National League shows a decrease Of
1900 Last year the Americans outdrew
the Nationals by 1885; this season the
Americans outdrew the Nationals by
more than 100000.

sion before the season was half over that
the Chicago Cubs were the best in the
National.

YACHTSMEN ARE DIVIDED.
Do Not Favor start from Boston In
Long Race.

New York, Oct 1S.-Yachtsmen here
abouts who took part n the ocean race
to Bermuda last June do not favor the
plan 10 begin the contest next year from
Boston instead Of New York. The change
was proposed TO lend variety to the race
and make It longer and more difficult,
but it is now feared that few New York
yachts would enter for such a long con
test that did not have one end in home
waters.
In addition 20 the fleet that went South
last year a class for large yachts of more
than 100 feet overall length viii be added.
The question of time allowance is now
under discussion. the protest being made
that the former time allowance was ex-
cessive- Thomas Fleming Day says how
ever, that the allowance is now not as
great as that in vogue in regular class
racing, and with the limit of classific8-
ton placed at twenty feet difference in
overall length, he sees no reason why
the same allowance should not prevail
for at least another race.
