Taggard of Boston Recently Purchased Boat to Save Her From Scrap Heap—Rumored N. Y. Y. C. Ma; Also Bid. Boston, Oct. 31.—Sir Thomas Lip- ton, four times challenger for the America’s cup, today expressed a de- sire to purchase the schooner yacht America, which brought the cup to this_country in 1851. In a cablegram to Hollis Burgess he said that he had just heard that the famous racer was for sale and asked to be informed im- mediately as to the price and other particulars. Mr. Burgess turned the message over to C. H. W. Foster and Henry A. Taggard, Boston yacHtsmen, who recently bought the America to save her from being broken up for junk. - T lembers of the New York Yacht Club, custodian of the America’s cup, also are said to be anxious to pur- chase the yacht, but the present own- ers have not announced whether they will sell. If the America remains on this side of the Atlantic, it is said, she will be used either as a yacht or as a marine museum. It is understood the plan of the New York men is to employ the vessel as a permanent committee boat for yacht races. Sir Thomas Lipton gave no indication as to what use he would make of the boat if he secured it but yachting men thought he might want the old racer for: a pleasure yacht when racing is resumed after the war. FRANCIS OUIMET DEFEATED IN BENEFIT MATCH Western Amateur Champ Was Paired With McNamara, a Professional. Newton, Mass., Pct. 31.—Francis Ouimet, western amateur golf cham- pion, paired with Frank McNamara, a professional, met defeat here today when Jesse Guilford, Massachusetts amateur champion, and Fred J.

The proceeds of the match will go toward_the athletic equipment fund at Camp Devens, where Ouimet and Mc- Namara are privates in the national Army, TREND OF MARKET DOWNWARD Losses Were Partly Retrieved in the Final Hour. New York, Oct. 31.—Another severe wave of liquidation swept over the stock market today, dragging the greater part of the list to lowest quo- tations since the inception of the long- existent downward movement. Keener realization of the Italian crisis, uneasiness as to the attitude of the neutral European nations and disappointment. at the showing of the United States Steel Corporation for the third quarter were the primary influences. which prompted the decline. Losses were partly retrieved in the final hour, when shippings and some of the rails rebounded vigorously. Categorical: denial by officials of the stock exchange of any intention to resort to minimum prices or other- wise restrict legitimate trading also served to restore a semblance of or- der. United States Steel was singled out at the beginning by the bears who argued that yesterday’s statement in- dicated a reaction in that industry. 1,000 to 9,000 shares down to its re- cent minimum of 99 1-8, but closed at 100 3-4, a loss of two points. Other equipments and more specific war is- sues rallied variably from extreme losses of 2 to 5 points. Weakness of rails constituted the most disconcerting feature of the mid- session, but Canadian Pacific came forward impressively with marines in the last hour and a few high priced specialties also registered full recov- eries. Sales amounted to 1,100,000 shares. - Virtually all international and do- mestic bond issues, including war flo- tations, were materially lower on lighter offerings. Liberty 4's were steady at par, but the 3 1-2's covered the wide range of 99.80 to 99.96. Total zales (par value) aggregated $4,750,- 00. United States bonds (old issues) were unchanged on call STOCKS. But &S B. F. Goodrich B. ¥. Goodrich Caltfornia acPk California Pet.

AMATEUR FOOTBALL CHAMPS SHOW THEIR PATRIOTISM Churchill Athletic clu-h of Holyoke Has 38 Out of 42 Members in Navy Boston, Oct. 31.—Almost the entire football squad of the Churchill Ath- letic Club of Holyoke has enlisted in the navy, it was announced at re- cruiting headquarters here today. Thirty-eight of the 42 members of the team, which holds flve cups emblem- atic_of the sectional championship in semi-professional football circles, al- ready have signed.

That the salarfes of major league baseball players will be reduced next season on account of the war condi- tions was intimated in a statement made by President Charles H.

By Peter P. Carney, Editor National Sports Syndicate. The annual meeting of the Inter- state Association for the Encourage- ment of Trapshooting will be held at the Hotel Astor, New York, November 3. This confab is of interest to the devotees of trapshooting, for at this time gelection of cities for the 1918 subsidiary handieaps and_the Grand American Trapshooting Tournament will be made. Officers, toc, will be chosen. The two years under T. E. Doremus has been the best in the nistory of the Interstate Association. More progress has been made, and even greater proz- ress will be made, if the association continues to follow along the lines that Mr. Doremus has steered it. Spokane and Los Angeles are hot after the Pacific Coast Handicap, and Omaha and Peoria are bidding for the Western Handicap. - Omaha is willing to take the Western Handicap every vear, for the business men of the city are interested in the sport and hack the tournament. Peoria has naver fizured much in a tournament way, but has a good club, and the business men of the city are behind the move- ment to bring the handicap there. Birmingham. Louisville and Balti- more are bidders for the Southern Handicap, and the Forest Hills Ciub, of New York: Wilmington, Del.; But- ler, Pa, and Baltimore are the hid- ders for the Bastern Handicap. Bal- “imore in making an effort to land either the Southern or Eastern Hand- icap places itself in a unique posi- jtion. The Oriole City is considered in the south in some sections; in the :east in others. The interstate offi- icers will decide where it should be placed. The South Shore Countrv Club, of Chicago, and the Toledo (Ohio) Gun clubs_are the onlv contenders for the Grand American Trapshooting tourna- ment. It is said the South Shore Club would be willing to take the tourna- ment for a number of vears. No het- ter place could be selected for the holding of the gigantic carnival. Battling Levinsky Outfights Zulu Kid. Montreal, Oct. 31.—Battling Levin- sky of New York outfought Zulu Kid of Brooklyn, N. Y., in every round of a ten round bout under the auspices of the Ganadian Hockey Club here to- night. On several occasions Levinsky bad his light heavyweight opponent staggering. SPORTING NOTES Frank Glick, former Princeton cap- tain, is in charge of athletics at Camp Upton. A race harse has been named after Heine Zim. Of course all the rail- birds will play him to finish second. Bill Rafter, who gained gridiron fame at Syracuse, is driving an auto for an American army officer “some- where in France. He tore off €0 yards a day on days he didn’t shirk; But never gained a bit of fame: he was a ribbon clerk. Tip to composing room: Keep stand- ; ing: Soldier Bartfield Meets Italian Joe Gans Again.

The local team still has a bad taste in its mouth from the game last year when they lost, 26 to The pupils in the Bulkeley school held a mass meeting Monday to stir up interest for the game Saturday. They were advised to practice .their yells when the football team held its g_ll'fllcdtice—ln the afternoons on Plant eld. “Spirit counts as much as a team's footiball knowledge,” asserts Frank Sommer, one-time star backfleld man at Penn. “The more I see of players the more I am convinced that if they are in the proper fighting mood they can do their work at least 90 per cent. better.” Our un-American football (team: Simendinger, lefL end; Nogstedt, left P MU LM MUY NN durabili ,.

The fixed purpose of the Maxwell builders was in the beginning, and is now, to produce a car which would be, in the highest sense, effi- cient, durable, economical, comfortable and standard in equipment. Many years experience in production on a vast scale has taught the Maxwell manufac- turers two things. ) One is that such a car as they have always made their aim—a car in which efficiency, , economy, comfort, beauty and their present prices. ) The other lesson is that, for more than $745, they could not give you an than the Maxwell now size or luxuries, pure and simple.
