RIVAL YACHTS HAVE ANOTHER CLOSE RACE
Resolute and Vanitie Cross Line Side by Side-Former
 Awarded Victory


 Newport. R. L. July 1S.-The fog which has hung over this coast several days lifted today and the cup defenders sailed their tightest race, the Resolute again winning. In exact figures Resolute de- feated vanitie by 53 seconds in corrected time, while the Cochran yacht outsailed the flag officers boat Defiance by 46 seconds in elapsed time. The Resolute defeated the Defiance by two minutes and 67 seconds in elapsed time and by one minute and 56 seconds in corrected time. Resolute and Vanitie crossed the fin- ish line side by side. the former getting the first toot from the committee boat by the margin of a single second. It was the closest finish of the season.
 The course was seven miles to Point Judith whistling buoy and return with a repeat. and in greater part--it was a straight windward and leeward affair. Resolute led the entire distance, but was outsailed on three of the four legs by both Vanitie and Defiance, winning sole 1y on better work at the start, which was the hardest the shippers have tackled this season.
 Owing to the shift and different veloci- of data for the cup committee except to emphasize the fact that the boats are much better matched than was an- ticipated earlier in the season.
 All three yachts will be overhauled and will meet again July 31, on the first run of the New York Yacht club cruise.

PEACE in SIeH1

Chicago, Nov with peace in

of the American League went into
session here today behind closed
doors. Routine business was dis
posed of at the directors meeting
which preceded the league meeting.
Some of the magnates frankly dis
approved of the events which led to
the resignation of Frank Chance as
manager of the New York club and
it was said plans for shift of own
ersliip of the club would be laid be-
fore the meeting. .
The league officials generally dc,
clared themselves for peace today
but none would venture prediction
of conditions under which peace
might be made with the federal
league. One or two said they hoped
a truce might be agreed upon to pre-
vent crazy" bidding for ball players
in competition between organized
baseball and the Federal lea que.
Connie Mack, manager of the
Philadelphia Americans, it was said
would ask for some action against
Hughie Jennings, managed of the
Detroit club, whom he accuses of
breaking the league rules by giving
out information that Mack had asked
for waivers on Plank, Bender and
Coombs. ..s

tives OF the American League were in
