as possible. Mean while, Sir Thomas Lipton had cabled from London, under date of August 6, this query.
 Tn view of serious war conditions if can communicate with Erin, will your committee kindly allow Erin tow Shamrock remaining distance 9"
 Under the conditions of the deed of gift of the Americas cup, the chal- lenging yacht must cross the ocean under her own sails. It is assunfed here that Sir Thomas feared that the Shamrock during a slow trip under her own sails might be captured by warships hostile to England. The Shamrock was well on her way to the United States when Sir Thomas Lip tons request was received.
 The New York Yacht Club sent this reply to Sir Thomas:
 The committee representing the New York Yacht club are at present scattered and meeting is impossible. If here, however, they do not possess authority to change conditions of deed of gift. We are awaiting reply from Royal Ulster Yacht Club to our cable addressed to them yesterday"
 On Sunday came the following re- ply from H. L. Garrett of the Royal Ulster Yacht Club:
 preciate the cablegram received from the New York Yacht Club. After consultation with Sir Thomas Lipton they would be glad if postponement of one month could be granted in regard to the nineteen fourteen racing dates In the event of war still in being in progress this postponement to be ex- tended so far as to enable the races to be sailed in nineteen fifteen under tn same conditions and between the existing challnger and defenders under dates to be mutually agreed upon be- tween the two clubs.

NATIONAL RIFLE SHOOTING.
Connecticut Marksmen Will be Placed In Eastern Division and Go to Sea Girt, N. J.

A radical departure in the holding of the big rifle shooting contests of the National Guard, Army, Navy, and Marine Corps will mark this year s contests. Formerly all the organ izations, no matter in what part # the country Journeyed to a single central pOint-Camp Perry. Ohio and there competed in one joint shoot. The cost in time and money of this long Journey for some organizations initiated against the popularity of this plan. and this year the innovation will be tried of dividing the country Into i've divisions and having the matches of the National Rifle asocia- tion in each of the divisions.
 The Eastern states will be known as division A. which includes Maine, New Hampshire. Vermont, Massachu- setst. Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York. Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Dell aware, Maryland, Virginia, West Vir- ginia and the District of Columbia. The matches will be held at Sea Gift, N. j.. beginning August zA. All these

 ATTORNEYS AT LAW
CRUCIAL TIME COMING
 FOR BOSTON BRAVES.
They are in the Midst of One of Greatest Rallies of the Game, But the Giants are Formidable.

With almost the entire baseball world except that part within the boundaries of the borough of Manhat- tan. hoping and pulling for thme to go in and win. the Boston Barves will next Thursday become enbroiled with the well-known New York Gi- ants, in the most crucial Of all the crucial series there have been in the National league so far during this un- canny season.
 The Braves who Monday went in- to second place, are truly the hopes of white race, recognized as the most likely team to beat the Giants out. If the St. Louis Cardinals could only play the New York Giants all season they would undoubtedly be the op- ponenIS of the Athletics in this years world series. The Cards are by no means out of 1t yet. and if Boston can't win. wells t. Louis, it is felt, would nuke | better showing against the American leaguers than the Gi- ants. Eut the Cards can beat the ether teams as easily as they dc New York.

 The said Braves are in the midst of one of the grandest rallies the history CT the game records. Up from the abysmal depths of last place they have risen, until today they are six and one-half games away from the Giants. Of course. six and one half games are six and one-half games, as some wise person has said, but there Is as yet no sign of pausing in the upiift movement in Boston. and there IS no telling when there will be.
 As the figures now stand the Braves have won 25 out of the last 5l games ard tied another. which is more consistent good baseball than any other team in the older league has been guilty of throughout the season The Athletics alone, of all th" big league teams can show a be.- ter percentage of games won for SC long a distance.

WAR STORY HAS
LONG PEDIGREE
Frederick Palmer Resurrects
An Ancient, Favorite Taunt
of Soldier.
From Kansas City Star.

from hdIlSdS CITY STAR.
frederick Palmer is am excellent war
correspondent. He really knows as
much about wal as any street corner
strategist, which, everyon will admit.
is a broad and extensive knowledge of
scientific manslaugllter.
But Frederick Palmer can't detect
gray whiskers on a war anecdote. He
ought to leave that part of war report
ing to Irwin Cobb, Herbert Corey, John
McCutcheon and all the other humor-
lists and near humorists America has
forwarded to Europe.
In his war story in October Every
body's Palmer tells this one:
"Once a French officer was teas
ing "A Belgian officer about his
army.
Gwen come over and give yo,,
a taste of it some day. said the
Belgian la%ughingly.
"'How will you get it past the
customs? inquired the French
man."
tits a perfectly good story. But it
has an ancestry that makes h family
tree of Il Colonial Dame look like q
dwarfed Seeding. A year ago it APP
peared in the public prints thusly:
"'Some day. a Mexican artillery
officer said, all Mexican factions
will unite and then we'll invade the
gringo.'
eff you do an American replied,
you better take along a lot of nick
els or the street car conductors in
El Paso will put you out"
The humor is a bit broader than in
the Palmer version. but it is the same
old laugh. Again:
Said a Japanese to a San Fran
ciscan:
IF we ever declare war we'll
have an army intrenched in the
Rockies before you car mobilize a
regiment
Replied the San franciscan:
"'Yes, you will; if the summer
tourists in California don't take
your guns away from you as SOU
venirs.'"
In it's Spanish-American war reviva
it approached its highest quality. II
those days it was old as follows:
"A Spanish officer was chatting
with a member of the British en-
never been to America. The Eng
ish,nan had beer on service in
Washington.
when war is declared boosted

in Florida and march up the coast
and take New York

Turning Hands Backward.

A gentleman writing to The Tribune
from Pierre, but who did not authorize
the publication of his communication,
says:
I have been travelling through South
Dakota for the past few days, and Incl
centally have been sounding the progress
sivcs as to United States senator.
i find but little enthusiasm as to this
office. On the one hand the progressives
do not seem to care to vote for Johnson,
but on the other hand. they feel that
they can not vote for a pronounced re-
dictionary. as Mr.. Burke is.
The tide is turning against Burke in
South Dakota. and as the situation is be-
ing more thought over. he Is losing
ground. The impression seems to be that
to EJECT Burke. would be to turn the
HANDS backward. and that. preferably,
johnson will be voted for.
believe that If election were postponed
for a few weeks. the little enthusiasm
for Burke would be less than 1T is now.
His reactionary loyalty to Cannonism and
the old regime is not easily accepted.
1t is a question of reactionaryism or
progressive democracy.
