YOUNGSTERS WHO SHONE
(By George M. R. HOLMES)
Ever since the United States and British professional golfers began playing for the Ryder Cup in 1926 the home forces had been the winners and so, when the Americans turned in an 8-to- 4 victory at Southport, they broke one of golf's traditions that no visiting team could win the trophy.
That they did win was not a very great surprise to either side as the United States was this year represented by one of the greatest teams of professional golfers ever assembled for one of those international matches. And it had to be a strong team as Britain also had a very good team representing it.
The next match for the cup will

ENDEAVOUR II
MAKES DISASTROUS EARLY START TO RACE
AMERICAN DEFENDER SETS TWO NEW
RECORDS
Newport, Rhode Island, To-day.
The United States yesterday retained the world famous America's Cup when Ranger, Mr. Harold. S. Vanderbilt's defending sloop, beat Mr. T. O. M. Sopwith's Endeavour II for the fourth successive time in the present series, establishing a new record for the triangular course in beating Endeavour I's 1934 time of 3 hours, 9 mins. 1 sec. by 1 min. 12 secs. and also establishing a new unofficial record of 1 hour, 17 mins. 55 secs. for the windward leg, beat- ing Endeavour I's 1934 mark of 1 hour, 18 mins. 19
secs.
A FALSE START RESULTED IN DISASTER FOR THE BRI- TISH CHALLENGER. THERE WAS A 15 MILE AN HOUR WIND BLOWING AT THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE RACE WHICH WAS PROBABLY IN ENDEAVOUR'S FAVOUR, BUT THE LATTER'S HOPES OF WINNING THE RACE PRACTICAL- LY FADED WHEN SHE CROSSED THE STARTING LINE TY EARLY AND HAD TO RESTART, THE RANGER GAINING A VALUABLE LEAD ON THE FIRST LEG OF THE 30 MILES TRIANGULAR COURSE, BOTH SLOOPS CARRYING MAIN- SAILS, STAYSAILS AND QUADRILATERAL JIBS..

Ranger led by 1 min, 15 secs. at the start of the windward leg. The Endeavour indulged in a tacking match hoping to gain valuable se- conds by smarter handling of her headsails and getting a clear wind, but the Ranger retaliated with simi- lar tactics and continued to pull away, and rounded the first buoy half a mile ahead in the unofficial time of 1 hour, 17 mins 55 secs., beating Endeavour.
