CAUGHT IN WASH

Algonac, Mich., Sept. 4.

Mr. Hubert Scott-Paine, the British challenger for the Harmsworth Trophy, to-day made a very gallant effort to prevent a two-straight victory for Commodore Gar Wood, but was beaten by twenty-two "seconds after a magnificent race.

The American boat, the Miss America X had very little to spare, and would probably have had less but for the fact that Miss England III was unable to avoid the Miss America's wash as the boats tore through the water at over eighty miles an hour.

Several times as a result of running into the violent wash, Mr. Scott-Paine's craft almost capsized, but he righted her by very skilful handling, although losing distance.

To-day's race was the second

of the three scheduled for the Harmsworth Trophy, but Com- modore Gar Wood having won the first two, the third will not) take place.
