PARK BANK OFFSET.
SOUGHT IN APPEAL.
Two Depositors Continue
Fight to Get Credit. on
Their Loans.

Fighting for the right of offset"
in an insolvent bank, L. M. Rice and
Mrs Estelle M. Dominy, depositors In
the Park Savings Bank, yesterday ap-
pealed to the United States Court of
Appeals from a decision by Justice
Gordon in District Supreme Court
diSmissing their complaint against
John F. Moran, receiver Of the bank.
Both Rice and Mrs. Dominy had
borrowed from the bank. When their
notes fell due Receiver Moran forced
collection and the depoSitors paid
their debts in full. The depositors'
notes, however, had been turned over
to the Chase National Bank on loan
made by the Park Bank from the
Chase. When the interbank loan was
paid off the notes were returned to the
depositors, along with their collateral
which had been put up as security.
Certain other notes by other people
also had gone through the interbank
loan transaction, but the debtors had
refused payment until later. When
they did pay they were allowed an
offset of their deposits in the bank
against their note, thus reducing their
net obligation to the bank.
In the case of Rice and Mrs. DOM
my the receiver denied offset and suit
was brought. Justice Gordon ruled
that the transaction in which the
plaintiffs took back their collateral
and Cancelled notes ended the matter
and forfeited their right to Offset.
The case on appeal carries a set of
facts believed to be similar to those
in many other bank cases throughout
the country. "A final judicial deter
mination of the issue will be awaited
with interest by many bank depoeitors
and attorneys.
The plaintiffs are represented by
John R. Reed and Charles v. INLAY,

The Endeavour's Chance.

"HERE Is now a general feellng at
Newport that a challenging
yacht at last has a healthy
chance.
This feeling is based upon the
fact that the Endeavour is just
about as good boat as the defending
Rainbow and that Skipper Sopwith is
thoroughgoing sailor who knows
what it is all about.
There still is some doubt on the out
side as to how the mixture of amateur
and professional sailors will work out
under pressure - especially If the
weather should take on freakish turn.
Skipper Sopwith doesn't share this
concern. ct am more than satisfied
with my crew." he said. They are
keen hustlers and they know their
work"
When you consider a mast that is
1875 feet in height, and some 10000
square feet of canvas to handle in
wind, all to be carried along at top
speed, the part the crew plays is no
minor role.
One of the features aboard the En-
deavour is Mrs. Sopwith helping to
sew sail or carry on other duties
whenever needed. She has been and
will be big help to the boat that Mr..
Sopwith hopes will take away the
trophy lifted from British shores nearly
80 years ago.

were a gloomy crowd that night with

supporters shook their heads sadly
and whispered that it was all over.
Nothing short of miracle could
WELD this demoralized group into
an effective unit, yet Vanderbilt sue

won the next race by 3 minutes and
7 seconds. Yankee made valiant
comeback in the third race and had
a slight lead when an accident de-

That was her last bid and the New

n YEW YORK, September l.
M Both major leagues found
IN new batting leaders during
the past week, as Paul Waner
of Pittsburgh and Lou Gehrig of the
New York Yankees forged to the
front.
All Waner had to do was to hold
his own to pick up a 10-point lead
over Bill Terry of the New York
Giants, former National League lead
er. Waner lifted his average l point
to 1857, while Terry dropped II to
.357.
Gehrig moved up from fourth place
among American League leaders to
GUST Heinie Manush of Washington
from the top place he had held for
many weeks. Gehrig gained points
to 1854, while Manush dropped to 1853.

Finally Stand Pat.

VXYHICH of these changes are re-
/" sponsible for the sudden i'm
provement of Rainbow may
never be known. In fact, her after
guard cannot tell for certain, and dur
ing the last two weeks they have been
unwilling to touch a thing aboard the
craft for fear that it might slow her up.
Perhaps all three of these changes
contributed a share in the rapid prog
ress of Rainbow following the race on
Buzzards Bay when she appeared her
poorest. At any rate, the next day on
the run to Vineyard Haven she sue
ceeded in beating Yankee up the wind
for the first time this season, although
she was trounced running before it
down Vineyard Sound. Again the next
day Rainbow established an impressive
lead, only to drop into soft spot 5
miles from the finish and watch her
rivals sail round her.
That was the last defeat, but one
that Rainbow suffered, for the next
day she waltzed round the course
to win the Aston Cup for sloops
handily and defeat Yankee by over
six and a half minutes. The follow
ing day in a flukey breeze she won
the Kings Cup from Yankee and
Weetamoe in race lacking wind

N less the groggy, punches
Y Nationals suddenly come to
life at the tee, they may set
some sort of a record low Tor team
batting.
Banging out only six hits yesterday,
they brought their total number of
safeties for the last four games to
only 20. To gain those 20 hits they've
stepped to the plate 122 times for an
average of .179.
A stick mark like this won't win
ball games in any league, especially
when only seven runs were scored. 1t
isn't difficult to see why the Athletics
are only three games back of the Ma
tionals and why seventh place-where
a Washington team hasn't reposed
aged-yawns for Joe Cronin's champs
of 1888.
Heinie Manush, though, is doing
better, thanks. With two hits in four
trips to the dish yesterday the big
left fielder gained three points on Lou
Gehrig, who went hitless in three Off
cial tries. Manush picked up one
point, bringing his mark to 1853, while
Lou lost two points and dropped to
