The Once Over
AHoY FOR THE INTERNATIONAL CUP RACE

Copyright, 1880, by The Associated NewspaperS)
Sir Thomas Upton, whose vain quests Of the Ameri-
cas- cup have put him in the lways-a-bridesmaid
but-never- a-bride class. has arrived in this country,
and the next big sporting event will take place off;
Newport when two million-dollar sailing yachts en-
gage in a series Of tests to see which is more brittle.
After a ten-years interval an international cup
race is again at hand off our coast. II 1t does nothing
else 1t will give President Hoover an opportunity to
take a census OF yacht owners and prove that, despite
the business recession. there are more yachts under
the Hoover administration than there ever were under
a Democratic regime.
Yachtsmen regard an international cup race with
the same enthusiasm as a baseball fan regards a
worlds series. and already a big boom is reported In
our yachting cap. blue flannel coat, duck pants,
binoculars. cocktail shaker and punch bowl indus
tries.
1t was the aim OF the Republican party to put a
yacht in every home. The ambition might have been
realized II Roger Babson hadn't gone garrulous last
September. Even at that, it is surprising how many
Americans are able to go in for the most expensive Of
sports.
The International races may provide the big psychic
logical punch necessary to restore prosperity. 1t will
P~S~A~ W ~ y aA t4lOeS COSJly yachts max
ing whoopee on the sidelines and still feel that money
is hard to get in this country.
If President Hoover's industrial commission wants
to restore confidence it should move to have the races
transferred closer to the shore and nearer to the
masses. BY planning to hold the races off Newport
the yachtsmen are making them almost a private
event.
Ten years ago the Upton cup hunt was held off
New York, where there was also a chance the hoi
polloi might get a glance at the race from a ferryboat,
tug, coal barge, garbage scow. oil tanker, raft. fishing
pier or rowboat.
The races that year were a big disappointment to
the yachtsmen. however, because OF the fact that
common people had been able TO get a peep or two
at the racing boats. 1t is pretty heartbreaking to
realize that a lot Of people who don't know a spinnak-
er from q MILDLY blouse and whose sea life has been
limited to excursion boats are getting in on an event
you are attending on a twin-screw yacht costing you
$4,000 every time you lift the anchor.
In previous cup races there have been such curious
time allowances and committee rules that one Yacht
might lead its rival over the line by half a day and
be declared the loser on the ground the skipper wore
the wrong hat and had snapped a garter.
30 the element Of mystery viii be removed and the
public should get some good clean fun out Of the
races, even by hearsay.

LONDON, December 12.-England is
importing an American institution and
doesn't quite know what to call it.
New road rules, in force January /,
will bring 1000 police on motor cycles
and in cars, besides an additional force
for London alone
In America, of course they are speed
copSs but over here the slang is quoted
and the newspapers have compromised
by referring to the proposed force as
"moAile police"
Said Herbert Morrison, the minister
Of transport, in a statement reassuring
English motorists:
II have never been in America and
l cannot speak with any authority as to
the practices of what are known as
speed cops in America, but I have no
wish that our police should act in a
vindictive or bullying spirit
The job of the mobile police is to
aim at getting order, considerateness
and decent conduct on the Kings high
ways.
I There will be cases where the police
