Kelley’s gang.
Whitehouse was slated to get his sec
ond chance at the Brewers this after

cals had a big seventh, scoring four
rms, and that round put the Tribe out

Crews Polish Boats for Last
Tests Before Race,
BY FRANCIS WHITE,
SANDY HOOK, N. J., July 14.—With
the return of the Resolute from Staten
Island, where she went Into drydook -W
be polished. It whs expected that both
the defender and the challenger would bo
taken out today for trial spins, providing
the weather cleared.
Tho grease and scum that has covered
the water In the Horseshoe cove during
the last two days has played havoc with
the Shamrock’s hull, however, and It was
thought likely that she would be taken
to drydock later In the day for another
polishing before the first of the Inter
national racsg tomorrow.
The accumulation of grease and scum
which clings to the under sides of a
yacht retard;] her progress through the
water and If the speed of a yacht Is re
tarded to a mere ten yards to the mile
it "Would moan 300 yards over the cup
course, a handicap which might 4slly
decide the Issue.
W hen Shamrock IV returned from a
four-hour . spin late Tuesday afternoon
her spick and span green coat, with white
waterline, was a smudgy brown.
This morning Capt. Burton decided
that the crew could remove the acumula
tion of grease above the waterline and
that what waa below, on her undersides,
would not Interfere with her sailing.
The weather here early today was thick
with fog horns and sirens shrieking their
uncanny warnings to mariners. The
forecast for tomorrow says light south
or southwesterly winds with showers,
which looks good for the Resolute.
The writer adheres to the belief that
if the cup is to stay in America a light
breeze in preference to heavy weathet
will be chiefly responsible for Us reten
tion.
Racing men are still sitting tight on
the question of tomorrow’s outcome.
There Is an air of “hanged If I know”
about the follow who should know, and
I could find little serious talk of bet
ting.

State Riders After Honors in
Big Event.
\
The Daily Times fifteen-mile handi
cap cycle derby to be staged over the
new Garfield park course Sunday, July
25, is attracting attention among the
amateur pedal pushers throughout the
state and Director Charles E. Wehr,
who has promoted bicycle races In In
diana for the past four years, announced
today that it probably will be the big
gest race of the season.
More than fifty entries have been filed
with Wehr at this date and it seems a
certainty that Jhis number will be more
than doubled before the first handicap
men leave the post, entries being ac
cepted up to that time.
Mancie, Terre Haute, Marion and An
derson, will send teams here for the
they promise to give the In
dianapolis stars a good run for their
money.
All riders in the state are asked to
try for honors. It makes no difference
whether they have ever raced or not, as
liberal handicaps will be awarded the
inexperienced and poorly mounted rac
ers. Handicap riders have won every race
Ataged in Indianapolis for the past tw o
years.
In order to draw a large field of
scratch riders in the coming race, Wehr
will offer a valuable list of time prizes,
among them a gold watch for first prise.
The Dally Times trophy will go to
the rider crossing the finish line first,
whether he be a handicap or scratch
man.
