Race (Paris Times Radio) BOSTON, Wednesday.—Repeating her victory of the day before, the schooner Columbia, pride of the Gloucester fishing fleet, defeated the Henry Ford yesterday over the forty-mile International Fishermen’s Race course. A spanking breeze on the last leg of the race sent the Columbia across the finish line a little less than five minutes ahead of Clayton Morrissey’s craft. The winner was piloted by Captain Ben Pine, a famous figure of the New England coast and the Newfoundland fishing banks, who is $3,000 richer for having gained the double victory. He covered the course in 3 h. 34 m. 18 s. Morrissey’s time was 3 h. 39 m. 8 s. With the Columbia as the American winner, it is likely that she will be selected to meet the Halifax schooner, the fastest schooner in the Nova Scotia fleet. The latter craft has never sailed yet in international contests. The United States were the first nation to host this kind of event, in 1920, when the Gloucester vessel Esperanto captured first honors. In 1923 the cup was not awarded because of a disagreement over the resailing of the contest. Captain Angus Walters, of the Canadian schooner Bluenose, left the course and went home rather than sail a race a second time. Since that time, negotiations have been active in an attempt to revive the event. The American races were thrown open to all comers this year, in the hope that the Nova Scotian schooners would compete. WRESTLERS MEET AGAIN Light Heavyweights Arrange Return Match for Championship. MELBOURNE, Wednesday.—Followers of wrestling in this country are looking forward with interest to the return engagement of Sam Clapham, the English light heavyweight champion from Yorkshire, and Ted Thye, the American champion and former holder of the world’s wrestling title at his weight. Clapham recently defeated Thye there in a championship match. Clapham has been guaranteed £1,250 for a return match against Thye on Saturday night. Wrestling Revival in England.

LONDON, Wednesday.—A wrestling match between Willie Riley, of Wigan, and Hambly, the Egyptian, has been arranged to take place at the National Sporting Club at the end of this month. This revival of wrestling will be followed by an invitation “catch-as-catch-can” amateur competition, and a similar amateur jiu-jitsu competition. MANY CITIES EAGER TO WATCH SUZANNE LONDON, Wednesday.—François Sybille, of Belgium, received a cut over the eye in his bout at the London Ring with Frank Harvey, the English featherweight. The wound hampered the Belgian fighter to such an extent that the bout was stopped by the referee in the seventh round. Sybille clearly outscored his opponent until the accident occurred. His two recent drawn matches with Johnny Cuthbert indicate that he could easily have defeated Harvey. FOR SALE BEAUTIFUL APARTMENT for sale, one minute from avenue du Bois-de-Boulogne.

He says that he has received offers from all the large cities in the Middle West, South, and Pacific Coast sections of the United States, asking to be included on the schedule that is being prepared. At present no definitive route has been settled upon except for the opening matches in the East.

Maclagan, formerly one of the most famous Scottish Rugby international three-quarters, died in London on Sunday in his sixty-sixth year. He had been for many years associated with the Stock Exchange. Maclagan was one of the founders of the London Scottish Football Club. He played seventy-five times for Scotland, and was particularly famous for his tackling. His first international match was against England at the Oval in 1878, and his last against England at Raeburn Place in 1890. He often played for Middlesex.

AMERICAN SOCCER TEAM IN ENGLAND LONDON, Wednesday. — Sixteen amateur Association football players from Worcester County, Massachusetts, have arrived in England to prepare for four games with English teams in Worcestershire beginning tomorrow at Stourbridge. The American team has been selected from teams in the industrial league in Massachusetts, where soccer has become an important part of the athletic programme. The object of the trip is to promote good feeling between American and British working men and it is backed by the Worcester, Mass., County Sportsmanship Brotherhood. The last engagement of the tour is set for October 23. Lord Cobham is President of the British committee that is organizing the programme.

Fifty years ago some of the Massachusetts men came to Worcester, England, and asked the Dean and Chapter for a stone from the Cathedral to be placed in an American cathedral. In 1908 the English Worcester sent to their American sister two suits of armor—relics of the Cromwellian Wars. They were taken over by Colonel Webb, one of Worcester’s most enlightened citizens, and since then there has been a continuous exchange of tokens and guests. In 1918 another piece of masonry was sent from the English to the American Worcester, and in 1921 a number of citizens from Massachusetts brought to England a bronze tablet illustrating the activities of their city.

Miss Joyce Wethered is the only prominent English player who has not entered. A number of French stars are competing, including Mlle. Thion de La Chaume and the Misses Esmond. Several women from Scotland and one from Australia make up the list of 430 contestants. Among the results yesterday were: Mlle. Simone de La Chaume and Miss Sybil Esmond beat Mrs. Cross and Miss L.

Southern California Football Team Is Feared on the Pacific Coast Jones Has Developed Strong Eleven From Great Quantity of Material SAN FRANCISCO—For the first time since the advent of the University of Southern California into the ranks of Pacific Coast Conference football circles in 1921, the Trojans are being ranked at the top in speculations as to the winner of the annual gridiron championship. Up and down the coast the word is being passed that “Southern California is the team to beat.” It is true that in view of candidates for the 1926 squads, the Southern Californians have an advantage over other Coast aggregations. No other university can point to twenty-one returning letter-men to form the nucleus of its outfit. Thirteen men have played together since Freshmen. On top of this are twelve men who worked under Coach Jones last season without making letters and twenty-four number one men from the 1925 Freshman team. The Trojans are faced with a schedule that will tax their ability

On top of this are twelve men who worked under Coach Jones last season without making letters and twenty-four number one men from the 1925 Freshman team. The Trojans are faced with a schedule that will tax their ability to the utmost. The two greatest rivals of the team are encountered on successive Saturdays, California on October 23 and Stanford on October 30. Unless Southern California can go through these games unscathed, it has little hope of taking the Pacific Coast Conference title. Even should the Los Angeles university men be successful in all the regional games on the coast, Notre Dame may put a big dent in the record when the two meet late in the Fall. The Trojan team has been successful in defeating both Whittier and Santa Clara in the first two games, rolling up an impressive 42-0 victory in the last game. On Saturday they will play Occidental at Los Angeles; it should prove another victory for them. Coach Jones has developed a backfield that lacks nothing in the way of line plunging ability or speed. The interference seemed unpolished in the first two games, but it has improved in the past two weeks. AUTO RACING DRIVER KILLED ON PARIS TRACK Breton, the French automobile racer, was instantly killed yesterday on the Paris motor track at Linas-Montlhéry, when his machine, travelling at 230 kilometers an hour, overturned and crashed into the board wall.

The car also killed Dr. PELTZER FAILS German Runner Misses World Mark for Kilometer. VIENNA, Wednesday.—Dr. Peltzer, the German runner who recently established the world’s records for the half-mile and the 1,500 meters, failed here in an attempt to break the new world mark for the kilometer run set last week by Martin, the Frenchman. The major reason for his failure, according to those present, was the poor condition of the track. Peltzer’s time was 2m. 32s., nearly 6s. slower than Martin. Women Jockeys At Newmarket LONDON, Tuesday.—Coming in race week and on the day after the Cesarewitch, the Newmarket Town Plate to-morrow will attract several runners than usual this year. However, Hogin, the winner last year, is certain to start and Miss Ellen Joel will again have the mount. Three other girl jockeys are entered for the race. Miss Iris Rickaby will ride G.
