The worst Of bad luck for Il
Chicks sailed in on that baby cyclol
yesterday afternoon and when q
Champions had separated their or
from the mud they found themsel1|
separated from the first home raI
with Harrisburg by a to hni.I
Il was the Chicks own little bid
that sent the Harrisburg entries
front of the sailing. Until the IS
wester" kicked up the sailing wi
good for the Champions. Jarm|
had stood Cockills entries on beiI

the wreck came after two HarrisbuI
shippers had been lost. Emerson d

sailed up to their corners. A sd
ond later a squall upset the Jarml
entry and Keyes and Crist had WI
the race. Pity It's. 'tis true. ~
spurts of Emerson and Crist were d
only ones the entire nine entri
from Harrisburg could show, al
they won out ove' ten local entri
that certainly had the race cinchI
until the blow came
Nevertheless it was race th
kept the dusty-shOred crowd on edl
even while the cloUOs dropped tho
tears. Many of the land lubbe
thought the starting Judge shou
have stopped the rcgetta TO save q
home entries, but Mr.. Walker wasI
that kind of a sailor He made the
all sail as best they could under G
circumstances, and the Harrisbu
crew die the better sailing.
The Champions, however. werei
outclassed. Before the water kick
uD Commodore Tom Brown had stce
ed his cutter across the hnishii
point, but when Harrisburg III
emerged from the clouds three
their entries were over. On the six
leg of the course Jackson was TO
ed to the first turn and sailed to {
third sake while Meyers was sp
in trying to reach the first DO
Sharpe also got a line, and
Pearce's speed sail into the fiji
stake the Jackson cutter was aero
the finish line.
On the eighth leg the ChampiO
came close to overtaking the enti
Harrisburg feet, but ahoy Wi
dropped after Jackson had aga
steered his cutter across Meye
upset as he was about to finish, a
when a rock tore the bottom out
the Foye cruiser, Sharpe and Pear
sent out the S. o. S. from the thi
and second stakes, the finishing q
sounded and the blow was over.
To those who ale more famili
with a ball game than with wat
sports, it may be necessary to expla
that the Chicks lost that old b;
game in the sixth inning off JimI
JacksOn's error and Jarman's wi
pitch. The two hits Harrisburg ma
that inning were all they we're al
to collect.
FOye struck out IN the eighth

sent ShOllenberger in to hit for ia

LIFE SENTENCE FOR
 MRS. WAKEFIELD
Judge Reed 0ve1lu|es Motion to
 Have Verdict Set Aside.

New Haven, Conn.,, July 31.-Mrs. Bessie J. Wakefield of Middlebury, convicted by jury last night of mur- der in the second degree in partici- rating in the killing of her husband, William O. Wakefield, at Cheshire. on June 23, 1913, was sentenced to state prison for the rest of her natural life by Judge Reed of the superior court today. The sentence was in con- formity to the law. Her senior coun- sel, Thomas F. Devine of Waterbury, in addressing the court before sen- tence was pronounced moved to set aside the verdict on the grounds that it was against the evidence. The form of the motion was not acceptable to the court and counsel was given op- portunity to present it in different verbiage, which was done. States At torney filling demurred to the motion. The court overruled the motion with out passing upon the demurrer. As a preface to the sentence Judge Reed made a brief review of the case from manuscript during which he said that Mrs. Wakefield had had an absolutely fair trial, that her rights had been safeguarded at every point, and that IHc VeTulCI LII lIle Jury was JuSI oIlc.
 On Point of Collapse.
 Mrs Wakefield was on the point of collapse during the session and was unable to stand when Judge Reed gave her sentence.
 The reason why MT. Devine was asked to change the wording of his motion was it's noncompliance with the form prescribed in the practice act.
 Attorneys Hold Conference.
 The opening of court was delayed while the attorneys in the case had a conference. Mrs. Wakefield sat with her father, and cried audibly throughout the session. The court did not ask her to stand when at 11:12 he gave the sentence.
 Judge Reed read a prepared state ment, saying in substance that the prisoner had had every advantage in the matter of defense, and that al- though the jury might have returned verdict of murder in the first de- gree, they had given her the benefit of doubt, and that he was glad they did, He characterized the conduct of Mrs. Wakefield on the night preceding the murder, when James Plew, who has been hanged as the actual slayer, and her husband quarreled, as unnatural and not that
