Harolds Weeks, Columbia TTnlversIty's famous half-back for the past two seasons, Is a new member of the 'var
sity boat crew this year, and promises to make as »rood a record as he did o n the gridiron. He is a marvellous
athlete and has the strength and stamina of a champion. Columbia has al ways made an enviable record on the
water, that being her strongest point in athletics, and her crew this year is said to be better than usual.
SIR THOMAS UPTON SAYS IT IS
SPORT THAT MAKES THE MAN.
Thinks the American Boy Is Ahead of
His Englisii Cousin—Usually Some
thing Wrong With a Lad Who
Does Not Care for Athletic
Sports—His Ideas on
Sports.
Waterloo, we have all heard, was wo a
at Eton. Equally on other play-field3
have great battles of business been
gained. Exercise and open-air spor.s
and pastimes, no less—and sometimes
more—than office application and the
pending over books, go to making of
commercial success.
I was brought up on the banks of the
Clyde. Many an hour did I spend as a
boy by the riverside, watching the craft
and indulging in day dreams. My parents
were poor, so that I could not afford the
luxury of a yacht except in imagination.
For there, sure enough, was the mental
picture of the "not impossible She"—no
woman of the poet's fancy, but a white
sailed lady of the seas.
The allusion, by the way, has its own
aptitude. The "not impossible She" of
early dreams turns, in inconstant life, to
several possible "shes;" and my ladies
of the sea. too, now number three—
Shamrock, Erin and Shamrock II. When
ever I had a shilling to spare in those
early days I was certain to lay it out
on the hire of a boat. When, as often
happened, my purse was empty, I prof
fered my services as steersman for the
sake of a sail. Then, as now, this was
my favorite sport. But horse exercise
also has been always well in the run
ning. And with these the tale of my
recreations is but at the beginning.
When I see a boy who does not care
for cricket or football, I conclude that
there is something wrong about him; I
have the feeling that he cannot be in
good health. Out-door sports ought, in
mÿ opinion, to come to the > r oung is
naturally as fod. In all warehouses and
factories where there are enough em
ployes, I strongly advocate the forma
tion of football and cricket teams and
of tennis clubs. In my own firm are
footballers and cricketers who can hold
their own against any similar associa
tion in London.
My lady clerks have a tennis club. We
also have frequent dances. I have al
ways thought dancing a fine exercise. It
works well, too, with another exercise
very different in kind, but a very healthy
Dne in its own way—the ascent of the
Ladder of Fortune. There is a good old
expression about "dancing for joy." That
is the real dancing. Byron somewhere

speaks of the young ladies who have to
waltz for a husband. That is almost as
far removed as the dancing behind tf.e
footlights for a living from the real
spontaneous movement that expresses
"joy of our youth," and is health-giving.
Music does not come to all naturally,
and musicians, like poets, I know, be
born, not made, or must at any rate be
both born and made. But I would have
music taught elementarily to all. That
is a part of education still to much neg
lected. Singing and playing are among
the real recreations of life, if only as
indoor resource during bad weather,
when you are not in the mood for books
and when companions become (as the
best sometimes will) a little bored with
each other. I may add that I have
played the violin in my own fashion
since I was 10 years old.
I would go so far as to urge compul
sory military Grill in schools. I am a
volunteer, and am now forming a com
pany among my own employes. The
moderns have a good deal to learn in
these matters from the ancients. I am
aware that Athens was not saved by the
gymnasium or the military college; but
the young Athenian became decadent in
spite of, not because of, physicial exer
cises.
It is hardly necessary to ask me if I
am a believer in Saturday's half-holiday
and Sunday's rest. I have no hesitation
in saying that it is a mistake, mentally
and physically, for any man to work,
seven days without ceasing, however
young and strong he may be, and how
ever ardent to make strides in business.
Off hours from my business I spend as
far as possible in the open air. I leave
behind me the city at night. Even now,
when of necessity I dine frequently In
London, I drive ten miles into the coun
try to sleep. The extra trouble and the
loss of time are well repaid by the pure
air. That is my opinion, and I leave
others the smile at the suburbs.
Gardening, I agree with Lord Tenny
son in thinking, the most perfect of re
creations—it gives you just enough to
think about to be a complete distraction,
yet not enough to worry you. And it is
work-play done under delightful con
ditions. The hour in the garden at the
beginning of the day or at its close is
worth many sacrifices in the winning.
Though I have never been able to get to
bed before midnight, I am always up at
7—an allowance for sleep that is less
by an hour than Lord Palmerston gave
out as indispensable—at any rate for
statesmen. Other spare half hours at
home go to outdoor games—cricket, golf,
tennis and bowls. If one must be in
doors, game of billiards I find to be a
grand exercise. You walk miles, eo be
gin with; and a private table is a great
attraction to keep together the younger
members of a household in the evenings.
From all this, it follows that I am
not a great theater-goer- I do not think
I have sat out a play more than twelve
times in my life, and never did I do so
till the last very few years. My parents
being old-fashioned and church-going,
had never seen the glare of the foot
lights; and I felt that I could not prop
erly allow the time to give myself up to
being amused for so long by other peo
ple—and in a vitiated atmosphere. I felt
I could do better to myself. Half an
hour in a music hall seemed to be a dif
ferent matter—you could hear the song
you wished to hear and then come away.
All the same, some of the nicest people I
have ever known belong to the stage.
Sport and gambling are often supposed
to be inseparable. Many millions of dol
lars are put upon yacht racing, but never
a dollar by me. I have yet to make my
first bet. I race purely for the pleasure
of the sport; and I would not bet on my
own boat or any other.
I think the American boy is ahead of
the English boy. I find that in America
the managers of large concerns are often
very youthful- In England their youth
would be a disqualification. It would not
command respect. A man must look old
before he is thought to look wise. That
I believe to be a great error of policy in
the affairs of a nation, a business firm,
or a family.
I hold, therefore, that It would be a
good thing to send every English boy
to America when he Is 17, and to keep
him there for a couple of years. I flrat
went to the states when I was II, and
my experiences at various places, all «ver
the country, were the best commercial
training I ever had. I find that appren
ticeship still stands by me, and it helped
me, more than anything else, to the po
sition I occupy.
And now, let me add, T go to America
again to win something else If possible—
the Cup. "Do I really expect to lift the
cup?" is a question I am often asked.
Well, If I did not think victory possible
there would be no use at all In my en
tering the list. Of course I am not cer
tain that I am going to win. but I feel
that I have got just as good a chance to
lift the cup as have the Americans to
keep it- Moreover, if I were certain to
win there would be no sport in the at
tempt—the pleasure that comes from the
effort and the uncertainty would be gone.
It is the alternative of hope or fear that
gives interest to the game.
I look forward with great delight to my
forthcoming visit. The English people
are still in part Ignorant of the true
sporting qualities of the Americans. 1
who know, can frankly say that they are
an example to the world in their metu
ods of manly sport. I feel I am going
among the truest of friends who will
give my interest as much care as if my
boat had been buiit in America, and who
will give me as much justice as if I my
self were a citizen of the United States.
The truth of the matter is. that I can
never sufficiently acknowledge the good
will and kindness shown me in America.
I take it so thoroughly to heart, that If
I were not able to pay for a challenger.
and I had to appeal for money to enter ;
the contest, it would be to America thaï
I should turn.
Well, I do not think there is any chanc
of my requiring that—for another race or ;
two, anyhow.

J .E. Gorman at San Francisco Estab
lishes New Scores at 50 and
100 Yards.
(By Associated Press.)
San Francisco, May 27.—J. E. Gorman
of the Golden Gate Rifle and Pistol c}u^>
broke the 50 and 100-shot world's plftql
records at 50 yards at the Shellmoynn
ranges yesterday. The score for the J'fl
shots was made up of two strips
of 50. j, „
The size of the first string was 46?.
On the second string Gorman made £l)e
wonderful sCbre of 474, breaking the pre
vious world's record of 471, which vas
held by himself and a Boston crack
shot.
The total for the two strings was 342,
which surpassed ail previous record», by
eight.
BANASTER UNFIT FOR RACIflK»
Winner of the Metropolitan Handicap
Probably Will Mot Ban Again n
This Season.
New York, May 17.—Banaster, son of
Farondole, favorite in the Brooklyn
handicap of Saturday, may not race
again this year.
The winner of the Brooklyn handicap
two years ago and of the Metropolitan
handicap this season, was cut down early
in his last race and so badly hurt that
at least until autumn he must remain oft
the track.
This statement was made last night
by Charles Hill, the trained of Banaster,
at the request of Clarence H. Mackey,
owner of the horse.
ROWAN-HAY ES FIGH T TONIGHT
The Deaf Mute Pugilist and the Colored
Heavyweight to Box at
Anaconda.
"Dummy" Rowan, champion middle
weight deaf mute pugilist, and Ik,
Hayes, the colored scrapper, will try
conclusions with the mitts at Turner
hall. Anaconda, tonight. Manager And."
King of the Anaconda Athletic club,
predicts a rattling good fight. The pre
liminary go will be at eight rounds to a
decision between Jack Kelly and Tommy
Maher.
Interest In the main event Is said to
be intense. Both men have their quote,
of supporters ,and even money finds fre
quent takers. Several bets of $100 have
been posted. Hayes is considered by
many to have the decision cinched. He
weighs at least 20 pounds more than
Rowan, and that fact is reckoned as
too great an advantage to overcome.
Hie mute, however, thinks he can win
despite y,e weight he concedes, and
there are many who are willing to back
his confidence with cash.
Rowan finished his training yesterday
with a nine-mile run after his usual bout
with his brother "Silent" Rowan, and a
vigorous half-hour at the punching bag.
Hayes also finished his hard training
yesterday, but limbered up a little this
afternoon by skipping the rope and
punching the bag.
AMERICAN CRACK SHOTS SAIL

SPORTING ITEMS IN BRIEF.
The annua' track and Held champion
ship of the inter-collegiate association
of the Amateur Athletic Association of
America, was concluded Saturday at the
Berkeley y.al, New York.
As anticipated the battle for the cham
pionship cup was fought out to the bit
ter end, and when the final reckoning
came, the anxious boys from New Haven
saw with dismay Harvard the victor by
the splendid score of 44 points.
To the surprise of the spectators Cor
nell took fourth place with 15 well earn
ed points. It is the first time in her
many years of competition at the games
trot the Ithaca institution has scored
a first, and when Gallagher trotted
home in the two-mile run and Sears out
ran all competitors in the 220 yards not
a man on the grounds begrudged her
two first prizes.
The University of Pennsylvania is
relegated to seventh place, after having
held the championship for the past four
years. Harvard has not won the cham
pionship since 1802.
On the basis of five points for first,
three points for second, two points for
third ,and one point for fourth, the fol
lowing table shows the score: Harvard
44, Ya'.e 30 5-6, Princeton 16 1-6, Cornell
15, Georgetown 10, Michigan 4 2-3, Penn
sylvania 5 5-6, Columbia 5, New York 5,

Eave Husbands and the police had to
qvtell a general mixup, Mayor Weaver of
Louisville has decided that he can no
lr nger tolerate the sport there, and has
called the attention of the board of

scheduled for the near future were bouts
between Garvin and Hart of Louisville
