hearing at Camden on Tuesday,
the day after the theft, and was
committed to Jail in default of
$500. He was arrested by the
constable there on suspicion of
horse stealing because he traded
the horse worth $3.50 or $175 for
an old one and SO and then sold
the one he traded for $40. A Mr.
Emory Burnite, from near Hend-
erson, Md, recognized him in jail
as the man who stole a horse from
him a short time before and which
he was then in search Of. This
Tugret must be a peculiarly hard
ened wretch; the night of the same
day he was put in jail, the Sentin-

RAINBOW HOPING
FOR LIGHT BLOW
Skipper Admits Endeavour
Is SWifter Craft in
Heavy Weather.
BY TOM HORGAN,


N EXPORT, r. l., September 20,
M Win or lose, Rainbow, de-
| Y fender of the Americas Cup,
was to go to the starting line
today, if there was sufficient wind,
with her skipper, Harold S. Vanderbilt,
satisfied that nothing can be done
to make her a faster opponent of
Endeavour, T. o. NJ Sopwiths British
challenger for the Americas Cup.
The invader has won two straight
races in moderate breeze.
Vanderbilt made no attempt to dis
guise the fact he felt Rainbow's best
chance is in light air, and that the
challenger holds the edge in heavy
weather.
The contest will be decided by the
best four out of seven races, and
with Endeavour holding a two-race
lead, there is no purpose in concealing
the danger of the Americas Cup re-
turning to England, after an 83-year
absence, unless light air rules during
the balance of the series.

Result Never in Doubt.

"HERE never was any real doubt
about the outcome of the game

in the brilliant audience could have
suspected the final result would be
otherwise. If that suspicion crept in.
it rode on the wings of those few fleet
ing moments when the gentlemen from
below the Rio Grande seemed to find
themselves. Those thrilling minutes
of the sixth period, when the visitors
pulled up from 72 to rs with a
brilliant rally, typified the potential
strength of the invaders.
Colonies gaSped and generals
clutched at their medals when the
Mexicans hit top form. They were
outrun half the time. On occasion
they played like men in a daze,
humping into one another, striking
out wildly at imaginary willows, max
ing long set-up runs which ended with
no one to carry the ball through the
posts.
Then these flashes of confidence
came upon them. The ratio changed.
Instead of six Americans to four
Mexicans, as it often seemed when
the tide was turned otherwise, there
appeared one or two swarthy stalwarts
who covered the whole field. They
drove long shots. They smashed into
their would-be interference and sent
It flying. They scored. Thrice in
that sixth period they scored. Capt.
Reyes, who might as well have been
In the shower during the first half,
came 10 life and sloughed the ball
here and there. Capt. Nava turned
on some of the stick work for which
he Is famed, and added another to his
pair of goals. They drew within
striking distance of victory and then
they faded. The humping and inco-
herence, the sorrowful misses abound
ed once more.

Their mounts lack speed. Time and

yesterday.
On the other side of the balance
sheet the MexicanS have the magnifi-
cent Perez, a stone wall against all
assaults. They list in the lineup Capt.
Nava, who can make his mallet do
more wonders than it performed un-
der stress of the first contest. Capt.
Reyes has power when he slips out of
the penumbra into his proper state,
and even Capt. Gracia, who seemed
least effective of all on the opening
day, can swing a ball high between

Dougan, as they clinched again, did
things with the lace of his glove.
How va like that?" he sneered as
Burl quickly careSsed stinging cheek.
Bang!
''Thass howl" as the Toy Bulldog
wheezed from a shot to the midrif.
And thus for eight rounds OF q
sizzling battle at Griffith Stadium.
The dialogue is furnished by Char
ley Reynolds, referee.
What he didn't know perhaps
was that Eddie Burl and LIE Roy
Dougan are warm friends. They
train together, play pinochle by
the hour and pal on all occa-
sions-except in the ring.
Three times they've fought. and
fought is correct, with everything
even. each winning decision and
the third bout an undisputed draw.
"HE District Boxing Commission,
in barring the sale of bottled
pop at ring shows. takes leaf
from the book of Goldie Ahearn, when
Goldie was a wrestling promoter.
The game of bouncing bottles of
the conks of rasslers got too hot" says
Ahearn, "and I had heck OF time
breaking it up. 1 put guard over
the pop stand to see that nobody took
a bottle to his seat and burned If we
didn't catch a woman hiding one in
her handbag"
Maybe everybody won't agree, but
it seems a skunky trick to bust an en-
tertainer with a pop container. Yet
rassling fanatics have gone further.
For instance, there was the case OF
mat villain at Boiling Field. This
baby, played across the board as the
meanest of 'em all, one night wished
he hadn't been so clever.
The climax was a dive from
the ring into the seats. He
picked a spot where the chairs
were unoccupied and took on
in a welI-practiced plunge.
He landed with a crash that not
only smashed a chair or two but
nearly tore himself apart.
But that didn't satisfy nearby
villain hater.

Rainbow Crew Is Fast.

lost observers are of the opinion
Nl that one of Rainbows ad-
vantages in light weather is
the ability of her crew to handle light
sails faster than the Britishers. They
are much more cumbersome than the
regular working canvas of cup yacht
and Endeavour's crew has given sew
eral exhibitions of mishandling them.
Sopwith pursues starting tactics
radically different from Vanderbilt. He
places prime importance upon having
his boat moving fast at the start and
is less concerned about winning the
weather berth. Vanderbilt, on the
other hand, has Rainbow dancing like
a fencing master just before the start
and is not satisfied unless he has his
charge to windward Of his opponent
when the signal comes.

was much more decisive than yester-

Enthusiasm to Swell Proceeds.

EntnuSlaSm 70 swell Proceeds.
.THIS Fall the cut will be consid-
i erably bigger. The enthusiasm
of the Detroit fans will bring
the winning shares up to $4,000 at
least. This sum, combined with the
reckless munificence of Mr.. Ford, will
make victory in the series worth
$4,000 to each and every Tiger or
Giant, as the case may be.
l don't know what effect the
Ford money will have on the
broadcasters.
It may increase their normal
confusion to realize that some one
outside their own office is paying
to hear them refer to q hit-and-
run play as a squeeze. Or it may
shame them into q close and calm
observation of the game.
To tell the truth, the standards of
base ball broadcasting are higher now
than they were few years ago, when
Mr.. iris Speaker, operating in the
Middle West, was the only announcer
of my acquaintance who could make
you understand what was going on
The boys know more about base ball
now, and they do not treat it as
though it were combination clam
bake and baby parade.
You still see the Chinks in their
armor from time to time. There was
a good deal of confusion when Jimmy
Wilson made his unfortunate throw
to third base in the series of 1881.
There was confusion in the
minds of the ann0uncers, but, after
all, there was confusion tn the
+. mind of every one present except
Eddie Collins. It's not q very fair
example.
Perhaps the Ford money will spur
the radio boys on to better things. It
certainly won't spoil the series for
any of the athletes or their wives and
children.

to the radio broadcasting people, has
assured the ball players in the coming
world series of rich haul-the rich
est in several years. The boys on the
winning team are likely to collect as
much as $4,000 apiece.
Mr. Ford has bought up the broad
casting rights for 100000. 1t may
surprise you to know that radio an
nouncers are paid for their work at
ball games, instead of being forced
to pay something themselves for the
privilege Of deluding the public.
