28 \Challenge for America’s Cup SPORTS.. DEFENSE OF THE TROPHY. ‘MEANS WASTE OF MONEY C ts Nearly Million Dollars to Build Craft for Race and Boat Then Is Useless—Windjammers No Longer Popular in United States. BY LAWRENCE PERRY. | EW YORK, April 6—Sir Thomas Lipton’s arrival in this country for 1 the reported purpose of clearing the ground for a challenge for the America’s cup serves chiefly to remind yatching enthusiasts of the decay of the sport of racing and sailing big windjammers in this country. There is a nautical strain in the American blood which will never be nated, and its effects are seen in the clouds of racing sailboats of the a ¢ inland la T classes that beautify the bays and rivers of the Atlantic Seaboard, s of the Middle West and Pacific Coast waters. But when it comes to the canvas propelled leviathans which used to dominate the regattas of the New York ceptions the largest sloops now are of 40-foot water- ¢ length, while schooners do not exceed 70 feet. And there are f(:\\'F story. With few ¢ W of these rhey wogld be dwarfed, were they ‘o be placed alongside the 60, 70 and 40 foot sloops and the schooners rang- ing from 80 to a 100 foot waterline which used to tower like churches on Atlantic Ocean and Long Island <ut Down the Size. t was given to the decline of | 1 se windjammer in 1920 when Sir Thomas Linton and the New York Yacht ( b cip cominittee agreed to ace with 70-foot sloops, instead of boats of the usually 90-foot waterline. 'he expense of building, outfitting nd manning the larger type of loops was given as the reason for the reduc- tion in size and It was because of this t the big racing and cruising sail had been disappearing long before the America’s cup season of 1920. Now there are no out and out sail- chts of more than 70 feet water- line le h afloat in either the cruis- or the racing classes. The older ation of racing vachtsmen has 1 out, and their places have been inadequately filled, thanks to the sutomobile and other landward diver- sions which were unknown when Sir Thomas first challenged in 1899.

F T had a boy in base ball I would teach him early to bat from cither side of the plate. It can be done, and it's a great advantage Lto a ball player, for then he is ef- fective against both right-handed and left-handed pitching. That is what we term “switch hitting.” Sometimes in a crucial moment of a ball game you'll see a manager stop the game and change pitchers, per- haps sending.in a left-hander against a right-hand batter. Then if you can step over to the other side of the plate and hit equally well you'll spoil his strategy and throw them up in the air. A left- anded hitter can hit just as hard as «a right-hander.

OVER DUMBARTON, 8-1 Taking all six singles matches and winning in two out of three doubles encounters, the visiting Yale tennis team yesterday put the Dumbarton Club netmen to rout at the Tidal Basin courts by a score of 8 to 1.

Georgetown 1s entertaining Syra- cuse, and Maryland is playing host to Lehigh in contests today that are booked for 2:30 o'clock. Catholic. University, which beat Yale yesterday, 6 to 4, will rest until tomorrow, when it will take on North Carolina at Brookland. Fordham visits Georgetown, and Pennsylvania appears at Maryland in other games tomorrow. Catholic University beat Yale by a thrilling ninth-inning rally that netted the Brooklanders all their runs. Up to that time Holabird of the Eli's had the better of a pitch- ing argument with Byrnes of the locals. One was out in the ninth when the Brooklanders began their rally. Garvin walked and Mayer doubled. Then Ignace scored Garvin with a hit, and two more runners crossed the plate when Smith, batting for Byrnes, got a long deuble. Doyle ran for Smith and the bases were loaded when Keale and Bailey both were passed. Adams then crashed out his third hit of the game to bring in the two needed tallles. - e In the Northwestern Church League Mount Pleasant garnered two from Petwo: ¢h.
