The fastest time ever made in a

she sailed twenty miles leeward and
windward forty miles in all in three
hours, one minute and thirty-three
seconds. 1t must not be inferred,
however, that the Columbia was the
fastest yacht that ever sailed for the
cup. There is no method OF de-
termining the relative speed of two
or more boats other than by the re-

and the challenger Sir Thomas s.
Lipton's Shamrock ". 1t 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
connection with this historic yacht
ing trophy.
To begin with the Americas cup
at first was not an International

canoe other than being a prize Of

for a race around the Isle of Wight.

nations. In August, 1851, the
schooner yacht America, owned by
Commodore John L. Stevens and
four other members of the New

and the cup became their property.

prize to the New York Yacht Club

known as the Americas cup. taking
Its name from the schooner yacht

The first race for the Americas

regular course of the New York
Yacht Club in New York's lower
bay. The challenging boat was

A youth once went to college
To accumulate some knowledge,
To study every ology and ism;
Aa arrived with ardor burning
To acquire classic learning,
And to delve into the secret of the
prism.
He thought he'd get, mayhap. a
Key from old Phi Beta Kappa
And make his parent proud about
his lore;
But, alasi the coach discovered
That a hundred yards he covered
Under 10 - and he never studied
more
He Just ran for alma mater,
You may call it bad luck, fate. or
Good fortune, as you happen 10
prefer:
still the fact remains our hero,
Though in studies just a zero,
Created quite an academic stir.
Time once was when the college
athletic didn't need text books. but
it is different now.
Professional college athletics has
gone into the discard.
Athletes now take as much pride
in piling up points in math and
psychology and the other ologies as
they do in scoing points for the
team.
It has resulted in better athletics,
better students, better everything.
Carl Johnson, the Michigan Uni
versity track star, is n Of the
best students at Ann Arbor. He's a
Phi Beta Kappa in the class room
as well as on the cinder path.
College men seem to have a little
edge on eighth-graders In baseball.
The major leagues r chuck full
of players who got their start on
college diamonds.
Some managers say they would
rather take a collegian direct to a
big league club and teach him the
game than have him toned off In the
bush organizations.
George Sisler of the Browns WAS a
Michigan man. There are scores of
others like him up there. That Is,
they are as near as any good baseball
player can be to a star.

Idler finishing second.
In all there have been twelve
contests for the cup, in the second
of which Mr.. Ashbury challenged
with the schooner Livonia and the
New York Yacht Club agreed to
defend the trophy with only one
boat in the race. The 1871 contest
was the best four out of seven
races. Lfvonia won a single race
owing to the steering gear of the
defender Columbia breaking down.
Only twice since that day, October
10, 1871, has a challenging yacht
crossed the finish line ahead of the
defending boat. On September 10,
1895, Valkyrie Ill, after following
the defender finished 1 minute and
16 seconds ahead of the American
boat and on October 4, 1901, Sham
rock II. finished two seconds ahead
Of Columbia but lost to the defend
err by virtue OF conceding ~ seconds
time allowance.
In the races of 1876. 1881, 1885,
1886 and 1887 the contests were de-
cided on the basis Of the best two
out of three races. From 1893 to
the last race in 1903 the agreement
was for the best three out Of five
races.
On only three occasions has one
of the competing yachts for the
Americas Cup failed to finish. In
the last race of the 1895 contest,
Valkyrie III withdrew Immediately
crossing the starting line. On
October IT, 1899, Shamrock lost
her topmast and withdrew in the
second race of that year and on
September 8, 1908, shamroc,r III
did not finish in the final race of
the series as she was already beaten
AMI had nothing to gain by con-
|tinu.ng.
Just once in the history of the
cup races has a competing yacht
been disqualified. This was in the
second race of the series of 1895,
when Lord Dunraven's Valkyrie III
was disqualified for fouling De-
fender.

second and third also were schoon-
ers. In all other contests however,
the yachts have been sloops or cut
ters.
The smallest challenger in the his
tory Of the cup RAGS was Atlanta,
which was built at Bellville, On
tario, Can, in 1881. She measured
sixty-four feet on the water line and
was the first sloop to appear in a
contest.
The first yacht yer built especial
ly to defend the trophy was Poca-
hontas. This was in 1881. Prior to
that year the New York Yacht Club
had selected from its feet the yacht
considered to be best suited for the
purpose. P~ocahontas did not come
up to expectations and was rejected
in favor of Mischief, n of the fin
est sloops of the feet. Since that
year, however. new defenders have
been built for every contest.
There were two candidates fol

WEINERT TO
Fight ROPER
AT NEWARK

By The Associated Press.
NEWARK, July 15.-The east will
be the e of fighters 1t would
seem. Captain Bob Roper, the man
who but last week gained the pop
ular verdict over Bob Martin, is on
his way here to participate in a bout
with one of the shiftiest heavy
weights in Jersey. Roper has ac-
cepted terms of matchmaker Harry
B~laufuss, of the Colosseum Open Air
Club, Newark, to box twelve ROUNDS
on next Tuesday night. Fight fans
readily realize what this means and
will sure flock to this now popular
open air club.
Roper's opponent will be Charlie
Weinert, the Newark Adonis. The
announcement made yesterday of
this match has caused the hstic
world to marvel, hat Roper would
be willing for his first affair in the
East to take on Weinert. 1t has a
two-fold meaning to the fans, first
he Is not afraid Of the clever Vein
ert, and secondly he Is willing to
meet them all in his attempt to
prove that he is one OF h real con-
tenders for a bout with the heavy
weight champion.
Weinert by a speedy win over Al
Roberts, the Staten Island knock
out king, has assumed an important
role in the heavyweight division. In
fact, the hstic world Is now clamor-
ing a real contender for heavy
weight honors and wants some one
to come along who a really give
Dempsey a worth while argument.
Roper, Is a powerful fighter n
has won many decisions in the west.
He comes heralded as a good boxer
and hard hitter, and his trial with
Weinert will go a great way toward
determining just what he has. Be-
sides this bout, Matchmaker Blau-
fuss has arranged for two other
heavyweight contests, n an eight
round and another at twelve rounds.
