Two features are dominant in the
1912 yachting season. One is the con-
tinued increase of power craft; n
other is the chaotic condition of the
racing rules for them.
1t is a fact that so per cent. of the
yachts registered in the United States
and Canada are in the power d.
vision. In the uncertainty regarding
the handieapping system to prevail
when power boats race lies the prob
lem which must be wisely solved II
the sport is to assume the place TO
which it is entitled.
The American Power Boat Asso-
citation has a racing schedule bal
on horse power and construction,
which has been followed by eastern
ers as best they could.
In the Middle West yachtsmen are

While the A. p. B. AZ has again
drafted rating rules about as clear
as differential calculus, many West
ern associations, and some in the
East, will race upon the maximum
speed basis-the sanest standard.
Under its provisions boats are
classed according to their speed
over a measured mile. Boats OF 10
miles an hour meet similar speed.
Those which in a race exceed the
maximum speed limit shown by
their certificates by more than, five
per cent, are disqualified.
The next couple Of years will see
the adoption of this system with
some variation, perhaps, and the

WASHINGTON FANS SEE CHAMPIONSHIP AHEAD; SENATOR'S FINE
SHOWING BRINGS ON EPIDEMIC OF "PENNANIIIIS' in CAPITAL

WASHINGTON, d. c., July "a
An epidemic new to Washington has
swept i've the city. They call 1t
"pennantitis," and almost everyone
In the capital seems to be affected.
Never before in the history of the ma
tional game have the people OF this
town been SO worked up as they are
just now over the very remarkable
and surprising showing the Senators
have made during the present season.
When the team astonished the base
ball world by winning seventeen
straight games the Washington fans
about lost their heads. Then came a
slump and much depression. Now
the Senators have had another long
streak of good luck, and the hopes
of local fandom are again soaring.
There is every reason for figuring
Washington as a pennant possib1l-
ity," declares one of the wisest of the
Washington critics. ut may bring
sneers to those who are familiar with
Washington's baseball history to talk
of a local team and a pennant in the
same breath, but facts are facts, and
on what has been accomplished and
on what the future promises on form
there is no denying that. barring
Boston, which apparently has a com
Portable lead, no team has a better
chance to land at the top of the heap
than the Nationals.
1T is argued, and not without rea-
son, that a team which has pennant
aspirations must have a strong pitch
ing staff. Compare the Nationals
corps with that of any other team,
and it is hard to figure where Wash
ington has any the worst of it. John
son undoubtedly compares favorably
with the star pitcher of any one of
the other teams. On what he has
shown there Is no choice between
Groom and the second best man on
any of the rival a-ggregations. The
pitching records of the present sea-
son will come pretty near to proving
this contention. Take the rest of the
local staff and compare it with the
pitchers of opposing teams and 1t
will probably be concluded that Crit
fifth is as well fortified in this re-
spect as any of the others.
There are other teams which are
superior in the batting department
to the Nationals. yet there is enough
hitting strength and more speed than
several can boast of. As a fielding
aggregation there is no occasion for
worry. Shanks. Milan and Moeller
are a speedy trio in the outfield.
Gandil is by far the best first base
man in the league. Mcbride is con-
coded to have no superior Is a field
ing shortstop. Foster, easily the head
of the third basemen. and Morgan, a
youngster, fields more cleverlv every
day, and has shown a lot of form
with the stick"

TRACEY AND SHERMAN SHOULD PUT

should put up as grand an article
of boxing as anyone would care to
see. The patrons had one glimpse
of Tracey when he disposed of Mike
Malta, and were delighted with his
c~leverness. He showed all that he
had and proved to be a boy with
the cleverness of ar Attell. He is
built on the order of Attell and has
some of the former feather cham
pion's characteristics.
Sherman, his opponent, is a boy
who, though a featherweight, has
mixed it with the llghtweights and
oftentimes came away with a knock
out to his credit. The little fellow
has had good schooling and always
remembered what was taught him.

He has a powerful right and is fast
on his feet. OF the two, however,
Tracey is the faster, but he does not
possess the wallop that Sherman
does.
The extra attraction between Jack
Goode, the sparring partner of Billy
Lewis, and Knockout Johnson, of Or
ange. should be of interest on ac-
count of Its local flavor. These boys
wanted a star bout. but were induced
to go on as an added attraction by
the management. They have never
met in the ring, and on account of
the strong feeling ought to furnish
an interesting number.
The semi-final brings together Jack
Coyne, of Orange. and Battling
Jimmy, of Newark. The prcliminaries
are made up of Young Allen and
Young Cardell, Babe Johnson and
Young Mack and Young West and
Kid Roberts.

that he stands without a peer in the

Kline almost had Young Wagner cut
