AMATEUR SPORTS
SUFFER AS RESULT
OF EUROPEAN WAR
Events Which Had At
tracted Worldwide Inter
est Are Now Almost En-
tirely Lost Sight Of.

New York, Aug 15.-A striking Illus
tration of the international character
of amateur sport is afforded by the
situation that has developed as a re-
suit of the war in Europe. Early in
the season there was every reason for
the belief that 1914 would be the great
est year in the history of competition.
With the unexpected conflict abroad in
ternational contests of all kinds have
been cancelled and may not be resum-
ed for months or even years.
on this side of the Atlantic the
Americas Cup race is the most i'm
portant event to be postponed but other
competitions viii lose the foreign en-
tries that were expected. The amateur
and open golf championships and the
national tennis tournament will be
without foreign entrants since even
the Davis cup teams now in this coun-
try plan to leave for home as soon as
the challenge round is completed.
Abroad the Harmsworth motorboat
contest and the international aviation
races at Rheims are off as we'll as all
the various national championships Of
the European countries.
The result of the war from an ath-
letic and sporting standpoint may be
greater for it is likely to upset events
scheduled for several years to come.
The Sender boat races at Kiel in 1915
and the Olympic games at Berlin in
1916 are no longer assured fixtures.
Athletic authorities both in America
and abroad realize that if the present
war continues for any extended period
Germany will not be in a position to
act as host to the Olympic teams, En-
tries from all the European countries
will be greatly curtailed If not aban-
doned entirely and 1t may be neces-
sary to postpone the games or trans
fer the meet to some nation not involv-
ed in the clash Of arms.
In commenting on this angle of the
present unsettled state of affairs ath-
letic James F. Sullivan, secretary of
the American Olympic committee said
"Of course its looking a long ways
ahead to attempt to predict the effect
of the war abroad on the Olympic
games Of 1915. Personally I hope that
Europe will be at peace again before
that time and that there will be no need
of a change in the program. If, how
ever, shift is necessary the United
States is the logical country in which
to hold the games and the American
committee will carry out the schedule
as planned by Germany without a
hitch of any kind. We have available
stadiums in many parts of the country
several of which are capable of seat
ing from forty to sixty thousand spec
tators. Should it prove desirable to
postpone the Panama Pacific Exposi-
ton planned for San Francisco next

AUSTRALIANS LEAD IN
BATTLE FOR DAVIS CUP

New York. Aug. 15.-With the Aus
tralasian team leading two to one for
the possession of the Dwight Davis cup
and the 1914 worlds team champion
ship on the tennis court, Maurice E.
Mclaughlin and r. Norris Williams II,
representing the defenders, faced today
the difficult task of overcoming this
lead by taking both matches in the final
singles.
American followers of the game who
have witnessed the matches thus far
in the challenging round expressed the
opinion that the defenders chances of
retaining the famous cup In this coun-
try another year depended largely on
the ability of Williams to come back
after his slump of Thursday and de-
feat Norman f. Brookes. Little doubt
was expressed that Mclaughlin could
repeat his performance of Thursday
against Brookes and win from Anthony
F. Wilding If the championship de-
pended on his efforts.

Boxing throughout Europe is at a
standstil owing to the war and the
knights of the glove have exchanged
their padded weapons for those of
far more dangerous character. In
France alone several score of the pro-
fessional boxers are serving with the
army and the most illustrous example
being Georges Carpenter. The recent
ring victories of the French middle
weight over both Bombardier Wells
and Gunboat Smith caused European
critics to predict worlds championsh p
honors for Carpenter. Should he be
killed or injured in action his loss
would be keenly felt in pugilistic circles
for even the English ring authorities
predict a promising career for him as
can be seen from the following extract
from a review of his bout with Smith
Thought the result of the boring
contest between Carpenter and Gun
boat Smith was very unsatisfactory
from one point of view, there is very
little doubt that If the contest had con-
tinued Carpenter would either have
won easily on points or would have
finished his man before the tenth
round. The Frenchman had science,
pace and precision, and all of them
had been improved since he last APP
peared. With qualities such as these,
he was easily able to deal with a man
whose chief assets were strength and
endurance The rapier will nearly al
ways win against the broadsword We
shall always look forward to seeing
Carpenter In the ring again. His
fierce vitality. his swift intelligence,
his flaming courage, present a COM
bination of some of the finest qualities
which boxing has ever evolved in its
best exponents.'

The sessions were under the direction
OF Rev. G. A. Boyd, the State Secretary,
assisted by Mrs. Edith B. Wright, Field
Secretary. The parts taken by these,
together with the various topics on the
program by local parties made up very
interesting days work for the sunday
School cause in this county. The evening
address by Rev. Mr.. Boyd on "The Other
Wise Man." was especially good.
These are the officers for the ensuing
year:-President, T. j. Stewart of Nor
risvile; Vice President, i. H. Lewis of
Hyde Park; Honorary Vice Presidents,
the district Presidents; Secretary, Miss
r. Louise Slocum of Morrisville; Treas

Convention Notes

The County Committee organized by
electing T. c. Cheney Chairman and W.
E. Tracey Secretary.
Chairman Parker's speech was a good
one-made decidedly spicy with that
laughable fish story.
There was something very pathetic in
venerable comrade, Col. Sawyer, to the
platform.
HE blamed the Democracy for every
thing except intantile paralysis" says a
well known Democrat, who was a locker.
on at the convention, in speaking of the
chairmans speech.
Henry Hall, a delegate from Elmore,
lost his watch and announcement of that
was made from the convention platform.
1t being a Republican convention Henry
soon recovered the watch, but it must be
stated that Democrat found it and re-
turned it to him.
The Editor of this paper would be very
ungrateful if he failed to express his sin.
cere thanks to his friends for the support
they gave him in seeking the nomination
for Probate Judge And while he extends
thanks he has nothing but the best of
good will for those who were opposed to
him.
In "the olden times" delegates came to
the county conventions by team or train.
Last Friday but one delegate to the con-
vention came on the train from the west
and not more than two or three from
the east About all came by auto and
lined up in front of the Inn were seven
teen machines, with several in the rear
and other places. The auto has come
to stay"
The nominee for Senator, Mr.. Thomas,
was not at the convention, being detain
ed at home by illness. However, he was
)mmunicated with by telephone by the
committee at the noon recess and they
reported to the convention on re-assem-
bling in the afternoon that he thanked
the Republicans of the county for the
honor conferred upon him, and if elected
he would serve the party and the people
OF the county to the best of his ability.
