DETROIT BOAT
FAR IN LEAD
Ste. Claire Looks to Have Walk
Away for the Upton
Cup.
New YORK Sun speoial service.

New York Sun Special Service.
Chicago, Aug. 15.-From the crack of the
starting gun until the moment when she swept
across the finishing linz Under cloud of creamy
canvas, spinnaker, balloon jib and mansail, Ste.
Claire led the little fleet of racing yachts con-
testing for the Upton cup around the course
In the first race sailed yesterday, and proved
to the satisfaction of everyone that she is
here to retain the trophy for Detroit. From
first to last it was dismal procession, Ste
Claire leading with consummate ease, Mendoza
striving desperately to overhaul and Quen Sabe,
only hope of Chicago yachtsmen, trailing along
hopeiessly nearly mile astern.
1t was a clean-cut victory for the Detroit
boat, defender of the cup, and bitter dis
appointment to all loyal yachtsmen who saw 1t.
The decisiveness Of Quien Sabe's defeat leaves
little hope that the cup is destined to return
to Chicago this year.
The opinion is that Ste Claire is in class
by itself. There still a few whose faith In
the Price-Lorimer syndicate boat, Quiet Sabe,
is mistaken, but even they are forced to admit
that the perfect condition of Ste. Claire the
faultless fit and cut of its sails and the I'M
approachable skill with which it is handled,
gives the Detroit boat advantage which
Quien Sabe, with erratic handling, a mainsail
that set like bag and hull i'll prepared for
| racing, cannot overcome.
Mendoza, the Milwaukee Yacht clubs entry,
was the only boat in the race that gave the
skipper of Ste. Claire the least uneasiness.
Between these two boats the first round of
the triangular course developed race that was
at times almost exciting, and always interest.
ing. On both these yachts the crew-work was
! a lesson to local yachtsmen On Ste Claire
especially the work Of the crew beyond
tault-tnd1ng. No boat has ever been more skill
fully handled In race In these waters than
was the Ste. Claire. If the judgment and
crew work had been displayed on Quien Sabe
| Its showing might have been less execrable
The weather conditions at the start were dis
plrlting to everyone except the crews on the
| racers The rain and gloomy outlook of the
morning deferred all but handful of enthu-
siasts from following the race.

Instead Of keeping freshmen players off foot

intricacy of Minnesot0s play and the methods
in vogue In training and coaching at the pres

that both teams get their full share Of coaching
and that the freshmen will get more training
than they have ever received before.
Under the old rule it necessary for a
freshman to show up very strong at the start
to get chance at the gopher team In his first
Or second year. He had, in way, to work Out
his own career and show staying power, strength
and speed, before he was admitted as a member
Of the second or third team. Under the new
plan the freshmen will be under the eye of thu
coaches from the moment they step on the fell

BIG LEAGUES MAY
RAID THE MINORS
Another War Thought Possible
if Ban Johnson Idea
Prevails.
New York Sun Special Service.

Chicago Aug. 15.-There is good reason to be-
lieve that the peaceful conditions which have
SO long prevailed in the baseball world are to
be broken up. The trouble will probably date
from the meeting of the national commission in
Cincinnati today. President B. B. Johnson of
the American league, before leaving for Gin
cinnati last night, expressed the belief that
a split between the major and minor leagues is
inevitable, and Johnson ought to know.
Johnson is after the little fellows harder than
anybody else, and he says the ultima um of the
national commission, issued at Cleveland last
month, will be observed to the letter. Accord
ing to the American league executive, there is
to be no crawfshing by the commission. All of
which means, in few words, that the pro-
lection Of the national agreement is to be
withdrawn from the minor leagues and the big
league magnates will be at liberty to raid the
small leagues and take whatever players they
get at any time in any way they
