YACHT Vim WON FINAL
RAGE FOR BIG CUP

The Roosevelt cup, presented by the
Eastern Yacht club, TO inaugurate yacht
ing contests between Germany and Amer
lea. was won yesterday by the American
yacht Vim. owned by Commodore T. J..
Park OF the American Yacht club OF New
York BY taking the race the Vim scored
her third victory, which gave her owner
the much-prlzed cupt as we'll as the honor
Of showing that his yacht was the best
all-round craft OF the six that started 10
race in the series begun a week ago
OF the hve races sailed. the Vim won
the second, third and NTH. while the AUX
captured the first race, and the Wannsee
the fourth. The victory for the Vim was
also splendid triumph for William Gard
ner, her designer. and for Crinord Buck
man, her skipper. and his crew.
At no time after the first mark had
been passed was the Vim in danger OF
being beaten She led the AUX, the sec
ond boat, by more than a minute when
the weather turn was reached. and sailed
so fast on the next two legs that she was
nearly five minutes ahead when the first
round OF the triangular course was COM
pleted on the second beat over tho wind
ward leg the AUX gained 40 seconds on
the Vim. chiefly because she caught a
couple OF favorable slants of wind that
lifted her out nicely. The Vim still had
a long lead when sheets were eased again
for the close reach 10 the second mark
and she increased tn advantage consid-
erabiy before the turn was reached
on the broad reach over the last leg

for the final time, IL was a test Of sea-
manship between Capt Adams OF the
AUX and Capt. Buckman OF the Vim, for
a dense fog had sealed down and II was
a case OF finding the finish line by the
compass The Vim strayed from her
course on the homeward leg, and was
we'll 10 the eastward OF the finish line
when Mr. Buckman located 1t by the
blowing of whistle on the committees
tug, Mercury. Trimming his sheets aft,
the WINS skipper held up and crossed
the finish line at 5:23:2S more than four
minutes ahead OF the AUX
Capt Adams Of the AUX steered n
ward leg. allowing for the tide and wind
middle The German yacht Wannsee
also wandered from her course but
Skipper Protzen finally located the line
by hearing the Mercury's whistle. and
he came drifting out OF the fog across
the line II minutes and Il seconds behind
the victorious American yacht Vim, and
minutes. % seconds behind the AUX.
IL proved an unfavorable day for the
race from the spectators standpoint, be-
cause OF the dense fog. When the three
contestants reached the starting line, con-
ditions appeared favorable for start Al
the scheduled time. 1l:10 a. m, but away
TO the eastward a heavy bank OF Fog
could be seen drifting In shore before a
stiff easterly breeze.
The committee caused compass course
signals TO he hosted, showing that the
first leg was a beat 10 the windward due
east, and the second a reach southeast

TURF SCANDAL IN

There is n turf scandal brewing as a
result Of the bad races run by Electioneer
and Fountsinblue in the Flatbush stakes
at the sheepshead Bay track last satur-
day. w. Lakeland and James r. Brady.
owners Of the respective colts, intimated
that their horses were not beaten by
De Mund on their merits and that they
should have finished much nearer the
winner.
w. Lakeland criticised Shaw's riding
severely. lie stated yesterday that he
had nothing more to say for publication,
but that he stood by his first opinion,
that Shaw did not ride the colt as Wig
orously as he did in the Futurity.
Replying TO the story that he had only
paid Shaw s25 for winning the Futurity
with Electioneer, he said II was not true;
that he had handed the Jockey $4,000 for
his work a few days after the race,
Electioneer is not now in his stable.
Felix Isman now owns the youngster,
and Frank Brown will train him.
In the bitter disappointment after
Fountainbues poor showing Brady and
his trainer. Matt Allen, said many
things Both men were inclined 10 blame
Jockey Martin for the colts bad per
formance Allen was more severe than
Brady In his criticism of Martins riding.

LOCAL POLICE
TEAM LOST

The Providence police team went to Fail
River yesterday afternoon 10 play the
first of series of games with the Fall
River coppers and got a bad walloping
by a score of Is to 1.
on The other hand. McKenzie's deliv-
cry was pounded hard. especially by Bo-
gan. who got three singles and a two
bagger in FIVE times at bat.
Now and then Providence did come with
a lively play, as instanced by the work
OF McManus. He was the player who
started a triple play in the fourth inning
with the bases filled. Again in the NTH by
a pretty catch he was able to put in mo
tion a double play.
The general verdict of the spectators
was that the Providence players were
pretty good fellows, but that any man
who entered politics knowing so little of
the fine points Of the national game as
they did wouldn't be elected as lamp
lighter on a popular vote inside OF 50 or
90 years at the least. The score:

CORNELL FOOTBALL
TEAM PRACTICE

The first football practice OF the season
on Percy field was held at Ithaca yes
terday afternoon. Twelve aspirants for
honors on the Cornell Varsity eleven re-
ported. Coach Warner. Assistant Coach
Lueder and Capt. Cook were on hand, and
put the men through two hours hard
work on the forward pass. The practice
was very ragged, the runners finding
great difficulty In catching the oval from
behind while sprinting up the field.
Warner has just returned from Carlisle,
whore he tried some of the new tangled
ideas on the redskins in scrlmmages. He
says that the forward pass was good for
long gains occasionally, but that the aver
age was not high.

state fair grounds track yesterday in
l:59i2, which is just one-quarter OF a
second slower than the mile he paced
over the same track one year ago
The horse was driven to beat the
worlds record. so the attempt must
go down as n failure. The day was
warm and there was no wind from
any direction.
On the second score down Gatcomb
nodded for the word ;ud he was lr' ut
terri1c pace with the runncr many
lengths in front. re quartz, was
minute fiat, the second quarter having
been paced In 29h seconds. Audubon
Boy rairly fought for his head In the
next quarter, which was traversed I'm
20 seconds fiat the three quarters be
ing in 1929. The great effort made in
the second and third quarters wearied
the son OF J. J. Audubon $50 that he
could only come the LAST quarter in
30Ia seconds. Gatcomb may make
another attempt before the end OF the
week
The racing was productive OF some
exciting finishes. Ed Geers won the
$4,000 stake race for 2:17 PAGERS I'm

10 l favorite over the field, with a
strong play on Princess Helen. Geers,

in the first quarter and was not headed
during the remainder OF the mile. Ar
delle made a bad break at the half
In the second heat. but Geers got the
favorite back on TO her feet The third
heat was easy for Ardelle.
Ed. Benyon won his first race with
Jessie Benyon by taking down first
money in the 2:16 trot. India was the
hot favorite. but was only troublesome
I'm the final heat when Benyon only won
by a nose.
