JOSEPHINE HUMBLES
WESTERN RIVAL AGAIN
Gains Second Leg on Cup From
Valiant-ShOws Decisive
Superiority.

CHICAGO, Sept. 6.-Addlson e.
Hanan's sloop Josephine OF the indian
Harbor Yacht Club gained another leg
on the Manhasset and Ocean-Great
Lakes trophies this afternoon. when she
defeated the Price S~yndicate's Valiant
of the Chicago Yacht Club in the sec
ond race of the series for the American
sailing championship,
The result was much the same as In
tho opening contest on Saturday, when
the Connecticut yacht went into the
lead at the start n maintained it's adj
vantage throughout. In to-day's race
Price OF the Valiant beat the visiting
boat over the starting line in the finest
getaway ever seen in a local race, but
with conditions identically the same for
each craft. Josephine slipped away,
thereby demonstrating pretty conclu-
sively that the salt water boat is faster
than its fresh water rival.
The work Of Skipper Hanan and his
crew was absolutely perfect, but It is not
likely the Eastern sextet would rave
been able to win out had they been
switched to the Western craft, with the
local crew handling the boat from the
Atlantic seaboard. The work of skipper
Price and his Chicago crew was excel
tent ana their deteat must he lalu 10 the
fact that they were handling a yacht
considerably slower than Josephine,
which so far in the series has demon
strated that she IL one of the smartest
racing boats of all time.
In the light to moderate breezes that
have prevailed in the two races 1t has
been proved that Valiant Is no match for
Josephine. II is not known how the
yachts would compare in heavier going
Champions of both boats are hoping for
a good smashing blow for to-day's ON
test. Just tn satisfy their curiosity.
Should the Josephine win again to-
morrow afternoon the series would be
ended and the Manhassett trophy,
brought here two years ago by the
M~ichicago, would go back East. together
with the new Ocean-Great Lakes cup.
IL the Valiant wins It will still have
an outside chance for the necessary trio
of victories.
Yesterdays race was sailed around a
triangular course Of three miles To tho
leg, twice over. making a distance of
eighteen miles. The Valiant failed to
show a gain on any one Of the six legs.
but held tho Josephine to a closer mar
gin than in the opening race. when tho
visitor won out by nearly five minutes.

IS TO 8 AS PROPORTION
ON HOUSE COMMITTEES

Thirteen democrats and eight repub-
licans to the big committees of the
House probably will be the proportion
to be fixed by the majority party. de-
spite the protests Of the republicans.
This will include the ways and means
committee. appropriations, naval, mill
tary. District of Columbia and a few
others.
Three democrats voting with the
minority on this basis will defeat any
party measure by eleven to ten. The
republicans have determined to use as
a precedent anything that the demo-
Gratis do with their present small House
majority. For instance, should the next
House be republican by ever SO small
a margin, the republicans now plan
to take the same course as the demo-
mittee proportions so as to insure
party control.
Four years ago the democrats had
planned thirteen to eight membership
on the large committees Representa-
tive Adamson of Georgia today said
that some one with superstitious
turn of mind upset that plan by point
ing out that thirteen was an unlucky
number. The proportion was then
made fourteen to seven.
Since that time said the Georgia
member, L have convinced many men
here that since l came into the world
on the 18th day of the month all
previous ideas as to its unlucky quail
ties have been dispersed and now thir-
teen is the most gorgeous number in
all mathematics"
