day and his overthrow came as a big
surprise.
But Mcmahon played superb game
yesterday that would have done credit

golfer. At the end of the morning

Jones managed to even matters 10

Mcmahon got back the lead at the

Cup Challenger
Again Outsails
Her Trial Boat
Upton Sees Shamrock "
Cross Finish Line Ahead
by Over Eight Minutes
By Jack Lawrence

Sir Thomas Upton saw his Shamrock
~, challenger for the Americas Cup,
IN the snappiest workout she has had
under racing canvas in American wa
ters yesterday afternoon when she de-
feated her 23-meter trial boat in
rwentymile race off Sandy Hook.
The starting line was abeam the Am
brose lightship and the course took the
two green sloops to a mark near the
whistling buoy of South Long Beach
and return. The time by which the
challenger outsailed her running mate
was just about enough TO overcome the
handicap she will have to concede the
American defender in the cup races,
with a sufficient margin left over to
give her victory.
The giant-sparred cup hunter led the
trial boat over the line by 8 minutes
10 seconds, actual time. The time al
lowance she will have to concede the
American defender will be in the
nIeighborhood Of seven minutes. This
line OF comparison. although it led to
much speculation among the yachting
fans who followed the racers yester
day in d feet of power boats, carries
but little weight. as it is generally ad-
mitted that the 23meter boat Is not
capable of anything like the speed of
either the Resolute or Nanitie.
Takes In Club Topsail
The sudden dousing OF the tower
ing club topssil was something of
a disappointment to the racing
sharps who were on hand to see
the contest. as it was the first
time the challenger had given this
delicate wing a real test 1t was evil
dent, however, that Captain W P.
Burton, the Shamrock's amateur skip
per, was inclined to take no chances
with his sky-scraping canvas. for when
the ten-mile breeze out of the north
northwest began to get puffy and in
crease in velocity he quickly substi-
tuted a working topsail and finished the
race with it,
On the homeward leg the breeze was
sufficiently strong to keep the lee rails
of both yachts we'll awash and it was
evident that the fourth Shamrock took
kindly to the heavy going. There was
a fairly heavy ground swell running
and the challenger made very favor
able impression by the smooth way in
which she weathered the seas.
The trial boat got away 70 a bad
start and it appeared as though she
was out of the running for the rest of
actually outsailed the challenger max
ing up minute and "a seconds in the
run to the outer mark The boats were
close aboard as they rounded the first
turn, the Shamrock going about at
1929 3S and the trial horse at $4,000.
The rather superior showing of the
23-meter craft in the first leg was due
to clever sail handling by her crew.
In this part of the race the men on the
challenger appeared to be slow in put
ting commands into effect.

Mishap to Vanite

NEWPORT, r. l., June 22.-The first
real accident the Vanitc has had since
she became a candidate for the honor
of defending the Americas Cup made
it necessary to call off the tenth trial
race with the Resolute, scheduled for
this afternoon.
The Vanite was approaching the
starting line and jockeying with the
Resolute for the weather berth when
strand in her starboard shroud
parted and she was forced TO withdraw
She was towed back to Brenton's Cove,
where the work of repairing the break
was started mediately.
The accident cost the cup candidates
one Of the best racing days they have
had since their arrival here. A 15-
knot breeze was blowing and there

HIDDEN TREASURES IN

FRED VETTER was told this story
by a Baltimore friend, and he's afraid
it's going to start a big rush Of
Washington fishermen to the waters
around Baltimore: Two men fishing
in the river near Baltimore struck
something. hauled in, and found the
hook sunk into the end OF a one-inch
rope. Hauling the rope tight it was
evident they could not handle what
was attached to it, So they fastened
the rope to the motorboat and pulled
into shallow water. They found the
rope to be part of a sling and within
the sling were three cases OF Scotch
whiskey. The cargo had apparently
been put overheard by some sailor,
