splendid reputation.
AS nearly as can be asccrtaine0,
he left his house between six and
seven o'clock, taking the two boys,
a hatchet and a scythe preparatory
to doing some clearing in the woods
on his little farm. About that time

NAVY PREPARING FOR
BIG FOOTBALL GAME
Washington Polo Grounds Will Prob
ably Be Scene of Battle This
Year.

Annapolis, Nd, Aug 15.-The ath-
letic authorities of the naval acade-
my are not quite certain that the foot
ball game between the teams of the
Army and Navy training schools will
be played in Washington on November
20. Information received here makes
it practically certain that the Wash
ington Polo grounds, near the white
house, will be put in shape for the
game, and that a sufficient number of
seats will be arranged.
Under an agreement between the
service schools, covering the season
and the following nine seasons, each
will pick the place for playing in
alternate years, so that it is not north
of New York or south of Washing
ton. 1t is therefore very probable
that the games will be played in those
places during the life of the agree
ment.
Friends of the navy team are look
ing forward to the season with some
apprehension, as the larger part Of
the team men graduated this year.
Lieutenant Jonas H. Ingram will be
chief coach, and work will be begun
with the new fourth class about Sep

TO WREST TITLE
FROM Sir. Upton
Postponement of Races for
Americas Cup Brings
on More Talk

New York, Aug. 15.-There is a
we'll defined feeling here that the
owners of the three American yachts
which contest the honor of defending
the America cup should not make any
pronounced changes in their boats
now, as this would be unsportsmanlike
and unfair to Sir Thomas Upton.
1t has been said that the postpone
ment of the races for the America s
cup will enable the owners of the
three defenders which were built to
make some radical changes in their
forms before the races are sailed. The
Defiance was kept out of the trials
sailed during the cruise of the New
York Yacht club because the changes
necessary to make her success were
SO many and SO extensive that they
could not be made in time. It was
planned to step the mast further aft
This meant new mast step. Then
the yacht was to be rugged with q
bowsprit, a longer boom and a shorter
mast and topmast This, to, meant
new suits and sails. 1t had also been
suggested that the lead should be TAX
en- off and recast. SO that the weight
could be placed much lower, as it is
on the Resolute and Vanitie.
It has also been suggested that the
Vanitie could be made many minutes
faster II about Ave feet over her cuuti
ter we're cut off, the rail removed and
the weight, probably two tons, placed
on the. yachts forefoot. This would
hold her bow down more steadily and
give her a better grip on the water
when sailing in rough sea with only
light wind.
Whether these changes will be made
is not known. Some yachtsmen think
It would be unfair to the challenger
to make any radical changes in the
forms of the defenders They were
built to race against the Shamrock
at certain time. and the fast that
the races are not to be sailed on time
is NO fault Of Sif Thomas Upton. He
might wish to make some big changes
In his Shamrock w., but could not
do SO with the yacht in this country.
These yachtsmen think that the best
arrangement to be lnxde is to let the
challenger aud defender lay up on this
side, of the Atlantic for the winter
and then, when the dates for the post
poned series are set, let each yacht
be put into commission.
The challenger can then be tuned
tlb In these waters. and the Reso-
lute ann vanitie can night It out .l.lin
trials. to See which yacht shall be
selected to defend the cup.

gator, says that the Vanitie is several
minutes faster now than she was ear
ly in the season and If she is not Sc
lected to defend the cup she has full
filled her mission and forced the
Resolute to sail much faster than she
would hav sailed had there been no
good trial yacht. While the Vanitie
has improved, the Resolute has i'm
proved, too, so there seems no renew
ed hope for the Cochran yacht. The
Resolute is at her best in light winds

when the wind is strong enough to
