HAS FAITH
 IN BURTON'S ABILITY

SIR THOMAS UPTON Is not letting F the grass grow under his feet now. He finally has arranged another series of races for the Americas cup and is determined to win the trophy if possi- bIe. He has secured the best designer in England, has two of the most expert sailing masters, Sycamore and Wringe. and now has induced W. P. Burton to take charge of his challenger. MT Burton is the most expert amateur who sails in British waters, and he has ac- cepted the invitation of Sir Thomas to take charge of the Shamrock ".
 Some idea of MT. Burton's success as a yachtsman is had from the fact that he had won 215 races before he had an opportunity to sail for the Kings cup, and then he won the first that he sailed for. He also had the distinction of winning the last cup offered by King Edward and the first offered by King George. Each season the British sov- ereign offers several trophies for yacht racing which are distributed through the Royal Yacht clubs These prizes are much sought after and are for yachts of the larger classes.
 MT. Burton commenced yachting in 1888 with the Violet and as a member of the Orwell Corinthian Yacht club owned and raced several half and one raters. For the last sixteen years he has been connected with bigger craft and during that time has owned Peni- tent, Gauntlet. Luciday Britomarte, Ostara and Octavia. In all he has sail ed about 1000 races and has won more than half of these
 The Penttent he purchased from the

late c. D. Rose in 1897 and in his first season won twelve first prizes out of sixteen starts. After sailing the Peni- tent successfully for five years he had the Gauntlet built from designs by A B. Payne. This boat was followed by the Lucida, a Fife creation, and in this yacht he won forty-tWo prizes in two seasons. The Britomarte, designed by Mylne was his next vessel, and in this yacht in four seasons he won ninety seven prizes in no races. One prize was the International cup, presented by the commodore of the Royal Lon don Yacht club. In 1909 Nfylne built the Ostara for Mr- Burton, and this yacht was the biggest winner of all his feet In a very strong class MT. Bur ton secured seventy-t three prizes in-1oo starts in two years. He successfully defended the International cup. In 1911 MT. Burton entered the nineteen meter class with the Octavia, another Mylne yacht, and he showed that an amateur could hold his own against the best professional talent. In that season he finished the head of his class with a record of thirty-one prizes in fifty six starts. Last year he repeated his suc- cess with twenty-one prizes in thirty four starts.
 MT. Burton is rear commodore of the Royal Harwich Yacht club and by vir- tue of that position is an honorary member of the New York Yacht club. He is also a member of the Royal Ui- ster Yacht club, which Is the challeng- ing club for the cup. and eleven other yachting organizations.

Harvard Leads In Years College Athletics

Out of sixteen possible ath- Cambridge won four outright and di- v4ded hcnors for the fifth Harvard tr9umphed in football, cross country running hockey and association foot ball. in addition to dividing the la orosse title with Johns Hopkins Since Johns Hopkins declined the Harvard challenge to play off the tie for the la crosse title this might reasonably be awarded to Harvard, but when the Harvard challenge reached Baltimore the southern team had disbapded and was under no obligation to play off the tia.
 The University of Pennsvlvania scored first in three charnpionships and therefore ranks second to liar, yard, with Yale, Cornell and Princeton tied with two championships each For purposes Of computation each championship is regarded as a single point, which would make the score of the eight universities figuring as fol- lows: Harvard.

se Baseball Leads .

TNRERE Is no question in the minds of
 students of outdoor sport that base ball is the king of all games played with a ball, and gradually that is becoming an established fact in the mind of the public. Once upon a time cricket, hockey, polo and lacrosse attempted to contest the question of interest, merit and superiority with baseball, but each was busted from consideration until only football remained in the lists
 Comes now Manager-Player Bir- rningham of the Cleve1eand team. once a star football player at Cornell. with the positive statement:
 Baseball requires quicker thinking and action than football. There is a crisis to meet in each of the sports and at a certain moment in the game If one man on the football team fails to produce there is a chance that some of his teammates will back him up and push him through, but in baseball the crisis hangs on the one man, and he is the only one who holds the game in his hands. He must make good or the game is done"
 In this statement Manager Bir1ning- ham touches, perhaps unconsciously, upon the one vital point of difference between two great games-namely, the individual factor In football team work is everything, and the individual is completely subordinated, whereas in baseball team work and individual work combine so slxillfully that the in dividua1 may shine without detriment to the team work. This makes for an open game in which the average spec tator loses nothing, which never goes beyond his comprehension and which enables him to be loyal to a team and at the same time indulge his inherent disposition to hero worship.

CHANCE AS A HUMORIsT

ENRArK CHANGE, manager of the
 New York Yankees, has turned hu- morist. The peerless leader evidently thinks he might as well get some fun out of life. He can't get very much joy out of the diamond when the Kan- kees are playing. Not long ago he was quoted as saying, T always knew there were a lot of boneheads in baseball. but how did they all get on my cIub2T
 Another time, when Stump pulled O bonehead play and when Chance ask ed him about it. he replied bo thought" so and SO Let me tell you something,'' replied Chance; ''any time you think you are going to do some thing just think backward and you wiu have it right.'

? been weak and it's base runnine weak CT yet. Air tight pitching has done the trick. but Manager Griffith feels sure that the boys will start hitting soon. tw1rIing being shown day after day, will enable the Climbers to live up to their name and be ready to take ad- vantage of the slightest weakening of the Athletics.
 Counts Only Athletics to Beat.
 T have but one team to beat this season-Philadelphi says the 'Old Fox q don't figure Cleveland worth bothering about. They're done; that's all. Chicago may show surprising strength. largely because of good pitching and the presence of Hal Chase in the lineup, but Philadelphia is our real opponent if we are to cop the flag this year. sf
 We are looking ahead, not behind. We don't care what becomes of the

 teams behind us; we're watching Phila- deIphia. Let me get within striking distance of first place and then watch Walter Johnson. What do you sup pose I'm saving him much for? He's going to be ready for the pinch. No team in the country, not even the hard hitting Athletics, can beat him more than once in a series. He can pitch three out of four games when the time comes. He's my ace in the hole"
