WIND WEAKENED
Flukes Worried the Sailors on Lake
Calhoun Yesterday.

The second series of the Calhoun Boat
club championship races was held at
Lake Calhoun yesterday afternoon, but
owing to the vagaries of the wind was
not as successful as was the first series
last Saturday.
Of the races finished the class B
event was the most interesting. The
Red Devil, sailed by Hodge, was an
easy winner and the race for second
place between the Venture and Scor-
pion was the best seen on the lake this
year. The Venture, sailed by Reiter,
won by IS seconds. The Scorpion was
sailed by Cass. The time was as fol-
lows: Red Devil, 1:0S:17; Venture,
1:2S:45; Scorpion, 1:29:10.
The Grace, sailed by Hagerty, went
against time, as there was no opponent
for her. She was awarded first prize.

La Crosse, Wis, Aug. 1.-THE state
league clubs have entered on their last
third of the season and have settled
down to a fight for position. Each
club can gain or lose only one place dur
ing the balance of the season, but this
situation has resulted in three pretty
contests for place.
There is the La Crosse Freeport con-
test for first place, the Oshkosh Green
Bay struggle for third and the Eau
above the tail end. Only a remarkable
rally or slump can take any Of the
clubs into the contest above or below
it and this is unexpected with all the
teams playing the same article OF base
ball. Neither Freeport nor La Crosse Is
playing a better game than Wausau,
and it is doubtful if either could hold
it's own in bruising series with Osh-
kosh, but the lead Of ten games held
the similar lead of the third and fourth
teams over those below them. make a
sensational late season climb on the
part Of any club unlikely.
In each of the three contests the lead
is constantly alternating and neither
competitor gets more than game or
two ahead. The pennant race between
La Crosse and Freeport Is still either s.
Freeport is much the faster fielding and
Shower team, while the La Crosse men
are better hitters. Each has staff of
good pitchers, but La Crosses is larger
The locals have been unfortunate In
having three of their star men crippled
prac tically all season, but has still held
grimly to the contest for the champion
ship, despite games lost by the slow OF
inaccurate fl Gliding Of the cripples.
Manager Asmussen Of the Eau Claire
team has been released and has been
succeeded by Mic Malven, who has
taken a turn at managing most of the
state league clubs and who is a clever
manager and popular player
"Ducky" Holmes, shortstop of. the
Wausaus, has taken the management OF
that team and has made it a lively

Onwentsia Golf Club, Lake Forest,
ILL.,, Aug. I'LL. Chandler Egan Of Elk
moor, western golf champion and for
mer national champion, today captured
the first leg on the Mayfower cup in
the final days play of the Onwentsia
club 8 annual tournament at Lake For
est by defeating Robert E. Hunter of
Midlothian, five up and four to play.
The Exmoor champion had comparative
ease in adding his new honors to his
list of laurels, Hunter never proving
formidable.
Egan's victory is the third straight
he has won In Onwentsia Journeys, his
victory last year giving him permanent
possession Of the Raven Cakes cup.
The contest for the Mayfower cup
failed to bring out the hard-fought
struggle that had been looked for as a
result Of the previous showings of the
final lists this season, however, while
neither played at top form, the compe
tition was warm for part of the way
Egan was faulty in his putting much OF
the time, while Hunter displayed con
siderable nervousness.

CRUISE SUCCESSFUL
Ward Burtons' New Boat Captured the
Sailing Honors.

A perfect summer day favored the
members of the Minnetonka Yacht club
yesterday and permitted them to con-
duct the most successful sailboat cruise
that the club has ever held. A strong
wind from the north made the sailing
excellent and the weather cool and de-,
ightful. #
The cruise was in the form of an in
formal race from the clubhouse in ST..
Louis bay up the Big lake, thru the mar
rows, and thence to Mound. The boats
were not separated into classes, but all
were started together.
The starting gun was fired at 10:45.
Eight boats started off practically to-
gether, each equipped for lunch upon
their arrival at Mound. Each boat was
required to carry at least one lady.
The first boat to arrive at the destina-
ton was Ward Burton s new sloop. The
new flyer made the distance in an hour
and twenty minutes. The All Ho, Rus
sci M. Bennet's new Glass B sloop was
second, several minutes behind the Bur
ton boat.
The Tiger, owned by A. Jefferson; The
Siren, w. D. Sammis; the Chaperon II,
L. P. and Fred Chute, finished next in
order. The club launch accompanied
the party.

support. A cry of distress was set up
there gave it out that unless money
was forthcoming the club would be-
paid off and disbanded next week.
The threat seems to have been effective
for the report has since gone out that
the fans have gone down into their
pockets to some extent. A carnival is
also being held for the benefit of the
association, and it looks now as if Wa
terloo might weather the storm.

leagues and all the lovers of the game
are hoping that it will be continued not
only. this year, but that sufficient en-
thusiasm can be aroused to keep the
