Upton MUST
ALTER CHALLENGE
proposition For Yacht Races For
Americas Cup Rejected.
CANNOT LIMIT SIZE OF BOATS

New York, Sept. 26.-Sir Thomas
Llpton's challenge for a contest for
the Americas cup in 1908 was declined
Dy the New York Yacht club. SiI
(thomas asked for a race of sloOps un
DER the 6S-foot rating, and the mem
oers OF the club based their refusal
10 race on the general proposition that
the Americas cup represents a trophy
Tor the speediest type of yacht that
can be produced on a water-line length
OF 30 feet or under, and that, therefore,
any proposition to limit the size OF
the boat must be refused.
The members of the New York
Yacht club at the meeting called tc
consider Sir Thomas fourth challenge
for cup race, voted unanimously to
reject the challenge, after Lewis Cass
Ledyard, former commodore of She
club, made a speech, in which he de
scribed the deed of gift governing cur
contests as drawn up by George L
Schuyler in 1887 Mr.. Ledyard the1
presented a resolution declaring thai
the club could not take the position
of limiting the water line length of the
boats under the deed of gift.
Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt
chairman of the meeting, appointed z
cup committee to convene Immediately
after the meeting and prepare reply
lin,to the challenge. The cup commit
tee was made up of Commodore Van
derbilt, ]. P Morgan, Lewis Cass Led
yard, E. D. Morgan, F. G. Bourne

c. Oliver Iselin.
The sentiment of the members a
the meeting that the Reliance, th
winner of last American contest, wa
still an unbeaten boat, and that tn
blue ribbon of the seas of smaller an
therefore slower boats were out of tn
question. Mr.. Ledyard made the onl,
speech at the general meeting, whicl
was attended by nearly 200 member
of the club.

A GREAT BASEBALL SERIES.
How Boston and Providence BattIed In
the League In 1884.

How Boston and Providence Battled In
the League In 1884.
Probably one of the grandest series
of baseball games pla'N1 by. National
league clubs was that between the
Bostons and the Providence Grays in
1884. The Bostons had won the cham
pionship of 1888, and it was the am
bition of Providence cranks, who lived
only forty miles away from the Hub,
to wrest the laurels away from the
Bean Eaters. Every game that was
played between the clubs was at
tended by immense crowds, and the
excitement was at white heat.
The first game Of the series in 1884
was one of sixteen innings and result
ed in a tie, the score standing l to 1.
The pitchers were Charley Radbourne
and Jim Whitney, and 10000 persons
saw the battle. The next day Provi-
dence won by a score of to l in
nine innings, and Charley Sweeney
struck out nineteen Boston batsmen.
OF the first eight games Boston won
five and Providence three. When it
came time to meet for the four final
struggles the Providence team had
won every series from the other league
clubs and wanted to win the series
from the BOstons too. Radbourne ac-
cOrdingly was assigned to pitch in all
four games on four successive days.
He was in such magnificent, form that
in all of the games the BOstOns were
beaten and scored the sum total of one
run. One of the games lasted eleven
innings. 1t was played in Boston and
was finally won by the Rhode Island
ers by a score Of l to 0. Arthur Ir-
win, who was the shOrtstOp for Provi-
dence, drove a long fly toward the
right field fence, and the ball went
through a hole between the boards. 1t
was a four bagger and decided the
game.
Radbourne's wonderful pitching in
those days will never be forgotten by
those who saw him perform. He went
| into the box game after game and
| pitched for nineteen consecutive con-
| tests. 1t was his remarkable twirling
| that was instrumental in helping Prov
| idence to win the pennant that year.
Sweeney jumped the club in the mid
die of the season, and Rad went
along single handed. One feat that
was the talk of the baseball world in
1883 was his pitching in an exhibition
! game at Trenton. The home club
would not allow Providence to play
with the regulation league ball and in
sisted upon substituting another OF
lighter weight. RadbOurne, however
accepted the latter ban and proceeded
to strike out every man who came tC
the bat until one man had been re
tired in the sixth inning. Then a play.
er fouled the ball, which had not beer
done before. The pitching distance
then was fOrty-five feet from the home
plate

about six months and including many
cities among the scenes of the bogus

mits his crimes, by which he says he
has netted about $4,000 in the past six

FIFE WON'T BUILD
Refuses to Design Yacht Challenger
Under Old Rules.

On0SF OIQ huleSs
London, Sept. 28-Sir Thomas Lip
ton and William Fife, the VI. 1T de
signer, were in conference here. The
net result of the long conference was
that Fife positively refuses, in any
circumstances, to design challenger
under the old rules, but is willing tc
undertake to design a 9O-footer under
the universal rule" if such a prop
Osition shall be acceptable to the New
York Yacht club.
Mr.. WestwOod Sir Thomas Lipton's
secretary, will start for Ireland to con.
suit with the authorities of the Royal
Irish Yacht club and decide on a course
of action.
Sir Thomas Upton is still strongly
desirous of issuing a challenge, but
finds designers of repute here averse
to undertaking the task of designing
what they speak of as a freak.
Sir Thomas is ready to build a go
footer under the new American rule
After the receipt of the cable dispatch
from the Royal Irish Yacht club, il
will be for the New York Yacht club
to say whether there will be a race
for the cup in 1908. Sir Thomas ha:
received hundreds of dispatches, many
of them from America, expressing re
gret at the fact that his challenge has
not been accepted.
