Plant, won the Cape May Challenge Cup yesterday. She crossed the finish line off Ambrose lightship at 3.31.29 in the afternoon, two hours twenty-six minutes and forty seconds ahead of her opponent, Robert E. Tod's Katoura, As precicted the Elena not only won, she established a new record for the course of 214 miles, by covering the distance in 38 hours. 39 minutes record, made by the Katoura last year, | by 2 hours $9 minutes 36 seconds Her average speed for the firet half of the course—107 miles to the Five Fathom lightship—was 10.93 knote Her average speed for the entire dis- tance was 7.61 knots The Katoura finished at 65841 and her elapsed time for the distance was 80 hours 55 minutes 41 seconds, She speed for the £4 miles was 692 knots, Both yachts would bave cut the record further if they had had a fresh and steady breese for the entire course, As it turned out, the wind held strong almost all the way to the Five Fathom Ughtship Tuesday night, but it fell of | coming back. After rounding the lightship the wind went into the southeast, This was foi- lowed by @ dead calm at midnight and for some time after, A head wind from the northeast beld them back for an hour or two, A Breese from the south southwest, @ fair wind for both yachts, brought them Up the coast at good speed af daybreak, and when the Biena was first sighted by the Regatta Cém- mittee on board the steam yacht Viking, anchored at the finish 1} heading for Rockaway Beach with all her ates set and drawing, Skipper Dennis had Mpeen practising his tactics of “tacking down tes Wind.” He jided her to starboard soo: od the finish line, The nm sight at that time, after and so cro Katoura was nov Bow chts, accompanied by the Vana- {ts wachored inside Sandy Hook last night aa Hay MONTREAL ENTRIES.

Uncle Wilbert Robinson has had his chance, and the fact that his boys have not taken advantage of it Is no fault of the Giants, Even the Phill have shown a willingness to con- tribute by merely standing etill, but in Brooklyn there ts nothing doing. andl second. This beats the previous | one Dodgers have not even shown! superiority over the unhappy Pirates, a team that figured to be a feeding ground for all contenders on their final Eastern swing. Nes Dodgers may not de “dogging” . but we can certainly be accurate iy the assertion that they are show- tg no real fighting spirit. After the Giants wrenched the lead away from the Phillies, the way was wide open for a triumphal Brooklyn march. But scamehow Robbie's gang refuses to march. If they keep on another club is Mable to take one healthy swing and knock them off their perch, And the club carrying this wallop may not be the Phifiies, either. You may say what you please about the rowdy tactics of the Boston Braves, but, right now, they are the gamest clud in the National League. From a hope- lesa position and with a crippled team they have rounded to with a whoop. Two full games were gained on the dunch yester day, and they did tt against a stronger clud than either the Phithes or Dodgers had to tackle, Our New York rooting for Brooklyn appeare to be growing threadbare. They have done nothing to furnish the gang with fresh pep. Still, there ts a satisfaction In these parts over the way those Giants are cutting up as a finishing touch to an otherwise disastrous season, By cap- turing the double-header from Matty’s Reds they have won eight straight games, or, to be more exact, Dine out of the last eleven, Matty declares that McGraw now has the best ball club he has seen around here aince 1912, Tn all the glory of a triumphal fin- ish the one feature of the Giants that leasea McGraw 3s the work of Benny Kaur, At iast the $35,000 Fed star has made good, Hoe should be a bear next season.

Several bad plays that were no fault of Smith appeared to rattle him and McGraw took him out of the game, Perritt taking his place, Smith gets credit for the victory, however, as his club was ahead when he withdrew. The double-header with the Reds was punctuated with several byplaye that had the crowd tn a gay humor for the whole afternoon, Early in the day a fight sd in the right fleld stand and was about to be stopped by Hienio Zimmerman, the well known player-policeman, when he discovered that the brawl had been arranged by a moving picture oper- ator. Later a young man named Daly, from Holyoke, arrived and amused himself and 10,000 spectators by buy- ing a bushel of peanuts in small bags and hurling them at favored specta- tors. The press box got a shower of goobers, the most laughable free show Polo Grounders have had all season, Mr. Daly later apologized, explain. ing that he had drunk out of the wrong glass while on his way to the festivities. |. Ferdinand Schupp had another of his good days, and for a while it was feared that he would attempt to pitch a double-header. The heavy altters of the Reds were easy for Ferdinand 80 easy, in fact, that McGraw now feels sure of another crack twirler as an addition to his staff of regulars. It fe almost a sure thing now that Battling Levinaky and Jack Dillon, who have fought many no-decision contests, and on last Tuesday night boxed a draw at Memphis, Tenn., will come together in @ twenty-round battle at the Louli Av itortum at New Orleans on Thanksgiving Day.
