TERRYVILLE
 SPORTS

Terryville, Aug. The fair grounds is expected to be the mec- ca of large crowd this evening to witness the softball contest be- tween Henry Kamen's American Legion team and the Wallace Barnes team of Bristol in their second contest.
 Kamens assisted by John Gibbs and Howard Whear have had the Legion outfit working hard on the Mount Tobe road during the past week getting them in shape for this evenings contest.
 While Commander Kamens is keeping his battery secret, it is understood he is planning to start Billy Bertnagle on the mound with Ted Salmon receiving the offerings. Tom Halpin, who pitched a great game last week, will be shifted to the outfield this evening in the hopes that this old-time warrior of the baseball diamond will cover much territory and assist Gibbs, Whear and White in pulling down the Wallace-Barnes hits. It is felt that if Halpin doesp lay in the out field that he will back up the others who made many errors last week and allowed the Bristol team to win.
 The game will start promptly at o'clock and providing there isn't too much hitting the game will be over before darkness sets in.

AMERICA'SCUP BID BY BRITAIN
 LIKELY IN l937
By H. l.. PERCY

United Press Staff Correspondent. London U.P.)-Britain expects to challenge for the Americas Cup in 1887.
 The probable challenger is Charles R. Fairey, millionaire manufacturer of the Fairey air. 1 planes, and owner of Sir Tommy" Lipton's yacht Shamrock V. Fairey would build a new yadht next winter, give her a season in British waters-in which to test a new streamlined steel mast, with specially stressed rigging with which he is experimenting, and also with various combinations of sails-and then challenge in 1887. "I am seriously considering en- tering for the Americas Cup," he ] said in an interview, "as soon as my aircraft commitments enable me to devote the necessary time to yachting and to the selection and training of really first-class crew.
 1887 Earliest Date
 Recent important developments in aviation in this country (mean- ing the Royal Air Force expan- sion) are likely to keep me too fully occupied to allow me any chance of entering for next years cup, but if at all possible I shall consider making a bid for the Americas Cup in 1937." After Thomas o. M. Sopwith's failure with Endeavour last year, Fairey generally was mentioned as the next challenger. The possibil- ity of challenge became more likely, however. when the New l York Yacht Club and the Yacht Racing Association of Britain, after six months of negotiations, agreed to a re-framing of the rules which caused so much disagree ment in the Endeavour-R Rainbow races.
 The most important of these al- terations affects the measurement of "J" class yachts.
 Two Points Disputed
 There were two points of dis pute. American yachtsmen mea- sured the freeboard of their l Aug. 6-First round matches, IS holes.

 The "electric eye" is a de- vice which makes motion pie ture records of the running of a horse-race and records the time within a hundredth of a second. The commission de- cided to adopt the device be- cause "no decision by human observation even approximates the accuracy of the electric eye"

JUST AN OFF YEAR LOU SAYS AS BAT
 FAILS HIM BADLY
Former Eastern Leaguer Played l,6OOth Game
 To-day
BY HENRY SUPPER

United Press Stan C0rrespOndentl
 New York, Aug. s.-UP1s Henry Lou Gehrig, basebalrs .4roH horse,' passes another milestone in his diamond career to-day.
 When the New York Yankees meet the Philadelphia Athletics at the Yankee stadium, Gehrig will participate in his 1600th consecu- tive major-league game-a record which should remain on the books for decades.
 Ten years ago, on June 1. 1925, a husky, broad-shouldered youth of 22, took his post at first base for the Yankees. And ever since that day, Columbia Lou," as he was known, has handled that as- signment in every game the New Workers have played. The total hours he has been in action during the past decade would add up to 135 days of "A hours each with no time out for meals or rest. The only person ever to approach this record was Everett Scott, also Yankee, who played 1907 con- | Secut1ve contests.
 Too Bad
 The end of another chapter in Lou's career finds him having one 1 of his worst seasons. His batting average to-day is a mere .323 com- pared to an all-time mark at the end of the 1884 season of .345. He has cracked out only 17 homers and a year ago he led the circuit with 49.
 The streak, Lou claimed to-day, has nothing to do with his batting.
 After I've passed 1900 I'll aim at 1700. This streak has had nothing to do with my failure to hit this season. A fellow cant go on hitting 1850 or better year after year. He's got to come up with an off-season now and then--and I guess this is the one for me-"
 During his streak Gehrig has played in four world series; led the American league twice in hom- CTS; tied the league record for four homers' in one game; was voted the most valuable player in 1927. led the league in batting last year and married Eleanor Twitchelt of Chicago in September, 1893.
 Hot and Cold
 Gehrig fattened his average yes- terday with two hits out of four as the Yankees lost to the Boston Red Sox in the opening game of a double header 6-5. Gehrig went hitless in the second which the Yankees won 6-4. The New York; CTS failed to make any progress and stayed four games behind the league-leading Detroit Tigers who were idle. The Chicago White Sox and Cleveland Indians split, the Indians winning the first 5-2 and the Sox the second, 2-1 in ten innings.
 In the National league the lead ing New York Giants, although idle, increased their margin to 3H games when the second place l Chicago Cubs lost 60 to Pitts burgh. The third-place St. Louis Cardinals pulled up to within one , game of the Cubs by defeating the Cincinnati Reds Az. No other games were played in either league.

yachts Cor height of a yachts hull above water) different way from British yachtsmen. Secondly the Yacht Racing association insisted on the immersion marks of a yacht showing above water at the time of the race.
 This point was not conceded at first by the Americans because they measured a yacht for immer- sion marks without crew aboard or fresh water in her tanks.
 This meant that when the crew came aboard on the day of the race, and fresh-water tanks were filled, the yachts water-line was actually heightened, which would make her faster when reaching (sailing with the wind abeam).
 After considerable discussion the British have agreed to accept the Americans way of measuring free board, and the Americans have ac- cepted the British ruling regarding immersion marks.

Harry Sperling, Administrative Assistant with the Forest Service, and Frank Dufresne, Assistant Exc cutiye Officer of the Alaska Game Commission, returned Sunday night on the Grizzly Bear from week end inspection trip to the Taku River where a Forest Service eco crew has been taking out beaver dams to prevent flooding of the forest areas. The work is now com pleted and the workmen have been transferred to CCC camps on the Glacier Highway.
 The river is exceptionally low now, Sperling said, due to cold spell the 17th. It dropped six inches Saturday night while the men were there. All the old beaver dams were taken out, he reported, but the beavers are rebuilding some of them, which is natural proceed ure. It was the great number of old, abandoned dams that caused the flood troubles, he explained.
