MERCURY IS BA[KY;
WILLIAMS GIVES UP
Navy Speed Ace WithdraWs
From Schneider Race as
Sundays Tests Fail.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, August 26.-After
two weeks of futile trials, Lieut.. Will
liams has given up his attempts to get
the Mercury racer, the tiny Seaplane
with which he hoped the United States
could capture the Schneider Cup speed
trophy, of the water and into the air
Department that his ship was worthy Of
competing.
The Navy speed ace abandoned his
idea yesterday after three attempts had
failed, the second Of which was under
perfect conditions, and which proved
that the 24-cylinder motor did not have
enough power to get the 4,000-pound
craft of the water and into the air for
the speed trials.
The failure leaves the United States
without an entry for the Schneider Cup.
and places England as the sole nation
to compete, the italian government
having withdrawn its team yesterday
following the death Of Capt. Giuseppe
Motta, its leading pilot, and the loss of
his plane.
williams, however, according to Lieut..
Comdr. John Poppen, who has been the
pilots spokesman, will install q new
motor In the ship, and make an attempt
to then get the craft into the air in an
effort to set a new speed record for
seaplanes over the three kilometer
course.
Sundays tests were conducted in
Eastern Bay, an arm of the Chesapeake
after the Severn River at the Naval
Academy here had been abandoned.
The first test came to grief when the
propeller vibration became too great.
The second, held under conditions de-
scribed as perfect, failed, and it was
then that officials said that the motor
simply did not have the power to get
the ship into the air. The third at
tempt failed when lack of lSufficient gas
pressure stalled the motor.
Tomorrow would have been the last
day Williams could possibly have made
a successful test and had the ship in
New York in time to sail Tuesday the
latest possible date, in time to reach
Cowes, England, for the races.

ARCHANGLE, Siberia, August 90
Members Of the Michigan Commission
now seeking to locate the graves OF
American soldiers in North Russia es-
capped uninjured when their small boat
was rammed by a tug early today and
sank in the Dvina River.
Ray Derham of Iron Mountain and
John Evans Of. Detroit, were thrown
into the water but were rescued by
another boat. Some baggage and
equipment were lost.
Approximately seventy graves have
been located thus far, many in isolated
spots on widely scattered fronts. Iden-
tification has been difficult because of
the lack of crosses or markers. A
group of twenty-four bodies has been
removed from the Archangle cemetery
and prepared for shipment to the
United States.

GOLF PATH THORNY
FOR MRS. PRESSLER
Western Champions Leading
Opponents Are in Same
Bracket With Her,
BY PAUL r.. NICHOLSON.
Associated Press Sports Writer.

)LEVELAND, Ohio, August 27.-
dozen past and present
champions Of greater or lesser
~ degree today stood between
Mrs. Leona PreSSler, comely
golf queen from the San Gabriel Club
of Los Angeles, and her third successive
Western womenS golf title.
With almost every favorite aligned
against her in the upper bracket, the
champions path was rocky one. To
reach the finals she must prove her
championship caliber in five straight
matches. each of which. barring upSets,
will be against golfers who are threats
in any tournament.
Facing her at the start today was
Ohio's champion, Mrs. Curtis SOhl of
Columbus. Farther on down the
bracket were such sharpShooters as
Mrs. Lee Mida, sturdy Chicagoan; Mrs.
Gregg Lifur, Los Angeles, former Cali
fornia title holder; Virginia Wilson,
Chicago, runner-up to Mrs. Pressler IN
1928. and present Canadian champion:
Virginia Van Vie OF Chicago, Florida
title holder and runner-up in last years
national classic. and Kathleen Wright
OF Pasadena. Calf. holder Of several
titles in the Far West and South.
In the lower bracket, Mrs. o. S. Hill
of Kansas City. whose record breaking
II won medalist honors yesterday, had
much easier field to conquer. 1t APP
peared that Mrs. Hill, tYo-tinle holder
of the transmississippi women's title,
would have far less difficulty in reach
ing the finals, although she will be
challenged by such stars as Louise
Fordyce of youngstown. Ohio, several
times holder of the ohio champion
ship; Mrs. Harley Higbie. Detroit
champion, and Bernice Wall of Osh-
kosh. Wis.
While Mrs. Press!er lacked six strokes
of Mrs. Hills nedalist card, she demon
strated that she was on her game,
shooting the same steady golf that
gained championships in 1927 and 1928.
Mrs. Hill: who has been winning
championships for seven years, gave
feminine golfers hard mark to shoot
course in five under womens par. She
played the first nine holes in one over
par IL and then began the assault
which melted her a spectacular SO, ex-
actly mems par on the long rugged
Mayfeld Country Club championship
course. Beautiful work with her irons
accounted for her brilliant round. which
edged Miss Van VIE out OF tile medal
by a single stroke She was over par
on but enc hole all day and had six
brides.
. rs. Hills first opponent today was
Mrs. Harold Foreman of Chicago, who
qualified with an 80, and vino has never
been able to defeat the medalist IN sew
eral ma ches. Miss Van Wic's rival
was June Bcebc, youthful Chicago star.
What promised to be the hardest
matches Of the round were those be-
tween Mrs. Iifur and Virginia Wilson
in the upper bracket and the battle
between Miss Fordyce and Miss Hig3ie
In the lower.
The field of 80 who qualified had a
decidedly Chicago complex. Fifteen
Windy City golfers came down and
fourteen qualified. The others came
from California, Ohio, wisconsin. New
York, Indiana, Oklahoma, Missouri,
xiiehlgan and Kansas.
