Commodore Jarvis, one of Lipton's yachting advisers.
 Speaking of the precaution taken by Captain Burton of Shamrock in taking in his top sail, Commodore Jarvis said:
 "1t was good judgment on Mir. Bur tons part to take in Shamrock's club sail, as at this stage of the race it was impossible to work off her time handicap without an accident happen ing to Resolute.

Whats the secret of being a success full scout?" was fired at Dick Kinsella, Ivory hunter of the Giants, who has been combing the bushes for 15 years.
 No secret-just luck and some com mon sense" he replied. Lots of times a scout just misses grabbing star youngster by an hour or two. In every hick town there's some fan who thinks he knows baseball talent. Whenever he spots kind on the local team who looks good he shoots out letters to about every big league club in the circuit. He isn't particular as to which team grabs the kid All he wants is to see the kid get . job.
 "Of course, all of those letters aren' taken seriously by big league teams. If they were. they'd have to have about 50 scouts to cover the territory But when the writer shows by his letter that he knows quite bit about baseball, and the qualifications necessary for potential big leaguer we give his communication some consideration.
 It's the same when letters come from managers in the smaller leagues-or from baseball writers. We judge the worth of a ball player sometimes by the ability of the writer or manager to pick 'em.
 Ut may happen that letter comes to our club while | m far Off. The letter tells about a phenom in some small town In the same mail letter reaches an other club which happens to have it's scout nearby. Naturally, hell beat me there If the player looks great, that scout will grab him. And there you are. That's luck
 MUST HAVE SPEED
 This question was put to kinselIa;
 What is the first requisite of player what must he show you first of all when you are considering him?'
 "Speed-speed," was the reply. With out speed no player can be great, not even a pitcher.
 Do you mean that slow footed pitch CT with a great arm is given but little consideration
 Sure" replied Kinsella For, after all. what good is a great pitching arm if the fellow falls over his own feet? The other team would bunt him to death, Either that pitcher would have to strike out the side in every inning or get beat en- For all the other fellows would need to do would be to roll the ball down his way and sprint to first They'd be there credited with single-before he'd be able to lumber in and pick it up. Show me boy with speed-one who has a great pair of legs-and I'll show you the one who has a mighty good chance to break into the big show, pro- vided. of course, that he has fielding
