Vincent Astor Cup.

NEWPORT, r. L., August 1.-THE cup
boat Resolute won a race yesterday from
Nan!tie for cup presented by Vincent
Aston. and it was in northeaster that
had twelve miles or better speed in it.
The sea, too had a kick in it. At the
very start Adams laid a trap for Vanitie
and got the race.
The course was thirty-eight miles tri-
angular. one leg thirteen and a half
miles to mark off Block Island, a reach.

a half mile reach to the finish at Bren-
tons Reef lightship. 1t was a day when
two shippers, Adams and Half, had a
battle of seamanship, and on the first
leg Il lufflng match took both yachts
nearly four points high of their course.
Adams drew Haff into the trap and won
his race right there.
At the first mark the Resolute was
bed around the park at Al Al, with
Eanitie in her wake turning at AS rs.
In the eighteen-mle beat Vanitie and
Resolute tackled nineteen times. tack for

and at the windWard mark had gained
one minute and twenty-three seconds, and
was only two minutes and twenty-one
seconds behind.
Both yachts overstood this mark and
turned as follows. Resolute. 4 :07 10:
Vanitie, :09 81.
Half and his crew had led sails better
on the start for the finish. and his bal

Resolute had hers on. Nanitle appeared
much faster on windward work. and gain

RI. MURRAY FOR TITLE
Californians Will Decide New York
Tennis Championship at

NEW YORK, August 5.-For the fourth
consecutive year the New York state
lawn tennis championship in singles may
go to the Pacific coast. Maurice E. Nc
Loughlin. the national title holder and R.
Lindley Murray of Leland Stanford Uni
versty. metropolitan champion, will play
the final round this afternoon on the
Crescent Athletic Club courts. at Bay
Ridge. Should Mclaughlin defeat the
young studentfi and. according to form.
he will. the crescent bowl will find a
permanet home in San Francisco, as
the lnationa champion has two legs
on it and requires victory to-
day to become the absolute possessor of
the trophy. \ victory for Murray will
keep the championship trophy in compe-
tition for at least another year.

So So. SO. S-3. The latter match re-
solved itself into a contest between youth
and experience, and the latter won out
after the best battle witnessed in this
years championship tournament.
Whatever hopes Inman entertained in
the direction of having his name en-
graved on the bowl for the second time
were quickly dispelled. as Mclaughlin
captured the first set. 6-1. allowing his
opponent only Is points. The champion
slowed up perceptibly in the second set
and tried a number of side line shots.
1t was noticeable that Mclaughlin rarely
attempted a backlland stroke. The cham
pion made number of brilliant shots
in the third set. and ended the contest al
most as fresh as when he started.
The match was witnessed by Otto

KINGS OF CIRCUIT DRIVES.
Cravath, Luderus and Magee of
Phillies Are the Monarchs.

Although the Phillies undoubtedly will
not win the pennant this season, they
have title to protect which has popu-
larized them at home and abroad.
Doon's men are the home run monarchs
of base ball collectively, and in Cravath,
Luderus and Magee. Philadelphia boasts
of three of the individual kings Of the
circuit drives.
Last season Cravath led the major
leagues with nineteen homers, Luderus
was second with eighteen and Magee
was fifth with eleven. Safer of the Chi
interference fourteen times. while ].
Franklin Baker of the Athletics led the
American League with twelve four-base
knocks. They were the only big league
batsmen to surpass Magee.
However, it is safe to say, since the
figures prove 1t, that Cravath. Luderus,
and Magee form the champion home-run
trio on one team in the base ball world.
Not only last season. but throughout
their base ball careers the Phils' big
drives In three seasons previous to the
present campaign Luderus totaled forty
four homers and Cravath thirty-three.
Magee was at it longer and in eight
campaigns drove the pail OUTSIDE the
park fifty times.
This season the men started as if they
were going to break records Luderus
quickly got ten homers, Cravath slammed
out eight and Magee. aIter nItlnR Two

give Ludy ten. Gavvy eight and Sher-
wood eight. Safer not only is credited
with the respectable total of twelve but
bids fair to top the Quakers at the finish
of the season unless they begin to drive
the ball harder.
Last season the Doom entry in the Ma
tional race kept the official scorers busy
marking down four-base hits, seventy

and they were second. The Athletics.

pire had struck Morgan.
Yesterday Ainsmith received letter
from the head of the league commencing
him for making his honest statement and
assuring him that this fact had reduced
the ma gnitude Of his offense. 1t Is taken
to mean that Ainsmith will not he out
as long as il is generally believed. Morgan
has now been out five days and it is be-
lieyed that his return to the lineup is
but a question of hours. Morgan is badly
missed. for Griffith seems to have no one
who can fill Morgans shoes.
There were fifteen bases on balls in YES
tcrday's game. Bochling and Morton each
gave seven. while Shaw handed out one
during the few minutes he was on the
slab.
George Mcbride undoubtedly prevented
Joe Boehling from being scored on in the

Olson on and. after two hands mad been

There was mingling of misses and

WORLDS BASE BALL
TOUR PROVED BENEFIT
Players Who Visited Foreign Lands
Have Improved Over Past
Seasons.

Hughie Jennings fears were ground
less The world tourist ball players
seem to have been benefited by their
jaunt through foreign lands instead OF
harmed by the continuous ball playing.
Hughie, early in the spring. felt sure
that the continuous playing" would put
the damper on the efforts of the stars in
the regular 1914 season. And early in
the season 1T did look as If Hughie was
right, because some of the players who
were on the tour were far below their
normal form. But they have rounded
TO- and now are breezing along at even
faster clip than in other years.
Iris Speaker of the Red Sox got away
to bad start this year in the batting
line. but about month ago he began
clubbing them out with all his old
time skill. The same is true of Larry
Doyle of the Giants. Larry foundered
along for the first six weeks. but since
then has been hitting 'em to all sections
of the field and fielding and running in
q sensational manner.
