Expresses Surprise When Gilmore Thinks Brown Will

NewYork Club Declines i Yacht Challenge. j

Win Fight' at Los Angeles

London, March 14. Sir Thomas Dpton, challenger for .the America s cup, expressed the greatest surprise when informed that the -New York Yacht club had declined his challenge because It did not comply with the conditions of the deed of Rift. Sir Thomas said there was little likelihood that he would modify his challenge or race with a ninety-footer. A definite decision will be delayed until the official notification reaches hi mthat his challenge has been rejected. "I wanted no favors and made what I considered a fair sporting offer. When I challenged six "years ago under the universal rule, my challenge was declined because It did not comply with the conditions of the deed of gift and legally the New York Yatcht club, had the right to do so. ?Jow when I challenge according to the deed of gift my challenge Is declined because I will not allow a ninety-foot yacht to race against my seventy-flve-footer." It Is understood that Charles C. Allom. the owner of the yacht Istria, Is a prospective challenger for the America's cup. Mr. Allom is at present in the United States.

RED SOX TAKE FAST WORKOUT Hot Springs, Ark.. March 14. Hill climbing and mountain scenery does not appeal to Stahl and his world's champion Red Sox as much so as their regular practice work, and even though Majestic park was anything but fit for a scrub game, J&ke and his players did some fast infield practice, and the pitchers were given an opportunity to warm up. Stahl expects Ray Collins to report tomorrow, and Collins will certainly have to buckle down to get himself In shape for-the exhibition series. Manager Friel of St. Paul is hare looking over the Pittsburg and Boston rookies.

I,os ' Angeles, 'Cal.i March 14. Surprising though it seems, "Bud" Anderson, the Vancouver lightweight, is a decided favorite in the' scheduled twenty-round battle with "Knockout" Brown at Vernon ' Saturday afternoon. Were the prevailing odds to Indicate the possible result,' we would now bid the little New Yorker a fond farewell. But the betting prtce seems false, indeed, with Brown on the short end at odds of 10 to 7. " ' Conceding Anderson a good chance to win, I do not think he has shown class enough to make him favorite

over the formidable easterner, and at

best the betting should be even money. Anderson, is chuck full of' enthu

siasm as the result of his easy victory over Sammy Trott of Cleveland a few

months ago. and the knockout of

Brown by Rivers has given him confi

dence. In addition the pride of Med-

ford has a lot of the horn folk here

who are backing him with this same

confidence.

Dougles. The' tall Georgian showed

some big league class for the first time.

He hurled for five rounds, shutting

out the ambitious locals, permitting

them only two base hits.

Phil got the ball over yesterday with

some stuff on it, and when he does that, he's a big leaguer. It was the

first time- this spring one could see

what terrific speed the "six foot four" boy possesses. If Phil can keep up

such a pace be is not going to be sent back to the minors. .
