America s CupRace

Sir Thomas Upton has again chal-
lenged the New York Yacht Club to
race for the Americas Cup. The
club announced yesterday that the
challenge had been received from the
Royal Ulster Yacht Club on behalf Of
Sir Thomas.
The yacht named in the offer is the
Shamrock ". No answer to the
challenge has been made. but the Amer
cas- Cup Committee, which has the
matter in charge, will meet within the
next two weeks. 1t is expected the
challenge will be accepted and contest
arranged for 1920.
New York yachtsmen have been
awaiting the challenge for many
months. Sir Thomas challenged in
December, 1918. but the New York
yachtsmen, in view Of the unsettled
conditions due to the war, declined.
They suggested that if Sir Thomas
cared to renew the challenge later
they would accept for race in 1920.
Members of the New York club say
the Americas title will probably be
defended by the Rcsolute, which, with
the Vanitie, was built by the club in
1914. During the season Of 1915 the
Resolute won nine races and the Van
itie three Of twelve contests in which
both were entered.

Yeggg's Kit Explodes
In Parcel Room

If yeggmen don't take better care Of
their luggage the Pennsylvania Rail
road is likely to make them check their
grips and parcels in a special parcel
room at the station at Thirty-third
Street. It's an expensive station and
the company can't afford to take
chances with absent minded safe crack
crs, said Sam Schultz yesterday. He
had charge of the parcel room Sunday
evening when some careless yegg's suit
case blew up and practically ruined
Sans uniform. The explosion, which
was in the parcel room on the track
level Of the station, was heard all
through the building and was forci-
bic reminder of the bombs recently
discovered in the Postoffice around the
corner. 1t Uttered the storeroom with
bundles and bags many Of them dis
gorging their contents at the shock.
George Spencer and Harry Morton,
Of the Pennsylvania staff Of detect
ives, discovered one suitcase that was
worse manglcd than any other Amid
its ruins they found two .38 calibrc
revolycrs, two electric torches, two
electric drills, two "can openers" Of n
temper which would make most safes

assorted UltS, several palTS OF gloves
and the shattered fragments Of q bot

1t was the making Of q superfne

Thirty years ago Ernest Albert Gus

Germany, his native land. 1t wasn't
long before he became a footman in
the home of James j. Hill, the railroad

twenty years he was a butler in the
John Sloane home, and his wife was the

Two years ago their employer died

Several weeks ago, Kurth, taking ad-
vantage OF Mrs. Wanamakers absence
country home, departed to attend to
some business of his own. Mrs. Wana-

1t was about week later-on Sat-
urday, September 27, to be exact-that
small package, strangely heavy. was

the Wanamaker department store. The
address was simply Mrs. Rodman

this was written on an American En-

Ordinarily Mary O'Brien opens such

CHICAGO, Oct. 6.--After the man.
ner of mighty python, the great
Red pitching staff has coiled itself
around the White Sox sluggers, whose
crushed remains in the all-embracing
folds now have only scant breath left.
To-day in the dazed and bewildered
presence of $4,000 South Side rooters,
Pat Moran turned loose his fifth py-
thonic entry on the Sox, and when
"Hod" Ellcr had completed the days
work, Kid Gleason's once great machine
was a total loss.
Eller's exhibition in tho fifth melee
was a masterpiece of enduring mold
The big righthander not only set the
Sox down with three scattered blows,
but he also led the attack which ulti-
mately resulted in a to triumph

Reds Take Trail Homeward
AS result Of this sensational ex-
hibtion of pitching prowess the buoy
ant Reds took the trail home tonight
to win the last jewel for their crown
before home fans. They are confident
now Of closing out the series upon
their own Ped soil, with the uproar
of their own people swinging out across
the Buckeye hills.
They have already achieved miracle
in beating and outclassing the Amer
lean League champions in four games
out Of FIVE, and under the old rules that
have governed the series for fourteen
years they tonight would be cham
pions of the world. worthy successors
10 the Red Sox Of the East. But their
final triumph has only been delayed by
one or possibly two games. NO club
that could produce five such pitchers
in five successive games is going to be
halted at the rim Of victory. No other
manager in world series history has
ever turned five different pitchers upon
a rival club in successive order with
such victorious results. These five Red
stars have held the Sox to one earned
run in forty-fve innings, and this lone
tally was the result Of two huky blows.
