DEFENDER YACHTS ARE
About TO ENTER SECOND LEG
First Official Tests Will Be Held Off Newport Next
Week-WillB Begin on July 7-Expect to
Secure Valuable Data.

New York, July with the We
weaknesses which developed in
the tuning up races corrected, the
trio of cup defense yachts are about
to enter upon the second stage Of the
Americas cup p~reliminaries. Be-
ginning this week off Newport will be
held the first official tests OF the Reso-
lutte, Vanitie and Defiance and the
cup committee will base its final Sc
lection Of a defender upon the result
of these and subsequent races.
These initial point races, as they
are termed since the points scored
will count for or against the defense
aspirants, begin on July Z with a ser
les Of round-robin races in which each
yacht will race the two others in turn
and the committee expects to secure
valuable data as a result Of the dual
contests. The early races. both on
Long Island and off Sandy Hook
clearly indicated that of the trio the
Resolute was the only yacht really
ready for the June races. Once the
'remodeling OF spars and sails is COM

contests will be far closer and he
victories more evenly divided.
While the structural points Of the

important factor. The preliminary

from their training amp at Port

they felt in the pink of condition.
Their looks bore out their state

Welsh is the favorite in the bettin,,

compatriots have been giving him at
Cardiff. where most OF the betting so
far has been 5 to 4 in his favor.

Photographing o Race Horse Said to

Does photographing a race horse

photographer told after the recent
sensational scratching for the Derby

pairing for his match with Freddie

all sweets.

Richie at his training quarters. II

He has a defense for his liking that
is based on we'll known physiological
facts. Arctic explorers, as every one
knows, eat sugar because in no other
equal food bulk can so much heat
and strength be found. Richie calls
attention to the fact that the govern
ment regularly issues candy to its
soldiers on duty in the Philippines.
He has a multitude of instances at
