is the spirit in which, like Oliver Wen
dell Holmes and Holmes illustrious son,
he views the world in which he has
played so large a part. And in that
spirit, not daunted by a long series OF
defeats, he declares that he will again
send his defiant challenge to race for
the Americas Cup"
1.-THE personality, good humor, tradi-
ton and stubborn gallantry Of the ven
cradle yachtsman have given the sport
a sentimental aura and a wide public
appeal" as viewed by the st. Paul Dis
patch, which emphasizes the fact that
under ordinary circumstances yacht
racing, with its intricacies and finesse,
has few thrills for the land laynan."

in," adds: Sir Thomas deserves some
such memento from us. He has been
trying since the nineties to lift the
Americas Cup. Though he has failed
to beat our yachts with his Shamrocks,
he has endeared himself to us as one of
the best sportsmen in the world, per-

Green Bay Press Gazette, that max

would begin to pail even on such a

deserves something more, and could
probably have borne the calamity Of
winning the present race. He has not
made us so happy as usual, either.

Upton to win"
''Sir Thomas has become legend in
this country" declares the Columbus
Ohio State Journal, because of his
attempts to win the cup, and
so far as the layman is concerned his
niche in the sports hall of fame is even
more secure than is that Of his oppo-
nent, Commodore Vanderbilt. The race
will be remembered more for the mag
niflcent failure of Lipton's yacht than
for the graceful victory of Vanderbilt's.
And so. although actually Sir Thomas
lost race, he has gained in way
an intangible way that makes him

has to scrape and save to compete, the
thought Of his efforts, along with
others, attracting the enormous crowds
of today with the consequent large
revenue not only to the club sponsoring
the tournament but to the U. S. G. A.,
the question of amateurism Is an en-
tirely different matter. So it can be
seen that there are actually two sides
to the question.
In recent years both the golf and
tennis bodies have been made ridiculous
in seeking to make the difference be-
tween amateurism and professionalism a
thing more complex than a Chinese
puzzle, when the only difference to the
public, which pays and pays, is that
a professional accepts money for COM
peting and an amateur does not An
amateur does not become a professional
golfer or tennis player if he writes a
story for newspaper or magazine about
the game. but the governing organiza-
tons, much to public dissatisfaction,
would have it so.
With this line of reasoning, Won Elm
now becomes professional, regardless
of what he calls himself, and there is
certainly no disgrace in accepting
money for skill whether it is a result
of brains or muscle.
But even at that, it is not believed
that Won Elm will long remain alone in
his business man4linksman" category.
Others, it has been rumored for some
time. are likely to join the blond Pacific
Coast star on professional golf wander
ings. Some may take time by the fore
lock, as did Won Elm, and others not
so voluntarily. A shake-up-and what
a shake-up it will be-is soon sched-
uled for the U. S. G. A. in regard to
several of its best attractions, and the
business man" golfer list will grow
rapidly. This amateur VS.. professional
business is a peculiar situation, and
the outcome cannot be predicted.

Bids for the Airmail.

The purpose of the watres airmail
act has been interpreted as encourage
ing airman lines by the Government
subsidy that lies in airmail contracts.
But administering the act and select
ing the lines thus to be subsidized has
been no simple matter and the award
OF contracts has been attacked already
Ey elements in the air industry that
have lost out. Fuel will no doubt be
added to the flames already smoldering
By the award of the most important
OF the airnail contracts yesterday to
the Western Air Express, Inc, and the
Transcontinental Air Transport. Inc,
for carrying the mail from New York
ID Los Angeles. The contract carries
q prize that may amount to as much
rs s2,7l1,o00 a year for four years.
The low bid, In this case, was sub
mitted by the United Avigation Co.,
formed by three companies for the pur-
pose of bidding on the contract. As
against the bid of CTS per cent of
the maximum rate allowed by law
end submitted by Western Air Express
and T. A. T., the unsuccessful bidder
proposed a rate equal to about 81 per
cent. The Post Office Department ex-
planned that the higher bid was ac-
cepted because it was the only quail
fed one under the terms Of the Nc
Nary-Watres act and in conformity
with the specifications In the advertise
fnent.' The most interesting specihca-
ton in the advertisement, however was
the demand, written in by the depart
ment. that the bidder show experience
at night flying. This the losing bidder
was unable to show. But while the
successful bidder has and does now
engage in night flying, the contract
states that for the present the service
will be maintained by daylight flying
only"
Despite the tremendous gains In air
mail service and the success of the
Governments effort to encourage air.
mail lines, the airman Is still In its
infancy. One Of the natural accom-
paniments in its development has been
the mushroom growth of paper con-
Germs that have been long on promises
but short on demonstrated ability to
carry them out. Some companies have
obviously been formed in the expecta-
ton of building bone and sinew on the
strength of airmail contracts, but the
policy Of the Post ONCE Department
has been to demand that stability and
responsibility be developed independent
~ Of Government contracts, these to
come later as reward and encourage
ment. In the case of the low bidder
for the New York-Los Angeles contract.
at least two Of the companies forming
the United Avigation Co. have shown
ccmmendable independent development.
And while the very low bid submitted
may have been based on q possible in
tent TO test by court action the night
flying specification written into the
contract by the Post once Department,
there is no reason to doubt It's sin

The Governments policy In granting
airmail contracts seems due for the
tests that lie In justifying 1T in the
face Of criticism and complaint No
important policy Is ever formed with
out these tests.

The Lure of Washington

Yesterday, in Rhode Island. still
another candidate for the United States
Senate. who has already sat in that
body, was renominated for the place he
once occupied and to which an I'M
sppreciative electorate later refused to
return him. Peter Goelet Gerry, Demo-
crat, who reaspires 10 his senatorial toga
from Little Rhody," is one of a quite
considerable 1880 company with kindred
ambitions.
From Delaware former Senator
Thomas F. Bayard, Democrat, would
return to Capitol Hill. In Oklahoma,
former sonator Thomas P. Gore, Demo-
crat, would stage a comeback. Massa-
chusetts is the embattled arena in which
Willie n M. Butler, Republican, is fight
ing for his old rank and title at Wash
ington. Former Senator Matthew M.
Nicely, Democrat, Of West Virginia,
bankers again to adorn the Upper
ChambeT. Illinois Is asked to recon
tribute the services of Jim Ham" Lewis,
Democrat, that his whiskers may wave
and his wit once more scintillate in the
senatorial branch of Congress. If his
ambitions prevail, former Senator Gil
bert N. Hitchcock, Democrat, Of
Nebraska, will usurp George w. Norris
place.
And so it goes. OF course, one-time
solons are not the only statesmen seek
ing to Craze again in the green pastures
of Congress With only two or three
notable exceptions, most senatorial
''ins," and nearly all House "ins," are
trying to stay In. Some Of them, in
Guiding shining marks, were denied the
qualification of their desires in pri-
maries. Many others are sure to fall
by the wayside on election day. The
point is that the lure of Washington has
not lost It's magnetism.
The call Of the Potomac Is still a
siren song. It is well that 1t Is 50,
particularly If it continues to beguile
into national service the best that
America has to contribute.

GERMAN COTTON
 INDUSTRY DROPS
May Reduce Mill Activity to 33
 Per Cent Below Normal

Berlin, July Il (UP)-A grave crisis was threatening the German cotton textile industry today, leading to heavy production curtailment and q steady decrease of wages for some groups of workers.
 The Indian boycott of British cloth, and the resulting depression among English cotton mills; and the increased competition from Czecho- slovakia and Austria all have con- tributed to the present state of sf- fairs.
 The central organization of the Alderman cotton spinners-fol- lowing a similar move by the Rhe- nish Westphalian spinners--has recommended a reduction in all mill activity to 33 per cent below the normal mill capacity.
 Many German mills have CO., operated by curtailing production, but many others continued over pro- ducins anyhow to avoid dismissng skilled laborers.
 To enable them to compete with foreigners. the spinners and weavers have reduced their prices consider ably, 70 that now the weavers get only 1 mark 10 pfennings compared with a mark, 5S pfennings in 1921.
