SHAMROCK " GIVEN
 A SLOW TRIAL SPIN

City Island, N T.. June s.-For the first time since she arrived in this country in 1914, Sir Thomas Liptons Shamrock ", challenger for the Americas cup, was given sail-stretch- ing trial under her full racing canvas today. With the exception of a spin maker. all the sails used on a racing yacht were broken out in the lightest of light northeast airs Owing to weather conditions, the stretching process was not a great success.
 Going before the wind the yacht showed little speed. She reached, how ever, fairly well and footed in a sat isfactoryi manner when the small head sails were taken in and the ballooner set.
 The Shamrock was under said for one hour and wenty minutes.
 She then was lowed back here.
 The racing mast of the twenty-three- meter Shamrock was stepped late to- day and arrangements were made to haul her out. She probably will be ready to race by the end of the week. The Shamrock " will go out again tomorrow.

CHASE FORCED MONEY
 ON HIM. SAYS MAGEE

Magee, in his "confesSon, Heydler teS, tified. said Chase had forced money on
 him and had tempted him to gamble on
 the game. Magee, Heydler said, told him
 and Veeck that he tried to 'toss" the
 Boston game, which, however, Cincinnati
 won in the thirteenth inning. Heydler further testified that Magee
 said he became. suspicious that Chase had "doublecrossed' him, and that he stopped payment on the check he drew to make the bet. Heydler denied that
 Magee told him and Veeck that Chase had placed the bets against the Cincin- nati team instead of on the Cincinnati team and had doublecrossed'' him. The testimony of Veeck was similar to that part of Heydler's relative to the al legged confession of Magee. veeck said that he went slowly in the Magee case, because it was something entirely new to him.
 yeeck also told how at the National League meeting in New York in Decem-
 Der, 1919 President Herman, Charles
 Ebetts and himself had agreed Magee should be internationally released by the Cubs Under the agreement it was de- cided that Cincinnati and Brooklyn clubs should each pay the Cubs $2,500 to reim purse them for Magee.
 "Magee would have been released had he not confessed his betting on ball games to President Heydler and myself. veeck added, but his confession caused the Cubs to release him sooner than he
 would have been.'

Goodman testified that at Kearns' sugges- tion and with Dempsey's approval, he inserted statement that Dempsey's father. Hiram, earned $500 in 1917 at odd jobs.
 Mrs. Fred Gibson testified that Hiram Dempsey paid her SIS a month for the house occupied by the family in Salt Lake City and A. !. Auerback of the same city testified that Mrs. Fife Clarkson, Dempsey's sister, earned S12 week in hair dressing establish ment.

Magee, taking the stand in rebuttal against the charges of dishonest baseball, made in reply to his suit for $500 dam ages against the Chicago National League Club because of his unconditional release at the beginning of this season. said he and Hal Chase, the first base man for the Cincinnati team, had bet s5oo on the Cincinnati club to win that game Chase did all the talking when the bet was made, Magee testified. After the game he said he learned that the money had secretly been bet against the Cin- cinnati team, and he thereupon refused to pay the bet and stopped payment on a check which he had given.
 MAGEE SAYS HE WON
 GAME FOR THE REDS
 Magee said it was his playing which won the game. In the thirteenth inning he declared, he made a sharp hit which broke the Boston shortstops nose. He then stole second he said, and scored on Roush's home run.
 Magee was still on the witness stand when court adjourned for the day. He will continue his testimony when the trial is resumed tomorrow.
 Other witnesses today were John Heydler, president of the National League, and William Veeck, president of the Chicago National League Club.

Two U. s. Golfers Survive e Play in M uirfield Meet

Muirfield Scotland, June s.-Two
 Americans. Nelson Whitney of New Or leans and Robert A. Gardner of Chica- so survived the third round of the amateur golf championship play today. Samuel J. Graham of Greenwich, Conn, succumbed to Macdonald of Brunts | field, after having won in the second round over Leslie, Balfour- Melville, champion of 1895.
 Whitney had been putting rather poorly, but improved in his play with Fletcher of Blaekpool, in the third l rouna, defeating him up and to play. Gardner had the hardest task among the Americans today. He met Edward Blackwell of Prestwick, who has the reputation of being a long driver, but the Scotchman was outdriven by Gard ner by from 20 to 30 yards in the first | nine holes.
 Gardner made the outward journey
 in 3S, and came home in S1, for 16 holes. Whitney's match with k. Martin 1 Smith, St Georges; was one of the most | important. The latter is prominent International golfer. Whitney played perfect golf, keeping
 straight and always well up to the hole from the first tee.
 The American held the advantage ] throu ghout although at the ninth green | le drove beyond 1t into the rough.F At ] the turn he was five up, then Martin 1 Smith gained a few strokes, but at the seventeenth Whitney was ? up and
 to play.
 Whitneys score follows: l In ......... 6 5-3S i In ............ 5 6 6 4 4 4 5---37-74 ! for 17 holes.
 Gardner was in rather poor form in i tho second round against mediocre player. He was behind until the fiji teenth hole, when he took the lead and
 won on the home green. His match with Blackwell. in the third round, was
 Of better cal!bre. He won up and

SHIP SITUATION LAID
 BEFORE GOVERNOR RIGGS

GU is nothing new. The vital Gricv- ance is only on. sailing and too early. The steamship company originally ad- vcl'tised last sailing Sept 18th. Upon pressure now October 10th. Even this is not sufficient. One sailing ought 10 be had. say october 25th".
 Signed Northwestern Alaska Cham Der of Commerce.
 The net rcsults of the protests and efforts of the Chamber of Commerce may be summed up as decidedly fruit ful. The company has changed its original last sailing date Of the Victoria from Sept. l5 to October 10. Thus means that twenty five days have been added to the length of the mining per iod which would have been forced up on the miners by the company. Need less to say the added time has been of great. benefit through increasing the gold output and the earnings of labor employed in summer mining.
 The mercantile interests have also been granted additional time to Sc cure supplies for the winter. In ad dition the company has been brought to realization of the fact that {; fur ther display of such arbitrary methods will result in the diversion of Nomes

trade to other transportation chan nels. There is also some ground fo.' hope that the efforts of Governor Riggs may induce further modifica- tions of the company's attitude before the Victoria again leaves Seattle. There is no likelihood, however. that the company will grant an additional sailing. The best that can be hoped for is d further delay in the time of the last sailing. If the company can h. induced to delay the departure of the last boat to about October 25th and make the fact known in time, much of the prospective damage re sultant from its decision can be over come The latest expression of the company attitude, however, discloses that the outlook in this direction is
 hardly favorable. According to q tele- gram from the Seattle headquarters reaching Agent R. A Carroll Thurs day, the company is willing to delay the Victoria at Seattle for sufficient length of time to enable local merch- ants to get their orders filled. The message intim2ted that the company figured on sailing from that port on
 September I9, but is agreeable to wait q day or two longer if necessary.
