tolerance, and bring into being many
other reforms that the Republicans
long have sought.
Il am thoroughly convinced OF King
Alfonso's sincerity and interest"
Azcarate declared, when he left the
royal audience, today. II am delight
ed Better things surely are in the
very near future for Spain"
Azcarate limited that King Alfonso
had said that In the event OF another
ministerial crisis, resulting from the
proposed reforms, he would consult
the leaders OF the anti-dynastic par
Ties before naming another cabinet.
Today's newspapers devoted much
space to Azcaratels audience with the
king, and pointed out that II marked
q new epoch In Spanish history, when
the ruler received leader Of the OPP
position party.
1T opens a new era OF peace, prog.
ress and tolerance" was the inter

The contract for this yacht was sign ed by B. Walter Clark of Philadelphia, who is the managing owner of the new yacht, and the builders are an iron works firm of Bath, Me.

Pynchon began the New York Yacht club he arranged with several yachtsmen to have de- fender. At first it was planned to have the yacht built by Herreshoff, but the Bristol builder was not anxious to un dertake the construction of more than one defender, and when the contract to build a yacht was made with the New York Yacht club syndicate MT. Pyn- chon had to look elsewhere for his de- signs. It was the first syndicate start ed but owing to one or two bitches has only just been completed
 MT. Pynchon has been most earnest in his work to get three or more yachts built to defend the cup, because he realized that under the present rules it would be dangerous to rely on one yacht only and that one without 9 trial yacht. After working hard in New York MT. Pynchon joined forces with Com modore B.

Their sleds are especially built and very fast.
 Each can contemplate a successful season just brought to a close with a snug fortune salted away, and each can look forward to a large retaining fee for 1914, in addition to fat incomes from outside mounts. Maher receives several thousand dollars annually from the Earl of Rosebery for first call. but will not give any one second call. pre- ferring to coin money as free lance. Martin has equally generous patron in Harry Payne Whitney. Skeets still can ride at 105 pounds and looks dried up for keeps. He has ridden more than fifty winners this season and has been in the money 16O times.
 Willie Shaw, who for the past two seasons has been riding in Austria for Prince Hohenlohe Oehringen, has fall en out with his employer and been superseded by Eddie Dugan. Shaw. however, is not worrying, for he has in his pocket a new contract to ride in the 'FVaterland'' for the Herren von Weinberg.

 Radical differences were found to exist on the resolution proposing the abolition of professional coaches. Some of the more prominent coaches, such as Stagg of Chicago and Will Hams of Minnesota, would be debarred if the idea were made into conference law.

Bill KIem, Able Umpire, Is on Tour
 With the SOx-Giants

BEFORE the last whispers of base
 ball are lost in. the din of other activities it becomes a duty to narrate that Bill Rem, the peppery umpire of the National league. is one of the arbfters in the world tour of the New York Giants and White Sox. Klem has not only proved that he is a good umpire. but has proved that he is also a brave man. He has not even shud- dered at being cast into the midst of forty or more fiery athletes on a trip that will carry him beyond the pro tecting hand of his native country. As a matter of fact, Bill will about be equal to the occasion.
 Taking Klem is a mark of distinc- tion for him. He is regarded by many as the best umpire in the bnsiness-a fact which seems to be pretty well established by his selection twice for worlds series. In the present instance 1t was largely due to Manager Me- Graw that Klem was selected Mo- Graw, who never had any particular love for urnpires a general things thinks highly of hem because he rec ognizes that Klem has become a mas ter of his business, just as McGraw himself has become master of his own end of the game. McGraW has often maintained that Klem was the only man in the business who could do Matty justice on balls and strikes
 
 an important series than any other arbiter. K1em is popular among the ball players, but this trip around the world is going to be a new experience for him.
 In the course of a regular season the urnpfres associate very little with the ball players They stop at differ ent hotels, and their schedule is SO arranged that they seldom travel on the same trains the ball clubs. But on this trip Klem will be in the party all the time Of course, no great i'm portance attaches to the outcome of these games. and there should not be any trouble over decisions, but ball players never seem to be able to keep off' an umpire even in exhibition games.
 On the other hand, Klem is probably the most successful silencer of ball players now extant. It is part of his business he has perfected. But he is aided a good deal by the fact that players give him credit for having a keen eye and knowing their game, and, moreover. they know that above all things he is always fair and unpretu- diced in his decisions

COMING HOME WITH HEFTY
 BANK ROLLS MADE ABROAD

QUITE a number of American turf
 men in London are rushing home from Europe with hefty bank rolls, among them being such international celebrities as Jockeys Frank O'Nei1 and Willie Shaw and Trainer Jack Ioyner.
 Frank O'Nein is probably the best rider on the other side of the Atlantic. He has piloted upward of 160 winners in France. besides winning some of England's big events as a side issue. W K vanderbilt retains first call upon O'NeiIl's services for next year, and Baron Edouard de Rothschi1d has re- newed his second call. while Monsieur x Bali has obtained third call As each contract carries with it a fat re- taining fee. besides payments for mounts and generous gifts for especial ly desired wins, it looks as if Master Frank is in a fair way to grow as opu- lent in France as Danny Maher has in England, where old Uncle Bill Daly's nephew is reputed to be worth not less than a quarter of a million dollars, thanks largely to the generosity and influence of the Earl of Rosebery.
 Danny is not going to visit the old folks at Hartford. Ct, this winter He
