Bristol, R. 1., Dec, A departure { from the original plans of the Amer- ica’s cup defender candidate, under construction, developed when orders were given to add another foot of lead to the keel that was cast on December 12. It is understood that the change means merely the carryving of ballast outside instead of inside, and that the waterline will not be altered. Ahe weight of the keel will be in- creased from 62 to 75 tons. A coffer- dam to permit the pouring of the ex- tra lead is to be built at once. A number of bronze castings that were to have formed the keel plates have already been received from the mills. Th will have to be discarded and new keel plates made while a number of other changes in the speci- fications will be necessar; Stars Defeat Pets, A special match between two pick- | ed teems chosen from the leaders in the Willimantic Duckpin league, was played Tuesday night and resulted in a victory for Cenrad’s Stars over Tufts Pets by two points to one.

But the club matchmakers are sadly lacking in their knowledge of the game, and as a result the sport is almost lost sight of. places where boxing | FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL { Weight Reducing and Norvuuanon Saps Emrgy. Ad Wolgast, at 25, is practically | Barney Oldfield, at 30, have failed to FRANK KLM}S EARLY IN LIFE. tarough as a fighter. Abe Attell and Bat Nelson were put out of the run- ning at 28. All three were champions of their profession and listed among the most ruged of athletes. That tells the biggest part of the gtory of the ring game, the most wear- ing and tearing of all sports. The ring game is the only one in which a man is through in his prores- sion while still in his youth. Pop Geers, at 60, is still one of the greatest trainers and drivers of trot- ting and pacing horses. Cy Young who retired from active service last year was a good pitcher at 45. William Larned was a champion tennis player at 32 Jerome Travers, a national amateum golf champion at 40, and be counted out by Father Time. Constant reducing of weight to make 133 péunds, the lightweight limit, caus- ed the death of Joe Gans. Constant reducing of weight has worn away the life of other fighters. The terrific grind of training, the sacrifice of strength' and nervous en- ergy to malke a certain weight and the strain of battle wear away the silk of “a fighter with more telling effect than any work connected with any form of athletics. Bat Nelson was so tought and rug- ged he fought several hundred battles | before he was beaten by Wolgast in | 1910, the fight being stopped. That sounded the end of Nelson, for in the same yvear he was knocked out for the first time by Owen Moran, and has been of little value in the ring since. ‘Wolgast, in turn, was beaten by Willit Ritchie, and is about to retire at the age of 25. g Attell, 28, reached the end of string and was beaten by Johnny Kil- bane, aged 24. Jimmy Britt's career end when he was 26. His auocrout | by Nelson was follwed by knockouts by Gans, McFarland and Summers In quick succession. Billy Papke, at 22, was knod¥ed out | by Ketchel, and since has been able to go_only with second-raters. Joe Rivers, the Mexican, at 18, was | beaten by Kilbane, and is listed among the second-raters in his profession, al- though still too young to vote. i _ The records of fighters show without | doubt, which of all the sports is the most strenuous. !
