In plans for returning mail con-
tracts to private enterprise there is
no evidence that the principles of a

Mail flying was not needed in order

defending the Americas Cup, labored
far into the night preparing her for
a scheduled resumption of her battle
with Harold S. Vanderbilt's Rainbow

Yankee was forced by an accident
to her rigging to drop out of yes
terday's race after she had overcome
long lead of Rainbow and passed
her. Her jumper strut, part of the
support of Yankees lofty mast, splin-
tered, just as the wind hauled, and
prevented her carrying on without
risking loss of the spar. The race
was called off and declared mo con-

Two of Yankees crew worked in

Dear Benneh

1ICdL D1AAAA(AA'
Your little tete-a-tete with
Petey Sarron here the other
night seems to have aroused
quite controversy-a fact
which may or may not surprise
you.
1t is charged by some that you
deliberately fouled Petey in that sixth
round but there are lots of folks
on your side, too. Visiting fight man
ayers, as you know, call Washington
a "rube" town, and you probably can
appreciate their viewpoint after read
ing a couple of our newspapers that
they think Sarron put on an "act"
and wasn't really fouled at all.
AS a flghter-and a great one
you possibly can appreciate Sarron's
position also. If, deep down in your
heart, there fingers any doubt at all
about the blow being just a wee bit
questionable, know you can muster
this appreciation. Because, here in
Washington, Petey Sarron is looked
upon by most cash customers as a
gilt-edged guarantee of action every
time he sets foot in a ring.
He has given local fans more for
their shekels than any fighter in
the last five years and now, still
unable to walk on account of that
blow, he Is told in some quarters
that he put on an act"

What It's All About.

NN THROUGH the Summer sail
" ing, the Yankee had topped the
Rainbow something like 10
races to four, but in the official cup
trials they stood one-all when yes
terday'S race started. So the Yankee
and the Rainbow-Charles Francis
Adams, 68-Harold Vanderbilt, So
100 years experience at sea-continue
to fight it out in the greatest elimina-
ton trials ever known.
The Yankee still has the edge
over the past performance chart. She
must be beaten more than once to
lose her place as the defender-for,
until the accident took place yester-
day, the Adams boat had come from
far behind to have at least an even
chance and take possibly a killing
lead on the full counts
Millions of inlanderS might
ask what il is all abOut-they
would have got their answer
yesterday il they had only been
around. Action and beauty
combined make up the major
part of sport.
And don't overlook the British En-
deavour and a man named Sopwith-
seaman and a competitor who
knows his job-who followed today
like a haunting wraith-a ghost ship
against the sky.

Gelb Learned-and How

NTAYBE this doesn't mean much
V to you, Benneh, because ap-
parently you know very little
about Petey. You took him so lightly
the other night that you also sched-
uled a fight for yourself Friday of
this week with Eddie Shea at Atlantic
City At that, you probably know
more about Petey now than before
Monday night. You know he is no
set-up, that he outbuxed and out
punched you for FIVE whole rounds,
that he knew the way to fight a
puncher like you was to stay en- top
of you all the time-the way you
don't like fighter to do and that
if the scrap had gone the route
you'd have been licked good and
proper.
But here's what l wanted to warn
you about. Once upon time Mike
Gelb, lightweight like you. roughed
up Sarron at Portner's Arena, a little
fight club across the Potomac where
no boxing commission ruled. That
probably was the last roughing Gelb
gave a guy for long time Because
Mr.. Sarron ups and gives Gelb the
head butt, the elbow, the knee and
inside of three rounds had Mkt half
dead and yelling for help. Petey
fights clean as long as you do bu;,
man alive, don't get him started on
the rough stuff.
If you check on this I'm sure it
will prove to your advantage If
you're considering a return bout
as per Sarron's suggestion. In
fact, if the fight is held as Petey
suggested. 1 think Washiongton
will witness the cleanest, most
polite fight in its history. If not, it
will be a legal alley brawl and
you run second.
This is no reflection on your ability,
Benneh. l just thought I'd tell you
I know you'd do the same for me.
Sincerely yours,
FRANCIS STAN.

PHILADELPHIA, August 2e.-It
- was the ninth inning of that
final game of Detroit's in
Washington. The score was q
tie, thanks to an eleventh-hour homer
hit by big Hank Greenberg. Marv
Owen, Tiger third baseman, was
teetering on third and the hero of
the hour. Lynwood Rowe, was at bat.
when went up to the plate I
just knew I'd drive Owen in with the
winning rum" said Rowe. "I don't
know why-I just knew. Whether I
hit safely, drove out long fly, or
scored him with an infleld out didn't
make any difference. With Owen on
third, I knew the run was in"
Perhaps that explains as well as
anything the remarkable success story
from remote Ell Dorado, Ark, home Of
Schoolboy Rowe. The schoolboy, you
know, is today's pitching sensation of
the big leagues. besides being, In the

"Act' Not Typical.

THE reason ! am writing to you,
Benneh, is to warn you to think
twice before signing contract
to fight Sarron again. What hap
pened the other night isn't typical
of Sarron; not nearly as typical of
him as it is of fights involving your
self, loser of 10 of your IT fights
by foul. In fact, it never has hap
pened to Sarron before.
Personally, think Sarron has been
done a great injustice, so great, in
fact, as to cause a man of less stuff
than Petey to quit this "rube' town in
disgust. Sarron could do that very
well, Benneh, because he's got about

T%HE results of the Western tour

the Eastern jsunt of the De-

up as successful today regardless of
the outcomes of the final contests Of
the trips.
Each team had a four-and -one- half
game lead when it took the road and
hoped for little more than to hold it
until the final home stand after La
Dor day.
Today the Giants, after turning
back the Chicago threat, to l. yes
terday were five and one-half games
in the van. Detroit, rained out at
Philadelphia, still had its four and
one-half-game margin going into the
closing double-header in the East, one
game of which was to provide the op-
portunity for Schoolboy Rowe to at
tempt to break the American League
record for consecutive pitching VIC
tories.
