When the three yachts wore launched, the New York Yacht Club arranged for i series of races that b?g:'n in early Jjne of 1914 and continued until the .?r.d of August. Midway in th3 series it na discovered that Defiance was a fail? ure and the yacht was withdrawti. lt left Vanitie and Rcsoiute to fight it out for the honor of dsfending the trophy. Re olute Has Advan'age The serie? was brousrht to a sudden eni when -h~ V.'or'.d War started in August. 1914. At that timo Rcsoiute ir.d a de?:d-^d advantage ov;r Vanitie.

Th? mainstays. however, are Captain Mayer, win er 3f the 440 and 880 yard runs at Cam riage; Walker Smiih winner of both mrdle racss: Jack Watt, who ?ot sec? ond ir. botii hurdles, and T. C.

Pittsburgh Approves Eastern Conference PITTSBURGH, Jan. 10?The recent action at the National Collegiate A. A. meeting in New York,' recommending the formation of a conference to con? trol athletics in the East similar to the Western conference, meets with ^he approval o t e University oi Pitts? burgh authorities, w. o have long hoped fi.r such an org?iniasation. Pitt has had the one-year residence rule in effect for four years and its other elig'ibility restrictions are on a par with those of tho We tern confer? ence. Only two other instit'itions in the State of I'ennsylvania have thU rule, however, they being University of Pennsylvania and Pennsylvania State Coliage. The general opinion here is that i?vich an organization would be a good thing for Eastern uth.eiics, and ospecially football. ? ? . ? 0 Cochrane Orders Vanilie To Be Fitted for Trial BRTSTOL R !., Jan. 10.?

This is quitc an order. The on'y way to get around it is to name several and let the bystander make hi3 own selec tion. Platt's Recovery There is the case of Wood Platt's stand against Frar.cis Ouimet at the first extra hole. Neither Ouimet nor Platt had plaveil vtry go,d golf until they came to the extra hole test, where the li istoti star appeared to be on the verge of a tri umph. This first hole at Oakmont is 170 yards in length. Tho two ttood on the first tee after a long, hard thirty-six hole grind, with the rain beginning to flood the course. Ouimet, who had rallied for his last stand. laced out a mighty drive, and then dropped his secon-l on the green within twelve feet of tho cup, a great achievement under th" end t ons had a twelve-foot putt for a :; on a par 5 hol<\ It would be hard to ask for finer play. Platt, after a fair drive. was thirty yards short of the green on his second shot. He had a down-<;lTping green t-> p'rch to, with a rivulet of water rambiing be? tween his '->a 1 f?<" I ihe r p i' ; -H to be an impossible attempt under the conditions. He seemed to be beaten t > a certaintv. But the youngrter .>tepred up, played a low-cut shot boldly t> the preen and the ball stopped within four inches of the cup. He had to piay thh stroke with proper firmness and control to keep it near th? cup, and the re:,ult was fully deferved. Ouimet we'nt for his 3, but missed and lost on the next hoic. Hagen's Mastcrpiece Few who saw it will ever forjre' Wa'ter Hagen's mastcrpiece in thi opm when he came to the last hole a, Braeburn. Hagen here necded a par to tie Mike Brady and a 3 to stand as open cham? pion. This cighteenth hole is '100 yards in lcr.gth, a drive and a gjod i:on wi'.h the course still soft. After a fine drive between two long lanes of gol? follower-, numberm manv thousands, Hazen studied his second shot. 'ihe pin was placod at t'e back o" the creen. only a few feet fr.m a s'.one wa'l brrdering ihe rourse. To play safe and short meant no chai.ee ur a 3.

The mere f ict li at he laid a full iron ! within ten feet of the cup is one t! ing. But with all the attendant c'rcum tarcs considered there were few tiner at.empts made all year. Ouimct's Brassie Francis Ouimct has a.ways been n great brass1'.' p'ayer. In that sai \ tournament in his first round he con-? tributed a mastsrpiece to the records.: With a big <raller at his he Is he ha.i g ne out in 35. The tenth hole at . raeburn is around 500 ynrds in length. it cost Mikc Brady two Cs on his last two rounds. After a fine drive Ouimet went straight for the pin. He put every-. thing he had into a terrific willop al th iu ,ii he himself hard'}- expected to reach the green, over 250 yards away, trappcd on every side When he iame up to his bail he was onl two feet. fr m the cup, deaJ for a '.', beating par by two stroi.es. Later on at Shennecosset we saw him twici iii succssion play brassie shots i more than 230 yards away to within two feet of the rvp. When it corr.es to wood throu";h the fairwry he h s few oqua's. Stran^cly cnou^h he serms to use his brassie from n close le better than his driver or brassie otF the tee. One for Evana C'-ick Evans played one rare shot in tho open that aimost escaped comment. Yet it was a murvcL C< ming to the seveitcnth greeh, a mattcr o" -40 yards, Evans had s'.iced is tee shot to the right cf the trip uarding the green. T e bail wa3 lying ad y on'y two teps fr.:m the pit. Tho flag was just beyend the pit, only two o- t''-ree yard3 from trouble. Furt' er back the s' ot would have oeen much easier. But any one who has played gof knows what it meana 'o get the bail close where the flag is aroly beyond a trop. Yet Evans, from .' e cuppy lie pitched to within a foot :>r the cup, where t e backspin he d the bail dcad. Applying backspin on a -hort pitc'i of this type, les-, than fifteen yards, is a trick that isn't often .urncd. Selecting any one shot as t^e great est'of the year Is a bit too bu'ky an order. Con:iitions enter irto the mat er as much as the actua' r. i-ae'e that occurred. Some rare 1 appening played withcut any particulrr pressurn is no: to be comparcd with a less spectacular sturt that migiit decide a champion? ship. f">ne mig' t inc'ude the shot p ayetl by Al Mendez, of Siwanoy, wiere i n the twelfth green or near it in th" Me'.ropoli'an championship he found Is bail within eight inehes of a stone foundation.

England Is Unable to Present Strongest Array for Olympic; Britieh Think Committee Erred in De.?iding to Hold Antwerp Classic This Year In the alver.ee of a d-jfinito statement from the Br.itish Oiympic Council on tha subject of preparation for the O ym pic games at Antwerp this y.?ar. ::n Eng li h writer hi3 ebtained the opinions of three dist.net personalities on athletics generaliy nnd the O'ympio g-tmes in par t cular. Those three are Lieutenant Coionel Arno'd N. S, J-.ckjon, an Eng ii h ofli ? r and well-known athlete; S r geant Linton Hewitt, a so dier, who prior to the war had done much for a h etics in Australia and Charles B. Co hran, the English promoter, who conducted Ihe Joo Bsckett-Georgea Car? pentier bout last rnonth. All three believe. he sa. s, that the international O'ympic committee made a gritt mistake in d.-ciding to ho'.d gimes this yoar, and th it it will be impo:sib!e to reorganize the sport in suffi.-ient mc.sure to enable Great Britain to bs ad quately represented at Antwerp. In ordar to save the Bri'i-h prestige from njury is sustained at Stockhoim it will be nocess3ry to spare no effort in securing the best possible team and m-ke a united attempt to improve the Br'tish athletic standing. Wi h this object in view he writes: "All three agree that up to now the attempts at organizing O'.ympic teams ? a ai ur? and that to get the b?st of our goods on show at Ant? werp next year we must strike out on fresh iin ?s. A'so there is a g?ner il idaa that instead of leaving the organ? izing ?;d3, and especially tho financial end of it, in the handt of a scrateh collect'on, we should call in the best brains of the r. ition. the bsst bi'iness rmn, to assist in devising a sound plan of campaign, one on which we can .. r y for the 190 games but for the future. "It is generaliy agreed that the very f;r.->t thing needful to he organi z:t'.on of an efficient O.ympic team for Antwerp is money, and plcnty of it.
