MISS DETROIT
WNS FIRST RACE
FOR GOLD CUP
Defeats Six Speedy Hy?
droplanes in Contest on
Alanhasset Bay. :
LITTLE JOKER III
SINKS; CREW RESCUED
Three Other Motor Boats Come
to Grief, While More Have
Troubles Before Start.
A ith a roar that resembled nothing
| so much as a battery of machine guns
in action -even high speed hydroplanes.
came tearing down through a lane of
anchored steam yachts and motor boats
in Manhasset Bay yesterday, each
throwing fountains of spray that al?
most shut them from view while thou
aands cheered them on.
It was the start of the big race for
the Gold Challenge (up, that all the
motor boat fans from this and other
states have been looking forward to
for months, and the State of Michigan,1
especially the city of Detroit, will re?
joice to-night to hear that their little;
syndicate boat, the Miss Detroit, is the
winner of the first of the three races j
scheduled.
Priven by Jack Millot, her pilot, the
?it was fourth to cross the
line at the stair. She was second at
the end of the first round ?af five miles,
and still second at the end of the sec?
ond lap. She took the lead on the thi ?1
lap, and held it to the finish, beating
Mrs. J. S, Blackton's Baby Speed
Demon II by the small margin of eigh?
teen seconds.
The winner's time for the thirty
miles is 42 minutes 41 seconds, and
her average speed for the distance is
4L'.17 knot -, or ?48.49 statute miles. Two
more races are required to determine
who shall capture the trophy.
The fastest time for one lap of five
miles was also made by Miss Detroit;
she covered the distance in fi minutes
67 seconds, which is at the average
speed of 4841 knots, or 49.4? statute
miles, an hour. The time for her other
laps was 7:35, 7:00, 7:00, 7:07 and,
7:02.
The usual chapter of accidents which
attends high speed motor boat races
was in evidence yesterday. The most
SeriOUl of them was the capsizing and
sinking of H. S. Ford'i Little ?'??ker III.
She .-auk off Plum Point while running
along the east side of the triangular
course. Luckily, she sank in only nine
feet of water." so that her pilot and
tu. chati.c?an wcie rescued without dif?
ficulty. The bout itself, it is said, is
not badly damaged and will be raised
at once, perhaps in time to take part in
Monday's race.
The Wee Peter Pan II. owner by
George E. Vigouroux, broke her oil
pump before the start, but she went in
and completed three laps. Then she
Stopped suddenly, and it was found
that all her bearings had burned out
The engine of the Tech. Jr.. owned by
T. Coleman du Pont, gave out on the
third round, and she quit, but started
again later to complete the course.
It was unfortunate tha* Count Casi?
mir Mankowski's boat, the Ankle Deep
Too. having burned out her bearings
during the morning, wa.? not able to
start in the race, for it was expected
that she would break all existing rec

CHAPPLE WINS AT BEACH
Beats Luther in Straight Heats
on Motorcycle.
Arthur Chappie, recognized motorcy?
cle champion at aii distances, defeated
Fred Luther, of Fort Worth, Tex., in
two straight heats of their special race
at the Brighton Beach Motordrom? i *
night. I.uther showed the schooling
derived from the late Fd?li<- Hssha and
was a worthy opponent for Chappie
In the first heat, at four miles, Chap?
pie decided not to be caught napping
and immediately went into the lead.
I.uther hung close behind until the last
mile, when Chappie speeded up his
motor to win by half a lap in 2:57.
The second brush, at three miles, found
Luther whirling around the track at s
killing pace, with Chappie a few yards
behind. A quarter of a lap from the
finish Chappie, ruling high on the
track, caught his Southern rival and
won by inches :n 2:09.
Engine tiouble, after travelling 12
miles and - l.ps. forced Chappie out of
the fifteen-mile handicap race At that
tune the champion wa? second, one
third of a mile behind George Mercier,
who was leading. George Hamilton
finished second, a quarter of a m;ie be?
hind Mercer, with Stefano Quaccinelli,
of Italy, third. Georg?? Sperl and San
Henderson were also starters. Chappie
conceded handicaps ranging up to al?
one mile. The winner's time of
11:17 recorded the rulers as racing
around the track at the rate of eighty
!?.> tni!e> an hour.
Mercier won his match race fron
Georgs Hamilton after the latter had
taken the r.r.-t of the three heat- in

More N. L. Flag Dope.
A bsll club, upon a general average, is supposed to resch
its true form by ihe first of July. Working on this basic
dope, the best clubs in the National League are Brooklyn
and Boston. They have played more consistent ball than
any other rival, with Pittsburgh and Philadelphia close
behind.
While both Giants and Cubs are still upon the edge of
I the main highway, neither has yet put upon display any
| consistent flag winning stuff. So m the September dnro
the four clubs named above are the ones to be listed i
leading contenders.
Comparative Power.
How do these four clubs compare? There isn't much t
choose among the catchers. Boston and Pittsburgh hav
the better infields There isn't a ranking outfield in th
bunch.
In the way of pitching power Brooklyn carries a great?
aggregate of class, with Boston next. Pittsburgh sn
Philadelphia are forced to bank in the main upon two sta
slabmen Mamaux and Alexander.
This portion of the dope stands proven in the record.
While Mamaux has won 18 games and lost but 5, Adam:
Harmon and McQuillen together have only won somethin
like 28 out of M games maintaining nothing better tha:
an even break. Alexander has drawn more help fror
Mayer, but this athlete in the last six weeks has not beei
i'ble to win half his games, while Demaree, Rixey an.
Chalmers have all fallen below the .500 mark in combine?
conques??. On the other hand, with Sherrod Smith, Del!
F.ucker, Coombs and Pfeffer, Brooklyn hasn't been forced t
depenil upon any one lone star, as Pittsburgh and Phila
delphia have.
Brooklyn at bat carries more of a punch than any of th?
other three, with Pittsburgh next, Boston third and Phila
delphia fourth. But none of the four clubs is hitting th?
ball as a flag winner should all four being below .250.
On the bases Pittsburgh has more speed, but Boston i:
the best run maker of the four by a tidy margin.
So in the way of comparative dope Brooklyn has the edg?
in all-around stuff. Pittsburgh has the best of the sched
ule. Boston has the lead in "stretch experience." Am:
the Phillies have Alexander and Cravath.
One Near Certainty.
One development seems to be as close to certainty as
anything in baseball ever gets. If the Braves launch an?
other upward smash and win again they will find a far
rockier road ahead than they knew in 1914, where they
finally galloped in 10 lengths to the good. No 10 games ?
probably no 5 games--wi!l separate the first and second
clubs this year. The Braves haven't been able to maintain
anything like the speed they started with four weeks ago.
and there ha.? yet been no ?ign that Brooklyn, Philadelphia
or Pittsburgh is ready to slip and drop from the fight.
Based upon what shreds of the dope we itill hsve left.
the next six weeks will see the most hectic period the
National League has ever known?hectic beyond all imag?
ining.

HARD FOUGHT MATCH

Tournament Feature.
By FRED HAWTHORNE.
Seabright, Aug. 14.- xvicnard Norris
Williams retained his hold on tha
Achelis Challenge Cup to-day by de?
feating Karl h. Benr, ins challenger,
in a hard fought tour-set match, the
scores being 7 ?">, f 1. :i o. 6?2.
The match was the feature event of
the annual invitation lawn tennis tour?
nament of the Seabright Lawn Tennis
and Cricket Club, and a crowd of about
three thousand persons jammed its way
into ? latei ?d on every
spot where a view of the court could
be obt..
Williams well deserved his triumph.
He was within a shade of being the
same marvel of the courts who had
v. r? ted the national title from Maurice
McLoughlin at the Newport Casino lait
September. Behr plainly showed that
the tine edge had been worn off his
game by the desperate match with Me

The stage'had been well set for the
, match. The court was as near perfect
? as the most pain-taking care could
! make it. The turf was hard, firm and
wonderfully true in fact, McLoughlm
and Williams both declared that never
had they played on liner courts, not
', even excepting the famous centre court
at Wimbledon, in England.
The tournament committee, consist
, ing of George ?.'arpenter, secretary of
the club; Bernon S. Prentice, chair
; man, and J. C. Hoagland, the club
irer, had worked out earlier the
? letails attendan' upon the match,
i and there was not a hirch in the pro?
gramme.
The court was amply protected from
encroachment by the spectators by a
off inclosure twenty feet from
? the side lines, and the ?pace back of
the courts was likewise barred, except
to a favored few, consisting of play?

The stands filled up early, and fl**e
