Charles M Schwab, director general of government
ship building, says more ships are being built in the
United States than the submarines can possibly sink"
If this e the ship shortage should grow rapidly less
for England building many vessels and is Japan At
least million and half tons year should be added to
the available ships, if the building in the United States
only keeps even with the submarine sinkngs This makes
the situation far more cheerful as the really
most dangerous feature of all the ship shortage
which If kept up increased would diminish our power
to send troops to France or to maintain ever increasing
armies Ships and more ships has been the cry and now
it seems we are getting them in increasing numbers

Altair Wins Race
 In Heavy DownpOur

Port Washington, L. l., Aug. b. Despite a heavy downpour shippers here participated in one of the series of interclub championship races in the star class yesterday afternoon. The 15 stars covered the first half of the six mile Journey before the storm broke. They succeeded in making the triangular course once when the downpour drenched them.
 Sailing the Altair, Edwin V. Willis led all the way. He was 31 seconds ahead of the Hydra, owned and sailed by Charles E. Hyde, at the first half mark and gained on the second round, leading the Hyde boat home by one minute and 31 seconds. A strong southwest wind was blowing when the yachts crossed the line and some of the fastest time of the season was made in the race for the first half. The yachts sailed over the three mile triangular course, which took them from the Port Washington Yacht clubs mark off the clubhouse to a buoy off Plum Island and thence to a buoy off Plandome and return to the starting point.
 William [. Inslee in the Shadow and flying the colors of the Bayside Yacht club finishted third behind the twp Port Washington club yachts. Theodore Roosevelt Pel1 in the Half Moon and flying the colors of the Manhasset Bay Yacht club finished | fourth.

SIX RECORDS FALL
 AT SARATOGA
In Three Days Races Six Marks Have Been
 Shattered.

Saratoga Springs, N. Y. Aug. b. Not in the memory of the oldest liv- ing race goer have records fallen with such rapidity and regularity as they did last week in the first week of racing at the Spas famous course. In three days six marks were shattered and most were those which had been written into turf history years ago and had stood off the speed and stamina of thousands of great thor ougbreds.
 On the opening day Panaman and Roamer made new figures. The next day Lacework and Polymelian shocked father time and Saturday Sticking and Enfilade sped around the track in unprecedented time. In the opinion of expert trainers here, they are only a few of the horses which will hang up new marks during the meeting.
 Besides the records, the meeting has brought forth the best two-year-old of the season. He is Billy Kelly, the unattracdve looking little gelding which won the Flash and the United States Hotel Stakes. He came out of the West heraIded as a wonder, but the skeptical Fasteners betlittled his past performances, and before his vic tories in the Flash and the United States Hotel Stakes, all predicted he would have no chance against the re- nowned juveniles in this section of the country. But after he had galloped off with these two rich stakes and easily defeated his fields, the Eastern CTS declared that they had been shown a great colt and probably the greatest of the year.
 | What Billy Kelly Is to the juveniles, Rcamer is among the handicap horses. This -year-old son of Knight Errant and Rosetree II. Is as good as when he was the undisputed title holder in 1915. He regained the title ] by his record breaking performances in the Saratoga Handicap, when he defeated the best distance horses in training, including the mighty Cud- gel. In that race he carried only five pounds less than Cudgel and gave Commander Ross's colt a ten pound beating. In accomplishing this feat he hung up new figures for the one mile and a furlong course. His right
 to the title will be challenged later al the meeting by Cudgel, but in the opinion of a majority of the experts he can beat Cudgel or any other horse
 in training if he retains his present
 condition.
 This week gives promise of furnish
 ing even greater contests.

CLUB OWNERS TO RUN LEAGUE.
"Johnson's Bossisn is Over," Declares Frazee,
 Comiskey and Griffith.

Cleveland, Aug. 5-Before leaving for their homes early yesterday morn Ing following the meetings of the American League and the National Confusion Harry Frazee of Boston, Charles Comiskey of Chicago and Clark Griffith of Washington issued a declaration if independence as re- gards the bossing of the American League by Ban Johnson. Several other owners are understood to coin eide in the opinion of the three men toned. The declaration was prompt ed by the action of Johnson in warn ing the owners to shut down all base ball activities by Sept. 1, as ordered by Secretary of War Baker.
 When asked last night how 1t was that the American League decided to play its scheduled games until Sept. in face of his advance prediction that the league would close on August 20, Johnson said:
 If the club owners wish to take a chance with the government that is their business"
 That statement met the disapprovaI of Frazee, Comiskey and Griffith and they issued the following statement: ''The declaration by President John son that we are taking a chance o1 contining the season, inferring we were defying the War Department, i: an unwarranted mistatement of facts We have no wish to antagonize the War Department, for which we have | the greatest respect.
 "Just why President Johnson should take the stand as he did in thi. | matter is beyond our comprehension We believe he always has acted hon estly in the interests of the American League, but he has bungled the affair." l of his league in this case. He ha! tried to close our gates several time this season, but from now on he i | through spending our money. ''The club owners are going to rul l the American League in the future | We criticise Mir. Johnson merely a
 an official. We have nothing agains

 intend to take a hand in the man

Bill Skiff who done the catching for the locals, put up nice game behind the bat.
 Horkheimer played short for th. New Haven team and besides hand ling eight chances in the field with out a mishap, he received fouu hits. Bridgeport was well represented in the visitors lineup, six local men up- holding the baseball honors for New Haven. They all aided materially in the downfall of the Bridgeport ag- gregation. -
 The Murlins scored their winning tally in the fifteenth, when Hork- Eeimer started the fireworks with l bingle to left and advanced to second on Clark's bunt. Ferguson made d | wild peg to Lai in attempting to catch Horky, but the ball went to center field. Horkheimer went to third and Clark to second.

John Reisler is at war with Jack Dempsey again it seems. This time lawn is going to haul his fleeing war rior to the Jersey courts in suit for breach of contract. The amount claimed is $1OO,OOO. Not figure to be sneezed at IF Jay collects.
 It was thought that the pair had patched up their difficulties, but this latest appeal to the Law Horrible is a renewal of the feud. There was a merry row over the division of the spells after Dempsey had fattened Fred Fulton at Harrison, and there upon lawn vowed he would stir up the Law H. in Jersey, which is hor- nets nest at best. This time it Is cer- tain that Reisler will play out the string. He still holds his contract for Dempsey's services, and armed with that hew i'll haunt the new fistic sen sation's footsteps no matter where he may alight to fight.

Coveleskie Hurls Low Hit
 Games on His Birthday

There is no merrier little birthday celebrater than Stanley Coveleskie, of the Cleveland Indians. Pitching low hit games and shut-outs on his anni- versarics are his specialties.
 Stanley, who has been in more tight battles this year than any one else on either circuit, was 27 years old a week ago Thursday, and to celebrate the event let the Yankees down with three blows and won over Joe Fin ner-an of tallow ball fame, 1 to 0. All the hits were singles.
 In 1917 Lee Fohl also pitched Cove leskie on his birthday, Washington being Cleveland's opponent. Stanley outpitched Jim Shaw and Bert Galia and triumphed, to 0. The Nationals made four safeties, but all were of the one base variety.
 Coveleskie made no hits the day he was 26 years old, but on the after noon he reached his 27th milestone he banged out two and scored the bachelor run of the fray.

 Anderson was better acquainted with the course than his partner and ,rarried his sido through many tight places He was around in "A. He got the best soore of the four. Travers came to his rescue on two holes when needed badly. Ouimet was the next best, with a 76, but his driving was far steadier than the others. Guil- ford was wild at times, but showed lnashes of his old form from the tee.
