YANKEES BUY ABROAD
Several Rich Gothamites are Having
Yachts Built in Scotland.

Leith. Scotland, April ls.-Lelth ship
builders are busy with splendid OCEAN,
going steam yachts for New York
owners. This Scottish town has
earned fame in yachting circles for
her pleasure craft. What vas one OF
the first Of the occanguing yachts to be
driven by turbnea-the LOrcni OF
New York-was launched here.
This Year there will be among others
the new Wakiva. just off tho building
ship ANA now fitting out i'll Lcith dock.
She is for L. Y. Hardness and is
twin screw of nearly 1000 tons yacht
measurement. double the size of the
owners present Wlkivd. which was
built at Lcith four years ago.
\ truly fine vessel is the Wakiva
built to Lloyd's highest class. The
cabins include Il snuggery and there is
that modern Invention. an electric
laundry. Special attention is being
paid TO cold storage for The owner and
party will start Oh voyage round the
world a soon as the yacht is off the
filters hands. Quicktiring guns and
Searchiights are mounted. likewise
Lord kelvin's very newest patent. the
electrical sounding machine.
Mrs Harry Hardness came to Lcith
purposely to discuss the cabin furnish
ing. Just completed is the graceful
yacht Agawa. Her owner is c. W.
Hardness. This steam yacht is Of 100
tons. Very pretty she looked lying i'll
Lcith dock, taking in stores ana get
ting the finishing touches. There is a
long range of Lighthouses, with the
drawing room at aft end. The awning
deck extends the full width Of the ship
and for about two-thirds Of the length.
Certainly comfort is insured on the
Agawa. Last year { smaller yacht.
the O-we-ra. q boat of $50 tons. was
launched at Leith for American own
CrS.
There is everything in securing a
distinctive name. No greater confu-
sion can arise than when two yachts
have the same name. But Mortimer
Singer selected Maund as the name of
his BOSTON steam yacht which was
also launched last year at Leith
Every year adds to the cost of build

much for the hull, but electricity is be-

THE THREE MANAGERS
Of New York Big League Teams Each
Have Ways of Their Own.

The three great bal! teams repre-
seat'ng Greater New York, the Giants
the Highlan1ers and the Superbas. are
| manag ed by three of the greatest base
ball generals in the country. Yet the
three are entirely unlike in their
methods.
Patsy Donovan. of the Brooklyn. is
as smooth as silk. Every empire i'll the
National League likes Patsy, and the
BrooklEns don't lose anything through
the popularity of their manager. Dono-
VAN never says anything harsh. He is
always on the job, vet he seldom
makes holler" to an umpire.
When he does think it necessary
to object to a ruling he approaches
the official with Il friendly smile and
says: Excuse me. old man. but don't
you think you were a little mistaken
about that? l know you meant well,
of course, but l think your judgment
was little Off"
Then he retires with the smile still in
working order. An umpire can new
er reverse decision, of course, but
Donovdn's methods are so different
to those usually INDUCED in by play
crs with grievance that the umpire
- i-NiliiCI " SlNt ttdii tlit DtSl
Of the Eext close decision just to snow
his appreciation.
John McGraw is exactly the opposite
Of Donovan in his methods. McGraw is
one Of those scrappy fellows who can't
smile and keep still when he thinks he
is getting the worst of it. Mac waltZes
up with a string of strenuous remarks.
He doesn't hesitate. He Whoops out
silt is usually u scrap.
Donovan has never been ruled off the
field during his connection with the
Superbas. McGraw has seen scores of
games from the bench or even through
u knotholc. McGraw is honest in his
actions, but too outspoken to get
along even with an umpire.
Clark Griffith has an entirely differ
cnt style of placing kick. Clark walks
up close to the official and starts a til
Fade OF personal abuse in such a low
voice that no one but the victim can
hear word of it. Griff isn't out
spoken like McGraw, but he has a Won
derfui flow of language. He can sting
an umpire into d frenzy, but he does it
ill such way that the umpire can
hardly show a reason for sending him
off the field. Griff isn't bounced as
often as McGraw, but he is even less
popular among the poor maligned UNI
pireS.
