Sandy Hook, June 14-A full sail northwesterly breeze that ran the wind gauge up to Is knots an hour swept the waters of Americas cup course to- day when the trio of cup yachts. Reso- 1ute. Vanitie and Defiance left for the starting line at Ambrose Light vessel for the second contest of the Sandy Hook races. The contest today was to be 30 mile race around the triangle. 10 miles to a leg and one calculated by the regatta committee to test the cup candidates in all points of sailing.
 Rese1ute's smart performance yes terday, heating Vanitie in a IS mile thrash to windward and return by a handsome margin, put a fine edge of interest in the second race of the yachts to be held in the open sea. un- der conditions that will be found when Sir Thomas Lipton's fourth cup cha1- lenger, Shamrock " sails over the course next September
 There was little, sea running today when the single stickers prepared to make sail.

TUCKEY HAS
 TOO MUCH FOR NEW LONDONERS


 New London. June 11-Dick Tuekey had something besides a glove yester- day and the proud New London league leaders were bow1ed over by Bridge port to the music of to o. Tuckey held the Planters to four hits and there never was a. time when they had. a chance to score. Tuckey did not give pass. neither did he fan any body-but he had the Planters pop ping up files as is shown by the fact that Tierney and Senno each had five putouts.
 Bill Powers, the eccentric s1abman, was on duty for New London. He tb1anked the Bolts for six innings but they fell on him in the seventh for-sa pair of runs. Although the Bolts got only four hits they managed to bunch them and were able to get three ta1lies on the same number of safeties which yielded nothing to New London.
 Manager Bou1tes and Bowman made some great stops for Bridgeport and, Marhefka helded brilliantly for the Planters. Ira Ha1lnan got the only extra base hit of the game, a two bagger that came in the seventh.
 The clubs battled along on even terms until the seventh when Hal1nan landed on Powers for a two bagger. Senno sacrificed and Tierney popped out BouItes walked and stole sec ond, Catcher Ahearn fearing to throw with Ealirnan on third Buster Bow man came through with a single that scored HaIlman and Bou1tes. In the eighth Ems drew a pass and worked his way around by a couple of New Lon -' don errors. The score:

TO-DAY IN SPORTING HISTORY

19O1-Austin Rice defeated Tommy F'eItz in 20 rounds at New Britain, Conn. This battle was declared to involve the bantamweight champion ship, which had been in dispute since 1898. Rice was never recognized as the champion, however. as Harry Harris, by his defeat of Ped1ar Pal mer in England a short time before had gained the best right to the title. Rice and FeItz fought again 9 few weeks later, and went 20 rounds to q draw. Austin got draw decisions with Hugh McPadden, Tommy Sullivan, and other good bantanns later in the year, but was defeated by Tony Mo ran at New Haven. In 1902 Harry Forbes became champion by defeat ing Dan Dougherty and Tommy Feltz, but was soon succeeded by Frankie Neil.

The fighting Bridgeport club won the respect of the New London fans by the display of pepper in the Planters. home town during the two game ser les which has just closed. Manager Boultes and the other players claim they were entitled to the decision in the IS Inning battle but that Umpire Keenan robbed them right and left. They were particularly incensed over the decision of the umpire ealing Bollltes out for interference.
 The Bridgeport manager was at bat when Senno started from second 10 steal third. He had a Sbig lead and Catcher Ahearn threw the ball over the third sacker's head, Senno SCOT ing. The umpire said nothing to Boultes about interference then but Ahearn rushed out and claimed Boultes had swung his bat in front Of the ball as Ahearn was about to throw. Thereupon the umpire called BoQltes out and senno went back to second. costing Bridgeport a run.
 Yesterday, lOutdeldeI. Dan Tierney was called out on a third strike and as soon as he made a howl of dismay. he was put out of the game. Crook went to center field.
 It is all right to put a player out if he makes a long kick and uses profan- ity but it is unfair to fans who pay money to see a regular lineup when the urnp1reS eJecE players who mercy protest mildly on q decision.
 Manager BouItes said this morning that steinbach. the new pitcher, was expected this afternoon. Scout Doyle of the Cleveland club, who recommend- ed Steinbach, said the youngster would surely report today.
