Cheapening of Ship Cruises.

sounding the knell to one Of the most
popular and economical types of
cruises-the ship as hotel arrange
ment.
Not until the present summer had
Bermuda, at least those who spon-
sored the law, seen a real threat of
"ship-hotel" crowds overrunning the
isles and, as the police broadcaster
would say. "disturbing the peace and
quiet of the neighborhood" The law
makers Of the famous resort, who
knew of the practice Of cruise ships
tying up at ports in the Caribbean
and saving their patrons hotel costs
by permitting day and night use of
staterooms, didn't like the idea and
in the words Of A. T. Gosling, chair
man of the Trade Development Board
and member of Bermuda Parlia-
ment, took this stand:
Bermuda has always enjoyed play
ing host to people who love the islands
for their quiet and beauty, but we
firmly believe that If ships are al
lowed to operate as hotels while lying
In our two harbors, the islands will
be faced eventually by economic ruin.
The act will in no way interfere with
bona fide cruise ships but when
giant ocean liners tie up alongside
our docks like huge floating hotels,
taking away the very livelihood of our
people, we feel We have a right to
protect our interest. We have made
Bermuda a place that is unique and
unspoiled; we only wish to continue
keeping it so. We feel that the great
American public itself would wish to

effect, set up tarin wall against
travellers who do not have or do not
care to spend the money at hotels.
Perhaps 1t fears "Coney Island" crowds,
persons who will flock to the isles and
elbow their best customers into the SEA.
The lay may be tough on travellers Just
out Of the price range, but isn't this
. parallel: The National Park Service
refuses to cater to the whims Of the
tourist who would dot the parks with
hot dog stands? It would spoil the
scenery. And travellers who cannot
quite afford to 60 to Bermuda might
bring In their wake q type Of scenery

GOOD NE|GHBOR'
LINERS TO SAIL
Luxury Tourist Service to
South America Begins
on October 8.

When the steamship Brazil sails
from New York Harbor Saturday, Oc-
tober 8, for Rio de Janeiro, Monte
Ndeo. Santos and Buenos Aires, Uncle
Sam will inaugurate the first de luxe
steamship service to South American
east coast ports in an effort to take
care Of rapidly expanding tourist and
freight trade between the Americas.
Three modern luxury liners, each
more than 600 feet in length and each
having displacement OF $4,000 tons,
will comprise the new good-neighbor
fieet, which will be operated by the
United States Maritime Commission
under the name Of the American Re-
publics Line.
$1,000,000 for Comfort.
The steamships assigned to the new
South American service are the Brazil,
Argentina and Uruguay, formerly the
Virginia, Pennsylvania and California,
operating in intercoastal service be-
tween New York and San Francisco.
Approximately $l,000,000 has been
spent recently to insure comfort and
convenience to passengers travelling
to our Southern neighbors aboard
these ships.
All three ships have up-to-date de
luxe appointments and are equal in
comfort, luxury and seaworthiness to
any of the transatlantic liners.
Each of the good-neighbor fleet
boats accommodates 400 first aud
tourist cloeS no ccoroor< erd oooh lo,
an average speed of 18 knots. They
are twin-screw and the largest turbo-
electric liners ever built in the United
States. They are provided with SWIM
ming pools and luxurious public
rooms, staterooms and suites. Pas
eenger accommodations are specially
adapted to tropical weather condi-
tions, and each vessel has general
cargo space of 100000 cubic feet and
refrigerated cargo space of los, 900
cubic feet
Supplies Service Demand.
For years existing steamship serv-
Ice between the east coasts of North
and South America has been con-
sidered inadequate. Because Of the
development of closer interna tional
relations between the United States
and the countries of South America
with resulting expansion of trade
and cultural ties, the United States
Maritime Commission decided last
spring that service between these
countries required immediate improve
ment. Whereupon the Maritime Com
mission acquired the three liners from
the Panama Pacific Line and i'm
mediately began the task of recon-
ditioning them. The Brazil was re-
conditioned at Newport News (Va.)
shipyard. and the Argentina and Uru-
quay were overhauled at the Bethle-
hem Shipbuilding Corp. Brooklyn, N.
Y. The New York shipping firm of
Moore & Mccormack Co., Inc, will
act as managing agents of the Ameri-
can Republics Line until January l
for the account of the Maritime Com
mission. After that date the Ameri-
can Republics Line will be operated
by Moore g. Mccormack under char
ter from the Government.

At THE risk of inviting lot of
fuzzy ideas about how the travel
industry should conduct its business
and what rates should be charged,
Pan American Always has disclosed
behind -the-scenes incident that led
to the establishment of "commuter'
rates between Baltimore-N New York and
Bermuda, effecting % per cent saw
ing in one-way clipper fare for those
families or business firms who can
use 10 round trips per year.
A Baltimore drug manufacturer, who
found the combination of air service
and Bermuda tailor made for his
quickie vacation desires, inspired the
rate by insisting, time after time, on
50-trip ticket. There was no such
thing. but perhaps it was a good idea,
officials of the line admitted behind
the counter. Checking old passenger
lists. Pan American found more than
a dozen regular travellers; in effect,
commuters. Records disclosed that

Isles every other week or so, almost
invariably inviting friends to 60 with
him. Other regulars" were found,
but the Baltimore man, F.. c. McCor-
mack. got the first 20-trip ticket.
Tickets are available to individuals
or companies, and are good IL months
from the date of purchase. The pur-
chaser's wife or husband, or children
over II, parents and even servants of
the household may use them. Any
bona f1de employe of the q business
firm buying commuter service also
is entitled to the rate. All he has to
do is to wrangle 1t out Of his boss. It
is not second class arrangement,
for no such service exists on the Clip

WITH even half knowledge of the
rate, the run-of- the-mine trav-

the tourist in the lower budget bracket
capitalize on the saving. In other
words, travel to Bermuda is not cheap
ened except for the man who can
shove 1000 across the counter And

fares to this extent, Bermuda itself

He talks knowingly of the spot and bandies about such words and phrases as "pelota," "cesta," "el Saque," "sale mucho," and pared grande," much to the confusion of everyone, including Senor Jacobs, the promoter. Senor Jacobs never has seen game of jai-alai-in fact, he only learned yesterday that it is pronounced "hi-li" and not jay alley"-but he has poured thou sands of dollars into the construc- tion of court and-to use his own words-believes it will sweep New York like Grant took Richmond.

BLUNT TO BOX
 MANN TUESDAY

New Haven, Sept. 2--A record gate for 1888 is likely to be set at the White City Stadium oil next Tuesday night when Nathan Mann, the Hamden heavyweight who is striving to cnce again make the tcp bracket in the unlimited division, meets up with Eddie Blunt, 215- pound colorcd man from New York.
 A short iine ago Q gate of better than $6,000 was checked off when Mann entered the ring against Steve Carr, a light heavyweight who failed to last :wo rounds with the heavy punching Hamden youth
 Three years before Carr Tad de- ciSioned Mann. but Ill the time that passed Nate grew more experi- enced, more rugged. and Carr was on the way out. Despite the fact that Carr wasn't conceded much of chance, and actually didn't have chance, the fight fans went for the bout because of the prospect of seeing Mann ;n action.
 In next Tuesdays battle the lure is much more attractive, much more sound. Blunt is capable heavy weight, hard hitter who will car- ry 25 pounds more than Mann, and he has record of having defeated Al Gainer, one of the fighters Nate has evaded ever since he drew on gloves.

Today's Sport Parade
By HENRY McLEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent

New York, Sept. 2.-(UP)-Jai- alai, a Spanish game played with 8 goat skin ball, wicker basket, three cement walls and great risk of lie, was introduced to New York yesterday by Mike Jacobs, the "Ill- try-anything-once" sports entre- preneur.
 Jacobs gave the. sport and 50 of its greatest players formal con- ing-out party in his Hippodrome, the mezzanine floor of which had been transformed into someone's idea of a bit of old Spain. There was a mammoth bar, laden with bottles of those exotic Spanish drinks-rye, scotch, bourbon and presided over by dignified don of bartender named Butch. Tables were heavy with such Siberian deli cacies as ham-on-rye, Swiss cheese, salami and gooseliver sandwiches.
 A bevy of "senoritas," splendidly outfitted in mantillas and combs, swished madly about the place, speaking in the soft, out-of-the- corner-of- -the-mouth accent that is genuine only to Latins from Man. hattan. Senor Mushy Jackson, whose hacienda commands a sweep ing view of the Tenth avenue ele- vated tracks, led a band through the strains of that haunting Span- ish air, "Flat Foot Floogie With the Floy- -Floy," and some of the local
