TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3, 1Q14. TWO OF AMERICA'S RACING YACHTS WHICH WILL VIE FOR HONOR OF DEFENDING CUP AGAINST LIPTON CHALLENGER. MUNICIPAL SHOP IS GALLED FAILURE CUP DEFENSE TRIAL ose Festival Oregonians Resolute Finishes First of Lack of Co-operation in Han dling of Autos One Reason Given at Meeting.

Thrills Enough, However. ItYE, N. Y., June 2. Heeled under a stiff northwest breeze until even her bronzed underbody glistened in the sunlight like burnished gold, Alexan der S. Cochran's Vanltie flashed across the line a winner over the Resolute by 16 minutes, 48 seconds, in the first race for the America's cup defense candidates' yachts on Long Island Sound today. Although the official time allowance given the Resolute by the Vanitie is known only to the cup committee, it Is estimated that the Resolute is In receipt of approximately three minutes, 85 seconds' time allowance, so that the approximate corrected time advantage of the winner over the loser was close to 13 minutes, 13 seconds. ' Yachting experts were not inclined to concede a repetition of this victory of the Gardner designed sloop over the Herreshoff creation, for the 29-mile race over a triangular course was sailed under extremely fluky weather conditions and the adherents of the flag officer's yacht are confident that tomorrow's race will be another story. Duel Filled With Thrills. The meeting of the Resolute and Vanitie in the initial contest of the year drew yachtsmen from all parts of the eastern coast, and, although the third candidate the Defiance was unable to start as originally Intended, the duel between the Herreshoff and Gardner sloops wae one that thrilled. Thousands followed the yachts twice round the triangle in steam yachts, ailing craft and excursion steamers. The spectators saw two of the three aingle stickers, built for the purpose of defending the America's cup against Sir Thomas Lipton's challenger Sham rockTlV, tried under fluctuating weather conditions. The breeze ran the gamut from a puffy little air to a stiff blow that heeled the 75-footers over until their keels were visible. And when the fleet of private yachts and excursion boats headed away from the finish line, it was the consensus of opinion that two worthy defending candidates had demonstrated their prowess, with still another yet to show Its speed. Conse quently the reputed wizard-like skill of Designer Nicholson, of the Sham rock, did not appear so fearsome as heretofore. Calculations Are Upset. The course as laid out was a tri angular one that called for a close fetch, a beat and a broad reach, but the fluky weather conditions upset these calculations to some extent. At the wheel of the Resolute was Charles Francis Adams II, while aboard were Robert W. Emmons H, the man ager of the syndicate; George E. Nichols, John Parkinson, George A. Cormack, Nat Herreshoff and Asa W. Hathaway, head sailmakers for the Herreshoffs. : At the wheel of the Vanitie stood Captain William S. Dennis, with Fred erick M. Hoit and Frederick M. Davies as his board of strategy. With a six mile wind coming out of the northwest. Captain Adams held a slight advan tage on the final move and crossed the starting line at 12:46:12, while the Vanitie followed 34 seconds later. Shortly after the cup defense candi dates got away the wind freshened to a ten-mile breeze. As they luffed around the first mark the Herreshoff model was leading by about a minute and a half. The sec ond leg resolved itself Into a series of tacks. Wind Gradually Drops. The yachts found the wind stronger and both sloops replaced Jib topsails with reaching Jibs. Under the new sail- the Vanitie picked up and in a luffing match gained rapidly on the Resolute. The Vanitie followed this success by breaking out a big balloon jib topsail and drew up on the Reso lute until less than 100 yards sepa rated the sloops. As they swung around the buoy for the second round of the course the wind was gradually dropping and soon the yachts with sails barely filled were -irtually becalmed. In the faint breeze the Vanitie appeared to slip through the water like a mermaid and Boon she had passed her rival. The Vanitie turned the buoy fully a mile In the lead and with club topsail. Jib and Jib topsail flat as boards, fairly skimmed over the water, her lee rail almost awash and the bronze hull flashing like gold in the final reach for the finish line. ' So fast did the Gardner craft sail that she was more than three miles ahead of the Resolute when she finally turned the second mark.

The University of Illinois track team is looked upon by Coach Stagg, of Chicago, as the most likely winner in the "big nine" con ference meet here Saturday. The Chi cago coach spent today watching the practice of , the athletes who have reached here, Leland Stanford and the universities of Colorado and California. Illinois, it was' said, would be a suffi ciently strong contender in nearly every event to insure its piling up a good number of points. The University of California will suffer a severe loss in the disability of its sprinter, Stanton, who injured his ankle at Cambridge Saturday. He ap peared on crutches today and will not be able to compete. Cline, of Colorado, ran a quarter In 49 seconds In practice today. CREW TO LEAVE SATURDAY Washington Faculty Approves Trip to Poughkeepsle Regatta. SEATTLE. June 2. The faculty of the University of Washington, in a spe cial meeting today, gave permission for the Washington eight-oared vareity crew to leave Saturday for the Pough keepsle regatta to be held on the Hud son June 26. In giving permission the faculty de J - , : r yxr?. ' V cided that after this trip no Washing ton crew will be permitted to go East until 1917, giving as a reason that the expense of the trip across the con tinent and the strain on the students who campaign among the business men of the city for funds are too great to be borne annually.

I mm II ' i I -TX "KNOCKING," TOO, ALLEGED City Employes "Have Cars Repaired Elsewhere, Is Cltarge Abolition of Shop and Requisition Plan Among Remedies Snggested. Lack of co-operation between 'the various city departments in handling city automobiles and trucks may result in the abolition of the city shop as a financial failure. At a meeting of the City Commission yesterday the proposi tion was considered and an investiga tion will be made, it was reported. Lack of co-operation, violation of the rules of the shop and "knocking" are given by Purchasing Agent Wood and Commissioner Bigelow, in charge of the shop, as the reasons they say it has failed to be the success it was expected when established about nine months ago. Although the municipal shop on the East Side was designed to house and repair all the city's machines and to take care of the general repair work of the city, it is said 60 per cent of the automobile work is now sent to outside shops. ' Expesscs Considered Too High. The shop has maintained a large working force and with only about 40 per cent of. the city's work to perform is unable to keep the overhead ex pense down to what is considered a reasonable figure. It is said the over head expense at present is about 30 per cent. This, added to the cost of the repair of an automobile, is said to make the cost of such repairs high. Rent also is paid on the building. Purchasing Agent Wood and Com missioner Bigelow say there are two ways of adjusting the proposition. One is to abolish the shop altogether and the other Is to require all machines kept there and repaired there. They say the latter way is the economical course and should be followed, but cannot as long as there is a lack of co-operation between the departments. It also is alleged many drivers of city machines "knock" the shop and thereby create a bad impression and discourage the workmen. This should be abolished also. Commissioner Bige low says. Requlnltfon Plan Sn'srseated, Commissioner Brewster suggested at yesterday's meeting that all city ma chines be grouped an1 taken away from all persons In the city service and let out only on requisition. If a roan in the engineering department needed a machine for a certain length of time he could make out a requisition, get it signed by the proper official and send for the car. It is Mr. Brewster's plan to have drivers for the cars and to discontinue the practice of allowing employes to drive machines. It is reported to be the Intention either to abolish the shop or to re establish it on a satisfactory basis before the city's lease on the building expires in August. Cooling the Sport Tortillas JOE M'GINNITY has not embossed his spike initials into an umpire's hide for nearly two weeks, thus prov ing that baseball is becoming more re fined every day. This from the "mill" of J. P. Mc Evoy, of the Chicago Record-Herald: Ouimet's zee champee-on , of France, And fits it to a "tee." "Ouimet," Ouimet!" the Frenchmen cry, "And Ouimet sorrow, oul!" The third International opium con ference has been called for June .15. Now let the delegates hop to it. Capablanca, the Cuban chess cham pion, must be a second cousin to the California fight promoters who keep Murphy and Cross bobbing up and down the Pacific Coast as "champion ship contenders." Why not bring Mc Farland and Britton west of the Rock ies for a change? . ' Here's an Eastern writer's sub rosa reasons for Joe Tinker's release at Cincinnati: Tinker's misfortunes began with a banquet he gave to the directors of the cluD two or three nights after he was picked for manager. Wishing to feed his guests in special style, Joe had a tiny sucking pig prepared as main course for each banqueter. The feast was given on a Friday night, and of the 13 guests who appeared that Fri day evening 10 were Hebrews and the remainder Catholics. - Charley White, the lad who beat Ritchie a few nights ago at Milwaukee, is not an Irishman. His real name is Charley Anchowitz and he was born In 1891. A wrist watch would have availed little on the Empress of Ireland as few of the women passengers were saved. The Federal League ought to be glad that Roosevelt has gone abroad. It stands much better show at the front page now. Tennis Committee Named. NEW YORK, June 2.

Interesting reminiscences of former days in this city were given by Judge Henry E. McGinn at a concert held un der the auspices of the Parent-Teacher Association of Shattuck School last night at Lincoln High School audito rium. Judge McGinn was on the programme to deliver an Informal address on the topic, "A Tribute to Judge Shattuck," for whom Shattuck School is named "1 remember attending the old Harrison-street school, now the Shattuck School, In the year 1866," said Judge McGinn. "Judge Shattuck was pro fessor of ancient languages in Pacific University, Forest Grove, and one of his pupils was Harvey "W. Scott. It was Judge Shattuck who brought together Henry L. Pittock and H. W. Scott. "Judge Shattuck was then writing editorials for The Oregonlan, but was pressed for time. When he was busy writing editorials his work on the ju dicial bench suffered, and vice versa. Harvcr Scotfa Career IIpstuh. "He brought Mr. Scott, as "one of his boys" at Pacific University, to Mr. Pittock, and thus was begun that won derful newspaper career of Harvey W. Scott, a career in which he grew to be one of the great newspaper writers of the United States, equal to Greeley, Bennett and one or two more. I am asked to give a tribute to Judge Shat tuck, my old teacher, and I will give It in 'one verse which you will find In the 16th chapter of St. Luke: " He that is faithful In that which Is least, is faithful also in much.1 "Take that home with you. Judge Shattuck was liked by Republicans and Democrats. He changed politics at wilL Everybody liked him and he liked everybody. But the best work Judge Shattuck did was that of a teacher. The best work done in the world is the training of the young mind. In this Judge Shattuck excelled." Judge McGinn closed with an appeal that self-reliance be taught the young. The concert was one of high-class excellence and was managed by Miss Dagmar Inez Kelly. Mrs. Pauline Mil ler Chapman showed a beautifully de veloped soprano voice in Danza's "Girls of Saville" and Cadman's "Land of Sky Blue "Water." Mrs. Chapman is an admirable singer and should sing oftener at public concerts. John Claire Montelta DrllichtM. John Claire Monteith sang with ex quisite sentiment "Ask Nothing More of Me, Sweet" and for an encore a rol licking rendition of "Mandalay." Paul Wesslnger was not able to be present on account of Illness. Miss Nona Lawler sang with grace and charming appeal Arditi's "Parla." It Is some little time since Miss Dag mar Inez Kelly sang in public and in the interval she has vocally improved to a surprising degree. She has a mezzo soprano voice of marked beauty, one of the best in Oregon. Stuart McGuire sang with skill one of Homer's songs. Others who took part in the rendition of the fine programme were: Miss Marie Chapman, Miss Josephine Wag ner, Miss Ruth Bromberg, Webber's Juvenile Orchestra and Alfred Keller. - The audience was a large, enthusias tic one. The committee was not able last night to arrive at an estimate of the proceeds for the school social fund. 26 SENIORS BANQUETED Oregon 'University Medical Alumni Select Dr. Tamiesie as Head.- The 26 members of the senior class of the Medical Department of the Uni versity of Oregon were the guests of honor at a banquet tendered by the alumni association at the Multnomah Hotel last night.

ANTI-TRUST LAW AWAITED Bankers of Country Have Anticipat ed Present Conditions and Have Adopted Conservatism, Says Frederick. E. Farnsworth. That there is plenty of money In the country, but that a return to nor mal business conditions may not be expected until the country knows what sort of an anti-trust law will be passed and until the railroads have been granted the proposed 5 per cent in crease in freight rates, is the opinion of Frederick E. Farnsworth, general secretary of the American Bankers' Association, who registered at the Ben son from New York Monday. "Bankers have anticipated the pres ent state of affairs," said Mr. Farns worth. "and have settled down to a safe and conservative operating basis. They are doing all they can to Insure the success of the new currency act. The law aa passed Is about 75 per cent good. "We should have had one central bank, with 15 or 20 branches," con tinued Mr. Farnsworth, "which would allow a centralizing of reserve at Washington, to be drawn upon in times of stress for seasonal or sectional needs. The main criticism of the new law is that it has too many reserve centers." Mr. Farnsworth said, however, that he did not want to be understood as complaining, because the: bankers are going to do all they can to help make the system meet the needs of the coun try and the Federal Reserve Board is really a central bank, because of its extensive administrative powers. Mr. Farnsworth is on a tour of the West, on which ha will attend seven state bankers' conventions. "ith him are Frank 13. Brundage, assistant man ager of Knauth, Nachod & Kuhne. and W. E.
