AMERICA RETAINS THE
YACHT TROPHY
British Owner's Protest
Withdrawn
Newport, Sept. 25. Mr. T. 0. M. Sopwith has with- drawn his protest in the sixth
that Cup race. This means America wins the Cup. It is be- "Heved that the protest was made on the grounds that the Rainbow, when overtaking the Endeavour, failed to keep clear, and baulked the challengar.
It is also alleged that the Rain- bowhatsted her protest flag. though it was up to the Endeavour to do so. By such an action the Rainbow anticipated the Eridea- your's protest.
The Endeavour put up one of the greatest fights in history and acquitted herself nobly on the first and last legs of the race to-day Bryter.

THE INTERPORT
Two-day Trial Match
By "L. B. W."
The fourteen players who have been invited to make the trip to Shanghai for the cricket interport were seen at practice on the Club ground yesterday when six bats- quarter men were given about a of an hour's practice each.
The first pair to bat were T. E. Pearce and Norman Mackay but
neither of them were impresssive against Minu and Pereira Pearce was caught by Owen Hughes in the sips off the left pander while Mackay was definitely uncomfort- able against the speed merchant. Baines and Williams were the next pair but they too failed to produce anything like Interport form.
Madar and Owen Hughes were unfortunate in that they had to bat in very bad light, a large cloud of smoke blowing over the ground from the Naval Yard making bat- ting conditions far from ideal.
Two teams have been selected over the for the two-day match
