Turks Near War, Belief of Powers.

Washington, Aug. 27.-Tension is so
acute in Constantinople that diplomats
there fear Turkey may at any moment
be drawn into the general European
war on the side of Germany and Aus
tria. A strict censorship has been
placed on the newspapers in Turkey,
which are now controlled by the mil
tary authorities and are being used,
according to diplomatic dispatches
here, to create strong pro-German
feeling. The Turkish Cabinet is wa,

and the preservation of neutrality.
The diplomatic representatives of the
various powers are in constant confer
ence with the government officials.
Great Britain and Russia are endeav-
oring to keep Turkey neutral.

The year now fading out was i'll
starred for champions of the boxing
world. No fewer than three went down
to defeat at the hands of opponents
who were either more skillul or more
fortunate. Willie Richie, who had
only begun to enjoy the fruits of the
lightweight title he tore from the
brow of AID Wolgast, was soundly
trounced by Freddie Welsh in London,
and Johnny Coulon, of Chicago, who
for years ruled the ranks Of the ban
tamweight fighters, was knocked out
in a couple of rounds by kid" Will
Jams, from Baltimore. George Chip,
Of Newcastle, Penn, generally recog-
nized as the real champion of the
middleweights, was beaten by Al Nc
Coy, of Brooklyn, with one punch.
If the middleweight championship
rests in insecure hands, not even tho
most captious critic can detract from
the fame of kid" Williams, the new
bantam king. Williams is the greatest
little man since the day of Terrible"
Terry McGovern. He has ali the ag-
gressiyeness of McGovern and in addi-
tion can box cleverly. Since winning
the title ne has continued TO give of
his best. and, once in the ring, fights
for the sheer JOY of fighting. Mccoy
has been whipped several times in no
decision contests in this city. and has
never shown the faintest glimmer of
championship ability.
Freddie Welsh has been the busiest
champion of the lot. He has gone
about the country meeting many Of

Horace Boucher and his confreres OF
the regatta committee, Enrol Kerr and
Harry Maxwell, held two special races
for the cup defence yachts Resolute
and Vanitie. The races were sailed on
June 6 and 80 and the prize was the
Fletcher Cup. The Vanitie won both
races and captured the prize. On July
4 ll2 yachts started in the Larchmont
annual race, eighty-seyen in the spring
race and sixty-three in the fall re-
gatta.
Great interest was displayed by both
races of the three sloops built for the
Resolute. designed and built by the
Herreshoffs for a syndicate of officers
and former officers of the New York
Yacht Club. and the Vanitie, designed
by William Gardner and built by Law
ley e. Son for Alexander Smith Coch-
ran, started in nineteen races. The
Resolute won thirteen and the Vani-
tie six. The Defiance, designed by
George Owen and built by the Bath
Iron Works for a syndicate Of Phila-
delphia. Boston and New York yachts
men, started in eleven races. She was
third in eight, second in one, disabled
in one, and she did not finish in one.
The Resolute, racing Oft Newport on
Aston Cup day, August 4, won a spe-
cial cup offered by Captain Vincent
Aston, she not being eligible 70 sail
for the regular Aston Cup.
Considering ~ curtailment on ac-
count of the war. the cruise Of the
New York Yacht Club was a successful
one, from racing point of view.
Twenty-eight yachts started in the
first squadron run from Glen Cove TO
Smithtown Bay, thirty in the second
run TO New London and twenty-eight
in the third, from New London 10
Newport. The runs to Vineyard Hs.
ven and back from Newport for the
cups offered by Commodore Pratt and
Vice-Commodore Baker were cut out
on account of the war, as was the race
for the Kings Cup, for which nine
entries were received.
The Seawanhaka Corinthian, the Ind
ian Harbor, the American, the New Ro-
chelle, the Stamford, the Manhasset
Bay and the Harlem Yacht clubs all
had successful races during the sea-
son. while down the Bay the Atlantic
Yacht Club started thirteen interesting
races, including the six OF race week"
There were 232 starters in all the
classes. and 1903 prizes were distributed.
The motor boat season proved par
ticularly interesting one for lovers OF
that branch of the sport The war cut
short the preparations for the interna-

compensated for that loss.

Johnson defended his title once last

fwenty-round bout in Paris. Some
nasty rumors were circulated after this
contest. Just at present Johnson Is

this class is improving with time.
There are several men who are mount
