NEWPORT, R. I., Sept, 23—T. O. M. Sopwith‘s protest of Rainbow’s sailing in Saturday’s race was disallowed by the America’s Cup race committee tonight and the series stands Endeavour two, Rainbow two.

Ignoring the question of the fouls Sopwith alleged had

Instead of giving way to the luff, as the rules call for inasmuch as Sopwith still was leading, Vander- bilt seemed to hold Rainbow straight on the course he had chosen and for a moment there ivas the danger of a collision.

NEW YORK, Sept. Zil-Carl Owen Hubboll, lanky "screwball" aztlst of tlhe world champion Gian-is, measures his words just as he measures opposing batsmen.

"The Tigers are going to be hard to beal>—harder than Washington Senators were," he says. "Detroit's a hustling, well balanced bclll club"

Cool and calculating,- on 0r off the mound. Hubbell is generally considered one of the steadiest pit- chers under fire that modern base- ball has produced. In contrast with the erratic tendencies of mzost southpaws, the Oklahoma pecan farmer has a better record for control than any other flinger in‘ either League.

It was late in the evening before the tension around the conference rooms was eased by Ca1der's an- nouncement that Major Frederic McLaughlin ofthe Blackhawks and C. F’. Adams of the Bruins had reached an agreement with the rink owners at Chicago and Bos- ton, respectively. regarding the ren- tal for the coming season.

There was practically no opposi- tion to the adoption of the penalty- shot, born in the fertile brains of Lester and Frank Patrick when they were active as managers and club-owners in the old Pacific Coast League.

The penalty shot will be deliv- cred from a 10-foot circle 3B feet in front of the goalkeeper. The latter will not be allowed to move more than a foot in front of his goal-line, ‘The sharpshooter can deliver the shot from a standing position or while skating full speed, Any player, except one in the penalty box can make the shot, which will be given only lf an at- tacking player is fouled when in good scoring position.

Frank Patrick and other penalty- shot experts believe the goalkeeper has a 60-40 edge over the shooter. The Boston coach estimated one shot in three would bring a goal and that there will probably not be more than one a game.

The new salary limit was placed at $82,500 per club, a reduction of $2,500, and the new individual limit at $7,000, a cut oi‘ $500 from the previous limit.

TORONTO, Sept. 23. - Fmm the shadows of crumbling hopes, a de- termined, gallant fighter, Mrs. W. G. Fraser of Ottawa, sat on the Can- adian Women's open golf throne to- night, happy and proud of her achievement.

She won her right to the regal soeptre here on Saturday by defeat- ing Miss Ada Mackenzie, Toronto's defending champion, in the most gruelling final in the history of the classic, by a one up margin on the 38th hole, over the hazard-strewn Toronto Country Club layout.

It was the second time the open title had been won by the brilliant Ottawan, her first conquest being recorded back in 1920, when as Alexa Stirling she also wore the United States open crown. Her victory fur- ther served to halt the arnbitl work of Miss Mackenzie toward her fifth title, a feat that has only been accomplished by Mabel Thomson, star of another generation, from Saint John, NB.

Battling their way through a field of international aces, including six of Britain's best, the two finalists packed most of the weoks drama into their private duel on Saturday. Through a heavy course, made so by an early morning rain, a mid-day spell of sultriness and rain squalls later in the afternoon, they faltored a. trifle occasionally, but never ceas- ed fighting.

For almost seven hours they plod- ded over the long route, enjoying alternating fortunes but neither holding a lead of more than two holes at any stage of the battle. l i-‘iii’ l "dlpeqv-do" ball per. rm tricks thisl season.

The race committee consisting of

MacKenzie spent long

Following receipt of the formal protest setting forth details of the complaint, the committee heard both skippers, Sopwith, on behalf of Endeavour and Harold B. Van- derbilt, cn behalf of Rainbow, as well as the two observers, Sir Ralph Gore, representing the Royal Yacht Squadron aboard Rainbow, and Charles Havemeyer represent- lng the New York Yacht Club aboard the challenger.

The committee seemed to be in no hurry to render a decision. This perhaps, was to be anticipated, since all agreed the action taken by Endeavours skipper placed them neatly between Scylla and Charyb-

dis.

In addition to the testimony oil the two skippers there was the pho- 1 tographic record of the race to be consulted. Every instant the yachts were near each other, both at the start and at the first buoy, shut- ters were clicking and movies grinding from coastguard vessels at plotted positions. But there is much harking back to the Lord Dunraven incident of the early 90's when the race committee of that day prompt- ly disqualified Valkyrie and gave the race to Columbia when it de- cided the challenge;- was at fault in fouling the defender.

Sopwith himself has expressed regret at having been forced to lodge a protest, but his contention is there could be no yacht racing, anymore than them could be no baseball, nor cricket nor contract for that matter without rules, re- quiring enforcement.

Vanderbilt himself is a great stickler for rules and is said to be readytobreakoutainvtestflcgat the slightest provocation. Ho car- ried one over the line against Yankee, in one of the preliminary trials of the past summer and was sustained by the committee, al- though the incident had no bear- ingontheresultoftheraco.

Certainly no onus should abtadi to Sopwlth for insisting on what he believed to be his right. In two cuss involving not only two fun- damental rules in yachting but the luue of the race itself, he claimed Vanderbilt refused to give him the right-of-way when the two yachts were converging, Endeavour on a starboard reach and therefore hav- ing the right-of-way and Rainbow on s. port tack Just before the start. He claimed further that M}. Van- derbilt refused to answer his luff, as he felt. he was compelled to do under the rules, with the yachts in the position he considered they were after rounding the first mark
