Endeavour Faster Boat, But Am-
ateur Crew Fails To Match Pro-

_ ,`(By_ Andrew Merkel, Canadian Press Staff Writer) _
` (C. P. By Guardianls Special Wire)
_ NEWPORT, R. I., Sept. 25-Rainbow led 'Endeavour
over the finish line today in a tip-toe climax to the Am-
erica’s Cup series for 1934 and thereby successfully com-
pleted her defence of the trophy for the New York Yacht
Club.
T. 0, M. Sopwith, owner and skipper of the Royal
,Yacht Squadron’s challenger, announced shortly after
' coming ashore, that having been fairly beaten in a race in
which he had won the start, he had decided to withdraw
his protest signalled, he added, for a similar breach of the
rule 'he believed Rainbow committed Saturday. _
He further announced he would not challenge again.
Today’s contest was a repetition of the preceding
three. A faster boat was beaten by a definitely slower boat
expertly handled.

` The race was sailed in a 10 to 12
knot off-shore breeze from the
northeast over s triangular course
embracing a. broad reach of 10
miles, and because of A shift in the

Sopwlth kept %lbmg about under

2,1-2 minutes to go, he finally
jibed to port and stood for the line-
Rainbow immediately jibed and
stood dovm towards Endeavour
with started sheets. Sopwith was
seen to bear away, and then hard-
ening his sheets, shoot ahead of
the defender to lead her over the
line by 50 seconds.
Both yachts immediately broke
out Genoa ,Ilbs and bore away on
a broad reach for the first mark.
Endeavour soon bega.n to drop
Rainbow on the latter's best point
'of sailing. Vanderbilt, in an effort
to at least hold the fast reaching
challenger, set a spinnaker in ad-
dition to his genoa, but the com-
bination did not help.

“Montreal Player Ad-

Running.
(By Edwin S. Johnson. Canadian
Press Staff Writer) -
(C. P. By Gnsrdialvs Special Wire)
SCARBCl`R.O GOLF CLUB, Tor-
onto, .Sept. 25-Proficiency and
gameness, essential prerequhites of
winner-` and loser alike in all lines
of sport, were brollrht out i.n bold
relief in today’s first round play
of the Canadian Womens close golf
championship.
Throbbing. uphill battles pre-
dominated in most of the matches.
but none showed greater gameness
[ns .-
treai, whose big heart carried her
over the final holes, despite a. badly
wrenched ankle, to score a victory
on the 10th green against MIS. G-
Stanloy, Toronto.
The accident occurred as the
Montreal star was leaving the 17th
tee along a. down-hill path. She
twisted her foot so badly that the
pain forced her to take “time-out."
Almost unable to walk she then
offered to concede the match to.
her opponent, but the latter return-
ed the gesture by asking to be al-
lowed to withdraw.
Rested, Mrs. Darling decided to
put her ankle to a test and sent her
second straight for the pin. The
shot assured her cf the lead as she
won the hole when Mrs. Stanley
missed a 10-footer.. 'I‘hey had been
all square when the Montreal play-
er was injured.
Mrs. Darling then hobbled
through the last hole and by sheer
grit managed to get her shots away
without a pivot and halved the,
hole for a gallant victory. The in-
jured member responded to treat-
ment tonight.
Three other members of the qual-
ifying brigade of five Montreal
stars also advanced to the nent
birackeits. Yolanda Moismm, run-
ner'-up for the Quebec Junior title
three years ago and winner of the
net score prize yesterday, was the
lone casualty. She was unable to
match the experience of li/lka. G.
Jackson of Victoria, who won 5 and
5.
Margery Kirkl-iam winner of the
'title in 1930 and runner-wp last
‘ year sent Mrs. B. P. Pellenz of Win.-
nipeg out of the running by a count
of 5 and 4. Mrs. H. W. Soper ac-
counted for Miss Helen Reid oi
Toronto, 4 and 3, while lvlrs, J. Da-
gemais completed the successful
march of the Quebec province stars
by defeating Mrs. E. Phillips, ano-
ther Torcn-tonian.
Miss Ada Mackenzie, defending-
champdon of Toronto. was among
those who failed to duplicate their
feats in the dense fog, but she was
sufficiently consistent and deadly
when out to the test to vanquish
'Miss K. Farrell, Vancouver by a 5
and 4 verdict.
Tomorrow che survivors will face
a grueliling test, with the second
round in the morning and these
who make the grade advancing to
the quarter finals in the aftemoon.

NEW YORK. Séllt. 24 - Colonel
Bill Tierry, mastermind and first

(By Alan Gould, Associated Press
Sports Editor)
NEW YORK, Sept. 25-The T18'
ers haven't seen anything yet. They
have the American League pennant'
all to themselves but they may as
well make the most of lt. after 25
years of waiting, for it will be a.
banner of another color when they
go into action a week from tomor-
row against the flag-beaner of the
National League. By comparison
to tackling either New York Giants
or St. Louis Cardinals. Mickey
Cochrane’s battling bengals will
think their pennant victory was
just a breeze over a. windward-1ee-
ward course.
National Tolilher League
Ilt is talking nothing whatever
away from the sensational exploits
of the Detroit club, or its all-
around class, to say that the bal-
ance of power nc longer rests with
the American Ioague. It may not
have swung altogether the other
way, either, but the fact is that the
current American League cham-
Ipions hy no means measure up to
the stature of the fearsome Yank-
ea of brighter Ruthlan days or the
powerhouse Athletics of 1923-31.
The Tigers have power, speed,
splendid leadership and a. Pitching
jewel in "Schoolboy" Rowe but
they do not quite dominate the,
current picture the way some oi ‘
their predecessors have done.
"Sitting Pretty”
No doubt the dynamic Cochrane,
will take adequate measures to
avoid any tendency toward over-
confidence on his outfit, a tempta-
tion which mlght spring from the
fact that the Tigers are now “sit-,
ting pretty" while their prospec-
tive _rivals are struggling tooth-
,and-nail down the National League
stretch.
I Miokey‘s last appearance in a
World Series, in 1931, was not cal-
culated to make him under-estim-
atc the strength of the National
League. It will be recalled that
‘Cochrane was something oi' a vic-
tim cf the "wild horse of the
Osage"-Pepper Martin-as the
Cardinals took the measure of the
Athletics that year. Martin is in
the thick of the present St. Louis

BY Bhd lame. pitching is the one
big factor that has given the Na-

Neither the Tigers nor any other

Carl Hubbell, Hal Schumacher,
Roy Parmalee and Fred Fltzsim-

them is the Dean brothers of St.

where the Tigers look they are lik-

year.
TIGERS WELCOMED
DETROIT, Sept. 25.-(A.l°.)-E`la-
ted by its first pennant in 25 years,
the city tonight paid formal and of-
ficial homage to Detroit Tigers, new-
ly crowned champions of the Amer-
ican League.
The city, through a resolution
passed by the City Council tendered
its congratulations to Frank J. Na-
vin, President of the club, and Mic-
key Cochrane, who in his first year
as a manager, brought Detroit a
pennant winner.
Plans were being completed for a.
huge testimonial banquet Saturday
night at which 1,000 fans will show-
er gifts on each member of the
squad ranging from a diamond “Tig-
er” ring to a tailors' suit of clothes.
The Tigers were in Lansing for
an exhibition game, and the state’s
capital declared a public holiday to
welcome the champions.
Manager Cochrane, deluged by
congratulatory messages, reiterated
his opinion that the Tigers won the
flag because "we stuck to our sys-
tem of playing for a big opening in
one inning and cleaning up."

Automatically Takes Race
His withdrawal of the second
charge of foul he had made in the
series automatically removed the
necessity for hearings the race
committee had ordered tonight af-
ter Harold S. Vanderbilt broke out
the red flag of protest and Sop-
with followed suit a few minutes
after another sparring match at
todays starting line. Since Vander-
bilt won the race anyway, there
would scarcely bs any sense to
awarding it to him a second time
on a foul even if he could provc
his ease.
Thus ended an international
sporting incident thatstarted here
10 days ago in beautiful accord,
ran into one bump after another,
and reached its first climax when
the race committee refused to hear
Sopwith's protest of R.alnbow's vic-
tory Saturday.
The Englishmsn claimed Van-
derbilt twics almost ran him down,
and that hs had to relinquish his
rights to the right-of-way contrary
to the rules or else play a feature
role in two "serious collisions." The
race committee. without consider-
ing the validity of the protests,
tossed out the claim on the grounds
that Sopwith hadn't flown his pro-
test flag soon enough.
Since then all semblance of in-
temstlonal amity has been lost
though the beautiful sloops kept
up a brilliant duel in which Van-
derbllt's sibei-lor handling just did
edge out Sopwith’s admittedly
swifter Endeavour, handicapped by
the sail bimgling of an amateur
crew and the none too clever pilot-
ing of the invading skipper him-
self.
Ths bottom fell out entirely when
Sopwith managed to get the best
start he has made, beating Vander-
bile over the line by almost s min-
ute, but only after engaging in an-
other touch and go iockeying
match out of which both came
claiming foul. They never were
close enough to get in trouble
thereafter. But Vanderbilt made up
a large deficit on the first lag of
the 30-mile triangle with smarter
sailing on the second leg-
As the final blow. Endeavour's
big Annie Oakley sail got stuck half
way up the hslyards starting the
broad roach home and it took
'1 1-2 minutes to set the sail. The

the way home in s magnificent,

(By Edward J. Neil, Associated Press Sports Writer) _
(A. P. By Gllsrdisn'| Special Wire)
NEWPORT, B. 1., Sept. 25-Brl¢ain’| newest and perhaps moot
gallant bid for the famed America/s Cup ended di-ably tonight for from
challenger Endeavour and the snow
bravely through six docs.
Sopwith, so bitter he said he never again would challenge for the
battered old mug, withdrew his protect of R.ainbow’s 55-second victory
today-fourth straight for the defender after the blue-bolt Endeavour
had won two races at thc start of the series, equalling the best showing
any Invader ever made in all the 83-year history of the international
 
short.
There was no questioning Bop-
with’s bitterness as he explained his
withdrawal of the protest tonight.
"I protested for the same reason
I did Saturday," he said, "on the
grounds that, Vanderbilt refused to
give way before the start when I
had the right-of-way .under the
rules.
“But having won the start, and
having lost the race fairly, I de-
cided not to go ahead with my pro-
test. Furthermore, I definitely will
not challenge for the cup again."
Vanderbilt had nothing to say,
and since hs was not called upon
to fyle a written protest, hh
grounds for a foul claim wen not
known.
Bopwith had his opinion of this
however.
"He knew I had grounds f
protest," hs said, "and so hs
ticipated my flag and got his
first."
Sopwith said limdcavour would
start back to England in dlout I
week, sailing part of the way under
her own canvas if the woathsr
permitted; in tow of his yacht
Vita if it dldn't. Hs expects to sail
for home from New York as soon
as possible. Charles Nicholson. da-
signer of the challenger, left for
New York immedlatdy.
If Sopwith sticks to his decision
not to challenge again, the stately
Endeavour and Rainbow, bult al
a cost of close- to $2,500,000, prob-
ably have seen their last inten-
natlonal competition.
Endeavcurs showing, in the
opinion of the experts, was the
greatest ever made by any chal-
lenger. She outsailed Rainbow com-
pletely in the first two official
matches after the first test failed
of completion within. the 5%-hour
time limit. Sail bungling cost hor
a third victory today, and several
miles oi' sea water in her three
other defeats. '
The series set many records. En-
deavour broke the cup record for
a. 80-mile triangular course when
she sailed to her second victory s
week ago today in three hours. nine
minutes, one second. On the some
day she broke ths cup mark for s
10-mile beat to windward by sail-
ing that leg in 1:18:19. Rainbow
had set a new cup record for a 15-
mile beat to windward the day be-
fore in 2:04:09.
