Rowing

Preparations are under full swing
for the big open regatta, to be held
Oct. & under the auspices of the Co.
lumbia Yacht club in honor of Sir
Thomas Upton. The Motel yachts
man, three times a CALAMITY defeated
challenger for the Americas cup and
donor of the handsome silver trophy
raced for on Lake Michigan each year
by twenty-One-fOOt sloops, has accept
ed the Columbia clubs invitation 10
visit Chicago, and the local tars are
planning a royal reception.
Eighty yachts have already been en-
tered, and it is hoped that by the ad-
dition of several more out-of-town
crafts this number will be swelled to
ninety. The owners of the boats have
one and all promised to keep their
the races, and If three fourths of the
yacht owners find 1t possible to keep
their promise the fleet that will as
semble here before the distinguished
visitor will be the greatest in the his
tory Of fresh water yachting.
The yachts have been divided into
fifteen classes, ranging from the dim
inutive one-design eighteen-footers to
the big seventy-foot schooners and
yawls. The boats will be sent away in
seven detachments With the whole
great fleet under way and the guest
boats and private steam and gasoline
yachts lining the course, the spectacle
will be something to open Sir Thomas
eyes. Such sight was never witness
ed in salt water. where fleets of twenty
or twenty-five yachts are the biggest
ever sent away in one event.
The social features planned by the
regatta and reception committees are
extensive. Invitations have been ex-
tended to 500 prominent yachtsmen of
the great lakes and tributaries to at
tend the festivities. and many have al
ready signified their intention to be
present The committee of fifty, ap-
pointed by Mayor Dunno, will take
charge Of Sir Thomas upon his arrival
and steer him safely through the dan
gers that beset the traveller in Chicago,
to the bosom of the welcoming yachts
men, where he will be entertained in
proper nautical fashion.
The piece de resistance in the way of
entertainment is to be the banquet at
the Chicago Athletic association on
the evening of Oct. 5. A special Dan
quet committee, headed by Alexander
Revell, has been appointed to take
charge of this event and it promises
to be the most elaborate affair of it's
kind ever given by Chicago athletic
organization. On this occasion Sir
Thomas will make his only public adj
dress during his visit

The high degree of intelligence pos
sessed by many celebrated thorough
breds is little short of marvellous. 4 ia
ed to the writer recently. Many of
charge during long career do almost
horses whose glorious careers are en-
blazOned on the history OF the turf
manifest the keenest spirit OF rivalry
during their races In a close finish
many OF them will grab ferociously
at the cOnQuerors, and the strongest
and cleverest jockeys have at times
the utmost difficulty in keeping the
animals straight and preventing them
from "savaging" their conqueror in u
desperate race.
Many aristocratic racers are gifted
with long memories. and the case OF
the late Lord Falmouth's Muley Edris
is a striking illustration OF this. That
celebrated jockey the late Fred Ar
cher, was extremely severe upon two
year-olds, which are. of course, mere
babies. Nevertheless. they have to
make an early start in the world to
Farm Onfs and Hay.
Occasionally, being entirely new to
the strenuous business of racing, they
do not know what is required of them
and run very green" In such cir
cumstances The Tinman," as Archer
was called, was extremely severe upon
the delinquents. He rode Muley
Edris in its first race. and as his
mount did not seem inclined to gallon
he gave it terrible thrashing with
his whip.
He did not see the animal again fol-
nearly year. until he went into the
paddock to ride it for the second time

the loss to him in earnings must have
been quite $4,000.

league pennant this year, won the flag
also in 1904.
Birmingham, Cleveland's new out

Dave Altizer of the Washington club

The Brooklyn team has won 9 of the

Giants this year, which is the best
showing in several seasons.
In a recent Boston, Philadelphia

Cans and Nelson. the chief actors in
the Gold6eld bout. have not been
heard from very much during the last
few days. Nothing has been done in
regard TO a return match at Goldield,
and matters stand as they were be-
fore. Cans is still raking in shekels

also true Of Nelson. who has been CIV

George Siler and Battling Nelson and

Immediately entered suit against Nolan
and Nelson for defamation of char

for alleged slanderous remarks at
tributed 10 the fighter and his mana
ger. Should the case so to trial it will
no doubt be watched with interest the
country over. as suit based on any
thing that originated in the ring is
a rarity. Siler says Nolan must now
prove his assertions.
In the meantime kid" Herman is on
the trail of both Nelson and Cans.
Manager Nate Lewis of the ghetto
champion thinks that his man is now
the logical opponent OF Cans, but ii the
colorei man refuses to meet him he
thinks Nelson certainly can't very we'll

most deformity. Sheppard's face
is an interesting thing to watch dur
a race. He has high cheek bones, deep
cavermous eyes and prominent Jaw
When he is eXerting himself and his
breathing becomes difficult his face
takes on the expression of a wolf
Hislips tighten and draw back. show
ing his teeth in snarl. for all the
world like that of gaunt, gray timber
wolf. Sheppard, though having per-
feet form in accordance with his phys
ical makeup, could hardly be called a
graceful runner.
Harvey Cohn is the exact opposite
His stride is the poetry of motion. He
swings along over the track SEEM
ingly without any effort whatever.
In fact. it seems as if he were wing
ed Mercury and the wind were sweep
ing him along. Except toward the
finish of particularly hard race,
Coin does not seem to be exerting
himself at all. When he is running
alone it is hard to tell whether he is
running fast or not. His style is per-.
feet and he is the most graceful rum
ner that ever donned spiked shoe.
Sullivan's and Bonhag's style of
running is hat way between Shep-
pards and COINS. They run both
powerfully and gracefully. Yet nei-
Their of them has the power in his
stride that Sheppard has nor the grace
and ease that belong to Cohn. Billy
Frank is the most awkward of run
ners. He runs flat-footed and his
tride is laborious in the extreme. He
is plugger and depends on "get-
ting there" through natural stamina
and bulldog pertinacity.
1t is interesting to note the records
that have been made and unmade of
late. Sheridan. Flanagan and HOrgan,
the three giants of the seven-foot
circle, have been playing havoc with
the weight standards only to have the
fruits of their proves made null by
the carelessness of game officials and
promoters, who neglected to see that
the implements were up to the A. A.
U. standard in weight and require
ments. 1t is too bad that such things
should be allowed to happen.
II is hard on an athlete who per-
haps after months of special prepar-
ton makes the effort to his life and
smashes record to be deprived of
his hard earned honors by lack of
foresight on the part of the games
committees. Such conditions would
not occur if the A. A. U. rulings re-
quired that the discus, hammer, shot,
or whatever 1t might be. should be
officially weighed prior to the COM
petition. 1t would be an easy thing
to do this and would prevent all the
trouble and friction that has arisen
about such occurrences.
