Again to Be Big Prize
for Event

Plans are being formulated to again
hold the Bermuda cruiser race, which has
been one of the features in the motorboat
game In this vicinity and New York since
1907. For the last two years interest in
the contest has died out. One of the
prime movers in back of the project is

Club of this city.

have the race run, and according to rumor

the one for which the cruisers raced in
former years, that being the James Cor
don Bennett Cup As there is a $1,000 cash
prize offered for the winning craft, the
attraction for the race should be more
keen.
Since the start of the race nine years
ago six races have been held. In 1911,
1911 and last season no races were con-
Quoted, although an attempt was made
TO run the event in 1914. That year the
contest was scheduled and number CT

the country were entered Up to almost
the day of the start of the race the inter

unknown reason the contest was called
Off. Last season interest was nil
Probably ono of the reasons which killed
the interest In this long distance race
was the weather encountered by the boats
in the race held in 1913. The Dream,

she managed TO come in a winner. The

again in the cup competition that Is now
in progress,
Lewis has Just been chosen vice presl-
dent of the Bethlehem Steel Company,
which means that he is a brilliant man in
other spheres than merely soccer The
soccer men, however, hail the elevation
of Lewis, as they regard this as an omen
of future success, and also the assurance
that he and that company will be behind
the sport with greater vim than ever, and
will struggle to keep the game in its pres
ent state and bring more championships
to this section.
AS a result of Lewis activity and en-
ergy, the Bethlehem team now has the
best soccer field in the country, an all
around athletic equipment that would do
credit to any university or college. Within
three seasons of his first entry into the
sport as a manager he had developed the
wonderful team which won the National
Cup competition last fall. He worked as
methodically as Connie Mack I'm building
