 snarl was causing it to embrace the

 between the propellers of yacht and an airplane. Perhaps it made him shud- der over the thought of his propeller
 wrapped grotesquely about one of his highly ornate and varnished struts.
 Though the weather was clear on the ground low hanging mist shortened the aerial panorama to only a few miles in each direction where sky and sea were welded by a circular band of opaque
 white. This made it difficult to get the
 wide view of the vast stretch of water serving as race course for the Irish
 and American yachts which was possi- ble during Saturdays race.
 From point in the center Of the ina ginary triangle only a hay prospect of the Long Island shore to the north and New Jersey coast line on the west could be obtained.
 Objects directly below or within ra- dius of five miles or less, all around, were plainly visible from an altitude seldom exceeding 1000 feet. The fleet or steam yachts. excursion boats and small craft which attended the first two | trials was on hand. A more generous display of bunting and pennants on these spectator craft suggested that metropolitan merchants must be capi- talking the yachting classic as boos- ter for their bright colored wares.

Age-Herald CreU Wins Series From News Aggregation

The clan of The Birmingham
 Age-HeraId marched upon the
 baseball field yesterday aftern6on.
 The diamond aggregation of the
 Birmingham News aiso marched
 upon the seIf-same baseball field. s. but to their sorrow. The revenge
 of The Age-Herald crew was com
 plete, and each so-cailed News
 player left that baseball field
 minus a scalp.
 The carnage was indeed com
 plete. and the cOnsummate skill
 of The Age-Herald diamond aSgre-
 Eation was displayed on every
 hand. Showers of base hits and
 scores were the victOrs' spells,
 while showers of strike-outs and
 errors rewarded the Iosers' for
 their trouble.
 little more details of the fracas will remind the News ball tossers and reveal to the world the fact that The Age-Herald won by the count of to 1, the one being given in order to keep up enough spirit to have some opposi tion. It will also remind them that The Age-Herald, by their victory. won the series.
 The mighty attack that greeted the twirler of the News, whate'er be his name, started in the first round and ended when four runs crossed the plat ter in the last inning of the memor- able conflict, when the opposition com pletely went to pieces. Another hurler was sent in to check the veritable bar : rage of base hits that rapidly went forth from the mighty hludgeons of The Age-Herald bat singers.
 And another reminder for the losers. A certain MT. John Cornett. the hill artist for the morning edition crew, was there in great quantities. MT. Cor nett proceeded to slip three perfectly good strikes by the great majority of News swatterS, the exact number being eleven, the argument only going for seven frames. In addition. The Age Herald moundsman allowed only two singles during his stay on the firing line. MT. Cornett was indeed in form.
 And another little happening in yesterdays fracas. One News player had. by chance. reached the third sta- tion. and then Frank Smith strode to the plate. The Smith person landed on a fast one and sent said pill sailing far out into the gardens. Manager cavorting in left, also went sailing at the same time, and after a hard run dragged the sphere from the ozone 1t was the fielding feature of the game
 The remainder of the story of the awful carnage may be garnered from the box account:

In contrast to the apparent in- activity of the crews of Shamrock " and Resolute on the first trial of the second event, as viewed from the air, today's spectacle gave the correspon dent of the Associated Press and the pilot of his swfft-moving aerial ob- servation station as much as they could do to keep up with the varied maneuvers the two sloops went through.
 Struggling to take advantage of every breath of air which blew first from the northwest and later veered to northeast, with occasional gusts from the other points of the compass, the two rival shippers had their men darting here and there over slanting decks with lightning rapfdity, swarm ing at a word of command to the rig ging and wrestling with a recalcitrant spar or sail which fouled in the set ting.

Democrats Will Lose
Missouri, Reed Men Say

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 3O.-The
blow of the Democratic guillotine,
which virtually forced Senator James
A. Reed to sever all relations with the
party Tuesday at San Francisco, re-
echoed in Kansas City as a herald of
easy victory for the Republicans in
Missouri in November.
The rejection of Reed left local
Democrats stunned. They scarcely

lamented. 'Reed will be avenged, and
1t will cost us the state ticket to do II

for the county ticket, but the state
certainly will be affected and possibly

Republican leaders considered the
ousting of Reed move of sheer fool
hardness on the part of the Wilson

proXlmately four-tifths of the Jackson
County Democrats will vote with the
Republicans on the state ticket this
