RECORD TO NAVY CREW.:
KELLY SOULS WINNER

BRUSSELS, August 30.-Navy's val
liant eight and Jack Kelly, Vesper
star sculler, today are sharing the
plaudits of European rowing en-
thusiasts, not to mention the praises
being heaped upon them by their adj
miring fellow countrymen. Con-
tending in the finals of the Olympic
regatta yesterday, Uncle Sans Mid
shipmen set world record, when
they swept to victory in the classic
2.000-meter event for eight-oared
shells, while the vesper flyer clearly
OUTRAGED his field in the diamond
SOULS. 1t was a great day all the
way for Yankee entries. as they won
three of the four finals they rowed
in and finished second in the fourth.
Plenty of strange money is now
nesting in American pockets as a
result of the decisive victories. The
Europeans backed to the limit the
famous Leander crew, composed of
former Oxford and Cambridge Uni
versity men and strongly favored J.
Beresford, jr.. the British representa-
tive and winner of the diamond SOULS
at the Henley regatta. Triumph over
such sturdy opposition pleased the
American contingent more than any
other successes they have enjoyed in
the Olympiad
The Leander crew took a slight lead
which it increased to half a length at
the 1000 meters. Both crews were
rowing thirty eight strokes to the
minute. Here the American midship-
men increased their power, and, after
each crew had alternately taken the
lead. sDurted ahead $50 meters from
the finish.
The Americans won bv a half length
sitting up and fresh. while the Eng
lish eight crossed the line bent over
and utterly rowed out. The Annapo-
lis crew finished in 6:05 for new
worlds record for 1000 meters. Eng
lands time was 6:5 As.

it was a hard race. Beresford jumped

GIANTS STILL CLIMBING
Gothamites Only Half Game Back
of Dodgers as Result of Drub-
bling Given Reds.

Sweeping the series with the Reds,
the Giants made the National League
pennant race about as close as the
paper on the wall. While McGraw's
climbers were putting a crimp in the
flag aspirations of the world cham
pions yesterday the Cubs smote the
pace-setting Dodgers. AS result
Brooklyn is clinging to the top of
the ladder with a meager one-game
hold. and the second-place Reds have
only an eyelash advantage over the
Giants. Given one more point in the
standing statistics and the New York
hrelings would be roosting ahead of
the rarin'- to-repeat Reds and right
on the heels of the Brooklyn repre-
sentatives.
An avalanche of hits that over
whelmed Ring in the fifth inning
gave the Giants three runs, but Jim
my came back for more and got it
to the tune of 4 to /. This lone tally.
CLEANED off Barnes in the eighth,
was the first scoring done by the
Reds IN thirty-four innings.
Terry's two-base hit, that chased
Tyler home after one was out in the
ninth,s gave the Cubs a 4-to3 win
over the Dodgers. Mamaux was
reached for an early lead, but the
Brooklynites plugged along to tie
| the score at sail in the eighth.
The Cards scored an easy S-to-2
| triumph over the Phillies. Hubbell
was a mark for the st. Louis bats
men, yielding sixteen hits. North was
effective in pinches. Fourier, Card
| first baseman, continued his heavy
sticking. with a double and three sim
giles in four times up.

YANKS AGAIN CHALLENGE
Climb to Within Game and a Half
Of Leading White Sox, Wallop-
ing Pet Jinx, Shocker.

New York's entry in the American
League championship campaign again
is challenging seriously for the John
sonian circuit lead. Regarded as fin
lshed when in the threes of a. terrible
pitching slump last week, the Yanks
have come back with a vengeance.
Yesterday they up and walloped Ur-
ban Shocker, Brown moundsman. who
has been their pet jnx all season.
Chasing this hoodoo to cover boosted
the Yankees into second place above
the dropping Indians and left the
White Sox just a game and a half to
the good in front of the procession.
Aaron Ward spilled the beans for
Shocker. After he had struck out
three times, the Yankee third sacker
came up in the ninth and laced a
wo-bagger that scored Lewis with
the decisive tally in the 4-3 engage
ment. Quinn, after driving a homer
that counted a runner ahead to put
the Yanks in the lead in the fifth, be-
came a target for Brown clubmen in
the sixth and gave up three runs.
Mays stepped into the breach and
checked the batting spree.

FOR CANADIAN YACHT.
Upton Is Asked Not to Compete
for Americas Cup.

MONTREAL, August 30.-A change
from a semi-inside to an altogether
outside sailing course and for an
entirely different class of yacht is
sought by A. c. Ross, Canadian
yachtsman. who would have Do
minion craft contend for the Amer
ica's cup in the next series of races
for the trophy. Ross is promoter of
a scheme under which a Canadian
yacht, publicly subscribed for and
to be designed, manned and skippered
by Canadians, would compete through
a recognized yacht club.
In an open letter, Sir Thomas Lip
ton, owner of the vanquished Sham
rock ". has been urged to withdraw
his declared intention to compete
again for the cup in 1921 or 1922, in
favor of a Canadian challenger, or to
agree to a proposal to make the next
race a triangular affair. Sir Thomas
is also requested to press upon the
New York Yacht Club the desirable
ity of changing the course and style
of craft that an opportunity may
be offered for a prime test of both
construction and seamanship.
