This action Taken Because Challenge of Sir Thomas Lipton Does Not Comply ‘With Deed of Gift. New York, March 12—Sir Thomas Lipton's challenge for another race for the America’s cup, the trophy of the yachting world, was de- clined by the New York Yacht club This action was taken, the club announced, because the challenge did not_comply with conditions of the tonight. deed of gift, which governs all con- tests for the cup. The declination of the present chal- lenge, however, it was stated by mem- bers, did not necessarily mean that no America’s cup race was in prospeoct, as the club was {n anticipation of an cup from a British gentleman other than unrestricted challenge for the Bir Thomas Lipton. The club’s only officlal statement reluted to the reason for the declina- tion of the Lipton challenge, which was forwarded by the Royal Ulster club for Sir Thomas. Objected to 75-Foot Lim “The New York Yacht club has de- clined this challenge because it im- poses as a condition that the defend- ing vessel shall not exceed 75 feet length on the water line, and thereby deprives the defending club of the right given it by the deed of gift to select a vessel of such size as it pleases ,provided she be not less than 65 nor more than 90 feet on the wa- ter line. The club’s action tonight was taken at a meeting attended by more than 800 members. Only boat owners wers entitled to vote on the question of the challenge, all were against acceptance, fusal was a repetition of the The re- action upon the Lipton challenge in 1907, which Itkewlse stipulated for craft under the 90 foot mark as chal- lenger and defender, Sent Thres Shamrosks Here, Bir Thomas sent the three Bham- roeks o ihis side of the water In a vain quest of the cup against ninety foot defenders and has contended thet a yacht of the ninety foet type ean: not be consiructed on ana brought acros: crew without a suerifics of some of her racing qualitles to the strength of constraction necessary for an ocean voyage. s The challenge stipulated the same regulations “as governed the last con- test (in 1903) and which proved to be o gatisfactory, namely, the best three out of five races over the same courses with like starts and other details.” The dates picked were September 10, September 12 and September 15, 1914, with further races, to-be sailed on each following Thursday, Saturday and Tuesday, until fimshed.

Call money rose to six per cent., the highest rate since the first of the year. For time money 5 per cent. was offered for all maturitics but even these bids falled to bring out lerge offerings. The money market was influenced by exports of gold and the expectation of & or ha | ment on Baturdey.

Prospects of further extensive gold exports were lessened by a pronounced slump in foreign ex- change rates.

Caldwell-Welser, game of ‘which Walter Johnson was in the box for Welser, are nailed on the *dope” board at e's cigar store in Walla Wall: ‘Wash.,, and they recall the great battle when Walter Johnson had the first run scored off of him after 87 successive innings. The contest was one of the test ever played om a diamond in Idaho. Johnson d been winnlng everything down at Weiser, and he had allowed so few kits and mowed down so many that he was be- ginning to attract attention over the country and Spokane of the Northwest league was after him hot and heavy. Not a run had been scored on John- son in the. previous 76 innings, and in order to beat Weiser the Caldwell sports imported six players from the Northwest league. Omne of them was Higgenbotham, who had made an en- viable record with Aberdeen that year and who was regarded as the greatest twirler in the Northwest. Spec Hark- ness, now with the Portland coast leaguers, was also in the game and played at first for Weiser. The game was played at Caldwell and attracted people from all over the state. Special trains were run from Huntington and Boise, and between 6,000 and 7,000 people crowded into the fleld. One of the spectators was Cliff Blankenship, Washington _backstop, who had been sent out to Weiser to land Johnson. Blankenship been in Weiser for a week, but no oné knew who he was, and he watched the fa- mous game from the bench. Johnson had been tipped off to the Washing- ton club by an Idaho mining man, and ag Blankenship was lald off with a bed leg, he was sent out as a scout with orders to bring Johnsog back. The contest was a pitchers’' battle from the start, and with both twirlers getting gilt-edged support, not a run had been pushed over the plate the end of the nipth. This made Joknson's 85th consecutive inning without a run against him. Neither team scored in the 10th and Weiser was blanked in the first haif of the 11th. Johnson had allowed but two hits and had struck | out 19 men, while Higgenbotham bad alloweq Weiser three hits and had Whiffed the same number of batters. After two were down s’ Caldwell mgn Bot to first on an error and sole Béo- ond. A moment later he was an third whep ‘@ pitched ball got throygh the catcher's hands. There is no® telling how many innings Johnson weuld have sono without being scored upon had not the next batter got a fluke hit through the infleld and the runner scored from third. The game onded 1to 0 in Caldwell's favor. The next week Blankenship toolk Johnson to Washington and Higgen- botham was bought hy the Chicago Nationals. Johnson lost his first game and wrote back to Welser that if he had Had his old team behind him he could have won easily, The sports In Weiser had the details of every contest he pitched that fall wired west after the game. NOBODY STEALS ON O’BRIEN. Owner Whalen Also Secures Pitchers Doody and Basson and Outfielder Muller. Z Owner T. J. Whalen of the Holyoke baseball club has rounded up four more members for his upriver squad. Boss Whalen is on the alert for promising talent and is being alded by wise ones in various parts who have a straight line on the men under suspicion. John J. O'Brien, a much-talked-about catcher, has been taken in _tow. O'Brien is a pretty good name for a ball player, but up Schenectady way it ;means everything. This is because of the remarkable demonstrations giv- en by John J. Schenectady fans used to go to games just to see Jay Jay catch. Wolfgang of the White Sox pitching staff is one of the many Prominent ballists who have stopped to\ marvel at the rising young star. ‘Walter Ahearn, the efficient backstop of the Holyoke club last season, tip- ped off Boss Whalen to O’Brien. In a game last year with the General Electrics and the All-Stars of the New York state league, O'Brien nipped John F. Duffy of the Troy team three times ving to steal. This is an accompliish- ment, for Duffy is a slippery man on the bases. They describe O'Brien | as a_well built youngster of 20 vears, his 170 pounds being stretched over considerable valuable territory, and they say he has “an arm of steel” Eimira, Syracuse and others algo ran the hunt for this bird. O'Brien’s father was quite a player in his day. Outfleldor Norman Muller has been booked up by Boss Whalen, Roches- ter players say Muller is a comer, for they like his batting form as woll as hig fielding. S. C. Basson, a right- handed pitcher from Irvinaton, N, J., Manser of the Newarik elub, Bassen is & right-hander, with plenty of smoke it in well-informed eir- cles today, Then there is Thomas Doody, anether right-handed pitcher. | Thomas hails from Hartford, He has had plenty of exparience With inde- pendent clubs in Cenmectieut, and the semipras ars happy now that e is eut | of their way, Hitters on the other teams always slump when they go | yp against Doedy, Deedy pitched for Ossining, N, Y, lasi year.
