K0XE STRINGS ON UPTON CUP

NEW TORK. Dec tt. If Sir Thomas
Llpton expected that hi 13,000 International
challenge cup, presented to the Brooklyn
Yacht club, would bs offered for contest
under elastic conditions, he will be sadly
disappointed whan he receives a copy of
the deed of gift adopted by the organisa
tion. As th condition stand they hedge
the new trophy even more definitely that
the conditions attached to. the America's
cup, 'and It Is not considered likely thai
ther will be any particular rush on the
part of foreign yachtsmen to challenge for
the new cup.
A radical section of th club'e member
ship was willing to offer the Upton trophy
practically without conditions, but the Idea
was overruled. The deed of gift, however,
will permit races by yachts smaller than
those neoesaary In a contest for the blue

at thirty-five feet If a sloop and forty ffl

the first race of a series for the trophy,
which virtually eliminates any chases of a
contest next year.

K OASTS F02 RHODES SCHOLARS
Cantab Kick 00 the American Ath
letes at Oxford.
LONDON. Dec. . The Rhodes scholars
at Oxford are coming In for some criticism
Just now, and not a few of th Cambridge
partisans assert that they should be ex
cluded altogether fro mtaklng part in the
track and field snd other sports. Some go
as fsr aa to call them professionals, and
th common term for the student by
warm follower of th Light Blu Is
"games scholar." Of course every Cantb
Is not of this opinion, and not long since s
Cambridge publication time out with an
editorial in praise of the Rhode men at
Oxford and pointing out what a benefit
they were to the Dark Blue. WTiat has
brought along thi attack of late in more
virulent form wa the fact that no less
than seven of the Rfiodeslan distinguished
themselves at their studies.
In th fall sport of the colleges they
have been prominent, too. In the recent
ports of Hertford colllege the strangers'
hammer was won by D. T. Herring, an
American, with a throw of 114 feet He
had a handicap of 40 feet on A. M. Stevens,
formerly of Yale, and whose actual throw
was 13 feet, t Inches, which Is th best
performance so far this season. In a re
eent Issue of 8portlng life "Old Blue
takes liberal view of the Rhodes scholar
controversy as follows:
Everybody must hsve noticed there is a
spirit abroad which, if it .doe not ctually

argument is right out of court. It wa'

T hav read your poker stories, espe
cially those emanating from old Oreenhufs
saloon at Arkansas City." esys a corre--pondent
of the New Tork Sun, "but I
hsve never yet been Introduced to any
episode which In respect of the wonderful
snd grotesque compared with the actual,
authenticated facta of the game In which
the late Duncan F. Kenner of Louisiana
lost more than $20,000 on a single hand and
under circumstances which forbade sbo
luteJy the suspicion of foul play.
"Duncan F. . Kenner was one of the
wealthiest slsve owners and sugar plsnters
In his then opulent state. He fancied
horse and among other diversions rsced
them. Ha owned the great Lecompt. who
beat Lexington on th old Mtrt track
!n New Orleans for a bet of 110.000 at four
miles. Lexington subsequently beat Lo
compte's time for a similar purse on the
same trsclr. This, however, is ancient his
tory and I refer to It only to identify the
hero or victim of my story.
"In those days-the later '60s of the last
century the big rich planters used to meet
In New Orleans every winter, spend some
weeks and much money at the opera, so
cially and otherwise, and then disperse tn
their homes at th close of the so-called
'season.' Xt was upon the occasion of one
of these homegolngs by a number of the
wealthy planters of the Upper CosaC that
Mr. Knner encountered the srtontshing -perlenc
I wish to relate. The trip from
v.. Orleans to Donaldsvill was about 10
miles by the river and th big planter-1
of Ascension. Plaquemlne, BU lnaries ami
Baton Rouge were used to whll away the
time by pleytng poker. Thers was no limit
save the conscience of the Individual. The
straight flush was unknown. Four sees
were Invincible, and the plsyeia were
friends of long standing And Intimate ac
quaintance. The thought of dishonesty or
frsud was quit lmpoble. On the occa
slen I have In mind the play was unuull
high, ven for the wealthy spendthrifts
sathered at th board. And Mr. Kenner.

beta were running high and It occurred to
him to fool them by discarding his see,
drawing one card and betting away up In
the sky. He did 1L But a gentleman on
the other side of the tsble who held three
aces at the start and who hsd to be helped
from the discard-Where were eight player
In the game happened to draw Mr. Ken
ner s rejected ace snd beat him. as I have
already Indicated, for the sum of $20,000, all
told.
"I know that this story hss been told In
various forms by vsrious chronlclera But
here I give you the real fact of the case.
The Fame was played in 1S5T or 185$ and
Mr. Kenner himself told me the whole story
In New Orleans more thsn a quarter of a
century later.
"He never touched a card at poker sfler

which would attract hlgh-cla American
mechanic to settle, rear families, dwell at

thought and energie to the lndutry In
which their best skill was In demand. It
ess the "new lda" advanced by th
chief of the gret Roebllng Arm. How
well it ha worked out, and the amasir.g

th extraordinary birth rate.
There are no saloons to tempt th
mechanic to waste his money and Impair
hi facultlea. Hence, there are no neglected
famtlle. no ragged children, and po starv
ing wive and mothers. However, any man
wbo wants to ran go to nearby towna and
drink, but it will cost him his position if
he creates disorder In the street sf Roeb
