Upton MAY TRY AGAIN.
Sir Thomas Receives Americas Gift
and Speaks of Another Challenge.

Sir Thomas Upton. announced his readi-
ness to challenge for the Americas cup
again when the silver service subscribed for
by the people of the United States was pre-
sented to him at dinner held at the Hyde
Park Hotel, London, Thursday night The
dinner was attended by several members of
the house of commons. the members Of
the London presentation committee includ-
Ing John r. Carter, second secretary of the
United States embassy; Capt. Charles H.
Stockton, United States naval attache, and
Major John r. Beacon, United States mill
tary attache, and by nearly a hundred
Americans resident in London, as well as
several who are now visiting there. The
service was brought from America by Lind
say Russell, representing the American
committee who arranged for the testi-
monial
Consul General Evans presided, and in
presenting the service said that 1t was un-
precedented for such an honor to be paid
to foreigner by the people of the United
States, but that Sir Thomas Upton had
won the golden opinions of those from
whom he tried to wrest the Americas cup.
Sir Thomas in reply said he was proud
man to be the recipient Of such a splendid
gift, adding. "It will be cherished by me
as my most valued treasure" Referring In
a humorous vein to the value of the gift in
raising the wind" Sir Thomas said that
he never really had any difficulty in doing
SO except at Sandy Hook. He had hoped,
he said, to add an interesting item to the
fiscal controversy by increasing British sill
yer imports with that interesting item. the
Americas cup, but that as he had failed in
this he found the silver service a splendid
substitute.
Speaking with much feeling, Sir Thomas
said that If any action Of his had tended to
the development of a better feeling be-
tween Great Britain and the United States
1t would be a source Of sincere happiness
to him to the end of his days, though what
he had done was merely a slight return for
the generosity and courtesy showered upon
him by the American people. Continuing.
Sir Thomas said:
'The love which always exists between a
true mother and a true daughter, however
wealthy and aristocratic that daughter may
become. including duchesses and other
Americans, should keep the two countries
together Americas progress toward the
southern pole was only hindered by the
newly founded republic Of Panama. and we
must work together for the peace of the
world. Blessed are the neacemakers. for
they shall inherit the EARTH"
Sir Thomas said that he had sent a let
ter to the New York Yacht Club dealing
with another possible challenge for the cup.
He added that he was quite willing to make
one last attempt, provided he had rea-
sonable chance of success, especially as the
next Shamrock would be a lucky four
leafed one.

President Johnson's Salary Raised to

Bowling Battles Last Night.

Although mono Of the prospective pur-
chasers of the Washington club attended
the meeting Of the American Leage in Chi
cago, which closed last night, there is not
the slightest doubt but that matters are
progressing nicely, and that shortly after
the new year the deal will be completed
President johnson fully expected to make
known to his fellow magnates in Chicago
the names Of the new owners of the Wash
ington club, but there are several small de-
tails that will have to be fixed up before
everything is in shape to take the public
into confidence.
Last night a reporter of The Star acci-
dentally ran against two Of the prospective
purchasers Of the Washington club and was
given the startling and pleasing information
that James II. Manning would be in this
city the first Of the year. Said one of these
gentlemen:
Mr.. Manning is coming to Washington
cstensibly on business connected with the
explosive he has been handling in the west,

These gentlemen have been ready to pur-
chase the club for some time but they are
fully posted on base ball, and know the
value OF hrst-class manager. I have been
trying 20 get MIR. Manning's consent to
iiahase the senators. but James Henry has
been doing so well Of late that he dislikes
returning to base ball. However, I kept
hammering at him. and he has finally con-
sented to come on for consultation. The
matter has almost narrowed down to
point where if Mr.. Manning will act as
manager the local capitalists Will buy, and
II he refuses the offer all negotiations may

cerned In the new deal cannot be classed as

can League also says that President john

Quaker City Boxer Hit Diamond Dick''
$50. When He Pleased.

Jack O'Brien of Philadelphia boxed rings
around Diamond Dick" at the Kingston
Athletic Club, Chicago, last night, and was
given the decision at the end of the sixth
round O'Brien outclassed the Chicago
heavyweight from the stock yards and at
no stage of the bout had the latter a
chance. Diamond Dick made futile ef-
forts number of times to connect with
O. OBrien's face, only to find the other dane
ing out of harms way
In the first round O'Brien smothered Dick
with jabs to the stomach and face, Dick
was unable to keep Jacks left out of his
face or the right from his stomach o. Brien
feinted the heavyweight into knots and the
round ended with Dick ON the defensive
The second round was a repetition of the
first. only that OBrien made Dick look still
more foolish. Dick was more willing in the
third round. but failed to connect the same
as he had in the first two rounds. He tried
number of "haymakers." but none did
any harm. OBrien landed three times in
succession without getting any return.
OBrien continued his jabbing tactics in
the fourth, but in the fifth there were sew
eral mix-ups, in which Dick was punished
in every gateway. The stockyarders' fighter
was game and took some terrific jolts es-
pecfally in the face.
