NEWPORT, R. l., Sept. 26. =
Rainbow didn't beat Endeavour, it
was Harold Vanderbilt IS skilled
seamanship that triumphed over
the comparative ineXperience of T.
o. M. Sopwith.
Since the age of eight Vanderbilt
has sailed the seas that surround
the snug harbor of Newport. He
learned the language of the winds
and the temperament of the tides.
He understood the signs made by
a sagging sail and the whispers
that ran through the rigging. He
grew up with a tiller in his hand
and the salt spray in his face.
Now, at the age of 81, he is an
old sea-dog-master of the Vara,
his motor yacht and ruler of the
Rainbow.
But T. o. M. Sopwith, who guild
ed the Endeavour, was compare
tive novice. He grew up with a
life divided between the land and
the air, mingling with motors and
later with airplanes, rather than
mainsailS and halyards. Up to q
few years ago he never had hand
led a boat of any sort, and it was
not until last year that he had ev-
er been at the helm of class j
yacht. And he couldn t be ex-
pected to learn in such a short
span of time, what his rival had
Imperial Valley press., 1934-09-26

gathered in a life lived on the
water.
Under the circumstances it was
no disgrace that Sopwith was out
smarted, out maneuvered and out
sailed by what many believe to be
a slower craft.
But outsailed he was. Not once,
but a hundred times, you heard
from men who know boats:
off Vanderbilt and his profess
sional crew were on Endeavour, 1t
would be parade. -
Even a landlubber could spot
the class of Endeavour. She was
like a great horse being given a
poor ride by a poor jockey. What
Endeavour could do when given a
chance was never more clearly
shown than in the last eight miles
of the final leg yesterday, when,
with her mighty canvas bellleo TO
the wind, and nobody bothering
her, she came roaring toward the
stretch like an express train to
gain hundreds of yards on Rain
bow, and miss winning only be-
cause the distance ran out.
You couldn't help feeling sorry
for the beautiful blue-hulled beau
ty. You could almost hear her
say:
"Lawdy, if I had only had a
chance"
Oh. how she must have suffered
on that second lap yesterday. wen
ahead at the first turn, and Sic
ing the water like a giant cleaver,
you couldn't see how she coulc
lose. Then off the course they
drove her, halfway to Portugal II
seemed, to waste her speed chas-
ing rainbows.
Today in Newport everybody
had a word of sympathy for gen
ial Charles Nicholson, Endeavour s
designer. He came here for the
races knowing he had put on the
water as fine a class j sloop as
ever wore a spinnaker. 1t was MS
masterpiece, and in his quiet way
| he let you know that she was the
! fastest, footingest, sweetest thlng
| that ever went under sail.
! 1t must have torn his heart OUT
to see her licked the way she was

CARDS HAVE
SLIM CHANCE
FOR PENNANT 7

NEW YORK, Sept. 26. U.P)-The
st. Louis Cardinals can take the
National League lead from the
New York Giants today, by the
margin of one percentage point, if
the Cards defeat the Pirates and
the Giants lose to the Phillies.
In that event the standing at the
end of today's games would be:
w. L. Pct.
st. Louis ............................92 81 GIT
New York ........................93 So .6l6
This possibility remained after
yesterdays games in which the
Cards cut the faltering Giants
lead down to one game. The Cards
defeated Pittsburgh, 80, after Bill
Terry's world champions were
blanked, 40, by the seventh place
Phillies.
Behind "Dizzyp Deans six hit
pitching, st. Louis downed the Pr
ates, giving "Dizzy'' his 28th vic
tory of the season. The Corsairs
threatened in the ninth when Arkv
Vaughan hit q home run with
Paul Waner on base. Two doubles.
o single, a low throw and long
fly were punched for the three Red
Bird runs in the first.
A three run rally in the ninth
gave Boston S Braves 9-6 victory
over Brooklyn.
Phil Cavaretta, rookie first base
man of the Chicago Cubs made an
auspicious Chicago debut with
home run in the second that gave
the Cubs a 10 triumph over Gin
cinnati.
In the American League, the
Boston Red Sox became certain Of
a first division berth for the first
time since 1918. They beat Wash
ington 10 and 9-3.
Lou Gehrig celebrated his 1,500th
consecutive regular major league
game by driving out his 48th hom-
er of the season as the New York
Yankees blanked Philadelphia, SO.
This homer bettered Gehrig's best
previous total of At made in 1927.
In the only other scheduled
game, the st. Louis Browns shut
out Cleveland, 80.

NEWPORT, R. L, Sept. 26.-The
Americas cup, won 83 years ago
from the fleetest of EnglishIschoon

possession of the trustees of the
New York yacht club Once more
successfully defended against Brit
ish invasion.
Its retention, however, by virtue
of four to two victory by Harold
S. Vanderbilt's yacht, Rainbow, ov-
er T. o. M. Sopwith s sloop, En-
deavour, left bitterness, diSsension,
and some dissatisfaction which
may never be eradicated.
1t was almost certain that the
Royal yacht squadron, which Sop
with represented, will not chal-
lenge for the cup for many years.
Sopwith himself said he would new
er race for it again.
The climax of the race series off
Newport came four days ago when
the British skipper declared he had
been fouled by the defender. His
protest against illegal racing re-
ceived scant consideration from
the committee designated by the
New York yacht club to decide pro-
tests.
The committee did not say
whether Sopwith was right or
wrong in his contention he had
been fouled by the defender. 1t
merely said that it would not listen
to the COMPLAINT because Sopwith

A second climax, or perhaps an
anti-climax, came yesterday when
the American sloop, outsailing the
Britisher on one leg of the trian-
gular course, came home SIS seconds
in advance OF her rival, with red
protest flags flying from the
shrouds of both racing machines.
Vanderbilt, who finally won the
race, had protested Sopwith IS tao
tics in jockeying for the start. His
protest was met by a counter-pro-
test from the English boat. For
hours, after the race was physical
ly won, the question was open
whether the race committee would
uphold one or the other skipper.

WARD HEAD HITS

CHICAGO, March 9 GN.SD.
Breaking its silence for the first
time since the beginning of the at
tacks by a stockholders group
headed by Joseph Zook. the man
agement of Montgomery Ward
has come to grips with the dissent
erS in an appeal for proxies.
The battle ground will be the
annual meeting to be held here
on April 27.
Sewell L. Avery, chairman of
Montgomery Ward. is leading the
management's fight to retain con-
troll. Mr. Avery has been the par
ticular target of the Zook group,
particularly over the option given
him on 100000 shares of the COM
pany'S stock at $11 a share when
he became chairman in 1884.
The stock is now selling at
around $31 a share, giving Mr..
Avery a paper profit of $4,000, 900.
Mr.. Avery signed the letter
which has been mailed to all
stockholders, asking proxies for
the annual meeting.

RESERVES
HIT NEW PEAK

The daily average volume of
Federal Reserve Bank credit out
standing during the week ended
March 7, as reported by the Fed
eral Reserve Bank, was $685.
100000. decrease of $4,000 900
compared with the preceding week
and of ,O6O,OOO,OOO compared
with the corresponding week in
1888.
Increase of $22o,oOO,OOO in
member bank reserve balances
during the week raised the total
of excess reserves for the country
to more than $1,350,0OO,OOO a
new high. This compares with
last weeks figure of 81, 100 ,OOO, 900.
New York city banks had ex-
cess reserves Wednesday of $435,-
100000. compared with $751;
100000 the week before.
The rise in reserve balances re-
suited largely from Treasury pay
ment for gold imports and other
Treasury expenditures, financed
by the transfer of $257, 100000 of
gold certificates to the Federal Re
serve banks in order to build up
balances.
This was $1O2,oOO,OOO in excess
of the increase in monetary gold
stocks during the week. BY the
end of the period the Treasury
had deposits at the Reserve banks
of only $35,0OO,0OO, a decline of
$10,0OO,00O in the week.

Wives, es,LadyLawyers
Swell Guest List
For Bar Dinner

Lawyers must do their shopping
early for Bar Association dinner
tickets If they expect their reser.
vations to be recognized.
The dinner committee decided
at a recent meeting that the larg'
est dining room in the Mayflower
Hotel cannot accommodate more
than $500 diners and the reserva,
tions, accordingly, will be re-
stricted to that number.
This figure would be just
another big joke in connection
with previous bar dinners, but
this time the ladieS-wives of the
memberS-will be there, and this
alone will double the number of
those attending in the past. Even
the wives of attorneys who might
want to remain away from the
dinner will insist on being taken
by their husbands so they can see
what kind of an entertainment
the lawyers have been having for
themselves during the so or more
years the affairs have been barred
to female guests.
And lady lawyers will be in
vited to attend the dinner in
their own right-that is, they
will be invited to attend if they
have the $3.50 for the tickets.
Inviting the lady lawyers to
come to the dinner wouldn't
make any difference in the firm
of Maddox and Flynn, anyway.
Because Miss Flynn is married
to Mr.. Maddox and she would
come as his wife even if she
couldn't come as an attorney.
Edmund M. Toland is chairman
of the ticket committee and
William Labofish is secretary.
They have already announced
that the custom of taking reser-
vations for office tables will be
observed in the present dinner
which, by the way, will take place
early in April. The exact date
has not yet been determined.
President F. Regis Noel has
designated John Lewis Smith to
act as chairman of the commit
tee-the largest in point of num-
bers of any on the association
committee staff. Vice chairmen
are William r. Valance, Joseph
A. Burkart and Frederick D. Nc
Kenney. Col. j. Miller Kenyon
