.SNAPPY BREEZE
FAVORS BOATS
For Elimination Races to
Decide American De-
tenders
FIVE SCHOONERS
WENT TO MARK
Snappy Westerly Breeze
Was Blowing Off the
Land

Race Course, off Gloucester, Mass
Oct. Is tBy the Associated Pressl.--
The racing members of Gloucester
fishing feet, five schooners competing
for the American championship and in
ternational cup defense honors, sailed
out Of Gloucester again to-day for the
ocean race which was postponed yes
terday. Instead of fog and lack OF
wind which had enforced the delay it
was day of perfect conditions, a
snappy westerly breeze blowing off the
land over waters that were smooth
and air that was crystal clear.
Shippers of the big and little vessels
OF the fleet, the Elsie and the Philip
p. Manta, said the conditions were en-
tirely to their liking. Looks like a
smart blow outside" Marty Welch,
skipper of the Elsie and Of the cup
winner Esperanto last fall, remarked
with satisfaction as he supervised sail
setting before he gave orders to shove
of. And a smart blow it was as the lit
tie feet gathered around the buoy for
the start off Eastern point.
Along the shores of Cape Ann, par
allel to which for five miles the first
leg OF the race course, were hun
dreds of persons, spectators who came
by motor and afoot. The former group
for the most part were yachting en-
thusiasts who came to see the fisher
men sail
Many OF those who walked WIRE
fishermen ashore for the day to sen
fought out in fact races that were rur
in forecastles weeks ago, Chugging or
sailing off Eastern Point, under the
brow Of the stony head that is called
Mother Ann were several score vessels
also representative alike Of yachtsmen
and fishermen out to see the OCEAN
race.
Discussion to-day turned again to
the Elsie and the Arthur Ames as the
most likely eontenders for winners
honors, with the Elsie G. Silva, the
only Knockout schooner hn the raes,
as minority fayorite. The Ralph
Brown and the Philip p. Mania, the
latter vessel of only 20 tons COM
pared with the Elsie's 1877, were looked
TO for smart work under certain condi
tions but without likelihood Of being
we'll placed at the finish.

WAITE HOYT
Is RELIED ON
BY Yankees to Save the
World Series
To-day
AS GIANTS STAND
ONE GAME AHEAD
Carl Mays on Losing End
= Of 2 to / Score on
Wednesday

! New York, Oct. I3.--The world Sc
ries may end to-day in victory for
the New York Giants, but they viii
have to break themselves of the habit
of getting whipped by Waite Hoyt, the
| amazing young man who earns his liv-
ing pitching for the Yankees. Twice
already he has outwitted the McGraw
men, permitting them no runs the
first time and only one score last
Monday. Artie Nehf, left handed but
Trustworthy, probably will pitch for
the Giants. He was their finger on
both other days when Hoyt worked,
and he pitched well, his main trouble
being the failure Of his colleagues to
render substantial encouragement with
their bats.
The Giants moved to within one
game of basebaIl's highest honors yes
terday afternoon when Shufflin Phil
Douglas obtained 2 to victory over
Carl Mays, who pitched like ten pin
player, but gets there just the same.
This victory was the fourth of the
series for the Giants. The Yankees
have won three. 1t was the first time
since the vendetta began at the Polo
grounds last week that the Giants
pranced ahead Of the Higgins pack.
Also it was the fourth triumph for
the National leaguers in the last FIVE
games.
If the Giants win to-day the cham
pionship is theirs, while the Yankees
to wear the crown must 60 forward
this afternoon and repeat in the game
that would follow 1t is no secret that
they now tenant an unenviable position
sometimes described as having their
backs to the wall. The Yankees be-
gin the eighth battle still bereft of
their most powerful offensive weapon
1.-The Incompatible Babe Ruth. His
sundry sore spots compel him 10 re
frain from the combat. And il may
be they will have to get along with
out McNally, fast young third base
man. His shoulder was hurt yester
day in sliding to second base, and be
McNally and got two hits, but the
veteran has not the speed of the youth |
nor equal agiNy in the field.
Fate pSked out the seventh inning
TO do the Yankees mean
trick. There is cult of fans and
writers which sternly holds the sew
enth to be the inning when such things
almost always transpire, and that usu-
ally they rebound to the greater glory
Of the home team.
The aforementioned cult Joined the |
II told you So. club last night. They
had seen Mays and Douglas battling
along evenly into the seventh inning
when with two men gone Rawlings got
to first on hard roller that Ward
muffed. "Well, there's the break" one
heard folks all around remarking,
while Ward was thinking unkind
things of his luck. And, sure enough,
the break did come. Before one could
say Jack Robinson, more than half
dozen times, this Rawlings person
crossed the plate with the run that
won the game. He had been sent
around the bases by Snyder's two base
blow into centerfield that Miller and
Fewster had hard time picking out
IF the grass.

SOCIAL GATHERING

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. W. j.
Kennedy was the scene of a pleas
ant gathering on Wednesday evening
November 9th, when the people of
Elk Prairie community had a "get-to-
gether' in honor of Mr. and Mrs,
DaSin ard Mrs Dent
As token of friendship and as a
reminder that she was leaving host
of good friends in the Ex-Prairie
neighborhood, Mrs. Dakin was pre-
scented with Bible. Mrs. Carpenter,
in a few well chosen words, told Mrs.
Dakin of her helpfulness and good
cheer and that in giving her this
book it was not because Of its popu-
larity, because it had become very
unpopular with a great many people
and set aside fer other things Mrs
Dalin feelingly thanked one and all
for this remembrance.
Refreshments of coffee, pie anc
doughnuts were served to about fifty
people and all departed for then
homes having spent pleasant even
ing and wishing Mr. and Mrs. Dakir
much happiness in their new home
at Okolona, Miss.
