YACHT RACE AS
SEEN FROM AIR

A new way to view the Americas
Cup races off Sandy Hook and also
new way of avoiding rain storms
was tried out Thursday by eleven
sightseers who took passage on the
Aeromarine F-5L Cruiser, giant
two-motored flying yacht"
The big ship, which carries a crew
of four, took on its eleven passengers
at the Columbia Yacht Club, Seth
Street on the Hudson River, at IL As
A. M. two or three hours after the
surface craft had started on their
long trip down the Bay. Pi1ot,W H.
Alexander gave her the gum and
the cruiser roared down the Hudson
and out over the upper and lower
bays at top speed. Sandy Hook was
passed about noon. The passengers
got cellar view of the start at the
Ambrose Channel light, and saw the
fine start made by the Resolute and
the somewhat less brilliant gateway
Shamrock ", which was delayed.
After soaring about the Resolute
and the pursuing Shamrock " the
air cruiser left them behind and flew
down the Jersey coast as far as Deal
Beach, returning that more of the
race might be. observed. During the
afternoon rain squalls harassed both
| the yachts and the many observers
on surface craft.
When one especially severe storm
| blackened the horizon Pilot Alexan-
| der decided to avoid it. He climbed
| his big plane rapidly, circling about
the edge of the storm, and passed
over it at five thousand feet. Then
! the passengers had the unusual eX-
perience of watching a storm from
| the dry side. The clouds beneath
| blackened the surface of the ocean
and drenched all hands below, but
/ the Aeromarine flew in the sun
| light.
A landing was made near High
| lands, n. j., during the afternoon
| So that the passengers might stretch
! themselves and enjoy buffet dunch,
| con. After the mishap to the Reso
lutte made plain that it was the
| Shamrock's race the Aeromarine
cruised up as far as Coney island
| and then flew over the Ambrose
| lightship the Shamrock passed
the finish line. In the race home
| ward the air cruiser out-distance6
| the surface boats again and landed
| its passengers at the Battery at five
| o'clock.

Babe Ruth Hits Two .
Home Runs In Game
SuperSugger Breaks Old Record for Circuit S1nashes
and Then Establishes New One-New York
Crowd Gives Him An Ovation

Babe Ruth. crowned last Septem-
Der the greatest home run hitter in
major league history, yesterday turn
ed loose the powerful swing that the
baseball world has been anxiously
awaiting since last Thursday. when
he equalled the mark of 20 home runs
set up in 1919. Amid a deafentng
din such as only $4,000 de1irious fans
can make, Babe logged around the
bases while a crowd in the right field
b1eachers fought for possession Of
the ball with which the home run re-
cord was shattered at the Polo
Grounds in New York yesterday.

the crowd had entreated The Sultan of

had not delivered. Twice he walked,
once he turned an ordinary single into
a two-bagger by burst Of speed that
surprised the White Sox, and on-his
last trip to. the plate he forced a run

Draws Usual Pass.
Ruth had drawn his usual pass
when he faced Dickie Kerr. the ban

for the first time in the second battle,
which eventually went against the
Yankees, to 5. In the fourth in
ming, with one out and Pipp on first
base, the White Sox bantam ran the
string to two strikes and two balls
against Babe and then tried to sneak
a curve~p past the end of Babes bat.
There was a resounding smack as lat
raet ball and the noise from the stand
swelled in volume before the ball had

FLEETWING TAKEN
BY IRISH DREAM

That the Kilrane Stable has in Irish
Dream. a three-year-old which ranks
with the topnotchers Of his division
was the impression left at Empire
City yesterday after this son of The
Curragh and Trance romped home an
easy winner in the Ffeetwing EIandi-

measure of Carmandale by two
lengths, with Dream of the Valley

1t was the third victory of the sea-

the most impressive. This colt first

All of which is very interesting, and
let's hope it leads to something.
The Yanks are mean bunch to

Ruth steps to the plate, many a dis

him base on balls, but alas, right
behind Ruth on the batting order
comes a stick of dynamite by the

bleachers and then he gazed upward
as the ball sailed over his head. It
wasn't the longest hit Ruth has made
into this section. but it was longer
than any other ball player ever has
hit at the Polo Grounds.
Ruth Happy.
Ruth was just as happy over his
success as was the crowd. While the
fans howled in glee, tossed hats
arund the stand in reckless abandon
and made the big stand a mass of
waving arms, Ruth completed his
journey to the plate and then beam
ed back with smile that spurred the
crowd on to great exertion, If that
were possible. Dofhng his cap, the
conventional response which usually
stills a cheering crowd of fans, had no
effect here. Several times on his way
to the bench Ruth bowed his
acknowledgment, but the din con-
tinued after he disappeared in the
dugout. His march to left field at
the close of the inning was the signaH
for another outburst, and the ap-
p1ause was renewed when he came in
after the White Sox had been retired
in the fourth inning.
One Of Two.
The record breaking hit was one of
pair which RuIh unllmDerQ IN the
second game, but there was no joy for
Babe as he logged around the bases
and back to the bench on his second
homer, which ran the seasons string
to 81. It arrived when the Yanks
were defeated, and that always serves
to take interest out of circuit hits
for Ruth, much as the fans revel in
such performances, whether the
Yanks are winning or losing. Babe
was the first citizen to toe the plate
in New York's last half of the ninth
inning, and the score was to
against them. He lined hard into the
lower section of the right field stand
and carried over New York's last run
of the afternoon. Peckinpaugh and
Joe Jackson also hit home runs in
this game and Ping Bodie had favored
with one of. his long clouts in the
opener.

ALL NIGHT IN WOODS
BATTLE SO YEARS AGO

The famous all night in the
woods battle" remarked the old time
sport fan, was fought thirty three
years ago today between Ike Weir,
known as the Belfast Spider and
Jack Havlin, of Boston, two of the
gamest little featherweights that ever
put their feet into a prize-ring. Owing
to the opposition of the authorities
the bout had to be pulled off secret
ly, and a spot between Westerly and
Stonington, Rhode Island was chosen
for the match. Light for the fight
was furniched by lanterns which were
hung in nearby trees.

the Davis Cup team, until July 81, it
has been definitely decided to allow
him a chance to compete in the
challenge round of the Longwood

him in view of the fact that he is in

assured that the four Davis Cup men
