Norman (Sweets) Marden, a club mate, who with one or two others were giving Gude a great fight, came to grief within a length of the finish when his craft | smashed against the Aqueduct Bridge, | its front being ripped to smitherines. | Marden was promptly rescued by per- #0ns in_a motorboat nearby. | Old Dominion Boat Club of Alex- andria accounted for the other two open rowing events, the quad sculls and the four-oared gig, and for each victory | received & McKinney plaque. | An interesting feature was the Po- tomac Boat Club eight-oared shell race between married and single men crews. | The benedicts, with Granville Gude stroking, captured the race by half a length after a bitter battle. | A diving and swimming exhibition was put_on by members of the Wash- | thgton Swimming Club, including Leo- nora_Taube, Emma Ball Reed, Betty O'Malley, Alma Whalen, Florence Skad- | ding, Annabell Whalen and Onalene | Lawrence. !

U. S. Too Precise, Yachtsmen Aver N WPORT, R. I, September 18 (CP.A).— “You Americans,” declared an eminent British yacht- ing authority, “go too close to extremes.” His reference was to the various labor and time saving appliances with which Enterprise is fitted, appliances that make for such things as perfectly fitting sails, that indicate pressure and so forth. In other words, his protest and the protests of other spokesmen, self- constituted and otherwise, for the challenging party are ' protests against the application of mechan- ical efficiency to a racing yacht. It is inferred, indeed it is definitely stated, that such efiiciency violates the spirit of pure amateurism. But does {t? To be an smateur is ft essential that one be slipshod, careless, neglectful, unscientific? When a man employs all legitimate processes by which his chances of success in a sport may be increased is his amateur standing blemished? Is it a transgression of the code of an amateur and a gentleman to go in for a game with the single idea of winning that game fairly? Surely in a contest involving nations no one would expend time and energy and money with any other purpose in mind.

FUNDS TOBUY CUP FORLIPTON POUR Contributions for Tribute to “Most Cheerful Loser” Swamp Custodians. Py the Associated Press EW YORK, September 20—The American people have set out to show Sir Thomas Lipton what they think of a good loser, and today they had indicated they would send him back to England this time with & cup worth a whole lot more, in .monetary value at least, than the trophy he had tried five times in vain to win. Ope mail alone brought into the office of Mayor James J. Walker today more than $250 toward the purchase of “The Americans’ Oup” for Sir Thomas in lieu of the America’s Cup, which stays in the trophy room of the New York Yacht Club. At the suggestion of Will Rogers, who started the whole thing, Mayor Walker accepted the job as custodian of & fund to be raised at $1 a head from Americans who admire the spirit of the man who has been trying for 31 years to take back to England the cup which the schooner America took away from 14 British defenders in & race around the Isle of Wight in 1851, | Tonight it looked as if Mayor Walker would have to divide the country into sections and appoint regional chair- men. When the mayor's office closed at noon there still was a big stock of unopened letters, and in the office of Barron G. Collier, whom he named as | treasurer of the fund, was another plle. ~ Contributions were arriving in every mail, too, at the offices of several New York newspapers. Nobody had any idea yet how much had been re- ceived Contributions had begun tb arrive from out of town. Two came from Boston, one unsigned, and the other from W. F. Baldwin of Nome, Alasks who™was there on business. There was one from Charles Newbert, Baltimore oyster man, and one from Charles Zeller, jr., Chicago, who wrote “To the world's most cheerful loser.” EIGHT DEFEATED JONES Amateurs Who Took Measure of Golf Emperor Listed.

The finals were staged on the courts at Vermont avenue and U streets be- fore a large gallery that witnessed four games of expert pitching. With the elimination of Marshall, Virginia run- ner-up, excitement wes rife when Prazter and West paired off for the de- | ciding contest. Both players had made a hit with the gallery, but Prazier, because of his youth and outstanding personality had won the favor qf most fans. The first game was tame, West win- ning it 52-40. The second was a “knockout.” Phe “Kid” started with a | double ringer and put the crowd into an uproar. He ran up a 16 to 0 before | West got started. But from this point | |it was a battle with ringers galore clacking on the pegs. It was any- body's game when West fought his way to within four points of the lead. But | he had burned himself out temporarily | and with the score 40 to 36 Frazer tossed three ringers to take a well earned victory. The crowd sent up a cheer heard blocks away, even West | | smiling his admiration of the youngster. | West_went after the deciding game in deadly earnest, however, and at least two of a frenzied gallery were pulling | with him—his wife and mother. As | darkness hovered over the courts, he | piled on ringer after ringer to subdue the gallant youth from Georgetown, |50 to 36. | | A RTHUR A.

Prisch, Gelbert and Adams are not the only “money” ball players on it. And those men can field and they can hit. The Athletics took command of the situation in their league early enough s0 that they have been able to coast a little. The Cards have had a tough road and will come up to the series at full speed.

Jack Young of the playground department rendered valued assistance in the final tourney. The spirit shown in the 1930 tournament speaks for a better one in 1931. EOLA FRAZIER, runner-up in the western _section, defeated Sergt. Angus Hayes vesterday for the District colored_championship, winning the first game, 50 to 34, and the second, 50 to 15. After the city contests a special game was tossed befween David Baylor, metropolitan chargdon of 1929, and Prazier. With WP score 49 to 33 against him, Baylor put on ringer after ringer until he was within & point of Frazier. His next toss was & three- pointer, but Prazier's first shoe knocked it off 'and itself slid on for enough points to beat the 1929 champ.
