GOOD FOR BERMUDIANS
Spartan Players Bat Well for
122-Island Champions
Fall Quickly.

New York cricketers came of with
flying colors in the first days play In
the international game between the cham
plon Somerset eleven of Somerset. Ber-
mudn, winner Of this seasons Bermuda
cup, and the eleven representing the
Spartan Field Club OF this city. The
game was played in the presence OF a
large crowd at Lenox oval yesterday
afternoon and when stumps were drawn
for the day the home side .ad established
a big lead and will rule strong favorites
when the match is resumed at IL 80
o'clock morning.
The Spartans both outbatted and out
bowled their adversaries. making a total
OF l22 runs and then dismissing eight
OF the Somerset players for a paltry
"a runs. After the two remaining
wickets have been captured tomorrow
the Spartans will have the right to
send the Bermudians TO bat again unless
a big addition should by chance be
made to the present total.
Because OF the lack OF good turf
at Lenox oval the crease was laid on
coca mating. to which the New fork
phlyers quickly accustomed themselves.
The first wicket put on no runs. but
after that the total gradually mounted
until 1t got past the century mark, after
which the New York rooters breathed
more easily. The best stand was made for
the fall OF the seventh wicket. when +.
Kinds and J. Robinson were ,asso1 lated
and put on IS runs in partnership,
Kinds was the top scorer. with 20, while
Robinson contributed a valuabl 90. +.
Moore scored 81 run in fine style. while

successful with the ball for the West

two wickets for IA like number Of runs
The Indifferent showing OF the visit
ing batsmen was IA complete surprise
TO the onlookers. II. Holde and +.
Moore had the Somerset players entirely
at their mercy and not one OF the latter
was able to get into doubl figures.
Only 20 runs of the total of 80 were
scored from the trundllng OF these fine
bowlers. of whom Holder made a record
OF FIVE wickets for 10 uns. Moore mad
even a better average. with three wick

DEFEATS VALIANT
Hanan Steers His Yacht to
Clean Cut Victory Over
Western Rival.
SMART TRICK TURNED

CHICAGO. Sept. Addison J. Hanan's
Josephine, steered by her owner and fy-
ing the colors OF the Indian Harbor
Yacht Club. easily defeated the Price
.Syndicate's Valiant OF the Chicago Yacht
Club In to-day's initial race OF the East
Ocean Great Lakes trophies and the
American sailing championship title
that goes with them.
There was no fuke about the Con-
nectIcut boats victory. which was as
clean n cut one as ever was gained on
Lake Michigan. Josephine went into the
lead at the start OF the contest and
not only maintained the lead throughout
but made material gains on every one
OF the four legs. When the finish line
was crossed the Eastern craft had her
Western rival beaten by over Ave min
utes.
After the race Valiant's champions
had no excus to ofer and were free
10 admit that their boat had been out
sailed and that the skipper OF the local
craft had been outgeneraled. Valiant
was given the brand Of weather that WAS
supposed TO favor 1t, for a light breeze
prevailed during the greater portion OF
the contest. Josephine. which was ex-
pected to show best in moderate to
heavy winds. found the going just about
right and made the most of IT,
! Too much credit cannot be given skip
per Hanan and his crack crew OF salt
water amateurs for the sailing of a re-
markable race. Hanan, known from
coast TO coast as THE Wizard OF the

his first experience on Lake Michigan.
He sewed the race up Mt the very start
| and never tool a chance-not even when
| the proverbial miracle would have been
| necessary to swing victory toward the
side of the Chicago hope.
Skipper Price, himself al able man at
the stick, had a trick turned on him at
the start that would have taken the
heart out Of any helmsman. Before the
preparatory gun was fred from the
Judges boat Hanan crept up to the
weather OF Price and held him helpless
under his lee. He kept Valiant covered
| for nearly six minutes and when the
starting gun was fired swung over the
line to "A perfect getaway. leaving Va
liant with stick canvas astern, How

Anderson worked his hardest, but he
was outclasscd by his greater opponent
and as the match approached the end
Anderson's tee shots kept going wrong
and his play was not up to the standard
to which he had held himself earlier in
the day. But IL was Gardeners good

the title. The latter only fastened the
conclusion Of the match.
After four days OF perfect gollng

thoroughly soaked, a fact that was In
Gardeners favor, as he WAS i|ncomparably

to stir the blood OF the onlookers. but
they were doomed to disappointment.
