First at
Mackinac

CONTINUED from First Sport Page
Blackwood and the writer got a
bang out OF finishing ahead of the
two scratch boats of the feet, Iris
and White Cloud.
Everything ran to form In the
first few hours of the race as Iris
and White Cloud plowed out into
the lead. The wind was out of
the east and all the feet carried
their big genoa jibs. The yawl
Hostess II and Estrellita were
making hay with their Mizzen
stay sails. two hours after the
start the wind hauled southerly
and lightened and spinnakers pop
ped out. II was here that the
lead changed with Hostess III out
in front. The 52-foot yawl was act
ing like a ship on her way to win
the Mackinac race. Iris and White
Cloud, about three miles off shore
didn't seem to like the light going.
Apache was directly astern of
Shamrock about half a mile when
one OF the big breaks of the early
part of the race came as the wind
suddenly hauled into the west. Kit.
] tyhawk. Cleveland cutter which
won a year ago, had sailed at al
most direct angles TO the course
to get close to the shore. John
kTimken, her skipper, thus got the
shift first but no more than two
minutes ahead of Shamrock and
Apache and the three ships went
tearing along at a seven-knot clip
for more than 20 minutes before
the boats outside got the new
wind.
All except Hostess III which
picked the breeze in 10 minutes
and sailed far to leeward.
OUT IN FRONT
At shutdown il seemed tina,
Shamrock was out in front. She
was about mile ahead and close
in shore. Kittyhawk. still inside
was half mile TO the windwsrc
of Apache, Iris, White Cloud
Estrellita. Pintail and Rangoon al
were behind.
About 10 p. m. Iris had worked
up on even terms with Shamrock
off Sanilac, a mile ahead of Apache
when the wind suddenly swuns
into the north and we had il or

Kittyhawk crossed our bow or
the first tack coming out as W,
went into shore. x. She was abou'
a quarter mile ahead.
We saw EStrellita about an hour
later, mile behind.
About II p. m. Saturday as vel
as we could figure, Hostess II wa

Irish and Shamrock. White CLIQUE
had Apache by a half mile which
in turn was leading Kittyhawk
Pintail. Rangoon and Mink wer,
behind Estrellita.
We didn't see another ship dur
ing the rest Of the night. tn,
wind lightened and for nearl,
three hours Apache was withou
steerage way a mile off Harbol
Beach. At 4 a. m. Sunday W.

wind and started across Saginaw
Bay.
The wind was light until moor
Sunday as it settled into the west
and sheets were started and soor
spinnakers were out. The leaders
boiled along past Thunder Bay

MUCH HITTING

Walker Cooper and Johnny
Hopp starred with the hickory.
Each had five hits in seven official
trips TO the plate in both games,
and four of catcher Coopers blows
Travelled for extra bases.
Larry French. the refugee from
Chicago's Cubs. set Pittsburgh
down with only three hits to give
Brooklyn a 2 TO l win in the first
tilt, thus scoring his tenth straight
win. The Dodgers lost the night
cap; 10 4. with Kirby Higbe be-
ing credited with the loss.
But Johnny Rizzo was the real
culprit. He unleashed throw
from short right that sped all the
way to the dugout in the eighth
stanza, and permitted the tying
and winning markers to cascade
over the plate as Manager Lippy
Durocher screamed lamentations.
The New York Giants knocked
Lon Warneke out of the box in the
third inning TO win the getaway
contest from the Chicago Cubs by
a s TO 2 margin. The Cubs took
the second engagement. 8 10 3.

spectator angle-one of the finest

have been fine games to watch.
We always give the Yanks

beaten them seven out OF ~
games this season, counting
these two"
What was the explanation OF the
Tigers success against the Yanks
the success of fourth-plact
club against the American League
j leaders?
j Baker grinned and said:
That's easy. The Yanks don't
like good pitching. And we've
got about the best pitching In
the league. Fellows who can
really throw the ball--like Ben
ton, White, Newhouser, Trucks
and Trout. Maybe their records
aren't too impressive, because
they haven't had the right hit
ting and fielding to back them
up. But they can pitch"
LAST IN HITTING
Pilot Del emphasized that the
latest official club averages put his
Tigers at the bottom of the league
in batting. with .249. and at the
bottom in fielding, with 1865.
Hank Greenberg and Pat Mullin,
two heavy hitters. are now in the
army. However, Greenberg played
only 19 games last season before
starting army training. and Mullin
only 81. Yet. the Tigers OF 194l
hit .263. or IS points better than
their current mark. Rudy York,
despite the brilliant improvement
of his fielding at first base. is
slumping at bat, and so are Barney
McCosky and Birdie Tebbetts,
Baker said.
There was nothing sensational
There was nothing sensa-
tional about our batting last

NEW YORK, July 13.-De
Bakers blue eyes snapped beneath
heavy brown brows, and his thir
lips frightened as he declared:
The Yanks-Huh. They're not
so much this season. IL we only
had last years hitting I'm
pretty sure we'd beat them out
for the pennant.
I'VE may anyway. with the
weakest hitting club In the

Baker, manager of the Tigers

though the grand Sunday double

be heard down in the dressini

Finest Of Fishing

Veteran fishermen have told
me that landing a great lake

landing the sailfish or the amber
jack for real sport.

the beauty of Glen Lake, de-
claring that Lake Louise is the
only other body of water in
North America approaching it

and when you have seen Glen
Lake in the early morning, with
thin mists drifting across its

Miami Hote.
Space Held
Adequate

DEFUTING various rumora
~ that all hotels in Miami
Beach had been taken over for
military purposes, and assuring
prospective summer visitors that
there will be ample space avail
able for them in the Miami
area. George L. Oliver, general
passenger agent of the Florida
East Coast Railway, has just
issued the following statement
as TO true conditions:
"Whiie Florida and it's rail-
roads are dedicated to full CO.
operation In the war program"
Oliver said. various exagger-
ated reports have been pub
llshed which tend 60 give the
impression that Miami and
Miami Beach will have no room
for visitors. This Is essentially
not the case.
although q number Of hotels
have been taken over here by
the government for an aviation
training and replacement CEN
ter, this will, by no means, utiI-
lie all existing accommodations
or even a large percentage of
them. Hotel rooms I'm Miami
Beach alone total 100000, not
to mention thousands more i'm
adjacent Miami.
AT present IL seems far
from possible that any shortage
of accommodations will develop
during the coming summer, and
even during next winter there
should still be ample space avail
able for persons desiring to visit
this area. The presence of this
military activity will m a X g
Miami and Miami Beach even
more colorful and llvelier than
usual this summer.
"Our streamIined, de luxe
coach Champion will operate
daily, rs In the past, I'm associa-
ton with the Pennsylvania
X. +. and P-and Atlantic
Coast Line railroads, and we
will also have regular Pullman
service for summer travel to
Florida. Visitors coming to
Florida may rest assured that
adequate hotel space Is still
available. Any stories to the
contrary are without founda-
tion."
