Will resume sailing arguments

Hoyt was a member of Vander-

congratulate Vanderbilt personally
was Prof. Kenneth 8. M. David

Quoted the tank tests, through

The Coast Guard, under COM
mand of Capt. J. F. Hotel, estab-

during the cup races. There were
numerous close calls In trafflc con-
gestion at the starting and finish
ing buoy, but not one serious mis-
hap was reported. Instead of
searching for Nova Scotia sloop
Phantom, which had been unre-
ported since leaving Lunenberg the
day before the races began, the
Coast Guard took her crew of six
out to see the final race. Owned by
H. G. Stairs, Phantom survived
gales and Gains to reach Newport
just in time to dissipate alarm for
her welfare and join the last days

second-place Giants outlasted the Gin
cinnati Reds to take 20 decision in
IL innings. Clyde Castleman, just out
OF the hospital and still suffering from
the back ailment that put him there
two weeks ago, allowed eight hits to
best Lefty Lee Grissom in a close one.
1ron-horse Lou Gehrig found the
range with pair of homers, and the
Yankees swept their four-game series
with the White Sox and stretched their
American League lead to nine full
games with 1873 decision. Jake
Powell was sent to the hospital after
being tagged by one Of Monte STRAIT
tons fast ones.
The Red Sox staggered through with
5-4 edge over the Indians, thereby
extending their streak to 10 games
without loss. Hank Greenbergs
homer gave the Tigers a So win over
the Athletics. The Browns belted the

HARRIS BIG WORRY
Browns Take Set Despite
Splurge by Travis When
Cleanup Man Fails.
BY FRANCIS f. STAN,

VEN the most prolific varclub
~ in all base ball at the moment,
which is that Of Cecil Travis,
- plus the right hot stick Of
young Buddy Lewis, cannot carry
an entire ball club and the Nationals
are becoming more and more painfully
aware of this item.
Travis gathered II hits in Is official
times at bat during the three game
series with the Browns for fantastic
average of 1888. Almost single-hand-
edly he won the opener of the set, but
he could do no more. Between them.
Cece and Buddy accounted for seven
of the Mats l3 hits yesterday, but the
Browns won a 7to-4 verdict and made
of with the series, to l.
This was the first series dropped by
the Mats since Detroit took q set in
the West or July 19 and Manager
Bucky Harris is worried. He appre-
clates that a team must lose now and
then but BuCky doesn't like the way
the Griffs are doing it. If the opposi-
ton can stop the thriving rooming
team of Lewis and Travis it has
stopped the Washington club. At least
this has been the way things have
been working.

much difference whether they win

cinating as it is expensive.
Ranger didn't set all the rec
ords at this years seagoing soiree.
New highs in editorial fantasy
came close to causing some inter-
national incidents. Sopwith felt
keenly he was subjected to unjus-
tlfled flights of criticism by rail-
birds but refused to "squawk"
publicly. Aside from that slip-up
on the last start, Sopwith and his
crew made fewer and less con-
splcuous mistakes than Skipper
'Mlke"Vanderbilt. But Ranger was

Both Endeavours in REGATTA.


COMPETING in these races will be
0 class J boats, q record for this
country. Ranger and Endeavour II
will have as opponents three veterans
Of previous cup campaigns. They are
Sopplths first Endeavour, which failed
to lift the cup in 1894; Chand-
Ter Hovey's Rainbow, with which
Vanderbilt defeated the old Endeavour
that year, and Gerard B. LAmbert's
Yankee, which took second place iii
the last three defense trials.
Sopwith, among the first to con-
gratulate Vanderbilt after Ranger S
decisive triumph yesterday, said with
out reservation the defender possessed
more speed than his big blue chal-
lenger. He predicted Ranger had
ushered in a new era in yacht con-
struction, declaring her remarkable
speed WAS proof of the value OF test
ing models in tanks.
All four races Of the series were
sailed in balmv. flying fish weather,
but it was noticea bic Endeavour II
came much closer to furnishing
Ranger with real competition when
the breeze exceeded 10 knots.

Simmons Slump Worries Bucky.

a L SIMMONS is Harris chief worry
at the moment. Bucky has con-
fessed that if he had another out
fielder he would give AL a rest for
three or four days.
Al was hitting when the Mats came
out of the West on July 81 to open
the current home stand. But once he
reached Griffith Stadium he lost stride.
In nine games at home he has made
only eight hits in 40 times at bat for a
200 average. Compare this with
Travis .476 since he came to the sta
dlum and the letdown between the No.
hitter and the cleanup man Is all
too apparent.
Al left five runners on base yester-
day as Lou Koupal and Elon Hogsett
pitched to victory over Pete Appleton,
Ed Linke and Ken Chase. Here, too,
was another shock. Appleton, hottest
of all the Nat pitchers In the last two
weeks, cooled off completely and by
the fifth inning, when he was waved
off the premises, St. Louis held
7-to-O lead.
Valiantly did Messrs. Lewis and
Travis head rally after rally designed
to put the Griffs back into the game
but, in the end, they fell far short.
