(By T. S. Andrews.)
With the arransrements practically
completed between ;the -New York
Yacht club and Sir Thomas Xdptoft for
an International yacht race in 1914 for
possession or tne America cup, inter
est in the event is becoming univer
sal. I.t is just ten years . since the
Shamrock III., built by Sir Thomas
Upton, tried to lift the famous cup,
losing- to the Reliance, 'built by the
Iselln syndicate.
' ' Yachting will
benefit all over the
country from the
series of interna

SI the America cup,
which they lost In
11 1851, when the
yacht America,
S owned by G. L.
Schuyler, defeated
the British- yacht
A nmra. That is
nearly three-quarters of a century ago
and during that time only 13 races
have been held for the cup. The Earl
of 'Dunraven made several an-emv-
lift it, as did Sir- Thomas Lipton, and
the latter is still after it.
A record of the various races for the

SPORTOGRAPHY
- Bob Moha, the Milwaukee boxer
who has fought in all the divisions
from feather to heavyweight, will
celebrate his ; twenty-fourth birthday
today. Wild Bob is a native of Mil
waukee, and a majority of his battles
have been staged in the Wisconsin
metropolis, where be is a great favor
ite with the fans. He is one of the
most uncertain performers in; the ring,
now making a noise, like a champion
and. now fighting like a contender for
the cheese title. In recent battles he
outpointed Eddie McGoorty and took
the wind out of Johnny Thompson,
the Sycamore cyclone, only to .fall a
victim soon afterward to Jack Dillon,
the Hoosier middleweight.
Moha began his professional career
at the age of sixteen, when he de
feated a number of fairly good feath
erweights. Soon afterward he gradu
ated into the lightweight division, and
in 1911 entered the middleweight
ranks.- , He defeated Billy Papke.
Sailor Burke, Jim Smith and several
other middles, but was outpointed ,'by
Freddie Hicks in New York last year.
After that he went out of training for
a time, and went up to 190 pounds in
weight, .although he only stands five
feet four inches. Wild Bob will do
hia fighting in the light heavyweight
or commisslonweight division here
after, and hopes to become the cham
pion of that class.
Cyclone Johnny Thompson Is an
other young balloon who needs anti
fat treatment. He won his sobliJuet
as a lightweight, but, after going to
Australia, began to pick up weight,
and tipped the scales at 162 pounds
when he fought Hughle Mebegan
Just twenty-two pounds over the
weight he had agreed to make. John
ny is the same height as Moha, five
feet four, and about the best he can
do now is 175 pounds. The Cyclone
is getting well along In years, and will
be thirty-seven this month. ' ;
; The longest .baseball game, between
college teams was played at Hartford
six years ago today, when Wealeyan
and Trinity went nineteen inning to a
2 to 2 tie. '
TODAY IX PUGILISTIC ANNALS.
1905 Tommy "Burns, the Canadian
boxer, who was then a middleweight,
and Hugo Kelly, at that time a strong
contender for- the middleweight title,
fought a 10-round draw on this date
in Detroit The followiig month they
went to Los Angeles and scrapped 20
rounds, this bout also ending in a
draw decision. Kelly, j whose real
name is Ugo Michell, was a hard' man
to beat, and many of his battles end
ed in draws. In 1907 he fought a ter
rific 10-round draw with Papke in
Milwaukee, and the next year held
Papke even in fi5 rounds at Vernon,
Cal.
1889 Bob Moha born in. Milwau
kee. '
1911 Packey McFarland defeated
Phil Knight in 10 rounds at Cleveland.
