NEW YORK "A. L.). 49, WASHINGTON, ?.

II was merely relaxation from the usually
trying tussles that the American League
affords for the New Yorks to beat the Wash
lngt0nS yesterday at American League Park
The Senators may have been cowed by the
continuous drubbinRs the New Yorks have
given them. anyway, they played burlesQue
ball The New Yorks, on the other hand
went along AT the slashing pace that Ia their
wont and simply crushed the Senators to
the point of being resistless. The day was
dark and threatening. but the vision Of the
New York batsmen was in nOwise obsCured
by the want OF light, They unoosed hit
after hit, batting Orth ont Of the box In two
innings and despoiling the delivery of Town
send throughout the remaining six.
Battery errors by Washington were as
plentiful az. fielding errors. Wnshin gton
scored first and that at once aroused the
inhabitants of the Heights, The latter trained
their guns on Orth in the second inning and
between heavy hitting and costly contortions
when in pursuit of the ball by the Wash
ingtons, the local lads scored in platoona
Every New Yorker except Williams hit safely
at least once. Keeler setting the pace with
four finds and Williams bingled hard but
unluckily. There was scarcely moments
cessation in gluttonous sormandizing with
the willow.
Howell completed the job Of reducing
Washington 10 a state OF meekness by his
able pitching. A superb running catch by
Robinson was one exception to the general

CLEAR COURSE FOR THE YACHTS.
Captains who Break Rules VIII Have IL
eenses Suspended or Revoked.

WARRINGTON, Aug. IL Secretary Cortelyou
OF the Department of Commerce and Labor
to-day formulated the rules and regulations
which will control the patrol fleet. excursion
steamers and other vessels carrying spec
tatOrs during the coming yacht races for the
Americas Cup Copies were forwarded to
the Regatta Committee of the New York
Yacht Club which will publish them. Copies
were also sent to the Treasury Department
for the guidance of officers of such revenue
cutters as Secretary Shaw may detail for the
patrol fleet.
Congress, at its last session, transferred
from the Secretary OF the Treasury to the
Secretary of Commerce and Labor the office
of the Commissioner OF Navigation The
Attorney -General has therefore decided that
the making Of rules and regulations for the
yacht races are duties pertaining to the new
Department.
The sailing rules for the patrol feet and for
excursion steamers, which were approved
to-day are substantially the same as those
in force during the races OF 1901. and were
proposed by the Regatta Committee of tho
New York Yacht Club. The regulations
direct attention, however. more specifically
than hitherto to the penalties that will be
imposed for violation OF the rules. Secretary
Cortelyou makes II understood that suspen-
sion or revocation OF licenses will be the pun
ishment of any captain or pilot OF an excur-

TORONTO. Ont, Aug. 11.-Irondequit has
turned the tables on her rival Strathcona

Or. Lymans retirement from the turf has
a peculiar interest at this time, In view OF his

of the Pepper Stable. Last September DR..
Lyman formed a racing partnership with
Col. Pepper and Mrs. Pepper, who has been
her husbands partner for several years
Or. Lyman says that by the terms OF his
partnership he was not to assume any liability
for forfeits for the Pepper horses that were
nominated 20 stakes before the date OF the
partnership agZement.
The Colonel and the doctor agreed to dis
agree not many months after the partner
ship was formed. The Lyman horses were
shipped North and the Pepper horses were
put up at auction and bid in by Col. Pepper,
Many of them were declared out OF stakes,
and Col Pepper called on DR., Lyman TO put
up his part of the forfeit money: The doctor
said he guessed not. since the horses had
been nominated before the Peppers and

CoRBETT GOT DECISION.
outpointed Briggs at Boston in Ten
Round Bout.

Young Corbett. champion featherweight
of the world. bested Jimmy Briggs of Chel-
sea- Mass. champion featherweight of New
England in ten rounds at the Criterion A.
c., Boston. last night. Over 5000 persons
witnessed the bout. the majority Of whom
were supporters of Briggs and they mani
tested their disapproval of Referee Days
decision in no uncertain manner.
The decision however. was a just one.
as the champion outpointed the Boston boy
handily and toward the end of the bout
did his best to win decisively.
From start to finish Briggs fought on the
defensive. stalling and blocking during the
greater part of the contest. Occasionally,
however. the star of the east would as
sumo the aggressive. and in these rallies
he would force Young Corbett around the
ring or into clinches.
COrbett tried REPEATEDLY to put his ter
rife right swing on Briggs jaw, but the
latter's crouching attitude made it almost
impossible for the champion to land with
effect.
Both iabbed almost continuously and to
his left jab Briggs owes the credit of stay
ing the limit. In several of the rounds the
local man had the champion tired, notably
Ia the third. eighth and ninth.
Contrary to his usual method Briggs paid
little attention to his opponents body. but
this was probably due to Corbetts fine de-
Tense. Corbett had eight or ten pounds
advantage in weight. and this handicap be-
gan to tell on Briggs toward the end of the
bout.
