t'Nor on this the father INTERCEPT

Anyhow, it doesn't matter much, -
Dick replied, quite unabashed. ''Ten
me, dad, how goes it?''
'sPretty well, pretty well, son. I'm
glad to zee you home again, my boy y
There vas a great tenderness in the
usually rather cold gray eyes.
"And I'm glad to be home, dad, to

the throat, but he finished braveIy-

The father avoided a threatening
display Of emotion by an abrupt
change OF subject to the trfte.

casually.
sgThe time Of my young life I tell
you, dad, it's fact that did almost
break the bank at Monte Carlo I'd
have done it sure if only my money

''It seems to me that I've heard some
thing of the sort before was elders
caustic comment. But his smile was
still wholly sympathetic He took a
curious Eicarious delight in the esca-
pades of his son, probably because he
himself had ommttted no follies in his
callow days. why didn't you cable
me?" he asked, puzzled at such re-
straint on the part of his SON.
Because it gave me a capital ex-
cuse for coming home"
You clear out of here, boy!'' Glider
commanded brusquely. "I'm a work
ing man. But here, wait minute, :"
he added. He brought forth from a
pocket a neat sheaf Of banknotGs,
which he held out. There's carfare
for you,' he said, with a chuckle
s|And now clear out. I'll see you at
dinner"
you can always get rid of me on
the same terms,'' Dick remarked slyly.
In the doorway he turned with a final
speech, which was uttered in splendid
disregard for the packet of money he
had just received "Oh, dad, please
don't forget to give Sadie that IS 1

The owner of the store returned to
his labors with a new zest, for the
meeting with his son had put him In
high spirits Perhaps it might have
been better for Mary Turner had she
come to him just then, while he was
yet in this softened mood. But fate
had ordained that other events should
restore him to his usual harder self
before their interview. Smithson en-
tered with an expression of discom-
future on his rather vacuous coun-
tenance. He walked almost ninbly to
the desk and spoke with evident dis
tress as his employer looked up inter
negatively.
''MeCracken has detained-er-a-
lady, sir,' he said feebIy. 'She has
been searched, and we have found
about 800 worth of laces on her"
'FWell?'' Glider demanded impatient
". Such affairs were too common in

YACHT BUILT IN SECRET.
Lipton's Craft Being Constructed in
Shed, Out Of Sight of Public.
cial Correspondence of The Star


LONDON, November 2S. 1919.
One who has just been at Gosport tells
me that the preliminary work i'm connec-
ton with the building of Sir Thomas Lip
tons latest challenger for the America
cup is finished. and that the construction
OF the yacht has started this week and
the casting of the lead keel will be taken
in hand as soon as possible. Nothing will
be allowed to leak out concerning the di-
mensionS, structure. or sail area of the
new Shamrock and the yacht is being
built in an inclosed shed, well out of
sight of the eyes of the curious. These
precautions are absolutely necessary, as
the least hint as to the shape of the cIal
lenger might be of value to those on your
side. -
Shamrock " will be ready by the early
spring, and will probably be launched in
April when she will sail a series OF trial
races with Sir Thomas Lpton's twenty
three meter. Shamrock. The two yachts
will be sufficiently of match to give
some idea of the challenger's speed. but
these trial races cannot really prove any
thing one way or the other, as the old
Shamrock (Which must not be confused
with the three challengers built for the
cup from 1899 to 1909 was designed to
an entirely different rating rule, and is a
smaller and more heavily constructed
yacht than Shamrock w.
The most important factor in conpec-
ton with the cup is the necessity that the
challenging yacht shall arrive in Ameri-
can waters long time before the races
in order that her crew and skipper may
get thoroughly acquainted with the CON
ditionS under which they have to sail
The announcement that the most skillfu
amateur helmsnlan of the day, W. p,
Burton of Ipswich. is to steer Shamrock
Nv In the cup races has aroused the
greatest interest here.

AMATEUR GOLF LIST CUT.
Only Players Rated at Five Will Be
Eligible to Play in Tourney.

NEW YORK, December 5.-There will
be only about half the number of golfers
eligible to compete i'll the national anna
teur championship Of the United States
Golf Association next year as there were
this, year at Garden City, for the reason
that the executive committee of the u.
S. @. A. has decided to limit the field
to those rated at five or less in the ham
dicap list. Heretofore six has been the
limit
Ia the last list announced by the asso-
citation there were Az names. with a
dozen or more additions in the summer.
The elimination of the men handicapped
at six reduces the list, according to the
calculations of last spring, to ITO, but
there will be quite few of the men at
present rated at six advanced to the five
division. At any rate. the list of eligi-
bles will be brought down to not many
more than 200
Some of the prominent golfers at pres

OF BASE BALL PLAYERS
"AI-American" Eleven Picked
From Ranks of Diamond
DevOtees.

CHICAGO, December J.-An ali Ameri-
can foot ball team composed of men who
have achieved fame as professional base
ball players has been selected by a local
critic. Every man on the team played
foot ball and some of them were stars.
Following is the eleven:
Lord, Colby, right end.
Birmingham, Cornell, right tackle.
Johnson, Carlisle, right guard.
Overall, California, center.
Reulbach, Notre Dame, left guard.
Hoblitzel, Marietta, left tackle.
Brickley, Everett, left end.
Huggins. Cincinnati. quarterback.
Thorpe, Carlisle, right halfback.
Capron, Minnesota. left halfback.
Mathewson Bucknell, fullback.
Mathewson was considered a star on
the gridiron and to him, Capron and
Thorpe. all good punters, would be given
the kicking duties. The ends selected
were halves at school, Harry Lord hav-
ing been considered the greatest in the
position that Colby ever saw.
Their Work in Colleges.
Brickley is on the Athletics pay roll
and is a brother of Harvard's famous
goal kicker Chief Johnson of the Reds
was valued member of Coach Warner S
squad a few years ago. Overall not only
was a good center at California-one Of
the. best on the Pacific coast when the
old game was played-but also was an
efficient backfield man. Higgins work
at running back punts and in open field
tacking made him famous quarter at
the University of Cincinnati.
Birmingham was an active member of
the Cornell team at one time and Reul-
bach was an aggressive linesman for
Notre Dame Hoblltzel, who helped to
coach the eleven at his alma mater this
fall, was noted for his capacity for 60
ing through and tackling runners behind
the line.
