N. Y. Y.C. GETS CABLE
FROM SIR THOMAS
Commodore Baker Says British
Baronet Has Challenged for
Americas Cup.

That Sir Thomas Upton has chal-
lenged for the Americas Cup was con-
hrmed at the New York Yacht Club
yesterday. George F. Baker, Jr., COM
modoro Of the club, announced that he
was In receipt Of a cable message from
the Royal Ulster Yacht Club 10 the
effect that q challenge for America
Cup was on It's way from overseas on
behalf OF Sir Thomas Upton.
The text OF the challenge has not been
received because of cable congestion. but
officers OF the club said 1t probably
would reach here in a day or two. They
added that as soon as the club officials
received the challenge the club would
answer 1t. In view of the fact that the
British baronet's challenge was ac-
cepted in 1913. when the war prevented
the contests, Il is likely that the Ameri-
can yachtsmen will waive the clause of
the deed of gift that requires chal-
lenge for the cup TO be sent ten months
prior TO race. This probably will be
done so that the contests may be held
next summer.
Sir Thomas's Shamrock ~. which ne
has named as the challenger, IS at Erie
Basin, Brooklyn. 1t was on the high
seas In 1914 when the contest was called
of because OF the world war.
AHo podl WHICH tne new 1OTK 1ACnI
Club will race, although It has not yet
been announced, will in all probability
be Resolute. This yacht Ia owned by a
syndicate and won the greater number
OF races In the trial contests of 1914
against Alexander Smith Cochrans
Vanitie.
Both the Resolute and Vanltie are
stin intact and could easily be put in
racing condition. Neither has materi-
ally deteriorated during the layup.
More than ordinary interest centred
in Shamrock ". because her construc-
ton Is a sort of veneering proposition
She is built OF wood in five layers, sewed
with copper wire.
Resolute has a steel and bronze hull
and q length over all OF 100 feet 1
inches. as compared with 10 over all
measurement OF the Shamrock ". Both
vessels are as feet at the water line.

RES0LUTE FIT TO WIN.
So Say Men who Helped Build Cup
Defender,

BosToN, Dec. i3.--The sloop Resolute,
picked to defend the Americas Cup
against Sir Thomas Lipton's Shamrock
". in 1914. will be found still in condi-
ton to defend the famous trophy IL the
latest challenge OF Sir Thomas is sc-
cepted by the New York Yacht Club. in
the opinion Of Boston men who helped
build her.
The Resolute which defeated the
Vanitle in the trials to pick defender,
was housed IN special structure at City
Island. near New Rochelle. after the
challenge races were called off on ac-
count of the war. and special pains were
taken to preserve her for future interna-
tlonal competition.
Friends of Charles Francis Adams I'd
OF this city. who handled the Resolute
in her trial races. said to-day that he
probably would take the helm again II
called upon. Lieutenant Commander
Robert w. E.mnnons I'd OF this city, who
headed the syndicate which built the de-
fender. Is at present on overseas duty.
