knows the ropes on a tour of the

Onward to Meeting the Bankers the Finals For the City Tlel
CONTEST FOR CUP
MAY FALL THROUGH
Hitch in Negotiations Between
New York Yacht Club anc
Sir Thomas Upton.

NEW YORK, Aug. T7.-There is q
hitch in the negotiations about the con.
ditions to govern the Americas Cur
races next year, and it is possible thai
there will be no race. Several yachts.
men high in the councils OF the New
York Yacht Club are of opinion thai
the two committees representing the
New York and Royal Ulster Yacht
Clubs will fail to agree. In that event
only one way is left to have a series OF
races sailed. The deed of trust specifi-
cally states that in the event of the
challenging club and the challenged
club falling to agree on the conditions
rules, course, ETC.. the match shall con-
sist OF three races, the courses be forty
miles, and the yachts race without time
allowance.
Some time ago the Royal UIstes
Yacht Club cabled to the New York
Yacht Club that the conditions had
been signed and copies mailed to the
challenged club. The conditions have
not been agreed on. Sir Thomas is still
and it is the same old
trouble. He wants the New YorI
Yacht Club to say that IL will meet
the challenging yacht with a vessel OF
similar size. He has tried now three
times to have the defending club dc
this, and each time, so far. he has been
beaten and he will be beaten this time
The New York Yacht Club, as tbs
defender Of the Americas Cup, is no
obliged to declare at this moment wha
1t will do. 1t has accepted the chal
lenge of the Royal Ulster Yacht Clut
which named a vessel as feet on tn,
water line. 1t has appointed a commit
tee to arrange with the challenging
club the conditions to govern that race
and il has conceded that the yacht
shall be measured according to th
present rules Of measurement
According to the deed of gift, the de
Tending club may name any yacht q
defend the trophy. 1t may be larger o
smaller than the challenger. and it doa
not have to name that yacht until fey
days before the first race. The clul
plans to defend this time with a yach
about the same size as the challenger
1t would be unsportsmanlike TO put
big yacht like the Reliance against
preciates that better than the member
of the New York Yacht Club. Sir Thorn
as Upton has gone out of his way
say to the public that he has Away
had fair treatment at the hands of tn
New York Yacht Club and is perfect.
content to leave all arrangements
that club.
In spite of statements like this he
now harping on the size of the defender
and on this point the two clubs are like
ly to- split, for the New York Yach
Club will not give way one inch on thi
point.

NEWPORT. r. l., Aug. 17.-Many as

this city today for the all-comers tour
nament, which begins on the Casino

The tournament will be the thirty

changed and cover the time and place
OF playing future games, so that all
misunderstandings will be avoided.
Naval people feel that they are on
soIid ground in opposing any change
from Philadelphia. That city, it is adj

from West Point and Annapolis OF any
place which can afford suitable grounds.

interest of the contest would be LOST

ting OF the routine at the schools.
Crowd Hard to Handle.
The most serious objection 10 the
old method. however would be the
impossibility of properly caring for the
tremendous crowd which would attend
the games. At Annapolis there is a
PeLLlaheht stand. seating about $500
persons and some temporary stands
GouId ,9!id be erected. At West Point, con-
uItions are understood to be even less
satisfactory, there being no permanent
stands at all. With free admission.
5000 persons would be a small estimate
OF those who would try to see the
game: As 1t would be out of the aues-
lon TO keep the public off of a Fed
eral reservation. there would be no
end OF dlscord and bad feeling on the
part OF those who were kept where
they could not see the game In fact,
the suggestion is felt to be absolutely
Ah effort will also be made to reach
an agreement which will cover the time
OF paving the game. West Point has
always wished TO play on the Saturday
before Thanksgiving Day, while An
hapoils lkes week later 1t is now
proposed that ii be played on the later
date, providing il falls not later than
November -. and in such cases to pIav

accept this. provided November oS be
selected as the latest date on which

ARMY AND NAVY TO
SETTLE ARGUMENT

ANNAPOLIS. Aug. T.-Recent con-
fererces of the athletic representatives
of the United States Naval and Mill
tary Academies have made it much
more likely that there viii be an agree
ment as to the playing of the annual
football game between the two insti-
tutiOns. though there has been as yet
absolutely no agreement as to the To-
cation OF the game.
1t has been settled that the game
will be played on Saturday, November
2S, II location is agreed upon, but ef-
forts to arrange general rule TO fix
:he time of the game so that there will
not be continual difference of opinion
on this point, have up TO this time been
without result.
The representatives of the Military
Academy are dissatisfied with the seat
ing arrangements at Philadelphia, and
have proposed that the game be played
In New York or that II alternate be-
tween Annapolis and West Point, play
ing this year 1t West Point, as the last
game under this arrangement was play
cd at Annapolis. The representatives
Of the Naval Academy consider that
New York would entail too great a
journey upon them. while neither An
napolis nor West Point has the proper
accommodations to take care of the
great crowd that would attend the
game.
Favors Franklin Field.
West Point is willing to continue to
play the game on Franklin Field, Phila-
helphia, if better arrangement of seats
can be made. The Army received about
5000 tickets last season, and the same
has been offered them this year. II is
stated that the Army can get along
with this number. as the Navy does
also, but that IL complains that so many
of the seats are far down the field tnat
a great many officers and members of
their families do not have satisfactory
locations for watching the game 1t is
believed that II a better arrangement
can be made. the Army will withdraw
Its objections to Franklin Field,
On the other hand. the Navy, while II
maintains its position as to a change of
location, would probably Concede the
Army's demands rather than give up
the game. In view Of the conciliatory
spirit in which the representatives are
meeting each other. there is a very
great probability that an agreement will
be reached. Both sides desire to reach
an agreement which will stand until

close second for being a sporty course.
At present there are a number of diff

sorts of hazards. 1t requires two or
three years before a course is in good
playing shape and the grass is suffi-
ciently grown and rightly taken care

Hughes may umpire.


Tom Hughes should make a good UNI
pire. He possesses the right personality,
and surely, from his years of serving
them over should know how to call
them atthe plate. Many of the fans
take more to former baseball players as
umpires than the general run of arbi-
tdrs who have had experience in small
leagues. Bill Dineen is a good umpire,
and Tom Hughes should be equally as
successful.

with players and Columbia and Chevy

They tell amazing tales, winter and

Washington Country Club players last

that in match play for the Mckinley
Go!f Trophy at Hutchinson, in the mid
summer event. in a game between Pryer
Combs and John Schwinn, the latter
lost on the seventeenth hole when 4
bull-snake swallowed his golf ball. Later
the snake was run down and killed. but
the lost BALI lost the game for
SChwinn, according to the rules.
Schwinn was ! up on Combs at the
seventeenth hole, and his approach shot
seemed to leave him certain of winning,
when the snake was seen to wrigSle
across the green, and before the PLAYERS
or their caddies could reach him had
swallowed the ball and made off into
the rocks lind grass. Combs won this
and the home hole.
Sun baked courses are Productive of
better golf than the frost touched
