LEAFS Victory Brilliant One
So far as individual work is con-
esrned, J. F. Birmingham Lea, win
Isy OF Saturdays race, again distin-
guIshed herself as queen of the Anglo
American feet. She won to-day even
more brilliantly than she did on Sat
arday, leading the squadron from start
% finish and proving conclusively that
she is not solely light weather boat
In beating, reaching and running this
afternoon Lea delivered sparkling per-
iormanees under the able guidance of
Sherman Hoyt.
Jean, the property of Sir John Ward
aa eleverly sailed by Sir Ralph Gore,
AS easily the best of the British quar-
Il. as she was on Saturday. She
hshed second to Lea and outfooted

as legs. She seemed to be the best

Eard
The yachts sailed twice around
six-mlle triangle, the first leg of which
vas beat TO wirdwavd, the second a
run and the third reach.
1t was on the second windward leg
hat the British did the work that gave
them the days honors. At the end of
the first round of the course there were
few indications that the English were
to fare much better than they did on
Saturday. 1t looked then like another
American victory of sweeping dimen-
sions. At the completion of the first
round of six miles Norman Clark Neips
Reg was the only Britisher that had
shown anything. She was in second
position then, less than a minute
astern Of Lea. But her teammates
were in the ruck.
William F. Robertson's Caryl was in
fourth position, Sir John Wards Jean
Jagged in sixth place and F. j. Steph-
ems Cola III was last.
Cola Cuts Down LEAFS Lead
The marine perspective had entirely
changed at the conclusion of the next
eg, which was the second windward
thrash. Cola III had moved up from
last to second place, Jean had nosed
iron sixth position to third and Reg
had dropped back to fourth. Cola
covered the two miles in the fastest
time Of any of the eight boats and
cut down Lea's lead very considerably.
colla's time for the beat was 26:40,
while Jeans was z7:l9. The leading
Lea made this leg in 27:29.
From that point on the British were
- the fight and it can be said that
they looked like a different feet in
the second round of the triangle. In
toe second run down the wind, which
followed the windward leg in which
the English did so we'll, Jean out
looted Cola and moved into second
pace where She remained until the
hnlsh. She crossed the line one minute
ana fifteen seconds astern of Lea.
