New Lewdon, Conn, Aug. 9.—The New York Yacht club fleet enjoyed one of the fastest runs in several years in the second event of the annual cruise today, when a twelve-knot southerly breeze blew twoscore of yachts 54 miles down Long Island sound with lee scuppers awash and every stitch of canvas doing its full pulling duty. From the start three hours after sun- rise at the eastern entrance to Smith- town bay to the relicking finish at the mouth of the Thames every yacht was heeled over to an angle of forty de- grees, and while it was a straightaway run with no sail shifting, there was plenty of sport in avery class and many of the finishes were very close. The principal prizes offered for the day were the cups of the Navy Alumni assoclation for sloops and schooners, and there were won by the sloop Cara Mia, & P class sloop owned by R. L. Cuthbert, and the little schooner Va- grant, owned by Haroeld Vanderbilt. In the regular.class the winners were the schooners Elena, Taormina and Vagrant, and the sloops Winsome, Avenger and Medora, In the small class the Cara Mia won in the P class, the Rowdy in the New York 30 footers and the Rival In the Sound schooners. It is many years since the New York fleet hag been favored with such a breeze of wind. It was blowing a fair wholesale breeze when the fleet left Smithtown, but by the time the yachts had reached out into the middle of the Sound the wind had hit up the pact to a good 12-knotter., The course was a trifle north of east, and as the wind was a little east of south it was a close fetch of 50 miles straight down the Sound with a strong ebb tide help- ing all hands. Every yacht in the fleet had a chance to show her best page, and some of them, such as the threa big schooners, ram as fast as the wind. . The Taormina was the only Boston vacht to score a victory for the new Dorello II. fell before the new Medora, although the Bostom yacht had the better of the start. The hottest race was between the two big schooners Elena and Enchan- tress. The former won the honors at the start by ten seconds, but so tenac- fously did the Iselin yacht cling to the Plant boat that the two yachts sailed for fifty miles with only the traditional biscuit toss between tliem. Four miles from the finish the Elena drew away and had 45 seconds to spare at the line. The pair made such fast time that only the smartest steam yachts in the fleet could keep up with them, and Rear Commodore Baker had to take their time from his yacht, the Viking. The Elena proudly led the fleet intc the harbor half an hour after eight bells of the morning watch. The rest of the fleet followed fast and at colors tonight there were 105 yachts anchored at the mouth of the Thames flying the red cross burgee of the club. The fleet will continue on to New- port tomorrow with a forty-mile Tua for the second race, VERNON M’KINNEY DOES MILE IN 201 1-2 Fastest Heat of Year on Any Track— Don Densmors Wing Free for All Pace. Pittsburg, Aug. 9.—Walter R. Cox, the New Hampshire driver on the Grand Circuit, had a field day of it to- day, the closing day of the Pittsburg meeting, winning every race in which he drove, three out of the four on the card. Cox won the 2,18 trot with Ar- ona McKinney, the 215 pace with Baron A, and the 2.20 pace with Myrtle Baron, all of them in straight heats. The free for all championship pace, the only one in which Cox had no entry, brought out the best field of the week. Evelyn W. the horse that paced 2.03 1-2 and 2.04 1-4 in Detroit July 25, InGependence Boy showing 2.02 1-4 {n the same rece, and Vernon McKin- ney and Don Densmore, all of whom met at Cleveland August 3 in the open pace which Hvelyn W. captured, and Sir R, who captured the 2.04 pace In Cleveland July 30, were starters in the race, which went to Don Dens- more, after Vernon McKinney had taken the first heat at 2.01 1-2, the fastest time of any heat on any track this year. Densmore took the second heat at 2.02 1-4, making two of the fastest heats on any track this year and clipped off the third heat at 2.05 3-4, The 2.20 pace, the last of the day's card, narrowed down to a two-horse race after the first heat. Doctor Weaver and Lew Perkins were dis- tanced In the first heat and Directum Patch ‘in the second. Myrtle Baron, the Cox horse, and Denver Jay, a Col- orado horse, were left to fight it out. Myrtle Baron took the race, but caus- ed heart palpitation in the stands when she broke at the quarter in the last heat and Denver Jay raced away from her. Befora the three-quarters, Myrtle Baron had again taken the lead and held it to the wire, winning by half a length, Baron A. got away in the lead in every heat of the 2.15 pace and held it to the finish. W, L. Snow showed some admirable head work with Major Odell, landing second after getting away In the rear in every heat, There was no other horse that had a show but Arona McKinney in,the 218 trot. The mare took the race in straight heats, running each in a lit- tle better time than the previous heat. About the Baltio-Plainfield Series. In answer to Baltic accepting the challenge of Plainfield B. B. C. of two out of three games, the challenge is that Plainfleld will play Baltic for $100 a side, game to be played August 17 or 4 on the same grounds, winner to take all gate receipts minus expenses of game. Umpire to be selected by sporting editor of The Norwich Bulle- tin. Put up or shut up. The crying game can be laig to Bal- tis not Plainfield, when a manager will deliberately tell a falselood in regards to agreement made at The Bulletin office July 29, and try to pro- test game on same. I would call that crying. As for luck, out of five tuns made, three for Baltic on eTrors, two i&ir Plainfield earned runs by timely ts. Nothing exciting about the gams but hits from Plainfield were more than Baltic made; hits, 13 for Plainfield, 4 for Baltic. PLAINFIELD BACKERS, All Stars vs. Sachems. Bill O'Neil has completed arrange- ments for a ball game scheduled for August 11 on the Cranberry grounds between Driscoll's All Stars and ths Sachems.

Friday's Market Had Many Periods of Extreme Inertia. New York, Aug. 9.—Until the final hour when the government crop re- port was issued, today’'s stock market consisted of little more than a series of narrow advances and declines, the exceptions being the higher priced spe- clalties, the Canadian group of rail- roads ang those traversing the south- ern states. There was much less trad- ing than i» the preceding days of the | week, with frequent periods of extreme inertia. Traders seemed bearishly in- clined, but evinced no desire to test th market, save in a tentative way. Public interest, especially as repre- sented by the investor, continues neg- ligible, as was shown in the heavier tendency of the four per cent. bond is- sues, The crop report showed improve- ment in corn compared with a month back and a tremendous gain over this period last yvear, Bqth spring wheat ang oats gained In the last month and their improvement over last year ought to insure bumper crops. The esti ed corn yield is greater by about 000,000 bushels than last last year's actual harvest. Roughly calculated on, the present showing, combined winter and spring wheat, may be expected to | exceed last vear's output by about 60,000,000 bushels Prices hesitated after the publica- tion of the report, but soon recovered and in the final dealings the ‘highest level of the day was attained by leading issues, with an active and strong close. Local monetary conditions pointed to increased ease, as shown in the shad- ing rates for long time accommoda- tions. The banks are expected to make a large cash gain in their deal- ings with the local sub-treasury and interior points. The trend of bond prices was lower, on moderate dealings.

Featherweight Champion Looking for Short Bouts with Mediocre Men. 01 10 Johnny Kilbane has given the sport- ing world many a laugh since he ac- quired the featherweight title, but his challenge to Ad Wolgast is certainly the funniest thing the Cleveland Streak has ever put over, according to C. F. Eyton. Johnny probably has made himself the most unpopular boy that ever held a championship, principally through his unwillingness to risk his laurels ; against a man of merit. He will box any boy of mediocre ability six or ten rounds in any kind of weather, but when a man of class tries to land him he claims “it's too hot,” or “that fellow weighs too much.” Personally he is a little gentleman, a clean living, good mannered youth, and, judging him from this angle, I admire him greatly and believe him to be a credit to the boxing game. But judging him as a world's cham- pion, which is impersonal, he is the worst kind of a frost, not because he hasn't the talent, as he is one of the most scientific boxers we have ever had, but because he is afraid to take an honest chance, and this fact ex- plains his unpopularity. The patrons of boxing demand that a champion. when he is in good health, defend his title occasionally, and this Kilbane refuses to do. Johnny makes excuse after excuse, untfl the public has come to think that Kilbane obtained his title only by being lucky enmough to catch At- tell out of condition, and at a time when Abe believed he had a taploca. The Cleveland lad's actions have led most people to believe that they will see Attell growing a long gray beard before he gets a return match, Promoter McCarey has kept the wires hot lately trying to get Kil- bane to agree to meet either Attell or Harry Thomas, but without effect. +Suddenly Kilbane breaks into print with a challenge to Wolgast. Now why does Johnny want to meet a boy out of his class when he refuses to prove that he is the peer of all the 122-pounders? It is because Kilbane realizes tha: the wonderful little Dutchman is a very sick boy, and that If he could coax him into a match in his present miserable condition he might outpoint hm, under practically the same con- ditions that he outpointed Attell, and g2in a lot of additional cash and glory. Should Ad win it would not agect Johnny's precious title and he could escape by saving that a lightwelght had beaten him. If Johnny is spoil- ing for a match with some 133-pound boy where he would not have to risk his championship he can talk busi- ness with either Rivers, Mandot or Ritchie. Any one of these boys would accom- modate the featherweight, but John- ny realizes that they are in the best of health, hence his challenge reads Wolgast only. I recall immediately after his fluke win_over Rivers when Johnny posi- tively refused to box Joe again unless the latter made 122 pounds for him. The Mexican offered all kinds of in- ducements, but without effect. You couldn’t pull Kilbane into the ring with Rivers again with a team of mules. If Johnny wants to prove his right to call himself champion let him meet Harry Thomas, who is just spolling for a chance with him at the feather- weight limit, Let Johnny show himself master of the 122-pound field before he tries to Jpreak into the class above him. SOCKALEXIS ‘A FERRYMAN. Once Famous Athlete Not the Physi- cal Wonder of Old. Sockalexis, one time the big leagne ation in baseballdom, is now run- nifing a little ferry on the Penobscot river, near the village of Oldtown, Me. He is not the Sockalexis of old. His step Is not firm, although there is still that hint of steel-spring muscles that gave him once the name of "Deerfot of the Diamond.” Thirteen years ago Sockalexis was a magic name. The history of the famous Cleveland player, who played under Patsy Tebeau, was common knowledge, but so quickly does fame pa that today he is seldom spoken of among ball players or patrons of the game Sockal when asked the other game, sald: “T was just reading thd account of the double-header between Jimmy Callahan’s White Sox and the Boston team. I was sorry to see Jimmy lose the two games. I remember when I layed with Holy Cross we met the Springfield team. At that time Calla- hang was the pitcher for Springfield, and my real start in baseball was In that game.

Prominent Men Among Those to Wel- come the Athletes. That the reception in New York to the Olympic athletes will be on a scale commensurate with”the victories they won at Stockholm was assuerd when Mayor Gaynor appointed a committee of nearly 200 prominent citizens to as- sist in the welcome to the champions. Some of those on this citizens’ com- mittee are Andrew Cargenie, August Beimont, John D, Archbold, Vincent Astor, J. Pierpont Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, Herman Ridder, Alfred G. Vanderbilt, George J. Gould, Jr., R. Fulton Cutting and Robert Goelet The mayor indicated that he would participate in the celebration, even if he had to curtail his vacation to do so. Tnvitations will be presented in person to President Taft and Governor Dix, and every effort made to have the af- fair of national character. The parade on the morning of August 2 will be headed by detachments of troops from Governors Island, Fort Wadsworth and Fort Hamilton. Jackies and marines from the nav, ard will follow. Then will come the National Guard and dele- gations from the athletic clubs. Her- alds bearing standards will announce the different members of the teams as their automobiles proceed along the line of route. A contingent of Boy Scouts, in command of Lorillard Spen- cer, and boys from the city playgrounds will form a guard along the sidewalks from Forty-second street to the City hall. B]n the evening there will be a dinner in Terrace Garden at the popular fig- ure of $2 a plate. There are accom- modations for 2,000 diners and it is ex- pected that nearly that number will be present. Dr. George F. Kunz has been ap- pointed chairman of the citizens' com- mittee, with Justice Vietor J. Dowling and President Finley of the City eol- lege vice chairmen. Vicotor Ridder is chairman and Frederick W. Rubien secretary. The expenses will be defray- ed by popular subscription. GAMBLE MAY LOSE SIGHT. Hammers Golf Ball te See What Makes It Resilient. Horace G. Gamble, professional at the golf grounds of the Athletic Club of Philadelphia, may lose his eye- sight as the result of the explosion of & golf ball with which he was experi- menting. Gamble started on a round of the course with D, C. Clegg. They were using & golf ball of English manufac- ture, which had been sent to Gamble to get his opinion on it. The ball was extremely livelr, much livelier than the ordinary golf ball. Gamble and Mr, Clegg returned to the clubhouse to investigate. They screwed the ball fast in a vice and Gamble struck it with a hammer. There was a sharp explosion, the ball was shattered and the liquid with which it was filled flew in Gamble's eyes. Gamble was placed in an auto- mobile and rushed to a local specialist, where it was discovered that the acid laced in the ball to give it life had urned Gamble's eyeballs. He is still In a dark room, and it will not be known for some days if the sight can be saved. DIPHTHERIA FROM SPITBALL. Make Pitcher Sick — Dooin Urges Disinféctant.
