Coming finally TO Brightlingsea. al
the mouth Of the little Colne River. he
decided to anchor. and the Valfreya
has swung to its chain there since
that time. One of Mr.. Browns eccen
tricities was to douse the members OF
his crew with water Many men quit
under this treatment, but others
quickly took their places, lured by the
large salaries paid by the eccentric
owner.
One OF the stories told about him
was that he would invite the members
Of the crew in to have ale with him
and that when they stood with the
glasses in their hands he would jump
among them with cudgei and heat
them.
Despite his eccentricities along this
line, he was well liked in Colchester

along the Essex coast stocked with

When the Valfreya dropped anchor

was made by the British to collect an

but he turned the collectors away, de-

POLO PLAY RETARDED
BY COST OF PASTIME

With few exceptions polo playing
ORGANIZATIONS in the East are expert
encin2 difficulty In finding players.
This applies even 10 clubs where the
game has long and proud tradition.
In view Of the growth of istercol-
leglate polo which recent years have
aeen il was believed the playing
strength Of the various clubs would
show marked increase through the
accession Of players who had been
graduated from college and were keep
ing on with the game.
But this has not been the case.
The reason. or at least one important
reason. is not difficult 10 tind--the
expense which the game involves.
There has been a tendency OF late TO
change the public impression that polo
ia exclusively a. rich mans game.
Well. it need not necessarily be q
rich mans game as wealth il gauGed
in this country. but at the same time
II Is hardly sport which the average
collegiate player finds himself in
position TO indulge after graduation.
Take string OF four ponies. one
groom and incidentals and the monthly
expense works out approximately 10
$500.
Now in this country even rich mems
sons are apt 10 plunge into business
on their own after leaving college and
are in no position 10 afford either the
time or the money required for polo.
Which is why so few college recruits
are coming into the game.

BOAT THAT ALMOST
FLEW TO RACE HERE

\ speedboat, that once travelled so
fast it all but left the water to re-
semble an aircraft without wings,
will race in the Presidents Cup
Regatta on the. Potomac September
1918.
The Yankee Doodle, owned and
driven by Alex Johnson of New
York, a formidable contender for the
British International trophy to be
contested 1.abor-day week at De
troit, attained a pace estimated at
from 100 to 106 miles an hour in a
trial spin on Long Island Sound.
1t was equipped at the time with
two engines that generate 5000 horse
power, weighing $500 pounds, and
operated 80 cylinders that churned
two propellers.
Johnson's freakish craft had 100
horsepower for each foot of it's length.
The hull was 80 feet long. and made
Of mahogany only one-quarter of an
inch thick.
The Yankee Doodle in the begin
ming was an experiment. Johnson's
idea was to try out hydroplane that
interesting venture. but. in a way,
unsuccessful. He discovered that the
frail hull was put to too much OF "a
vibratory test. and that the Yankee
Doodle was too difficult to handle
for racing purposes.
However, it gave him thrill. For
only a brief space he opened wide
the throttle. The craft shot forward
like a wild thing. Almost the entire
hull rose above water. Johnson
estimates that not more than six
inches Of the rear end was sub
merged.
AS 1t is now. the Yankee Doodle
is capable of beating so miles an
hour. and Johnson hopes to surpass
the record established in competition
by Gar Wood of S1-and-a fraction
miles.
Both Johnson and Wood may need
more speed than this to beat the
French challenger. the Excelsior
France. in the British international
trophy race. The French boat which
was landed at New York yesterday
is reported to have attained d pace
of 81 miles.
Chairman Rogers will leave for
Detroit Friday to make arrangements
for a special race in the regatta here,
to include Gar Woods Miss America
", Johnson's Yankee Doodle and the
French craft.

DEMPSEY WILL TAKE
REST FOR "a HOURS
BY the Associated Press,

Jack Dempsey is planning n "a
hour vacation after today'S workout
He believes himself entitled TO Il
day of recreation once a week. like
any other laboring man. He has been
going for seven consecutive days
here, and fears he will become trifle
stale If he does not take a little rest.
THE fight is nearly a month away.
he said today. ''An ! would be fool

Of fact. could get into shape for a
short fight within a weeks time, and
I intend 10 make this one short, but
do not intend to overtrain."
One or two days layoffs will occur
regularly once week or whenever
his handlers feel that the champion
is getting bit fine.
AT present Dempsey has only five
or six pounds at the most of excess
flesh. and this must be conserved TO
avoid his entering the ring on Sep.
tember % underweight.
The champion worked impressively
yesterday, taking five sparrtnS part
ners on for u round apiece. He
looked more like the savage. scowling
Dempsey of old. and caused Harry
Greb, former world n1iddleweight
champion. to switch his opinion in
favor of Dempsey. Previously Greb
had favored Tunney. He said, how
ever, that unless Dempsey scored
knockout within three or four rounds,
Tunney might be returned the winner
on points.
