Yankee was no match for the Rain

tons of ballast in Rainbow made a

ascertained yet, but the Yankee was
not herself. Her forestaysail fitted
very badly and was almost no use.
She was bothered considerably by the
small boats at the start, and there is a
suspicion in her afterguard that some
thing may be wrong with her center
board.

ASTINO precedent to the winds,
Thomas O. M. Sopwith’s En

the course.
The course was a 28,'4-mile triangle
In an east-southwest breeze, which was
light at the finish, but picked up some
what on the final stretch. The first
leg was to windward. 8*2 miles to
Torpedo Range bell buoy "A," off
Sakonet. It was followed by a run
of 13 miles to the Point Judith
Whistler and a 7-mile close reach
home.
Dick Boardman, with Weetamoe to
weather of Rainbow, hit the line at
the lightship end, but he could not
hold the position, and, within a min
ute after the gun, was forced to tack
offshore with the Prince sloop.
Vanderbilt brought Rainbow over
to cover Weetamoe and immediately
sailed right by her. The speed the
Rainbow showed at this point made
It seem almost as though she had
run into a stronger breeze consid
erably sooner than her rivals, but,
within 10 minutes of the start, she
had an almost unbeatable lead.
In the meantime Yankee finally

and was brought around to weather

As she came across, she was well

not cross Vanitie. Lambert tacking
his craft far to leeward of the leader.
Rainbow then continued this hitch

_BY BOD THOMAS
IP IT Isn’t out of order to speak
seriously of Washington box

boxing rules here were designed to
prevent punch-drunkenness among
other evils of the business.
In this instance the major’s
showmanship seems to have
come to the fore, and though
the bout has been panned to a
fare-ye-well, he stands an ex

Disdains Sympathy.
THE major may have been an
unscrupulous showman or a
sentimental adventurer—he’s
been to the far corners as sailor
and boxer, newspaper man and
magazine writer and editor, and
knows grit of all varieties at first
sight—but, anyway, an incident
following the Gallagher-Galento
affair intrigued him.
In the dressing room, after the
show, the major patted the
shambles of Gallagher on the
only part of him that seemed
undamaged—his back—and sym
pathised:
"Don't take it too hard,
Marty.”
And through Ups no longer
mates, due to missing teeth and
braises, the "pride of Foggy Bot
tom” puffed:
“Hard, h-1; I wish It had
gone five more rounds.”
If you know Gallagher, the un
imaginative, he was sincere. In
the last stages of a ten-rounder,
Gallagher was coming to the front
after a brutal beating, and in the
opinion of the ring wise would
have won the decision, even as
Marty suggested, had the battle
continued live more rounds. By .

Dean Brothers Docile, Ending
Card Mutiny, hut Fines Stick
Bj th» Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS. August 17.—Mutiny
In the Cardinal camp, which
Paul and Dizzy Dean, ace
pitchers, began so enthusiasti
cally by skipping a Detroit
exhibition game Monday, had nearly
died out today.
Paul, the younger of the brothers,
Joined Dizzy In expressing willingness
to return to uniform, pay the fines
and everything, just so they could get
back on the mound for the pennant
chasing Red Birds.
Least interested in the affair
seemed the Cardinal management.
“They don’t want us back at all,"
said Dizzy. “They asked us why we
didn't go on down to Florida, when
we saw them yesterday."
Dizzy added he didn't see what
else he and his brother could do
about it. t
In addition to having to pay fines,
the Deans are losing each day’s pay
during the suspension. Dizzy drops
about $50 a day, and Paul $20.
Dizzy thought maybe Judge K. M.
Landis, base ball’s high commissioner,
might step in and straighten out the
situation.
"I haven’t got in touch with Judge
Landis,” Dizzy said, “but he might
do something about it.”
Meanwhile the Cardinal manage
ment, with Frankie Frisch doing the
talking and Sam Breadon, club presi
dent, supporting his every move, re
mained adamant in their decision to
punish the revolters.
"Ten more days off the pay roll,”
was Frisch’s answer to Dizzy's first
move toward peace. At that time
brother Paul hadn’t become recon
ciled to the idea of paying a $5Q, fine.

August 17.—International war
fare over a 36-hole battlefield
was the program today as the
four survivors of the big start
ing field In the Canadian amateur
golf championship met in the semi
finals matches.
Canada and the United States each
had two survivors and the draw pitted
them against one another. In one
match Albert (Scotty) Campbell, the
defending champion from Seattle, en
countered Ernie Palmer of Winnipeg.
In the other and probably more im
portant clash Jesse Guilford of Bos

Both Guilford, the veteran Boston
"seige” gun, and Somerville, the only
Canadian who ever won the United
States amateur title, are rated as
players of top ranking.
Campbell, who just breezed into the
last four with a 6-and-5 victory over
Fred Hoblitzel of Toronto, was strong

FROM THE PRESS BOX
Saratoga Has Been Taken to the Cleaners;
Town Now Tame, Racing Business Is Poor.
JOHN LAKDNEB_
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. X.,
August 17.—Things are very
tough In this city of health
giving waters. In fact, things
seldom have been tougher.
Every candid student of finance,
from the hack drivers and program
sellers on Broadway to the down-and
out tipsters at tile track, will tell you
that Dick Canfield’s own town, the
Newmarket of America, is not what
she used to be! Not what she used
to be, many long years ago.
“This la a slow season, all
light,” says Jockey Don Meade,
walking toward the dance floor
at Newman's Lake House.
"Well, things could be better,” says
John G. Cavanagh, boss of the
bookies, leaning against the wall in
his corner of the betting shed.
“Gees, what a day," says Johnny
Tips Mahon, scanning his program
on the grandstand steps and covering
up a hole in the sleeve of his elbow.
"Them horses is a nickel a crate.”
Sin Is Shouldered Aside.
In a word, Saratoga has been taken
to the cleaners. Reform people may
call it another proof of the saying
that sin never pays, but sin, as a
matter of fact, practically has dis
appeared from Saratoga. Virtue is
rearing its ugly head at every turn.
A good deal of the betting traffic has
been transferred to the rival track at
Narragansett, and people who used to
gamble and drink in Canfield’s town
are gambling and drinking in their
own towns.
So, in the middle of the racing
season, we find this leafy old Babylon
in a very non-Babylonish condition.
The new, legal betting shed is occu
pied by about 65 bookmakers, all 65
of whom have plenty of reason to
complain. Frequently, the bookies,
with their cashiers, runners and sheet
writers, outnumber the actual bettors
in the shed.
There is none of that heart
warming congestion which
characterised the Jamaica bet
ting ring when the legal wager
was restored to New York State
last Spring.
Some of the best known books, like
Abe Hallow's and Tim Mara's, do a
fair business, and Tom Shaw, in his
yellow panama, is pushed and
jostled by a good many customers!
But the run-of-the-mine book is
dying of starvation.
Old John Cavanagh, who began his
track career selling programs at
Brighton Beach and now rules the
betting system with a firm hand, con
cedes that business could be better,
although he points out that a peculiar
combination of circumstances, in
cluding the opening of the Narra
gansett track, is making it tought for
Saratoga at this particular time.
Messrs. Hallow, Shaw and Mara do
not concede anything, because they
are concentrating on business.
Wheels of Chance Humming.
IT’S true that the old town is not
completely forlorn. Visitors still
arrive by the train load and fill
Broadway with the sound of their
footsteps and their eager talk in the
twilight. There is still a hum of
action at the crap tables and the
wheels. Big shots still patrol the
club bouse lnclosure and the grand
stand lawn at the track.
There still are a few high
speed horse players, headed, of
course, by Col. Edward Blley
Bradley.
A bad season is not going to stop
the colonel, though it may cramp his
style to some extent. He sank a
sizable wad on his filly, Bazaar, in the
Alabama Stakes this week, according
to report, and, though he had to put
up two bucks for one to watch the
eccentric young lady run second to
Hindu Queen, the colonel accepted the
result with fortitude.
Gamblers of the Bradley type are
not very numerous, however. You see
a few $100 and $500 bets laid In the
shed before each race, but mg*t of the
ooys ana giris are piaying witu nves,
tens and double sawbuclu.
The pricee are good, but the
bettors seem to require a much
better grade of bait than is
usual at Saratoga.
To cap It off, there is an unpleasant
reminder from time to time of the
fact that horse racing for the Im
provement of the breed can be a
pretty sad business. A horse named
Pelham was so thoroughly Improved
by running this week that he fell
dead on the track after the race. Sev
eral hundred people stood watching
while the ambulance drove up. and
one of the track hands kicked, the
horse thoughtfully In the hoof to em
phasise his deadness.
It may have occurred to some of
the spectators that the brown gelding
would have lived several years longer
If left to his own devices. Spectacles
like this are not good for the racing
business—at Saratoga or anywhere
else.

Cubs Miss Chance.
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, Jr,
Associated Press Sports Writer.
THE decisive series between the
Yankees and the Tigers—
which has the American
League pennant as its possible
stake—comes to a close today
just as it began Tuesday, with a
double-header.
The big difference is that the
Yanks are one more game to the bad,
5 Vs behind the league leaders, and
no such turnout as Tuesday's 80,000
throng Is expected.
Both the battered Yankees and
their rivals welcomed the day yester
day of rest and even their bad posi
tion In the race failed to discourage
Joe McCarthy and his club.
They haven't clinched the pennant
yet, was McCarthy’s comment.
Along with the Yankee-Tlger game,
the entire American League program
and the leading encounter In the
National League involving the league
leading Giants and the Pirates, gave
way to the weather.
