have the umpire fail to see It."

cans entering the Sender class races at
Mel next June, as through Vice-Ad-
miral Baronden the Imperial Yacht
Cub. OF which Emperor William Is
Commodore. has Just sent out a cir
cular asking prospective German en-
trants to forego any protest OF Amerl-
can entrants on account Of slight IN
Judgements IN complying with the
rules. The racing rules say that the
hulls OF competing yachts must be built
OF mahogany or cedar. the latter term
as used in Europe meaning heavier red
cedar. They also bar the use Of hollow

KING GEORGE AN ATHLETE
His Majesty Has Practiced Most
Forms of Manly Exercise and
Especially Likes Shooting.

The kings reception at Buckingham
palace recently of the team of polo
players who are to represent England
In the United States, recalls the fact
that his majesty played regularly
when he was a naval lieutenant. He
was good player. too. and could hold
his own with some of the best repre-
sentatives of the two services. Almost
every form of manly exercise has been
practiced by his majesty, and there
Is not the slightest doubt that every
kind of sport will benefit enormously
during his reign.
Shooting, of course, holds the warm
est place In his majesty's affections
81 love a gum" he confessed recently,
'but | am almost as happy when ]
am fishing the pools of Dee with a
long day before me-"
Next to shooting and fishing, King
Georges warmest admiration is re-
served for the Rugby code of football.
Not long ago he expressed the opinion
that Rugby was the ideal game for all
ranks of the army and navy, as 1t kept
the men "fit," taught them to realize
the virtues OF self-discipline, and to
withstand hard knocks.
Then. again, his majesty Is CAPT.
tai swimmer, and has actually saved
life from drowning. This interesting
event took place when, as youth. he
went around the world with his broth
er In the Bacchante. A bluejacket
fell overheard and King George went
In after him and held him up until as
sistance arrived.
In the boom" period of cycling, his
majesty was often seen a-wheel; while
cricket, of course, he has constantly
played and continues to follow with
the interest of keen observer.
