MUCH INTEREST IN
THE CANOE RACES

New York. July 1s.-The international
challenge cup canoe races being sailed to
day in Gravesend bay. New York, while Of
ouch interest TO canoeists. have been rather
tfvershadOwed this year because Of the
more famous trophies figuring in the inter
national schedule for 1914 This cup. how
ever, has a history fully interesting as
either the polo, yacht or tennis trophies,
although not so widely heralded- It began
with the formation Of the New York Canoe
club in 1871. Some Il years later the club
received an intimation that the champions
Of England would be glad to enter a con-
test for sailing canoes In answer TO this
suggestion the club offered an international
challenge cup perpetual challenge sail
ing trophy, the conditions OF which were
drawn in substantial accordance with that
established for the Americas cup for larger
yachts
The sailing canoes used IN these contests
are perhaps the most perfect sailing craft
in existence, for they have been so devel-
Oped as TO permit Of carrying larger sail
spread in proportion TO their size than any
other craft in existence. The canoes are
dscksd over so as 70 be water tight with
but q small cockpit left above the water
line Across the deck Is rigged a sliding
seat twice the width Of the canoe permit
ting the sailor TO reach his entire length
thus forming q counterbalance to the pres
sure On the sails. In some OF the previous
contests a sail area OF over $50 feet was
used. but recently the Canoe association
limited the sail area TO 30 square feet.
Capsizes are frequent, but the sanoes. being
unsuitable are soon righted and the race
continued

TEAMS FIGHTING
FOR THE PEAHANT
Race Is Close in Both the
Major and Minor Leagues;
Little Money Made.

New York. July 1S-With the close Of
the professional baseball season less than
two months away the pennant races in
both major and minor leagues are tighten
ing up in a remarkable manner when the
scores Of associations are considered as a
whole. With q few exceptions here and
there the struggles for first places are far
closer than has been the rule for several
years. II the claim that this is a poor
financial season in baseball is correct Il Is
certain that the charge cannot be laid to
one-sided flag races In the major leagues
at least six clubs have pennant chances,
Philadelphia, Detroit and Washington are
all in the American league race and the
first four clubs in the National organiza-
ton all figure as possible winners. The
same situation exists in the Federal and
international leagues.
Races Are Very Close.
The race in tn class A organizations Is
also close. The Southern association pen
nant struggle is one OF the most interest,"
ing in years, less than loo points separating
the first six clubs. In the Western league
Denver, St Joseph, Lincoln and Sioux City
all punched and the season does not
close until September %. any one OF these
clubs may prove the flag winner. Among
the class B leagues the average is not so
close New London has good lead in
the Eastern association; Dayton in the Cen
tral league: Wilkes-Barre in the New York
league, and Davenport in the Three league
In the Texas league Beaumont, Houston
and Waco are all in the race, while Worces-
ter. Portland, Lawrence and Lynn have q
pennant chance in the New England
league.

clubs are in the flag race. there being
