YACHTING TROPHY

Michicago Beaten in Final International Because Canadian Sailors Know More.

Another white hope was driven into seconds ahead of the American boat.

oblivion yesterday when the Illy white" Michicago, defender of American sail

ing honors on the great lakes, was decisively defeated by the dusky Patricia, black champion of Canadian boats. It was another Instance of what has been happening for the past few races.

The Michicago went out at the start

of the race and carved out a big lead

for herself, and increased It during

the second leg of the battle.

At the first home stake she was ap

proximately eight minutes in theTead, and it looked to be all over with the Canadian boat. But Gooderham went

after a slant of wind and found it, and turned an eight-minute loss into as large a gain. He came across the fin

ish line eight minutes and thirty-five

and as a result of this his third de

cisive win takes the International se

ries and the new trophy,

Roy Barcal was again e.t the stick of the Michicago, with Ogden T. McClung to assist him. The American boat got over the line with the start

ing gun, but the Patricia was to

weather and only two seconds behind

The Michicago almosrt immediately showed her class and went Into the lead before the two boats had traveled

half a mile of the first leg,

The contest was to windward and

leeward, four and a half miles to the

leg, sailed twice. The wind was out of the east and varied from a flat calm at times to about seven miles per hour.

CUBING CUBS SET FOR BATTLE

the Cubs set the mark at 116 victories

and 36 defeats. The feat of pitching ninety-eight in

nlngs without letting in a run, has won

for "Buster" Brown, the Sheboygan

pitcher, a chance to display his goods

with the Milwaukee team.

It Is not often that a star ball player is seized with such a case of rattles

as was Ivan Olson, the Cleveland short stop, recently, when he made seven er rors In a double-header.

It looks as if the Pittsburg team

got the worst of it when It traded

Leach and Lelfleld to Chicago for Cole and Hofnian. Leach and Lelfleld are playing great ball for the Cubs, while Cole has returned to his home nursing a sore arm, and Hofman has not reported to the Pirates on account of illness. . , WITH THE BOXERS."

Chance's Men Return For Crucial Series Here With Giants.

MEvers la minpended. That's all. We cant help It. Well beat the Giants without Evera. There was no talk of a strike." Manager Frank 1.. Chance-.

Chance's climbing Cubs reached Chicago at 9 o'clock last night, ready and eager for the cruciar series with the New York'Glants which starts today. P. L. Chance and his players hurried

to their homes to get a good night's rest before tackling the' slipping champions in the first conlct. Today, tomorrow and Saturday the battle will be wage4 at the west side park. Then the Giants . will return here next Wednesday to play oft the 4 to 4 tie of May 13. Manager , Chanoe wore an unusually broad smile, and It is evident that the suspension of Evers Is not worrying him greatly. The P. L. merely smiled when asked if there waa any truth in the strike story that was sent out from Boston, and remarked that he hoped to trim the Giants without the aid of the Trojan. The splendid record the Cubs made in the east has put the Cub boss in excellent humor, and the players also seem to be satisfied.

since he changed his sox from red to

once or twice was Clcotte in the hole

to the batsman .and in each of those

cases he grooved the necessary strikes

with ease, grace and precision, mak ing everybody hit or quit.

be sure you are on hand," and McCarey 'started away. Again there was the little Mexican lad tugging at his sleeve. "Well, now what do you want?" asked McCarey, turning to face the Mexican boy.' ' Wanted Car Fare. The latter hesitated a few moments and then blurted out that he did not have car fare to go out to the pavilion, and also that he would be able to fight a much better fight on the morrow if he should be able to eat a great square meal that evening . and do the same thing the following morning. McCa

rey "came across" and Jose Rivers, or "Joe" Rivers, as he Is now known to pugilistic fame, got his first chance in

the squared circle.

The next day he entered the ring in a borrowed pair of trunks, an old pair

of worn-out tennis shoes and a full stomach. He tore into Weber and in

the third round knocked him out. Recently at the same place a differ ent scene was enacted.

McCarey and a number of promot

ers and fight "fans" were standing in

little groups in the same cigar store

when there came the honk, honk! of a horn, and with a rush and roar of exhaust and grinding of brakes a five

thousand dollar automobile swung up in front of the little cigar stand. Out stepped a well dressed young man carrying a cane. Diamonds worth $2,000 sparkled from his fingers and cravat. He tossed a light dust coat into the rear seat of the automobile, and, flicking a particle of dust from his highly polished tan shoes, stepped forth

briskly into the cigar store. Later Art. II. There w&ian immediate cessation of all conversation. McCarey stepped up eagerly and shook hands with the newcomer. The latter was a Mexican boy, with bright eyes and a healthy skin. His shoulders were broad and powerful, and he carried, himself as a man of affairs. "Hello, Uncle Tom," said the boy. "Will you take a ride with me! I am going to the Alcade station and you had better come for & ride and see me off." , "Sure, Joe, I will come along," said McCarey, as he bustled out.

This was the samel llttte Mexican boy who met Wolgast on the Fourth

and who practically beat the cham

pion.

DO YOU REMEMBER

TOMSHARKEY? New York, Aug. 15. Tom Sharkey,

once a leading heavyweight pugilist with a record of standing fifteen

rounds before Jim Jeffries md giving the champion one of the hardest battles of his career, announced himself last night as a contender for the white

heavyweight championship of the world. Sharkey expects to gain this distinction after a long period of retirement by taking the measure of Tommy Burns, whose defeat by Jack Johnson gave the latter the world's title. Sharkey says he has been led to believe that Burns wants a return match with Johnson and expresses his own willingness to arrange a match with Burns, "under any fair conditions the latter may name." He expresses confidence that ir he takes, a course in strict training he can reenter the ring and defeat Burns.

Fred Walker, the former University of Chicago pitcher. He was in uniform today and worked out before the

game. Walker has been pitching great ball for local semi-pro teams, and seems to have a lot of stuff. Griffith tried him out in practice and liked his looks, but feared he was tangled up

his flight with Grahame-White at Cowes, he wires from his yacht, sle of Wight:

'Flying to me was most enjoyable, and am looking forward to my next flight with great pleasure. Looking at the aeroplane from the ground was no more terrifying to me than when I was actually flying. Although . I firmly believe that the day is coming when passengers will book from London to New York by aeroplane, for health's sake and exciting sport there is nothing in the world like yachting."

Los Angeles, Cal.. Aug. 16. Only three years ago a little, stocky, Mexican boy wearing a dirty, frayed gray sweater, walked into a cigar store in

this city. ( Inside stood "Unole Tom" McCarey, fight promoter,1 pulling his mustache. It was the day before a boxing contest at the old Naud Junction pavilion, and one . of the principals had railed to show up. Max Weber, a sturdy featherweight, was billed to appear in a twentyround contest and his. opponent had disappeared. "Where can I get a good boy to go on with Weber?" raved McCarey. The little, stocky Mexican lad tugged at McCarey'a sleeve and, pulling off his ragged cap, smiled Ingratiat

ingly.

"I will take him on, Senor McCarey." "Who in Sam Hill are you?" snap

ped McCarey, looking at the little, ragged figure.

"I am Jose Rivers, a very strong

boy and good fighter?" 'answered the Mexican lad.

"Will you box Weber tomorrow?"
