Had ho known, lie would have omitted "No nun are necessary." j.)r James K. Sullivan was necessary, as time, will prove. There Is no man In eight to take his place and this is no disparagement whatever to the hosts of estimable gentlemen identified with the promo tion and government of amateur sport. Their various vocutlons do not dove tail into the business the way Jim Sullivan did. The fact that Mr. Sullivan's private business was benefited by the growth 'f Hort has been the theme of many tui attack on the man and the honesty ef his purpose, but through all these Marks, which have gone on twenty .wars or more, the sterling character of Jumes E. Sullivan stood out in such hold relief that Ids belittlcrs have been put to shame. International honors, heaped upon him by three American presidents, European kings, princes and lesser potentates, further uttest tlie worth of the man, in striking con trust to his detractors.

There are other houses handling the same line as Spalding, and Sullivan helped them all. for truly he was the boiler that always had a full head of Fleam on the good ship Sport, and he kept the ship he loved going at full speed. It was," in deed a peanut brain that begrudged any lirm prosperity in nthletio goods In view of the obvious benefits to man kind generally from the sports that Sullivan gave his life to boom. It was for the good of the game that Jomes V., Sullivan l ad a job and back ers who benetlted by the time he gave to athletics. Otherwise he would no nave lieen aide to give said time, in which case athletics would not be the factor In American life that it Is today lie was a rare friend, an Intense enemy, but always scrupulously fair as it was given him to see the right, says the Kvcning Wisconsin. When some one he had befriended took a shot at him, he was xud at being mistaken In his judgment of mankind. These In grates never angered him. He was too big a man. James K. Sullivan Inherited the Amateur Athletic I'nion from Kather Kill Curtis, its founder, and he raised it from an unsteady, tottering babe to a great power in the amateur pport of the entire world. Now that he's gone to Join Father Kill, we hope the fates have a man in store to keep their her itage whole.

Three world's automobile record on a one mile circular dirt track were broken at Maxwellton field this week by Rur- ney Oldfleld. Oldfleld et new marita hy' making a mile In :44, two miles In 1-27, and five miles In 3:40 2-5. The former records In the first two events were made by Oldfleld and the five mile track wa et by Di-row about two year ago. New York, Sept. 23. Though no agreement has been reached that no changes uhall be made to the cup yachts during the coining winter, it in certain that no advantage will be tak en of the unfortunate postponement to alter materially either of the three do fenders or the Shamrock IV., the chal lenger. The Shamrock IV. ia hauled out at Shewan's yard In South Krook lyn, and a shed of corrugated iron has been built over the yacht which com pletely shuts it from the public gaze and protects it from the weather. The Resolute is in the shop in which she was built at tho Herreshoff yard at Krbstol and will remain there until wnnted. The Vanltie and Defiance, are hauled out at City Island and carefully covered. Yachtmen here think that it is only fair that the three defenders bhould finish out their scraps to determine which Is the best boat just as they are at present. They figure that no chang es ure necessary to tho Resolute and that no hanging of form could im prove her speed. The Vanltie might be Improved slightly by taking off her rail and perhaps by cutting off five feet of her after overhang and putting the weight below, and the Defiance might be improved by removing her lead and recasting it so that the weight would be put much lower. To make these changes, however, thev think would not be fair to the challenger, which because she is here must be kept practically as she Is, would be Just as fair, they argue, for the defenders of the cup to build a new yacht. They would have lots of time to do that and could profit murh l what has been learned of the Sham rock IV.. but there are few who think that It will be necessary tJ build a new yacht. They think that the defence o the cup Is in safe keeping. Should Stand Pat Lipton Sir Thomas Lipton Is credited with having said he would like the New York Yacht club to select the defendt now and then keep the Shamrock IV and the defender as they are until tho time comes for them to race. There Is one (itrong objection, however, to this plan, according to a member the cup committee. When the terms to govern the raees were drawn up it was agreeu ny uie defending anil challenging clubs that after the defender had been selected the club should not select another yacht in the event of an accident to tho one pelected. At that time It was thought that there would bo a post ponement because of the war, and the defender was to be nnnounced one week before the date set for th first race. If tne dun selected me Jtesoiuic now and the Herreshoff, chops should be burned down during the winter and tho Resolute destroyed the elub would be without a defender unless the chal longing cluh agreed to waive that con dit ion. Charles Francis Adams 2d, who handled the Resolute. Is in favor of the defender being selected as early as possible. It is not necessary to an nounce publicly the name of the yacht selected until the last moment, but as Alexander S. Cochran has admitted tht the Resolute is a better all around boat than the Vanltie Mr. Adams would like to have the Resolute se lected early In the season and the Van ltie held as a trial boat. As the yachts have been sailing changes have been made on each. Wants More Trial Races. The Vanltie has been changed a often as the Resolute and while the Rem lute has won the majority of races there Is no way of telling whether the changes have been beneficial. Mr. Ad orns would like the Vanltie to be kept in one trim nnd condition and to be raced consistently against the Reso lute. Then they could experiment with the Resolute and find out exactly how to trim the yacht to get her best speed, and In this way the Vanltie would be doing a real service to the Resolute. Mr. Cochran The proceeds of the annual Army-Navy football contest, after the expenses have been paid are divided between the Army and Navy . Relief socie ties. The following is the amount of money turned over to the associations for games plaed on the University of Kennsylvanla field: 1903, $, 071.20; 1504, $8..15.0S; 1906, J3. 208.12; 19U7. $4,057.79; IKON, $2, 022.28; 190H, no game; 1910, $7,428.17; 1911, $3.7.0; 1912, $12,010.47.

Australian oarsmen, writing to friend in this country, express keen regret that the Harvard university second crew, winner of the grand chal lenKe cup at Henley, could not accept the Invitation to row, at tho Hanley- on-Yarra regatta next month. It was hoped to have tho Americans enter for the grand challenge or the stewards' cups. Australian rowing enthusiasts take great pride in the Ynrra regatta, which is an annual fixture and takes place in October, in the Australian spring. Since its Inception the function has grown steady In popularity, and is now witnessed by a tremendous gathering, second only to the crowd which at tends tne l'lemington race course on Melbourne cup day. This latter draws some 80,000 spectators. As a spectac ular display It may fairly bo compared with tho English Henley, and although the Yarra course lacks tho historic en vironment and the daintiness which characterizes the Thames course the Melbournites have done much to beau tify the banks of their river by land scape gardening, nnd thus enhance what has come to be the national wa termanship event of the Island conti nent. Since the Australians won Henley in 1912 the Yarra regatta authorities have endeavored to impart an Interna tional aspect to the affair, and recently tried, but unsuccessfully, to induce 8- oared crews to compete. It Is hoped that within a year or two the famous crews of both the Slate and England may be persuaded to make the long ttlp, as .tho Davis cup tennis teams have done In the past. WELSH IN VAUDEVILLE.

As but three games remain to be played between the two teams the season's series goes to the Superhas. what he wns built for. Mr. Cochran hns said that the Vanltie was built for cup defenso and It did not matter which yacht was selected, as the two were working together to develop the best speed possible. One well known yachtsman, talking of plans recently, said he hoped that. should the war be over In time, the series of races might be arranged for next June or early In the season, and then he would like to have the Sham rock IV. remain here and take part In the tegular regattas, selling against the Defiance and Vanltie as well as the Resolute. For those races changes might be made In the Vanltie and De fiance to Improve their speed. With four big yachts, one from the other side of the Atlantic, taking part In the American League.

Accirdiug to unofficial average the Giants have it on the Kraves in bat ting, but tlie Stalling clan has a shade on the McGrawltes In fielding. It looks us though Fritz Malsel will suoeed Clyde Milan as king of the base-steulers, as the Yankee Inflelder Is now leading both the American and National leagues in sack-pllferlng. Churley Clancy is making quite a rec ord us a minor league pilot. In the four years he has managed the Winston-Salem North . Carolina league team Clancy has won three pennants.
