NEW YACHT CHOSEN
Reliance Is Officially Selected to De-
fend Americas Cup Against
Shamrock III.
Speculation in Regard to the Out
come of Races-Reliance Has
Best Chance. s

The fact that the trial races between
Reliance, Columbia and Constitution nave
been abandoned, and the former yaehr
officially selected as the defender Of the
Americas cup, is no surprise to those who
have followed the contests between the
three boats. Reliance has crossed the line
first in every race to date, and only few
times has she been beaten by Constitution
on time allowance. August Belmont, the
managing owner Of Constitution, and MOT
gan of the Columbia, agreed to the Verolct
OF the challenge committee OF the New
York Yacht Club, acknowledging that Re-
lance was the fastest OF the trio IN
Yesterdays race off Newport Reliance beat
out both Constitution and Columbia by
about five minutes. Columbia got Ia
vorable slant Of wind on the last leg, ana
crossed the line only a few seconds behlnd
Constitution. The new yacht mas won
over both the older boats by decisive mar
gins so many times that 1t was the gen
eral opinion some time ago that Official
trial races would be a mere Formally.
Now that Reliance has been offlclaliy
selected as the defender, speculation III
regard to the outcome OF the 1nterha'
tional races will be revived. Inc stoch
of Shamrock III. has gone up CONSIDERABLY

Reliance has beaten Columbia IN most {,
the trials quite as decisively as Shamroci

spective showings of the new yacht
against the contenders Of 1899 furnish IN
only real basis for a comparison.
In the 1899 races, Columbia beat sham

BASEBALL,
SHOULD BREAK EVEN
Millers Have Chance to Redeem
Themselves in Series With
Eastern Teams.
Pitching Staff Is int Better Shape
Than During the Series
at Home.

No games were played in the American
association yesterday, all the teams pc
ing on the road. The nillers were sched-
uled to open a series of three games at
Toledo to-day.
The record of the millers at home
against the western teams was disastrous.
Nine games were played with the saints
here and in st. Paul, and Kelly's men
won six of the nine The Yeagerites also
lost two out of three to Milwaukee, ana
three straight to Kansas City, or IN
other words, they won only four out OF
fifteen games with the western teams.
Against the fasteners the local aggre-
cation did much better, taking the ODD
from Louisville and Columbus, breaking
even with Toledo on four games, and
losing the odd to Indianapolis. That IS
to say, they took seven out OF thirteen
games. In the whole series at home, the
millers won eleven and lost seventeen, IN
Guiding the three games played at st.
Paul. In the games played at home they
won eleven and lost fourteen.
This record is by no means what was
expected of the team, but many OF the
defeats can be ascribed to the crippled
condition of the pitching staff. Had
Williams and Mcdonald been with the
team during the entire home series, the
milers would in all probability have
broken even. The absence of Yeagel
also has handicapped the team, LUDWIG
proving poor substitute for the German
as a backstop. J.
Yeager will be back in the game within
a few days, and with his aid, and witt
the pitching staff in fair condition, thu
millers should break even on the shor
! trip. It should not be hard for the ne1
to take the odd from Toledo and Column
bus, and if they can get one from In
dianapolis, and break even on the fou
games with Louisville, they will return
home with a record of seven wins out
thirteen games.

the railroad boys raised enough
money to buy a steer, which they
also shipped to the Bancroft cattle
ranch at an expense of 800 to Ban
croft for feed enroute, and the latter
IS now patiently awaiting results.
The railroad msgnate is beginning to
suspect that George II. Robinson, of
Salt Lake and Butte, is the man who
presented him with the bull or sug-
gested that steer be added to the
herd or that he wired the ranchers
all along the line while the bull was
being shipped to give the animal a
load Of hay at each station and send
the bill to Bancroft. Some day Ban
croft will become better acquainted
with the propensities of George Rob
inson as a practical joker and then
Robinson will pay his fare on the
Oregon Short Line, or walk.
