Radical Change in Plans

cup sloop designed by Nat Herreshoff
for the Vanderbilt syndicate has been
made whereby the craft will have
sdded to the upper surface of the keel
nearly thirteen tons more lead with
provision to have no inside lead bal

formed at first by Designer Herreshoff

syndicate Is willing and urgent for
the change.
The big bronze keel castings and
other metal forms nodded as part of
of the material of construction are to

they would not fit. New plans will be
made for other parts of the hull fabric
as the work of changing advances and

AMERICAN SOCCER SOLON
TELLS HISTORY OF GAME

In a letter to friends In Amer
lea, DIR. David Starr Jordan, former
president of the Leland Stanford Uni
versity, who attended the fiftieth an
niversary of the founding of the Foot
ball Association of England, which
introduced the game of soccer foot
ball. narrates the foundation and
growth of organized soccer football
as follows:
'As the game was founded in Lon
don, it is quite natural that the men
associated with it should belong to
London and the south of England. In
those days there was one or two
clubs in the north, but London was re-
ally the centre of all football and as
ISOLATED with schools and old boys
institutions.
Hacking was a recognized feature
of the game, and when it was pro-
posed to abolish hacking, or kicking
and tripping, it was argued that all
the pluck and courage of the game
would be at an end.
"A story is told that when the pres
ent head of the football association,
Lord Kinnaird, met an old schoolmate
in an international match the presi-
dent, then vigorous youth, used his
feet so much on his opponents legs
that the latter expostulated and asked

National Leaguers to Welcome
Worlds Tourists in February

The National League will assist the
American League in giving welcome
to the woodworking Chicago White
Sox and New York Giants upon their
return to New York next March, ac-
cording to a letter received yesterday
by President Ban B. Johnson, of the
American League, from Governor
John K. Tener, president of the Ma
tional League.
President Johnson recently an
nounced that he would accompany a
party of White Sox supporters to
New York to greet the home coming
tourists. Governor Tener requested
that plans for the celebration be
made Jointly with the National
League, and 1t was announced that
his request will be granted.
The Chieagoans will go on SPECIAL
train leaving March 8, arriving in
New York March 8, the date the play
ers expect to land.

whether they were playing football
or hacking.
In 1867 a number of Sheffield play
ers organized an association Of their
own, and the game came to be played
almost as much in the north as in
London. Inter-city matches began at
this time, and the players were dis
tinguished principally by the vigor
of their tactics.
THE first international match was
played In 1872 between England and
Scotland, and Immediately thereafter
numerous clubs sprang up all over the
country. Professionalism was legal
lied when 1T was seen that the pro-
fessional player was inevitable in the
city clubs. and from that time the
game made great strides. The crowds
at the final matches grew from thou
sands to tens of thousands, and every
town supported its team.
In London at the present time
there are only a dozen professional
clubs, and along with them we see
something between thirty thousand
and forty thousand amateurs playing
the game every Saturday afternoon,
Wherever the professional has made
his way the amateur has multiplied
and the game has prospered exceed
ingly.'

OLeary, at Seventy, Wants
to Arrange Walking Match

LOS ANGELES, Dec 23.-Dan
O'Leary, the veteran pedestrian, still
has the walking fever, even though
he is seventy years old. He Is busy
arranging for a contest here next
April, which will be open to Weston,
Ennis, Hoagland and O'Missier and
others who have good records to their
credit. O'Leary, who is unquestion-
ably the fairest heel and toe walker
among all the pedestrians, besides be-
ing the most graceful, says that he
feels as buoyant now as he did In his
palmiest days.
The walk proposed by CLEARLY is to
be 1000 miles straightaway, and he
hopes to see 1t covered In twelve or
thirteen days. Each contestant must
post forfeit of $1OO. The date Tor the
walk has not been definitely selected,
for O'Leary says he is anxious to hear
from Ennis, Weston, Hoagland and
others before doing so.

ANDERSON MADE
NAME AS GOLFER
Father of Two Famous Pros,
tie Established Reputation
as Teacher of Game.
GOSSIP OF THE LINKS

: The death OF Tom Anderson, the
elder, which occurred at Montclair on
Sunday, removed one of the most pic
turesque figures in American golf.
Old Tom was not content to be known
merely as the father of Willie Ander-
son, many times open champion. and
young Tom Anderson. the Oakmont
professional, but made a name for
himself as one of the most popular of
the many Scotch professionals who
have come to the United States.
Although nearly sixty years of age
and weighing well over 200 pounds,
the Montclair professional kept play
ing golf and playing 1t well until
the end of the season Just closed. In
the course of his long residence at
the Montclair Golf Club Anderson es-
tablished a splendid reputation as a
teacher of the game and as an ex-
cellent greenkeeper as well.
Anderson's death was due to pneu-
monia, contracted about two weeks
ago, when he went to the pier to see
his son Tom off for q visit to his
mother and sister In London.
Apawamis golfers plan team
match for New Years Day. Freder-
ick 8. Wheeler, former president Of
the Metropolitan Golf Association,
has been appointed captain of Team
A, while Harmon 8. Graves will lead
Team B. The first man on each team
will compete against the other at
match play without handicap, and so
on down the list. Each match viii
count one, and tho team having the
greatest number of points will win.
In the evening an old-fashioned coun-
try elmer will be served at the nine
tenth hole" the losing team having
as guests the winners.
Arrangements have been mace
with W. E. Conklyn, of Dunwoodte,
who is a railroad man, to run a spe-
cial train for the members of the Win
ter Golf League of Advertising Inter
ests, the annual tournament of which
will be held at Pinehurst, N. c., jan
uary IL to II.
Final arrangements for the annual
meeting of the Women's Metropoli-
tan Golf Association have been
made. The meeting will be held
January 20 at the Hotel Biltmore,
New York Unless some other club
comes forward with a more attrac-
tive offer the championship tourna-
ment probably will go to the Plain
field Country Club.
When the annual meeting of the
New Jersey State Golf Association Is
held January 27 at the office of Fred
erick H. Thomas, New York, one of
the matters that will come up for
consideration will be the advisability
of extending the tournament from
three to four days. Fields have been
so large in the last two or three
wears as to cause congestion and
considerable difficulty in running off
the tournament in prescribed time.
With an extra day added 1t would
allow for a qualifying round of
thirty-six holes as well as for a
'thirty-six hole final on the last day.

eleven which moved down every team

Among the stars of the Hawthorne
eleven were the Shortman brothers,
Roland and Clifford. 1t was mainly
due to their work in the final game

In the old days a good percentage
of ball players were slaves, or close
to the boundary. They brought this
serfdom of themselves by blowing in

In recent developments, HerZog and
