CHALLENGERS 01 AMERICA'S COP LOSE 13 TIMES Sir Thomas Lipton Ready to Stage 11th Attempt at Gaining Trophy Editor's Note: Herewith is the second of a series of stories on the America's cup races.—U. P. By Morris De Haven Tracy UP. Staff Ccrreapondent Newport. R. 1., Sept 12—(UP> — Thirteen times since that day in 1851 when the schooner America won what is now the America's cup, the most coveted of all yachting trophies, yachts flying the flags of British owners have attempted unsuccessfully to wrest the cup from its American holders. This year Sir Thomas Lipton is making the fourteenth attempt’and the fifth that he himself has made. Twice Canada has sent challengers to American waters only to be tinned back by more fleet American defenders. Sir Thomas' Shamrock V is the twelfth challenger from the British Isles. Although the New York Yacht Cluli was given the America's cup n few years after Janies Stevens' yacht America won it and in 185" set it up as a perpetual challenge trophy for international racing, it was not until 1870 —nineteen years after the America won it —that it actually went into competition. in that year James Ashbury, son of a Manchester. England, family which had accumulated a fortune as wheelwrights, sought social prestige through sending his yacht the Cambria to New York in the first attempt to bring the cup back to England. The race was held off Sandy Hook, a single race, in which 14 American boats were enteral against the challenger. The yacht Magic won the nice and the Cambria finished a none too good tenth. But Ashbury was back again the following year with the Livonia. The yacht Columbia was selected as a defender and instead of one race, open to all, five races between the two boats were arranged. The Columbia won the first two handily but in the third was disabled and the race was awarded to the Livonia. The Sapho was substituted as the defender and it disposed of the challenger by a wide margin. Five years passed and then Canada sought to regain the cup for tlie honor of British seamenship. The Royal Canadian Yacht Club, sent ifs finest boat, the Countess of Dufferin, against the Yacht Madeline selected as defender. The series was to be two out of three races. On two successive August days the Madeline defeated the Countess of Dufferin, on the first day by 11 minutes and the second by nearly half an hour. In another five years Canada was back with another challenge, this time from the Bay of Quinte Yacht Club, Belleville, Ontario, which named the sloop Atalanta as bearer of its burgee. But the Atalanta fared worse than had the Countess of Dufferin. for the American yacht Mischief won the first race by 28 inmutes and the second by 38. Sir Richard Sutton of England cam® onto the scene in 1885 with the (Lnesta. a 90-foot cutter. The Pjnitan of Boston this time was the defender. The American boat won in two successive races but for the first time the defender was required to use all its speed, skill and canvas, the margin in the first race being 16 minutes in favor of the Puritan and in the second only 1 minutes 38 seconds. Interest was aroused in England once more and a year later Lieut. William Henn sent his cutter Galatea against the American yacht Mayflower. But again the defender took two straight races.

With Houston he won seven and lost two games. Kauf- , man at one time was with the Chij cago Cubs. England was back the following , year, however, this time with the • famous yacht Thistle, a cutter ' owned by E. B. Bell and flying the - colors of the Royal Clyde Yacht f Club. The Thistle had a big reputation. having shown great speed in 1 British races. All the skill of American designers was called into 1 play and the Volunteer was built as a defender. It was a steel sloop. Although the Thistle was well sailed the Volunteer proved supreme and, amid great enthusiasm, tool: L two straight races by margins of ’ 19 and 11 minutes. The defeat of the crack Thistle 1 cooled British Ardor until 1893 1 when the first of Lord Dunraven's - Valkyries came to challenge. That year saw the first of what was to • become a famous line of Herreshoff built boats, launched at the Bristol ■ shipyards of New England. It was 1 the Vigilant, specially constructed “ to defend the cup. The Vigilant I proved a great success turning ! back the challenger in three straight races by comfortable mar- ' gins. ‘ | Two years later the impetuous ’ Lord Dunraven was back again f with Valkyrie 111 and the Defender was sent against him.

racing pennant, raised that of the New York yacht club and withdrew from the race. There was great excitement. His Lordship was angry and accused the New York Yacht (Tub of fading to keep Its agreement to clear the course and protect him ugainst being forced into another foul. Lord Dunraven returned to England soon, never to challenge again and the series was written down as the only entirely disutisfactory one in the history of the competition. Four years passed and then came Sir Tliomas Upton who, since then, carried alone the banner of England in cup competition. In 1899 his first Shamrock fell before ! the Columbia in three straight j races. The best margin of vic- [ was disabled and it was awarded ! to the Columbia. Two years later Sir Thomas ■ brought over his second Shamrock. | It was in that series that the sea-j manship of Charles Barr, of a famous family in Massachusetts sailing masters, was all that stood between the Shamrock and victory. Barr Crowded sail onto the Columbia until it seemed she could hold . no more, and used all the skill and j | wilts of long years of sailing, to i 1 defeat the Shamrock in three I ■ races.

■;tory was only 3 minutes 35 seconds mid in the last race It was ( but 41 seconds. Sir Tlionias's Shamrock HI ar- . rived in 1903. and this time the Reliance replaced the Columbia us defender. The American boat took I two races by narrow margins and < In the third the Shamrock lost its i way In a fog and the Reliance was declared winner. Eleven years went by until 1914 when Sir Thomas challenged again 1 with tile Shamrock IV. Great pre|e ' arutions were made for the race 1 but when the Shamrock was IJ’OO miles out on its way to the United ; States word came to it by radio 1 I that Hie World war had started. It ’ ! was taken into Bermuda and thence ' to the United States and until 1920 rested in an hermetically sealed ' chamber at Hoboken, N. J. Then it was brought out and I placed in commission to carry the j Lipton colors against the Resolute. : It was to be a famous s ries and lone which saw the cup saved from 1 going abroad largely through the ; skill of Charles Francis Adams, j then sailing the Resolute and now J ; secretary of the navy. The Shamrock, sailed by William i iP. Burton, king of British ama- i I teurs, trailed in the first race until ’ near the finish line when the Keso- i

lute's throat halyards parted, her mailaall fluttered down, and she could not finish. Five days inter the yachts w.ent out again and again the Resolute tookTne lead. But the speed of the Shamrock and the skill of Burton I overcame troubles encountereil with the sails und the Shamrock overhauled the defender, finishing 10 piinutes ahead. Tlie third race was sail, d in exactly the same time by both boats, one of tlie most thrilling and actually tlie closest In the history of international cup competition. A seven-inlnut etime allowance which the Shamrock had to give tlie Resolute, however, gave the defender tlie victory. The fourtli was almost equally thrilling. Sailing a triangular ccutae off Sandy Hook, Resolute was leading by 2 minutes at tlie 10-mile marker but at the •nd of 20 miles the Shamrock had reduced this to 43 second.!. Adams brought tlie Resolute across the finish line, however more than 3 minutes ahead and, on corrected time won by 9 minutes 42 seconds. With the score standing two races apiece the fifth drew great numbers of boats carrying spectators to the course. Shamrock got away first over the route of 15

miles to windward and 15 to leeward. It was Adams' skill which caught a better breexe however, mid brought the Resolute to tlie in-mllt' mark four minutes ahead after having crossed the Shamrock und tacked on the weather bow. Running ahead of the wind oil homeward leg. Adams drove his ship until the lead was increased to 13 minutes 5 seconds and the most sei lons threat In th" histury of America's cup racing had brn n off.
