TRIBE BOLSTERED FOR COMING GAMES AT HOME; FANS PREPARE BIG WELCOME FOR TEAM

CLOSING YACHT - RACE DELAYED UNTIL MONDAY -A Stiff Breeze Over Course Forces Postponement of Windup Cup Event. CONTEST STANDS EVEN ABOARD I'. S. DESTROYER GOLDSBOROUGH. off Sandy Hook, X. J., July 24 (via wireless.)—The fifth and deciding contest of the international yachting series scheduled for today was postponed because of heavy weather. Both yachts. Resolute and Shamrock IV, were at the starting point when the official regatta committee hoisted the signal postponing the contest. The race will be sailed on Monday, it was stated. Due to the twenty-five-knot wind the two.ya'hts came to the starting point under small canvas. Resolute did not hoist an upper sail and hail no foresail set. Shamrock had two working topsails. Immediately after the postponement signal was hoisted a large eet of excursion vessels and private yachts of every description, which went to tne starting line in the hope of seeing the deriding: race of the series, started hack toward the harbor. WIND TOO MICH FOR FRAIL SLOOPS. The regatta committee decided the high wind would be too much for the frail racing craft, which had not stood the fifteen-knot breeze of yesterday any too well. Great disappointment was expressed by the spectators as the wind was Just wbat the old salts had been hoping for to make a real test for the two racers. However, each skipper notified the racing committee that he was willing that the contest be postponed. Friday morning the chances of the America's cup crossing the Atlantic in the safe keeping of Sir Thomas Lipton , looked considerably more than a possl’‘tdllty. A remarkable sailing day that at times changed from a midsummci breeze to a tropical squall, an<i a wonderful exhibition of handling the Resolute has cbauged all that. With two wins each. Shamrock and Resolute next will meet for the deciding match Monday, and a cursory view of the races to date’ makes it appear that the big trophy is still to grace the museum of the New York Yacht club. ACCIDENT TOOK ONE SI RE WIN. With even ordinary luck the Resolute should have settled the matter before this. An accident robbed her of victory in the first race and when, on the second occasion, the race was called ofT after two-thirds of the course had been covered, she had a lead of half an hour. On the third occasion they met Shamrock won handsomely, but It was evident to those who saw the race that she was favored with many a substantial puff of wind that was denied her opponent. Resolute won the fifteen-mile windward and leeward event on Wednesday last on her time allowance. She has. therefore, virtually proved the victor in the first, second, fourth and fifth starts. Yesterday's performance was a triumph for Resolute and Shamrock was never in it. The outstanding feature in Resolute's success is the way she is handled by he: -kipper. Charles Francis Adams. He has outpointed William Burton, the Lipton captain, :n every point of the game. There have been times when the latter was made to look foolish. At the same time there Is a strong opinion here that something has been radically wyong with the handicapping. The Englishmen have stated that this is the last time they will come to American waters to race under the existing rules, and there are many on this side of the water who believe they are quite justified. Monday's race will be a fifteen-mile beat i • "Windward, and the same distance In Vin home before the wind. The boats ve met in this type of contest three i 11:0s already and on each occasion s.dutc has won hands down. Therefore, barring accidents, some- : i:ig always to be reckoned with in a •lit r i*e. iho 'American should cross o line Monday without calling on her A allowance. ‘IKIES NOW i ANDS EVEN. Resolute, by winning yesterday's race, * the series on an even basis, each ;;• oht having won two races. Charles Nicholson, designer and bulldof the Shamrock, said today he was • t satisfied with the boat. ‘These races are all trial races for us,’’ ' e said. "We learn something about : ! e boat every day. We have found a - ost difference here, compared with conditions in English waters. "Wo never knew the winds were so • iriable. This is my first experience of vailing i:i these waters. Though we • minted very weil In yesterday's race and we beat Resolute in reaching, we raked Shamrock's mast a little and this, we think, helped a great deal In. our windward work.” Nicholson said he was not satisfied with the new bow which was built on f!ie Shamrock after being sent over from EnglandThe designer was frank to admit that taking in the club top sail and setng a working topsail when a squall was seen approaching during yester•biy's race. Shamrock was gambling on the Resolute’s top hammer giving way before she could finish. Nicholson blamed a wind pocket liich was encounteded shortly after the -fart for Shamrock's defeat yesterday.

HOOSIERS SET FOR RACE DOWN HOME STRETCH With Pitcher Gaw in Fold and Young Infielder Signed, Indians Feel Secure. WIN SENATOR OPENER Vice President Smith returned to the city today with the news that he had %igned Pitcher Harold Gaw of the Chicago Cubs and had ordered the hurler to report to the Indians at Columbus at once. The Tribe official also announced that he had signed a crack Chicago semi-pro, Herman Brand, an inflelder, for a tryout, and the youngster would join the lloosiers here Monday. V Brand comes to the Indians highly recommended by baseball experts arounu Chicago and Smith believes that there may be something to the youth. Semi-pro baseball in the Windy City circles Is of high class order and major league scouts often look the teams over In the search of young talent. Brand comes to the Indians through a tip given Vice President Smith and Manager Hendricks by a Chicago friend of the Indianapolis club and he will be given a thorough trial while the Indians aoe at home during the coming stay opening Tuesday. Pitcher Gaw was so anxious to remain In the major leagues that it took consid erable persuasion by Vice President Smith to get his name to an Indianapolis contract, but after Gaw had signed he let it be known that he would endeavor to establish a record with the Hoosiers that would win him another trial in the big show. • jaw formerly was a star with the Buffalo Internationals and no doubt will prove a winner In the A. A. Vice President Smith, as well as Manager Hendricks, are of the opinion that tbs team is ready now for a mad dash down the 1920 home stretch and they both predict that If St. Paul takes any sort of a slump the Hoosiers will he Johnny-on-the-spot to make a heroic bid for the flag position. SLUGFEST GOES TO TRIBESMEN COLUMBUS, 0.. July 24.—After coming out on top, 11 to 8, in a slugging match yesterday, the Indians were In merry mood today and feeling fit to knock the Senators for another goal. Clint Rogge stayed on the mound the full distance yesterday despite the fierce bombardment and he managed to ease through another winner by the help of his mates, who proved that when It comes to slugging they are there with plenty of ammunition. Twenty-six hits were registered by the two teams, and the fan that likes hitting certainly got his fill. Joe Tinker, who managed the Senators in the absence of Bill Clymer, used four pitchers only to see the Indians grab off the honors with pie use of but one hurler. It was a narrow escape for Rogge at that, because the bases were loaded in the ninth when the Indians finally got the side out. At one time in the battle the Senators had a five-rtm lead, but when the Hoosiers got started they made that fiverun total look weak. Zwilling and Jimmy Smith pounded the ball to all corners, leading the Tribe batsmen for the afternoon. Zwilling got a homer among his collection of hingles. Sherwood Magee was the chief Senator swatter for the day, the veteran getting four safeties.
