Vanderbilt came slanting down to the finish line. with the wind in- creased to 18 knots, a trifle short of a mile ahead.

Getliffe, Brenneman, and Desilets W i ll Form N ew Abbie Front Line.

(C- P. By Guardian's Special Wire)

STRATFORD, Ont., Sept. 24- Three amateur hockey stars of Stratford left today for Charlotte- town, P. E. I., adding to the gloom surrounding hopes for a hockey aggregation this winter. Ray Get- liffe, Walter Brennernan and Joffre Dfxsilets, who formed the regular forward line of Stratford Midgets last winter, departed for the East today.

Getliffe and Desllets were re- garded as among the outstanding juniors developed in Ontario in re- cent years.

Desilets’ decision to journey east- ward came as a. surprise but it was known the other two would appear in Maritime uniforms this winter. Getliffe will appear in Charlottetown to qualify for the playi g season and then will make the ong train ride to Winnipeg where he will report at Montreal Canadiens’ training camp to try out with the N. H. L. squad.

The line of Dcsilets, Getliffe and Brenneman led Midgets into the Junior Ontario Hockey Association final series in 1932-33 when New- market Redmen nosed them out. Desilets and Getliffe played with Midgets again last year while Brenna-man performed for Strat- forcl Indians in the Senior O. H. A. ranks because he had grown out 0f junior qualifications.

Getliffe would have been too old for Midgets this season but Desilets still had another year.

[Elli CAPTURE

Apparently the extra ba stowed aboard Rainbow after h two defeats. the addition of Frank Paine of Boston, Yankee designer. to her afterguard, and the techni- cal perfection of Vanderbilt's hand- ling, have made a new ship of her. The odds were anything you want- ed to name tonight that she'd suc- cessfully defend the cup Britain never has been able to win. and 2 to 1 that the series would end tomorrow with the sixth race, starting at 10.40 a.m., E.S.T.. over the 30-mile triangular course.

There was a most distinct c061- ne. amounting almost to hostility out on the open scs today with Endeavour sailing haughtlly off after the finish without the crew giving the victor the usual cheer. As Vanderbilt and Sopwith jockey- ed for a dead even start, they came right under the stern of the coast ouard cutter Argo, mother ship of the experts, and at no time did either Sopwith or Vanderbilt cast his gaze in the others direction. ‘They kept their boats far, far apart.

Leonard Gehringer, Just about as good a second baseman as baseball has produced in several years, isn't at all surprised that Detroit Tigers hold their first American League pennant in 25 years today. Geh- ringer said a month ago "We'll win that pennant because we have a good ball team."

“I'm not worried, anxri know the rest of the boys aren't either, about. the Giants‘ pitchers," Charley says deliberately. ‘We have a hard hit- ting, hustling club, and We've faced good pitching before this season.

“I knew at the start of the sea- son we had a fine club and the best manager in baseball today. Mickey Cocllrane. When we reached the top in July and stayed there, 1 was con- vinced we would come down in front."

Gehringer, a "ball player's player” who is one of the most popular mcn in the league, is the veteran of the Tigers. He signed with the club in 1924 and almost immediately earned a regular job at second. His spark- ling play, year in and year out, has been the hub of the Tiger defence and offense.

Gehringer is loath to admit, how- ever, that the fact he is having his bcst, year since entering the game has had very much to do with De- troit's showing. All season long he has waged a battle for the league's batting championship, and in the early part of the season, when team- mates were in bad slumps, it was Gehringer who steadied them with his brilliant play.

Gehringer makes up 1n batting strength and fielding skill what he lacks in aggressiveness. when Stan- ley Harris came to Detroit as man- ager, someone asked him why he wasn't going to play second base.

"Because I have the finest second baseman in baseball out there now," Harris replied. and Charley's per- formance this year has been oven better than in the years Harris headed the club.

"As Cvchringcr goes so go the 'I‘ig- ers," the fans have agreed for sev- eral years. Maybe that's why the Bengals are world series bound.

SAINT JOHN, N. 13., Sept. 24. - Bobby Allan, Westville, N.S., retaili- ed his Maritime welterweight cham- pionship here tnnlflht when he pounded out a. 10-round decision over Johnny Lifford. Saint, John. who holds the Maritime lightweight crown. Allan's harder hittinS 0V" Lhe last half of the route earned him the verdict by a decisive margin. Lifford gave the best exhibition of boxing he had ever shown here, but he lacked the punching ability to stay with the hard hitting Nova Scotian. In the first five rounds, LifIord held his opponent fairly even, but in the sixth, seventh. eighth and ninth, Allan had big edges. Lifford made a great come- back in the early part of the 10th round and had a shade the best of it, although he tired near the end. Allan carried a three round ad- vantage in weight, tipping the scales at 142 against 139 for the Saint John fighter.

Vanderbilt Wins Clean Cut Race

(By Andrew Merkel, Canadian Press Staff Writer) NEWPORT, R. 1., Sept. 24-Harold S. Vanderbilt won a cleancut victory over T. 0. M. Sopwiih today to make the score for the series, Rainbow three; Endeavour two. One more victory for the defender will mean retention by the New York Yacht Club of the America's Cup, continu- ously held on this side of the Atlantic for the past 83 years. Today's race was perhaps the most uninteresting from a spectators’ standpoint of the series to date. Conditions were ideal for the encounter, An offshore wind varying from 10 to 15 knots made for a smooth sea and enabled

Takes Early Mad

Rainbow seemed to drop Endeav- our consistently on the run down the wind to the first mark although actually the challenger was made to sail through at least a mile more water than was necessary for no apparent reason. This extra mile Just about represented the lead of four minutes, 49 seconds, established by Rainbow for the first half of the course. Endeavour de- feated Rainbow on the last; 15 miles of windward work by 39 seconds, but the margin, of course, merely reduced the lead piled up by Rain- bow on her worst point of sailing, dead before the wind-

Both yachts got away to an ex- cellent start. However, Sopwith was troubled early with an unruly spinnaker. The big sail fouled a jib stay, then tore as it was set.

Rainbow was prompt in setting the spinnaker she borrowed from Yankee and the big kite pulled her along like an express train for the greater part of the run to the outer mark. But because o! the weight of wind, or possibly a nick in the featherweight canvas. sustained when being broken out. a rent slid- denly appeared near the foot of the sail. 45 minutes after the start. Gradually it became larger and af- ter five minutes it was decided to take it in and set a spare.

The new spinnaker was set and drawing beautifully 11 minutes af- ter the accident to Rainbow’; canvas.

Failed to Take Advantage In the meantime Endeavour had come up and appeared to be on even terms with the defendu. Hut

But again the Brit-ish challenger suffered from infer- ior handling, as compared with the treatment accorded the slower defender by her expert skipper and crew.

tary gain. Possibly Mr. Sopwith did not wish to take Hdvantage of Rainbows misfortune. Vlfhatever the reason he lost the race at this point by heading his challenger away from the mark.

Both yachts had been carrying

their main sails to port on the run down to the leeward mark. But owing to a sight shift in the wind it now became necessary to jibe the main sails over to starboard in order to maintain a true course to the buoy. Jibing over the main sails, meant taking down the spin- nakers, in order to set them t0 port. Vanderbilt took advantage of the accident to his spinnaker to jibe over his main sail. By thus tum. lng his loss into a gain, he actual- ly lost very little time because of the accident to his big head-mil.

Sopwith should have duplicated the opcrzvion at the same time. In. stead he held on. working further to westward of his course. When he finally changed over, setting a small spinnaker as well as a Genoa, h! found himself a good half mile astem of the apparently rejuven- ated and certainly fleeing Rainbow.
