Americas sCupAgdn SOughtFOr By Upton

 Belfast, Ireland, Dec. 12.--iBy The Associated Press). The Royal Ulster Yacht Club has sent cablegrams to the New York Yacht Club containing challenge, for the Americas cup.
 Sir Thomas Lipton is relying on Shamrock ". for the challenge, which is made on behalf of Sir Thomas.
 Sir Thomas Lipton thrice has at tempted to lift the Americas cup, historically known as the trophy for the "blue ribbon" event of yachting between the United States and Eng land Three Shamrocks. have come across seas and fought for supremacy, but unsuccessfullys with American built craft over the triangular wind ward and leeward courses off Sandy Hook, and still another Shamrock, called Shamrock ", was being sent across the Atlantic in the summer of 1a14 for contest for the cup when the European war broke out.
 This race never was sailed, and the Shamrock ". since has been lying boxed up in a Brooklyn shipyard.

WILLARD OFFERED s7s,ooo
 TO FIGHT DEMPSEY IN MEXICO

Twas only a few days ago a report ftitted. over the spidery wires that Denver promoters were willing, yea eager, to hang up a purse of $50, 900 for Jess Willard and Jack Dempsey to fight for. A terrible lot of money to normal citizen. but to a fighter and his manager 'tis simply little pile of dross.
 As for accepting this offer perish the thought. It would mean the ban ishment of both the battfers and man agers from the union, If Willard and Dempsey ever come together the scene of strife will probably be at Tia Jua- na, Mexico, where Jim Coffroth con trols a race course At the present moment the track is not open for bus mess, but it is expected the ban will be lifted within the next few weeks and then the big fight will begin to scethe.
 Dempsey Will Gamble.
 To get Willard to consider stepping into Mexico he will be tempted with an offer of $75.000 by Coroth. Natu- rally you can get reason why the Denver offer will be tin-canned. This offer will just be for the champion Dempsey is willing to gamble on the chances of getting little piece of change and also the opportunity of winning the title.
 There is hardly any doubt that if this event comes to pass the gate will be large enough to satisfy the packers of the proposition. Jack Kearns. the manager of Dempsey is authority for the statement that big forfeit will be posted when Willard accepts the the offer.
 Glancing over the heavyweight sit uation, Willard is in position where he must fight or quit Not that we intend to direct the big fellows af- fairs, but 'tis the only proper thing for him to do. At the various clubs the blatant anpouncers proclaim Dempsey the worlds heavyweight champion.
 Must Fight or Quit Now.
 That's taking a whole lot on them selves, but announcers are a fearless set and little bubble like this wor- ries them not. Still the fact remains if Jess doesn't fight within a reason able time his crown will be on a par with. the battered baub1e Bill Hohen- zollern wore until recently.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS DEPRESSED.


 New York, Dec. 12.-Reasons for the early hesitation and later heaviness of today's stock market were provided by Director General McAdoo's recorn- mendation to congress respecting ex- Istine railroad conditions and the partial deadlock created by the war boards refusal to determine new prices for steel and iron.
 Despite MT. McAdoo's qualified, dis avowal of government ownership, his suggestion that federal control os the railroads be extended to five wears came as . an unpleasant surprise to financial and banking interests.
 Rails of high and low degree fell i to 2 1-2 points, their reversal soon spreading to numerous other issues dependent upon the prosperity of transportations.
 It was generally conceded thar the reaction might have attained wider pi 9; Tt onS but for the figures issued by the department of agriculture, which estimated the value of tae coun- try's Liberty crops at about $600,- 0o0. 900 in excess of any prevlous rec ord.,

CHALLENGE A SURPRISE
 N- TO N. ". YACHT CLu

V tNs S@S
 New York, Dec. 12.-The challenge from the Royal Ulster Yacht club had not been received at the New York Yacht club tonight. Surprise was ex- pressed by members of the clr/ that it had been sent so soon after the close Of the war. In the absence of Secretary George A. Cormack, who Is ins Washington, and Comm--@>-e Geo. F. Baker, who was at his home or at the club, no official statement was forthcoming.
 It was explained, however, that the probable procedure will be at the ap- pointment by the commodore of spe- cial committee to frame a reply. Since cup races usually are held in Septem- ber or October, theFe will be ample time to prepare for race if one is held. It had been the opinion of the club that Sir Thomas Lipton would not challenge for contest next year because of conditions following the war.
 Arthur Curtiss James, the promi- nent yachtsman. said: If Sir Thomas has challenged we have the Resolute laid up and it will be a case of one old boat against another"
