utes eight seconds, in the second race she did not finish; in the third she was defeated by minutes 34 sec onds.
 Sir Thomas's appinetite for that bat tered Silver cup was only whetter tho more. He sent his second challenge in October of the next year, 1900. This time the American committee consist ed of Commodore Lewis Cass Ledyard; Vice-Commodore August Belmont, Rear Commodore c. L. D. Robinson, Secretary J. V. s. Oddie, s. Nicholson Kane, c. o. K. lselin, and .E. M. Brown. Messrs Robinson, Oddie, Kane and Brown are now dead.
 The Herreshoffs again got the job structed the sloop Constitution, the money being supplied by August Bel mont, James Stillman, Oliver H. Payne, r. G. Bourne and Henry Wal ters. Captain Urias Rhodes sailed her.
 Poor Thomas w. Lawson Boston built the Independence and wanted a chance to pit her against the Consti- tuition and Columbia in the official tri- als, but the lordly New York Yacht club decided he was barred because not one of their members.
 The Constitution was the victim of an accident like that which had hap pened to the Columbia off Point Judith the year before. She lost her mast at Newport and was badly damaged The Columbia was finally selected to de- fend the cup second time.
 The Shamrock II, which was design, cd by Georfe l.. aWtson, came to grief in the Solent May p, 1901, while King Edward VII was on board. Like the Constitution and the Columbia her tall mast was too much for her in a strong blow and went overheard. But she was fixed up and was lowed across the Atlantic, making the trip in siA> teen days.
 The challenger was beaten by the Columbia three successive times, by minute 20 seconds, 8 minutes 8 seconds, and fl seconds, respectively.
 But the next year back was Sir Thomas with new challenger. He had Watson and Fife jointly design the Shamrock III, which was launched at Dumbarton, Scotland, March IT, 1903, and christened by the same Lady Shaftesbury who broke the bottle over this yaer's craft. Captains Wringe and Bevis sailed her. The Reliance and the Shamrock l II made nine starts in 1903, but only completed three races, all of which wer won by the american yacht, the first by minutes seconds and the second by minute and 19 seconds. Shamrock missed ! the finish line in the fog in the thirt race and her time was not taken.
 Sir Thomas sent over new chal lenge in 1907, but nothing came of il save futile jockeying. The Americans would not compete against Sir Thorn as 6S-foot rating sloop. The New York Yacht club declared that ''tht Americas cup, held by this club a: trustee, under the deed of gift, is ; trophy which stands pre-eminentl. for speed and for the utmost skill il designing, construction, managing and handling the competing vessels and should, therefore, be sailed for b, the fastest and most powerful vessels
 that can be produced"
 Still Sir Thomas did not give up He sent over more offers and afte

THE NATIONAL GAME: A B0ST0NlAN'S VIEW
Freedom Felt Astir in Open, and Baseball Growing
 in Popularity.

Cack. and the ball swirls high above a sea O. upturned faces! They seem to mount fave upon wave to the top most tier. For in the great amphl- theatre the massed thousands are look ing on at the great American game. Now the running fielder has the ball. and without a half1breath of hesita- ton has sent it straight to the base man. We seem to hear it's impact. smack, smack! in swift succession, as it meets two pairs of hands. The baseman takes it in on his frantic course and two men are out. NOW arouses a great rushing sound as or many waters. By one impulse the crowd is on its feet, and it's voice is as the plunging cadence of Niagara.
 From distance one had otten heard this long withdrawing roar and had smiled in sympathy There was a queer stir of longing to know what had reused the people so. Present at last at the game finds oneself. all un- intending it, shouting with the rest. It is not to cheer the players. No, there is sufficient sudedn delight just in lifting ones voice in indecorous glee. Nowhere else had one ever be- fore shouted as loud as one could. It would have attracted attention. It would not have ben polite. One new CT has dared be as noisy as one could. One had never even suspected that It is fun to let the voice out and out, on glorious surge of sound. It is part of a hard and fast social code that the voice must never be<geared up to top

Sir Thomas come a cropper with his freak boat this autumn, there is no reason. for thinking he will not be right back again, say in 1916 or 1917. He believs in sticking and he does want that cup.
 The cup is now more than sixty years old. It cost less than $500 when new and would not be worth one-third of that today. The trophy was offered by the Royal Yacht Ssuad- ron for race between boats of all nations The America won it in August 22, 1851, in race around the Isle of Wight, off the south coast of England.
 It came into the possession of the New York Yacht club in 1887 when it was presented to the club by George l.. Schuyler, the then sole surviving owner of the cup.

Down in the vault of famous jew elry house on Fifth avenue, New York City, there is dingy, battered piece of silver, neither modern work of beauty nor valuable antique, thing likely to tempt at first glance only the thief looking for something to feed his melting pot.
 Yet a great merchant has spen six teen years, several mihon dollars. lad stupendous amount of keen thinking in his endeavor to gain title to this carefully guarded objeG.. The Holy Grail was not more consistently sought.
 The piece of silver is the America's s cup, the worlds greatest yachting tro- phy. And the merchant is the worlds gamest sportsman, Sir Thomas Lipton.
 It is impossible to discourage Sir Thomas. In al those sixteen years, in thes three previou times that his craft have contendeI against the product of American brains, he has never gained single point, In all the nine races that counted his suc- cessive ShamrOcks either came in sec ond or failed to finish.
 But that has not lessened the jovial lrishmans arodr. He has had other impedimenta, too. Chickering's over the terms, disputes concerning the conditions of the races, such that his friends sometimes were moved to in. dignation over what they considered the unreasonableness of the Ameri- cans. But the bis tea merchant with the twinkling eyes never lost his equanimity "I want race, not a quarrel" he commented simply
 It was in the year of the Supanish war, '9S, that the New York Yacht club received the first challenge from the Royal Ulster Yacht club. The let ter received August 6, 1S9S gave Sir Thomas J. Upton as the owner of the yacht to be called Shamrock with a length on the load water line of 9S.5 feet.
 The challenge was brought over by a committee consisting of Vice Com modore R.. G. Sherman Crawford of the challenging club, H. NJ. McGil- downey and Hugh C. Kelly. accompa- nied by the new yachts designer, Will liam Fife, Jr., and Charles Russell.
 Immediately all was hustle in New York Yacht club circles. It is un- derstocd T. Pierpont Morgan, the cid est, furnished the money to build the defending yacht, the Columbia, the cup committee consisted of Mir. Nor san Edwin D. Morgan, E. M. Brown Herman B. Huryea, whose horse won the English Derby few days ago and Henry k. Lippineott. The keel oi the Columbia was laid at the Herre- shoff's place at Bristol. Rhode Island in the early winter of '9S and she was launched June 10, 1899.
 Charley Barr was her sailing mas ter, and her crew were Deer Island CTS. The Defender, who had defeated the Valkyrie II in 1895, was put il commission to race against her. Or August ? the Columbia was caught il a bit of blow off Point Judith ant her great steel mast went by thu board

PATRIOTIC WAVE IS
SWEEPING BERLIN
Louvain's Capture Brings En-
thusiasm to the German
Capital.
By KARL H. Won WIEGAND.

THE HAGUE, Aug. 21-Advices re-
ceived today from Berlin say a wave
of patriotic enthusiasm has engulfed
Berlin following the announcement that
the Belgian main position of Louvain
had been taken. At that time the news
of the occupation of Brussels had not
been received, but the official war Of
nee announcement stated that il could
not long hold out.
The Kaiser is at the front. but the
exact location of his headquarters is
withheld. Stories that the crown prince
had been wounded are denied, but there
is no information regarding his where
abouts other than the indefinite state
ment that he also is at the 'front.'
The brief bulletins published at the
war office withhold all details of the
advance Of the German infantry. 1t is
accepted in Berlin that now the forward
movement is well under way, there will
be no further serious checks
In TACT, enthusiastic predictions are
being made that the army of the
Meuse. now moving south from Lou
and the reserve troops will now break
through the French opposition and
push right through along the lines orig
inally planned. The general staff re-
ports insists that the French opposi-
ton will not be as hard to overcome
Ias was the Belgian.
Long lists of dead and wounded are
now being received. They include for
the most part names of infantrymen
indicating that the infantry is to pe
the main reliance of the army in the
present war.
Stories of imperfect German artillery
sent cut by British and French CORE
spondents are untrue. The artillery
has been of the greatest service in the
Belgian advance. and also in checking
the French movements in Lorraine.
