Harold S. Vanderbilt, a millionaire and
one of the most capable yachtsmen in
the country, sailed Enterprise to victory.
He took orders from nobody.
Ned Heard, whose life has been spent
largely on the sea, skippered the de-
feated challenger Capt. Heard is a pro-
fessional sailorman, working for a SAL
airy and answerable not only to Sir
Thomas, but to several advisers in and
out of the employment of the aged Irish
baronet. Sir Thomas leaves details
largely to others. Many would have liked
to see Capt. Heard sail race absolutely
on his own.
AS to the seamanship involved in the
series just closed 1t is difficult to make
comparisons. There were four races
and the rival shippers each started in
the windward berth of two races. En-
terprise probably was stepping along a
bit faster at most of the starts. En-
terprise showed an ability to sail closer
to the wind than Shamrock, but that
was not the fault of the crew of the
green sloop.

SIR THOMAS VIEWS
TASK AS HOPELESS
Fails in Fifth Attempt as

Straight Victory.

n EXPORT, r. T., September
IN dedicated in his fifth
attempt to regain for Brit
ain the Americas Cup, Sir
Thomas Upton has abandoned his
fruitleSs quest.
AS sirens shrieked signaling an
other American victory, the 30
year-old Irish sportsman said:
Its the end of the race. It's
the finish; yes, the finish. I will
not challenge again. It's no use.
We cannot win"
The victorious American yacht En-
terprise clinched the series by covering
the 30-mile course in the fourth race
yesterday in 3 hours 10 minutes 10
seconds, the fastest time ever made in
the so years since Britain first chal-
lenged for the cup in American waters
She beat Sir Thomas Shamrock by 5
minutes and II seconds.
COngratuIates Victor.
Sir Thomas Immediately after the
race sent a radio message to Vincent
Aston, aboard the Vara, asking him to
convey to Harold S. Vanderbilt, skip
per OF the Enterprise, and his crew
Congratulations on your well merited
victory"
IT want them to know right away
that have no hard feelings" he ex-
planned. Although they've beaten me
again, I could not have fairer sportsmen
against me-"
After rest of a day or two aboard
the steam yacht Erin, Sir Thomas plans
TO spend a week in New York on busi-
ness and then sail for home.
Vanderbilt expressed himself as well
pleased with the performance of his
crew and boat and said he thought
! his British opponents "the finest set
of sportsmen" he ever raced against.
The men who build boats are unani-
nous in the contention that q metal
boat, all other things being equal, is
faster than a wooden one. Enterprise
Is bronze plated, Shamrock v mahog-
any planked.
Enterprise Is equipped with q va
sail and trimming sheets. Manpower
Is required to work those winches, but
they accomplish their tasks much faster
than the old-style gear of Shamrock.
Shamrock'S mast Is of wood, but 1t Is
a ton heavier than Enterprises hollow
metal spar, and weight aloft is most
serious handicap to a sailing craft.
Shamrock with as light rigging as
Enterprise probably would have given
the American boat very close competi-
ton.

LONDON. September 10 (P).-
While extending cordial sympathy to
Sir Thomas Upton and acclaiming
him a king of good losers. the
papers here today candidly recog-
nized that Shamrock v was OUT
classed by a better boat and was
sailed by q highly skilled crew to q
deserved victory.
High praise Is due the magnificent
combination of talents which rem
dered Enterprises victory so COM
plete," the Telegraph said.
The Evening Post saluted "the
successful adversary which showed
a decisive superiority" The paper
declared that in designing and sail
ing a yacht Americans have nothing
to learn from anybody, and it could
see no prospect of development here
of superiority either in design or
seamanship SUFFICIENT to capture the

LEAD OVER ROBINS

Again Beat Brooklyn While

Championship.
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR.,
Associated Press sports Writer.

AsSoclated Press Sports Writer.
~ NOE more Connie Mack, the
a tall tactician of Philadel-
~ phia, has led the Athletics
to the point where they
have nothing to do but look for
ward to a new world series in
which to conquer-or to be con-
quered-and from current indi-
cations in the race for the Ma
tional League flag, it appears that
the st. Louis Cardinals will be
their rivals in the struggle for the
worlds championship.
The Athletics made formal settle
ment of the. American League pennant
race yesterday, clinching the title be-
yond the last shadow of doubt by
downing the Chicago White Sox, IA to
10, for the ninety-ninth victory of the
season, while Cleveland ended Wash
ington'S chances with 3-to-2 triumph
over the Senators. At the same time
the cards were drawing farther ahead
of their rivals in the senior circuit, de-
feating Brooklyn for the third straight
time, to 3, to gain two-game margin
over the Robins.
Cards Well Entrenched.
A third stirring triumph in as many
games placed the Cardinals In fairly
safe position as they left to start a five-
game series in Philadelphia. Brooklyn
and Chicago, their only remaining
rivals of Importance, have three more
games in the lost column and little
hope that the Phillies and Pittsburgh
will upset the Cards.
The New York Giants are out of the
race for all practical purposes, being
five and a half games behind despite
yesterdays 6-to-2 triumphS over Chicago.
Today the leaders stand as follows:

Connie Mack's Major League Batting Record

Delehanty, Elmer Flick and Napoleon
Lajoie.
Delehanty was the home run king
of his day. one Of the two men In major
league history to hit four home runs
In a single game. Lajoie was then one
OF the greatest second basemen and a
heavy hitter who later cast his lot with
the American League.
Before the 1902 season began, Lajoie,
Flick and others made the jump to the
other side of the big league fence.

him his first major league champion

THE popularity Of the Athletics in
i modern times makes it difficult to
realize that when Mack first d.
rected q team there, It was largely re-
garded as an outlaw affair, unlikely TO
last very long. The Philadelphia Ma
tionals then had been = strong con-

third in 1899 and 1900, second in 1901

the Cardinal hero roles yesterday.
Grimes spitball rendered most Of
Brooklyn's hitting ineffective, while
Bottomley's fourth-inning homer helped
the Cards make the most Of their five
hits of Phelps and Thurston. Fred
Fitzsimmons of the Giants did the
major part of the work in holding the
Cubs in third place by allowing them
only six scattered hits, while the Giants
walloped Bush and Nelson for IL blows.

An ideal time to tour. according to
those who have been over the ground,
Is the late Summer and early Fall.

NUMBERING OF HIGHWAYS
SOON TO BE COMPLETED

Reports received by the Bureau Of
Public Roads, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, indicate that. the
work of erecting the standard markers
for numbered routes in the United
States system of highways will be
practically complete at the end of the
construction period of 1890. The sys-
tenn was adopted less than five years
ago by State highway departments, and
OF the most important highways of the
Nation. Practically all of these routes
are also in the Federal-aid highway
system.
The numbering Of the United States
highways, which are really the main
streets Of the Nation, is doing for the
rural communities what the naming Of
streets has done for the cities Because
OF their convenience, the numbers have
established themselves and have be-
come popular with motorists. They
not only indicate direction but are
coming into use as means of identi-
flying locations. Manufacturers and
business houses are using the numbers
IN advertisements as medium of loca-
ton. Novelists and cartoonists are
using them in their stories and comic
strips.
Numbering OF Roads.
Just as the names of streets became
the practical means Of identifying
thoroughfares in cities, the numbered
highways have displaced the names by
which some Of the roads, particularly
the transcontinental highways, were
previously known. Motorists are for
getting the old designations, which, be-
cause OF duplication, often caused con-
fusion.
Ten main east and west routes, desig-
nateo by multiples of ten, and IL i'm
portant north and south routes, num-
bered l, IL, 81, 81, etc., up to and in
Guiding 10l, form the backbone of the
system. The system includes not only
these important through routes but also
many crossovers that connect main
routes. The highways of the system
reach practically all of the large cities
and serve every section of the country.
The crossover or branch lines are indi-
Gated by three digits, such as 200, 141,
etc.
Even Numbers East-West.
All east and west highways, as well
as their branches, have even numbers;
all those running north and south with
their branch lines have odd numbers.
The signs bearing the numbers are OF
standard size, and are In the shape of
shield They have a white background
on which appear, in black, the name of
the State, the initials "U. s., and the
route number. Generally, the markers
are erected mile apart.
Work on the des gnation of a system
OF United States highways started In
February, 1925, when, on the recon-
mendation of the American Association
| OF State Highway Officials the Secretary
Of Agriculture appointed the joint
Board Of Interstate Highways, consist
J ing OF State and Federal officials, tc
undertake the designation.

The barrier of the ocean no longer
exists for the automobile tourist. The
wide, wide world, instead of the North
American Continent, is his field and,
according to steamship officials, an
embarrassing number of Americans
are taking advantage Of the new sit
uation to tour Europe in their auto
mobiles.
The transportation of an automobile
has been made quite as simple as the
handling of a piece of baggage and
the cost is so modest, according to off,
Gals of the great automobile associa-
tons, that 1t Is far less costly for q
party of three or four to drive their car
to a port of debarkation, transport 1t
to Europe and tour in it than it is to
go in the standard way. A few simple
forms are filled out, the home town
driving license is presented, and the
steamship company or the automobile
club that is handling the transfer does
the rest.
The person transporting the car
drives it to the embarkat!on pier "a
hours before the time of sailing. He
gets a baggage check for his car. He
does not see it again until he disem-
barks and goes through the foreign
customs office. Then he finds his car
waiting on the pier for him. 1t is
equipped with international license
plates. AS he steps into it he is handed
his foreign driving license, his inter-
national customs pass, a detailed road
map of Europe, and is on his care-free
way. While in Europe he can buy the
self same gasoline and oil he has used
at home. He can get service for his
car from European mechanics that is
the equal of his home service and If he
wants American service he can get it
from any one of 20 assembling plants
and their branches that American manu-
facturers have established throughout
Europe. He has, by courtesy, the COM
plete facilities of the various automo-
bile clubs of Europe and their branches.
There Is one in practically every i'm
portant city. Due to the fact that these
clubs are anxious to serve American
tourists and thereby get more of them,
the service they render is superfine and
without charge.
Roads Are Good.
Free and away, the tourist in Eu-
rope has a magnificence of opportunity
that Is unexcelled. The roads are as
equally good as American roads and
due to the length of time they have
been building and to the distribution
of population there are many more
miles of them. The country is not only
varied in topography as the United
States, but is varied nationally and
raciauy, so that there is something new
and interesting for every mile of road
the tourist can drive with equal facility
