It was no mistake in seamanship on the part of the. British skipper, Mr. T. O. M. Sopwith. He missed the wind at a critical moment and the defender kept the breeze. Then, because of her inability to sail close to the course, the Endeavour lost valuable time and dis-. tance by short tacks on the run home...

It was announced after the race that there would be no contest to-day, Mr. Sopwith having asked for postponement to effect repairs to the winches which set the big Genoa jib.

New York, Sept. 20.

Police announced to-day in terse, informal English that "the Lindbergh case has cracked." The mystery of the kidnapping and murder of the Lindbergh baby was about to be probed, following the arrest of Bernard Richard Hauptmann, they declared.

Hauptmann is charged with having received the $50,000 ransom paid by Colonel Charles Lindbergh, through intermediaries. The money was wrapped in small packages, of fifty-dollar bills, and tossed over a cemetery wall by Dr. John F. Condon in the hope that the baby would be restored.

A large portion of this "marked" ranaom money was found in the Tientsin, Sept. 21.
