VETERAN YACHT RAGING EXPERT PANS CUP BOATS
Present Day "Stream. lined" Yachts Unsea-
 worthy; Speed Not There

New York, July 22-James B. Connolly, author of numerous books on the sea and a recognized author ity on everything under sail, is thoroughly disgusted with the mod ern Americas cup races, the latest edition of which will open next week, and states his views in no uncertain terms in the current is- sue of Golfers. :.
 Connolly has. seen every Ameri- cas- cup race for the past 50 years, and he knows what he's talking about. He titles his article Down to the Sea in Teacups," and points out with all the streamlining and other changes in construction and design which have unhtted the pres- ent cup boats for deep-sea sailing, they haven't increased their top speed over the original America" which won the cup away from Britain in 1851. r..
 Contradictory
 "The America,s cup is supposed to be a symbol of the yachting su- premacy of the sea-" Connolly says, and that starts fellow thinking: Why should cup race be for the yachting supremacy of the sea, when the competing boats today are not seagoing. The America was sea-go- ing. and for at least 40 years after her, challenging and defending yachts were seagoing. Then the time came when English and American designers abandoned completely their seagoing models--the heavy weather craft-and went in for speed.
 To-day, with every ounce of weight pared from their hulls, with the mast profiles streamlined and running gear trimmed down to the lowest possible diameter to reduce wind resistance, with their enor- nous sail spread to drive then on why, a man would say should sail much faster than any of the old timers ever could. But do they? In a fine, fresh breeze, which is the Joy of sailing-in such breeze, no.
 Sailing records. of course, are usually the result of happy com bination of strong fair winds and smooth seas: but 1t is a fact that the latter-day cup boats at their best, in or out of cup races, have yet to sail as fast as did many of the oldtimers. Our defending schoon- CT Columbia, way back in 1871, sailed faster in one cup race than any recent boat has sailed in or out of a cup race.
 Slowing Up
 These latter-day cup yachts can show six or seven knots in air that won't even comfort a mans cheek on a hot day; they can log nine or ten knots in air that is barely strong enough to straighte1 out a linen handkerchief: but try to drive them in a stiff breeze, and what do we get? At 13 knots things be- gin to happen to them. They are crowding themselves; their balance IS upset; their sailing lines go adrift: co-ordination between hull and rigging is destroyed. ,r. q.

EXtraVagant gueSseS otten are made as to how far a man drives a golf ball, and, like fish yarns, they frequently are amplifed, dependent on the narrator.
 The fantastic tales about Laverne Moore, alias John Montague, were striking examples, although they should have been thrown out in the first place, if for no other reason than that they came from Holly wood.
 Some tremendous distances were recorded shortly after the old gutta- perchia pellet was discarded.
 R. 0. Bliss is deported to have blasted Q short 445 yards from a tee elevation of 50 feet at Herne Bay, England. in August. 1913.
 Going farther back, the immortal James Braid cracked a S9S-yarder ct Walton Heath.
 H. W. Horn is credited with a esS-yard effort in 1909.
 The great English tournament star. George Duncan, had a meas ured drive of 3s2 yards n 1911.

LEGAL AID IS SECURED IN LAST
 BID FOR ACTION
Weisman Believes JarIett Contract Can Be Se-
 cured From Chicago
BY JOHN A. CLUNEY

Baked at every turn in his .ef- forts to secure evidence to back up a protest on the use of Al Jarlett against the Sacred Hearts on June 24 last, Manager Ray Tram made arrangements for legal advice and aid last night by securing Attorney Marcus A. Weisrnan as. represen- tatiye of the Sacred Heart Club. Mir. Weisman confirmed the story of his retention by Manager Tram this morning, and already has made a strong effort to get in personal communication with Judge Kene- saw M. Landis, high commissioner of baseball. Some sort of informa- tion is expected before the week is out.
 We'll Done
 Selection of MT. Weisman was timely and may prove strongly ef- fective inasmuch as MT. Weisnlarl and his brother, Attorney Herman Weisman were active and interest ed in Eastern League baseball when Waterbury was represented and Judge Landis is personally ac- uuainted' with Attorney Herman Weisman, it is believed. which may suddenly open the facilities of the high commissioner office so that the local protest may be settled in Jig time. Not only that. but Attor- ney Marcus Weisnnan is personally acquainted with road Secretary Phil Troy of the Boston Red Sox. where Jarlett is believed by the Sacred Heart club officials to have signed his first contract prior to reporting to the Rocky Mount club in North Carolina. t
 Opinion
 Asked his opinion of the matter as he understood 1t to date. Attor- ney Marcus Weismarf told the writ CT: Tt has always been my under standing that any professional baseball player signs his contract in duplicate, the original of which is filed with Commissioner Landis in Chicago and two copies divided between the club that signs the player and the player himself. For that reason, If Jarlett signed with the Boston Red Sox before report | ing to Rocky Mount. which we have reason to believe he did. his con- tract should be on file in Landis' headquarters. Of course, a player who is farmed out must also sign a contract with the club to which he is sent but the major league club usually has him signed first so that they can recall him at any time within three years. That Is the si- tuation at present, and we should have something definite within few days, as I have already con- tacted the office of Commissioner Landis whom I believe will forward promptly the information we seek"
 In addition, it is believed that MT. Weisman will also get in touch with Secretary Phil Troy by telephone as soon as the Red Sox get back from the middle west. They were in Detroit yesterday.

get that way and they act as if they are going to buckle up and come all apart. Their limit seems to be IA knots, but before they are logging that speed all hands arc keeping a windward eye on the gear aloft and the leeward eye on the nearest patrol boat, having in mind a running high dive over the side when and if everything aloft comes crashing down on deck. One of those cloud reaching masts is goin to come down some day and kill a few people.
 Looking over these latter-day cup racing machines, built to pro- duce record breaking speed and not producing 1t under what should be the best of sailing conditions, sets a fellow thinking. A race in light air and a swan-boat sea is of course better than no race at all. but those of us who have been looking them over for 50 years cannot help think ing that the race for the suprem- acy of the sea should be sailed by boats that can hold the sea-"

Thomson's Performance Should Make Man Who Hits Ball 25O Yards Think Before Entering Competition

|, teners that he swatted Q ball mor, than $50 yards, let along poled 300- -yarder.
 For the Niagara Falls competi' ton was staged in nideal settint and under perfect conditions, ane was won by Jimmy Thomson, gen. erally considered the hardes thittel extant, with a colossa tee sho which measured 3e6 yards.
 Thomson's aggregate for 10 drivei was 3,407 yards. His average of 340.' yards was made all the more amaz' ing by the fact that he suffered l0' yard penalties on three shots tha scared out of bounds. One of thes, was a tremendous hit easily com. parable to his 386-yard peak poke.
 Strangely enough, for all his pow erhous prowess, 1t was the first lonl distance driving contest ever won by Thomson.
 And that 3s6-yard drive easily v..s 90 yards longer than any othel ball l ever hit" beams the well-set. up money player of Shawnee-on' Delaware.
 The Niagara Falls contest went { long way toward demonstrating what constitutes a long drove anC what merely is a piker effort in tn, highly specialized business of clout. ing @ golf ball.
 It would be difiicult to locate { better site for a long driving con. test than the first tee at the Look. out Point Golf course, few milci fro mNiagara Falls. The hole meas. ures APO yards and the command. ing elevation of the tee, i46 fee, above the green, assured additiona distance. The fairway was marked with chalklineS, similar to a rugz, field. Markers down the course con. ,, veyed the length of each drivt through a public address system t the scorer and gallery.
 Stars Did All That Was Expected
 Arthur Keeling, home profession. al. anticipated a 350-yard drive b, Thomson or some other Babe Rutt of the woods. With @ good stiff breeze back of him a club anna. teur this season drove e ball ir the neighbodhood Of 400 yards tt the edge of the green.
 All of the leading American pro. fessionals, exclusive of Yankee mem. bers of the Ryder cup team, par. ticipated in the Niagara Falls con. test. The competition called for 1, smacks, the high aggregate to de eide the winner, 6 qualifying com. petition, with three drives, beini held in the morning to put tht strongest 20 in the main event. Stocky Ed Oliver of Dilmington looked like chief ciahnatn wher one of his morning efforts carried to the 372-yard mark, for Thomsof was far below that in the qualifying round.
 Thomson's shots had to boom pasi the 350-yard mark, for Oliver ane Johnny Bulla of Chicago were aheat of him with totals that indicated trouble. Wild Bill Mehlhorn fiddlec around the 350-yard stripe, anc dropped one ball into the 15-fooi .OO" ct that distance to win a cass of beer. Harry Cooper was not cncs out of bounds in the 10-drive com. petition and three-drivc qualifier. fienceforth, the man who hits { ball 2D0 yards or thereabouts shoult feel like nothing else but a vcr' ordinary citizen.
