Who's Bob EmmOnS?
Well, Sir Thomas
Better Watch Ont
By Harry G. Thomas.

~ OSTON, Sept. 20.-The selection
X of Robert w. Emmons, I'd, as
the managing director of the
New York syndicate to handle the
new cup boat to be built for the trial
races by Herreshoff is pleasing news
to Boston and New England yachts
men. This syndicate is headed by
Cornelius Vanderbilt
Bob" Emmons, as Mr.. Emmons is
Familiarity known, is a broker on
State street, of the firm of Schirmer
Chaplin & Emmons, and is one of the
most popular men who has ever han
died a tiller rope.
Emmons has been sailing boats
since he was knee high, and he is a
good one. Even the late Charlie
Barr, who put across the line more
cup winners than any other man, ad-
mitted many times that when man
sailed against Bob Emmons 1t made
no difference whether he was a pro-
fessional or amateur skipper; he had
a fight on his hands until his boat
got the gun.
Emmons Had Avenger Built.
1t was Emmons who had the big 10
footer Avenger built to race in a
specified class in the New York Club
races some dozen years ago. The
boat didn't fit the class after II had
been launched, but Emmons took 1t
out, and with some allowance he
cleaned up the feet, took the King s
cup and a few other choice trophies
from the staid old New York Clubs
lockers, and then sold the Avenger
to New York parties.
This boat is so good to-day that II
came along with the New York Clubs
fleet this year and made a good clean
up.
Emmons this year sailed success
fully Harry Payne Whitney's new 90
footer Barbara and raced all season
with nine other boats of this type,
including young Junius S. Morgan's
Grayling. 1t has been great racing
all season, with Emmons well up in
the winnings.
He Raced the BibeIot.
He took the sender boat Bibelot,
built by Herreshoff, and one of the
first of this famous designers. and
won with it four years ago. This boat
was finally selected to go to Germany
after the Prince Henry gold cup, with
two other Massachusetts sonders, and
it won. He made such race of this
German yachtsmen and their later de-
signs were patterned after this boat
Mr.. Emmons served on the German
and American Race Committee dur
ing the sender boat races at Marble
head last week
Clean-cut sportsman that he is, he
is out after all the cups and trophies
that are offered for any race that he
goes into and with Emmons in the
race handling the long tiller or the
wheel, it always makes a yacht race.
He is and always has been an all
round athlete. While at Harvard he
was one Of the best football ends
ever over at Cambridge and was also
a crack tennis and ball player
He is member of the Eastern
Yacht Club of Boston and the New
York Yacht Club. He will have much
to do with the plans Of the new cup
boat that will try for the honor of de-
Tending the American Cup from Sir
Thomas Upton

Will Giants Again
Break Under Severe
World Series Strain?

NEW YORK. Sept. 2o.-Now that It
is a certainty that the Giants will
represent the National League in the
coming worlds series, the fans are
wondering If McGraw's men are going
to repeat their heart breaking per-
formances Of last year by crumpling
up at every critical period Of the play.
This uncertainty is doubtless one
Of the things which make the national
''pest-time" the absorbing thing that
it is.
The two men in the Giants camp
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-09-21

sfbility for last years upsets are Fred
MerlSle, first baseman, and Fred
Snodgra IS, one of the best outfield-
ers in the gaVne. 1t will be remem-
bered that the latter muffed a fly
ball during one of the games in Bos-
ton, which let IN the deciding runs
for the Red Sox. In the same game,
Merkle failed to go after a pop foul
by Speaker. This lapse cost the
Giants the game.
The fact that these same men
pulled plays of incredible brilliancy
on other occasions during the. series
did not help the result in the least.
That these errors were the effect Of
nervousness and anxiety to win is
obvious, but Merkle and Snodgrass
are both seasoned veterans now and
should be able to hold themselves
under control in even the most trying
situations.
But as long as baseball is played
there win be some who will shine
beyond their wonted splendor In
worlds series and there will be others
who will play far below their nor
NAL standard. It is a matter of tenn
permanent.

Practically all the mining COM

New Reclamation Plans
By Senator NeW|ands
Would Apply Money to Carson

Senator Newlands in an address in

made suggestions that more money
be allowed for the development of
tine upper water shed and the recla-
nation of the lands in Carson VAL
ley A portion of the fund now ap-
propriated he would have used in
storage at the head of the valley in
order that immediate settlement Of
the lands might take place. In
speaking OF the Carson River, its
source and distribution, he says:
The waters OF the Carson River are
first appropriated near the Califor-
MIA line in what is known as Carson
Valley. The private irrigation ell
terprises which have been there for
a number of years are among the
most successful in Nevada and the
West The farmers own tracts in
small areas and they are largely

Germans and Danes or their descend
ants. and form a prosperous com
munity. But there are about $4,000
acres in this valley with little or no
water, but which could be irrigated
if the waters were stored on the Cal
ifornia side.
The waters of the Carson River
now run all the way to the Lahonton
dam, and when the dam is complet-
ed the waters of the Carson and
Truckee Rivers will be united and
used on the Truckee- Carson project.
By storage on the headwaters of
the Carson, the water could be used
to develop these $4,000 acres in Car
son Valley, and most of it would
pass back into the river through
seepage and find its way into the
Lahontan dam and be used again for
the Truckee- Carson enterprise. This
development would add greatly to
the wealth of the state.
