All ided to stay there. Sir Thomas|the “oars” in the 1930 challenger Lipten has been trying for 30 years‘were not pulling together. to win the America's Cup without | success but isn't through yet. The forthcoming challenge from the 8l-year-old Irish baronet will bz his sixth and the 1932 series of yacht races will be the second in three years. When Sir Thomas, in very poor health, left Newport, the scene of the disaster to his Sham- rock V, the tea merchant’s pursuit of the “old mug” was believed at an end. Now it appears his friends counted Sir Thomas . out prema- turely. The odds, at least, will be less heavy against the next Lipton chal- lenger. Mechanical contrivances such as aided the defender Enter- prise last year have been ruled out, [ To the length of service you have had from your tires, add the many miles of driving — naturally blowouts are to be ex- pected.

West vs. South Three Far Western football teams will reverse the usual order of things and go to the southeast dur- ing the forthcoming season. Navy Bill Ingram's University of California eleven journeys to At- lanta to play Georgia Tech in the first game of a two year home-and- | home agreement. Santa Clara, which has a habit of turning out strong aggregations and which sent Adam Walsh to Yale, will meet Clark Shaughnessy’s Loyola outfit at New Orleans. The Crescent City also will be the location for the contest be- tween Washington State, 1930 Pa- cific Coast Conference champions, and Tulane which rivalled Alabama for Southern Conference honors last fall. Lefty’s Solo Dash Lefty Grove, a la Paavo Nurmi, has had to run the major league| pitching race all by himself this season. The winning streak of the A’s lefthander recall the sensation- al duel in 1911 which resulted in ‘Walter Johnon and Joe Wood joint- ' ly eetting a new American League record of 16 succesive victories. Johnson was unbeaten that year from July 3 to August 23, Wood from July 8 to September 15. The Red Sox ace led the hurling list with a final total of 34 victorles against 5 defeats for a winning percentage of .872 that has not been touched in either major league. Grove has a good chance to eclipse this figure. Chief Bender nearly equalled Wood's and Johnson's records when he won 15 straight for the Athletics in 1914. | Nurmf's Record | Speaking of Nurmi, only one other athlete in Olympic history has won championships four suc- cessive times. This was accom- splished in the field events, where Ray Ewry of the old Irish-Ameri- can A. C. leaped off with the standing high and broad jumps in 1900-04-06-08. ‘These contests no, longer are on the program. Martin Sheridan in the discus, John Flanagan in the hammer throw and E. Lemming of Sweden in the javelin each won three suc- cessive Olympic crowns in their specialties, but no runner has ap- proached Nurmi's record on the track. YOURE RIGHT MUST BE ON ME WAY- (ol VETS AND ELKS GAMETOMORROW Champions of 1931 and American Legion Play on Island Sunday What seems likely to be the only post-season baseball game this year will be played Sunday evening | at Douglas, weather permitting. The combatants will be the Elks, champions of 1931, and the Am- erican Legion club. The game is dedicated to Johnny Niemi, Elks' star center fielder, who suffered an arm injury in the last game he played here, being struck on the left elbow by a pitched ‘ball. | Arrangements have been made for a special ferry to leave here at 5:30 for ball players and local fans who are expected to turn out in goodly numbers. Far West’s Story as Told by Explorers COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Aug. 15—One of history’s great stories of adventure—the explora- tion and conquest of ‘the: Ameri- can far west—is being written in the words of the explorers and conquerers themselves. | From scores of A American li- braries and manuscript collections, the Stewart commission on west- ern Listory, directed by Professor Archer Hulbert of Colorado col- lege, has’ collected thousands of typéwritten and photostat pages to make up an authentic documentary |story of the conquest of the west.
