[4 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tucsdey, September, 11, 1962 NOT ALWAYS SO 6 The America's Cup Now True Sporting Event NEWPORT, R.I. (CP)--Prep- "grations for the 18th defence of the America's Cup -- the first 'against Australia -- are being "made in an atmosphere of sportsmanship that would have been considered la-de-da by some contenders of the past. "The handlers of Australia's Gretel, to be sure, are conduct- ihg their affairs with a certain circumspection as they get ready for the classic that had its origin in 1851 and has seen 18 competitions. The U.S. has never lost. The new match be- gins Sept. 15. -- °* But so gentlemanly are the "proceedings now that sails for ~ SPORTS BRIEFS DUPAS FAVORED LONDON (AP)--Ralph Dupas 'of the United States was rated a -l favorite Monday to defeat Britain's Brian Curvis tonight fn a fight that could earn the winner a chance at the world welterweight championship. Du-} pas, of New Orleans, has won bs of his 114 eee. Curvis has Tost once in 5 fights. ANNOUNCES FIGHT NEW YORK (AP) -- Welter- weight champion Emile Griffith "of New York will meet Mick Leahy of Coventry, England, in a non-title 1@rounder at Mad- ison Square Garden Oct. 6, - matchmaker Teddy Brenner said Monday. Leahy dropped a close eight-round decision to Briton Wally Swift in Man- chester, England, Monday night. HAS OPERATION PHILADELPHIA (AP)--Tony Gonzalez, Philadelphia Phillies outfielder, was operated on Monday for an arthritic condi- tion of his back. The surgery was described as successful. An arthoiedic specialist who per- formed the operation, said the both the challenging Gretel and the..U.S, defending craft, the Weatherly, are being supplied by the same sail-maker, Ted Hood of Marblehead, Mass. And Hood is none other than the skipper of the Nefertiti, @- feated by the Weatherly in pre- liminary competition to provide a U.S, opponent for Gretel. All this indicates a devotion to fair play that was lacking in 1870 when the first challenge for the America's' Cup was made by English yachtsman James Ashbury. NUMEROUS RIVALS Ashbury was inveigled into accepting the defending New York Yacht Club's terms, which involved taking on 23 U.S. ves- sels on a 40-mile course that in- cluded narrow waters where the Englishman's boat, the Cambria, was badgered by her numerous rivals. The Americans argued that it was fair enough for Cambria to race a number of defenders-- rather than one--because, after all, the schooner America in 1851 had started the whole thing by going to Britain and beating 15 of the best there in a 53-mile race around the Isle of Wight. Records of the day ndicate, however, that while all the ves- gels in the Isle of Wight race were trying to win, all.the American yachts in 1870 were out simply to ensure defeat of the Cambria -- and the New York schooner Magic scored an unmagical win. Cambria fin- ished 10th. Ashbury, especially, regarded the whole thing as unsporting and convinced the Americans they shouldn't use a whole fleet against him for his next challenge, in 1871. But the Americans came up jwith a string of four yachts-- each suitable for certain wea- ther conditions -- against his new vessel, the Livonia, and al- though he claimd victory th 24-year-old Cuban will remain in the hospital three weeks. Amricans wouldn't giv him th cup. After this fiasco, nothing hap. pened until 1876 when Canada entered the fray, perhaps achieving something for Ameri- can honesty rather than doing anything for: its prestige as a yachting country. The Royal Canadian Yacht Club of Toronto extracted from the New York Yacht Club a pledge that the cup would be defended by one boat--and only one boat. That one boat was enough--the American 106-foot schooner Madeleine defeated the 107o0ot Toronto schooner Countess of Dufferin easily in 'wo of three races. Canada's second and only other challenge came in 1881 when the Bay of Quinte Yacht Club, Lake Ontario, entered the 70-foot sloop Atlanta, and was defeated by the 67-foot sloop Mischief. An outcome of this was that rules of the race were changed to read that only a club having an ocean water regatta course could challenge with a vessel that must arrive under sail on her own bottom. Old rules remained in force until 1956 when the Supreme Court of New York State ap- proved an application that yachts of only 44-foot waterline length could compete and that the challenger need no longer proceed to the fray on her own bottom. The Gretel, of course, came to the U.S. by freighter. LONG GAPS There have been long gaps in America's Cup competition and it was obvious--even before the Second World War -- that the supply of millionaires willing to lavish treasure on challenges for the cup was drying up. Tie contest was moribund until the 1956 decision when the New York rule - change opened tie way for 12-metre yachts. These graceful craft are about 44 feet along the waterline and displace about 25 tons, com. pared with the 150 tons or so of the pre-war challengers. But the more colorful days of the competition--with the pos- sible exception of the one now coming 'up--were in the early times, One Scottish yacht owner hired a diver to examine the bottom of his boat to make sure the Americans had not hung barnacles or something on there. That was in the 1887 competition, WAS PERSISTENT The most persistent -- and most popular--challenger over the 111 years was Sir Thomas Lipton, a. publicity-wise Irish- man who for obvious reasons became known as Sir Tea. Lipton challenged unseccess- fully five times over 31 years from 1899 to 1930. He never won but he became so. well known that the more impressionable of race followers began calling the America's Cup the Lipton Cup. The closest Lipton came to winning was in 1920. He took the first two races, then lost two. A 30-mile-anhour wind whipped up as the fifth and de. ciding race was to start and the race. committee promptly can. celled the race. Practically everyone agreed that Lipton's yacht the Sham- rock IV could have won easily in a strong wind. But the next day it was practically calm and the American yacht, Resolute, won handily.
