YACHTSMEN TO Be
OUT In FORCE AT
MEETING TONIGHT
Delaware River Yacht Rae.
ing Association Officials ia
Arrange Plans for Big Af-
fairs Next Year.

Yachtsmen from this section Of IN.
ing at the monthly meeting Of the Del
aware River Yacht Racing Association
at the Bingham House. Judging from
the reports circulated, the meeting IA
sure to be lively one. The first mat
ter which will come up before the as.
sembly will be concerning the rumored
break in the association.
According to the statement of a prom
inent yachtsman, the clubs which an-
| tend to form the Delaware River Yacht
Club League have been dissatisfied with
the working Of the Delaware r. Y. r,
A. during the past four months of rac-
ing. The clubs proposing to make UP
| the new league are situated between
| Trenton and Camden. 1t Is also re-
! ported that a club from Chester and
one from Essington will join the new
| association.
II is the intention of the promoters Of
| the new league to run series of races
| during the coming season and to apply
| 10 the American Power Boat Association
| for recognition. They will ask for sanc-
| toned championship races. 1t Is UP to
the officials of the A. P. B. A to de-
| eide the best way to deal with the ques-
| ton.
Another question which will come UP
befOre the gathering VIII 10 IhaI Con-
cerning the best way to work In har-
mony with the clubs affiliated with the
South Jersey Yacht Racing Association.
DdT1ng the past season several boats
from this vicinity travelled to the shores
OF South Jersey and competed In race
meets The owners of craft from the
Jersey clubs did not return the courtesy.
The title of champion which Is award
ed by the Regatta Committee OF the
Ar,erican Power Boat Association, will
be discussed. According to one of the
yachtmen who is interested in racing, the
title does not mean much at present. 1t
is contended that the title should be
given to the winners in each division
of the different classes.

COLLINS TO LEAD
YANKEES? THIS
IS NEWS TO HIM
New York Reports That
Mack May Sell Eddie to

sacker Surprised.

II there is a plan on foot between the
Athletics and the New York Yankees TO
sentence Eddie Collins 10 the managerial
chair OF the latter club in exchange for
players and money the deal Is being put
through without the knowledge Of Con-
nies second baseman- This morning
when told that his name had been men
toned in connection with the Yankees
for next season, Collins said: Il have
never heard Of this before. didn't see
anything about it in the papers and
don't know any more about IT than you
do"
Those were the only remarks that Ed
die would vouchsafe on the subject He
would not say that he would absolutely
refuse an offer. because there Is no
doubt that any man in baseball win ac-
cept most any position il the financial
erd Of the proposition looks good 10 him
II appears that IN some way the rumor
began in New York regarding Collins
According 20 this rumor Collins was 10
be sent TO manage the Yankees. He was
10 be sold by Connie Mack for sum OF
money plus some inhelders
This, according 70 the New York re-
port Is the first OF a series Of retrench-
ment steps which Connie Mack is about
70 make. II Is a known fact that Col
Inns has a long. high-priced contract with
the Athletics. This, coupled with the
alleged statement by the local American
League Club, that they lost money this
year seems 70 be the basis Of the re
trenchment' story

FRANCIS OUIMET
TO APPEAR HERE
IN SPRING TEST
Has Announced His Inten-
ton of Coming to This City
to Take Part in One of the
Big Tournaments.

Francis Ouimet will visit Philadelphia
next spring. OF course no arrangements
have been made so far as to what
course or courses he will play over, but
it is not at all improbable that he will
visit Merton Huntingdon Valley and
Whitemarsh, provided he can spare the
time. Few Philadelphians have had an
opportunity OF seeing Oumet play and
his presence here is sure to prove a big
attraction.
II did not take long for Mrs. Ronald
H. Barlow to take her revenge on Mrs
+. H. Filter for beating her in the Ber-
thelyn cup last month. In the fnal
round OF the invitation tournament at
the Philadelphia Cricket Club she de-
feated Mrs. Fitler up and to play.
However. Mrs. Filter proved that she is
playing the best golf of her career this
season, despite the fact that she has
been suffering from neuritis. Three
missed puts told the story yesterday
but in other respects there was little to
choose between them.
Last weeks rain came as a blessing TO
green keepers and il made golf much
more like golf than il has been for sew
eral weeks Players who were driving
between 200 and 300 yards have to be
content with a much shorter distance
now, and the moderate golfer, who
was making remarkably low scores for
him. has returned to his old ways.

Yesterday was not a very profitable
one for the members Of the Interacademio

schools that took part in games, Epis-

Swarthmore Prep, 10 10 0; Penn Charter
was tied by st. Luke's, to z, while
Germantown Academy was barely able to
dispose OF the crippled Radnor High
eleven, l6 10 l3. This was the nearest
Penn Charter has come TO a defeat this
season, having disposed Of Cheltenham
Prep In order. on form, Merritt's team
should have won the game, but they
were fairly outplayed after the first half,
when GuyeT scored a touchdown after
catching a forward pass. After this, the
Quakers had few chances to score. while
ST, Luke's, battling for every inch. finally
tied up the count late in the game. After
holding a lead OF l6 points at the end OF
the third period, Germantown went to
pieces in the final quarter and were all
but beaten by Radnor High. The whistle
ending the game came to their aid after
the visitors had scored 10 points Judg-
ing from yesterdays game this win be
lean year for Episcopal The Churchmen
have been showing none too good form all
season, but the Swarthmore reverse is
all the more crushing in view Of the fact
that Penn Charter easily defeated this
team few weeks ago.
Much was expected OF Stephenson. the

badly on the final turn around the hill,

systematically called 'war.
Three nations could not hope to
crush three equally great pations-
might crush one on the land and the
other be victorious on the sea, but in
a conflict with half the European
world on each side the nations would
simply burn, FIRE and slay each
other until all alike we're weak. The
thing would have to end in a confer
ence to settle the balance of power.
If it must so end, Great God why
not begin with the conference and
have no war at ALP
