Challenger

In Manhattan last week, dollars ($3,500 by Sept. 29) were pouring into the Mayor's office from people who had taken seriously Will Rogers' suggestion that the U. S. raise popular subscription to present a "sympathy trophy" to Sir Thomas Lipton. Mayor and committee announced that it would be the finest trophy the jewellers of the city could provide.

Said Lipton, about to sail for home on the Leviathan:

"I will challenge again shortly. My challenger will have a [duralumin] mast and a boom like Enterprise's."

"Will you challenge again in two years, Sir Thomas?" asked reporters.

"Two years nothing. I said shortly."
