RANK MUTINY WON A BOAT RACE,
SO HERE'S TO YOU, COMMODORE
Dora II Had a Thrilling Voyage and the Crew Had a
Couple of Mutinies at Every Bell Charmion
Ran Into Rough Seas on Voyage
"Why certainly I can tell you the whys
and wherefores of the Dora It's victory In
tho Baltimore to Camden motorboat race
recently." remarked Comiriodore Wnlber.
of the Rlvorslde Yacht Club, who was
aboard the winner. "It was mutiny, and
the worst sort of mutiny."
"Mutiny?" asked an astonished by
stander. "How In the world did It de
velop?" "Bitter than I expected. The crew
beeatno disgruntled because I had Is
sued an order before getting underway
In the race at Baltimore that liquid re
freshments ware not to be lntulffed In,
under pain of keel-hauling, unless It was
eight bells (corresponding to four hours'
time ashore). Well, believe me or not,
some of those fellows stole the clock. A
few minutes later the timepiece was toll
ing eight bells In as many minutes, I
saw only one way oitt of the predicament.
I was determined to have the whole
blooming piratical crew shot before sun
rise, and told them so.
'"'Would' you believe me," continued the
Commodore, "that this threat had no
other effect than for them to urge mo to
uo rny worst, wnai was tne ultimate re
sult? Just what I threatened. The whole
party was first half-shot and then the
run oose meted out.
"Here'a mutiny in Its rankest form:
"Two parts o( whisky (Imported red eye
preferred).
"One part of sherry (any klnd'll do).
"Six hen's eggs (quuilty not essential).
"SIX oranges iCanadlan variety).
"Six lomOns (same way).
"X Ter In Die- Mix well 'before ad
ministering. (Ask your doctor.)
Old you ask about taste? Well, from
reports, at least three days. ,
One of the Delaware boatmen made
the following remark during the running
of the Daltlmyre-t. Camden race: "So
you sight a storm, mate, eh? Well, we
should kick a blbble. Bring out plenty
of XX stuff, and let's die happy. Bat
ten down all hatches. Bee that all the
lifeboats ore swung outboard. We're not
afraid. Hey, you there! See that the
Ilfebolts are also brought from under the
locker. We're not scared to death yet,
are we?"
Members of the crew of the Charmion
are of the belief If they had not en
countered such a pevere blow In the Bal-tlmore-to-Comden
event they would now
be boasting of a new record for the
course. Conditions were wretched for
speeding, from all accounts.
In the heavy seas It was difficult at
one time to make anything llko average.
The Fivaway. of Now York, established
the record of 23 hours and CO minutes for
the run, whU the Charmion anchored
here exactly 27 hours IS minutes after
getting underway at Baltimore.
In the cabin of the Charmion during the
race were the following officers: Captain

In this cty at preserlt Is ope' of the
greatest, of all the Honolulu Island ath

of the Chinese baseball team which will
oppose the Strawbrldge & Clothier nine
next Saturday.
On the visiting ball team Captain Lal
plnys all around. He will line up at third
tiasc. There are few persons who have
seen this human streak In action In a
ball game who know that officially he
holds wonderful sprint records, all ac
cepted by the Amateur Athletic Union.
Oil tho Island, as he reverently sbeaks
of Honolulu, he holds the record of 10
seconds flat for the 100-yard dash, and
has a performance In the SO yards which
would maktt many of America's champion
sprinters envious. He has traveled that
dlstanco In world's record time of 5 :-S
seconds. The watches are correct, for
seven timekeepers are reaulred when a
championship race Is run there. Lal has
Jumped 22 feet 6 Inches In the running
broad Jump, and .he has medals for hur
dling and other track and Held contests.
Nor are theso all' the qualifications or
the grea,t athlete. He haa a great rec

can swim like a nsn.
He Was tntered In the Far East Olym

he preferred to go to the Panama-Paclrto

YELPING BRAVES FACE
"ALEX" AGAIN TODAY IN
FINAL GAME OF SERIES
Moran's Men on Edge to Make
It Clean Sweep From Bunch
of "Riders" From Up
Beantown Way
RUDOLPH MAY TRY AGAIN
Champs, With Thoir Rough Stuff,
Up Against "Mnko, of Break"
Proposition
Unless tha dope goes awry there Is
polng to be plenty of excitement at the
final game of the Beason with the Braves
this afternoon. A victory, for tho Phillies
would almost put the Braves out of tho
race unless that team has by far more
of a punch left than nny one suspects.
A victory would do much toward restor
ing the confidence of tho champions.
If the Phillies win It will not only mean
that Moraij's men hoyo pj-rformed the
unusual feat of winning three straight
from tho champions, but it will also give
the Phillies the season's series with the
Braves, nlthough four games remain to
bo played in Boston. It will be tho first
scrleH won by the Phillies nnd the first
that the Brov.es have lost since 1014, when
they lost thorn all ,
Tho Braves wl(! die hard and there
will be plenty of thrills for the specta
tors beforo tho nine Innings ajre over.
StatllngS team, with Its Infamous "rid
ing" tactics, will try to break the Spirit
pf the Phillies, and llfo will be miserable
for Moran'a men and the umpires this
afternoon.
Alexander the Great 'will go back to the
pitching hilt for the Phillies to aid In the
wrecking of the Braves' hopes. It Is cer
tain that he will have to. atnrt working
out of turn soon unless the rest of the
pitchers go so welt (hat the Phils can
shake off their pursuers, and as he, worked
on Friday and has had but two days'
rest, his work will be watched with In
terest today.
Manager Stalling; has not decided who
will be sent to the mound for the Braves,
but chances favor Dick Rudolph coming
back for revenge for the defeat in the
opening game, of the season. Rudolph has
had but mtle success against the Phillies J
tnis season, mainiy oecause ne nag oeop
sent agalnpt Alexander tho Qreat tn nl
mo&t every game.
George Tyler, who has beaten tha Phil
lies twce this sesson, is second choice for
mound duty for the Braves. The tw.o vic
tories of Tyler -olll not bother the Phil
lies much, aa Hughes.olso boasted of two
wins over the league leaders and was
treated roughly on .Saturday.
DANKSTON AND HEALY GONE

As, she did last year, Philadelphia may
save the East from a complete roUt on
the lawn tennis courts Ih the" national
championships for 1915. It. Norris Will
lams. Id. ot the Philadelphia Cricket
i Club, waa the man who stepped Into the
j breach at Newport In 1014 and captured
the slnalee title, and It Is upon his Shoul
ders that the Eaet nealn Ihruata tho bur.
I den ot defense, this time at Forest Hills,
!L. I.
There Is a roeelblllty that Karl Behr or
' Oeorge Church may be called on at the
last moment to derend this section of the
, country against (he Western Invasion,
nnd either of them would no doubt make
a gallant stand, although neither Is aa
nopvnunDie ns Williams.
Should McLoughlln nnd Williams be
drawn In the same frame at Forest Hills
one of them would necessarily be elimi
nated before the final round, and this
would shift the responsibility for main
taining Eastern honors to some plnyer In
the opposite frame.
Already the West has won the doubles
rhamplonshlp. In splto of the fact that
Iho evo.it has not been played. In the sec
tional doubles completed Saturday on the
couHe of On turn tin, Chicago, Clarence
Grimn and Wllllnm M Johnston, both
of California, won the Western title and
with it the right to challenge Tom Bundy
and Xlaurlee McLoughlln for the national
crown.
This match will be played at Forest
llllls, while tho national singles, which
begin August 30, are In progress. It lp,
therefore, ovidpnt that the best Iho East
can ,do this year Is to get an even break
with the West, and Judging the field on
the performances of this season, the
chances strongly favor a clean siVeep for
the Westerners.
White no one can deny tha' the odds
favor tho West for the singles title this
year, the tournaments Just 'completed In
Chicago, where George M. Church, of
Prlncoton. won the Western singles title,
and at Scabrlght, N. J., where Behr de
feated McLoughlln only -to lose to Will
iams in tho challenge round.- there Is an
Increasing belief among tennis fans that
this section may trliimph.
The West will be represented at F6rest
Hills by n sextet of players, all of whom
rank near the pinnacle of tennlsdom.
They are Maurice n McLoughlln, Thomas
C ilundy. J it. Straehon, William M.
Johnson. R. Lin Murray nnd Clarence

' A number of tennis experts who saw
the McLoughlln-Behr and the 8chr-Wlll
lams matches at Benbrljbt believe that If
l llllams had been forced to play througtl
the tournament us Behr was there would
have been a different etpry to tell of the
latter match Behr was visibly affected In
his match with Williams by the strenu
ous work he had done the day before In
beating MeLoushlln three straight Sets.
Had Behr been able to have another day's
rest he probably would, have carried hie
match with Williams ro live sots, If he
hnrt not defeated hlnl.
When all of these players meet at
ForeH Hills conditions will be fairer than
they ere at Senbrlght, because the
national singles rules now compel ill

Karl Bohr may be placed In the ranks
of the true "comebacks." Behr wb sup.

he represented the L'nlted States In tfo
Davis Cup matches against the Austra
lasian pair, Anthony F. Wilding and Nor

Behr ever played In the D.ivs Cup
