...given it to her. In the sixth race, Ruth Sears would have had to miss the one point a boat gets for finishing to lose the championship. Instead, while Lorna Whittelsey was winning and hoping, Miss Sears coasted cautiously around the course for a fourth place and the cup that Mrs. Charles Francis Adams put up in 1925, 30½ points to Miss Whittelsey's 28¼. Distantly related to Boston's famed society athlete Eleanora Sears, Ruth Sears won the championship for Cohasset in 1925 and 1926, has not competed for it since 1927. Added...
...really expected to win the Harmsworth Cup Hubert Scott-Paine proved last week that he was a better loser than boat-driver. Said he, after the first race: ''The best time of my life . . . the water was beautiful . . . my boat ran up to expectations. . . ." Unlike Kaye Don, whose Miss England III broke down last year in the Harmsworth races, Hubert Scott-Paine has no backer. Like Gar Wood, he builds his own boats, works on them with a staff of six mechanics with whom he shared quarters in Detroit last week. At 14. Hubert Scott-Paine ran away...
Encouraged to team together by Bernon S. Prentice, non-playing captain of this year's U. S. Davis Cup team, Lott & Stoefen proved one thing by their victory last week: that Chicago's hairy, hard-bitten George Martin Lott Jr. is the best doubles player in the U. S., if not in the world. Last week's doubles title was his fourth. He won in 1928 with John F. Hennessey, in 1929 and 1930 with John Hope Doeg. Saturnine, good-humored, Lott's doubles game is noteworthy for steadiness, tactical brilliance, unwillingness to be discouraged...
...star boats-slim, 22-ft. sloops with tall Marconi mainsails and cockpits just big enough for two-started smoothly enough off Long Beach, Calif, last week. Young Eddie Fink of Long Beach, the defending champion, won the first race in his Movie Star II. Adrian Iselin II, the Bacardi Cup holder, who had brought his Ace, his crinkly smile, his old sailing hat and his crony Ed Willis from Port Washington. L. I., snooped out most of the light breezes in the second. Fink won the third race and seemed to be on the last tack to retaining his championship...
...putt for a two. It made her one up for the first time in 21 holes. Trying desperately to catch up, Helen Hicks had a good chance at the 9th, until her opponent laid her a dead stymie. A 75-yd. spade shot that stopped three inches from the cup at the 12th put Miss Van Wie three up. On the 15th, both balls were on the green in two, but Helen Hicks's had bitten into the soft turf and picked up a patch of mud. She putted three times to Virginia...
