the general public. II people are misled
by newspaper dispatches IL Is the papers
printing them which are blamed by the
readers, and which suffer for errors for
which their editors or reporters are not
responsible.
The Chicago Associated Press, which

mistake I'm the dispatches describing Sa-
turday's yacht-race, which was about as
ridiculous an error as ii Is often the mis-
fortune Of a newspaper 70 publish. The
mistake was as simple as IL was colossal.
THE Chicago Associated Press reporters
evidently could not tell the difference be.
tween the Defender and the Nalkyrie.
This is the charitable view of the mis-
take. which led anxious thousands to be-
Neve the Defender hopelessly beaten. The
other view is that the Associated Press
tug got lost in the mist ana the report
ers sent in fake dispatches
"The United Press reports were correct

the race was cabled TO England before
the belated Chicago Press reporters dis
