NO WORD FROM
THE SHAMROCK "
Whereabouts of Challen-
ger for the Americas
Cup a Mystery.

If Sir Thomas Lipton's yacht Sham
rock w and her convoy, the steam
Yacht Erin, have not been captured as
prizes by a German cruiser both boats
should reach Sandy Hook to-day or to-
morrow at the latest, judging from
the speed they made between Falmouth
and the Azores and from the time maze
BIZ the former Shamrocks IN their
passages across the Atlantic.
II was supposed until yesterday that
the yacht and her convoy mad pIt oacH
TO Fayal. in the Azores, when Colonel
Tuncan Neill. who IS in charge Of the
expedition. was informed, through the
Erin's wireless, that England was at
war with Germany. 10 now appears
however, that no definite news from
Fayal regarding the yacht has reached
SIR Thomas Upton or his ONCE IN New
York.
"The last news we had Of the Sham
rock and the Erin" said Mr.. Crane, SIR
Thomas's manager in New York, was
that they left Fayal at o'clock on the
morning Of July %. Since then we have
tried in vain 10 locate her by wireless.
Yachtsmen here believe that the
Erin and her charge are heading Tor
either Halifax, New York or Bermuda.
One member of the New York Yacht
Club said yesterday:
"The German cruisers are too busy
| heading Off the ocean liners and dodg-
| ing the British cruisers to bother
about the Erin and the Shamrock, and
I think Colonel Neill is just clever
enough to elude the enemy and slip
into New York one of these dark
nights and anchor in Gravesend Bay"
/ The Shamrock w and the Erin left
/ Falmouth on July 81. They covered
| the distance from there to Fayal in
seven days and three hours. At that
port half of the Shamrock's crew, which
/ had travelled as passengers on the
Erin. was transferred to the yacht, TO
sail her for the balance of the trip to
New York. Among them, working as
an able seaman for his health, is the
Earl of Hardwicke, who was formerly
a miner in Montana, and who is so
keen on yachting that he hoped to be
rated as one of the Shamrock's crew
when she raced for the Americas Cup
Charles +. Nicholson, the yachts
designer; William p. Burton, Eng
lands crack amateur helmsman, VINO
was to steer the yacht in the big race
and Captain Turner, her navigator
also are said 20 be on the Shamrock ~
on her ocean trip. The yachts jury RIG
is that of ketch. Two of her racing
masts and some smaller spars arrived
in New York on July q on board the
Minnewaska, of the Atlantic Transport
Line They were taken to Shewan':
docks, in South Brooklyn, to await the
arrival of the yacht.
Up to a late hour last night no new:
lad been received at the New Yorl
Yacht Club from either Sir Thomas
Upton or the Royal Ulster Yacht Clut
regarding the postponement of the
Americas Cup race for 1914. II is no
thought, however, in view of the state
ment of Sir Thomas that he had with
drawn the yacht after England's decla
ration of war, that the New York Yaeh
Club would insist on race.

BESSIE PANDIT
SHOWS In FRONT
Old Speedway Favorite Is
a Winner at the
HOhOkuS Fair.

Racing at the Hohokus track yester-
day proved to be the best which has
been seen at the Metropolitan circuit
meeting.
Eleven heats were necessary to de-
eide the three races which were on the
card.
One of the old Speedway favorite5,
Bessie Pandit, was in a measure re
sponsble for this just because she
could not see her way clear to let the
2:l3 pace go to the black mare, Susie
NJ, uncontested.
Susie, who was in the hands Of j..
Sunderlin, won the first heat in 2:llSi !,
and then, just to show that she had
not half tried, she stepped the next
heat in 2:08A.
Little Bessie got the position next
to the pole horse after the second heat,
and with this advantage she had no
trouble in winning the next three
heats, which meant first money. Bud
Murray, who handled the bay getting
Elisha Jay, captured second honors IN
the first heat and again in the third,
fourth and fifth heats.

Brookes and Wilding Beat

Doubles Match.
BRITISH TEAM PROVES
TO BE EASY VICTIM

Executes His Shots with
Remarkable Speed.

INAPPROPRIATE. the British Isles duo,
+hfs afternoon on the champion nip
court OF the Longwood Cricket Club.
Thc margin Of the Australasians was
81. 60, Ga, and by this victory
they clinched their right to meet the
American defenders of the Davis Cup
in the challenge round next week at
Forest Hills.
BY their showing to-day the mea
from the other side OF the world gave
evidence that they are almost certain

team this country can send against

his two singles matches ard Williams
showing against BrOokes and Wlldirg
must therefore rest the hopes OF tnlS
country for retaining the Davis bowl.
10 Is the opinion Of experts who
have watched the two days play that
Mclaughlin might be successful
against both the Australasians, al
though il is thought Brookes's chances
are a little better than even. II IS not
believed, however, that Williams will
do better than possibly win his match
from Wilding.
L. s. Team Faces Hard Task.
Robert y. Wrenn, George T. Adee,
Mclaughlin, Bundy and Williams we're
an in attendance this afternoon, and

food for serious thought. They saw
two men who covered every inch Of
their court. who annihilated almost
every shot before IL had fairly reached
their side OF the net. and who rained
wonderful placement shots into every
unprotected hole IN the opposing
court, no matter how small the open
ing.
Brookes was by far the most brill
liant OF the four men on the court. He
was in perfect form as 10 eye, stroke
and judgment and executed his shots
with such remarkable speed as TO com
uictely dismay ParEe and Mavfogor-
dato
No more perfect day for the matches
could have been desired. While feecy
clouds chased each other through the
b,Bc Ky. gentle. cooling breeze lifted
tie British and American flags from
o. -yles and sent them s-hutteriag.

line. Jamaica Plain and the nearby
summer resorts were crowded in the
stands
For the moment the game held sway
over everybody, and war, baseball,
business cares and the dull routine Of
daily life were forgotten. The north
and west stands were a riot Of brill
liant coloring, set in a background Of
giant trees. and the famous Longwood
turf was lightning fast.
The Erglishmen won the toss ard

Brookes elected TO serve, with the
giant Wilding taking his position
within three feet Of the net. Parke

snuffing nervously as he veered to

right and left, trying to anticipate
where Brookes was going to place bis
service.
The bail twisted like snake as It
left the Australasian captains racquet.
For moment Parke thought it was
going 20 his forehand, but suddenly II
curved 10 the left and landed Clearly
on the centre line. Bang! Parke swept
at the ball with a powerful swing, but
il landed in the net, whence many
more were destined TO end their fight.
Mavrogordato Cheered.
Little Mavrogordato, hardly moro than
1--WE feet in height, waited timidly Tor
his chance at Brookes's mystifying
service, and earned waves of applause
from the thousands in the stands by
shooting the bail clearly between the
Australasians for a pass.
Early in the struggle it was plain
that Brookes and Wilding were out
to show their real strength, and they
played with ever increasing speed.
Sizzling rallies took place between the
four men, with Brookes usually ending
them by serving the ball so sharply
across the court as to almost touch the
net as it travelled to the side aisles.
Both the Australasians were strik-
ing the ball viciously, even when they
had il overhead, and seemed to have
lost their extreme caution of yester-
day.
Brookes stood further from the net
than Wilding, but his movements were
quicker and nothing could get by him.
The ball often went back and forth
over the net twenty times without
touching the ground, and all the
while the Australasians were fighting
their way ever closer to the barrier
and forcing their opponents backward
TO their base line.
After a few of these exchanges the
Englishmen, apparently blinded by the
speed Of the stroking, for a moment
would lose their heads. Brookes it
was who generally flashed to the fore
at these times and scored with beauti-
full placement shots to the extreme
confines Of the court, while Parke or
