ANOTHER ENGLISHMAN
WANTS AMERICAN CUP
Duke of Sutherland Proposes to Enter
Small Yacht in Big Race if
Challenge Is Ac-
cepted

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-New York
yachtsmen are much interested in the
report from England that the duke of
Sutherland will make an attempt to
challenge for the America cup with a
yacht Of moderate size. The accept
ance of such a challenge by the New
York Yacht club is doubtful, but
yachtsmen say it would mean the live
lest season in the history of the sport
here. At least five new yachts, and
possibly ten or more, would be built
to meet him. Henry Maxwell, vice
commodore of one of the smaller local
yacht clubs. says in a statement given
out here today:
''If the duke should come-and
hope he Wilt would be one of the
most desirable things that could hap
pen for the sport in this country. 1
think we can beat him easily. The
Englishmen have so far been unsuc-
cessful with large boats, and they
will stand even less chance with a
small boat.
"There is nothing in the deed of
grant to warrant a refusal of a chal-
lenge from q seventy footer. The linz
it's fixed are sixty to ninety feet water
line. OF course, the club would have
the option Of matching ninety-footer
against a seventy-footer, but that
would not be very good policy, for the
records Of the past few years show
that when time allowances are consid-
cred the results have been largely in
favor Of the smaller boat

CADET CORPS BOYS
SCORE 655 POINTS
Make Excellent Showing in Teie-
graphic Match Shoot with
Birmingham Club and
Expect to Win

The Triangle cadet corps of the Y.
M. c. A., having recently Joined the
National Rifle association, held on Fri
day, January 81, the first of a series
of twelve official indoor rifle shoots.
The cadets were represented by the fol-
lowing men: Johnson, Phillips, Wig
gins, Meredith and Brown. The match
was between the Triangle cadet corps
Of the local Y. NJ. c. A. and the Rifle
and Revolver club of Birmingham, Ala.
The Cadets used the Harvard military
school range, while the Birmingham
club used q similar range at Birming-
ham, Ala.
Immediately after the shoot the re-
suits were telegraphed from the two
cities to Washington, d. c., where all
records of this character are kept. The
total score for the Cadets at this meet
was 655 points. Brown took the indi-
vidual honors at this end, his total
score being 155 points. His excellent
work is due to the constant use of the
sub-target. owned by the Triangle ca
diets. The sub-target in their posses
sion is the only one in Southern Cali
fornia.
The object of these meets is to Sc
cure representatives from each of the
twelve clubs comprising the National
Rife association, for the meet to be
held between England, Australia and
the United States. AS the Triangle
cadet corps is to be permanent mem
Der of the National Rifle association,
they are building an indoor range in
the basement of the Y. M. C. A. When
finished this range will be one of the
most complete in Southern California.
The Cadets also own range at Glen
dale, which is used for outdoor meets.
There will be a meet every Friday
night between the Triangle Cadet corps
and some other club belonging to the
National Rifle association.

While this scrap may not be re-
garded as quite as attractive as the
lightweight argument, it will furnish
as much fighting excitement and in
terest as the other because it will In
volve the bantamweight title and belt
and McCarey seems to have had
corner for several years on the cham
pionship market, having made more
champions than any other two promo
ters in the business. The bantam
championship chair has been vacant
for so long, ever since frankie Neil
and Joe Bowker got out of the way,
that the fans are more than anxious
to see it filled again with a worthy
holder of the crown. With Los An
geles boy fighting for it and the en-
couragement that comes from a VIC
tory and two draws over the one
scrapper who has a right to dispute
the honor with him, local interest will
be greater than would attach to the
Nelson Wolgast fight.
Webster Is Champion
webster poses today, with every
reasonable right to do so, as the BAN
tam champion. The history of the
championship, after Bowker aban-
doned it, dates back to the Jimmy
Walsh-Digger Stanley fight, in which
Walsh won and claimed the title. He
defended his claims successfully until
Johnny Reagan defeated him a year
ago in Frisco Attell then defeated
Reagan and Webster took Monte's
measure and the title. Since there has
been much question as to the right of
Walsh to claim the title, McCarey and
Webster believe the only way to re-
vive the championship is to fight for
it and as he and Attell have the best
right to dispute the honor, forty
five round battle, practically a finish
fight, should settle the dispute for
ever and give to the world once more
an undisputed champion. The Win
ner will be so recognized, owing to
the fact that Attell and Webster have
whipped practically all the bantam
scrappers in the world that Walsh
overlooked, and the Boston boy has
whipped nearly all Of those who, by
any stretch of imagination, might be
considered disputants.
Langford Begins Training
Sam Langford, unlike most fighters,
does not court popularity or idolatry
of the fans and prefers to train in
private and away from the excite
ment that crowds occasion. He passed
up Arcadia and the Maud Junction pa
vilion for this reason and established
his training quarters at the gymnasium
of the Occidental Baseball club on
stephenson avenue. He began work
yesterday afternoon at that place,
with Birdlegs Davis and Bob Arm
strong as his training partners. Bill
Pettus, another big black scrapper,
boxed three rounds with him and
Armstrong tried Sam out for brace
of sessions. Little boxing effort was
made, however, as it is a bit early
for Sam to get down to hard work.
When asked as to his weight he said:
''Well, I guess l weighs 105 pounds
and a few fragments" He is a bit

so that he would be a genuine light
weight the day he faces Nelson. Mead
says Ad is doing long distance stunts
every day, walking over mountain
roads and hunting, and is looking fine.
They will leave the springs for Frisco
about the middle of next week.
REPORTS that could not be confirmed
last night were received to the effect
the San Pedro Athletic club would re-
sumo business February with tif-
teen-round main event. between Kid
Cleveland and Billy Cappelle, with
preliminaries thrown IN. lt was
reported several days ago that Luke
Kelly and his associates in the old club
would again start the club, and this
probably accounts for the above story.
George Hancock, secretary and
matchmaker for the Pacific Athletic
club is conducting a tryout school at
the pavilion every few days for the
purpose OF developing raw materla!
into star attractions. He put on sew
eral boys yesterday afternoon and
found some good ones, Frank Roman,
brother of Paul Roman, among them.
Eddie Reynolds was sent against the
youngster and he showed up in fine
form, and both will be seen in action at
an early day.
Fred Rickert has returned from a
business trip to Tucson. He is one OF
the promoters Of the Arizona Grey
hound Racing association and predicts
that in a few years coursing races viii
take the place of horse racing. An
effort may be made later on to estab-
fish a course in or near Los Angeles,
but plans are not yet ready for an
nounCement.
Hen Berry and Col. ]. w. Brooks,
who went to Frisco last Sunday to at
tend the meeting of the Coast league
directors, are due back in the city this
morning, when the fans may expect
some news regarding the 1910 baseball
season.
Phil Mohr seems to be a genuine
hard luck horse. Recently he was
sixteenth of a mile in gront OF the
field when it broke and after he won
the Judges ordered the race run over,
and Old Mexico beat him. Yesterday
he beat Sewell, but in doing so had to
foul the old Splinter and was dlsqual-

a place horse for fair, despite his great
speed.
Handball experts are getting real
busy again. The Los Angeles Athletic
club boys have just closed negotiations
for a match series with the Olympic
club of Frisco, and right on the heels
of this match comes a challenge match
with the local Y. NJ. c. A. boys. The

have passed the period of hard work
and are now practically resting until

six rounds with Chick Duffy and step
ped on the scales, which tottered a bit
at 1876 pounds. Finding himself within
one pound of weight and the drying
out period yet to come, he decided that
further work would be too much and
cut it out Such light work as may
be found necessary to keep him fresh
and keyed up to fighting humor will
be done today and tomorrow, but no
more.

the loyal support that johnson is CIV

pulling off the fight in Salt Lake City.
Woodman says that a few days pre-
vious to opening the bids for the fight
at Hoboken. Richard visited Plttsburg
under the name of George Lewis, his
given name, and conferred with john
son in secret. Afterward he liked
back to New York with the knowl-
edge that he had the fight cinched.
At that Pittsburg conference john
son agreed, according to Woodman, to
stick to the Nevada promoter. Wood
man says he does not know anything
about a sealskin sacque for Jacks
white wife as a gift from Richard, as
q consideration for the friendship of
Johnson for Richard, but another re-
liable sporting man adds this bit of
testimony. Anyway, Richard and
Johnson agreed regarding the fight and
as to all the details of location and
otherwise, according to Woodman. And
