value of S2,5O0. for an ocean race from
Sandy Hook to The Needles. Isle Of

The race will be open TO schooners,
sloops and yawls, and there viii be 70

Sir Thomas suggests that May you'd
be the best month for the race, as the
yachts would be in England in time TO
take part in the contest from Dover TO
Heligoland for the German Emperor's
cup. If they elect to do so.
In all probability the offer of Sir
Thomas cup will be read with much in
terest by yachtsmen owning vessels suit
able for such a race. During The sea-

last, that of 524 miles. from Scotland
lightship to Nantucket Shoal Lightship,
thence to Northeast End Lightshio. off
Cape May. and back to the starting
point. six started and five finished.
Of schooners there should be a fair
entry. and of sloops the representation
will likely be creditable to the country.
Weeks ago even there was a rumor IN
yachting circles that the HerreshOff sew

season to try their luck in forctgB

famous in the history of ocean contests.

NORRIS PETERS TEAM
WINS SILVER TROPHY
The Bureau Boys Are Banked by
Beckett.

One of the largest crowds that ever
witnessed an amateur baseball contest
turned out yesterday and saw the strong
Norris Peters team defeat the fast Blu
reau nine by a score of SO. and Incl
dentally win the handsome and costly
silver baseball trophy cup put up by the
local retail butchers at the barbecue
given on the BeEning race track. Until
the boys went up into Santos Dumont's
territory in the seventh session and al
lowed the photographers to scar the rub
Der six times, the game was most inter
esting
Neither Of the teams was ever an
strong as it was yesterday. and be-
cause of the fact that the cup had been
on exhibition for several weeks and ad-
mired by everyone. and a lot OF coin
was laid down by the followers of botn
teams. the men played better than ever
when they played good and fiercer than
ever when they were off color.
w. Beckett pitched an excellent game
for the winners. He did not strike out
as many men as Vic Waller, his oppo-
nent, but he allowed but two safe hits
during the matinee. His support was
better and more reliable than that fur
nished Waller by his messmates. Beck
also fielded his position splendidly. and
the Norris Peters infield was veritabls
stone wall. Dude Gates was the only
man on the winning team to make an
error. while the Bureau boys had q
total of seven miscues. most OF which
were accumulated in the unlucky seventh
round.
