was crowded, and the figure of the per-
sistent challenger for the America S
Cup was made out on the bridge near
the quartermaster. A brief glance
seemed to satisfy all on board that the
Shamrock " was beaten and, beaten
hopelessly without even the time al
lowance. The attitude Of the steam
yacht itself seemed to indicate depres-
sion as it dropped behind and the rae
ing boats sped on toward the stake.
The cry was first raised from the
bridge Of the destroyer SHINES.
"Somethlng is happening to the Reso-
lutte! Then quickly and spontaneously
came the shout, "Why don't thew do
something? What are they waiting
for?"
1t was impossible to have done any,
thing. according to statement from
Captain Adams, for the throat halyards
had broken near the winch. and the

By Jack Lawrence

Shamrock ~ won the first leg on the
Americas Cup yesterday afternoon,
when Resolute's gaff collapsed and
forced her to withdraw from the
race Immediately after she had
turned the outer mark. When the
accident forced victory upon her Sir
Thomas Lipton's challenger was badly
beaten boat. She had been outsailed,
outmaneuvered and outgeneraled by
her American opponent and faced GER
tain. defeat when the Resolute's VIC
torious flight was suddenly cut short
and she crumpled up like wounded
duck.
AS q test Of speed the honors in yes
terday's struggle unquestionably go to
Resolute. AS a test of seaworthiness
and stanchness the honors belong to
Shamrock
Resolute would not have needed her
handicap Of seven minutes and one
second to win. When her gaff came
down, bringing the club of the topsail
with it, she was between a half and
quarters of a mile in the lead
and was giving the British boat as
severe and unlocked for drubbing as
any cup challenger ever got The Her
reshoff boat had beaten far to wind
ward and with bone in her teeth
ried her around the mark when her old
failing of structural weakness aloft
came back to spoil her glorious per-
Torrance.
Resolute Springs Surprise
But for the collapse OF the gaff the
defender would have rounded the outer
mark and filled away for the run down
the wind to the finish line with a, lead
of nearly a mile. 1t would have been
practically impossible for Shamrock
to overhaul her, much less assume a
lead herself that would have made up
for the seven-minute time allowance.
The outfooting and outsailing of
Shamrock by Resolute WAS a surprise
that completely mystified hackers of
the challenger and sent Resolute
rooters into the widest flights of en-
thusiasm. 1t was a complete reversal
of all the advance dope and knocked
the bottom out of the predictions of
many of the wisest yachtsmen in
America.
Yesterdays was windward and lee

Delay to Watch Over Crippled Opponent Prevents
Baronet From Witnessing Own Yacht Cross
Line Victor for the First Time

The turn in the tide of Sir Thomas
one of the most dramatic moments in
the history of international yachting
Tho heavy haze that followed upon the
torrentjal downpour had just lifted,
showing the two yachts, with Resolute
we'll in the van and Shamrock we'll in
shore
Sir Thomas was at this moment on
the bridge deck Of his steam yacht
guests. The first glance after the mist
lifted showed that in the first en-
counter his latest challenger had Jared
no better than her previous namesakes
The baronet was visibly affected and
a somewhat solemn expression came
over his face. Turning to the man
nearest to him, he exclaimed: 81 am
sorry al the poor show we have made
to-day"
AS if goaded to pity, Fate chose this
very moment to reverse the i'll fortune
that has ever pursued Sir Thomas in
his quest. The two yachts were near
ing the marker buoy anchored at the
end of the fifteen mile run to wind
ward. Shamrock was taking a long
port tack, in order to round the bow
IN one long swift run, and Resolute
was close upon the buoy.
The wind had heeled Resolute over
to port in what seemed an extra ordi-
narily heavy list. 1t looked as though
she would not make the turn without
having to tack again.
Resoute in Difficulty
AS Sir Thomas finished his remark,
the mainsail on Resolute suddenly
tapped helplessiy in the light breeze.
and it was plain that she was in great
difficulty
Without a moments hesitation Sir
Thomas, taking the situation in. said:
81 am sorry that this happened. It's
too bad. 1t may be the cdstom to claim
races that way, but it's not Tom Lip
tons way"
The crippled Resolute had sufficient
way to make the turn around the
marker buoy, and then she came to
helplessly, while her crew hustled to
lower the main and top club sails At
this time the Shamrock was we'll or
her last tack before the turn and was
running much better than at any time
previously.
All eyes on the Victoria were glued
to the green hull now rapidly approach
ing her crippled adversary. The vast
and motley fotilla that was failing the
racers crowded round the turning point
to witness the vital scene.
Then when the Shamrock we'll around
the buoy started on her fifteen lie
run before the wind, the big fleet
crowded after her in the same manner
that crowd follows victorious
fighter, and abandons the loser

The international yacht race was wit

Despite the bad weather. a large fleet
Of airplanes scared over the two yachts.
Four Of the airplanes were DH-4 BIZ
planes from the United States Air Serv-

Of the government. Another interesting
airplane was the new aeromarine cruis-
Ell, which had eleven passengers on
board besides the crew-a total of ff-
teen persons. This big aircraft flew
from the Columbia Yacht Club.
When the thunderstorm broke all
the flying craft returned to their sta
tions. They returned again in the
afternoon and watched the Shamrock
pass the finish line.

stayed except the steam tender and a
lone destroyer duty bound--that is,
with the exception of tho Victoria. Sir
Thomas ordered his craft to stand by
the defeated yacht until it was assured
that she was in no danger and was
we'll in tow Of her tug.
This delay to watch over the Grip
pied opponent prevented Sir Thomas
from seeing his own yacht crossing
the finishing line victor for the first
time.
The day Of victory for Sir Thomas
was one Of the greatest in his career.
He was about early in great fettle
and personally greeted each of his
guests as they came aboard the Vic
toria from the landing pier of the
Atlantic Yacht Club at Sea Gate.
All about the steam yacht there
swarmed a host Of miniature craft Of
shouted good wishes and I<ood luck TO
the baronet as they passed by To
each of these Sir Thomas waved back
an enthusiastic response with his arm.
He was laughing like schoolboy and
was having the time of his life.
The Victoria pulled up her anchor
shortly before 10 o'clock and steamed
into Ambrose Channel, running straight
into the greatest procession of seago-
ing craft that has ever emerged from
New York harbor at one time.
Replies to All Greetings
Surveying the picturesque scene, Sir
Thomas exclasmed: Good heavens,
what remarkable fleet! Are they all
going to see the racer"
To him the sightseers on the palatial
liner, Or the dingy trawler were as one,
and he replied to their greeting with
equal enthusiasm and qualification.

he laughed in RESPONSE

Despite his regret, earnestly ex
pressed, over the mishap to Resolute,
Sir Thomas was visibly pleased at the
victory. AS soon as the first flush Of
the dramatic turn in fortune had sub
sided he moved about among his guests
again.
Drawing a chair UP alongside Mrs.
Morris Nelson, he said: 81 have offered
Mrs. Nelson job on board here if she
will take it. She is my mascot. She
was one of my guests on the Erin in

After this he began to tell jokes
laughingly to all. With a wink in his
merry eyes he turned to the news

ing. Get your sled !"
Wondering, Peggy obcycd, leaving her
skates ut home and bringing her coaster.
The little old woman put the ropc

Billy saw a sight that nearly made
them fall from the coaster. A dan
above the mill pond had burst, and
the rushing waters were sweeping across
the ice and smashing it up. If they
had gone skating as they had intended
they surely would have been drowned

While Peggy and Billy were marvel

Bert H. Clingan of Phoenix was elected state commander for the ensuing year.
 Arraigning the present system of the army discipline as un-American and Prussian, resolution tending to de- stroy the salute and line of demarka- tion between officers and men in the army was defeated on the convention | floor. by a close margin. A resolution in favor of the proposed ciyil service commission for Arizona and assign ment of state positions through civil | service examinations permitting the returned soldier preference in these positions won on the floor after 3 | heated contest as to its constitutional i, ity and feasibility from the legion's {, point of view.
 The convention also went on record as opposed to politics in the organiza- ton; favoring the immediate arrest | and conviction of draft evaders, l Americanization of aliens and opening lup of the lands of the unoccupied pub | lie domain.
 Governor Campbell of Arizona ad. dressed the delegates at the morning session, urging them to begin an in | tensive campaign for a bond issue il Arizona for the various reclamation projects, stating that it would be man, months before funds would be forth

MISSING OKLAHOMA GIRL IS FOUND ON
 NEW MEXICO RANCH
[RepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel

ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, Aug. 10.- Alice Miller. aged 16, who disappeared while en route from Newkirk, Okla, to San Francisco on July 21. has been found, according to word received here tonight by the police. She was mar ried to Lloyd Smith at Estancia, N. M, Aug. 2, and the couple are now living on a ranch about 10 miles northwest of there. According to word reaching here, the couple left the Santa Fe train at Kennedy, N. M, about 50 miles north of here, and took a train on the New Mexico Central railroad at Es- tancia.
 Smith and the girl had been sweet hearts in Oklahoma for several years, but consent to their marriage was withheld. She had been living with her father in Newkirk, but recently wrote her mother that she would ike to visit her in California, and started for San Francisco.
 Police are uncertain whether the couple planned the elopement and the girl used the visit to her mother as an excuse to leave her father, or whether Smith persuaded the girl to marry aim after she had left Newkirk.
