WILL TEST YACHTS.
NEW YORK. - All the trial races
o select a defender of the Americas
cup will be held either in Long Island
or Block Island sounds. This means
that the three cup boats that are to
battle for the honor OF racing against
Sir Thomas Lipton's Shamrock ".
will not be seen all next summer
further east than Hen and Chickens
light vessel. at the entrance to Vine
yard sound. or nearer New York wa
-er than City Island.
The Gardner designed boat being
built for Alexander S Cochran by
LaHley and Sons of South Boston, of
course, will be tried alone few
times in Massachusetts bay and the
craft from George Overs design,
which is being built at the Bath Iron
works at Bath, Me-. syndicate headed
by t. Walter Clark of Philadelphia
and George NJ. Pynchon of this city,
they will be both brought around
Cape Cod into Long Island sound be-
fore they are given their finishing
ouches preparatory to their first
ctual trials.
This course has been agreed on by
The owners and designers of all three
Yachts. in spite of urgent invitations
from Eastern yachtsmen to make
'n~h'ohead a base for some of the
contests.
All he yacht clubs on Long Island
sound hope to get a share of the
races between the trio of big cup
boats and as prizes will be really no
inducement for them, every effort will
be bent to arrange races on conven-
lent dates and schedules that will not
conflict with one another.
Sid Hester, the crack first base
man. who graduated from the col
! legiate nine at the Aggies, says the
Denever Times, has made so good
with the Great Falls team of the
Union association that he now has
two offers to consider One of them
comes from President F. c. Farr of
the Spokane club in the Northwest
ern. who has made him a good pro
position to hold down the initial sack
for his club, while the other comes
rom Salt Lake m the Union. The
T'ah team wants him to manage the
team.
Last year Hester played in 115 out
If the 100 games that made UP the
Union schedule. He hit 1858, made
fifty three sacrifice hits and stole
thirty bases. In fielding, he was only
three points behind Bert Woolums
also of this city, who led the league
with 1874.
Cozy Dolan, the former Grizzly
third baseman, may never appear
in a ST. Louis uniform. The most
traded player in recent seasons Of
big league baseball, he has been
made the subject Of $4,000 cash
offer by Manager George Stallings
Of the Boston Nationals and it is
not improbable that the deal will
go through Higgins only object ion
is that he wants players, not money,
and Stallings Is giving his squad the
'once-over'' 10 see which one he can
spare best.
