Two features are dominant In
the 1912 yachting season. One is
the continued increase of power
craft; the other is the chaotic
condition of the racing rules for
them.
1t is fact that so per cent of
the yachts registered in the Unit
ed States and Canada are in the
power division. In the uncertain
ty regarding the handicapping
system to prevail when power
boats race, lies the problem which
much be wisely solved IL the sport
is to assume the place to which
1t is entitled.
Chicago continues to specialize
in sailing. The annual long dis
lance race is national classic,
and the Is and FL footers COM
mand absorbing interest. The
international race between class
P boats this year will be held
off Chicago.
On Lake Erie, at Put-in-Bay,
yachts from many lake cities meet
and increase in number every
year. On the Pacific coast
yachtsmen specialize in the an
nual jaunt to Farallones and oc-
casional threshes to Hawaii.
Staunch sea-going wind-jammers
are the rule. and the slim-waisted
flyers of the lakes are unknown.

Yordy Going After Scalp
Of Bonds; Bout to Be Fast

II determination to win and a
full hearted meaning to smash a
popular boxer mean anything
with Art Yordy. Joe Bonds will
have to look to his laurels Tues
day night in their eight round
boxing exhibition before the Ia
coma Athletic club. Yordy is
very confident and is going after
Joe's scalp from the first tap of
the gong, expecting to render a
sleeper in the earlier stages OF
the game.
Bonds, in the meantime, is do
ing some real training out at his
Sumner summer camp between
picking crates of berries and will
be the picture of condition. He Is
just as determined that Yordy
shall prove another rung In the
ladder which he is climbing TO
boxing fame. The fans may roll

Jack Riley will make Eddie

Ty Cobb is the greatest of
them all.
In my baseball experience,
covering almost a quarter of a
century, / have never seen an all
around player the equal of the
Detroit star.
There may be other players
almost is not quite so fast as
Cobb. Lajoie has IL on the "Geor-
gia Peach" fos straight-away hit
ting; other outfielders may throw
a trifle better, but for work, day
in and day out, Cobb hasn't an
equal.
At bat he hasn't a weakness.
IL has been my experience that
you can fool him. possibly. one
day, on a certain kind of ball and
the next time you face him he
will whale the cover off the ball.
On the bases he Is wonderful.
He uses both his head and his
feet, and ] sometimes wonder IL
the former isn't more RESPONSE
BILE for his success than the lat
ter.
Cobb can size up baseball
situation like flash and the way
he diyines plays is uncanny. On
the paths he doesn't know the
word fear and this lack of tfmid-
fty helps him.
In the field. too. he Is a won
der. He uses splendid judgment
in playing for batters and HIS
marvellous speed enables him to
retire batters on balls that others
would play Safe.

BEES DOPE

1t sounds nice to hear Yordy
tell how he is going to chase
Bonds through the ropes but the
way he will fail will make a
pleasing spectacle. Joe will
prove to be fast traveller and
surprise Yordy Tuesday night. In
fact he will give Yordy the sur
prise of his life.
1t Is about time Joe Hill and
George Smith settled the question
of supremacy. Get busy, kids.
If Gloomy Grainey could box
as we'll as he drives an auto the
world might have another cham
pion. We said might.
Watkins put over good one on
Bob Brown and it Is too late FOR
Brown to crawfish.
That new lineup of the team
which will be seen here Sunday
will probably draw a good sized
crowd of fans. 1t looks like a
lineup that will either bring
home the bacon or pull down
second place now that the NAL
contents have been discarded.
Pete Morse packed his grip and
hiked for Spokane last night aft
err getting his release. Joe Coin
has been sweet on Morse for
some time and it is expected Pete
will have no trouble signing up.
Mike Lynch had big husky
catcher from the semi-pro out
warming up. Dick Crittenden had
better look to his knitting or he
will be seeking job.
Persons, the new left fielder,
not only hits we'll but can steal
bases with any in the league. Big
Myers has a hot competitor now.
Holdeman Is developing on first
base rapidly. He uses his head
and Is quick on his feet.
McMullin was probably cut
from the original shortstop pat
tern. He has been playing a
great game.
Bee says h is not going to try
and break any more worlds rec
ords in the pole vault. It is too
strenuous a game.
