Than almost any other Summer months. Vacations, y’know.
So there must be travelling necessities bought, and at good
prices.
How are these?
Cochran Thought it More Fun to
Build Own Yacht Than to Join
The “Flag Officers Syndicate.”
London.—When the “flag officers’
syndicate," which built the Resolute,
was formed, Alexander Smith Coch
ran. young carpet manufacturer and
many times a millionaire, was asked
to join Mr. Cochran thought it over
and then decided it would be more
fun to have a cup candidate all his
own. So he built the Vanitie.
“I believe it will create more inter
est in yachting,’ 'he said, and he added
to “William Gardner, the designer, “If
I can send out a boat which can win
cup defence honors, I shall be deeply
gratified. But I shall not be displeased
If my boat, even though beaten, re
sults in keener trials and makes the
ultimate defender a faster and better
racing craft.”
Mr. Cochran is not the superficial
sportsman who goes on board hi* boat
only on racing days and turns all de
tail work over to the sailing master.
He works right along with the men 1n
preparing the yacht for gruelling con
tests, and is seldom absent very long
from his cup candidate. He is watch
ing closely every move during the long
thirty-mile race, for he hopes to be
skillful enough to handle a big racing
craft himself at some future time.
Mr Cochran is 38 years old and a
beclelor. He is tall and slim and
weabs a close-cropped moustache A
few years ago, after a severe illness,
he was compelled to live in New Mex
ico for a long time because of threat
ened lung trouble He returned in ro
bust health and in recognition of his
cure gave 3250,000 toward the estab
lishment of a tuberculosis hospital at
Yonkers, where he makes his home.

became a famous racing craft both
here and abroad. He made the late
Captain Barr skipper of the new
schooner and with him in command
the Westward captured all the prizes
worth while here for two years, and
then crossed the Atlantic on a trophy
hunt.
This was very successful. The fast
American schooner captured cups both
at Kell and in Kngllsh waters, and a
wealthy German yachtsman became so
enthushlastlc over the racing qualities
of the Westward that he Induced Mr.
Cochran to sell her.
A large fortune was left to Mr.
Cochran by an uncle who died a feu
years ago. Most of It was Invested
In a big carpet making plant at Yonk
ers. Several thousands of employes
are now at work In this plant. Soon
after Mr. Cochran inherited the carpet
mills he went to work to learn the
business “from the ground up.” He
put on working clothes and went right

Cochran works ran along without dis

Wants Ban Lifted Against College
Balltossers Playing for Money
During the Summer Months.
And now conies one Anthony I). Pa
dula, of Worcester, Mass-, who gets
himself in awfully bad with the col
lege authorities by remarking that he
sees no wrong in a college baseball
player playing for money during the
summer months.
Padula has followed college affairs
for man. years. Pew or the eolleglate
doings have eseaped him. He is re-

he Is due to be shot at Biinrise or

There Is great weight in what Pa
dula says. And his Ideas are right.
What's the difference whether a stu
dent helps to t ay his school expens.rs
by working during the summer at tu

lamps, waiting table at a summer re
sort, or playing baseball?

others on the fake order as some of
them are doing now.
The college authorities, from time
immemorial, have attempted to ban
the college stars Trom playing base
ball for pay during the summer, by
merely forbidding It and by taking
away the players amateur status when
discovered. But the collegiate star,
who needs the money, willingly lias
taken the chance of discovery by
laying under an assumed name.
Home have been caught in the act—
but they are the exception-

the summer season do isn't seem to

the player, and assuming the a.vtude
that he Is doing the player a favor by

about it.
If the ban were lifted It would work
out greatly to the advantage of the
college star. The baseball manager
could hill the collegian as one of the
stars of the team. It would make a
good drawing card for the minor
league teams. The attendance, no
doubt, would Increase visibly and the
manager on the strength of this, oonfrt
afford to tjive the collegian double
the salary that he pays him for work
ing under cover.

Farther than this, the collegian
could force the basrbilf owner* to hid

snHp up the first offer, as he usually
does under present conditions. He
could force the bidding to a rbteh
what he really Is worth as a player
and an attraction.
Padilla argues that permitting a
collegian to play hall during the sum
rner months would greatly benefit the
player und add to his sklil.
“As matters sand now," he says,
"most of the players lay aside the hat
and hall after commune -merit and do
not touch them again until the next
spring when they begin cage work-"
“This Is had. The college players’
season is short much too short. Of
eouse, he begins prattle ■ late In the

"The practise of suddenly cutting

English Billiard Champion Outlines

Til* difference between American

ed at present is ho marked that no
International match between the cham
pions in the two games has been held
in years. Mr Inman believe* that tfie
formulation of a standard game to Ire

to put billiards In Its proper pl&co

Willie Hoppe, the American cham

Veteran billiard players who remem

champion of that day, defeated John
Roberts, the KngllHh champion, In the

cate that feat. Hoppe will not have
such a difficult task, however, Inas
much as Inman will be under as big
a handicap In playing the American
game as Hoppe will Ire under in play
ing the Kngllsh game. Ives, when he
went to Knglan*! in 1X93,* played the
Kngllsh champion at his own game
and defeated him 6,000 to 3,821 The
defeat was such a shock to the Kng

The materials are cheviots, poplins and garba
iines, but the colors arc charmingly new and
original. Among the prettiest is the walnut
brown and a shade of green between a nile and a
pastel green.
The lines are close fitting and soft, but only
in appearance. As a matter of fact the skirts
of the suits are much fuller than skirts have
been for the past two or three years, and the
skirts of the coats, though long, are sufficiently
full to hang free of the skirt beneath, and to
permit of the freest and most graceful move
ments on the part of the wearer.
Large collars and large revers, carrying out
the effect of the surout and Paddock coat, are
the unfailing of Fall suits. Deep girdles
on coats, sometimes effecting an Empire waist,
and frequently dropping the skirt of the coat far
below the waist line are also unique features of
the new suits. Lines are far from straight and
severe, though both may he found in Fall
styles.

lonian In the present matches does
not nek Hoppe to play the Kngllsh
game. The matches will be for «,l)li0
points apiece, Just half of which will
be played in each game. For instance,
a match will be started under the
I'.ugllah game and when a player has
obtained 3,001) point* |n that, game, h*
w4ll start playing the other game. The
two games are very different and ate
played on different tables, and it Is
difficult, even for a marvel like Hoppe,
to change from one to the other. Bach
player expects to win at hi* own game
and lose at his opponent's game, and 'it
will be a. question of how well they
can do at their opponent's game which
will probably decide the match.
English Gsma.
The Kngllsh game Is played on a
much larger table than that used tpr
the American game. The English tg
hie has six pockets, like those on a
pool .side. In addition to making the
carom#, point* are scored when .a
carom Is made and the cue trail Is
pocketed. This play Is considered one
of the fine points of the game.
Both lloppe and Inman will hays
had practically two months' practice
st each other's game before the
matches start at the Hotel Astor oh
September 28.
Hoppe is planning to make an in
vasion of England in February, when
he hopes to duplicate the feat of Ives
In 1833 by defeating the Kngllsh stars
at their own gams.
