: Erin of
Chicago, 15-horse power; Marion. Chicago,
10-horse power; Dusty Sides of Detroit,
which made the trip from that city yester-
day and arrived in fine condition for the
cruise. The Dusty Sides is a 19-horse pow
er boat. Violet Louise of Chicago, scratch
boat. 2Q-horse power.
heavy sea was running when the boats
left and it was figured that unless it mod
Grated the boats would have an exceedingly
hard time reaching their destination in the
time expected, 80 to 81 hours.
Following the start in this race was the
Chicago Yacht Club event
The following started at ten-minute In
tervals: Yawls: Arcadia and Tannis.
Schooners: Mistral, Alice and Hawthorne
Shops: Minota, La Rita, Siren and Lady
Eileen, owned by Miss E. c. Wright and
sailed by her and Miss Sara Cary.
At the start it was beat TO windward,
a strong northeast breeze blowing at the
time, making conditions comparatively IA
vorable to the light boats. 1t was expected
that unless the wind changed it would take
twice as long to reach Mackinac as IL did
on a previous occasion.
In the race to Macatawa the following
started also at ten-minute intervals:
Cruisers: jeanette and Charlotte r. Sloops
80 feet and under; Gloria and 'Oyama.
Schooners and yawis under IS feet: Naiad
and Kayosh X. Schooners and yawls over
35 feet: Glad Tidings and Juanita. Shops
over 80 feet: Vencedore. Illinois, Neva and
Wizard.
Vencedore crossed the line first, the others
at from to 10 seconds.
Considerable interest attached to tho
races They are expected to finish at Ma
c5tawa early tomorrow morning

fact nearly every one who has heard of it
wants TO get In as a charter member
The intention is to start work on the
structure Immediately in order that the
members not only may have quarters for
their canoes this winter but may finish out
TINS season in their own home
IL has been charged that since the canoe
became so popular the rowing element of
the city has given the canoeists little at
tentlon and the establishment of a
canoeists club and home has thus become
the more necessary. Partly to meet this
condition OF affairs the Inter-Club Canoe
Association was organized In 1903 The
promoters were among the representative
canoeists on the river and belonged to diff
ferent rowing and boating clubs The OBJ
ject was the fostering of fraternal spirit
among the canoests regardless of club re-
iations. There was then no idea of a sepa-
rate club. Valuable privileges for its, mem
bers were obtained by the association, but
no thought of a house was entertained for
a moment. But the great increase of the
number of canoes on the river and the lack
of proper housing facilities. has at last
shown that separate house would be a
good thing.
For some time 1t was impossible to OBJ
tain convenient location, but recently
there has become available through the

appeared to precious poor advantage and,
failed to fill the BILL He lacked the first
great requisite of an umpire-the ability to
judge of balls and strikes properly: he was
way off on base decisions and finally he
came very near the line of the ridiculous.
If President Puliam were to take the trou-
BILE to interrogate the players on the abili-
ties OF his umpires he would very soon
find out whether they were capable of
proper fulfillment of their duties or not.
One thing the National League president
may as well understand first as last-you
can not possibly bolster an incompetent
umpire. The more you try to do so the
greater will be the task to prop him up.

w ANs are well under way for build
ing a home for local canoeists,
which shall have many of the fea-
II lures of the present boat houses
along the Potomac river, but which
shall be exclusively for the devotces
of the paddle. A meeting of canoe owners
interested in the organization of an associa-
ton for the purpose of building and MAIN
tanning such d house will be held next
Tuesday evening at 14l7 New York
avenue, when il is expected the plans
will take definite shape. BY the mid
die of September it is hOped TO have
an adequate home for the canoes
at a convenient place the District
shore of the river "A short distance above
Aqueduct bridge.
In the past year it is pointed out by the
promoters of the new club, the additions to
the ranks of local canoeists have been so
many and so rapid that every available
place for storage of boats has been occu-
pied. The Analostan and the Potomac boat
clubs have been crowded for months and
applicants for membership who desired ad-
mittance with canoes have, it is stated, had
to look elsewhere. Public boat houses,
where storage might be obtained for ca
noes are in the same condition. Some of
the owners of canoes have not had the good
fortune to find a roof of any kind for their
boats. Many have had to be content with
having them kept in open yards near the
iiNtI, with fio pIOtettloH from the elements.
Along the banks of the upper Potomac con-
ditlons are about the same. At High Is.
land there five or six canoes stored
along the bank, and double that number
are kept in this manner at Sycamore Is
land mile above.
Matters have reached such stage say
many local padders, that either something
must be done to give more storage space
for canoes, or newcomers will be forced to
stay away from the river altogether. 1t is
believed that in a home exclusively for
canoeists the problem will be solved.
few days ago meeting of some of the
leading paddlers of the city was held and
the matter was discussed with the view of
finding the remedy. AS result of this
meeting 1t has been decided to organize a
club at once and erect boat house, such
as has been described. It is believed that
the canoeists of Washington will in gen
eral welcome this project with delight In

IN the current number of the Saturday
Evening Post Allen Sangree presents
an interesting article on The Lonely
II Idol of the Tickle Fans" showing how
the professional ball player leads his
secluded life and why he mistrusts all the
world The article follows:
The professional base ball player leads
q lonely life. He invites no introduction
unless 1t be with some equally famous
athlete in his own line or another, notably
puEilism and racing. He may join fra
ternal order. but seldom attends the meet
ings. He ignores social amenities. He
never talks with a stranger and even SHES
from a newspaper man. unless pretty well
acquainted with him
In the first year of my occupation as
base ball reporter. ere | reached that dizzy
Pisgahs height when the captain permitted
me to sit on the bench during an exhibition
game-the only vantage point whence one
may truly learn how our national pastime
is played by PROFESSIONALS attributed this
singular exClusiveness to egotism. 1t has
taken three seasons of continuous associa-
ton with league teams to account for It
properly.
To begin with. one must keep IN mind
that out of eighty million people in this
r Pluribus Unum, there are but two hum
dred and fifty top notch opponents of the
game that you and | played youngsters
This Is impressive. considering the fact
that | don't know how many boys from
Maine to Honolulu are striving daily to
perfect themselves in the noble art of hit
ting and catching a base ball. The sport
itself is a primitive instinct-a mystery in
ethnology that do not attempt to explain
All l know is that in Zululand a couple of
years ago handed Il new base ball to a
young induna, or chief, and the first thing
he did was to play catch with 1t. After
that he threw it far as he could and
then proceeded to soak IT with his war
club. He felt the seams, hooked his fin
gers around 1t like McGinnity or Chesbro,
rubbed ii over his cheek, and finally offered
an ingenue from his harem in exchange.
Expensive Impulsiveness
Yes. there is a fascination about any sort
OF a ball. The chances are that the apple
Eve tripped on was nice and round, and all
the more keen was Adam to accept 1t. Then
we have that Greek maid. Atalanta who
could beat anybody around the bases in
her time Some say that she was struck
out on the three golden apples of Hes
perides. but from the way that have seen
women buzz at ball game it is safe to
be that the shifty Hippomenes pitched
some horsehide pellets-made of Pegasus.
Some time there may arrive literary Togo
who Will explain the psychological effect
which a ball eXerts over a monkey a kit
ten or a human being. Our point now is
that, with all this charm and world wide ap-
plicaton to the American national game,
there are barely enough good players to
supply two big leagues.
l mention this TO impress upon you that
the modern ball player Is a person of i'm
portance. not only IN national affairs but
in broader arena of human progress. We
are accustomed To estimate him as

1t was rather peculiar that just about the

the umpiring fell far short of what it ought
to be this year. This, despite the assertion
of the head of the league of the good work
that was going on. Tenney says the UNI

trouble with the umpires is caused by those
officials themselves, who make many Il bad

There are some people who could see in
the Canadian national game of la crosse-a
game of prehistoric origin-some relation
to hockey, but if SO it would require some
sort of a microscope to discover it. La
crosse has goals like hockey, but they are
erected, and the Ia crosse stick. though
shaped somewhat like a handy stick, is
partly filled in with a tight netting. The
game is played with a rubber ball, while
handy was always played with a hard wood

This was usually made by a wood carver
or turner. There is no kicking or struggling
