With Two Victories Sewed Up Shamrock May Win Silver Cup Before Night JACK VDioric STFF CORRESPONDENT I. N . SERVICE ABOARD V. t?. S. I'TlunEr; GULLKiiliuniH Ol-'i-' SVNI'Y HOOK, X. J. July CI. (, 13 y vir.Uss) That h:.t"i io bit of r thu America's -up which has tiorn so aliy dt'-:idd by American yachtsmen for Tf years, may pas to sir Thomas Lipu-n before sundown. With two victories p.ifly tuck'nl away i:i theinternational scries against the ilefeiuler. nc-svlute," the pr. it. crrcn I challenger. Shamrock IV. looked like a c nam winner as she prepared to enter the third race of the series today and those who hae consistently -backed Utsolute to defend the cup, had little or nothing to say. In order to turn th approaching tide of complete defeat aside Resolute Must win three straight races from her sturdy-masted and heaily sailed rival. And those who have seen Shamrock IV do some uncanny things n light aus do ' not believe this is possible. I With equally pood handling the chaiI longer can outfoot Resolute both in I reaching and running. Her preat ad- ! vantage in siil area was made very J evident in Tuesday's race and although she is supposed to be a heavy racing In at he showed ti remarkable advam1 age in the lipht breezes that previlled. 1 Today's weather forecast, indicating gentle, shifting winds, mostly from the I south, was as favorable to Shamrock as it was to the defender. Xeediess to say Skipper Wm. V. Burton and the crew that has been with him in every race so far were today assurred that no changes are to b made during the remainder of the series. Sir Thomas Upton and his close personal adviser? are convinced now that nothing can stop the green sloop on her pathway to victory. They all fee! sure that she can win one out of the thre more races and it will not surprise anyone should that victory come today, though Resolute may break the string. The course for today's race will be a windward-leeward course. 15 miles out and 13 on the homeward leg. The sloops probably will sail in a south easterly direction. I ne start, as usual, will be at 11 o'clock Eastern standard time. THEY SURE HAVE NERVE "We haven't got the best team In the world y'understand. but we're ready to take on all comers hereabouts." said Erwin Freese. manager-pitcher of The Times new ball team. With Free.se And Richter supplying the fireworks The Times men are confident they can whip most teams in Hammond and vicinity. The challenge holds for: Caseys. Gary Test , tam, postcfTlee team. Lion or Minas department store teams, or any other. OP TH& to 2A NATIONAL LEAGUE.

PREPARING E Great progress has teen mad in j preparing the road for the Eig;n au'o. mobile road race, which is to ta'ie place on the old course Aug. 14, instead of Aug. 21. as previously announced. The advance in the date is to accommodate the racing men. so they may have ample time to t:x up their mounts after the Elgin and not be delayed in getting to the Uniontown speedway for the labor day meet there. The east, north and west legs of the course are now in the pink of condition; in fact better than ary portion of the course li previous years. There is some work to be completed on the south leg, but that is better than at any lime heretofore As soon as the dragging of the south leg is completed 30.00H gillons of road oil will be spread over the surface of the eight mile course and then the drags will be kept going to smooth out every litOe wrinkle . At the same time every stone of any size will be raked off. Then a week prior to the race another lf. inn gallons of oil will bo spread on lightly to act as a dust layer. In the meantime the other work of preparing for the race is going on both by the Chicago Motor club and the Elgin Automobile Race association. Homer in Washington Will Round Off Ruth's Season There Is only one more thing needed to make Ruth's work complete for the season to get a home run in Washington. So far this year he has hit one or more in each city in the league except the home of th Senators. Naturally Babe firffls the Polo grounds most handy to manufacture his round trip drives, since he plays more games there than in any other park. His total for the New Tork field is 22. N.

BfV. FISHER BATTLES WILSON TO DRAW SYRACVSE, N. T.. July 21. Middle-weight Champion Johnny Wilson was lucky to get a draw in bis ten round mill with Young Fisher, the Syracuse cacman, here tonight. Fisher, with everything to gain and nothing to lose, tore into Wilson like a wildman in the early stages. Wilson, confused by the sudden attack, allowed himself to be rushed to the ropes repeatedly and took all sorts of swings and jabs. In the latter stages. Wilson learned to judge Fisher's rushes better and stood his ground, mixing it up with the challenger. He had the better of four rounds, two were even and the rest were FisherV It was one of the roughest fights fvr yeen here, Fisher throwing Wilson once and 'VWson twice hurlng Fisher to the mat in wrestling bouts. The World of Sport Tarnished with age. dust-filled from disuse, a silver cup worth $5ir when it was cast in 1851 rests in the vault of the New York Yacht Club. Yesterday the fifteenth race for its title was started, the second heat going to the challenger. Thomas Llpton. the Englishman . For the possession of that cup, hardly worth twice its original cost, close to six million dollars has been spent and for it the best skill and science of the marine building world have been expended for 63 years. 'America's Cup" emblematic of th supremacy of the seas, has been the coveted trophy of yachtmen since the Civil War. since the days when pack trails provided the only avenues into the great West and since the days before the transatlantic cables connected the two worlds. In all that time, against the challenges of the world, the cup has remained in America. In a pawnshop the cup wouldn't draw enough to rav one crew in a trial race but the ideals which it represents, the traditions of the sea, gives it a sentimental valu nd & place in national affection that makes it worth the fortunes spent in It and will justify the outlay of millions in the future for it3 defense. X X X Law-ton Witt. Dugan and Ed Rommell, members of tbe Philadelphia American league, team, denied they had signed contracts to play in the Bethlehem Steel league. Witt and Dugan said they had been offered terms, but had not accepted them, while Rommell said he had not talked w ith any one connected with the Steel league. Manager Mack said he knew nothing of this. TAGGING ALL THE BASES By JACK VEIOCK I. N. S. Sport Editor STAR FOR A PAY Zach Wheat.
