is apt to get hot and blow himself to q
lot of brides, but against Ouimet, the
man with the rep. he blew himself out
of four holes right at the start. And
when Ouimet wins the FIRST four holes
he is hard to catch.
Mcreland, Howell, Connolly and Jack
son are four of the finest prospects
that have come up in the championship
in recent years, and Of them all Howell
looks the best. The championship was
a complete vindication of the sectional
qualification system used by the U. S.
G. A., for it is more than likely that
many of the kids who qualified would
not have been in the tournament I'M
der the old hand-picked system. In the
sectional rounds their fate rested with
themselves. That is the way 1t should
be in a golf tournment.
The u. S. G. A apparently has in
stituted another innovation in not fore
ing a playoff for the medal Saturday
afternoon they gave medals to Yates,
Lehman and Seaver, who had tied for
the medal week ago today at 148.

~ ETROIT, September 8-Miss
England II, the worlds fastest
y hydroplane, lay at the bottom
of the Detroit River today and
with 1t were the hopes Of Kaye Don
Great Britain's speed ace, to win the
Harmsworth. Trophy race this year from
the veteran, Car Wood.
With one heat safely won and need
ing only sfsother victory to capture the
trophy that Wood has held since 1926
when he won 1t in England, Don was
eliminated from further competition in
this years international race by dou-
BILE share of Ill luck.
As Don was swinging wide on the
second turn at the lower end OF the
course on the first lap his craft struck
the wash of Woods Miss America TX
and turned over. Don and his two me-
chanics, Roy Platford and Dick Garner
we're not hurt.
Almost at the instant the English
challenger foundered it was announced
from the judges stand that both Miss
England II and Woods Miss America
TX had beaten the gun at the start by
more than the permitted five SECONDS
and were automatically disqualified
from further competition. With only q
single challenger in the race this would
have ended the competition for Dor
even had he escaped the mishap round
ing the lower end of the course.
ITO complete the series OF mishaps
l. that marred yesterdays races, a
loading dock on the mainland side
of the course collapsed at the start OF
the race and dropped about 100 spec
tators. into the water. All were res
cued except a 3-year old boy, who was
reported missing.
This was the sixth time that for
eign challenge against Woods suprem-
acy as competitive speed boat king has
been overtaken by misfortune The
splendid showing made by Don in Sun
days heat, however, had mace MIN
long favorite to win the trophy.
The Racing Committee apparently
felt his chances were good, for they had
the bronze plaque brought down to
their stand for possible presentation to
the English challenger. Wood however,
had made some slight alterations in his
big engine and had 1t wide open. He
led the English boat across at the start
by nearly five lengths, or about the
same margin by which he trailed MISS
England in Sundays first heat. More
over he held the lead until the mlshap
occurred to the challenger.
Wood was waved into the judges
stand and informed that he had beaten
the gun. His Miss America VIII, how
ever, remained in the race and, al
though the running was unnecessary,
finished the full 80 miles as an exhibit
ton for the approximately 100000 per-
sons who watched the race from the
Belle Isle and mainland edges OF the
course.
The officials decision was that 1t was
mo match" Consequently, while Wood
continues to hold the trophy his name
will not be engraved on it as the 1881
winner

DOn's Boat Goes to Bottoms;
Both He and Wood Beat Gun
And Entire Race Is VOided

Don had planned to take his Miss
England II to Toronto on Thursday or
Friday for an attempt to boost its world
straightaway record of 1l0223 miles an
hour. The boat instead probably will be
shipped direct to England, when 1t is
salvaged. The work Of raising it was to
start today.
InON, his right knee wrenched by be-
~ ing caught in the low steering
wheel of the craft he was plotting
when it overturned, said the double dis
aster of disqualification and capsizing
was lust the luck Of the game"
He was unable to give a connected &C
count Of the accident which sent the
worlds fastest hydroplane to the bottom
of the Detroit River along with the
hopes Of the British challenger.
IT suppose I ran into a wash" he
said. There's not much more to say.
You must remember it all happened in
Il should say-two- fifths of a second.
We went over and 1 was under water
done an zimmerman turn "a looping air.
plane maneuver0 Garner (his mech
anician) says he was thrown out right
across my lap"
Don could not estimate his speed at
the moment of capsizing Nor could he
see any striking similarity between his
spill and the disaster which took the
life of Sir Henry Seagrave, who died
when the same boat overturned during
trial run in British waters last year.
'Seagrave struck bit OF floating
wreckage," he pointed out, land the
boat was wrecked. In this case, it was
merely overturned"
Don said his plans for next year de
pend entirely on Lord Wakeham" (who
financed the Inflated challenger.
II would be glad to compete here
again next year If the opportunity is
given me-"
