Upton TO CHALLENGE r. u.
FOR AMERICAS Cup
Sir Thomas viii Send Yacht to Race
This country's Best In
1911.

Sir Thomas Upton will challenge
for a race for the Americas cup to be
sailed in 1911. Sir Thomas made this
statement just before sailing for Eu'
rope on the steamer Lusitania.
Sir Thomas has been here for sew
eral weeks to learn the attitude of
the members of the New York Yacht
club on the question Of modification
of the rules governing the Americas
cup. What assurance, If any, he re.
ceived Is not known.
Before sailing, Sir Thomas said:
II will challenge for race in 1911.
I am sure the New York Yacht club
will give the question full considera.
ton. l believe they are just as anx-
ious as anybody else for a race. I
would have challenged for a race next
summer had it been possible to get a
boat ready in time.
"If the New York yachtsmen insist
on a challenge under the present
rules governing international cup
races I would stand no chance to win,
and that would not be sport. I shall
issue my challenge with the largest
type of boat to conform as far as pos
sible with their IDEAS"
Members of the New York Yacht
club said until Sir Thomas challenge
had been formally laid before them

AMERICAN TURF LOSES
! trio OF GREAT RACERS
Death Of Tenny, Direetum and Ham,
burg Belle Blow to Running and
Trottin9 World.

Three great stars of the American
turf, one runner and two harness
horses, died in the last few weeks.
Tenny, one of the greatest thorough
breds that ever feed barrier, died
at the Kentucky farm Of his owner,
D. T. Pulsifer. Directum, 2:05A,
which set a worlds record for four
year-old trotters in 1893 on the Nash
vile track, died at Savage, MINI.
Death was due to blood poisoning. Mr..
Savage purchased Directum in 1898
for $4,000. -
Hamburg Belle, one of the greatest
trotters the world has ever seen, died
of pneumonia at the stock farm Of her
owner, H. M. Hanna Of Cleveland.
Worlds records had been a habit with
the mare while on the track, her great
est performance coming last August,
when she defeated Uhlan at the
North Randall track, near Cleveland.
two heats, in the time Of 2:01A and
2.01N, a record up to that time not
even approached.
Immediately after the race Mr..
Hanna offered John q. Madden, act
ing as agent for his two sons, $4,000
provided she showed no i'll effects of
the grueling race the day after. Al
the mare showed up as sound as q
dollar the next day the money was
paid, and she became the property of
the Cleveland millionaire.
At the beginning Of cold weather
Hamburg Belle was sent down to
Georgia from Cleveland to winter with
the intention of entering her in the
principal Grand circuit races next
year. She caught cold on the way,
and hardly had the farm been reached
before she died.
Horsemen still are talking about the
great racer Tenny, better known to
track patrons as "swayback," the
death of which followed so closely
upon that Of Salvador, his greatest
rival. The total earnings of the son
of Rayon d'Or-Belle of haywood
amounted to $S7,025 in five years on
the turf. His banner season was in
1889 as three-year-old, when he ran
10 races and won ten of them, was
second four times, third twice and
twice unplaced. His earnings that
year amounted to s36.320.

The National league meeting at
New York will not open until Decem-
Der IA. 1t had been expected that the
National leaguers would go into an
nual session at the same time as the
the American league magnates, who
had arranged to open up on the fifth.
The postponement was caused through
the fact that the Boston clubs annual
meeting is set. for December z, and
one or two other clubs asking for q
later date.

Commission. As the situation is now,

has refused to enter the race. In base

Murphy will have q hard task in in

any of his suggestions In future. even
though he may have the moral support

Plan to Revise Race Rules.

ran 70 neV'se naOo n0tos'
During the Saratoga race meeting it
was common gossip, because of GER
tain unpleasant happenings arising out
of selling races, that the, rules of rae
ing would this winter be amended so
as to be of the same character as the
rules existing on the French turf.
Complaints were frequent that high
priced horses were entered in selling
races which were intended only for a
very moderate class Of race horses.
In order to obviate this the method
current in France, which permits
horse owners or others to claim
horses out of selling races before the
races are run, will be proposed and
may be adopted.

Whether military rank should take
precedence in the conduct of affairs in
the Association of Military Surgeons be-
came suddenly topic Of spirited discus
sion at the seventh and last SESSION of the
association held this morning in the New
Willard. The regular program Of the day
was devoted to the work of the United
States public health and marine hospital
service and for time the discussion went
along in the usual manner Of meetings of
scientific bodies. The excitement came
when Surgeon General Rixey read the
appointments on the committee to con-.
slider amendments to the bylaws of the
association. He named the following Of
f1cers: Lieut.. Col. w. D. McCaw, u. s.
A.; Medical Director ]. c.. WISE AS

lie health and marine hospital service,
Maj Romulus A. Foster, D. G. N. G., and

TALON. N. G. D. c.
AS soon as the names of the committee
members were read Medical Director
Wise, who has the rank in the navy equal
to that Of colonel in the army, and
whose name was second on the list, arose
and asked If the craftsmanship of the
committee would go to the officer hold
Ing the highest rank, at the same time
arg tndC as the ASSOCIATION was q
purely military body rank should take
precedence in all its proceedings. Maj.
Lynch of the army, secretary Of the as
ISOLATION, took issue with Medical Director
Wise of the navy: and others Joined in the
debate which became rather spirited.
Declines to Take Sides.
Surgeon General Rixey remained neu-
trail and asked for the opinion Of the as
sociation on the subject. After division
was taken the vote stood six in favor of
Medical Director Wise's contention and
the rest Of the association opposed to it
I'm view of the decision of the asso-
citation, feel obliged to decline TO serve
on the committee said Medical Director
Wise. There is nothing personal in my
decision, but it is against my principles
as an officer to serve under one my Junior
In rank.
II appoint Surgeon C. F. Stokes, U. S.
n, to serve in the place OF Medical Dr.
rector Wise" announced Admiral Rixey.
In the little furry that was caused by
the question of precedence Admiral Rixey
forgot to induct the new president into
Office. and started to adjourn the meet
Ing when Medical Director Wise said:
'One moment Mr.. President; it is usu-
ally the custom to induct the newly
elected president into Office before adj
journing the meeting.
This caused ripple of merriment
among the members, and the little argu-
