The witness frightened Visibly, and

BUILDING YACHT is BIG JOB
Million Dollars Needed for Construc-
ton of Defender to Resist Attempt
Of Sir Thomas Upton.

The cost of building and maintain
ing crew for cup defending yacht,
such as will resist the attempt of Sir
Thomas Upton to lift the Americas
cup next year, is estimated to be
about 81 900, 000 This includes every
thing, from the designers fee to the
food and pay of the crew Of the vessel.
This expense will be divided among
several New York men, members of
the. New York Yacht club, which has
accepted the challenge of Sir Thomas
Upton.
It seems strange to layman that
such an enormous amount of money
could be expended on one vessel, but
to the experienced yachtsman it is
very apparent why the expense is SO
great. In the first place, the materials
for the yacht must be of the very
best. The first step in the construc-
ton is the laying of the keel. For
this is used about 80 tons of lead. 1t
is nodded by pouring the metal into
large wooden mold that has been built
according to specifications. To this
is fastened, by long bolts, the keel
son, strip of steel running the
length of the yacht.
The ribs and stem and stern posts
are fastened to the keelson. The stern
post is the one to which the rudder is
attached later The ribs or frames
are set up, generally about 20 inches
apart, the whole length of the yacht
AS soon as the frames are in place,
the plates are riveted on. These
plates, made Of tobin bronze, are very
wide. They are first oiled, then care
fully bent to the required shape. The
lower row, cardboard strake,' is put
on first, the others being built on
this row.
AS soon as the plates are on, the
laying Of the deck is begun. The deck
is generally composition Of steel and
aluminium, covered with light wood
en- flooring. Then comes the setting
of the masts and spars. The mast
of the last cup defender was 113 feet
long. This stick is split in half
and, after being followed out, is
pasted together with a special prep
aration. All the heavy spars are
| hollow.
After the masts and sails are set, the
yacht goes out of the hands Of the
| builder. Then comes another ex-
| pense, that of housing and feeding the
crew of about so. A special schoon-
er must be kept to house the crew, as
the yacht is not fitted up that way.
These expenses mount up to thou
| sands, and the owners soon find that
their original estimate is doubled and
| somewhat tripled.

Schang Not the First
Young Catcher to Star

Walter Schang will not be the
first young catcher to get chance
to distinguish himself in worlds
series. Forest Cady of the Red
Sox had this honor thrust upon him
a year ago. Cady had caught Joe
Wood all year and was allowed to
continue to do so in the clash with
the Giants. In fact, his receiving
excelled that of Carrigan, now
manager, and the second stringer
went behind the bat in the major
ity of the games. Jack Lapp took
part in the worlds series of 1910,
his first year as an Athletic regu-
lar, but was used only in part Of
the last game, Thomas doing the
rest of the catching despite the fact
that Lapp had caught Coombs all
season.

BAG PUNCHING STUDY
Fight Fans Study Use of inflated
Sack as Developer.
Modern Boxers Appear to Direct Most
of Attack Toward Opponents
Head-Body Blows by Long
Odds Are Most Effective.

The usefulness or the modern In
fiated punching bag as means OF
developing power is being seriously
questioned by some of the leading
boxers with brains enough to try to
get at the bottom of things concern
ing their trade. The objection is that
the bag, swinging on level with the
strikers head, is of no use in devel
oping body blows. It is notlceapie
that body punching is becoming lost
art, most modern boxers directing all
their attention to swinging for the
head.
Those versatile enough to direct
blows wherever an opening can be
found put far more force in those for
the Jaw than those for the region OF
the belt line. Yet the body blow Is
by long odds the most damaging Its
effect is lasting, while blow to the
law. unless it dazes badly, does no
harm.
Formerly a large portion Of knock
outs were scored by clean cut body
blows. Nowadays the proportion is
extremely small. In all probability
therein lies the reason that modern
glove men are inferior to those OF
decade ago and accounts for the fact
that white hopes are so slow In de-
veloping.
Even those who favor the body blow
are far from being capable opponents
Of it's use. They employ the same
swinging motion that they use In
! blows for the head This is necessa-
rily awkward and does not produce
effective results. A half arm jolt or
uppercut such as Fitzsimmons used
against Corbett and Sharkey is the
| most effective style, but this blow
cannot be developed by swinging at
bag hung on a level with the head.
A directly opposite set of muscles are
! required In delivering it, and as the
! average boxer neglects to develop
them he has to depend on head blows
When a modern boxer scores heav-
| lily with body blow it Is usually
straight right for the heart-a punch
that can be- practiced on the bag.
| Johnny Coulon, Jack Britton, Leach
Cross, Eddie McGoorty and Gunboat
| Smith all use this blow well but none
| of them ever score a knockout with
a half arm jolt delivered at close quar-
| ters.
Before she air inflated sphere be-
came so popular heavy, slow swing
ing bag filled with sand was used.
Even now the old school managers
have one of these in their training
quarters. This offers good practice
for body blows, but it is most neglect
ed altogether. The air bag is more
/ spectacular and it's use affords more
amusement. For this reason the heavy
/ bag does not find favor with modern
boxers, but they lost by not taking
| advantage of it's good features.

West Point Requested
to Abolish Football

Elimination of football from
West Point athletics is advocated
in the annual report Of Colonel
Townsley, superintendent Of the
West Point Military Academy.
Colonel Townsley states that rs
per cent of the men needing the
attention of surgeons at West
Point last year were injured in
football games. This, he asserts,
is no adequate compensation for
the physical training resulting from
participation in the pastime.
Colonel Townsley also recon-
mended elimination of the ap-
pointment system of choosingcan-
didates for West Point. He sug-
gests competitive examination
