YACHT RACES SAILED
BUT WEREN'T SUCCESS

In a most uncertain breeze the Cod,
owned by Or. Morton Prince OF Boston,
won the second OF the trial races for the
selection of the defender OF the Rooso-
welt cup.
The Caramba. owned by c. II. w Fos.
ter. was a close second, while Cheewink
VI, the entry of +. q. Macomber, was
a poor third. The race was anything but
a success from the committee point of
view.
IT was anyone's race until the yachts
turned the first mark, six miles southeast
OF the starting line of Halfway Rock,
but the cod mad the most luck on the
spinnaker run TO the stake and rounded
IL at :26:5S, which was 1 minute SO sec
onds ahead OF the Caramba.
At one time on the run down the Cod

shortly before o'clock the Cod picked
up northwest air. and Or Prince
brought his boat on the port tack and
took a long hitch toward the Magnolia,
shore IN search OF a further breeze.
After a while It was evident that the
helmsman on the cod had overstood the
finish line and had made a mistake.

IL was Pope Joan's public trial for

\ day on the courts OF the Meadow club. at
Southampton. l.. /.
1t was the first appearance OF Wright
since the accident which resulted In the

cause OF his misfortune that the atten-
ton OF the large and fashionable gallerw,
centred upon Wright The tall player
looked vigorous enough. but there was
lacking that display OF vim which marked
his work upon the courts
The fact that Wright ls hardly physi-

tional championship leads the experts 10
believe that at the coming meeting at
Newport new champion will flll tthe
place now held by him. both I'm singles
and also In the doubles, In which he Is
paired with Holcombe Ward.
Wright won two matches yesterday,
but in each he was pushed to his full linn
* by men who under other conditions
would hardly be able 20 make an impress
sion upon the resourcefu game Of the
champion. II was the youthful a. Dab
