EXPLANATION OF YESTERDAYS CARTOON

Upton as he sent his fifth cup chal- lenger, Shamrock ", out in the seas off Brenton Reef to engage the American defender Enterprise in the 15-mile thrash to windward and return-the first in series of races to determine the winner of the classic mug.
 AS the fifth Shamrock of her name slipped her moorings in Bren- ton Cove today Sir Thomas thought of the same scene 31 years ago when Shamrock I. rounded Sandy Hook pointed into a tug and headed away for the red -hulled Sandy Hook light vessel to meet the Morgan sloop Columbia.
 Sir Thomas has noted the changes that time has brought in the sailings for the America's cup and today he observed that it seemed most odd not to be racing under the shadows of the New Jersey highlands where many flckle wind and tide has played him false in his quest for the cup.
 Roman Holiday Declared All New York made a Roman holiday when the races were run off the entrance Of the transatlantic steamer lane and the racing course was surrounded by excursion craft, loaded to the guards with thousands Of landlubbers who knew not a boom from a.. bowsprit but who 1 come to see and shout for the vic tor. Off this society center and yachting haven only the dyed-in- the wool sailormen have gathered ! to see the struggle for the bottom less cup. The Newport contest is i much too far off shore 10 follow the sloops, especially if a smoky sou'wester is blowing
 When the first Shamrock carrie1 AaWay her topmast in a blow down off the Jersey coast in 1899 there was no wireless to bring the news to the newspaper world. Perched on the highlands near Sandy Hook, yachting reporters tried to follow the sloops in their courses with high powered telescopes and marine glasses but with the yachts far off shore and pea-soup fogs rising and falling there were long intervals when no news was available.
 News Swum to Shore
 Sometimes ocean-going tugs with reporters on board drew along the shores and news dispatches inside rubber balloons were tossed over board to be brought in by strong swimmers and relayed on telegraph wires to the press associations When the finishes were close and not observable from shore it was a race e reach the marine observa. tory at Sandy Hook with the news
 Now the rocking chair fleet that sails it's races from a comfortablf spot on the Yacht club veranda car listen today to the radio accounts broadcast from destroyer and those for whom Papa Neptune ha. various terrors can sit at home and hear how Sir Thomas is making ou in his fifth consecutive venture tc take the cup which he says the Americans have no use for.
 Sir Thomas said that ten year. ago he had Lord Dewar with hin as his guest.
 "He was Whiskey Tom and an Tea Tom" said the Irish barone with his quiet little chuckle.

 Harold S. Vanderbilt, skipper of the defender of the 100 guinea cup. which was won by the yacht Amer lea back in 1851, and which has since cost almost millions in 'chal- hnge and defense, also was cheer ful and sportsmanlike in his pre- race anpouncements,
 Crew All Ready
 "It seems fitting" he said, "to state that the after-guards and crews of both yachts are tuned to high pitch, and ready for the starting gun. The friendliest rela- tions exist between us and our ad- lversaries are the finest sportsmen we know. We are looking forward to a close, keen, hard fought series of races"
 The greatest yachting fleet ever seen in Newport harbor was on hand to see the opening contest The palatial yachts included boats from all along the Atlantic coast. The schooner Awenishe of Liver pool, Nova Scotia, came down from the maritime provinces in less than three days.
 Less Betting This Year
 There was less betting than on almost any contest of similar i'm portance What wagers were made were largely even money proposi- tions, but when odds were given they usually favored Enterprise.
 The sleek green sloop, flying the red hand of Ulster from Ter top. mast. entered the internationa contest strictly an unknown quan- ! tity. Her crew insisted she liked light air the better, but she crossed the Atlantic under her own sail with a shortened rig. and yachting enthusiasts insisted she would not mind anything King Neptune could offer her on the open ocean course
 The breeze the past week ha' been very light. but old sea dog' along the waterfront predicted tha i the cup boats were due to run into some heavy weather before the enc of the series to be decided on bes four out of seven basis.
 Both Shamrock V and Enterprise were out for trial spins yesterday Shamrock V set a new spinnaker a big light ead-sail that is carried opposite the main-sail when run ming before the wind, and she fair ly leaped out of the water.

 Publication of theAJones letter fol- lowed closely the announcement of Senator Wheeler, democrat, Mon tana, in which he asserted he had voted for prohibition in his state, but that since this administration and the previous administrations had been unable to stamp out boot leggers and speakeasies he had been forced to the opinion that national prohibition is a failure and that each state should be left to regulate the liquor traffic as a majority of it's citizens deem advisable"
 Woodcock Asks Money
 While these statements were being made public, Director Woodcock of the prohibition bureau besought the budget bureau for an increase of $2,2oo,000 for the work of his office during the coming year.

LIONS GOVERNOR
MAKES ADDRESS
TO LOCAL DENS

Byrl Babcock, district governor
of the Lions club, was honor guest
at a banquet given last night at
the Barbara Worth hotel, the Cali
patria and Imperial clubs being the
guests Of the local group.
In his address, Babcock stressed
the importance of the human side
OF life, saying that there are other
things in life beside kilowats and
horsepower and that the human side
must be developed along with the
scientific.
With the change in the times and
with the progress made in science,
n change in morals must occur, de
clarcd the speaker. \ strong sense
OF responsibility, interest in the
creation Of public sentiment and in
aiding others must be developed.
Lionism has progressed rapidly
and substantially, stated Babcock,
but, along with the other service
clubs, it must increase the field of
its usefulness to the community.
Service is prompted by love and
can be expressed by helping men to
find themselves and their places in
the community. The massed strength
of service club can perform use
full work and the organization
should accept its responsibility to
the community.
