FUNDS TO BUY CUP
FOR Upton POUR IN
Contributions for Tribute to
"MoSt Cheerful Loser"
Swamp CuStodians.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
n JEW YORK, September 2O.-The
N American people have set out
to show Sir Thomas Upton
what they think of a good
loser, and today they had indicated
they would send him back to England
this time with a cup worth a whole
lot more, in monetary value at least.
than the trophy he had tried five times
in vain to win.
one mail alone brought into the
offlce of Mayor James j. Walker today
more than $3.50 toward the purchase
of "The Americans Cup" for Sir
Thomas in lieu of the Americas Cup,
which stays in the trophy room OF the
New York Yacht Club.
At the suggestion of VIII Rogers,
who started the whole thing Mayor
Walker accepted the job as custodian
Of a fund to be raised at 81 head
from Americans who admire the spirit
of the man who has been trying for
81 years to take back to England the
cup which the schooner America took
away from IA British defenders in
race around the Isle of Wight in 1851.
Tonight it looked as If Mayor Walker
would have to divide the country into
sections and appoint regional chair
men.
When the mayors once closed at
noon there still was a big stock OF
unopened letters, and in the office of
Barron c. Collier, whom he named as
treasurer of the fund, was another
pile. Contributions were arriving in
every mail too, at the offices OF several
New York newspapers. Nobody had
any idea yet how much had been re-
ceived.
Contributions had begun to arrive
from out of town. Two came from
Boston, one unsigned, and the other
from w. F. Baldwin of Nome, Alaska
who was there on business. There was
one from Charles Newbert, Baltimore
oyster man, and one from Charles
Zeller, jr., Chicago, who wrote
ITO the worlds most cheerful loser. !"

Athletics in the world series-and 1t

position.
The post season classic is always
largely a matter Of pitching and the
Cards have a fine, game pitching staff.
They have not only quality; but
quantity, left-handers and right
handlers, fast-ball pitchers, spitters and
slow-ball performers.
Gabby Street is a smart manager
and one always willing to take chance.
He plays to win and will gamble on any
fair percentage. Moreover, he has
smart, fighting, courageous ball club.
Frisch, Colbert and Adams are not the
only money" ball players on 1t. And
those men can field and they can hit.
The Athletics took command of the
situation in their league early enough
so that they have been able to coast
a little. The Cards have had tough
road and will come up to the series at
full speed.

share of the breaks, st. Louis will give
good account of itself.
Sometimes it is the things you do
Which hetp your team to struggle
through
And sometimes it is just IN knowing

THE left wing of Bob Grove is

player, but If you asked me whom
