Brooklyn Handicaps Western
Teams by Not Playing on Sunday.

BALTIMORE, March 24.-When the d.
rectors of the Federal League met this
morning to go over the playing dates ar
ranged by the schedule committee 1t
was expected that the spirit of co-opera-
ton that prevailed at yesterdays sessions
would result in speedy action upon the

President R. E. Ward of the Brooklyn
club came out emphatically against his
team playing Sunday base ball. and the
schedule makers arranged the dates in
the west accordingly.
."rhe ball players must work the same
as the banker to maintain their standard
and to improve in efficiency said Mr..
Ward. IF they fall behind they are
dropped. That's why they should have
their rest as any one else. I'm not
straight-laced, but l do believe in proper
observance of Sunday, and because of my
belief my players will have the same re-
lief from duty"

Americans Active in Forties.

After Shudlha's invention in 1900 not
much was done in the construction of
centerboard boats for thirty or forty
years. but between 1910 and 1850 the
Americans began building fast center
board sloops, capsizable boats with very
shallow draught. and when in 1851 the
great victory Of the schooner America at
Cowes-she was not a centerboard yacht
but a model of a New York pilot boat

AS TO CENTERbOARD
English Yacht Authority Says
Device Was British Invention.
SHAMROCK " TO USE ONE
General Belief Has Been That This
Style Of Boat Belongs to
This Country.

NEW YORK. March 23-The announce
ment that Sir Thomas Lipton's cup chal-
lenger Shamrock w will be equipped
with centerboard has renewed the old
controversy as to whether this feature OF
the modern yacht was an American or
European invention. An English yacht
ing authority in an article on the sub.
ject summarizes as follows:
The centerboard was invented. or
rather adapted. from some form Of lee
board by Capt. Schank Of the British
navy some time prior to It'll Perhaps
it is because Capt. schank built center
board boat at Boston, Mass, in 1771, for
Earl Percy. afterward Duke Of Northum-
berland, that the centerboard has come
to be regarded as an American invention
The Illustration of this boat is the Oldest
authentic record Of the sliding keel. The
sliding or lifting keel or centerboard,
which Capt Schank fitted to Earl Percy's
boat, was long rectangular board, which
extended for about three-quarters of the
length of the keel Of the boat In 1888
Capt. Schank induced the admiralty to
build a centerboard boat. or rather a
small centerboard vessel. for she was a
cutter sixty feet long, Of twenty feet
beam and six feet six inches draught Of
water. This craft was called the Trial
instead OF having one long board like
the first boat built at Boston, she had
three centerboards, one amidships and
one at each end.
Not American Invention.
The centerboard. which many years
afterWard became popular in America,
and which, it is true, has been much
more closely associated with American
yachting than British, was not shaped
like Schank's invention, but was TRAN
gular below the waterfall is to say,
instead of dropping equally fore and aft
the board was pivoted at the fore end
through the keel and the after end only
was dropped, so that when the board
was down it formed a triangle below
water. This, then. is the so-called Amer
lean centerboard. 1t was not, however,
invented by an American, but. like the
first centerboard was the invention of
British naval officer. Capt. Shuldham.
R. n, invented this centerboard in 1909,
while he was a prisoner of war at YER
dun. a fortress on the northeast frontier
of France. on the river Mouse. Capt.
Shuldham made a model Of his center
board while in prison and ttted it to
model boat, which he also constructed.
and the plate was made of lead, which,
of course, for the period was res lily ex-
traordinary. 1t scarcely differs from the
centerboards Of the present day. The
Shamrock centerboard, therefore, can
hardly claim to owe its origin to trans
atlantic naval architecture.

It would be a great boost for Rivers
if he should happen to stop the British

the case, however, I doubt if a shrewd
fellow like Pollock would allow Freddy
to take on such a tough proposition as
Rivers. It looks to me, If Freddy is
on the down grade, Pollock, as a good
business man, would devote his efforts
solely to the big cleanup that battle
with Richie for the worlds title
would surely bring him. defeat by
