Sept. 17.—Harold S. Vanderbilt, born with a ™ silver spoon in his mouth, and T. O. M. Sopwith, who plucked his riches from the heavens, set a precedent in America’s cup yachting Saturday—they are the first owner-skip-pers to meet in the series. Only once before—in 1920—had amateurs been in command, Charles t rancis Adams for the defense with Resolute and \\ illiam Burton for the offense with Shamrock IV. Neither of these men, however, had any financial interest in the yachts. Vanderbilt, 50 years old, born into America's 400, and Sopwith, 40 years old, who hog-tied the airplane industry of the British empire, have several other things in common, although thev give first impressions which are opposite. mmm m m m COME say Vanderbilt is brusk, others that he is shy. Certainly, he appears uneasy in the presence of strangers, wary and uncommunicative with interviewers. Sopwith is a frank man, who meets any one with an appraising eje, willing to talk freely if he sees the stranger warrants it. He pops out answers to questions on the instant, concisely, with flashes of sly wit. | Both men are tall, Vanderbilt with an inch on Sopwith; at 6 feet 2 inches. Each is of a scientific turn of mind, Sopwith especially, as he has >een responsible for much advancement in airplane design. Each goes over plans for their cutters with the designers, able and insistent on discussing fully anv controversial ideas. The two cup contenders, Sopwith s Endeavour and Vanderbilt’s Rainbow, are almost duplicates in many respects. mmm u n u w-jOTH men smoke pipes; each has an outdoor sport which he favors Jfcs stronglv—Sopwith, big game fishing; Vanderbilt, tennis. Vanderbilt, Mike to his intimates, is one of the country s best bridge players. Sopwith does not care particularly for cards. Getting down to yachting. Sopwith and Venderbilt have sailed all their fives, although Vanderbilt has had much more experience in big The American scored a grand slam in sailing this year when he took the Astor cup for sloops and the king's cup with Rainbow. These are the two highest trophies in American yachting. As Vanderbilt achieved a similar feat twice with his schooner Vagrant, has won more Astor and king's cups than any man and is the only skipper to sail three boats to victory in either of these events, he seems entitled to the honor of being named America's outstanding yachtsman. mmm a * * _ is the nominal defending champion of the America s V cup. although strictly it is the New York Yacht Club which defends. Ne sailed Enterprise to easy victory over Shamrock V in the last series, in '3O. taking four straight. He is the first amateur to sail a cup defender Sopwith has raced big cutters since 1931, when he bought Sir Tom Lioton’s Shamrock V, altered her somewhat and sailed her with fair results He conceived the idea of building a cup challenger last season, almost immediately after the mast of Shamrock went overboard. Charles Nicholson the designer, witnessed the accident from a cliff nearby. “Nicholson never thought he would get an order out of that mess, Sopwith laughingly explains.

With most leagues going through the second rounds of their schedules. a decided improvement in scores appeared during the past week. Cooks Goldblume. the veteran outfit composed of Johnny Fehr, Lee Carmin. Larry Fox. Ed Striebeck and Jess Pritchett Sr., again led the team scoring when they posted counts of 1.057 for a single game and 3.056 for three-game high. These scores came in the weekly session of the Indianapolis League. Dad Hanna put on a one-man show among the individual shooters, when he went on a striking orgj with the Berghoff Beers in the Washington League. Friday night. Hanna s 266 single game was highest on the score sheets during the p,-esk, and enabled him to top all three-game totals with a 694.

Pritchett’s high of the previous week. A 4-7-10 split popped up on Dad and denied him the honor of being the first “700 shooter” of the present season. Ray Herbig, who is rolling in his second season of league competition looked like a veteran of many campaigns when he spilled the maples for a total of 672 in the SwitzerCummins League at the Delaware alleys. In most of the “major” leagues, floor averages were several pins higher than in the opening weqk, the Indianapolis, Washington, Uptown and Universal showing decided gains while the Fountain Square Recreation, who turned in the best week's average, remained stationary. This week will find several other leagues taking the alleys for their j opening paces, and when Saturday rolls around, practically all organizations will be in action. Tonight finds the Kiwanis Club renewing their schedule at the Indiana, the i Courthouse opening at the Delaware and the Petroleum League starting at the Illinois. During the St. Philip No. 2 series j the past week the Rosner Drugs j took the entire set from the Kaltenbach Insurance, M. C. Mesealls downed the Lvons Pharmacy three straights, while Berghoff Beers and Print Kraft each took a pair from Sterling Beers and Pittman-Rice Coal. Schofield Hardwares were triple winenrs over Berghoff Beers, and Coca-Cola won the rubber from Kirby-Dinns in the St. Philips Ladies' Handicap League.

CARDS BOUNCE BACK INTO FLAG PICTURE

Rainbow Gets Early Edge in Yacht Classic Sailors Are Disappointed by •No Contest’ Showing in First Race. BY SIDNEY B. WHIPPLE United Press Staff Correspondent ABOARD S. S. ARGO (Via Mackay Radio), Sept. 17. —With a stiff southeasterly breeze kicking up a frothy sea, weather conditions appeared nearly ideal this morning as Harold S. Vanderbilt took his American defender. Rainbow, out again to meet the challenge of T. O. M. Sopwith’s Endeavour. Today’s weather has been sought for as a real test of the sailing qualities of the two yachts, and brought delight to the hearts of yachtsmen. The huge spectator fleet was experiencing difficulty as it headed into the choppy seas, moving out toward the starting point off Brenton’s reef lightship. Endeavour was over about two seconds ahead of Rainbow but the latter was on weather berth. Both were on starboard tacks. At 12:04 p. m. Rainbow tacked to port and Endeavour followed. Defender Establishes Lead At 12:15 p. m. Endeavour, pointing higher, was working up to weather and more than holding her own. Rainbow established positive lead over Endeavour at 12:40 p. m. when she crossed the challenger's bow. The yachts had held on port tack until the defender came about on the short hitch allowed by Endeavour. They remained on starboard tack only a few minutes, then returned to the port, but the maneuver furnished first proof that the American boat was ahead. The breeze moderated considerably but the sea continued unruly. Endeavour was noticeably stiffer than Rainbow. Her long bow made bad work of it, alternately diving into the seas and then lifting far out. The sailors were sick of the doldrums, disgusted with Saturday’s drifting match. A row-boat, a mudscow, or a greasy mackerel fisherman with a bumed-out motor could have gone around the course Saturday as quickly as did the $2,000,000 piles of white canvas and shining steel. Tops Lipton Boats Saturday’s match, declared “no contest’’ because neither boat finished the thirty miles with the five and one-half-hour time limit allowed by the rules, proved nothing more than that the races will not be a Roman holiday for Vanderbilt. Endeavour is so much better than any of Sir Thomas Lipton's Shamrocks that there is no comparison. Today’s race, like Saturday’s, will be a thirty-mile match, fifteen miles to windward and fifteen miles back, running down the wind. Since Saturday's match was declared no contest, today’s race counts on the official logs as number one in the series. State CCC Crown Goes to Winslow R. McCurdy Holds Henryville to Three Hits. In a well-played game, Cos. 541 of Winslow, defeated Cos. 513 of Henryville, 6 to 1, at Ft. Benjamin Harrison yesterday and annexed the CCC baseball championship of the state. Brigadier-General William K. Naylor was present and greeted and praised the teams. R. McCurdy held Henryville to three hits. The winning Winslow nine collected ten against Edwards. The Henryville squad was made up largely of Indianapolis boys. Stars of the title game were McCurdy. winning moundsman; Collier who made all three Henryville hits; and outfielder Belser of Winslow who accepted seven chances, all difficult. Score: Cos. 541 200 011 110— 6 10 2 I Cos. 513 000 000 001— 1 3 4 R. McCurdy and Purcell; Edwards and j Beasley. Post High Scores in National Shoot By Times Special BRIDGEPORT. Conn.. Sept. 17.

ALOFT, IN FAIR WEATHER OR FOUL

Man, a were mite defying the forces of nature for the sake of sport, dangles like a marionette, from the rigging of Endeavour to inspect the blocks and gear over which the halyards controlling sails must run. A vertiginous task at best, the crews of the America’s cup rivals must be ready to go aloft in fair weather or foul. The spreaders, stays and halyards form the maze around the mast.

Abe Thinks Kangaroo Kick Will Eliminate Rascher Coleman Set to Give Determined Hoosier Grappler Plenty of Trouble at Armory Here Tomorrow. Although Abe Coleman, the Jewish heavyweight mat ace will be at a disadvantage both in weight and height, he figures his highly-touted “kangaroo kick” will make up for these shortcomings when he tackles Andy Rascher, the popular Hoosier youngster, in the top bout on the Hercules A. C. wrestling card tomorrow night at the Armory.

It will be the first time in months that Rascher has not been outweighed by an opponent. Rascher scales around 211 and is a “six footer.” The Jewish heavy is but 5 feet, 4 inches tall and weighs 205. Coleman claims the Jewish heavyweight championship. A victory over Coleman will mean considerable prestige for Rascher and the Cedar Lake (Ind.) grappler believes that he will have the upper hand in the struggle. Rascher’s great showing against Jim McMillen here a month ago convinced fans that he could match grips with the best of them. Two newcomers will see action on the supporting program tomorrow. Bill (Two-Fisted) Edwards of Dallas, Tex., makes his first local appearance. He meets Billy Burns of Denver. Another new face will be Jim League, of Birmingham, who tackles Pat Reilley; of Oakland, Cal. Showers Threaten Welter Title Mix Ross-McLarnin Tiff May Be Delayed Again.

Babe Concedes

Ruth Says Tigers Have Flag Cinched in A. L. Chase.

By United Press DETROIT, Sept. 17.—Babe Ruth today conceded the American League pennant to the Detroit Tigers. “I guess the Tigers are in. Nothing but a miracle can stop them now,” the Babe said. “Those Tigers are 5% games in front and we have only twelve games left to play. It’s just about an impossibility for us to overtake the Tigers. “Their chances against the Giants is something else,” the Babe said. “The Giants all are experienced boys and they’be been in a world series before. The series will be just another cluster of ball games to them. “The Tigers will be pressing. They’ll be trying too hard.” Little Is Third to Sweep Top Crowns By Times Special BROOKLINE Mass., Sept. 17. With long, powerful, accurate strokes, William Lawson Little, 24-year-old British amateur champ, downed David Goldman, courageous young Texan, 8 and 7, in the final match of the United States amateur golf tournament here Saturday. The husky Standford graduate of San Francisco becomes the third linksman in history to sweep both major amateur titles in the same year, following Harold H. Hilton and Robert Tyre Jones. Goldman fought back doggedly, holding the champ even in the first eight holes, but thereafter was buried under a shower of sensational birdies made by Little.

Galloping Frischmen Slice Two Full Games Off Giants’ Margin in Twin Bill Sweep St. Louis Crew Trails New Yorkers Three and One-Half Tilts With Similar Schedules Ahead; Deans Figure Again; Tigers Pull Away From Yanks. By United Press NEW YORK, Sept. 17.—The National League pennant race has crystallized into a knockdown-dragout fight between the faltering Giants and fast-stepping Cardinals. St. Louis lopped two full games off New York’s lead yesterday by walloping the Giants twice. This left Bill Terry's champions only three and a half games ahead.

Neither clubs appears to have any decided advantage in the schedule during the next thirteen days. The Giants play thirteen games with Cincinnati, Boston, Philadelphia and Brooklyn, while the Cards have fourteen with Boston, Cincinnati and Pittsburgh. The largest crowd in Polo Grounds history, 62.537 fans, saw the Cards take both ends of a double-header that wound up the St. Louis-New York series yesterday. Frankie Frisch’s men took the opener, 5-3, and the nightcap, 3-1, after an eleven-inning mound duel between Paul Dean and Carl Hubbel. Martin Clinches Fray Dizzy Dean and Tex Carleton pitched against four Giant flingers in the opener and allowed seven hits, including homers by Mancuso and Ott. St. Louis made nine hits, clicking off four runs in the seventh and another in the ninth. In the second game, Pepper Martin’s homer in the eleventh broke a 1-1 deadlock. Medwick’s single drove in another Cardinal tally. Brooklyn trounced the Cubs twice, 11-6 and 5-4. The Dodgers outhit the Cubs 19 to 14 in the opener, but in the nightcap Chicago garnered fourteen safeties to the Dodgers’ eleven. However, Brooklyn bunched some of its hits for three runs in the second and two in the sixth. A1 Lopez led the attack with five hits in five tries. Cincinnati rose up and took both ends of a twin bill from Boston, 2-1 and 5-2. Paul Derringer limited the Braves to four hits in the opener, and in the second contest Wally Berger fell while chasing a fly in the eighth with the score deadlocked and the bases loaded. Three runs came in. Pittsburgh at Philadelphia was washed out. Bengals Win on Three Hits Detroit stretched its American League lead to five and a half games over the Yankees, virtually eliminating New York from the pennant chase. The Tigers beat Washington, 2-1, while the Yanks bowed to Cleveland, 5-2. Detroit’s winning tally over Washington came in the eighth when “Flea” Clifton’s daring base running resulted in a run. Monte Weaver held the Tigers to three hits, while Bridges yielded six. Mel Harder of the Indians held the Yanks to five safeties, while four New York hurlers were found for ten. Cleveland bunched six hits in the fifth and seventh for all five tallies. Chisox Annex Two Chicago’s White Sox downed Boston’s Red Sox, 2 to 1, in the opener behind George Earnshaw’s two-hit pitching, and in the nightcap, the Chisox won 12 to 10, after finding five Hub hurlers for seventeen hits and despite Bill Werber’s two homers. Connie Mack’s Athletics downed the Browns, 2 to 1, in the opener aided by Cain’s five-hit pitching and McNair’s eighth-inning single accounting for the winning run. The A’s won the nightcap, 2-0, although Coffman and Andrews allowed them but three hits. Two of these and two errors in the sixth resulted in two tallies. Southern Nines Mix in League Playoff By United Press ATLANTA, Sept. 17.—Nashville and New Orleans, contenders for the Southern League championship, headed toward the Tennessee capital today to open a five-game playoff series for the flag. The series will open tomorrow in Nashville, whose Volunteers won the first half championship.
