BRITONS BUILDING MANY YACHTS TO
 RACE AMERICANS
Tryouts of Yankee Boats to Take Place in Sound at End of
 Month.

The four six-metrc yachts building to race against four British-built yachts of similar dimensions off Cowes, England, next August, are now being tuned up and will be sail ing races in the Sound before the end of this month. These four yachts are owned by members of the Sea wanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club of Oyster Bay.
 To defend the prize against the American invasion the British yachts men have had I2 new boats built and about as many older craft will com pete with the new yachts in the elim mating trials which are to decide which four shall meet the visitors.
 One of the yachts building on the other side of the Atlantic is for John Parkinson and Robert w. Emmons, 2d Mr. Emmons was the managing owner of the Resolute, the winner of the last series of races for the Amer ica's cup, and John Parkinson was one of the amateurs who helped to sail that yacht. The six-metre boat which these two Americans will handel has been built from designs by William Fife, at the famous Fair lie yard.
 These two yachtsmen are very clever small boat sailors and 1t would be strange if the British should de feat the four American members of the challenging team through the efforts of two American yachtsmcn.
 This series of races Is the first of what will probably become an an nual fixture. This year Americans visit the British, and if the plans as now arranged are carried out, the British are to come to this side of the Atlantic next year with yachts built to race in either Class K or Class $ under the American rule of measurement and classification

CARPENTER GETS WARM WELCOME ON
 HIS ARRIVAL HERE
French Champ Goes Right Into Training for Big Battle on
 July ?.

New York, May 2o.-Confident Of victory in his coming battle tor the worlds heavyweight championship, Georges Carpentier, challenger Ot Jack Dempsey, arrived here Tuesday to begin training for the 1nternat1on- al bout
 The Frenchman, who disembarked from the French steamer La Savole, did not go directly to his training camp at Manhasset, Long Island, as he had planned, but spent the night in the city.
 Carpenter ate lunch with George l.. (Tex) Rickard, immediately after landing at noon. They discussed de tails concerning the staging ot the battle. The French boxers cont- dence of defeating Dempsey was ap,, parent when he inquired of R1ckard if a suitable American challenger would be available within six months after the Jersey City battle II he won. Rickard assured Carpenter that several American heavyweights were being developed in such an event Carpenter declared that if he won, he would be glad to return to America to defend the title.
 The Frenchman at his usual fight ing weight of I75 pounds, said he IS in excellent condition. He has been training throughout the winter. For the first week at Manhasset, the work will be comparatively light. Alter that, more rigorous program will be adopted, with Joe Jeanette, the negro heavyweight, directing the statt of sparring partnesr.
 Some day next week Rickard will accompany Carpenter to the site ot the arena in Jersey City, where the Frenchman will get his first glimpse of the scene of the coming contest. Dempsey, in company with Rlckard, will view the ring site two or three days later
 Carpenter was greeted enthuslasti- cally wherever he went. Several thousand persons waited for hours near the entrance of the steamship pier to greet him. Carpenter, smil- ing his thanks for the reception, had difficulty making his way to the wait ing automobile. Through it all, he retained his grip on the leash which held in check the big black Belgian police dog, his constant companion. Included in the crowd were many fel- low-countrymen of Carpenter, who shouted encouragement i'll their ma tive tongue.
 Although the public will not be per nitted to witness Carpenter in train ing the work will not be secret. Man ager Descamps announced that news Dapermen would be admitted at any time.

Sport Notes


Over in England the British fstic critics seem to be of the opinion that many of the American fight follow CTS arc not taking Carpenter serious ly enough. They believe he is a bet ter fighter than thought and that he may prove big surprise to the Tiger man when they get together in the ring.
 Stan Zbyszko and Strangler Lewis are hurling dehs at one another, so no doubt before long they will be mingling again on the mat. Lewis cannot understand how the big Pole was ever able to throw him in such a kind of a fuke, Already Kansas City, Denver and many of the Vest crn cities are after the contest.
 Every sport follower should get be- hind the campaign that is now be- ing Waged to have the 10 per cent. war tax on sporting goods repealed. The tax is hindrance to the de vclopment of sport, especially among the boys of the nation. It IS tax on the play of the boy. The wealthy sportsman does not mind the tax but the kid does. The tax has eliminated the cheaper grades of sporting goods from the market, and when 1t is con Sidered that 70 per cent. of sporting goods are sold to boys under IS years of age, anyone can see the hardship involved
 Lafayette has been admitted into the intercollegiate seeker league.
 Lewis head hold is probably the squeeze play" of wrestling.
 Johnny Wilson, as the middleweight crown wearer, is about as popular as a lot of foreign kings have been.
 Frank Zotti, IT,, and c. H. Lewis have been respectively elected captains of boxing and wrestling teams at the Naval academy.
 When Coach Bob Fisher of Harvard surveyed the Springfield football prac tce he said "I see we need some line men from somewhere"
 Coach James A. Ten Eyck of the Syracuse crews reports he has the smallest squad in years. Gus Rami, the big stroke oar, is back in the boat.
 Walter Eberhardt, twenty-two, has been selected captain of the Colum- bia University swimming team. Ralph Cooper, twenty-twO, was chosen leader of the polo team.
 The Harvard summer school has added classes in athletics to it's cur riculum. Each sporting activity will be in charge of a teacher. The school opens July 5 and ends August Il.

WALTER JOHNSON TO
 COME BACK IN 1921
Washinqton HurIer Claims Arm
 Is Strong Again.
LOSS of Fast Ball Pitcher Kept Crit fith's Men Out of First Division Last Year-Record Has Been
 Sensational.

Walter Johnson, the human ma- chinegun of Clark Griffith's gunning corps for more than ten years, is con- ing back strong in 1921.
 This is the threat of the greatest fast-ball pitcher that ever wore glove, after having been forced to lay aside the uniform in the early part Of 1920, due to cold contracted in the muscles of his gun-arm.
 The blow of losing Walter Johnson sent the Senators down to the bottom of the pile at the moment when 1t ap- peared as though Griffith might finish in the first division. It was shortly after the famous pitcher had hurled the first no-hit, nO-run game of his entire career against the Boston Red SOx that he contracted the a1lment which finished him for the year.
 The arm of the pitching king be- came weak and he lost the terrific speed that for years terrOrized Ameri- can league sluggers. He tried treat 1nents of all varieties, but none of them seemed to have the desired ef- feet Finally Johnson went to Roches- ter, where his arm was treated for several weeks. He was told to take long rest and he followed instructions.
 Now King Walter is ready for the ball once more, according to his own belief.
 Jehnson's record with the Washing ton club has been sensational in every respect. For years Griffith has been struggling along with a mediocre out fit that never was better than second division material.
 In 1910 Johnson startled fandom by winning 25 games with one of the poorest teams in the league. Since

 The fast-ball king is one of the most popular pitchers i'll major league ball. For years he has been an idol of the enthusiasts in every American league city. They marVeled at his great hurling and in turn went into ecsta- sies of delight when the home club managed to beat him.

Will Not Stand for
Telephone Rate Raise

A number of citizens, some of
whom are business men, congregated
in the court yard on Tuesday, were
discussing the proposed raise in tele-
phone rates, effective July /, and
every man present who is a subscr;-
Der, stated that he positively would
not stand for the increase in rate,
but would order discontinuance
Of the service.
Citizens Of Dresden feel that be-
fore the rate is raised the service
ought to be improved by the addition
Of more blank lines connecting the
several towns and by the installa-
ton of a new and modern board,
with more help to take care of the
large number of calls made through
the exchanges of the county.
What the result will be can only
be told after July /, when the next
rate goes into effect.

papers on Milan, he being enjo;ned
from molesting Mrs. Milan or com
ing on the place. He had spent the
night at home with the children.
About the time the officers drove
up to serve the papers on Milan,
Mrs. Milan came up, when Joe
whipped out his pistol and began fir
ing at her. One of the children
standing nearby interfered and
knocked the pistol up, three shots
going wild and five taking effect,
as follows: One each through the
right and the left lung, one in the
h p, one in the stomach and another,
the location of which is not given
five times in all. Two shots were
fired after she fell. 1t all happened
so quick that Deputy Rogers and
Constable Butts had no time to in
terfere, and it is sad that Milan
gave them orders to stand back.
Friends of Milan claim that he
is crazy; that he has been subject to
peculiar spells" all his life, one of
his peculiarsrities being to board
train and ride until all his money was
exhausted.
