Yankee Has Trouble.

V YANKEE had difficulty in break
I ing out her spinnaker, and 1t
was well over 10 minutes be-
fore she had one set, one spinnaker
ripping and another having to be
hoisted in its place. In the mean
time Yankee, under ballooner alone,
reached up across the feet to take
advantage Of what the Narragansett
shore might offer. There she seemed
to find q little more breeze, which
allowed her to hold her lead until
the shift of the wind came.
In the meantime, Rainbow had set
her parachute, as had Istalena and
Carolina, but the wind appeared too
light for this type of spinnaker.
Windward and Andiamo had put on
double luffed kites, while Vanitie and
Weetamoe stuck to the conventional
single spinnakers and reaching jibs.
Thus the fleet ran out for about 5
miles with the breeze slowly dying
and finally it shifted into the south
east. The new breeze struck the two
leaders, Rainbow and Yankee, about
the same time, but Yankee, having to
set no headsail, felt its benefit first.

HOWEVER, until their ninth turn

alton by drilling into force play.
With a triple by Berg and a single by
Galatzer in the ninth, though, q run
that loomed larger than the Depart
ment Of Commerce building went
across.
In the meanwhile, the Nationals
had damaged Hildy to the extent of
only one score. That in the sixth
when Manush, Travis and Myer
singled. There would have been
more but for a one-hand grab Of
Bottoms liner by the shortstop. AS
it was, that liner meant only q third

Rainbow Gains on Yankee.

~ and Rainbow were on even
terms, but the Vanderbilt craft
pulled out a margin of minutes and
At seconds as she came down across
the formers bow. They were timed:
Rainbow, 2:25:44: Yankee, 2:28:30;
Weetamoe, 2:2854; Vanitie, 2:29:20;
Andiamo, 2:39:19; Windward, 2:44:26;
Istalena, 2:46:25, with Carolina far
astern.
The four big boats reached to the
finish, carrying big light jibs. In
time, Rainbow gained nine seconds
on Yankee during these Is miles,
although the navigator Of the Boston
sloop calculated that, in distance,
Yankee had picked up 200 yards.
Yankee pulled out wee bit on
Weetamoe but not enough to nullify
the handicap of an earlier start, so
that Weetamoe's elapsed time was ~
seconds faster than Yankees, making
her off1cially second. Vanitie dropped
astern.
The boats were timed at the start
as follows: Yankee, 12:10:45; Rain
bow, 12:11:12; Vanitie. 12:11:35;
Weetamoe. 12:11:39. The finish
times were Rainbow, 3:53:17; Yankee
3:56:12; Weetamoe, 3:56:44, and
Vanitie, 3:58:32.

BURKE'S SHUTOUT
IS MASTERPIECE
Lefty Holds Tribe to Three
HitS--WhitehiII Strong in
PinCheS in First.
BY JOHN B. KELLER.


y N THIS waning season the Ma
tionalS have little chance to be-
come better of In standing than
L they now are. But they have
served notice that Capital fan
dom may expect some fine base ball
OF its club in the few games remaining
on the schedule here.
This they did yesterday as they
bowled over the Indians in both ends
of a double-header Theirs was the
spirit Of the club that drove to a flag
last year.
The twin skit was crammed with
great defensive play and high-grade
pitching provided by the Cronin crew
gallant rally that brought about
tie in the ninth inning and a win in
the tenth marked the 4-3 first game
In which Earl Whitehill hurled to
his eleventh success of the season. In
the second set-to Bob Burke rose to
hurting heights for a 1-to-0 victory.

Burke'S Best Since 81.


n URKE'S performance was a mas
n terpiece. Only three hits did
the stringbean southpaw yield.
Just two passes. One Indian got as
far as third base in the first inning.
Two later got as far as second base.
1t was the best piece Of pitching done
by Sir Robert since his no-hit game
against the Red Sox back in 81.
The lanky left-hander's hand had
to be hot. Monte Pearson, his slab
rival, also was in fine fettle. He gave
up only four hits. But Pearson lost
control in a round before a hit was
made of him and that lapse cost him
the ball game.
Although hit freely In the FIRST
fray-the Indians collected IL safe
ties-the Earl was at his best much
of the time bases were occupied. In
this game the Nationals outhit the
Tribe, gathering IA safeties of the
right-handed stuff sent their way
by Oral Hildebrand. The bulk Of the
hitting was done by Schultz. Travis
and Bolton. Each got three hits,
and their attack told heavily.

TREASURY FACES
MORE Borrowing
Low interest Rate Expected
on Financing About
Is Billions.
BY CHAs. r. sHAEFFER.

The administration expects no DIFF
flculty In borrowing at low interest
rates all the money it needs this
fiscal year-a potential $4,000. .ooo,-
900. including rehnsncing and pos
sible conversion of Liberty bonds.
At the end Of the hScal year on
June 80 the average interest rate paid
by the Government on all its obligs-
tions was S,lsl per cent. the loves.
for any fiscal year end since 1917.
However, due TO the condition Of
the money market at the present time,
the Treasury has been able to boT-
row on six-month bills for some time
at OF per cent The latest lonES
term bond issue--in June--was at 8
per cent.
1t was pointed out in ofaclsl quar-
terS that Government bonds are sell
ing In the New York market y. peak
prices-demonstrating a strong de-
mand-and that the Nations hanks
have huge excess reserves-money
which Is not being used.
This condition, II was explained.
makes the public eager to invest IN
Government obligations even at low
interest rates because there Is no
other demand for the money.
Under President Roosevelt's budget
estimate, the maximum that viii be
borrowed in new money this fiscal
year is approximately $4,000, ,00o. 600;
but administration officials do not ex-
pect 1t TO reach this figure. They
count on improved business conditions
increasing revenue and thus reducing
borrowings.
In addition. Treasury obligations
bills, notes and certificates Of In
MISUNDERSTANDING due this fiscal
year total approximately $4,000, ,000,~
0oo Other obligations of similar na-
ture usually are issued to meet the
matLrities.
Then there Is anctkfr $1,000, 900,
900 of Liberty bonds which may be
called and converted into smaller in
teress bearing obligations. This al
ready has been done to some extent
to save money. Whether these bonds
win be called win depend largely on
the condition Of the market.
