n 1EW YORK, August Sin the
Seabright tournament, where
one may always meet more ten
i MS authorities than anywhere
outside the great national
championship events. one caught very
clearly two angles OF the amateur prob
lem.
First YOU heard criticisms of players
who spend their time hopping from one
tourney to another in various sections
of the country. contributing their dis
.in2uished presence TO the drawing quail
ity of the events.
And on the other hand, complaint
was voiced about players whose amateur
spirit was so keen that they appeared
at Seabright. for instance-or did not
appear. as suited their sweet will.
The transforming amateurs have been
covering this season, as in the past. an
immense amount of territory; in some
cases they have had time to play but III
one or two rounds. when, like Arabs,
they have silently stolen away to some
other point hundreds of miles remote.
In return they receive expenses" just
how much money they receive depends,
it would SEEM upon their imagination
in making up the swindle sheets. The
feeling seems to be that this will have
10 be stopped. But how? The only
answer Is the echo of the question.
Then, at the other extreme, we have
such a player as Miss Helen Wills, whose
non-appearance at Seabright was re-
GREETED. Miss Mills selected the tourney
at Maidstone. which starts today. But
this engagement would not have kept
her away from Seabright had she want
ed to play there. But evidently she did
not want to. And whose business was
that but hers? Being an amateur she
conceivably had perfect right to play
or not to play as she saw fit.
IT. is hard to project the simon pure
amateur spirit and retain popularity
A year or so ago Miss Wills entered a
tourney at Los Angeles. Arriving there
she found that she had been assigned
TO play at an hour favorable to maxi
mum gate receipts, but not suitable to
the champions plans. So she returned
to Berkeley without playing. She has
not since been invited to Los Angeles
For some reason she found it inexpe-
dent or undesirable to enter at Sea-
bright and so there Is talk OF her wan
ing popularity in the East also.
1t is hard, very hard to be a rigid
amateur and please everybody.

CARSTA|RS CRAFT II
REACHES HALIFAX
Woman Owner Confident New
Racer viii Set Pace of
105 Miles an Hour.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
- STEELE ", the British Hush
- Hush motorboat with which
Miss Betty Carstairs hopes to
IL capture and take back to Eng
land the International Speed
Trophy. to be raced for at Detroit, has
reached this side of the Atlantic still
mostly a mystery.
Instead of being unloaded from the
steamship Arabic in New York, as was
expected, the craft was taken off at
Halifax and has been shipped for final
tests at Lake Muskoka, Ontario, prior
to being sent to Detroit. Gar Wood,
winner of the speed trophy last year
will lead the defense by American speed
kings in the races, starting August 81.
Miss Carstairs, who will arrive In
the United States shortly. confidently
expects Estelle " not only to better
the speed of 93.123 miles per hour,
attained by Gar Wood in Miss America
VII at Miami Beach a few months ago,
but to actually attain speed Of los
miles per hour
One of the most interesting features
of the new craft is its sturdy hull. It
weighs 3,400 pounds without engines
or equipment. The sewn plank" sys-
TEN, that is, planks sewn together with
copper wire, is used to keep the sides as
light and flexible as possible. The new
boat has an outer shell of horizontal
plsnks, with a layer of oiled canvas
separating these from the inner lining
Of diagonal planking
Three 1,000-horsepower engines, driv-
ing three propellers, are the power
plant of the Estelle w. Each engine
has three carburetors and its own gaso-
line, Oil and water supply The boat
thus has in effect three separate power
plants, controlled from the dashboard
by three levers, one for each engine
To make steering easier the Estelle
w has been equipped with two syn
chronized rudders, one of them being
in the middle of the hull, we'll forward
of the turning propellers. She IL IS
feet long, with beam of 9Ia feet, and
has three bucket seats in the control
position, one for Miss Carstairs at the
wheel, another for the mechanic and a
third for the man who will watch the
gauges on the dashboard.

died today
The bursting of the rear tire on his

breaking hour paced race, cost him his
life.
Francisco zuchetti, the Newark, N. j.

Nap NORM of Lowell, Mass, and his
rider, Alfred Letourner of France, es-
capped with severe bruises and burns
received when they were thrown to the
wooden track while riding at speed of
almost a mile q minute.
Clarence Carman of Jamaica, Long
Island, former American bicycle cham
pion, saved his own life as well as that
of his rider, Charles Winter of New

remarkable skill as he guided 1t among
the four men and their machines,
strewn on the banked course.
