(The New Tort Brentag World) Ss" THOMAS LIPTON, England's most enthusiastic yachtsman, ar- rived here to-day to race for the America’s Cup. That Sir Thomas is & most persistent contender can be guessed by the name of his chal- lenging yacht, Shamrock IV. The other Shamrocks, one after another, have sailed the Atlantic to, this side, under the face conditions that require the challemger for the cup to cross the ocean under its own sail and without being towed, and have failed to beat the American defenders. Shamrock IV. started across in 1914, the N. vat Y. Y¥. ©. having accepted Sir ‘Thowas’s challenge sent through the Royal Ulster Yacht Club.

Furthermore, the sizo of the incoming throngs has caused an abandonment of the newly instajled gone system on the town street cars. Yale is confident of coming out on top, but not after anything but the hardest of scraps. Brown's chances, of course, have been immeasurably by the return of Hoving, Brooks and Armstrong, while Yale enters the fray minus the services of Babe Allen, star right end. Allen's shoulder bruise is keeping him out of the game. He will be replaced by Robinson, who in jess than one week has jumped from the fourth to the firet ‘varsity.

By Bozeman Bulger. HERE was a lot of stalling in baseball yesterday. Magnates and managers, under a studied exterior of caim and unconcern, had their ears to the ground—or to the telephone—the greater part of the afternoon, Inquiries were coming from all see- tions for real paddock information. Nobody in New York pretended to know. Still rumors continued to run rampant concerning the possibility of a new league, a new war. There is nothing which so flusters a etub owner as thoughts of a baseball revo- lution in which he may face a loea and, according to reports from the West, most of the squeal was coming from that quarter Col. Jacob Ruppert and Harry Fra- zee, the only two American League mugnates in town, professed absolute ignorance of the rumored plan which hints at the withdrawal from the league of New York, Boston and Chi- cago, the three really rich clubs. “There is‘really nothing for me to* say,” said Col. Ruppert. “1 would pre- fer not to discuss it. Of course, I have heard the rumors, tut at present I can throw no light on it.” Now, listen.” said Mr. I*razee, good- naturedry, “I am not going to say “ word about this thing until I know more about it.” An attempt was made to reach CoL T. L. Huston at the Dover Hal: Hunting Club in Georgia, but the ef- fort was unsuccessful, In the mean time veteran baseball men are trying to find the men re- ported to be at the bottom of the movement. There are a number of financiers, well known to sporting writers, who have been anxious to get, in baseball for a long time, but whether they consider this their op- portunity is not known, Unfortunately a lot of imaginatiow has been added to the first rumor that set the town buzzing, but old dyed-in-the-wool baseball men are | beginning to belleve that where thero j4s 30 much smoke there must be some fire, ’ Arthur Irwin, the veteran scout, who is generally on the inside of an: baseball excitement, came myster{- ously into town yesterday eer ye but he solemnly avers that he had heard of the scheme until he read rumors in the papers. If some of the men who have been mentioned as possible backers of big league clubs should really join a new combination, it would be the most formidable sport organfsation in the world. So far rumor has mentioned the names of Price Mc- Kinney, Harry Sinclair, Commander Ross of Canada, Col. du Pont.and others.
