FINALS DUE IN
YACHTING CUP
RACES TODAY
u. S. Wins Third Contest;
Contending Yachts Both
Fastest Ever Built

NEWPORT. X. l., Aug. g.
UP)-Britain's royal blue En-
deavour III. probably the fastest
racing J. SloOp ever built with
one exception, met that exception
for the third time yesterday on
the Americas cup racing course
off Brenton's LightShip, and went
down to her third straight defeat.
Harold Vanderbilt'S Ranger,
the killer boat" of cup racing
doomed down on the finish line;

The victory all but obliterated
the last veStige of hope that the
British challenger. 7. 0. NJ. Sop

has held for SO years.
Ranger needs one more victory,
and Immediately after the finish
Vanderbilt signified his intention
of going out today To get 1t. Sop
with also agreed to race today,
so the Set-up was ready for the
Knockout punch, and even En-
deavour lis most faithful sup
poreers did not doubt that 1t
would come.
EndeavOur III was beaten yes
terday by a Super-sailboat. She
was given all that strategy could
give her, and it is probable that
"Iron Mike" Vanderbilt, Rangers
willy skipper could not have done
more ut the wheel than Sopwith
did.
But Ranger walked out on n
windward beat that clipped Rain
bows record of 2:04:25 for the
l5-mile weather leg by more than
a half minute and then came
prancing home under the tug Of
her powerful parachute spinna-
ker.
Sopwith tried every trick in
the bag. He snapped at Rangers

Stinct.
1t was at once the closest and
most convincing race of the series
thus far. 1t was the closest, be-
cause Endeavour III, sailing her
heart out against a better boat,
came in less than 4 half mile be-
hind, when she was beaten by two
and three miles on her other
starts. 1t was the most convinc-
ing because it was never u queS-
ton of luck, of the wind or sail
ing skill.
Neither skipper made a mis-
take, and the race was run on
the merits of the boats. Today,
unless Ranger loses half her gear,
it should all be over.

Everybody did keep away. He was
wholly, utterly selfish. What honey
is to Buster Bear salt is to Prickly
Porky, and he didn't intend to share

So it was that Lightfoot the Deer,
Mrs. Lightfoot and the smart young
buck who had twice feared Mrs.
Lghtfoot away, SO as to get taste
Of that salt, stood around at a safe
distance. They stood around and
threatened what they would do to
Prickly Porky If he didn't leave. They
threatened to stamp him to death.
Prickly Porky paid no more attention
to them than II they had been bushes

Porky can be said to hurry There
was eagerness In his expression.
Mrs. Lightfoot stamped. It was
An angry. threatening stamp. Prickly
Porky paid it not the slightest atten-
tion. Mrs. Lightfoot stamped again.
1t was unheeded. Mrs. Lightfoot
stepped between Prickly Porky and
the old stump and once more stamped.
This time Prickly Porky did take
notice. He didn't stop. He kept
right on, but as he did 30 he lifted

DR1CKLY PoRKY the porcup

pRICKLY PORKY the Porcupine
isn't much Of traveller, but once
in while he takes it into his head
to roam about Z bit. He was shuf-
fling along the road that passes the
old stump on and around which
Farmer Browns Boy had put salt for
the Deer folk, knowing how fond they
are OF it. Mrs. Lightfoot was feeding
around the old stump and occasionally
licking q lump Of salt. She first
heard and then saw Prickly coming
down the road. She stopped eating
She stopped licking the hump Of salt.
She stood perfectly still, watching
Prickly Porky.
II hope he will keep on about his
business and not come around here
poking his nose into mine," thought
Mrs. Lightfoot.
Prickly Porky shufhed along, pay
ing no attention to anything. At
least, he didn't appear to be paying
attention to anything. He was grunt-
ing and grumbling to himself. He
was almost past Mrs. Lightfoot and
the old stump, and Mrs. Lightfoot
was beginning to feel relieved. Then
Prickly Porky stopped. He lifted
his nose. For long minute he held
it high. A Merry Little Breeze was
tickling it with something that was
giving him = great deal of pleasure,
the pleasure OF anticipation. His dull
eyes frightened. If there Is any
thing in the world that Prickly Porky
will do almost anything for it Is salt,
and now he smelled salt.
He began to shufhe little faster.
This time 1t WAS not down the road,
but straight toward The Old etsamp,

For a moment Mrs. Lightfoot held
her ground. But it was only for a
moment. Then she leaped to one
side. Prickly Porky kept right ON
to that stump and climbed up on it.
Then he sighed. It was a long sigh
OF pure happiness. He had found
the salt.
Prickly Porky took possession OF
that stump and the ground immedi-
ately around it. Where there was
the least taste Of salt Prickly Porky
took possession. The instant any
one came near all those little spears

or trees. He would have laughed at
them only Prickly Porky never laughs.
He knew that their threats were
harmless and he knew that they knew
that they were harmless. They just
didn't dare touch him.
So when one or another would
venture near enough to try to get
a taste of salt the selfish one would
drive him away or her away, and
was real peevish about it. Selfish
people are, as a rule, unpleasant
people. Prickly Porky is selfish and

it did no good. Prickly Porky paid
no attention. He was busy gnaWing
at that old stump and chewing the

the salty favor. 1t was clear that
he would leave no salt for the others.
1t was doubtful If he would leave
