Racing Small Craft Has Become Popu.
lar Since Their introduction.
The fifth series of international SON
der yacht races. to be held next Sep
TENDER off M~arblehead. Mass, between
German and American boats. was an
nounced recently. The international
contest between the two countries for
this type of boat o stands three
American victories to one German.
As in the four previous contests, the
races win be sailed under the joint

same waters on Sept. J..
Yachts competing in the trials must
be designed and built and all sails and
fittings made in the country to which

crews must be amateur members of
the yacht clubs which are admitted TO
the trial races and shall consist OF not
more than three persons, who must be
citizens of the country in which the
yacht was built.
The first international sender boat

welt as the principal incentive. The
trophy was won by L. l.. Park. owner
Of the American yacht Vim.
The second series was held at Kiel in
1907. when the Germans successfully
defended the cup presented by the
was off Marblehead in 1909. and a cup
named for President Taft was won by
William II. Childs, owner of the Amer

do not total over thirty-two feet. with a
sail area limited to $50 square feet, has
been a popular type of boat in eastern

PLAN A BERMUDA RACE.
Annual Ocean Yacht Contest Will Be
Set For Next June,


The first active preparations for the
staging of the Bermuda race for 1919
were taken recently, when several in
formal conferences were held at the
Yachtsmen's club in Chicago.
Charles l.. Iagen is owner OF the
Dream, winner of the Bermuda race
last year and the boat which won the
James Gordon Bennett cup for Chica-
go. He is an enthusiast on ocean rae
ing and proposes to make his regime
one of unusual activity In this direction
as well as of usefulness in demonstrat.
ing the feasibility OF the small boat.
properly built and properly equipped,
outridlng any sea.
The tentative plans as outlined for
this years race include a change OF
date to avoid the hurricane season.
Observation has proved that along
about July 81, the date Of last years
race. more storms occur in the particu-
lar zone ~trayersed than at any other
period during the summer, If not dur
ing the year. Some time between June
2 and June 8 is the time selected tenta-
lively for the race this year, At that
time the sea is calm and sailing more
delightful, SO far as forethought into
these conditions car foresee.

his father for ten iron men. and
the next night he came back for
twenty more, which led his ia
Their to believe that he was hit
ting them ont too fast When
the father asked RUDE where the
money had gone Rube knocked
this one over the fence.

The old gentleman. shaking his

FIGHTERS O N LAST.
Present Day PugiIists Fall of Early,
Says Jim Corbett.

Says Jim Corbett.
Jim Corbett says the fighters OF to-
day start in too early. and many fistic
experts declare he is right about it.
Wolgast lost his championship at
twenty-four; Abe Attell lost his at
twenty-six. Matt Wells at twenty-five
is all In, and SO is frankie Conley at
twenty-three. Monte Attell is twenty
five, and he has gone to the post in an
important bout for the last time.
In the old days ringsters lasted much
longer. Jeffries won the heavyweight
title at t~wenty-four and was still cham
pion at thirty. Corbett was twenty
nine when he lost to Fitzsimmons. and
Fftz was thirty-four. Sullivan was the
same age when Corbett defeated him.
Corbett attributes the early fall to
the fact that a boys lungs and muscles
develop too fast.

ICEDoAT GOING AT FULL
flows into New York bay at Sandy
Hook, is the greatest ice yachting CEN
ter. Upon this shallow river scores
of the fleet craft are seen. and the
swift racers shoot by faster than the
fastest trains that ever rolled on rails.
Lake W~innebago, Wisconsin, is an
other ice yachting center. The Lake
Winnebago Ice Yacht association is a
highly prosperous organization with a
tremendous fleet. Winnebago is thirty
five miles long and sixteen miles wide
In places. Its surface usually remains
hard for three months in each year, so
there Is unlimited opportunity for ice
yacht sailing.
Few persons except those who have
ridden in one have an accurate CON
ception of the appearance of the ice
boat. Save for the tall masts and sails
it bears little resemblance to the ordi-
nary yacht.
The body Of the boat is shaped like a
cross with the top part forward. The
beam is barely wide enough to bear a
couple of figures lying at length.
On the underside extends a long run
ner, which is usually the keel in the
sailboat. The ends Of the cross are
shod with steel runners about a yard in
length. The rudder acts on the same
plan as that OF the ordinary boat, but
is also REINFORCED with a steel runner,
which cuts into the Ice in swinging the
yacht around.
Once started the boat travels very
easily, even in a moderate breeze. Its
course is a series of leaps through the
air, in each of which the boat rises sew
eral inches from the ice and shoots
through the air like a flying machine.
The return to the ice is so even and
easy that there is not the slightest jar.
1t is this continual rising and falling at
high speed which make ice yachting so
attractive.
With all its so called dangers ice
yachting has a fascination that cannot
be denied. and it is a glorious pastime.
With the racers wrapped up In warm
clothing and speeding faster and fast
err, with the air full of electric sparks
and the ice sparkling ahead. the glow
ing cheeks and the flashing eyes of the
participants in this sport attest its
wholesomeness. 10 steer in a bitter
wind and TO stand on the windward
side of an iceboat is one of the joys of
life.
For some boats records of a mile a
minute and less are easy, while In a
heavy wind with perfect Ice a speed of
eighty miles an hour has been accom-
plished. In fact, there is a wonderful
record on the books of 6ve-eighths of a
mile in fifteen seconds, or at the rate of
a mile in twenty-four seconds, two and
one-half miles In a minute, faster than
any automobile, aeroplane or any ma
chine has over annihilated space.
Shotten of Browns a Speed Merchant.
Most of the players in the American
league say that Shotten, the outielder
OF the st. Louis club. can get down to
first base faster than any player In the
league. They also predict that be will
be another American league star this
season.
