First Big Meet of the Kind That Has
Ever Been Held Is Planned for
the Exposition In August.

SEATTLE, July ia lacrosse
tournament for the championship of
the world, to take place at the stad-
ium of the Alaska Yukon-P Pacific eX-
position sometime in August, is being
planned by Major VIM. M. Inglis, di-
rector of athletics at the fair.
This will be the first large lacrosse
match ever contested in the western
part of the United States lacrosse 81
essentially a Canadian sport and the
large games have always been played
across the border line.
After some correspondence, Major
Inglis is in receipt of letters from the
manager of the New Westminster
team, champions of the world, and
from the manager of the Calgary team,
champions of Alberta. These teams
are all anxious to play and only wait
satisfactory arrangements ito agree to
come.
There are a number of Oth6r strong
teams in western Canada and all of
these are anxious to meet the cham
piOnship teams.
The games will be played on the
regular stadium field of the exposi-
ton This field was made for base
ball and football field but with slight
alteration it will do as we'll for la
crosse. There is the small matter of
installing the goals and changing the
lines, and that is all that is cessary.

Which do you think won7

Not long ago two men, athletes, went
into contest to see which could stand
erect and hold his arms stretched out
full length at either side of his body for
the longer time. One man had fed on
steaks and chops, sausage, ham, roast
beef, etc; the other ate heartily, but con-
fined himself to such foods as Quaker
Oats. rice. macaroni, etc. Which do you
think held out longer?
The first man lasted twenty-five min
utes. The Quaker Oats-macaroni-rice
chap concluded to stop after he bad been
at it more than three hours.
There's more strength and economy in
eating lots of Quaker Oats than most
people imagine.
Every family should eat plentifully of
Quaker Oats at least once every day;
breakfast is the best time. 1t strengthens
you for the day.

CUT OUT
BY COWBOYS CAR

cello was the official timer and ref
cree, enforcing the same rules as gov
d~n contests in the rOp2ng of steers
from horseback. The steer was given
a 50-foot start of the car and had to
be roped and three legs tied, where
upon the competing cowboy would
throw up his hands as a signal that
the feat was completed. The time was
then taken and the PROSTATE animal
inspected to make sure that THE tying
was perfect.
Moss in making the record drove
the motor-car toward the animal
which he proposed to lasso until he
was within throwing distance, stopped
the car and applied the brakes so as
to brace the automobile against the
stra'ning of the steer, and then make
the throw.
The rope fell true, the STARTLED steer
was thrown to the ground, and in an
instant Moss was by it's side, complet-
ing the tying. When his hands went
up to mark the finish the timer, seated
on a horse nearby, announced the time
of "a IL seconds as a. record for any
husky cowboy anywhere I'm the west
to get out and break if he thought he
was speedy in the handling of both
an automobile and a lariat.

MOTOR BOATS TAKE
PLACE OF YACHTS
Indications Are That in Ea,. va
Racing Will Be Done by Power
Craft Instead ,of Sail
Boats.

SEATTLE, July 15.-Evidences of
the widening influence of the motor
boat on the older and more conserva-
tive forms of yachting are seen this
year in Lloyd's 1909 Yacht Register
The new volume contains particulars of
1856 yachts, distributed over the wa
tiers of the United States. Canada and
the West Indies, with a list of the
names, addresses and clubs of the 5000
owners of these vessels. No fixed limit
size is followed, but such small yachts
as are OF more than local interest, the
open launches which defend the British
international trophy and the American
Power Boat association gold cup, and
the small sloops of the Sender class,
with other notable small yachts are
included.
The full particulars Of Alp yacht
clubs are twenty-five yachting asso-
Citations are given, with the burgess
in colors of 404 Of these organizations
A special feature is the collection of
private signals Of yacht owners, in
Guiding thirty plates with 1921 flags
The list is marked by the absence of
many famous old yachts, notably those
of the Burgess era, Puritan, May
flower and many smaller craft, which
have disappeared from the Register
either through conversion to trading
use or through a total breaking up.
On the other hand, there is a marked
increase in the number of cruising
: launches of all sizes, from 80 feet up
to 100 feet, most of them of the new
raised deck type, which gives such
excellent room below, and all fitted
with gasoline engines.

cruiser races bring out twice as many
entries as the yacht regattas. Locally,
there is little actual construction of
yachts, even of the more comfortable
cruising class. Craft with motor power
particularly the gasoline engine, are
taking the place of sailing boats on
inland waters, just as the auto is TAX
ing the place of the horse
However, the future of both the
yachting and power boating industries
in this city looks promising.
