Teneriffe, a distance Of about 600 miles,
which Columbus covered in six days.
All the yacht clubs of North and
South America will be invited to join
with the Spaniards, and it is possible
that European clubs may also be asked
to participate, but at present it is the
intention to confine the race to those
countries directly benefited by the dis
coveries Of Columbus.
The event and it's initiative with the
Royal Mediterranean Yacht Club of
Malaga, and it's suggestion to the au-
thoritieS of Palos that the race be start
ed from that port met a ready and cor
dial response. The city Of Huelva, just
across the bay from Palos, and the
principal port in southwestern Spain
north of Cadiz, will also join in the en-
terprise
Although the course, like that of the
New York-Bermuda contest last year,
is straightway, due southwest, the
yachts will have more favorable winds
and better weather than is usually ex-
perienced on this side of the Atlantic.
After getting clear of the land and
passing the Straits of Gibraltar. the
northeast trades are usually picked UP,
and from that time 1t will be broad,
off the wind affair. with no fogs, no
Gulf Stream to cross, but clear weather
and a wet sheet a flowing sea ana a
wind that follows fast.
The finish line will be in the harboS
of Santa Cruz, where there is an excel
lent anchorage, and where there is al
most sure to be a week or mora of en-
tertainments. The yachtsmen from TINS
side of the ocean can then hoist SAIL
and continue on across the Atlantic.

Leeman claims that at the time he was
struck the machine was going at rate

| He claims that the accident resulted

Is to be tested in this county. The

officers from cutting the hedge and in
this way bring the matter into the

Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. 1S.-That
"Rube" Waddell did not cost the st.
Louis Browns cent is the word con-
veyed to a sporting man to this city
by player on the Philadelphia team
The letter says that Connie Mack
was so disguised with Waddell that
he determined to get rid of him this
year, even If he had to give him
away.
Mack asked waivers from every
club in the league and promptly got
them from all except st. Louis. AS
the club refusing to waive claim
must take the player at the waive
price, $500, that is what "Rube'
cost the Browns, and all stories that
he cost $4,000 are being laughed at
by the knowing ones. However, in
his telegram telling McAleer that he
was welcome to Waddell, Mack said:
eff you take him 1 will forfeit the
waive claim"
