TOnTSMOt'TH, England, July 18.
Shamrock IV, Sir Thomas Tipton's chal
lenger for tho America's cup, under con
voy jot the steam yacht Erin, tailed this
afternoon for Falmouth, whence It will
utart for tho United States.
Shamrock IV lion been rigged as a
ketch for Its voyage aoroas tho Atlantlo
iind will carry only half of Its racing
crew tf thirty men. Charles 13. Nichol
son, tho designer; William P. Uurton,
who Is to bo tho racing skipper, and Cap
tain Turner, who will act an skipper dur
ing the voyage will be on board the
yacht.
The remainder of the crew will be on
Sir Thomas' steam yacht Erin, whlcn
will act as convoy and will In case of
necessity tow the Shamrock IV. The
problem of getting the Shamrock across
the Atlantlo' under Its own salU tc al
most as great ns that of racing It, and
the ship's builders and crew have been
busy with preparations since tho last
trials.
Tho single mast, which looks ao large
by contrast with tho small hull, hah been
shortened by , tho removal . pt tho top
matt, and a second small mast erected
far oft to carry a small mtzzen sail. In
case of bad weather tho Shamrock can
all only Its foresail and lta small mix
xensoll. '
The two yachts will so on a southerly
course and will stop for rest and sup
plies at the Azores. There the comple
ment of men for the Shamrock will be
shifted. Tho men who take It to the
Azores will chance places with those on
the Erin.
Th echallenger, painted pea green, with
lta stumpy rig, temporary lilgU rails for
the protection of Its crew and lifeboats
on its decks, presented by no means tho
smart appearance It displayed whllo rue
lnr. It looked ahlp-shape, however.
Cilveii llcnrty Send-Otf,
The yacht passed through tho lines of
the fleet lying hero and wan given u
hearty aepd-pft by the warships excur
u on steamers and yachts, which wished
It good luck by sounding' their slrena,
whllo many of the craft hoisted aham
r, ck flagts at their mastheads
V considerable amount of the chal
lenger'a racing gear was taken on board
the Erin, while tho rest was sent to
America on a liner
Among Sir Thomas Llpton's guests on
tho Erin were Colonel Nelll and tho
carl of Hardwlcke Tho tatter will trans
fer to the Shamrock at the Azores and
work his passage as an wblo seaman for
the rest of tho voyage. He enld he hoped
to make good and to be given a perma
nent job as a member of the Shamrock's
raring crew .
Tho earl of Hardwlcke has led an ad
venturous life as a cowboy In Texas and
an a miner In Montana. He comes from

Now this same Al M. Adams had a good
reason for coming early. Ho had heard
thnt Omaha was bigger than It wns some
years ago when ho was In the city, so he
thought he could not cover tho town In n.
dingle day. So hn camo In, wont to the
eighteenth floor of tho Woodmen of tho
World building and looked over tho city.
Ho looked over tho sea of buildings of
which ho could not see the end. E. V.
Pnrrlsh of the publicity bureau took him
to tho roof of the aky scraper, and let
him look and look nnd look.
"And Just to think," said Adams, "and
just to think thnt nil thin could build up
slnco I wna here."
Not llorv Since ''sixtlea.
Now tho facts are Adamn wan once an
Omaha man. That wns away back In
tho rlxtlca. Since then hn has not been
In Omahn.
"Oh, yes, I had heard that It had grown
to ho a big city." ho said, "but I never
dreamod It was llko this. This Is a trip
worth whllo for me. And thoro Is the old
Union Pacific bridge," he cxclalmcd,yturn
Ing his fnco.to the southeast. "I was horo
long- beforn thnt waa built."
Adnnia then related that ho was em
ployed with the Union Pacific hero In tho
very early dnys. Also ho related thnt ho
worked for tho company until tho Central
Paclfla company was united with It and
that ho wna ono of tho 700 men discharged
an a result of the merger.
Mr. Adams In sightseeing nround town
wultlng for tho re.-t(of tho editors to got

SULLIVAN TELLS OF THE MEET
Rules f II I ir International Tournii
ntmt lltvlaed nil American
Standards Adopted for
Nenrly Every Contest.
NEW YORK, July W.-The silver
trophy, symbolic of victory In the Olym
pic games, won In the 1912 games by
America, was brought here today by
James E. Sullivan, secretary of tha Ama
teur Athletic union, who arrived today
from Paris. It has thun far been held
by France, England, Denmark, Germany, !
Sweden and the United States.
Speaking of the Increased Interest taken
In athletics throughout Europe, Secretary
Sullivan said that American training'
methods were being rapidly adopted, and
that he had the promise of tho attendance .
of at least 100 foreign athletes at the j
Panama games in San Francisco next 1
year. 1
During the last two months Secretary 1
Sullivan and twelve American delegates
have taken part In the Paris conference
and meeting of the International federa
tion at Lyons, France, at 'which the rules
governing all future Olympic meets were
discussed and altered In many Important
points, and In nearly every Instance In
accordance with the suggestions of the j
American delegation.
"Practically alt the American rules
wero adopted, and after the first of next
January uniform rules wlU be In opera
tion all over tbe world," said Mr. Sulli
van. "The Implement used In athletics.
such as the discus, hammer, Javelin and
weights, will be the same aa In use In
America today. The cross bars and pins
In Jumping and other contests wlU be
alike, penalties will 4e Inflicted for falsa
starts In Olympic races. In the weight
events competitors must remain within
tho ring from whloh they throw and there
will be no cause for argument on these
matters." j
Boxing and golf were added to the list
of Olympic sports through the efforts of
the American delegates. These, aa well
as swimming, wrestling, cymnaatio and
other branches of sport, will be governed
by separate federations and a special
rhamrlensrtip cup will be awarded In

1,1st. NEW YORK, July I8.-I.lkc every bo
glnner In anything, William Rlgler, tho
umpire, was mado the butt of his asso
ciates' Jokes. But ono that "Tim" Hurst,
formerly an umpire, played on hire has
Just "como to life."
Hurst wns sitting In the league offlco
when Rlgler reported for duty. After the
usual greetings "Tim" took Rlglc- aside
and said, "Have you brought your urn-
plro shoes along with you?"
"Why, no," exclaimed Rlgler. "I thought
I'd buy a pair hero In New York."
"Well. I ll give you a tip." said Hurst
"This drug store," handing him n piece
of paper with tho namo and oddroas writ
ten out, "hnndles tho finest umpire shoes
in the city. Wo all buy ours there. It
may savo you a lot of trouble."
"Thanks," said Rlgler. "I'll run out
now whllo I have time."
Ho had no sooner left than Hurst called
. up tho drug store nnd told the clerk a
I friend of hls-that Rlsler was on his way
and to pass him along to Blank , Blame
after tho usual stall.
Rlgler entered the store a few moments
later and asked for umpire shoes.
"Yes. sir, we havo them In nil sizes,"
grinned tho clerk. "What size, please?"
"Eights."
The clerk returned In five mlnutos. "I'm

Hurst kept ono store ahead of Rlgler
until tho latter flnnlly tumbled. They
say ho wouldn't speak to "Tim" for
weeks.
"Tim" Hurst was umplrlnpr a game at
Washington ono day nnd "Charley"
Sstroet of tho Senators camo to bat.
Street had been going- rather badly and
had been carrying a grouch for nearly a.
month.
"Tim" called the first strike.
"Aw, go on, you big dub." yelped
Street, glnrlntr at Hurst. "That ball waa
over my head. Why don't you clean up
your eyes?"
"You havo a fine kick coming, you re
i crult." answered Hurst, reaching around
' to his hip pocket and bringing forth a
j clipping. Ho shoved It In front of Street's
amazed eyes, nnd growled, "You havo a

STARS LOSING GOOD FORM
American Defenders of Tennis
Championship Title Are Disap
pointing Critics In Racquet
Work Thla Year.
NEW YORK, July 15.-When the Amer
ican International lawn tennis team, com-
I ,.n n.l Xti.,i.lnA T. T 1. 1 1 T V
rls Williams, 2d; Harold H. Hackett and
Wallace F. Johnson, defeated the pick of
tho world's racquet wlelders In the early
rounds of this Davis cup tournament, and
eventually wrested tho famous bowl from
England's strong defending team a year
j ago, followers of tho game the world over
began to wonder how long America would
keep tho classic trophy In tho land of Its
birth. The consensus of opinion at that
time seemed to be that America would
be lucky to hold tho cup over a year,
and evon the most rabid Yankee rootera
felt doubtful of America's chances in the
event of a strong team coming up to
the challenge round.
That this should have been the feeling
last year when things looked pretty rosy
for the Americans makes tho outlook
jeven bluer at tho present time. In the
iirut piace, wnen tne cnailenglng team
captured tho cup McLoughlln played re
markublo tennis and gave promise ot
being much better In eubsequent matches.
Then, too, Williams, who was making;
his first appearance in international com
petition, acquitted himself wonderfully
well, and there wero but few who did
not predict that .the Phlladclphlan would
play a gamo In another year that would
; bo equal If not superior to that played by
McLoughlln.
llnckctt'ii Star Waning,
It wns a foregone conclusion that Hack
ett'a playing star was on the wane and
that hla doubles mutch, In which ho and
McLoughlln defeated tho British cham
pions, Roper Barrett and Dixon, probably
would be his last appeal anco In Interna
tional tennis. There Is no doubt that
Hackett deserves worlds of credit for the
tennis that he played In that memorable
match. He, of course, acted as a. feeder
to McLoughlln, but It Is doubtful If at
that time thero was another man In
America who could have done the same
thing half as well.
But with the exit of Hackett thero were
no immediate fears as to the possibilities
of building up a first class doubles team,
for everyone realized that there oro at
least a dozen players In America who
could be developed Into worthy partners
for SlcLoughlln. That no player who
could be thought of could play tho stylo
of gamo which Hackett played so woll
did not Beem a hindrance at tho time, for
It was realized that any ot tho possibil
ities would make up by Individual
strength and ability what he might lack
In playing for teamwork.
Would Slake. Good Timber.
So with tho certainty of McLough
lln and Williams Improving a great deal,
and with a dozen other young players and
veterans showing form that would mark
them aa Davla cup timber, things did not
look so bad, but many close students of
the gamo had a feeling within them that
something would bo awry. Then, too, at
that time there was no definite knowledgo

PARIS, July 18. A potato forty yeara
old, In a perfect state of preservation,
was discovered recently under the hearth
stone of the former mayor of Baztlles.
the village celebrated for the battle which
was fought thero during the Franco
Prussian war. It was found by work
men carrying out repairs, embedded In
a block of plaster. The house was re
built In 1873, after the village was burned
by the Prussian troops, and it is up
posed that the potato was then put Into
Its strange hiding place.
