DECORATION DAY and the impending fleet
- review in New York left stay-at-home
Washington notables looking like characters in
Goldsmith's Deserted Village"
Nearly every one was out of town. Those
who weren't acted for the most part as if they
wished they were. In fact, a number of diplo-
mats and officials tried valiantly to get away,
but we're caught in the net of daily work.
One party of diplomats sought to charter a
small boat and follow the fleet around the har-
bor Two things stopped this plan-f1rst, the
money it cost to charter the small boat; second,
the fact that the boat might sink if as many as
it would take to pay the bill climbed aboard.
And they couldn't swim.
An active Chilean envoy Mr.. Mario Rodri-
guez paid $40 for a stateroom on board the
steamer Virginia of the Panama-Pacif1c line.
This vessel was scheduled to set out from her
pier at 7:30 this morning, anchor near the
Indianapolis where the Presidents party stands,
and return at o'clock
Others wished to follow Mario's example,
but the Virginia was sold out. There were 200
guests aboard.

REAL LIBERAL THINKERS
NEEDED FOR INDIANA
= a New Dealer,

By a New Dealer.
Should the state conventions
nominate Louis Ludlow and Arthur
Robinson, both love children of the
reactionaries, as candidates for SEN
ator, citizens of Indiana will be
in the peculiar position of having
to elect a man neither liberal nor
in sympathy with the policies of
President Roosevelt.
While Robinson is the most fla
grant believer against the adminis-
tration, Ludlow has quietly voted
against many White House meas
ureS.
The real liberal thinkers have not
broken through the political dog
matism in Indiana sufficiently to be
in a position to place themselves
before the voters.

BY E. L.
1t seems to me:
That the city park board should
spend more time checking up on
weather forecasts and getting the
park swimming pools ready for
opening during a hot spell rather
than running around the town
worrying about whether Mr..

Mr.. Whatsagain runs for prosecut-

Some way or other, the only time
some politicians consider the chill
dren is when they can chuck them

It's time that we got a little bit
more administration and less apollo
getic "sorrys" from city officials
who are vitality concerned with the
needs of citizens only when those
needs bring a flock of ballots to the
party in power.

Mexicans Show Courage,
Fine Sportsmanship
in Polo Defeat.
by ROBERT b. PHILLIPS. JR.

the Mexicans out Of position time and
again, turned the play toward their
own goal and passed to forward who
had been left free. Mounted on feet
horseflesh, the forward picked up the
ball and raced away to one after
another untroubled score.
Lieut.. Read Is Star.
TN THE process OF victory, the
Americans uncovered a new star
who undoubtedly will shine for
them ON many q field. He was Lieut..
George Read, jr., the stocky, thick
muscled No. 3, gentleman credited
with of the IL deciding goals while
playing in a position that is partially
defensive.
Wherever you looked, Lieut..
Read either was making a pass,
whipping over q long shot di-
rected straight between the
posts, or breaking up play that
might have been fruitful to the
enemy.
The Mexicans also had a hero.
Capt. Antonio Perez was at least five
sixths of a Lieut.. Read. While he
was not called upon to tap ball
between the pylons at one juncture
or another, his glory shone like a
dozen goals. He darted here and
there, turning play for home terri
tory, feeding to the forwards, clean
ing out American riders cunningly
placed for shots. His teammates rail-
lied on occasion, and always the squirt
Of energy followed some impetus of his
invention. Capt. Perez's game infused
steadiness into overanxious forwards
and continually foiled drives by the
Americans.
Whatever frhstration may plague
the Mexicans in their thoughts about
the second International series with
the United States, they will carry
home with them the unvarnished de-
light of three final periods in which
the courageous Perez led them to
three goals, while they held an ad-
mittedly superior four scoreless and
kept them on the run.

A N INTERNATIONAL yacht race
~ Is supposed to be the purple
~ clad royalty of sport-the top
of the aristocratic side.

OF the 6TlSVOCIdtlC SlGC.
But it can stir up more international
i'll will than q dozen prize fights or
twice that many Olympic games.
The only bitter Olympic argument
developed from the Hayes-Dorando
marathon in London around 1908. But,
since that episode, when officials and
helpers dragged the half-conscious
Dorando over the finishing line ahead
of Johnny Hayes, the American, there
have been few riffs.
There has been some muttering back
and forth in connection with the Davis
Cup matches, but is hasn't been loud
or long. Nothing serious. Germans
and Italians squawked little over in
cidents that happened to Schmeling
and Carnera, but no excited rumpus
ever got under way.
Looking back nearly 40 years, one
Of the first big international crashes
came when Lord Ddnraven, challeng-
ing for the Americas Cup, sailed over
the starting line and then struck for
port in a wrathful default.
This last yachting free-for-all be-
gan on stormy seas. New England
felt from the start the Yankee wouldn't t
get an even break. When the Rainbow
was selected, there were more than a
few charges made in British newspa-
pers by yachting experts that Mr..
Sopwith and his Endeavour were on
the verge of getting the well known
works.
In the fourth race of the series of
Newport, Mr. Sopwith believed that
his boat had been fouled twice by the
Rainbow. The British yachtsman de-
layed hosting the protest flag, prob
ably in the hope that he could win
without starting an argument.
To the average landlubber, who
knows little or nothing about yacht
ing rules, the main point at issue
should have been the Rainbow's tactics
In this race-not the technicality Of q
protest delay.
The Rainbow either fouled-or
didn't foul. That is all that should
have counted. The Race Committee
may have been technically right, but
its members stumbled into a deep
psychological hole as far as 80 per
cent Of this country and probably 100
per cent Of Great Britain happened
to be concerned. They went wrong on
the sporting side, which should have
been a one-way street.
Mr.. Sopwith's final note shows clear
ly enough that he thinks he draw a
raw deal. This, in way, is unim-
portant. But it was important that
all facts about the alleged foul or
fouls should have been given COM
plete consideration-that Mr.. Sop
with should have been given a full

Quoted here"
II do not feel vindictive," he said,
"at my treatment at the hands of the
New York Yacht Club, but I do feel
completely disillusioned."
Sopwith said he came over here, as
he thought, for the good Of the sport,
but found that the races were run as
big business, something was not
prepared to contend with"
Admits He Erred.

Of the last race said: my tactics were

He added! "All errors made aboard

the amateurs in the crew, could not

Rules and Such,

Rules and Such.
THERE are rules for every game
that must be followed. These
should be enforced strictly,
especially in any championship affair.
If rule is broken, no technicality
should be allowed to cut In upon the
major issue. The rule of the race or
the rule of the game is much more
important.
Unfortupa there are more tech
nicalities CO. yted with yacht racing
than any other sport can show-tech-
nicalities which leave entirely too
many tangles for the outsider to un-
ravel.
If foul Is committed in foot ball,
polo, or most any other games, it Is
promptly called by an oficial. Why
shouldn't the same apply to yachting,
without forcing one Of the contestants
to start the squawk or squabble on
his own account and thereby start .

It might be stated from the inter-
national side that United States en-

cisions in general. This may be true
enough. Too often it is true.
But that doesn't alter the situation
on this side, where, in the matter Of a
technicality, the visitor should at least
be given his chance to state his case.
Two Lucky Breaks.
THERE were two lucky breaks for
the American side of the con-
troversy. The first was that
Sopwith was at fault in the time of
his first protest and the second was
that Vanderbilt and his crew proved
to be much the superior competitors
by winning with slower boat.
Sopwith's sailing mistakes cost him
q large part of his early following
since, in the way Of q yacht, he had
the winning equipment on his side.
He started with about % per cent Of
the noncombatants roofing his way
and at the finish there was rttls

Has 1925 Batting Average.

THE best proof of this remarkably
i durable infield's power is its
aggressive batting average of
1926. It's sufficient evidence to entitle
these Tigers to an all-around edge over
either the Giant combination of Terry,
Ortiz, Ryan and Jackson or the Car
dinal cast of Collins, Frisch, Durocher
and Martin.
The Detroit quartet's margin over
the Cardinals in hitting is around 80
points per man and nearer so points
over the Giants. The clinching evi-
dence is that the Tiger infielders have
driven over AIS runs this season as
compared to less than 300 by the Car
dinal quartet and less than $50 by
the Giant inner workers.
Defensively the comparisons are
pretty close to being Mexican stand
off. On the one side Terry and Critz
have a slight margin over rival COM
binations in defensive skill, although
there may be some dispute as to this.
On the other the fielding marks OF
Rogell and Owen are a bit more i'm
pressive than those of either possible
opposing pair, but here again the diff
ference Is scarcely noticeable on the
diamond.
Manager Terry of the Giants is the
superior Of either Greenberg or Collins
at first, on the basis Of all-around
performance, but wields no more po-
tent stick in the clutch" than either
of his younger rivals. Greenberg and
Collins both are long-range hitters.
Gehringer King at Second.
EHRINGER generally is rated
r the king of present-day second
basemen. He has no weakness.
Frisch, despite his years, still ranks
among the great money players of all
time. He has played in seven world
series since 1921, when he was with
the Giants. Critz also has passed his
prime and is a light hitter but still
ranks with the most skillful in ham
bling ground balls.
