RIVAL SPEED YACHTS BEING OVERHAULED FOR FRIDATS DASH IN INTERNATIONAL MATCH

YANK SAILORS SEE NEW HOPE IN CUP SERIES Victory Wednesday Causes Resolute’s Crew to Regain Racing Confidence. NEXT EVENT TOMORROW BT HEXRi' l AERFXIi, I’nittd Pres* Sport* Editor. NEW YORK, July 22.—New hope pervaded the American yachting camp today while the crew of Resolute was giving America’s cup defender a '‘rub-down” in preparation for the race tomorrow that win mean defeat or another chance for victory. Yesterday’s victory, which was in the i.ature of ,a penalty to Shamro<sk IV for her superior size, made the score two and one in the series and inspired the defender's backers with the belief that the chances of the Llpton craft are poor ’because of her great time allowance ia Kesolute's favor. Similar belief apparently prevails in tbe ranks or the British yachtsmen, whose dreams of taking the cup back to England in three straight races was shattered yesterday by the game little American, which sailed a dead heat with the big challenger in a boat-for-boat race. HAKES CHANGE TO DECREASE HANDICAP. In the hope of cutting down the big time allowance Capt. Burton has decided to remove the big topsail of tbe challenger. This will decrease the handicap to sis minutes and forty secowds from seven minutes and one second, according to K. D. Parsons, chairman of the race committee. The fourth heat of the race yesterday was historic in that for the tirst time fu the long history of the cup races two sloop* sailed a dead heat. The green challenger got away nineteen seconds : ahead of the defender and finished ahead by exactly the same margin. Experts pronounce tomorrow's race the crucial one of the series Sailed over the triangular course, in which the superiority of ihe Lipton sloop was shown Tuesday, % will give a slight 1 THE BLACg CAT ] NEW YORK, duly “.—This Is the story of the black cat. Among sailers a sombre feline Is a symbol of either good or bad luck, according to what happens while it is aboard ship. A black cat was on board the Resolute's tender Msntsik when Shamrock won- the first race; it was there when Shamrock won ihe second time. Wednesday morning the same dark pussy ’ not there. It was on the houseboat Killlarney. parent craft to Shamrock: and Resolute 'won. A tug boat, which celled at the Montank, and then at the KUlarney the night before the race, provided the solution. The black cat bad l>een gently assisted from the vicinity of Resolute and allowed to land on KUlarney without the formality of passing the Irish immigrating offieers. Resolute's crew today was wondering if tne cat would come back. advantage to tbe challenger, it wa* believed. If Resolute wins tomorrow it will bring about a of two races each and will bring the decisive heat up Saturday over j the windward and leeward course which the American craft has shown at an advantage. Cftpt. Burton sailed n much better race yesterday on Shamrock IV than he had In the preceeding heats. The superior generalship of Skipper Adams, generally conceded before, was not so obvious. But the work of the American crew wag much better than that of the Britishers. FINISH SIMILAR TO HORSE RACE. Veieran yachtsmen who followed th trim craft through the 4:03.6 of racing j time yesterday, thought back over many years of racing without being able to conjure np a picture that could compare with the spectacle. It was a real yacht race from the start and it provided a finish rivaling in closeness that of a neek-and-neck horse race. Resolute bad taken the lead early in her favorite flfteen-mile beat to windward. and rounding the stake with about a quarter of a mile lead, slipped swiftly ■ down the wind with spinnaker and , balloon Jib topsail billowing superbly. Bnt Shamrock IV with her greater spread of canvas, would not be defied snd slowly, but steadily ate up theintervening distance, until, with Httl* more tbaD ;■ mile to go. her bowsprit reached, then slowly began to creep past the defender’s stern. Inch by inc! . as the spectators watched breathleisly, Shamrock lA' moved up and np. A mile from the stake they were running and neek through the fluffy little wbitecaps turned up by the breeze. They appeared so (lose together from '■ the press boats that it seemed as if a man might have jumped from challenger t<> defender. Actually, the distance was , several boat lengths. Shmroek IV kept up the steady crawl ahead until, at the half-mile mark from the line, she was nearly a full boat length Ahead. Then Resolute caught a tiny extra puff of wind from somewhere, and straining like a thoroughbred under he whip, crept up slowly. She had got her bow shout even with Shamrocks towering mast when n puff of steam from the committee boat's whistle registered Shamrock’s finish. N The little fleet of spectator craft burst into a veritable bedlam of shrieking whistles and sirens as the contenders swept over the line and brought their spinnakers and ballooners fluttering down. Tbe summary of the race Wednesday follows: i Resolute— It. W. Emmons 1W 41 5:03:47 Yacht and Owner. Start. Finish. Shamrock IV—Sir Thomca J. Lipton 1:00:22 5.-03:28 Elapsed Corrected Yacht Time Time.

William P. Burton, skipper of Sir Thomas "Upton's challenger.- Shamrock IV, is taking no chances of the green sloop not being in shipshape for the next international cup race. After sailing on even term* against the Resolute yesterday and losing by tbe time allowance. Skipper Burton hoisted the signal for a day of grace and the big yacht was hauled out in dry dock at Staten Island today to be scraped and polished. The Shamrock's skipper evidently be- | liaves that under fair sailing* conditions *nch as prevailed Wednesday, the challenger has her work cut out to win the deriding race. While Shamrock was given a thorough overhauling today. Resolute was also subjected to a ''housecleanlng” and both will be spick and span for tomorrow's race. The contest tomorrow will be another triangular affair. Under certain conditions this sort of a race will favor Shamrock. The weather, however, will play a most important role in determining the winner. The weather man has a trump card In reserve—a card that may be played against either yacht. In a moderate sailing breeze, barring accidents. Resolute has proven herself a wonderful racer. In light breezes l>Ath yachts have behaved QUgerly. Should heavy weather prevail in one of the regaining races, it. will be interesting to bee how well Shamrock can Jive up to her reputation as a heavy sea boat.

Tbe marksmen were out on the range early this morning and were to shoot on through until late this evening in order to wipe the remaiulng events off their program.

Albert Black, with a score of 1,87, took the honors in the governor’s match, one of the biggest events of the state shoot. A report of the financial committee last night showed that the Indiana association is strong in that department. ___ Big League Stuff Jack Smith’s double in the twelfth, coupled with Eayer's wild throw, enabled Bill Doak to score from first and the Cards trimmed Boston yesterday. A double by Walters, followed by Hooper's triple and a sacrifice fly gave the Red Sox a victory over Chicago. The Giants climbed to fifth place, hammering the offering* of Ray Fisher of ihe Reds to all parts of the lot. Ping Bodie's throw cut off the tying run in the Yank-Indian game and New York fought down a ninth Binning rally and won by a nose. "Two-Gun” Collins went in with the bases jammed and fanned Chapman for the third out. Scott Perry held the Browns to five hits while the Athletics mauled Bayne and Sotheron.

TRIBESMEN ON WAY TO CLOSE ROAD JOURNEY Indians Leave West With 12 Victories and Position Well Bolstered. THREATEN THIRD PLACE Jack Hendricks’ Indians today were on the road to Columbus, after closing at Minneapolis yesterday with a 5 to 3 victory. The final win over the Millers gave the Hoosiers twelve out of seventeen games over the western clubs and they are now on the point of ousting Toledo out of third place. Charlie Whitehouse, former Miller, gave his old mates a neat trimming and further demonstrated that Manager Hendricks used big league judgment when he grabbed him for the Hoosier staff. The Millers used both Lowdermilk and Hovlik yesterday, but the Indians were not to be denied, and they hit over plenty of runs to win. Due to the fact that the Tribe pitching staff was overworked the Millers expected Whitehouse to be easy, but after the first inning he tightened and held the Cantillonites off while his mates chalked up the needed runs. In the series at Minneapolis the Indians captured three out of four games, and if they do as well at Columbus, starting tomorrow, they are flmost certain of returning homo next week In third place. Tbe Indianapolis drive has been the sensation of the league, and it is predicted that it won’t be long until the club is in second position. Tbe Saints are far out in front, bnt many games aH left, and if Kelly’s outfit happens to run into a slump then the Hoosiers will still have a chance at the pennant. But regardless of their pennant chances, Indianapolis fans are proud (Continued on Pago Seven.)
