KING WILLIAM INTERESTED.
It Is Possible He May Send Chal-
lenger for America Cup
IL 1909.

NEW YORK, October 19-Henry How
ard, chairman of the German-American
race committee of the Eastern Yacht
Club. who has recently returned from
Germany, where he had twenty-minute
informal yacht talk with the German
emperor. said the other day that while
the emperor showed wonderful familiarity
with American racing as a whole he was
not inclined to discuss the possibility Of
his challenging for the Americas cup
in 1909.
His majesty is, however,. said Mr..
Howard, intensely interested in the
sender class, which he believes is the
best type of small yacht for racing pur-
poses. and he looks upon the matches
that have been sailed at kiel and Marble
head as important means of bringing
about more cordial relations between the
people of the United States and those OF
Germany. In the coming match, he said,
he hoped that the American boats would
prove truly national team-one from
the west, one from the south and one
from the Atlantic coast"
. One good reason why the emperor would
not care to challenge for the America S
cup the coming season. Mr.. Howard said.
is that he is having built large schooner,
which ii is his ambition to make the
fastest schooner in Europe. She is from
designs by Max Oertz of Hamburg,
celebrated designer of sender class boats
who entered the field last season with
his first large racing schooner. the Ger
mania, which was built for Herr Krupp
Won Bohlen. She proved to be the fast
est schooner of the year in European
waters, thereby pleasing the emperor.
whose ambition is to see the Germans
turn out as fast large yachts as they
do small ones. The emperor's new
schooner will have German fittings. All
large German yachts hitherto have had
English or American fittings and sails.
SHOULD the new schooner prove a sue
cess said MIR. Howard. the emperor
may turn his attention to the America 5

Bellars Will Be Contender.

NEW YORK, October 19.-Fred Bellars
the great distance runner of the New
York A. c.. who smashed the Canadian
five-mile record at Montreal, will be a
strong contender for first place at the
national ten-mile run of the A. A. L..
November 4 at Celtic Park Bellars is
in better form now than at any other
time during the year. John Daily, the
1rish-American A. L. runner who is the
present ten-mile champion is also fast
rounding into shape. Driscou the Mer-
curry a. {. champion. who defeated Bel
lars in the thtee-mile race a few weeks
ago, will probably compete in this event.
but il is doubtful if he can defeat Bellars
at the longer distance John Eisele. who
ran the fastest three miles ever run by
an American at the Olympic games, will
very likely be on hand also.

that the number of spindles has in
creased more than ten million. or ~
per cent during the last five years and
there has been a corresponding develop

of cotton goods from the Lancashire dis

TICALLY NO FIGURE.
All the "Champs" Are Pretty Well

NEW YORK, October 19.-The 1908 golf
season was not a record-breaker SO 1ar
as developing youthful ''phcnoms. In
fact. 1t is quite evident that the past sea-
son has been unusually barren in this
particular, although tournament records
throughout the country show more boys
playing the game than ever before. In
the recent national championship at Gar
den City the younger element cut pracu-
cally no figure BY this it is not meant
to infer that the honors were carried off
by battle-scarred veterans. On the con-
trary. most Of the glory rewarded the
efforts of young men, but not boys.
A glance at the names of the four that
adorned the semi-final bracket-Max Behr
Fred Herreshoff, Jerome D. Travers and
Walter ]. Travis-fails to reveal anything
bordering on extreme youth. Behr grad

this remarkable golfer celebrated his
twenty-first birthday last May, which was
after he had gained the triple crown OF
national metropolitan and New Jersey
title-holder. 1t is. therefore. hardly fitting
to refer to Travers any longer as 1.-THE

The blush of youth has long since faded
from the cheek of Walter Travis In

Travis has been able in scores Of notable
encounters to more than offset the greater
brilliancy of his youthful opponents by
exercising rare judgment at critical

when even this great exponent of the

intention.
Because Albert Seckel. a western en-
trant, enjoyed the distinction of being
the youngest player in the recent cham

with more than passing interest, but
