GERMANY MAY SEND
SUBMARINES BY RAIL
TO SWEEP CHANNEL
Overland Trip to Belgian

LONDON. oct. IS.

LONDON, oct. 1s
A widely circulated rumor in London
declares that the Germans expect to
transport by rail to places on the Belgian
and French coasts number OF subma-
rines with which to attack the British
fleet
The feasibility OF Transporting subma-
rines overland is declared by a we'll
known American engineer here who has
had considerable to do with the study OF
submarines and the handling Of subma-
rine mines. He said:
"Gt would be possible to transport SUBJ
marines by rail from Germany to the
Belgian and French coasts once the rail-
road lines were secured; but after reach-
ing the coast, then would come a problem
of escaping British war vessels or mino
fields"
Rumors are that the Germans may try
to send submarines from near the mouth
of the Schedt.
WASHINGTON, Oct. fs
United states naval officers expect Ger
many TO get one or more of her subma-
rines from her base off the island OF
lteliguland, in the North Sea, to Antwerp,
Belgium, on the River Scheldt and to
attempt 70 harass the British Govern
ment by attacking vessels plying between
+ rance ana bnSlanu ana lne DIllisn war
ships in the English Channel.
Regarding the transportation of sub
marines by rail, one said:
"If there are no tunnels or narrow
bridges on the railroads between the point
where the submarines would be loaded
and their destination, submarines could
be transported by rail-
The German Embassy stated that there
Is a railroad devoid of tunnels running
from Hamburg to Antwerp.

LARCHMONT TRIAL
RACES CANCELLED
Cup Defence Yachts Not to
Sail on the Sound on
july 3 and 4.

It was learned yesterday from yachts
man, who is in close touch with the own
ers of all three cup defence yachts, that
by mutual consent of the owners the
races scheduled for these yachts on July
and 4, under the management Of the
American and LaTchmont Yacht clubs, re-
spectively, have been cancelled. 1t has
been agreed, according to the statement
made, that Immediately after the New
York Yacht Clubs race off Glen Cove on
July 2 the Resolute will be towed to
Bristol The Defiance and the Vanite
will 20 to City Island TO be hauled out
and cleaned. on the morning of July 4
they will be put in the water again and
lowed at once to Newport, 10 be ready for
the important series OF trial races that
are to, begin there on the morning or
July Z.
IT was found that it would be practical
~ impossible for the yachts to race on
July and 1 and receive proper cleaning
in time 10 be ready for the Newport races,
because it requires a full day to tow to
that port.
The Resolute, which arrived from the
east at City Island soon after noon yester-
day, was hauled out on Jacobs marine
railway at o'clock in the evening. Her
hull appeared to be in fine condition, but
q gang OF men will begin polishing her
bronze underbody this morning, and BY
knocking-off tir1e she should shine like a
mirror. The yacht is TO remain on the
WAYS until Monday morning.
Fittings for the stem head OF the De-
lance. which arrived from Bath yester-
day, together with the steering gear were
put In place during the day by men from
the Jacobs shipyard. 1t is expected that
the yacht will be ready for a trial spin
by Monday morning.
on account Of the work necessary to
adjust the fittings on the main boom and
eaff of the Vanitie. that yacht lay at
anchor all day yesterday. She probably
will have a trial spin to-day. 1t is now
believed that all three yachts will start
I'm the Indian Harbor Yacht Clubs race

When the golfers gathered for the morn
ing matches Graham was opposed to Max
r. Marston, OF Paltusrol. in one half OF
the semi-fnal round. and Birmingham
had as an opponent L. NJ. Richmond. or
Oakland, in the other. Had Marston been
able to supplement his brilliant long game
with anything like consistent iron shots
there would doubtless have been a differ
ent story TO tell. AS II was, the Baltusrol
man found himself { down at the hf-

to pull the match out OF the fire.
He got fine at the fifteenth by lay
ing an iron shot dead. while another az

abled him to win that hole from Graham.
The long seventeenth also suited Marston'
who was nearly hole high on his second
shot, and he got 4. Graham was be-
ginning to look worried as he played the
home hole, but Marston failed on his
putting, so that the hole went to Graham,
who won the match by 2 UP.
Birmingham was always too steady for
Richmond, who found himself continually
playing out OF trouble
In the final Birmingham started indif-
ferently by losing the first hole against
Graham. There was a strong headwind,
which may have prevented the WySagal

three occasions Had Birmingham not
missed a two-foot put on the ninth green
