Sam Jones got credit for hurling the | Nationals to their sixth win in a row, | but Sam had to have some help. He was found for eight safeties and four passes, two of the passes and two of the safeties being clustered in the eighth round, when the Tigers put over their lone marker It was the second pass of the inning that filled the bases with two out, and Jones was derricked after issuing the pass.

J, August 16— Hotsy Totsy for years the un- lucky “step-child” of the Gold Cup Racing Fleet, came into its own at last today. The slim mahogany speed boat that caught fire at Greenwich in 1927 and failed to finish in its only other attempt, in 1926. roared over the placid surface of the Shrewsbugy River this afternoon to win the historic trophy and set a new record average of 52.673 miles per hour for the 90-mile grind, run off in thre> 30-mile heats. ‘While four of the seven starters weakened under the burning pace and were forced to drop out through mis- haps to motor or gear, the sturdy Hotsv Totsy, owned by Victor Kliesrath and Richard F. Hoyt of Port Washington, N Y, & t around and around the 212-mile oval course at a pace that left all rivals behind. ‘Winning the second heat and taking runner-up honors in the other two. the Hotsy Totsy, expertly driven by Kliesrath himself, captured the cup with a total of 1122 points. Scotty Too, owned and driven by Sam Dunsford of ‘Wolfeboro, N. H., was runner-up with a second, a first and a fourth, for a total of 1,050. Third place went to the only other finisher, Miss Philadelphia. ‘This steady craft, owned by John D.

Other Records Go. | By the Associated Press. AMILTON, Ontario, August 16.— England's track and field forces, led by the brilliant and popular Lord Davis Burghley, the Olympic low hurdling champion, cap- tured major honors today in the open- ing events of the British Empire Game | staged by Canada for the first time and started with impressive pageantry. Lord Burghley, in characteristic style, contributed one of England’s two | individual victories when he romped | over the 440-yard low Hurdles to win and set a new Canadian record of 5445 seconds. England swept the first four places in the hurdles, in addition to which S. E. Englehart won the 220-yard dash final, while English competitors placed second in the remaining two events concluded, the hop, step and jump and the 6-mile run. No Points Awarded. Although no official points are award- ed for the games, an unofficial tabula- tion, based on the Olympic system of 10 points for first pce, 5 for_second, 4 for third, etc.. would give England a total of 46 points for_the four finals. with Canada showing 28, and scattered points to New Zealand, Scotland, South Africa and Newfoundland. Two records were broken and a third | created in the four finals. In addition to Lord Burghley's hurdle mark, which displaced the former Dominion record of 6625 seconds set by J. Montabone of Montreal, the hop, step and jump standard was broken by the Canadian Gordon Smallacombe of To- ronto. His leap of 48 feet 5 inches d placed the old record of 47 feet 113 inches made by J. G. MacDonald of Halifax in 1908. Savidan Wins 6-Mile. W. J.

BY EDWARD J. NEIL. Associsted Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, August 16.—Out of a I . fog as thick as those that tra- i ditionally cloak his native British Isles, doughty Sir Thomas’ Lipton sailed into New York Harbor today on his fifth quest of the America’s Cup, historic emblem of in- ternational yachting supremacy The tall, ruddy Irishman, bits of fog glistening on the fluff of whiskers that dot his chin, yachting cap perched jvuntily on his gray hair, his cheery face wrinkled in his famous grin, stepped briskly from the liner Leviathan to the welcoming boat Macom at Quar- antine despite his 81 years. His wit was as ready as ever, his hopes for the Shamrock V of the highest and his de- termination as strong as ever to lift the “old mug” if it takes the remainder of his life. Thinks He Will Win, ‘ve a feeling,” he said as he leaned against the foremast of the Macom, waiting for Grover A. Whalen, chair- man of New York's official welcoming committee, to appear, “that I've got the | boat at last that can ‘turn the trick. It's |about time the old mug came back | home again. You've had it for 79 years now. But if I miss out I shall challenge again as soon as possible.” While whistles, sirens. bells and horns sounded all over the harbor, Whalen introduced “Sir Tom" over the radio as the “outstanding sportsman of the world.” Sir Thomas has tried four times to win the America’s cup without success and has spent approximately $10,000,000 in the effort to regain for England a battered old mug actually worth about $150. With the first of the Shamrock line he met defeat for the first time in 1899, again in 1901 and 1903 and the last time in 1920, when the Shamrock IV bowed to the Resolute, skippered by Charles Francis Adams, now Secretary of the Navy. First Came in Steerage. After the fireman's band on the Ma- ed the “Star Spangled Banner" od Save the King, one of Sir Thomas’ first queries was for Secretary Adams, to whom he referred as a “charming fellow” with the hope that rey would again oppose each other as challenger and defender. Secretary Adams has been sailing the Yankee, & contender with the Enterprise. Weeta- moe and Whirlwind for the honor of defending the cup in the series start- ing_September 13 off Newport, R. L “When I first came here as a lad of 17 it was in steerage,” he remarked as he looked up once at the giant sides of the Leviathan, “now I'm arriving a devil of a well." Sir Thomas received daily reports aboard the Leviathan of the progress of the Shamrock V across the ocean. - He also said that he had received a mes- sage from King George of England last ‘Wednesday wishing success for himself | and his boat. He will leave for New London, Conn., where the Shamrock is rbeing overhauled, Monday or Tuesday. The veteran was verv tired when the reception ordeal was over but he still haa a word of thanks. “It is very pleasing to me to be told that I have the good wishes of so many American friends,” he said. “Indeed, if good wishes alone would bring me cup would be as good as vay, I believe we should have a good race.
