DECIDING YACHT RACE
 OF CUP SERIES TO BE
 RUN THIS AFTERNOON

sandy Hook, N. IL, July 2J.- hesolute and Shamrock IN took
 NaH-stretching spins this after
 noon in the horseshoe preparatory
 TOT what promises to he the NfinnI
 race for the America's cup tomor- row. The American yacht bent on
 brand new mainsaiI and after it
 was hoisted set an outer jib and
 went for fventy-minute sail in the bay. nice ciGht-knot breeze
 was blowing from thc northwest. which would have been an ideal day
 for. the racing machines.
 shamrock lN got under way late this afternoon and worked in and about the horseshoe for some time Once at the moorings the mairsails of the two racers were put under covers and the crews were permitted to rest for to- morrow's race, which is to be fought over course fifteen miles to wind wa1d or leeward and return.
 FEEL CRITICISM
 The shippers of the two racers are said to feel the criticism caused by the postponement of the contest yesterday account of too much wind.
 It was pointed out that every knot of breeze above fifteen is of no ad- vantage of the sloops since they obtain their maximum speed within that amount of wind and that. as the wind increases above certain point, it is necessary to shorten sail It was said on the tender Montauk today that the wind was about twenty five miles an hour off the lightship when the racers reached the starting line yesterday. Rather than risk an accident with pos sible loss of life and injury it was decided to assent to the poStponem of the race.
 UPTON CONFIDENT
 Sir Thomas Upton still reels con- fident the Shamrock will lift the cup ard prefers not ca talk nbont
 the possibility of another chaI- IemEe until it l.; determined whether the Shamrock will he successful not.
 Indications tonight were for a light southwester1y breeze which would give the yachts beat to windward fifteen miles down the Jersey coast with a run home.
 It was learned tonight that Capt. Andrew J. Applegate, the Sea Bright fisherman, who was engaged by Sir Thomas Lipton to sail on the Sham rock and assist Captain Burton with his knowledge of local tide and wind con. ditions, will be aboard the challengef again tomorrow. Captain Applegate did not sail on the Shamrock yester- day when she went to the starting line and it was generally reported that the Sea Bright sailor had some differences with Skipper Burton as to the course sailed in Fridays contest.
 Moderate northwest and north winds, with fair weather, was the weather bu- reau's forecast tonight for the race tomorrow.

Americans Beaten By Spanish Team
 In Polo Contest
RY Assnciated Press

Osten, Belgium. July 25.-In the Olympic polo games today the Spanish team defeated the Americans by a score of 13 to 3.
 The American team was outridden and outplayed by the Spaniards, who were much better mounted. It was a case of the ordinary army horses against thoroughly trained polo ponies.
 The defeat of the Americans elimi- mates them from a chance of winning first place in the tourney. Under the elimination system, however, they still have chance to win second place.
 The game was a clean one and almost free from accident
 Capt. Arthur Harrie of the American team was the victim of spill in the last period which laid him out for a few minutes.
