Protest Award OF Cup
to Plant Yacht Elena

NEWPORT. r. l.. Aug. 20.-The
award of the vice-commodore's cup
for large schooners, sailed for in the
recent cruise of the New York Yacht
Club. will be held up pending the
decision of the regatta committee IN
a protest filed by Demarest Lloyd,
of the schooner Princess, against the
Elena, owned by Morton F. Plant
and sailed by William S. Dennis. The
protest arose through an incident of
the run from Vineyard Haven to
Newport. in which four schooners
were close to the middle ground and
the Elena called to the Princess for
room. The Princess yielded, although
ON the starboard tack, but immedi-
ately hoisted a protest flag.
1t was thought at the time that the
protest was against the schooner
Muriel, owned and sailed by Charles
Smithers, but those on the Princess
claim that the Muriel was not at
fault, but that 1t was the Elena
which made the error. At the close
of the run the contest was given to
the Elena, but the cup, following the
usual custom. was not delivered at
hat time.

MARVIN HART, FORMER
FIGHTER, Is INJURED

SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. pa man
who declares he is Marvin Hart, the
former heavyweight pugilist. is IN a
local hospital seriously injured as a
result of being struck by a Great
Northern Railroad train yesterday.
After proclaiming his identity the
man lapsed into Inconsistencies and
his statement could not be verified.
The injured man was picked up on
the Great Northern tracks a few
miles outside of this city Monday
afternoon. Clad in shabby garments,
with several days growth of beard
on his face, and with no money or
articles of value on his person, he
was set down as a hobo and sent to
the county hospital.
When he regained consciousness he
refused to state his identity, but after
the surgeons advised him of the seri-
of his condition he told them
he was Marvin Hart, the prize fighter.
Marvin Hart was heavyweight
champion of the world for a few fleet
ing months about foul years ago.
After Jim Jeffries had retired and no
worthy white could be found to OPP
pose him, he announced that he would
bestow his title on the winner of the
Marvin Hart-Jack Root contest, held
at Reno, New. Hart won, and soon
lost his title to Tommy Burns, the
Canadian. Hart continued in the ring
for a few more years, but has been
unheard of in the East for some time.

Otis CrdnddH, Whose Pitching
HeIped Giants to Gain on Cubs

The seeming slump of Marquard
and Mathewson, of the Giants twirl-
ing corps. puts Otis Crandall in line
for some of the heroic work that will
be necessary to keep McGraw's boys
from falling before the onslaught of
the terrible Cubs.
Crandall has a slow ball and z
slower one. He often starts off b.
feeding a dilatory ball that the batter
misses entirely in his ~endeavor to
kill it. But the next one is, instead
of a six-mile-an-hour ball. a four
mile-an-hour ball. And the batter
will break his back going after it.
Otis Crandall has no fear, no
nerves, nothing but a pleasant smile
and a bunch of slow balls-some
slower than others. He's one of the
most popular men among players in
baseball. Incidentally, as everyone
knows, he a play the infield or put
field as well as he can pitch. Also
he's a pinch hitter of some renown
standing at the present moment
about as high as anyone in the bat
ting average lists.

can't cover much ground and he is
not fast on the bases.
ALEX McCarty is a grand fielder

weather for several weeks and a rest

played second. He is a shortstop, but
I'll predict he will make a good Sec

Jeanette Plans Quick
Knockout of Bob Lee
Jersey Fighters Last Bout Before He Meets Jack
Johnson Will Give Newark Fans Real Line
on Ability of Man Who Is After Champions
e
ship Crown. !

The last appearance in the ring Of
johnson for the championship of the
world will be tonight, when he pits
his skill and strength against that
of Bob Lee, OF Philadelphia, at the
Eleventh Ward Athletic Club Joe
made his farewell appearance in New
York last night by stopping jeff Mad
den, a so-called Boston white hope,
in two rounds, and after the affair
he declared he. would wind up the
affair with Lee in just as quick
order.
To do this Jeanette will have to
travel much faster than he did last
night, for Lee is not such an easy
customer as Madden. While Lee has
not made the wonderful record in the
ring that Jeanette has he has earned
such a good reputation about Phila-
delphia that he has often bee talked
of as the man who also had a pos
sible chance of wrestling the crown
from Jack johnson. Of course ais
friends may be overestimating his
ability, but Just how fast he is and
what consideration he is entitled
to will be learned when he meets a
man who is already matched TO fight
for the title.
Many persons do not realize what
a chance Jeanette is taking in meet
ing this man Lee. His entire future,
one might say, depends on this bout,
for should Lee by any chance send
across to the jaw of Joe a wailor
that would put him to sleep all the
life-work of Jeanette would have
l,een in vain and the glory and honor
of stepping into the ring with a
champion would vanish. Lee would
then gain the honor as the yam
quisher of Jeanette. and there is nc
doubt but that his claims for a bout
with Johnson would be granted.
Champions of the fight game are
made in a night and there is nc
telling but that this night might make
a champion of Lee. Such arguments

owner, James A. Pugh, averred that
he had already won the cup. Baby

two and two between Disturber III

sound ridiculous when the areer of
Jeanette is taken into consideration
The Hoboken man has met and de-
feated men just as strong and even
more clever than Lee and always
had something in reserve. The mere
fact that Jeanette has several wins
over johnson proves that he has
something that all the other boys
have not. But, nevertheless. there
is all that chance hat Lee might

The patrons Of this club must
realize that Jeanette was brought
here after much persuasion. His
manager, Dan McKetrick. was un-

fight, but when it was explained that
the New Jersey fans are the most
loyal and that Jeanette was a Jersey
boy. he agreed to allow him to show
here. Dan always gets the money.

The management of the club thought
it was doing a wonderful piece OF

this bout a slight advance will be
charged. Hereafter the popular
