But with Sir Thomas's challenge yesterday it was different. It echoed throughout the world. It caused sur- prige and glee among yachtsmen and aroused all other sportsmen, For generations the contest for the America’s Cup has been at the top of ali sporting events, Yaohting is not @ poor man's sport much as base- Dall or @ dozen other sports, but it ta an excellent and high-class sport and one in which ali red blooded Americans take interest, especially when the coveted trophy ts at staka TR THOMAS has proven himeelf ® thorough sportsman, and [Femmes BEST SPORTING PAGE AND THEN SOME WILLARD GETS & DECISION OVER JACK CURLEY IN THE FIRST ROUND THE EVENING WORLD, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1918, - ~ - Copyright, 1918, by the Press Publishing Co.
