EVIDENTLY CASE OF
RECKLESS DRIVING
Motorist Responsible for Tuesday
Nights Accident Said to Have
Been Speeding.

Editor Every Evening: There was an
automobile accident at Pennsylvania
avenue and Van Buren, street Tuesday
night which from all accounts was a
direct result OF the most reckless driving
Ii seems almost a miracle that some one
was not killed. The car coming in Pennsyl-
wanna avenue was undoubtedly being
driven at high speed as evidenced by the
force with which it struck the other
car throwing it into a telephone pole, and
the course which it later took over the
pavement and through stone wall before
being brought to stop. Circumstances
do not permit any argument whatever on
that point.
And what happens? Nothing No arrests
are made, and the same driver is permitted
to go his way TO take the same chance
again any time he plcaseS. A recalling Of
operating licenses in such cases would soon
rut an end to such reckless driving
Automobile drivers are fined, and rightly
50. for all sorts of minor violations Of
the law, but here is case of extreme reck-
leSSncsS, which came near proving fatal
70 one or more parties and nothing is
done. Safety First.

RESOLUTE WINNER
OF THIRD CUP RACE
Defender and Challenger Make
Course in Same Time, Former
Winning by Handicap.
By Associated Press to Every Evening

Sandy Hook, n. j., July 22.-Resolute,
defender of the Americas yachting cup,
came back yesterday, after two straight
defeats and won magnifcently over the
british challenger, Shamrock Nv.
Shamrock finished scant half boat
length ahead with lead of 10 seconds,
but as she had gained precisely that adj
vantage at the start, the race was
mraculously in yachting events-a dead
heat over the 30-mile course. Resolute
won by the amount of her handicap,
seven minutes and one second. The
fourth race of the series will start Fri
day.
Veteran yachtsmen who followed the
trim craft through the four hours, three
minutes and six seconds of racing time,
thought back over many years of racing
without being able to conjure up a picture
that could compare with today's spectacle.
1t was a real yacht race from the start
and it provided finish rivaling in close
ness that of a neck and neck horse race.
Resolute had taken the lead early
in her favorite I5-mle beat TO wind-ward,
and rounding the stake with about a
quarter of a mile lead, slipped swiftly
balloon jib topsail billowing superbly
But Shamrock ", with her greater
spread of canvas, would not be denied
and slowly, but steadily ate up in the
intervening distance until. with little
more than mile to go her bowsprit
reached, then slowly began to creep past
the defenders stern.
Inch by inch, as the spectators watched
breathlessly, Shamrock ~ moved up and
up. A mile from the stake, they were
running neck and neck through the fluffy
little whitecaps turned up by the breeze
They appeared so close together from
the press boats that it seemed as if man
might have jumped from challenger
10 defender. Actually, the distance was
several boat lengths.
Shamrock " kept up the steady crawl
ahead until, at the half-mile mark from
the line, she was nearly full boat length
ahead.
Then Resolute caught a tiny extra
puff of wind from somewhere. and strain
ing like a thoroughbred under the lash,
crept up, slowly, almost imperceptibly
She had got her bow about even with
Shamroc IS towering mast when q puff Of
steam from the committee boat S whistle
registered Shamrocks' finish.
