Helena, March 2O-(Special )--Ref-

operations of the Kiley boxing bill

soulian prophesied, and according to
the Rev. Leland w. Porter, secretary
of the special organization that has
for it's object the cancellation of the
boxing law, the movement will be for
mally launched Easter Sunday in the
Helena churches It is presumed that
the petitions will be distributed for the
signatures of church-g goers after the
services. Mr. Porter also stated the
petitions are already being circulated
in some of the other counties of the
state.

The only conditions I ask are those of

ceive that the trainers of that docu-
ment, after taking pains to prohibit
all time allowance contemplated races
between such ridiculous extremes as
yachts of 65 and 90 feet.
If upon reconsideration, which

be good enough to give this matter

SIR THOMAS Upton CABLES Ex-
PLANTATION OF HIS TERMS
TO NEW YORK CLUB.
EXPLAINS DEED OF GIFT 7
English Sportsman Says That His
Def Agreed With Deed of Gift and
Proves lt-lrish Club Signs State
ment.

Belfast, Ireland. March 20-A re-
quest was sent today by cable by the
Royal Ulster Yacht club asking the
New York Yacht club for a reconsd-
Grafton of it's refusal of Sir Thomas
Lipton's challenge for the Americas
cup. This was accompanied by a long
statement from Sir Thomas with
which the committee of the Irish
club signified its agreement
The committee hopes that the har-
monious relations of the two clubs
viii be cemented further by another
successful series of races and there
fore requests the New York club to
reconsider the challenge.
The Statement.
Sir Thomas Lipton's statement is as
follows:
Il deeply regret that the New York
Yacht club has been unable to accept
my challenge. After reading the ex-
PLANTATION given of it's refusal l can
only conclude that the challenge and
the intentions of the challengers have
been misinterpreted. The deed of
gift states
The competing yachts or vessels
if of one mast shall not be less than
65 feet nor more than 80 feet at the
water line
THE deed of gift also stated that
there shall be no time allowance.
1T must be presumed that the
trainers of the deed of gift intended
that some reasonable meaning should
be attached to their words and they
could never have contemplated such
an absurdity as a challenger of 65
feet being met by a 90-foot defender.
THE deed of gift also requires that
10 months prior to the race the chal-
lenger shall communicate the dimen-
sions of his yacht, which dimensions
shall not be exceeded If the real
meaning of the words quoted is that
the challenger is the person to fix
within the limitation of the deed of
gift the dimensions of the competing
yachts and that both yachts are to be
of that dimension, then the deed at
once becomes inteligible and reason
able.
Il submit that this is the true in
depreciation of the deed of gift.
1T was on this understanding that
I challenged and l repudiate the idea
that any attempt has been made to
impose limitations or restrictions not
within the deed of gift.
Different Terms.
Il venture to disagree with the
statement made by the New York
Yacht club that the present challenge
does not differ in principle from the
challenge I sent to America in 1907
The 1907 challenge asked for a varia-
ton from the deed of gift, in order
to permit of a race under the uni
versal rule. No such variation is
asked for in this case and I fail to
see that there is any analogy between
the two challenges.
Il fully understood the decision of
the New York Yacht club in 1907 to
permit no variation from the deed of
gift, despite mutual agreement on the
clause, but | maintain that this has
no bearing whatever upon my present
challenge.
THE New York Yacht club states

"OPTlMlSTIC JOE"

Don't worry, fans, the old ballpark
Is plenty good enough;
The roadway may be dusty,
And seem a little rouph
Those troubles viii all fade away,
Just like one great, big dream:
For things are never half as bad
AS they do really seem
Think of the poor old kiddies,
Who work hard for a few cents;
And will gladly take a bloody nose
For a knothole in the fence.
While you can sit and listen
For that old, familiar CALL
And your blood begins to tingle
When the umpire shouts Play BALI
But when the game is over,
You'll want to keep it dark
That you ever tried to criticize
our Highlander baseball park.
