Evans in Line for Berth.

CHICK EVANS, on his 1887 showing
might draw one of those Walker
Cup spots next year. 1t depends
more or less on how the Chicago
veteran is playing at the time. Chick
has played in q flock of Walker Cup
matches and hasn't done so badly.
At the age Of As he still packs plenty
punch.
A combination of youth and ex-
perience such Walker Cup team
would be, but the strange part of it is
that the East hasn't much repre-
sentation. Probably the U. S. G. A
will reach down in the grab-bag and
come up with one or two Eastern
players, but they could do far worse
than put guys like Kelly, Ward and
Haas on the team.
In any event the East won't be
the dominant factor on the team to
meet the British next year. as 1t has
been in the past. They couldn't
do it consistently.

Public Gives Support.

POINTING out that large contribu-
tions already had been made
toward the Olympics by the japanese
people, Count Soeshima said:
IF Japan abandoned the Olympics
at the last moment, Japan would for
ever suffer loss of prestige. I have
considered the worst contingency and
have considered resigning in such a
case.
THE Olympics are not merely ath-
letic games, but a question of inter-
natlonalism. I believe it would en-
courage the officers and men at the
front to know the Olympics are to
be held at Toxic despite the Chinese
incident"
Similar comments came from other
leaders in the movement that brought
the award of the 1910 games to Toxic
Ryozo Hiranuma, member of the
Organizing Committee, said:
Since the Olympics still are three
years away, it would more become the
and strength of a great
people to hold the Olympics as sched-
uled. Abandonment would discredit
Japan in the eyes of the world"

Blues Here and There.

THERE have been several fair
catches, including bluefsh, in the
bay lately, all from widely scattered
localities. Tilghmans Island. the
Gooses, Galesville, Solomons and the
Middles all have had a few blues. the
majority of them small ones running
around 2 pounds. That is not the
smallest fish in the bay. but it is
small compared TO the big and 10
pounds registered by many a bluefsn
in times past
The fact that the reported catches
are scattered all over may be an indi-
cation that all the blues that are going
to be caught are small likewise. be-
cause If any big schools were in the

their hands before this.

M NhioOAO NAVAL, CllleI secretary
OF the committee, commented:
1T would be inconsistent on the
governments part to forego the Olym-
pics after having accepted invitations
to New York's International Exposi-
ton in 1889"
Reliable sources have reported the
army opposed the earliest attempts to
bring the Olympics to Toxic. Since
1910 is the 2,600th anniversary of
the founding of the empire, public
opinion overcame the army after acri-
monious disputes.
Shortly after the outbreak of the
Chinese war the army withdrew its
equestrian team, declaring it was too
busy fighting to train. It is now
believed military circles are using the
Chinese war as an excuse to attain
their original objective.

GOLD CUP WINNER
DUE TO RACE HERE
MendeIsohn, Who Sets Two
Marks at Detroit, Looks
to Potomac Classic.
BY the Associated Press.

~ ETRoIT, Mich, September 7.
Herbert Mendelsohn of De-
troit, whose cigar-shaped,
- white-hulled Notre Dame
yesterday successfully stood off a for
eign effort to win the 34-year-old Gold
Cup that symbolizes the speedboat
championship of North America, to-
day began grooming his craft for pos
sible entry in the Presidents Cup race
on the Potomac River September
1926.
Mendelsohn's craft kept the famous
cup at the Detroit Yacht Club by out
lasting 10 other boats, all but four of
which gave way under the grueIling
punishment of three 3O-mile heats at
a speed that at times exceeded 70
miles an hour. She established a new
record Of 63.675 miles an hour for the
90-mlle race and set up a new 30-mile
heat mark of 65645 miles an hour.
Invaders Have Tough Luck.
HE old records were 6028 for the
race, made by Horace E. Dodge's
Delphine TX in 1881, and 6O.866 for
the heat, made at the same time bv
George Refs Ell Lagarto.
The foreign challenge for the trophy
failed probably because of the unfa-
miliarity of Count T'heo Rossi of Italy
with the American speedboat racing
style and the hard luck that overlook
Maurice Vasseur of France In his
Rafale VI. Rossi had his Alagi and
Aradam entered.
Rafale. after considerable difficulty
getting under way, lost her rudder in
the heavy wash of other speeding
hydroplanes. Aradam was not ready
for the first heat and did not partici-
pate In the third. Alagi, however,
managed to beat out Mendelsohn's
Notre Dame in the second heat with a
sudden burst of speed as Notre Dame
developed bit of mechanical trouble.
and ran the fastest lap ever recorded
IN the Gold Cup race-71.446 m.ph.-
IN that same heat.
Rossi Gets Bad Start.
II OSSI, however, got away to poor |
starts in the Alagi. Once he had
to start over because he approached |
the line far ahead of the starting sig
nal. His craft, however, performed
well on the straightaways and with
greater familiarity with the course he
would have made a bet
