The branching ratio of UPSILON(3S)..--> pi../sup +/..pi../sup -/UPSILON(1S) has been measured to be (4.9 +- 0.9 +- 0.5)%. The di-pion invariant-mass distribution for this decay is flatter than that for the decays UPSILON(2S)..--> pi../sup +/..pi../sup -/UPSILON(1S) and psi'..--> pi../sup +/..pi../sup -/psi.
