Lipton Brought Cordial
Note, Sportsmanship Back
Into America's Cup Races

withdrew
fury from
the America s Cup races,
charging that cheating Yan
kees slipped out in the night
and changed the ballast weight
of his opponent, the Defender.
That was Sept. 12, 1895. It
marked the high point of ani
mosity and bitterness stirred
between American and Brit
ish amateur sailors over a
$500 trophy cup England has
been trying to get back for
107 years.
It took the Irish-born and
Scotland - raised Sir Thomas
Lipton to bring cordiality and
sportsmanship back in the
struggle for the America's
Cup symbol of world yacht
sailing supremacy.
But such is the fierceness of
competition that no one can
insure there will not be some
angry hassle when the British
sloop Sceptre and the Ameri
can 12-meter Columbia square
off Saturday in the first of a
best-four-of-seven races before
, 50,000 racing enthusiasts on
shore and off Newport Har
bor. Was Good Loser
Lipton gained great affec
tion because he lost every
match and did so gracefully.
He entered the Shamrocks I,
II, III, IV and V, in 18 sepa
rate races from 1899 to 1930
and won only two and no
matches.
The hearty old gentleman
always disavowed any public
ity motives but if ever a brew
was made famous it was the
one sold by "Sir Tea."
Lipton never married but
he always had an eye for a
eood-looking woman and it
was his delight to take ladies
aboard the Shamrocks to show
them the "kitchen." Yachting
men observed these were vir
tually the only occasions Lip
ton was seen aboard the sail
boats, preferring the luxury
ef his steam yacht, Erin, where
he hosted fabulous parties.
When Lipton got his last
setback, the late Will Rogers
suggested New Yorkers do
nate $1 apiece to buy him a
.cup. Within a week thousands
of dollars were on the desk of
Mayor Jimmy Walker and in
1930 a gold trophy was pre
sented to Sir Thomas at a
banquet.
"I will try again," Lipton
said in accepting it.
Rhubarbs Aplenty
But he never got the chance.
Lipton died the next year at
81 and he had no children to
send back a Shamrock VI.
Dunraven's angry w i t h
drawal in 1895 was the result
of what he thought were two
displays of unsportsmanlike
conduct. Dunraven claimed a
tender had gone out to the De
fender the night before the
first race and added ballast to
give the American boat more
sailing surface.
In the the second race, an
excursion steamer moved into
the paths of the two yachts at
the start. The racers swept
around the steamer- on oppo
site ends but in the jockeying
for new positions, Valkyrie II
ran into Defender and disa
bled her. Dunraven's boat
blithely went on its course
and the New York Yacht club
nromDtly disqualified Val
kyrie.
The third day, Dunraven's
boat crossed the starting lines,
then hauled down her sails
and quit the race summarily.
The earl went back to Eng
land where he fired off angry
blasts. The New York Yacht
club then expelled his lordship
from honorary membership.
Canada Tried
Canada is the only other na
tion that has challenged for
the cup twice and both times
unsuccessfully.
One of the more amusing
incidents came in 1881 when
Capt. Alexander Cuthbert
challenged with the Atalanta.
Cuthbert didn't get his boat
afloat in Lake Ontario until
September and he hadn't the
time to bring her out into the
Atlantic and down to New
York.
Instead he sailed to Oswe
go, N. Y., and put the Atalan
ta in the Erie canal where she
was towed by mules to Albany
and refloated in the Hudson
river. The New York yachts
men were horrified at the un
dignified spectacle and were
pleased to see Cuthbert sound
ly defeated.
British Navy Lieut. William
Henn brought over his Ga
latea on the next match. Mrs.
Henn came along with the sa
loon done up in womanly fash
ion and accompanied by sev
eral dogs and a monkey. The
strategy was of no avail.
An Inglorious End
The fate of the original
America was an inglorious
one.
Alter winning the .cup in
1851, beating 17 British
yachts, the America was sold
and subsequently became part
of the Confederate navy, run-

The fish aren't too large but
many of them skid into the

make a nice bend in any

time to catch these "early

THREE BAITS
There are three baits which
seem to do the trick. First and
the most fun when the fish is
on are flies. They hit royal
coachman, March Brown and
yellow body coachman with a
sprinkling taken on mosqui
tos and other brands. In case
you wind your own bait there
is a good producer -used by a
veteran on the river and most
every day he comes home
closely followed by a steel
head taken on this killer.
Here is the recipe. Use some

Steelhead
Fish Luck
Now Slow
(Portland (UPD The weekly
report of fishing , conditions
are prepared by the state
game commission by regions:
Southwest: Trout fishing is
fair on, the North Umpqua
river. Catfish angling at Ten
mile lake is very good. An
gling for silver salmon re
mains good at Winchester Bay.
Salmon angling at Coos Bay
bar is good for silvers. Coos
river striped bass angling is
slow and is fair between bay
bridges. i
Steelhead fishing has slack
ened in the Grants Pass to Ga
lice section of the Rogue river.
Only a few fish are being
taken in Squaw lake and
catches are intermittent at
Willow creek reservoir and
Fish lake. Salmon angling on
the lower Rogue is fair.
Central: The Deschutes riv
er in the Maupin area has
been producing good catches
of rainbow on worms and
eggs. Steelhead fishing on the
lower Deschutes has im
proved. The main Hood river
has been producing good
catches of small rainbow.
Frog lake has been stocked
with legal rainbow and is ex
pected to produce excellent
catches up to 14 inches in
length.
Wickiup reservoir is fair to
good on trolling flies or spin
ner and worms. Late evening
fly fishing is also fair to good
on trolling flies or spinner
and worms.
Good catches of large rain
bow have been taken at Crane"
reservoir on worms or spin
ner lures.
tail, brown floss body spiraled
with gold tinsel. The hackle is
brown and a white bucktail
completes the job. Our lucky
neighbor likes to tie his flies
on double hooks in size 10 or
8. This time of the year
pays, to use smaller flies than
a little later. Small hooks
have a tendency to come out
so the double hook in the
small size is a good bet.
WEIGHTED SPINNERS
A lot of these early fish
have been taken on Nips, Mo-
tos or what do you call yours!
These weighted spinners al
low the angler to cast and
sink a revolving spinner with
out the necessity of attaching
a chunk of lead. These spin
ners worked over the reef
rocks or at the tail end of the
slack water just before
breaks over the riffle can
produce some amazing re
suits. Brass or nickel and you
have a choice.

FULLBACK QUITS
Moscow, Idaho -(UPD- Hopes
for a successful grid season at
the University of Idaho went
reeling today after news that
senior fullback Dick Pickett
had quit the squad and that
quarterback Gary Farnsworth
was shelved by injuries for a
few weeks. Pickett, who re
turned to the squad after four
years in the Marine Corps,
said he needed to devote more
time to his studies. -
HOTSHOT FAVORED
A perennial favorite for the
boaters is the Hotshot. , This
little lure that looks more like
a pelican without wings than
anything I know of has filled
many a fish box with fish
Recently Bob Pritchard,
through to the coast river
guide fishing a party of tour-
isters, took six fish on the
"brake of dunn" with these
little 500 hotshots.
The hotshot is an ideal boat
lure for it floats and has a ter
rific action even when the
water is fairly slack. What the
fish think they are getting
when they grab a snoot-ful of
this little wiggler is anybody's
guess but it works and has
been working ever since it
was introduced some years
ago.
EIGHT-DOLLAR PRODUCES
The pigeons came in! Eight-
Dollar mountain has produced
some excellent shoots during
the past week and longer;
Having heard ' that the boys
were "into 'em" out there
took a short safari out that
way Friday morning and al
though I got there about 30
minutes late had no trouble
in limiting in an hour.
Eight-Dollar is peculiar in
one way. The birds are not
feeding there but use that side
hill for a pass from where
they are -roosting to where
breakfast is. Most of them are.
hungry and in a hurry so the
shooting is tricky and interest
ing. One thing is sure no mat
ter how high you climb or
where you pick to shoot
there will always be birds fly
farther up the mountain and
farther below you!
With a good flight of birds
in the area some of the other
pigeon-spots should be getting
good now. There is plenty of
grain and berries in many sec
tions of the two counties and
it won't take the birds long
to find them. I still maintain
that you can get more pigeons
if you use low base shells and
fine shot!
