former football captain at North

Finally he seemed to notice a

He looked up from his reading,
but it seemed to me not without
first glancing at the top of the

"Fifteen dollars!" he fairly
seethed as though abhorring the
interruption to his reading.
And fifteen dollars it was
cash! .,
Well, I thought I might as well
hang around and enjoy the pass

only one more case to be tried.

The Dodgers and Pirates went
on an old fashioned hitting ram

Pirate pitchers for IS hits of all

Pirates got II off three Dodger

eran player, himself, had some
thing to say about that.
At the end of the tenth game, it
was sail. At the end Of the
twelfth game, it was Gall. At the
end of the fourteenth game, it was
Tall. At the end of the sixteenth
game, Heacock had won the set,
81!
Takes Four Games
And then Dooly Mitchell took
off his Sweat-Shirt!
Dooly took the next four games,
allowed his opponent the fifth,
and then won the next two, to
make it 6I1.
In that final set, Mitchell'S SUI
periority was complete. His foe
man was the first to admit that.
Said Heacock, after the match:
after DoOly took off his
SweatShirt, it was just too
bad for me. His placements,
his passing shots, his serve and
his exaSperating drOp-ShOts tied
me into knots. Save in the
fifth game, when l was bit
lucky, was so completely out
played that l was rather aston
iShed. 1 cannot remember
when an opponent Outplayed
me so completely. Mitchell is
a mighty resourceful tennis
player, particularly when he
takes off his SweatShirt!"
Mitchell's victory sent him into
the quarterfinals along with four
other seeded players and one un
Sc ded competitor. The four
seeded stars are Hugh Lynch
Tony Latona, Frank Shore and
Lieut.. Bill Howard. The unseeded
player is Belisario Contreras, the

SOpwith Admits U.
S. Boat Speedier
BY LAYTON CARVER


NEWPORT, R. l., Aug. 5.-Bar-
ring the seemingly impossible, T.
o. M. Sopwith's challenge with
Endeavour II for the Americas
Cup will end today. leaving Har.
old S. Vanderbilt and Ranger as
rulers of the seas and recognized
as perhaps the greatest yachting
combination of all time.
This second bid by Sopwith and
the 18th since the homely old
trophy first was placed at stake
nearly a century ago, is almost
certain to be concluded in sweep
of four straight for Vanderbilt and
the snub-nosed defender by late
this afternoon.
Sopwith himself conceded de-
feat after he had lost yesterdays
race over 30-mile windWard, lee
ward course by four minutes and
~ seconds. He admitted Ranger
is the superior boat. He eXoner-
ated his crew of guilt in what
seemed to be clumsy sail-handling
on one occasion.
Sopwith, belated and with OBJ
vious detection agreed finally that
everybody else was right from the
start, and admitted he never had
a chance. He, in fact, signed his
own death warrant as far as
today's race is concerned-and
that means as far as the Amer
ica's Cup is concerned.
Encounter Close
He managed to make yester-
days encounter cloSe-that was
all, after having been beaten in
previous starts by two miles and
three miles, in that order; and
at that he didn't make it close
enough to cause any doubt as to
the outcome once the race was
well along. He lost by q half
mile.
With a brisk 12-knot breeze
giving the cutters their heaviest
weather since the series started,
Vanderbilt sailed Ranger over the
windward leg to a new record for
the distance in cup competition,
dIlu GuOSdNOU1 OAAAp1y NOA4O0
foot along at that pace.
Breaking his own standard Of
2:04:25 set with Rainbow in the
fifth race of the 1884 series, Van
derbilt Travelled the 15-mile beat
with Ranger yesterday in 2:03:55.
Endeavour was four secon ID S
slower.
Far From Record
With the wind dying on the run
home, Ranger did not approach
the record for the 30-mile course,
but nevertheless set a fast pace to
finish the days encounter in
3:54:30. Endeavour's time was
3:58:57.
Endeavour's performance was
her best since the series started.
Ranger got one tough break yes
terday when her spinnaker rigging
momentarily became entangled.
Roderick Stephens, of her after
guard, quickly was run aloft, and
as quickly eliminated the diff
Guilty.
Endeavour, too, suffered minor
mishap of similar nature and like
wise Immediately rectified it..
That made them even on that
count, but on all others it was all
Ranger.
Vanderbilt's comment was terse
as usual, with the coup de grace
he on the delivering end-about to
be applied today.
1T was bound to be a closer race
yesterday with more breeze" he
said, then trailed off into eulogy
