A moderate r-outhwest. lireczo -.vas blowing when the starting: 4gnnl was given and all of the fifteen starters were promptly on time in crossing the line. Krom the maze of sails and boats the Altair and Hydra emerged soon after they got under way and the race that these, yachts put up throughout. :!>n eight-mile journey was one of the most interesting seen this yrnr. Lor , i;,rt- par!, of the first half of the race, .m- once around the four-mile tri? angular ?-ours?-, these fid rival- were o close together tii.it it was difficult to -eparatc them. The southwest breeze diminished somewhat during the sailing of the -eeond half of the race and the Hydra, which finished the first instalment in the good time of .r>l minutes and '?0 seconds, took 59 minutes and 10 sec? onds for the second half. Mr. Inslee. in the Shadow, could never make up the lost time of the first half and fin? ished fourth, flying the colors of the Layside Vacht Club, and closely fol? lowed by two other yachts representing the same organization Donald II.

I f?N AlTtAIRNESS 1 f f By i W. J. MACBETH SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y., Aug. 18.?Whatever influence the futu conduct of the war may have on the health of sports in general, fe will attempt to deny that organized baseball has become a dead issi iOr the time. The major leagues may or may not operate, in some fashic in 1919 as a sort of formality to retain a show of legal title to territori rights. A schedule entailing daily games, with customary long road trip seems at this distance absolutely out of the question. And no one seems to care greatly?none but the magnates themselve I hat is. In no business or profession these many years has there been sue pulling and hauling at cross purposes as has distinguished the executiv? of organized baseball. The head.- of this professional sport were forev< quarrelling among themselves, vilifying <me another, disrespecting tl laws and covenants sacred to the game for lejral redress of fancied wrong till the public finally sickened and tired of it all. And when baseba might have been saved by some friendly influence close to the administn tion it found itself without friends. It. seems the sad case of the old hous divided against itself. Factions Crop Out in Both Leagues IT REQUIRED but the knowledge of the War Department's wish for a early close of the present season to show forcibly enough (hat eon mercialism has supplanted sportsmanship in the operation of this gres professional game. It was a case of every one for himself once the inev table was realized. Owners of the clubs with the best pennant prospect wished to wind up instant er and begin the world's series. Tinoso out o the race held stubbornly to the plan of playing out the string to the las possible day of grace. The. National League, pyer a weak-kneed and vacillating body. brov? beaten by the big whip of Big Han Johnson, added infamy to calumny whe it repudiated the stand of its former president, John K. Tener, against th piracy of the American League in the case of Pitcher Scott Perry. No on of sporting blood can feel very sorry for whatever knocks fate may bru? in store for this jellyfish of the sporting whirlpool, in repudiating Tcnc the National League simply van to form. But the American league, al ways placid on the surface, at least, seems to have adopted old Nationa League propensities. Its club owners are now fighting among themselve and against the mailed fist of Ban Johnson's autocratic rule. Baseball should and must live, even if forced to suspend temporarily Reorganization will follow close upon the heels of a world peace. Ther is little doubt that many present operators, in on a shoe string, may b forced into other lines of business endeavor. But that fact should no discourage the fans. Baseball for a decade has been badly in need of : thorough house cleaning. The game well may bide present inconvenience in order to attain such purification. About That World's Series NOBODY seems to know whether or not there will be a world's serie: next month. And no one cares aside from the interested club owner and players. The Chicago Cubs have practically cinched the National League pen mint. The Red Sox have a pretty fair grip on the American League lead, ii view of the fact that the Hub concludes its season at home two weeks hence Still, Cleveland and Washington are both so close up to the Red Sox tha' the pennant issue may not be decided until almost the last day. Here is an American League situation, then, which in normal time: would have the sporting world agog two weeks before the close of the sea son. Yet no one. hears any world's series talk. This classic of Amcricar sports might pay promotion expense?. It can hope to do little better this year. The bottom has fallen out of baseball for the time. Crime Wave at Saratoga SARATOGA suffered last week one of the most severe moral shocks o? its experience, when a band of "Yeggs," supposedly from the Middle West, began operations with blackjack and pistol, against the visiting rich and local poor alike. The Saratoga police force proved inadequate to cope with the situa? tion. The yeggmen and gunmen, emboldened by the lack of initiative or the part of the town coppers, extended their energies in lawlessness until not even the most frequented streets and the finest residential sections were safe. Private homes were burglarized; automobile parties held up, robbed and sometimes unnecessarily abused; several automobiles were stolen for marauding forays. A track watchman was murdered with an axe for a paltry $200. The wave of crime became so pronounced by mid-week that none but the most venturesome dared sally forth to take the night air unless heavily ! trended. Wallets and jewelry were cached in the strong boxes of the hotels and a number of excellent citizens sought safety in flight. Saratoga's citizenry, be it known, since time immemorial, has re? served the exclusive right to hold up visitors, and quite naturally joined in the hue and cry against the alien yeggmen. Conditions have improved greatly within the last couple of days. The timorous local police force has been supplemented by a force of plain clothes men from the metropolitan sleuths, used to dealing with just such sort of ducks as terrorized the peace 1 and tranquillity of the Spa. The foreign-bred burglar is getting his with a j vengeance now. When the big town boys clean up the city proper it might ? be a good idea to give them a few hours' elbow exercise at the track. Week Marks Racing Improvement THE week of racing just concluded here served a fitting testimonia! of what might be accomplished for the game if the authorities always ; were on the alert to divine and punish evil doing. Ever since Jockey Haynes was set down for an apparently indifferent lide of Reddest, the steeplechase jockeys have been on the alert. Since ; then there has been no suspicion of "boat racing.'' The suspension of McGraw worked quite as admirable a miracle with the riders of fiat races. Excellent competitions, closely fought finishes and new track records have been in order. It is understood the officials have under investigation cer? tain other suspects, the knowledge of which has all the jockeys and trainers 1 minding their "P's" and "Q's." This work of vigilance is one the stewards will do well to prosecute with the utmost vigor, not only now but every racing day of every season. Compared to what had gone before, the racing of the last few days has been ' refreshing to a degree. Public confidence is being reassured. Those in i control have it within their power to make the thoroughbred sport as popu ! lar, as it ever was in the halcyon days. Lewis Begins Training To-day for Leonard Bout Benny Leonard and Ted "Kid" Lewis will be two of the best trained boxera, that ever stepped into the ring when these two champions get into action at the Airdrome Club, at Weidenmay | er's Park, in Newark, on the evening of September 10. Although the battle is more than three weeks off, Lewis plans to open training quarters this afternoon at Grupp:s Gym. He will remain here for about five days, and then probably will move his camp to Atlantic City. When Lewis moves out of Grupp's, Leonard will move in. The world lightweight champion will secure a leave of absence from Camp Upton within a few days, and will have at least two full weeks to get into per? fect condition. Leonard realizes that this is the ! most important bout of his career. It is the hardest match he has ever made. Il?- went out of his class twice to bat? tle and whip Jack Britton, hut this time he is ?oing aicainst a battler whom i he considers better than Britton. -__-?.

Aug. 13. -Brook? lyn's chance to wrench away fourth place in tin"- 'oaf,;'- fight from Cincin? nati became more remote to-day when Lhc visitors los; both games o? a double-header. The score of the first game was 8 to 1 and the second ?"> to 1. The local men collected eleven hits from Coombs, the Dodfrcr twirler, in the first tra?ne, amenfe which were five safeties for extra bases. Blackburnc was especially troublesome to Coombs, as in three trip;; to the piale he gathered a .ingle, double and a home run. Luque held Brooklyn to five scattered hits, contributing a run to the Brooklyn team with a wild pitch in the third inning. Eller's effectiveness in the pinches netted Cincinnati the second same. Fourteen Dodgers were employed in this contest to turn in a victory, but EHcr forced eijj-ht Dodgers to remain stranded on (he bases. EHcr allowed only two hits for six frames. Li the seventh, triples by Archer and Olson gave Brooklyn its only run.
