ship, and return.
The crews of both sloops were opti-
mistic.
Sir Thomas Enthusiastically was
cheerful.
Il think my chances are better than
ever before" he said. Conditions are
as fair as possible. In my 80 years OF
pursuing the elusive trophy I have al
ways subscribed to the slogan, May the
best boat win,' and may add May the
best boat be Shamrock W"
Vanderbilt Also Cheerful.
Harold S. Vanderbilt, skipper of the
defender Of the hundred-guinea cup
which was won by the yacht America In

even-money propositions, but when odds
were given they usually favored Enter

her own sail, with q shortened rig, and

not mind anything King Neptune could
offer her on the open ocean course.
Breeze Has Been Light.
The breeze has been very light dur

along the water front predicted that
the cup. boats were due to run into
some heavy weather before the end Of
the series, to be decided on best four

The 5-to-2 triumph of the Cardinals
over the Giants in the f1nal game Oh
their series yesterday gave the New
Workers q setback that will be hard
for them to overcome.
The Cards put on q ninth-inning
rally. With the score tied they poled
out four hits which, with a Giant err
ror, produced three runs.
Hack Hits Another.
Chicago's smuggling Cubs had little
trouble in holding their slim lead.
They hit early and late in their first
game against the PhillieS and with
Hack wilson's Sorty-ninth home run
In the second and q six-run rally In
the sixth as the high spots, they came
out with a 17-to-4 triumph.
Brooklyn downed Cincinnati almost
as easily. The Robins made a fast
start against Ray Kolp and finished
their part of the scoring in their 7-to-3
victory in five innings as Lopez and
Wright hit timely homers. Ray MOSS
had only one bad inning. as he held
the Reds to eight hits, four OF the
blows and all the Cincinnati runs COM
ing in the sixth.
Babe Ruth continued his pursuit OF
Wilson In the seasons home run race
and furnished the one ray of light for
the New York Yankees as they dropped
completely out of the American League
pennant chase. The Babe hit homer
No. 46 in the third inning, but his
teammates errors enabled the Detroit
Tigers to stay In the running and finally
win out in q ninth-inning rally, to 4.
The Yanks lost a half game to the
Philadelphia Athletics, who were idle
for q second day, and at the same time
lost their chance of finishing better
than a half game behind the world
champions.
Griffs Blow Chance.
Washington gained the same amount
of ground and once more is six and
one-half games behind the leaders. On
to q six-run lead in the first two in
nings, the Senators barely staggered
through to an 8-to-7 victory over the
Chicago White Sox.
Two games of no particular impor-
lance in the standings went 10 innings
and both were decided by 5-to-4 scores.
The Boston Braves came from behind
to defeat the Pittsburgh Pirates by that
margin as Chatham and Spohrer found
Larry French for doubles in the tenth.
Boston's other team, the Red Sox,
scored four times in the ninth to tie
the score against the st. Louis Browns
as Phil Todt hit a last-minute homer,
only to have the Browns come back

severe of the past 100 years, by DR.. A.
F. Woods, director of scientific work,
Department of Agriculture, addressing
the seventeenth National Convention of
the Society of Industrial Engineers at
the Mayflower Hotel today.
DR.. Woods declared that while no
such dry spell as the present is on rec
ord probably 100 years ago similar
spell was experienced.
The drought also was touched upon
by N. c. Grover, chief of the water re-
sources division, Geological Survey, who
said that 1t was remarkable for the
great area it has covered, its unusual
duration and its severity.
Mr.. Grover also discussed the pos
sibility of legislation for control of
water supply in the United States, say
ing that in the future it seems that
preservation of natural waters for the
best use will demand regulation some
what after the manner of the food and
drug business or the Health Service. "
Development Plans Outlined.
The morning session also was ad-
dressed by Lieut. Col. u. S. Grant, Sd,
director of public buildings and public
parks, who outlined plans for the de-

given to the machines than to the men
and women operating them.
mo one knows where we are going
in these days of efficiency changes, !"
Miss Anderson continued. There are
more shoes. more radios, more automo-
biles and fewer buyers. Machines don't
wear shoes nor buy cars and workers
are becoming fewer in factories and
workshops through the growing eff
cheney of machines"
Lawrence H. Sloan vice president of
the Standard Statistics Co. of New

dicted continued depression in in
dustry until next Spring. Alvin T.
Simons, president of the Simons Steel
