The Anal score. as gwen out by the
s,swsnhaka Corinthian Yacht Club
,o-aight, was;
United States. s.............1il
Great Britain. ........... -1O4
Over sea bejeweled with glimmer-
inc white caps and whipped by twen-
,v.knot breeze, England made gal
iant fight for the trophy. There were
e,ly TIVE ways in which she could have
csptured the cup in the face of the
Iead that had been piled up against
her. One was to have her boats fin
sh first second, third and fourth. The
other chance lay in the possibility that
one or more of the American yachts
night crumple under the slashing
rFtherly breezes and be forced to
yithdraw. One chance was as good, or
ss bad, as the other. The Americans
..sod up and managed to squeeze the
ood ship Grebe into third place. That
.lcne was enough to secure the trophy
for this country.

heels. Over the entire twelve miles
she raced in second place and finished
hat way, scoring seven points for the
United Kingdom.
1 Grebe Battles Gamely for Honors

I searred veteran of the American de-
feat a year ago, was the local entry

Courageous as her effort was, she

nta who led the parade. She had all
she could do to choke off the on
tsughts Of the persistently attacking
Reg, the British yacht that boiled
iOng in her wake throughout the
| sftenoon. AS it was she defeated
Reg by only thirteen seconds.
4 The finishes were all close. Just
atern Of Reg came j. r. Bermingham's

tie series This is believed to be an
srror on the part of the race commit
tee, caused probably by the disqualifi-
cation of Clytie on Thursday. The
newspaper table, which has been care
ully checked up, shows that Lea has
scored 35 points to Coila's 81.
