IROLITA BEAT ELENA IN
VINEYARD HAVEN RACE

VINEYARD HAVEN, Mass, Aug
13.-The fourth run of the New forh
Yacht Clubs annual cruise. from
Newport to this port yesterday, was
the liveliest since the yachts left Gler
Cove. There was scarcely a minute
from the start in the fog at Brenton's
Reef lightship at noon until the
breeze finish off West Chop that was
not marked with some exciting Incl
dents.
The fleet was considerably smaller
than that which came over from New
London, but the racing was good ano
there was considerable incentive to
competition, for Commodore c. Led
ward Blair contributed some massive
pieces of silver.
These were won by the schooners
Irolita, of Philadelphia and Marble
head. and the Taormina. of Boston,
and by the sloops Shimna, also OF
Boston, and by the little New York
~30-footer Rowdy. The Dorello IL. the
new Boston yacht, sailed a close race
with the Medora and los by 81 sec
onds.
The closeness of the results in all
classes was one of the features Of the
DAYS sport. The Irolita beat the
Elena by 26 seconds on corrected
after clinging tenaciously to the
Plant boat from start to finish. The
Shima won from the Avenger by 81
seconds. Today the fleet will return
TO Newport.

OTTAWA, Ont, Aug. 13.-The OF
tawa and New York veteran cricket
ers opened a two-day match at the
Rideau Hall grounds yesterday after
noon. The visitors went to bat first

could not get the New York batsmen
off their guard.
The Ottawas went in shortly before
shutdown and scored three runs with
out loss. F.. P. Rogers, of the New
York Club, missed train connections
and the visitors were forced to play
with ten men. Rogers will be here

Teddy Adams had a trif1e the bet

night. 1t was a battle between a
boxer and a slugger with the boxer

opponent with lefts and rights. Ad-
ams's scientific work earned him the
decision, though. Tommy Murphy
and Young Kelly hooked up in an

Five other bouts were carded and

Greatest Riders
Coming for Championships

Little is known here of Van Beber,
the Belgian champ. He is n of.the
newly developed pros of the continent
but must be a good man to be sent
here by the Belgian League of Wheel
men. All of these foreigners are being
sent here by their respective countries
and their expenses are being paid by
the national cycling organizations.
H. E. Rudolphe is the only middle
distance rider who will ride in the
worlds championships from Europe.
Walter Rutt, the sprint champion of
the German Empire, was unable to
come on accoun of sickness in his
family, Inc the Teutons decided to
try for the midd.e-distance honors.
Rudolph is one of the best paced
riders in Europe. In recent races
he has scored victories over Parent,
Guignard and Darragon, the best OF
the French long-distance men, and
all ex-world's champions. No bet
ter recommendation for the ability
of the German could be offered.
Frank. Kramer and Emil Friol vii
ride the third of their series of match
races at the Velodrome tomorrow
night. Friol still has hope of beating
the American champion, and this will
be his last chance. After the race
tomorrow night both Kramer and
Friol will start to prepare for the
worlds championships. and outside
of open competition they will not N
gage in any big match races of any
kind.
The other races on the card for to-
morrow night are a miss and out
race and a two-thirds mile handi-
cap for the pro-sprinters, a half-mile
handicap and a two-mile open for
the amateurs, and a twenty-mile
paced race in which Elmer Collins,
the paced champion, will meet Jimmy
Moran. Menus Bedell and Clarence
Carmen. This race is called the gol-
den wheel race.

CHAPPLE FEARS
TO MEET HASHA
Demands Exorbitant Price for
Race Against Local
Speed King.

That Arthur Chapple fears Eddie
Hasha, the speed king of all Eastern
motorcycle riders, is shown in the
fact that he is demanding an exorbi-
tam guarantee to ride at the local
Stadium. At first 1t did not seem
difficult to match these two boys, but
since Hasha has made a new worlds
record for six miles and holds the
Eastern record for the mile, Chapple
is not as anxious to meet him as be-
fore.
Chapple evidently thinks a defeat by
Hasha would n help his reputation
any. Hasha is confident that he can
defeat Chapple. He bases his def to
the Brighton speed merchant on the
fact that his time in the East is bet
ter than Chapple's, and that he has
bea. him on several occasions in the
West.
The Motordrome management has
made several overtures to Chapple
since he appeared at the opening
meet or Independence Day, but he has
held out for a big guarantee to be
paid before he will put his cycle on
the track.
When Hasha was seen today and
told of Chapple's demands he smiled
with one of those confident. smiles
thai carries with 1t the air of as
surance, and turning to Manager
Derkum, he said, In his drawing
Texan accent: you jes' go and give
Chap tibet guarantee and see if he
a come over heab and win"
Which shows just how confident Ed
die is of scoring a victory over Chap
pie.
