SIR THOMAS ON
YACHT RACING
Upton Tells of His Efforts
to Win the Americas
Cup
SOUGHT TO HONOR IRELAND

Before the sailing OF the yacht races
Sir ThohIA Upton wrote for the Cos
mopolitan for September an article on
My Efforts to Win the Americas
Cup The following extracts from the
article are reprinted by permission:
copyright. 1908, by Cosmopolitan Maya
zine Company
Just when / first desired TO win the
Americas cup / cannot positively say.
Very likely the germ OF that ambition
entered my mind as fur back as the
time when the Genesta was battling
for the trophy, but my FIRST overt act.
II may use the term, was just sixteen
years ago. and Il came about and took
form in this way:
The Thistle had been IN America,
fighting valiantly, but unnecessarily,
for the cup. / remember sitting at my
home and pondering.
England has tried and failed; Scot.
land has tried and failed. Why not
give Ireland a chanceY
The idea pleased me. That same
night / sat down and wrote a long let.
ter TO my friend, Mr.. Lane, then mem
her OF parliament FOR Cork. and / ask
ed him to submit q proposition TO the
Royal Cork Yacht club-the Oldest
yachting organization in the world, by
the way-to the effect that an Irish
yacht be built from the designs Of an
Irishman and that she be manned by
an Irish crew and commanded by an
Irish skipper.
Il wish the challenger TO be all
Irish," l wrote in effect, 'and II the
Royal Cork Yacht club can give me
such craft l will pay all the ex.
penses."
In due course OF time Mr. Lane re-
piled. The Royal Cork Yacht club was
very anxious 70 join me in the enter
prise; but, alas, 1t was impossl5lel An
all Irish challenger was out OF the
question for the reason that there was
neither Irish yacht designer nor skip
per for that class OF boat at that time
1t caused the officers and members OF
the Cork club much chagrin to admit
this fnct, but nevertheless Il was d
fact, and so the matter ended.
But the ambition TO win the bit Of
silver that had remained so long II
America was not dead within me. no
was the desire TO have much Of th'
credit for bringing IL across the Allan
tic rebound to the glory Of Ireland.
was resolved that sooner or later
would have a try for II and that Ire
land would figure very largely in m!
attempts to succeed where so NAM
gallant sportsmen had failed. My timi
did not come for many years, but final
ly my opportunity arrived, and, true I,
my first ambition, made my chal
lenger as much Irish as / could.
She was chrlstened Shamrock, anC
her consort was Erin. Shamrock sh,
was named because that is the nation
al flower of my native land and be
cause have always considered it al
emblem OF good luck Hundreds Of
letters have come TO me In the past few
years fairly begging me 10 give th,
challenger another name, arguing that
as that name had gone down in defea
on two occasions, there must be some
thing unlucky about II, but I have In
variably replied that II was not thl
name that was beaten, but the boat.
"Some day, If live" / wrote on
gentleman, "a Shamrock viii prove th'
better boat, and then you will be on
Of the arst to say that the name was
lucky one"

And what If ! should win the cupg
II / should. I think / know what
would do. American yachtsmen would
have to build different kind of boat
from either Shamrock or Reliance to
bring It back again. Cup challengers
and defenders are dangerous. One
stands UPON their decks as one sails,
and at any minute a spar may fall or a
sail may fall or a piece of metal may
fall Yes. racing yachts are dangerous
and useless.
When was a little boy. living on the
banks Of the Clyde, loved every ripple
and current Of the stream, and loved
every craft that fioated on her bosom.
/ loved the fisher boats and the sturdy,
honest ships that put out to sea and
weathered the gales Of winter and the
squalls OF summer. loved the strength
and honesty OF them all, and when,

The beautiful play, Human Hearts,
which comes TO Grand opera House on

leave a favorable impression wherever IL
is presented. It's naturalness disarms
criticism, the spectator yielding himself
to ITS power to make him laugh or cry,
as the case may be. The elements Of COM

and the lights and shades Of the story
are finely proportioned with a view t.

wish TO go on record as saying one
thing and that is that the American
people, American sportsmen, are the
kindest people on earth.
My antagonists are fair fighters, and
the people whom l meet everywhere
are so cordial and hospltable that this
has often embarrassed me and my as
sociates
frequently have been asked II bet
on my own boat. Unreservedly l say
never wagered a farthing. l do not be
ieve in betting. ! have never bet on
horse race or on any sport. have
gone into ships pools while crossing
but more for the reason Of not seeming
to hold myself aloof from others than
for any other purpose. But when it
comes TO wagering sums OF money on
such q sport as yachting l would Ike
to say that heartily disapprove Of H.,
and / would be much displeased IL any
one Of my guests or any member of my
ships company were TO do such a
thing / know from what l have
learned that enormous sums OF money
have been wagered in Britain on the
success Of the two previous Shamrocks.
but personally have done everything
possible TO discourage this form OF
gapbling. To my mind It cheapens
the sport, no matter what may be the
moral side OF the question.

Lieutenant l.. C. Richardson of the Unit cd States navy, who is taking recruits for that branch of the service. will close the station Saturday. Since last Monday about sixteen recruits have been secured out of thirty-six applicants who have un- dergone the medical examination. Alto gether nearly a hundred men and boys have applied, but out of that number only thirty-six were permitted to reach the medical officer.
 Lieutenant Richardson said yesterday that 1t was. astonishing how crude the ideas of some people were in regard to len- tering the navy.
 Some" he said, seem to think that all that is necessary is to apply and be received with open arms. l received let ter from a boy in Pratt City yesterday who said he was very much in love with the navy and would like to join the ser- vice, but that he was afraid of the sea and if he could be stationed somewhere on land he would willingly join. I told him that Uncle Sam wanted boys who were afraid of nothing, but suppose he wanted position in a navy yard and so l gave him all information as to how to secure such an appointment.

BOXING CONTEST
 TO BE A FEATURE
GREAT INTEREST BEING TAKEN IN THE MILL BETWEEN JOE 3D. DIE AND CARY THOMPSON AT THE SOCIETY CIRCUS.

Great interest is being taken in the boxing contest between Cary Thompson and Joe Riddle. which is to take place at the Society Circus next Monday night. and the local boxing enthusiasts will have an opportunity of seeing a good lively scrap--so the friends of both men say.
 Both of them are in hard training. Dan McDonough is looking after Thompson, and Jack Riddle is coaching Joe and put ting him on to the points of the game. Jack Riddle and McDonough are both ex- perienced fighters. and the principals could not be under better trainers.
 Thompson is the older and more ex- perienced fighter of the two and has a number of victories to his credit. He is about eight or ten pounds lighter than his opponent, but his experience ought to make up this difference. it is said.
 Although Riddle has been boxing only a year or two, he is recognized as one of the quickest men on his feet in the Birmingham district Ills is well known in cycling. basketball and other branches of amateur sport. has a splendid endur- ance. and according to the figures of the striking machine, hits a thousand pound blow.
 The fight will be the first of series for the championship of the Athletic club Other contests will be arranged later on in the season, and gold medals awarded to the victors. As the fight next Monday night is in the championship series. there will of course be no contest between the two men at the matinee performance of the Society Circus.

T got another letter" said the lieuten- ant, from young man who sad he would join the navy if he did not have to carry water to wash the ship decks. The boy said his mother washed the floor of her house three times week and took all day to do it and made him carry the wa ter, and the boy said he didn't want to carry water to wash a ships deck, as he knew what it was to wash the floors at home.
 Yes" continued the officer. I've have lots of boys who run away from home and endeavor to join the navy. The other day boy came running Into the office and wanted to enlist right away, but be- fore we had time to get his name or ask any questions his irate parent came rush ing in. collared the youngster and march, ed him back home.
 'We are getting some good material in Birmingham. Nearly 50 per cent of those who have been examined by the surgeon have been found eligible and will leave with us the first of the week.
