T.O.M. SOPWITH TO TRY ONCE AGAIN
EARLIER FIRST RACE DIFFICULTIES
A
NEW US. BOAT TO BE BUILT
(By George M. R. Holme)
New York, August 5. NNOUNCEMENT from Cowes, England, that the Royal Yacht Squadron has sent a chal- lenge to the New York Yacht Club for a series of faces for the America's Cup in 1937 does not come as any surprise. Ever since Thomas O. M. Sop- with had his new Class J yacht, the Endeavour II, built, it has been generally expected that he would send his second challenge for the famous trophy.
Then, after the New York Yacht Club indicated to Charles F. Fairey, Commodore of the Royal London Yacht Club, last year when he asked for a series of races with a boat of less rating than
Class J that it did not want to race for the most famous yacht- ing trophy of the world with any boat of lesser rating, it appear- ed even more certain that Sopwith would challenge.
There is one condition mentioned as a part of the new chal- lenge which may be questionable. It is the one that requests that the first race of the coming series be sailed on July 24. In the past the races for this trophy have been held in September or October; but next year the challenger wants to have the event
The danger of local tennis play- ers in risking their amateur standing will also be an import- ant matter in bringing Tilden and Vines bere. It is doubted whether the P.LLT.A. will be able to ob 100 PER CENT, RECORDS GO start about two months earlier. The question is as to whether On account of the exorbitanttain permission from the Inter cost of the Tilden and Vines visit national Lawn Tennis Federation local tennis moguls may not ap-in time to allow local stars prove of the offer.
