There was little sea running today
when the single, stickers prepared to
make sail and, with the fresh \vind
blowing steadily from over the Staten

fully forward to a quick run race
around the triangle. Vanitle and De

that swung at anchor in the Horse

Hoadsalls were in stops whoa the
yachts left their mooring in the Horse-
shoe. Resolute was towed out around
Sandy Hook Point. The regatta com-
mittee boat steatlled alongside the De
dance at 9:05 a. m.. and a minute later
sent out a wireless message stating
that it had been decided tllnt Dc.
fiance would not race today.

At this Defiance had her malusnll

up in stays. There was no reason
given by the wirelessxwhy' tho Defi-
ance had .at the last moment. decid-
ed not to enter today's contest, but
later it was understood the Defiance
was still having trouble with her rig-
ging and ill no condition to engage
ill a smashing thirty-mile contest.

The committee boat left for the
the starting line at 9: 10, to lay out the
sailing course for the race. Vanitie
sailed otlt to the Ambrose Light ves-
sel in order, as \Captain Dennis said,
to give her salls‘ a bit of stretching
before race time,

There was a bit more west in the
wind at 9:15 and the wind gauge var-
ied between 12 to 15 knots in strength.
, v’l‘he view from the New Jersey shore
was obscured by a haze that lay over
the waters.

TROON‘, Scotland, June ~l’lay
opened here today for the qualifying
rounds of the British open goll cham-
pionship. The entries totalled 193,
and among them were Francis Ouiulet,
American open champion, Woodland
Golf Club, Mass; John J. Mcliernlott,
former American open champion. At-

lantic City. X. J.. and llarold Weber.

'l‘oledo.

The British contingent included sev-
eral champions and former chant-
plL‘lis. both amateur and professional,
including liarry \‘ardon. Edward ltay.
James ‘Braid, George Duncan and J. l..
i‘. Jlrllks. while the French players are
lepreSellted by Arnaud Mossy. Jean
Gasslat and others. The arrange-
ment for the qualifying matches is
that all competitors play two rounds
of eighteen holes each. one of the
rounds on the old 'i‘roon course and
municipal
course, botll of them lying along the
seashore.

The one hundred players returning
the best scores in the qualifying
rounds are to play on June 18 and 19
in the championship itself, which will
take place at i’restwick, a contiguous
course on the Ayrshire coast. in the
champiot’lshlp 72 holes are to be play-
ed in four rounds of 18 holes each.
Ouimet was one of the early starters.
and the play of the young American,
who recently won the French amateur
championship. was followed by a large
gallery. 'He did the first nine holes
in 40 strokes and completed the round
in 77.

On the outward journey ()ullnet con-
tinually pulled his tec shots. On the
way home, however. he showed mark-
ed improlement in his driving. but he
missed several putts and“ his pitching
was indifferent.

With his score of 77 Ouimet's posh
lion in the competition thus far is
quite satisfactory, as_tho leading score
on the municipal course over which
he played the morning round, was up
till two o’clock, this afternoon. the 'lb
of ii. Gaudln. while the leading score
on the No. l. or old course. was 73, by
Harry Vurdon.

John Henry Taylor, holder of the
British open championship, this after-
noon played 'H. Gaudin for loading
place in the scores over the municipal
course. WIIICII‘Ile completed in a splen-

ENGLAND, FRANCE AND U. s.
WANT OLYMPIC BOXING

With the meeting of delegates repre
senting all the principal amateur ath-
letic associations of Europe and Amer-
ica ill Lyons, France, yesterday, and
the subsequent session of the Olympic
Congress in Paris. many matters of
great importance to the sporting world
are on the verge of settlement. The
International Amateur Athletic Feder-
ation’s conference will be attended by
a number of prominent athletic oili-
cials from “tissue of the Big Drink,
and the Olympic Congress. opening at
Paris next Saturday. will also find
America well represented.

Not the least of the questions to be
taken up by the Olympic Congress
will be the inclusion of boxing in the
next Olympics at Berlin. The flstic
flame has long been a bone of conten-
tion in Olympic circles. but everything
indicates that it is now to come into
its own. The proposal to include box-
ing ill the Berlin program will be made
by the American delegation. but it will
have. the. staunch backing of the Ania.
tellr Boxing Association of England.
the French Amateur Boxing club. With
these three powerful nations back of
the movement, it seems assured of suc-
cess. although there may be some on
position from Germany and Sweden.
Boxing has never becdlne popular in
those countries, but there is no rea-
son why the Germans and Swedes
should not develop some clel er boxers
