DENNIS DEATH
HURT YACHTING

America lost the most famous of
all its racing shippers in the death
on Thursday of Capt. William Dennis
at his home in Greenport, L. 1. AS a
skipper of racing schooners Dennis
had no peer and his record in win
ming the Aston Cup for schooners five
times as master of F. K. Brewster's
Elmina will probably stand for many
years
Capt. Dennis knew the racing
grounds of New England better than
any other man, and his knowledge
combined with his skill in sailing his
craft brought many trophies to own
ers. He was one of the few pro-
fessional shippers who brooked no
interference from an owner, for when
he stood on the quarter deck his
word was law.
In 1914, when Sir Thomas Upton
challenged for the Americas Cup,
Dennis was selected to sail the Card
ner-destGned sloop Vanitie in the
trial races. For various reasons he
did not find himself at home in the
big sioop and was not successful with
her
Dennis was a native of Shelter ISL
and and spent his life in Greenport
With the late Charles Barr, who's
birthplace was in Scotland. he was
one of the most picturesque figures
in American yachting.

bad TASTE" LITTLE EXCUSE FOR
ACTION, SAY OFFICERS OF ARMY

Yale, Harvard and Princeton aban-
doned intercollegiate athletics at the
start of the war-that the students
had then desired it, and nearly all
thought bad taste" that all their
athletes had gone into service to-
gether with most men over 2t, and
that they had courses in military
training.
But these officers argued that other
colleges, as hard hit in every way,
had gone ahead with their athletic
programs, and that at their canton
ment some reasonably efficient elcvens
had been developed in the face of a
much more rigorous schedule than
any college man faced.
Judgment leads one to believe that
the result Of the war upon sport at
Yale, Harvard and Princeton will be,
as with other colleges, a tremendous
one. intercollegiate athletics will go
ahead much as before but with more
and more attention paid to intra-
mural sport, or sport for all, simply
because the youth of the land will
demand it. The present reform
movement will aid in gaining the one
point-sport for all. 1t will be curb
ed in so far as its effect upon inter-
collegiate sport is concerned just as
| soon as the war is over and alumni!
can give active attention to the mat
ter. AS it is none too many gradu-
ates of these institutions favor the
present attitude in the matter OF
sport. AS one of them put it, eve
tried to get away with a big thing
and we failed"

SPEAKER MAKES
ADMIRER HAPPY

They think as much of Iris Speaker
worlds greatest outfielder, up in New
Hampshire as they do in Cleveland,
Boston or Texas-or at least one small
boy does. Iris, with a bunch of the
Red SoX, visited the Draper Maynard
camp on 'Squam lake after the Car
rigan team had vanquished the Phil
lies in 1915. There was a woman
there who was helping cook and clean
up.
The ever restless Spoke had to do
something that helped, so he assisted
in washing the dishes.
Said woman had a small son who
had been feeling pretty bad because
one little boy chum of his had some
pictures of the worlds greatest out
fielder, and when he heard that his
mother was going to camp to cook for
the party of which Speaker was
member, he said:
| well, mamma, when Charley says
anything more about having pictures
of Mr.. Speaker, I am going to tell him
that my mamma is going over to
| cook Mr.. Speakers dinner"
| Spoke heard of this remark and it
pleased him so he dug up picture
of himself, got a ball and autograph
ed it and then hunted up his youth
full, and previously unknown admirer
and gave it to him.

CONSECUTIvEHIT
HONOR TO SISLER

Statistician Irwin M. Howe delves
into his records of the past season
and informs the baseball world that
George Sisler was the American league
batter to make the longest run of
consecutive 'thit' games in 1917.
George ran IS games in a row, DUR
ing which he made one or more blows.
This stretch of swatting carried from
August II to September S. But George
also had an earlier run of q games,
starting this lesser iamboree June 30,
and having finished it by Carl Mays,
of Boston. july IS.
This same pitcher, Mays, of Boston,
deserves medal or some other token
of honor from Ty Cobb, for if it
hadn't been for him Sisler might have
continued his batting spree and at
least equaled Cobb's seasons record
OF 50 games. For right after beiAe
cropped without blow, George be-
gar welding his bat with deadly fe-.
rocity again and ran up Is more games
before being held without a hit after
the game of August 2.
SO Mays at least stopped Sfsler from
/ run of So games. If George had
only made tkat hit-it seems that that
| little tvo-lettered word had a great
deal to do with Sisler.
But for that "if' the versatile
Brownie might have hung up the ua-
heard-of IS consecutive contests in
which he CLEANED one or moro swzts.
IF he had made three little hits, one
on July IS, another August and an
other August Ii, George now would
be hailed as the willow WELDING wiz

CLEARING HOUSE
FOR FASTENERS

With many minor leagues going
out of business and scores of ball
players thrown, out of employment,
clearing house." through which
players and leagues needing their
services can be put in touch seems
to be a great idea. Such a plan is
proposed by Billy Doyle, now scout
club, though just on what basis he
intends to operate it is not made
clear. Another suggestion for such
a plan, made by a minor league man
ager, is that the National Associa-
ton, through its headquarters at
Auburn, N. Y, should operate such a
clearing house for baseball, putting
/ clubs and players in touch. The idea
is that Secretary Farrell, in his Off
cial bulletins, might list players who
are free agents, giving their adj
dresses, so that clubs wishing talent
could communicate with such players.
Such a plan would have official
sanction and could be put in opera
| ton at slight expense and that small
cost doubtless could be arranged by
| the charge of a. nominal fee from
players registering. Since the official
| bulletins issued by Secretary Farrell
go to all clubs in the minor league
organization, managers could learn
through them of the status of players
seeking employment, secure their ad-
dresses and at once get in communi-
cation with them.
