NEW BRITAIN -DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY,- JULY 22, 191\ WANT MORE RACES ~OFF SANDY HOOK| Yachtsmen Seck Mere Trials Be- tween Cup Defending Candidates. New York, July 22.—The crews of the cup defenders are enjoying a rest. They Had a strenuous two weeks at Newport and although they did not do mugh racing it was tiresome work, sailing in fog and light, fitful winds. Many yachtsmen are urging that more trials be sailed off Sandy Hook - instead of off Newport and among | these are some who are interested closely in the cup yachts. They maintain that the average weather off the Hook is much better than it is off Newport and that there would be more likelihood of sailing in a good wind over the cup course than off Newport. Then again, théy argue, the cup races are to be sailled off the Hook and those who are to defend the cup should have opportunities of studying the tides and currents and the shifts of the wind where they are to sail the international races. - When the Shamrock IV. arrives here she will be tried out over the cup course, and W. P. Burton, her skipper, will carefully study local con- ditions as much as possible. His knowledge should be valuable to him in sailing the races. It is reported that the Resolute will again try her single headsail rig. This lowers her rating very much and in- creases her time allowance, but it is very doubtful if she is nearly as good a yacht under. this rig as she is with her double headsails. At windward work. she is said to be better with the single sail, but when reaching or running she is not as fast be- cause she cannot carry as large a balloon jib topsail or spinnaker with the single headsail as she can with the double sail. The sizes of the spinnaker and balloon jib topsail are regulated by the length of the base of the forward triangle, that is the distance from the end of the bowsprit to the fore side of the mast. With the single headsail this is about forty- . five feet, but with the double head rig it 1s more than sixty feet. C’QI‘!}INS SIGNS NEW CONTRACT. Is Long Term One, But Conditions of It Are Not Given Out. Philadelphia, July 22.—Eddie Col- Hns; signed a long term contract last night to continue his labors for the Athletics. Neither Mack nor Col- lins would say how long the contract runs or the sum the player is to get each year, but it was said that he received a substantial boost over his present stipend, which is $6,000 per “annum. Collins was one of the stars the Federal league was said to be hot after and one story had it that the nimble second baseman had an offer of a two-year contract calling for $8,000.a year, with a $3,000 bonus to stgn. Collins never would admit this, although he did not refuse to say that the Feds had made him a most enticing offer.

Captain Harry Noyes would have draped himself around the bench had the game between New Britain and New London been played yesterday. The New Britain club was at prac- tice when the rain came down and called off the proceedings. Dorey Miller was to have played third with Tetreault going back 'to his old stand in right fleld. Miller is an inflelder by profession. Noyes has been falling off in his hitting and many fans bélieve drives get by him that should' besnaggled.

He did not appear in the playing uniform of the club but satisfled Scinski'in the|’ warming up practice that-he - was above the- average. husky boy from Bast Orange, N.

One of them is a fast infielder from .the Twin-State league, dlready mentioned in these columns. : Wee Willle' Jones, champion middle gardener of the Eastern association, is a real sport. ' In the game against Springfield Monday Jones lost an op- portunity to score a valuable run by ‘allowing himself to be doubled off sec- ond on a fly to Keegan. After the game Jones “ ‘fessed up” that it was poor baserunning and he told Scinski he wouldn’t feel hurt if a fine of $5 was imposed. Scinski has yet to fine any of his players, although if he did some of the men he has had Jjustice they would now owe him money. A roundabout offer has been made to Scinski of Bill Yale, the former first sacker. Scinski does not take kindly to the suggestion as he be- lieves Yale is passe. Jake Warner, formerly of New Britain and known as the man who made the Plainville haircut famous, was in town yesterday with Gene Mec- Cann’s New Londoners. Jake says Billy Waterman, the former New Britain pilot, is playing with King- ston of the New York-New Jersey league, and is going strong. After a careful investigation Pres- ident O'Rourke of the - Eastern as- sociation has decided-that First Base- man Keliher of Hartford was large- 1y responsible for the fight at Savin Rock last week. He also censures Catcher Waters of New Haven for his nagging tactics but finds that the actual fight was started by Keli- her. The Hartford player is fined $25 in addition to the $56 fine he received when put off the fleld. Waters is not fined for. the fight but the $6 fine imposed when he was ejected from the game will stand. The president did not depend upon the testimony of players alone but heard evidénce from sevefal’ promi- nent New Haven residents who were seated within a few feet of the scene of battle. They said Gardella of Hartford and Waters were disputing when Keliher, after a few words, struck Waters. Kellher claimed Wa- ters called him a vile name but tes- timony of outsiders contradicted this. In view of the crippled condition of the Hartford club, President O’'Rourke did not feel justified in suspending Keliher. Although Wa- ters was not to blame in this affair, the president took occasion to roast him for constant bickerings with um- pires and warned him that he must leave the officlals alone. In Wa- ters’ version of the affair he claimed .CONNOISSEURS {4 PREILR s Try a glass next time and you will quickly - te why they are so popular. Fiicher Brewery, Hartford, Conn.

INTO EXTRA INNINGS Mathewson Rushed in to Tum Tide in the Nath Cineinnati, July 22.—For the Giants this is the open season .for inning games, and they are bagging all they can while the bagging is good. Yesterday they played their third within a week. They quered the Reds in a thirteen inning contest. The score was 6 to 5 and the Giants had to do uphill battling twice to catch up with the Reds. Old Master Matty stepped into the breach in the ninth inning, when the score was a tie and blanking the other side was next to a necessity to win, and in the five innings that he pitched the Reds didn’t make a hit. Not only that, but they never reached first base on Matty. Whatever he had—and he showed some speed with his flawless control—the Reds stabbed and poked and nibbled vainly at it.

WHITE SOX TO GET BAYLESS. But Coast League Star Will Not Move Up Until Next Year. Portland, Ore., July 22.—'“There's nothing in the story to the effect that Dick Bayless will be sent to the Chi- cago White Sox in the next six weeke. We couldn’t afford to weaken our team right now. Bayless is the most valuable player in the Coast league right now and it would be almost suicide to have him off our club.” This was the statement made here by Happy Hogan, manager of the Venice club. “Mr. Maier would rather win the Pacific Coast League pennant than find $100,000 in the middle of the street,” continued Hogan. “This yvear we have our best chance to ,gather the championship and we are not going to weaken the club at this stage. Bayless is just as big an asset to us as Buddy Ryan was to McCredie in 1911. “It is cut and dried for Bayless to go to the White Sox in 1915, but throughout this year he will remain with us. He has driven in more runs by far than any other man in the league, and if he continues his good work we will win the pennant.” Captain Bayless picked Venice, Portland and Los Angeles to finish one, two, three in the league at the end of the season. MAY TRADE BODIE. Chicago, July 22.—Ping Bodie of the White Sox may become a Brewer, according to statements by local mag- nates. . Comiskey is said to be con- sidering trading Ping for Happy Felch, a Milwaukee player. 3 SERENELY FLAGWARD Bag Tw) Gm? ffi Lowly Nans: 0 in 11 Innings. Philadelphia.

In the next three innings he struck out one man. In the ninth he allowed the Athletics to tie the score when he wild pitched Collins in from third.
