The most famous of all yachting
events the world over the internation-
al races for the we'll known cup wrest-
ed from England more than a half n
century ago, are now going off on
Sandy Hook, and as a rule the average
American hopes the defender Will Win
There are many, who for the sake Of
the continuance of the game in years
TO come, wish that Upton might carry
away with him the much coveted tro-
ply. Some money is being staked on
the outcome. both on the entire series
of races or the single events. The
odds however range according to the
locality from 5 to , TO 1. Some money
has been placed by the more enthusiasts
tic hackers of the Reliance at even
money that the English boat will not
take a single heat. While wager of
that nature is certainly a risky one
most of the races won heretofore by
American boats have been in one, two,
three order. That the defender had
the best of the argument in Thursdays
fifteen mile and return race there Is
no doubt 1t was in q llgh. breeze and
while it gives possible line on what
may be expected under similar circum-
stances, it does not tell what the out
come will be in q good sailing breeze.
To the fellow who lives on the prairie,
and doesn't know a topsail from Il
boom, these contests hold just as much
interest MS to the yachting man of Long
Island Sound.
A central Iowa league is one of the
most important subjects being discuss
ed among the base ball lovers of the
central Iowa towns. Several of these
cities have successfully maintained
paid teams during this season Other
efforts of similar nature have only
been partially so. Webster City, Wat
erloo and Fort Dodge have all kept
good teams going. Other towns that
might be brought in are Marshalltown,
Mason City, Cedar Rapids and Olwein.
1t is hoped the subject will be agitatei
so thoroughly during the winter that
when spring opens up central Iowa
may see the formation of a league,
such as certain sections of other stat
es keep together
1t is q matter of common talk in

claimed to be buying for others who
desired the horse FOR side drive and

that he has never been heard from

with any of the arretuer racing which
has been going on in Chicago this
