VENUS OUTSA|LS
SLO0P DETROIT
EASTERN SC0W LOSES FIRST
RACE UNDER NEW C0LORS
Third Annual Event for Ocean Park
Country Club Cup Results In Big
Surprlse-Declsive Victory
for Pease's Boat

Byron Erkenbrecher and ex-Commo-
dore Jenkins of the South Coast Yacht
club are disappointed men. In the open
race for the Ocean Park Country club
cup yesterday afternoon the famous
scow sloop Detroit originally purchased
by San Diego enthusiasts to defend the
Upton cup was ignominiously defeated
by the staunch old Venus. Herb Pease's
cruising sloop.
With choppy sea running off Ocean
Park yesterday the eastern scow was
outfooted and outsailed and literally
never had a chance under the handicap
of the prevailing weather conditions to
delight her new owners by winning the
first race sailed under the colors of the
Terminal Island club.
The Venus found the weather to her
liking and while George Folsom's Mis-
chief was always up in the going the
Detroit was forced to assume the tail
end of the procession, while Messrs.
Erkenbrecher and Jenkins remarked on
the pernicious whims of fate and for
tune in general and a certain soop
yacht in particular, which must have a
mill pond sea before consenting to sus-
tain her fleet reputation.
The Ocean Park Country club cup
was offered as trophy for an unre-
stricted class race three years ago, the
stipulation being made that the annual
event should be sailed off the beach
town. With the hurried purchase of
, the Detroit, mainly, of course, for the
purpose Of lifting the Upton cup and
incidentally the Ocean Park bauble,
there came great sadness to the
owners Of the Mischief and the Marie,
for they pictured themselves relegated
to poor second place by the advent Of
the Detroit town scow.
But yesterdays race worked a marked
change In the mental attitude of the
masters of the aforementioned craft
but particularly so to Herbert Pease
and his crew of heArties.
The race, which resulted in a de-
cisive victory for the Venus yesterday
was sailed over an equilateral triangle
two miles to each leg and twice around
the first leg to windward.
In the first leg the Detroit Rugged

ing course well out in the channel.
The Detroit assumed the lead for the
first half mile, but in rounding the first
mark the Venus and Marie had prom
Using lead on the eastern boat. On the
beat to the outer mark the Detroit held
her own, but on the run to the finish
line the Venus showed clean pair of
heels to the remainder of the fleet. The

| For the month of June 405 of those
who refused to obey the laws of tenn
perance and, in the deep gray dawn of
the morning after, with deep brown
taste still in their mouths, were lined
up In the police courts.
The startling part of the figures is
that the larger percentage of those who
stood up to plead guilty. pay their fines
or work on the city's streets did not
patronize the home industry of wine
making to any great extent. The ma
jority Of the drunks were fully de-
veloped on just plain beer. Sonora
towns contributions to cells in the
police station were made largely on the
basis of "red eye." The man who be-
came dizzy on champagne did not figure
in the motley array of those who were
arraigned during the month.
The fines ran from IS to SO each.
Many of them were paid promptly, but
large number of those who sobered
up In the tanks, following their inter-
view with the police judge. went back
again to while away the time In wait i
ing for their sentences to expire.
The city has 200 policemen. Among
other things catching UP drunks is one
of their chief occupations. Drunks are
not hard to catch. They come easy
The city also has two judges whose

AMATEURS FIGHT
At ARMORY HALL
FAST BOUTS IN FINALS FOR
TITLES
SAILOR PHILLIPS IS TR0UNC ED
"JetfrIes" Secures Local Heavyweight
Championship by Hestlns the
Young MarIner--Davls Gets
Decision Again
SAILOR PHILLIPS is TRoUNcED

A good sized and orderly crowd
turned out last evening to witness what
might be termed strenuous festival
Of blffs and swings, held in Armory
hall under the auspices Of the newly In
corporated Broadway Athletic club,
The mill was pulled off in order to de-
eide number of amateur boxing cham
pionships, and while slugging contests
were at times freely engaged in, never
theless, the spectators derived con-
siderable pleasure from the evenings s
sport and the throng journeyed home
at midnight to dream of the fierce
swings and uppercuts.
Much interest was manifested by the
spectators in the all-star event of the
bill--which was advertised as con-
test in the heavyweight class between
"Rube' Jeffries of boilermaking fame,
and Sailor" Phillips, once prone to
cruise upon the high seas. "Rube"
found the tar to be sublime lump of
candy in so far as the science of swings
and uppercuts Is concerned and to
amuse the gallery gods he toyed with
his rival in the first canto. In the Sec
ond and last round the boilermaker
forced matters some, and Phillips went
into trance soon after the gong called
the men from their corners. Phillips
amused himself by hitting the floor
once or twice. The referee gave Jeff"
the decision about thirty seconds be-
fore the sound of the gong in the second,
for which he received the glad look
from the sailor.
kid Webster and Jimmy" Davis
again locked horns for the champion
ship in the 125-pound class. After a
hotly contested fight, in which the men
mixed things generally, the referee
gave the decision to Davis on points.
This decision did not meet with favor.
"Billy' Walsh of Los Angeles proved
himself to be fair judge Of the fistic
game, for in the second round he sue
ceeded in administering severe dose
of biffs to his opponent, Young Nc
Fadden of Frisco, and for the sake of
the latters wounded blinker, the ref
cree called halt and declared Walsh
to be the champion in the lightweight
division.
Eddie Danaher Of Frisco looked well
in the 1imelight and in the argument
he succeeded in sending B. Walker into
temporary oblivion. Walker apparent
ly failed to appreciate the Frisco lads
game, for he attempted to enjoy a
peaceful nap before the bell sounded
at the close Of the first round.
In the battle for the bantam weight
championship, D. Janicke hooked up
with j. Mareno, a young terrier from
Sonoratown. Janicke forced matters
from the start and had his plucky op-
ponent all but out when he inadver-
tently struck the little fellow a palpa-
BILE foul blow and the fight was ac-
|cordingly awarded to Mareno. Mareno
sprang to his feet, however, and un-
dertook to resume operations, but the
referee had already given his decision.
