America's cup against Sir Thomas I Lipton’s Shamrock Fifth, in the j latest, and perhaps the last attempt of a Britisher to fake "n'ome the mug that originally cost SSOO and which has since cost sportsman] uncountable millions. Th? defender was chosen last night by the selection committee of the New York Yacht club, after] only two real races off Newport had < b en held. But the two races and a brief run off Brenton Reef yes-\ terday told the committee all it , wanted tor know. Enterprise is the fastest ship in moderate weather, she is sturdy in a blow, and she is beautifully built to catch light breezes. Enterprise is owned by the Vaniderbilts and skippered by one of j them, Herold S. Vanderbilt, once called the richest bachelor in the United States. He is a good skipper, too, a jovial, round-faced man who knows tides, winds, and sails. The committee's announcement came as. a distinct surprise to most of the amateur sailors who had kept one high on boats and the other on the. high hats sipping tea on the committee boat, it was believed they would wait for a tenI knot breeze, at least to give WestI amoe one more chance to live up Ito the predictions that had been | made for her. o Quits Channel Swim Dover, Eng., Aug. 28. — (U.R) — Miss Elsie West abandoned an attempt to swim the English chanI nel from Gris Nez, France, leaving the water after 12 hours effort in which she made poor progress. At 4 a. m. the young Englishwoman was reported only four 1 miles from Cape Gris Nez, where she had entered the water at 10:35 p. m. yesterday. Heavy mists added to the difficult.es of the swim. Miss West I had been expected to near the . ■ English coast about 8 o'clock to--1 day, but at that hour the mist cov- ! ered the 'channel from coast to coast

The Rotary and I.ions I teams will meet In the first game , and tlie Moose and Legion teams will furnish the nightcap. U.S. TRACK MEN MAKE RECORDS I ■ Chicago, Aug. 28.— (U.R) —The , United States' record of success In International trtick ams field competition remained unbroken today as athletic historians recorded results of the fourth British EmpireUnited Stat s team meet, staged. , at Soldiers field last night before] . 10,000 persons, a record attendance. Eight new records, Including , two all-t'me American standards, were written into the history, but although the British Empire team .| established three of the records,! I the flnakcheck showed the United | States on the long end of a 9 to 1 15 score, for the third consecutive I triumph in the international competition which was inaugurated in ] 1920. Late in the meet, with only two events to be contested, the British team itad hops of duplicating the tie gained in th? opening meet of the setles but two upset triumphs by the American athletes gave the| United Stat.s the points needed’ for a victory. Edwin G< nung, a capable little! middle distance runner from Washington A. C., Seattle, clinched the' American victory when he overcame a two-yard handicap to beat, Tom Hampson, the British Empire’s! greatest quarter miler by 50 yards j in the final 440-yard leg of the one-1 mile medley relay. Reginald Eiwen,* University of J Pitt star, had gained a slight ad- 1 vantage ov-r Alex Wilson of Canada in the opening leg of 88(J yards 1 but lost 10 yards on a poor pass of i the baton and although Eddie Tol-i an, Michigan, and George Simpson, I Ohio State, gained ground in their 220-yard legs against S. E. Engle-1 ha t, England and John Fitzpat-' | rick. Canada, the American team was still two ya: ds to the bad when Genung got the baton. An unexpected victory in the javelin, final event of the "little Olympics" program increased the American total to 9 points. The United States’ prospects in this ev nt were endangered when James Demers. Los Angeles A. C. threw , out his arm on his first toss and , j was forced to drop out of competition. However, Demers' lone I throw of 198 feet 4*4 inches gave him third place and enabled the < i United States to win on the basis ! ol total distance for three com- 1 petitors, although Stanlay of New ' Zealand topped the six competitors with a heave of 206 feet 1014 1 inches. Six of the American points were scored in the field events. The in- ‘ vading team, representing the com- ' b ned forces of England. Canada, ! Ireland, Scotland, Australia and other nations of the far flung Brit- i ish Empire, forced the United States to set new records to win the shot put, the high jump and the hammer throw, but was unable to win a single field event. George Simpson and Eddie Tolan, Big Ten sprint stars, cooperated to send the American colors to the top of the flagpole after the first event and for the balance of the meet tlje British Empire fought a courag ous but unsuccessful uphill battle. I i-'igh Miller, Canada, and W. B. Legg, South Africa, held Russell Sweet, Olympic club, and Cy Leland, Texas Christian university, even in th? first two legs of the 440-yard relay but when Simpson and Tolan took the baton the British were left fai; in the rear. Simpson gained a three-yard lead over E. L. Page of England and Tolan added four yards in the anchor run against John Fitzpatrick of Canada. The winning time of :37 5-10 cut 3-10 seconds from the establish°d record for the event. Steve Anderson, Washington university hurdler, gave the United States’ its second track victory when he outfooted Britain's titled star, Lord David Burghley in the final lap. of the 480-yard shuttle I hurdle relay. Lee Sentman, Ulin-1 os, J. E. Hatfield, Indiana and I Charles Kaster, Olympic club, gave'

I Anderson a one-yard lead and he Increased the gap by 5 yards to win 4n the record time of 59 5-10 . seconds. Brest Britain set new m ot records by winning the two mile relay; the four-niUe relay and the • thiee-mjle team race. It. H. Thomas of the British Royal air force ran a great anchor lap to d .’eat] I Ray Conger. American champion.' n the 4-mile relay, and finished j only one second behind the world ] record for the event. Phil Edwards, former New York university track captain, clinch, d the British victory in the two-mile relay by taking a 15-yard lead in th" third lap of the race, and the three-mile team race was a com plete triumph for the Invadf rs with only one American finishing among the first seven. Lord David Burghley avenged his hurdles defeat by turning back a great challenge by Morgan Taylor, American anchor man, to win the steeplechare. Britain's victory in the mile relay an opportunity for a claim of foul, but the American team refused to p ot st and the point was (awarded to the Empire. K. C. Brangwln. of England, the first runner dropped the baton half way around the track and ths British iteam completed the race without j the stick, winning by ten yards. o FEDERAL LOAN , UNAVAILABLE FOR INDIANA — (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE* government salary is SII,OOO.
