REGULAR AMERICA'S BRAVES ONE UP IN BASEBALL
CUP RACES UNDER
REVISED RULES?
By DEREK JOHN
London, Oct. 1.
The America's Cup races, revived after a lapse of 21 years, have thrilled the sporting world and it is now hoped that they will be held at re- gular intervals.
But, before that happens, I suggest the rules should be revised to elimi-
nate any special advantage to one contestant.
