Upton Began in 1898.

Sir John Upton entered the lists as a
challenger for the Americas cup in 1893,
and ever since has been striving to win
it for Great Britain. The Royal Ulster
Yacht Club acted on behalf Of Sir
Thomas. The Shamrock I was sent over
to race against the Columbia. and after
an exciting race the Columbia came In
the winner. All the events connected
with this race were pleasant. and Sir
Thomas returned home with the announc-
ed intention Of returning later.
When the time for the next challenge
race drew near excitement was at n
high pitch. number Of elimination
trials were held to determine which boat
should defend the cup against Sir Thorn
as Lipton's next challenger. the Sham
rock IL. which he Immediately began to
build. The Columbia was selected to
defend the cup, and defeated the Sham
rock II in a historic race. This race was
contested in 1901.
Throughout the history of the contest
for the Americas cup there has been
much controversy over the conditions I'M
der which the races were to be sailed
The trust deed" under which the races
have been held has been subjected to
much criticism, and there have been fire.

ditions. Prior to each race there has

The Dunraven Negotiations.

Lord Dunraven carried on one unsuc-
cessful negotiation for a match race, but
in 1893 finally arranged a contest. His
Valkyrie II was matched against the vigil
liant. after exciting contests had been held
to decide which yacht should be selected
to defend tho Americas cup. The race
between the valkyrie II and the Vigil
liant. which was contested October ID,
1898. attracted widespread notice, and
Americans hailed the Vigilant's final VIC
tory with great rejoicing.
Lord Dunraven entered the Valkyrie III
in another contest for the cup in 1895,
and the Defender was selected to race
against the British boat. There was
contest over the result. however, which
again engendered much bitterness. Ugly
charges were made, and the entire affair
ended unfortunately. Charles Day Rose,
an Engiishman, issued challenge while
the controversy was going on, but later
Withdrew it. Lord Dunfaven later filed
charges of fraud, an investigation was
held and the affair ended when Lord
Dunraven. was ouSted as an honorary
member Of the New York Yacht Club.

las REMAINED HERE SINCE
Wrangles Grew Out of Contests to
Recapture Trophy in 1871
and 1898.

The challenge issued by the ROYAL
Ulster Yacht Club on behalf of Sir Thom-
as Upton to the New York Yacht Club
for another contest for the America
cup promises a revival of the interna-
tional interest in yachting, and serves
to recall the stirring history connected
with past races for this long-famous
trophy, which has now remained tn the
United States for more than fifty years
Yachtsmen everywhere are taking keen
interest in the prospect of another series
of races, and are discussing the famous
Americas cup.
The Americas. cup known the world
over as the sporting trophy more sought
after. than any other, and as meaning
more from an International viewpoint,
has already been the basis for many great
contests. Sir Thomas Upton, the famous
British sportsman. who has been the
challenger for a number of years, will be
the representative Of England again.
America Won It in 1851.
The cup was won from an English fleet
at Cowes by the schooner America
August %, 1851. It was presented as an
International trophy to the American peo-
pie in 1851, and ten times before the
close of the last century was sailed for
fruitiessly by foreign challengers. Since
then 1t has come to be recognized as the
blue ribbon In yachting
Eighteen years passed between the
winning Of the cup by the America and
the first challenge for it, The first chal-
lenge race was held August s, 1870, and
the Cambria was the first challenger.
The race was an exciting one in every
way, and drew worldwide attention. 1t
was won by the Magic, after the old
America had proved somewhat of a dis
appointment.

WrangIe Of 1871 Recalled.

Another challenge from England was
issued in 1871, but a wrangle over the
terms resulted. and, although a series of
races were contested, nothing much ex-
cept bitterness resulted. In 1875 a chal-
ienge was received from Canadian
yachtsmen and there was a race between
the Canadian schooner Countess of Duff
ferin and the American boat Madeleine,
IN which the Madeleine came out victor
fous- The feurtll challenger, the Atlanta
was also from Canada, but the American
boat Mischief won q victory and kept
the Americas cup in the United States
In 1885 English .yachtsmen returned
to the contest for the cup. and the
Genesta, q cutter. was sent over to try
to win the coveted trophy. The Puri-
tan, Boston boat, was selected to de-
fend the cup, and did so successfully.
In the next year the Galatea was sent
over from England, but the Mayfiower
won the races. and continued the cup
in America.
Scotland decided to issue a challenge
for the cup in 1887, and the Thistle
was sent over. Boston came to the
front again with q, defender, and the
Volunteer was selected to race the
Thistle. A number of other boats were
built for the trials. but the Volunteer
won the honor, and also later succeed
ed in defeating the Thistle. This was
the last race held over the New York
Yacht Club course.

Knocks for Inter-League Series
No Friends for Herrmann's Plan

z UT. as Messrs. Lynch and john
u son agree, there is one big dis
advantage.
The Worlds Series has come to be
regarded as the Baseball Classic Ii
is the short, sharp, crucial encounter
that settles for all time between two
particular clubs which shall enjoy the
title of worlds champion of certain
year.
The settlement may not suit every
body. But as a matter of history the
better club usually wins. And. any
way, the affair Is settled in the good
American way--in short, sharp, de-
cisiye action.
. REXY LYNCH fancies the long
dramn-out interleague season
would result in a great loss of inter
est, with the contests becoming mere
local series, not of national impor-
tance'
Prexy Ban already had voiced a
similar opinion.
And now even Jawn J. McGraw,
who has a right to be sore on the
present system If anybody has. lines
up with the powers that be and chimes
in at the top of his lungs for a Worlds
Series.
Which, by the way, reminds one
that even the losers "cut" is worth
having.
