 Sir Thomas Lpton, to govern the races that are to be sailed in Septem-
 Der of next year between an American Shamrock w No statement is made
 as to the probable dimensions of the
 defending craft, and G. A. Cormack,
 secretary of the New York Yacht club,
 said the measurement of the two ves-
 sels are not likely to be announced un-
 til next summer. Much earlier indica-
 tions as to whether the defending
 club intends to meet the challenger
 with 75-footer-the size he has stipu- lated his own craft shall be-are ex- pected, however.
 The rules as announced do not diff
 fer materially from those under which
 the last races for The Americas cup
 were sailed. With favorable weather and other conditions the yachts will cross the starting line for the first race at Il o'clock a. m. on Thursday, Sep tember 10, 1914. The course will be 30 nautical miles to windward, if possi- bIe, from the Ambrose channel light ship and return.
 Should the Shamrock W. the chal- 1enger, be detained by weather or oth- 1 CT cause from reaching here in time, she will be given time for fitting out after her arrival, but the first race must under the rules be started not later than September IT, and the suc- ceeding races are to be sailed Thurs days, Saturdays and Tuesdays until
 completed. The second race will be over an equatorial triangle and the third similar to the first. If fourth and fifth races are necessary to deter
 min the winner they are to be sailed, respectively as were the second and first races.
 The challenger shall be informed at least one week before the first race what vessel is to defend the cup. The l system of measurement, time allow ance and racing rules of the New York Yacht club, as they exist, shall gov ern the races, unless inconsistent with l the provisions of the agreement be-
 tween the clubs it Is provided.

SPRlNTER DREW ENROLLS AT BROWN
Champion Runner To Represent Providence Institution On
 Cinder Path

Howard S. Drew, the Springfield High School lad, who is the fastest amateur short-distance runner in the world. has signified his intention of entering Brown University, and Is said 10 have passed all subjects with that end in view. The coIored lad is the present American champion at 100 yards and 22O yards, which titles he won in Chicago, July 5, in the handi- est fashion imaginable, despite the opposition of such good runners as Keller of Cornell, A1vah T. Meyer, Jim Rosenberger, and others of sini- lar ability
 The Springfield boy has been sought by many colleges and universities in the East. It was at one time thought that he would land at Dartm outh, where he would have been a strong accession to Harry Hilman's squad. The Providence institution, however, finally corraned him, and he promises to be thorn in the side of the Penn sylvania sprinte-s, who, by Virtue of their showing in the last intercol- 1egiate championships, appeared to have the short-distance races sewed up as far as winning honors was con- cerned. Drew will be eligible to com pete in his first year at Brown, and should have little difficulty in annex ing the titles at both century and fur long distances.

NAVY UNWILLING
 TO GIVE UP GAME
Trying To Get Army To Recon sider Plan Regarding Foot
 ball Contest

Annapolis. Md, Aug. 29-The report that representatives of the Military Academy were seeking a game with the Carlisle Indians for November 29, the date on which the navy expected to play the annual football game against the team from the other ser vice school, was a bolt from the blue here.
 Those connected with the naidship- mems athletics could not credit it until unofficial confirmation was received. Even now there has been no direct commun fcation with the Army repre- sentatives and all the Navy contingent hopes that something can be done to save the game.
 Though adhering to the view that Philadelphia is the natural location of the contest, the sentiment was gen. eral that any reasonable concession would be made by the Navy to con tinue the contests.

AL M'COY ANXIOUS
 TO BOX TOP NOTCHERS
CRx q. S. Andrews.l

Jack Dougherty of Brooklyn, N. Y, thinks well enough of his young mid dIeweight, Al Mccoy, to send me a forfeit of $250 to go as a side bet and to bind a match with either Eddie Me Goorty, Jack Dillon or Gus Christie, and above all, Mike Gibbons. Jack is evidently in earnest for he has sent real moneN to make good his claim for his boy. In his letter Jack says: This money is not intended as a bluff but to show that mean business. I want to match Mccoy against any middleweight in the country, at 15S 8 ringsfde, and prefer McGoorty to all others. Mccoy beat Christie good and plenty and the latter did not have a chance, although he claims he defeat ed Mccoy when they met. also have a good sized bet to make that my bantam weight, Charlie Goldman, can beat Johnny Cou1on or any bantam weight in the states, and Kid Williams can get a bit of our money if he wants to make a match. This goes for the Baltimore boy any old way he wants it.''

Detroit, Aug. 29.-Manager Hughie Jennings will write the worlds series for an eastern newspaper next fall despite the mandate of Ban Johnson and the national commission that star ball players must cut out that sort of work He received the offer by wire a day or two ago, and has ben in yestigating his prospects for getting away with it.
 He learned definitely that the na- honal commission probably could keep him out of the press stands, but he thinks he can find a place some where in the stand that will szive him a sufficient view for his purpose, and stated to-day that he would accept the pner and see what the national com h71ssion would do about it.

Tuckey Does Well In Opener But Snyder Slammed In

The Crossmen stopped off in New London yesterday long enough to drop two games to the Planters. The first was close, the score being 2 to l, but the second was a slaughter to the music of 10 to o. Dick Tuckey oppos- ed Bill Powers in the opener. Tuckey held the Planters to five hits but they punched raps in the first and fourth
 Powers, who has always been a thorn in Bridgeport's side, lived up to his reputation yesterday. He held the Crossmen to three safeties. Eddie McGamweI got a double and single and Jake Boultes a one bagger. Bridgeport played c1everly enough in the field but it was simply a. case of being weak with the bat. The score:

BOSTON GETS STARS IN
 SCHMIDT AND QUINN

Boston, Aug. 29.@Charles Schmidt, the giant first fsacker, secured by the Braves from the Rochester team. joined the club here yesterday. Jack Quinn, the pitcher, will report in New York
 Quinn's work is such as to assure the club-that it has a pitcher who will win a majority of his games from now to the close of the season. Schmidt's s work this season makes him look like a very good prospect
 Quinn, once a breaker boy and later ball pitchers in the International lea que. He went to Rochester in Au- gust, 1912, from the New York Amer jeans in exchange for Jack Lelivelt, now with Cleveland. and Tommy Mo- Milan. who drifted back to Koch ester.
 His work was one Of the factors that kept Rochester in second place this season. ! He is strong and can throw the spit-ball 1s innings without injur- ing his arm Recently, on a Sunday he pitched two games against Newark fhe league leaders, allowing but il hits in both contests. Loose work behind him threw both games to Newark Recently he pitched a 12-inning game against Jersey City allowing one scratch hit.
 Charles Schmidt, known as Butch. er," who comes to the Braves witt Quinn, is the leagues best first sack CT this season. Schmidt is big fe1- low and does not appear fast, all o1 which is deceiving. He was with Bal timore last season and was purchased by Rochester in the fall. He has new CT had experience in the big league
 Joe Yeager, with Montreal, who Ina. seen years of baseball in the big and minor leagues, says that Schmid has the makings of one of the bes first basemen in the country. To-da, he says. he's as good as Gandil wa when with Montreal. He make hard plays look essy," says Yeager Sehmidt's batting average to date fl .3se. the highest of any man on tn. Rochester team. He is the most will ing worker that ever wore a Roches ter uniform

Bryan and Ex-Mayor Edward r. Buckingham. Beside the champion ship cup there will be a cup for the runner-up in the championship sin g1es, and cups for the winners in championship doubles.
 This event has always been one of great interest to the tennis players of Bridgeport, and has also drawn a large gallery of spectators. We hope that all those interested in tennis will cooperate with the committee to make the tournament this year larger and more successful than ever before. The club courts are in excellent condi ton, and all that is needed is a large entry of Bridgeport's tennis aspfrants to insure an interesting and success full tournament.

Speed enthusiasts expect the record of the course, 68 miles an hour, at least, will be eQual1ed. The course measures eight miles and POP feet and the drivers were to cover it 36 times.
 Wishart attained 8 speed of 72 miles an hour in practice but the consistent showing by Dawson in the trial spins and his advantage in the start, made him favorite with the crowd,
 MiIitiarnen with fixed bayonets, who guarded the course for it's entire length, kept the eager ones inside the paIings.

 George Cameron is out with his weekly protest This time the New Haven owner is aggrieved at a de- cision by Umpire Berry in Wednes- days game at Savin sRock. Cameron claims that in the seventh inning with the score to 1 in Water rbury's favor, Foster attempted to steal third with two strikes and two balls on Moose Miller. Gregg pitched out and the New Haven magnate says Catcher Ahearn of Waterbury kidded Barry into calling it three strikes after he had first called ball. Cameron has a fine chance on that protest.
 Umpire Abe Lincoln leaves the league flat on Saturday night in order that he may go back to his duties as a school teacher. President O'Rourke is looking for a man to take Lincoln s place. Eddie Kearns of the Shore Line league is a, possibility.
 Owner C1arkfn is evidently certain Hartford will win the flag for he has already asked President O'Rourke tc make arrangements for a post season series with the New England league winner. He wants to have the games played under the supervision of the National association and Secretary Farrell of that body will name the men to take charge. The Eastern season closes a week earlier than the New England and it will be hard for the Senators to go into the contests in toF notch form.
