SOPWITH WILL NOT CHALLENGE AGAIN
BITTER FEELING OVER
AMERICA'S CUP RACE
BRITAIN'S BAD LUCK IN FINAL STRUGGLE
NEWPORT, SEPT. 25.
"I DEFINITELY WILL NOT CHALLENGE AGAIN FOR THE AMERICA'S CUP," MR. T. O. M. SOPWITH DECLARES.
DEJECTED AND DISILLUSIONED, LIKE A MAN OVERWROUGHT, MR. SOPWITH, OWNER OF ENDEAVOUR AND CHALLENGER FOR THE America's cUP, NEVERTHELESS CHATTED FREELY TO BRITISH JOURNALISTS AFTER THE DISASTROUS SIXTH RACE TO-DAY. BY BAD LUCK ENDEAVOUR LOST THIS DECISIVE CONTEST BY THE BARE MARGIN OF FIFTY YARDS, AND RAINBOW THUS RETAINED THE TROPHY.
The Endeavour's designer, Mr. Nicholson, was so disgusted with the whole contest that he could scarcely contain himself. He says he is returning to England to-morrow aboard the Mauretania.
The British yachtsme'n declared that it was not only a question of both sides not agreeing over the inter- pretation of the rules, but the Americans' complete dia- regard of the rules.
