COST OF YACHTING
SUPREMACY RUNS TO
e.. HALF A MILLION NOW

One should realize how the cost of
our yachting supremacy is mounting
in leaps and bounds. In the early days
beats were not especially built for the
Americas cup race In fact, the
Countess of Dufferin. back IN 90, was
the first boat thus specially built. and
she probably cost about $4,000. On
cur own side. the PoeahontSs, in 81.
was the first boat that was admittedly
constructed for this race. but by the
middle of the SOS boats We're being
built and designed solely for the at.
tack and defense of this cup. James
Gordon Bennett>and a Mr.. Douglass
put I'D something like $4,000 for the
Priscilla, and in 1856 the Mayfiower
cost Gen. Paine well over $4,000. The
Thistle and Mcyfiower probably cost
$4,000. but in 1893 the expense of
Lord Dunraven ran up to probably
$4,000. and the cost of the boats
built for the defense beam to go up
in like measure. BY 1899. when Lip.
ton essayed his first Shamrock. a close
friend of his says that the whole trans.
action cost him close to 100000 Our
defense in that year must have cost
well over 100000, and now race
really means an expenditure of at
least half a million dollars.

The Oahu polo team will go up
against the pick of the army players
at Schofield Barracks tomorrow after
noon in game of six IL minute
periods, which should give good line
on the probable strength of the sery-
ice entry in the interisland champion
ships this year. The strongest combi-
naticn that can be drawn from the
two mounted regiments at Sehofield,
the 4th Cavalry and the LIST Field Ar
tillery. will face the Oahu four, and
this army combination will be mount
ed by pooling the polo stock of the
two outfits This should make much
more formidable team than either
regiment can put into the field alone,
for the horse problem is what the sol
diers have been up against in the past
and joining OF the two stables should
work wonders in the way of speeding
up the team.
Oahu will play the same four men

"HE CAN HAVE MY JoB'

This story is related by the presi-
dent of the State Sunday School AS
sociation of South Dakota.
In an Indiana town there were
three churches and one saloon. The
people decided to do all they could
to vote the town dry at coming cleo
ton, and called a great mass meet
ing of the Christian people to map
out plan of campaign. A large
crowd gathered and the subject was
discussed pro and con. A very clear
and concise plan of action was de-
cided upon and an open siege inaug-
urated against the one citadel of the
liquor traffic in the town.
Just before adjournment there came
down the aisle an elderly man; well
dressed, even courtly in appearance
and manner. He asked for the priyi-
lege of speaking moment and the
request was granted Facing the au-
dience, he said: Il do not have to tell
many of the people here, tonight who
1 am. Most of you recognize me as
the saloonkeeper whose business Won
have planned to attack tonight. You
see I'm an old man-tIlis has been
my occupation for years, and / know
no other job. If you vote this town
dry you will ruin an old man when
he is at an age where he cannot nos
sibly take up new business. If Won
will withdraw your effort from this
campaign, I'll promise to run a first
class saloon and observe avery re-
str1ction of law. I promise IT be-
cause | haven't any other Job If Won
persist in your campaign and II ter
inmates successful1y."
After the salconkeeper had fin
ished speaking and returned to his
seat there came down the aisle mod
est little woman, plainly dressed
who also asked to say a word. Her
request was also granted. She said.
Il do not have to tell you tonight who
am. You know me as the washer
woman in your vilIage-the woman
who does six washings and four IRON
ings every week, do this to SUM-
port my children and keep up nv

husband spends his earnings at that

people will work so as to vote this
town dry, thereby saving to our home
and children the money that rightful-
~ belongs there for its support viii

PITCHERS / HAVE FACED
BY EDDIE COLLINS,

NO. 9.
Lefty Russell OF the Chicago Ameri
cans is often spoken of as a second
RUDE Waddel., and not only does he
bear to Rube a striking resemblance
but he pitches in a very similar man
ner. Unlike most southpaws, Russell
throws his fast bali over-handed, and
for left-hander his control is cxeep
tional. But the thing that makes him
of immense value to the Sox is his
seeming love for work 1t is odd that
his club shouid have developed tvs
pitchers, Walsh and Russell. both OF
them able to work nearly every other
day and appear just as effective.

why.
with the fame goes also the myth
this curious legend that Lincoln was
a '-rough-snd-ready debater.1 an sun
calmly man. The plain 18th is that
he was a man Of uncommon natural
ness, dignity and grace; an athlete of
extraordinary power and endurance.
Some of the photographs of him are
among the comparatively few human
apietures that are inherently decorative.
Truman n. Bartlett proved this some
wears ago in an article in McClure's
Magazine. and he cited in his support
such authorities AS the great French
sculptor Rodin. In debate and in his
writings Lincoln ranks as one Of the
masters of the English language. His
work is a permanent part of our lit
erature, and a sentence from one Of
hisladdresses is framed in one of the
halls at Oxford as an example of per-
feet English speech. If you want to

characteristics Charles A.
Comiskey, owner of the Chicago
White Sox, has been a very busy
magnate since his return from the
world tour He has thrived on work,
regaining his health and winning
more victories over the Federal
league than have been printed in the
newspapers. Recently the Old Ro-
man has signed nearly every player
of his club the Federals want to long
distance, ironclad contracts. Capt.
Weaver. Jim Scott and Joe Benz, who
had Federal league leanings. have
contracted to play for the Sox mag
nate for long terms, according to in

sources, and the Federal league will

Reported Diekering with Feds ~
For several months the names of
Weaver and Scott have been linked
with alleged chickering's with outlaw
agents. Some of these reports have
been denied and the players even
have been quoted as favoring the
third league idea, giving the impress
sion that money talks and that they
were swaved by its subtle eloquence.
Recently the names of Joe Benz. RAY
Demmitt, Russell Blackburne and Reb
Russell also were linked with gossip
OF Federal league overtures in which
these men were said to be tempted
by much gold to sever their business

served to add fuel to the flames and
cause furry of excitement among
friends of the old Roman For a time
1T seemed as though the Sox I1agnate
might lose his whole ball club.
Chase did Jump, but a reaction set
in on the south side, and today Co
miskey is said to have nearly every
player signed to a binding contract.
Furthermore, the Sox players seem to
have undergone change of heart. If
they had Federal league leanings,
these apparently have been wiped
away by persuasion. argument and a
showdown by the Sox owner and man

Sign Long Term Contracts
Weaver, Scott and Benz are said to
have signed long contracts to play
for Comiskey. and to have gone on
record that they purposed giving the
Old Roman their best services during
the life of their contracts.
Ray Demmitt. who had dickered
with the Feds, admits he has signed
to play with Comiskey and that he is
heart and soul in the game for the
Sox and their owner. Jimmy Scot
virtually admitted that he had signed,
as did Joe Benz, but both were eva

from another source, however, that
the trio had signed contracts to play
for the White Sox and that these doc
uments were to the liking of all con-
cerned..
