Scott-Paine plans to leave Eng
land on August IL. The trophy
race is scheduled to be run on
Lake st. Clair in September.
The veil of secrecy which has
surrounded Scott-Paine's new
boat, christened Miss England III,
was lifted today, revealing that
the craft is unique in construc-
ton.
The driver and mechanic will
sit in small cockpit of airplane
type cut in the hull of the glis-
tening steel speedboat.
Reached 1OO-MiIe Speed
In recent trials off Southamp-
ton, usually carried out in utmost
secrecy just after dawn, Scott
Paine reached a speed of 100
miles an hour. The British dare
devil claims he is the first man
to attain such a speed on salt
water.
Scott-Paine is convinced Miss
England III, is capable of even
greater speed on fresh water. The
boat is understood to contain
many radical improvements, the
use of steel being regarded as a
safety factor as we'll as an aid to
speed.
Costs $4,000
The craft cost $4,000 pounds
($99,000 at the present rate of
exchange) to construct. When
not speeding, it has a clearance
of only two inches above the
water level.
"The boat weighs 1850
pounds as against seven tons
for Gar Woods Miss America
X" Scott-Paine said. cit has
the lowest weight per horse
power of any boat in the world.
81 think shall be able to
give Gar Wood a good race.
I'll not go further than that,
as the odds against me seem.
great"
Miss England III is powered by
a Napier engine developing 1875
horsepower. During recent trials,
Scott-Paine used an auxiliary en-
gine developing only 900 horse
power. so he is confident of greater
speeds when the bigger engine is
placed in operation.

UNP'S REPORT

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-Neither
Floyd Waugh. Pittsburgh short
stop. nor Bill Walker. st. Louis
Cardinals pitcher, is likely to be
suspended or fined for their
fist fight in game at Pittsburgh
yesterday John Heydler, president
of the National League, intima-
ted today.
However, a final and official
decision rests on the report of
Umpire Magerkurth which has
not been received yet at league
headquarters, Heydler added.
"The fact that Magerkurth
did not call me on long distance
telephone last night or this
morning leads me to believe
the fight was not of a serious
nature" HeydIer said. "HOw-
ever, final disposition of the
case rests on the umpire's re-
port"

TEAMS IN

The National League pennant
contenders went crazy with the
heat yesterday. In Philadelphia
an umpire collapsed and the
Giants piled up a seasons record
of 18 runs and ~ hits in the
second game of a double bill.
In Pittsburgh the Cardinals and
Pirates warmed up by wrangling
with the jumps and finished by
slugging each other, for the sec
ond successive day.
Two games in the Baker Bowl
hat-box netted 38 runs and SIS
hits. The Phils slaughtered four
New York pitchers in the opener,
13 to 6. In the nightcap Joe
Moore belted five hits and James,
Terry and O'Doul got four apiece,
the Giants winning 18 to l be-
hind Parmelee's steady pitching.
Mel OFT was the days batting
hero, however. The former
schoolboy phenom of the Giants
belted his twelfth, thirteenth and
fourteenth homers of the year.
One-ROund Bout
Bill Walker, of the Cards, and
Floyd Vaughan, of the Pirates,
put on the daily one-round bout
at Pittsburgh, following a col
lision at first base. The winner,
as usual, was the umpire, both
players getting the gate. st.
Louis won the ball game, 4-3,
on Ducky Mydwick's hit in the
twelfth.
The defeat left the BUGS three
games behind New York.
The Cubs gave Red Lucas the
works in the first inning and
trimmed Cincinnati, 10-6. Bill
Herman starred at bat with four
hits.
Van Mungo hurled Brooklyn
to a 3to-1 win over the Braves
after Ed Brandt had subdued
the Dodgers in the opener, 8-5.
AS In Landslide
Mickey Cochrane hit four for
four-a homer, triple, double and
single-as the AS combed four
Yank hurlers for 10 hits and won
by a is to landslide. Earnsnaw

The White Sox took fifth place
from the Tigers by grabbing two
close ones from them, 2 to /, and
4 to 3, on ninth-inning rallies.
Berry'S homer, his first of the
year, decided the opener and

Cable From BritOn
For Speed Race

DETROIT, Aug. 3.-Definite
assurance that Gar Wood will
have to defend the HarmsWorth
speedboat trophy this fall against
Sir Hubert Scott-Paine, British
challenger, was received here to-
day.
The Englishman cabled:
Have made definite arrange

The plans of the British
challenger are secret. He has
told no one what his boat will
be like. Even the type of motors
he will use is unknown.
Wood with his famous line of
Miss Americas has held the
trophy for II years. The last
two races ended in defeat for
British challenger Kaye Don.

injury kept him out of action.
But Heine is not due to stay
out of the lineup very long at
! this stage of the race, Manager
Cronin intimated today, because
of the value of the big outfielder
really is to his club in its fight
for the pennant.

cause 1 figured he needed
brief rest" Manager CrOnin
mused yesterday in the club
house after the game. "The big
boy has been working terribly
hard to help us keep in the
pennant race, and has felt the
strain as result. Therefore I
figured that a short rest would
do him good.
In all probability Manush will
be back in the Griffs' lineup for
today's second game of the series
with the Boston Red Sox. If he
is not, Goose Goslin, who played
left field yesterday, will continue
to hold down that berth while
Dave Harris will play right. II
Heine does play, no doubt Cronin
will fall back to his regular lineup
which has carried the Griffmen
to the envious position they hold
today-first place, by CAD!
And that's that.
1t was another hot day yester-
day, but the players braVed the
hot sun and put UP real game
for the 5000 or more customers
who turned out to witness the
proceedings.
LO and Behold!
Lo and behold! Newspapermen
are travelling with the Boston
team. Believe it or not, they
were found in the press box be-
fore and after the game, namely
Jack Mahoney, of the Boston Post,
and Dave Eagon, of the Boston
American. This is the first time
press representatives have tray

BUT LOST
BY GINO SINH

Lawrence A. Baker, Washington

tary, who accompanied the U. S
Davis Cup tennis team to Europe
can't see why there is so much
fuss and pother over its defeat a
the hands of the English.
"The British won and that's
all that there is to it," Baker
states. Naturally we are all
disappointed over the results,
but there is no denying the
English full credit for their
splendid victory. They played
marvelously and richly de-
served it.
1--WE mustn't lose sight of the
fact that Fred Perry and
Bunny" Austin are two of the
finest tennis players in the
world.
"Austin exhibited superb ten
mis- against Ellsworth Vines in
that fateful first match. He
performed like a man inspired,
and simply overwhelmed our
champion. Vines shouldn't be
panned for what he couldn't
help. He did his best but his best
wasn't good enough that day
and Austin came off victor"
LOSS TO PERRY
"His subsequent loss to
Perry in the final clash of the
series was only an exhibition,
1.-THE English had clinched
the series with Austin'S tri-
nmph over Wilmer AlliSOn) and
that match was even until
Vines twisted his weak ankle.
"AllisOn staged great battle
in both of his matches, but
it wasn't his day, and he
lost. At one time in his
match with Austin he seemed
on his way to victory. but
the tide of battle turned
against him. After all, the
British were every bit as
anxious as we to win, and For
tune smiled on them.
"Our boys were in perfect
physical condition for every
match, and thoroughly imbued
with the will to win.
"The British team had a
much harder road to travel to
the interZone final than we.
They were the survivors of a
battle which involved "a ma

players of lOng-standing inter-
national reputation and ex-
perience. The United States

CzechO- Slovakia in the Euro
pean semifinals and less than

team they tOppled Australia in
the zone finals.
"a few days after their
triumph over the United States
they wrested the Davis Cup
from the French in a gruelling
series of matches. 1t was a
month of terrific tennis cOmpe-
titiOn. Certainly no true sports
man would detract one iOta of
hard earned credit from their
heroic achievement.
"We just lost. that is all that
there is to it. Defeats and up
sets are just as much a part of
sports as victories and just as
natural. They are the fortunes
of war"
Baker believes that the shift of
challenge round play from the
"en-tout-cas" courts to
turf will greatly en-
hance the Americans chances of
capturing the famous bowl next
year.
