HISTORY OF ATTEMPTS
TO LIFT THE CUP
First Race for Cup As International
Prize Was Held Half a Century
Ago And the British Have
Been Trying at Inter
walls Since Then.

New York, July 1.-THE first rae
in II years for the Americas cup will
start Thursday off Sandy Hook, the
contesting boats being the cup de.
fender Resolute, and the challenger,
Sir Thomas S. Lipton's Shamrock ".
/, may be interesting at this time both
TO yachtsmen and to a great many
who are not acquainted with this form
of sport to read a few facts in con-
nection with this historic yachting
trophy.
To begin with the Americas cup at
first was not an international trophy.
In fact. il had no significance other
than being a prize offered by the Royal
Yacht squadron for a race around the
Isle of Wight, England, which was
open to all nations. In August, 1851,
the schooner yacht America, owned by
Commodore John l.. Stevens and four
other members Of the New York Yacht
club. won this race and the cup be-
came their property. Six years later,
Commodore Stevens and his associates
conveyed the prize to the New York
Yacht club in trust as a perpetual in
ternational trophy which has since
been known as the Americas cup, TAX
ing its name from the schooner yacht
which won il in British waters.
The first race for the Americas cup,
az an international prize, was held on
August 5, 1870, over the regular
course of the New York Yacht club
in New Works lower bay. The chal.
longing boat was Cambria, owned
by James Ashbury Of the Royal Yacht
squadron, England, and the cup was
defended by practically the whole
feet Of the New York Yacht club.
That. however. was the only race in
which the challenger ever had to sail
against a feet and the only contest
in which the issue was decided by a
single race. Cambria, by the way, nm
ished 10th in that event while the old
America finished fourth, the race being
won by Magic, the yacht Idler finish
ing second.
In all there have been IL contests
for the cup. in the second of which Mr..
Ashbury challenged with the schooner
Liyonia and the New York Yacht club
agreed to defend the trophy with only
one boat in the race. The 1871 con-
test was the best four odt of seven

MANY COMPETITORS
AGAINST AMERICANS
There Will Be a Dozen in the Bicycle
Road Race in the Olympic
Games.

Antwerp, July l3.-America will
have twelve opponets in the bicycle
road race and ten in the velodrome
track events in the Olympic games.
Among the contestants will be some of
the best amateur cyclists OF this side
of the Atlantic, including Pekes, the
famous Dutchman, who has been win
ming all over Europe.
Olympic committees to-day an
nounced the following nations had en-
tered the velodrome events to be held
Aug. 9 and 10;
Great Britain, the United States,
Holland, Denmark, Italy, South Africa,
Canada, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Po-
land and France.
All of these except Switzerland will
compete in the l70-kilometer road race
on Aug. IL. Czecho- Slovakis, Norway
and Sweden have entered for the road
race, but not for the velodrome con.
test.
After much confusion due to cleo
trical errors, it has been finally an
nounced that the polo matches at Os-
tend will be PLAYED from July "a to
81. instead Of the dates in August.
(which were announced last week. The
American polo team includes Colonel
Nelson f. Margetts, Colonel John {.
Montgomery, Captain Terry Della NJ.
Allen and Captain Arthur Harris, regu-
lars, with Captain William w. West,
Captain X. c. GreenwaId,, Captain
Sloan Deak and Captain Harry n.
Chamberlain substitutes. All of them
are army officers who have recently
been PLAYING in France and Who are
now training with the American rifle
and equestrian teams at Coblenz.
Against the Americans will be the
Belgians. Spanish, French and British
teams, this being the first time in the
history of polo that five national teams
have engaged in a tournament.
Although the names of her partici :
pants have not vet been received,
America, according to the Olympic
committee, has also entered the arch
erv target events, which will be held
here from Aug. 3 TO Aug. 8. Only two
other nations, Holland and France, have
teams entered for this feature OF the
Olympic.

main events Of the meeting only a

ton of the executive committee and
one or two others, bodies charged with
arrangement for the Olympic games

emit, and now find themselves flooded
with work and in confusion.

WILL AID COAL
SHIPMENTS
Extension for 80 Days of
Distribution of Open
Top Cars
MINE OPERATORS
SEE A SOLUTION
New England's Coal Prob
lens Ought to Be
Helped Thereby

Washington, d. c., July l4.-Deci-
sion of the interstate commerce com.
mission to extend for 30 days its or
der giving preferential distribution
of open-top cars to coal mines east OF
the Mississippi was accepted to-day by
mine operators generally as a step that
would aid materially in solving the
coal transportation problem. The deci'
sion, which was announced late yester-
day, came too late for formal consider
alton by the conference of operators
who had held a two-day meeting here
to discuss methods of relieving a
threatened coal shortage in New Eng
land and the northwest this winter.
Individually, however, the operators
were well pleased.
In announcing extension Of the origi-
nal order, which would have expired
July 81, the commission advised Daniel
Willard of the advisory committee of
the Association of Railway Executives
of three amendments. The first provides
that the roads must place an en-
barge against consignees failing to un-
load open-top cars within "A hours aft.
ef delivery. The second provides that
railroads must assign cars without re-
gard to existing ratings for the mines
so as to provide fuel for current use
to public utilities and public institu-
tions. The third defines what types
of utilities are to be considered as coal
cars.
The commission also suggested to
Chairman Willard that the carriers
prohibit more than one re~consignment
of coal laden cars. No action toward
relieving the coal shortage in the
northwest was taken by the commits
sion, which stated that solution of this
problem had been left to the conference
in New York to-day of the operators
and railway officials.

pixies PEAK OR BUST
DULY CELEBRATED
Colorado People Observe Tooth Ami
versary of the Fist Climbing of
the Towering Mountain BY
DR.. Frank James.

Colorado Springs Colo, July l4.-One
hundred years ago to-day DR.. Frank
James astonished the world by climb
ing to the top of Pixies Peak, l4,l09
feet above the sea. Since that time
1000, 900 persons have made the trip
and, to-day, Colorado Springs is cele-
brating the anniversary with ceremo-
mics all along the lS-mile serpentine
automobile highway to the summit.
Lieutenant Zebulon NJ. Pike is cred.
tied with the discovery of the noun
tain in 1906. As hardy a pioneer as
was the discoverer, he declared the
peak was inaccessible and none dared
to doubt it until July Id, 1920, when
Doctor James, a member of the Major
Long expedition, succeeded in the at
tempt.
Major Long christened the mountain
James peak but the pioneers and
plainsmen persisted in giving it the
name of its discoverer and Pixies Peak
il has remained.
The history Of tourist travel to this
most famous spot of the Rockies has
been that of development of highway
transportation. First came a bride
path, in 1878; two years later a wag-
on road was built and in 1891 a cog
wheel railroad wal constructed.
With the development of the auto
mobile industry came the demand for a
motor road and in 1915 the present mo-
tor highway, winding around the
mountain in devious curves, with precz
ipitous rock walls flush against the
road on the one hand and deep ravines
on the other, was completed at a cost
of 100000. 1t has an average grade
of seven per cent and a maximum OF
l0X per cent. 1t was 20 feet wide ex-
cept at the curves which were extended
to so feet for the greater safety OF the
motorist.
Pixies Peak is eight miles in an air
line from Colorado Springs and the
greater part of the mountain is con-
trolled by Colorado Springs to safe.
guard the city's water supply.
Tn April, 1919, a government war
tank attempted to climb the peak but
was blocked by snow drifts. A month
later a caterpillar tractor made the as
cent.
Walking races, burro races, motor
eyele and automobile races have been
held on Pixies Peak. The first airplane
to cross the peak was flown over the
mountain on August 3, 1919, piloted
by Alexander Lendrum of Colorado
Springs. -
The record for motor over the IL
miles from Crystal Greek to the sum
NIT is held by Ralph milford, who
made it in Is minutes, 26 seconds.
Next September the automobile hill
climbing contest, discontinued during
the war, will be resumed. An airplane
race from Denver around Pixies Peak
and return will feature the event.

Billion Population Is Limit for U. S.

But the distribution is exceedingly

HEAVY DAYS PLAY.
In the National Clay Court Tennis
Tournament.

Chicago, July 1.-THE scheduling OF
81 early round doubles matches, and
the coming of the 1920 national turf
tennis champion, r. Lindlay Murray,
for the singles, assured a heavy days
play in the national clay court tourna-
ment at the South Side Tennis club
here to-day. In order to catch up with
his field in singles, Murray faced the
task of playing through three rounds
in the day to play. He is not entered
in the doubles.
Several fourth round singles matches
were scheduled to be resumed this aft
ernoon, after they were postponed in
the middle of play for a point by a

erts victor in one set, 60, and holder
of a margin of 81 in games for the

The victory of Vincent Richards OF

kept the l7-year-old Yonkers star in
the forefront of the tournament. He
won from Bates in straight sets, Ct,
6-2, after taking an early lead OF
40 and did not seem to put forth his
best tennis in the winning. One other
