PLANS FOR DEFENSE
OF AMERICAS CUP
Believed That Four Defenders May B,
 Constructed.

Boston, Dec. 22.-The closing days of the year find the American defense against the fourth Lipton yachting in- vasion fairly well outlined, with one intended Americas cup defender laid down and two others about to be start ed. Yachtsmen hope that the persist ent rumor of fourth boat will be- come an actuality within the next few weeks.
 The boat building at Bristol, R. T., and known as the flag officers yacht has the lead bulb for her keel already nodded.
 Work has been started at Neponset on a shed in which the yacht for A. S Cochran of New York will be built from designs by William Gardiner. It is expected that the shed will be ready by the last of the week and that the keel bulb will be laid by the first of the year.
 At Bath one of the sheds used for the construction of torpedo boats is ex- pected to be available by January 1st for the Philadelphia, New York and Boston syndicate boat. which George Owen will design
 Both the Neponset and Bath boats Will probably be tried out to some ex- tent in Massachusetts bay, with Mar blehead as their base, and it is thought possible that the Bristol boat may come around the cape for the preliminary race season in these waters early in May. By the first of June it is believ- ed that the cup defenders. with their tenders. will be found at the head of the Sound and that after races at Earchmont, Glen Cove, Oyster Bay and Indian Harbor the fleet will work down the Sound to New London and reach Newport by the last Of the month

''get a 1ine'' on Ferns. In the second round Sir Michael went oAt to w1n the contest and he did. He jaibbed and hooked Ferns seven times without Q return. Then he hit him on the chin and ferns hit the floor.
 He rose only to be knocked down again. He was knocked down third time, but the Wildcat had plenty of courage and climbed to his feet again. Mike measured him and then crossed him with his right-right on the chin. The next thing Ferns heard was the singing of the little birds and the contest was over.

 Tn 1909 Clabby appeared there four times. He knocked out Bob Slavin in three rounds, knocked out Dave Barry in one round and put Billy Griffith to sleep in four rounds. Then for good measure he made Jack Robinson bite the dust in four rounds.
 Since then Clabby has toured the world He has boxed in England and won several contests in Australia. Re boxing on the Pacific coast with mark ed success. He is as big 8 favor1te in California right now as he is in New Orleans.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
SUBSTANTIAL GAINS.
New Haven Among Issues FavorabIy
 Affected by Washington News.

New York Dec. 22.-A further re- Eponse was made by the stock mar ket today to the news from Washing ton Of the passage of the currency legislation and the administration at Otude regarding enforcement of the antitrust law. In respect to both these influences, which were the con trolling factors in last weeks sharp advance, there were additional de- Velopments on which a favorable con struction was placed. Changes made in the currency bill in conference, par ticularly the defeat of the provision for guarantee of bank deposits were to the liking of Wall street From the White House came the news that the policy pursued in the case of the American Telephone and Telegraph company would be followed with other corporations whose operations have brought then. under the eye of the department of justice and that certain of these corporations were ready to take the initiative in affecting reor- ganizadon. During the fore part of the day extensive European selling here was effective in keeping down prices The outlook at Berlin for strained money market at the end of the year was said to be responsible for heavy selling of Canadian Pacific for Berlin account and the quotation was de- pressed over four points.

ATHLETES APPEAL
 TO HARVARD STUDENTS.
Harvard Had 1137 In Training This
 Fall.

Statistics compiled from the mana gers lists show that 11S7 undergradu = ates were engaged in some form or athletics at Harvard this fall. This is an increase of Al over last years total, and the figures further show that over half the undergraduate body at liar ward is athletic for the first three months of the college year at least.
 A slight gain is recorded in every sport except tennis. in which diversion the total fell from 149 to 112, but this at best only an approximate estimate deduced from the single entries in the fall tournament. This seems to indi- cate that there is a tendency toward participating in organized sports rather than developing individual play.
 Track shows the largest gain, with a total of 143 as against 40 who re- ported for fall practice last year. As might be supposed the sport calling the largest number of men was foot ball, In which 212 names were recorded. Rowing was second, with 157; track and tennis third and fourth respective ly, with totals of 143 and 112.
 Baseball lured 5S students, cross country 78, soccer 56, lacrosse 65, hock- ey 11S, gymnastics 118 and fencing 25.

YALE's OPENING GAME
 IS UNDECIDED.
Trinity and Wesleyan Deoline-TWe
 Teams Dropped.

New Haven, Conn. Dec. 22.-While the Yale football schedule will not be formally announced until after New Years, it has been learned that all the games but one have been tentatively decided upon. The schedule includes: University of Maine, Lehigh, Washing ton and Jefferson, University of Vir- ginia, Colgate. Brown, Princeton and Harvard. All the games except that with Princeton will be played here. The only game undecided, it is under stood, is the one to start the season, as Wesleyan has declined to meet the Blue Trinity, which was offered Wes- leyan's place. has also declined.
 If this schedule is adopted, as seems likely, two of the elevens played last year will not be met again on the grid iron next fall: Lafayette and Holy Cross. Lafayette, it is understood, de- clined the invitation, and Virginia will take it's place on the schedule. There has been talk for some time of drop ping the Holy Cross game.

cLA1BY vs. GIBBONS.
May Be Matched for New Orleans
 Best in The Game.

Jimmy C1abby, the Milwaukee mid dleweight, and Mike Gibbons, the St. Paul boxer, may be matched for ten round bout to take place in New Or leans on New Years afternoon. The mat atehmaker of the Orleans A. c. is trying to arrange this match and says he has offered very liberal inducements to this pair of crackerja cks.
 New Orleans sport followers had their first glimpse at Gibbons a short time ago, when he knocked out Clar- ence 'fWilcat' Ferns in two rounds. On this occasion Gibbons made a big impression. In fact, they almost went to see him return there and box Clabby
 Tn the first round Gibbons merely felt Ferns out. But while doing so he gave a splendid exhibition of how to feint, block, hit and get away He was graceful in every move and was as fleet of foot as a dancing master.

More InternationI conoetition.

Two more international competitions appear likely to be added to the 1914 schedule of sport. and in both cases United States yachtsmen will appear in the role of cup defenders. Unofficial announcement from foreign sources states that challenges will soon be forwarded for both the Sender and ca noe trophies, which were successfully defended during the past season. The canoe cup challenge is expected from the GanaoQue Motorboat and Canoe club of Ontario, and Ralph Britton, who sailed the challenger in Gravesend Bay last summer, will probably handle the tiller in the new sailing canoe. The Sonder challenge will come from one of the German yacht clubs, but there appears to be some doubt as to wheth- CT the dates for the races will be set for 1914 or year later

CHEERING AND EFFICIENCY.
Music and Noise Keep Athletes Going,
 According to Walter Christie.

Walter Christie, the University of California track coach, states it as his opinion, based on g years of observa- tion- that one-fourth of the efficiency of track men comes directly from the cheering of the rooters. The athlete, he says, must have music and noise to keep him going. He claims that in the intercollegiate races on the coast, Cali fornia men invariably slow down while passing the rival rooters but that upon reaching the other side of the grand stand they speed up because of the proximity to the rooters from their own school. The principle involved Is said to he one well known to psychol- ogists as crowd contagich," and IS recognized factor in determining the strength of the contestants. It is stat ed that a man breaks quickly into his reserve of strength when a thousand threats are helping him wield the bat tering ram. A show of abnormal strength is usually coincident with loud cheer from the bleachers.

Biggest Pair Of Tusks.

In the stables of the royal palace at
Mandalay in Burmah, there may be
seen an elephant with remarkable
pair of tusks, which the Burmese de-
clare are the largest in ths world, says
the Wide World Magazine These gi-
gantic tusks measure as much as
seven feet nine inches on the outside
curve, with greatest circumference
of no less than seventeen inches.
To naturalists the most extraordi-
nary point about these tusks, which
are still being carried by their owner,
is that they virtually touch the ground
and almost meet. Apparently, how
ever, their owner experiences no in
convenience from these long and cum
brous appendages while taking exer-
else.
AS a geological curiosity the ele-
plant has naturally attracted wide at.
tention, and it is said that several Of
fers have already been received for
the tusks when the animal should see
fit to depart this world.

DEATHS MOST ACTIVE AGENT
Worry, Mover Hard Work, Responsible
for the Defamation Of tho HUI
man Races.

We hear daily OF men and women
who are working themselves to
death" But work is as surely the
friend Of man as worry Is his dead
Hest foe. Unless carking care and
sickening foreboding are blent with
labor, work never kills. Yet worry
Stays its tens and hundreds Of thou
sands every year.
The person who wishes to live long
and beneficently should cultivate the
desire to see others as comfortable
as he wishes to be himself. He must
not regret that others are better of
in what makes living pleasant. =
Here Is a fact that some so-called
philanthropists never learn: there
lives not the human creature who is
wholly embarrassing. Be on the alert
to espy something in those whom you
meet that will commend them to your
regard. Listlcssness and the capacity
for being bored bring more old people
to the grave than disease or actual
sorrow. If you have no other sob" In
