Aug, 4 The largest flpet of cruising yachts in several fears began straggling into this port just before dawn today after a long 77-mlle thrash from Rye, N.

on the first squadron run of the American Yacht Club's annual crul.se. Up until noon, times had not been computed by the committee so that it Is Impossible to determine any winners in the three classes of racers. This is the largest fleet to take part in any cruise since 1937 when the five America's Cup boats sailed in the cruise held that year by the New York Yacht Club. Thirty-seven craft sailed from Rye yesterday at noon and the.se were joined by six additional boats here. Walter N.

Rothschild's Avanii failed to arrive at Rye for the start but met the fleet here this morning. Mr, Rothschild sailed all the way down from Edgartown to take part in this popular event, which takes the place of the New York Yacht Club's cruise cancelled early this year. Wakiva Scratch Boat A Joint regatta is planned for this afternoon with the Fishers Island Yacht Club fleet, but crews and skippers are so tired from yesterday's affair that many of them will lay up for a rest in preparation for tomorrow's run to Montauk Harbor. A light Northerly breeze which died to a gentle zephyr In the afternoon prevented the fleet from making better time. Many yachts were slatting around in the dol-dromy off Port Jefferson on the Long Island shore.

In the fleet are many well-known off-shore cruising boats not seen in races on the Sound. The scratch boat of the fleet is Harkness Edwards' Wakiva, known from coast to coast for its races in many long distance races. Newcomers in Fleet Even Gilbert Warner launched his Wasaka for the occasion, an old creation of the late Nat Herreshoff, builder of many famous America's Cup yachts, and this ancient gaff-headed sloop can still show a clean pair of heels to the modern-iav streamlined creations which are now coming off the ways, Among the newcomers to longdistance racing are A. Howard Fuller's Gesture, a new sloop of this year's vintage, and Don Laflin Temperance. W.

Roy Manny of Brooklyn has chartered the 32-footer Larakin for the cruise and is sailing her in division three against Dccoursey Fale's Iina, Phil Roosevelt's Persephone, flagship of the Oyster Bay fleet, and more than a score of other prominent blue water racers. Arthur Knapp, well-known Bay-side resident, has chartered Bob Decopet's Coquette and has deserted the international Class on the Sound for the moment. Crisler Named Coach Of College All-Stars Chicago, Aug. 4 UNS) Herbert O. (Fritzi Crisler, head football coach at the University of Michigan, today became the fourth well known grid mentor named as a coach of the 1941 collese all-star team which will face the Chicago Bears, pro football champions, In Soldier Field Aug.

28. The all-star coaching squad will be completed tomorrow with appointment of a fifth mentor, representing the East. Crisler, along with Lynn Waldorf, coach at Northwestern University, represents Midwestern coaching, the South is represented by Coach Homer Norton of Texas A. and M. and the Far West by Coach Orin Hollingberry of Washington State.

After naming cf the fifth coach tomorrow, the head coach for the squad will he announcrd. of 73. Meanwhile, the amazing Mr. Runyan, way out in front with only two lengtlis to go, stumbled into a 5 finish. The parl-mutucl Idea might be well favored during an open championship, with the wagering on each round instead of on the three-day total of four rounds.

In fact, these pros, who seem able to play day after day and week after week, could work up as full a season of gambling as Saratoga, Aqueduct, Jamaica, Empire and Belmont, but, of course, the scene of combat would have to be shifted, for you can imagine what the short hole tees on any layout would look like if the boys remained on one course for a month. Day in and day out that Snead man would be money in the bank, practically, as a first -round bet. Yes, and there are fellows like Horton Smith who make a specially of Garrison finishes to give a bettor golng-away money. Here and there we might lay a bob or two on fellows like Ben Hogan, Craig Wood. Byron Nrl.on for aecond or third-round bet.

By Harold Parrott Detroit and we saw Lynn Patrick, usually so calm and gentlemanly, take a scoring swipe at Stewart's ankles with his hockey bludgeon as he skated off the ice that night. Stewart gels into trouble as an official, but he landed in hot water, too, when they made him manager of the Chicago Black Hawks. He made the mistake of winning the Stanley Cup with a very poor team. When the team nosedived the next year Billy really got trouble he was fired! This Spring, umpiring a small game at Boston to sharpen his eye for the major league season, he caught a foul ball on his wrist and broke it. Trouble? Yes, Mr.

Stewart has it. Hockey players ride him, ball players abuse him. His is a life of solid abuse in the sporting rinks and ball parks of the country. The man is never home. Because, they say it's only a rumor, mind you his wife, too, says he's always wrong! DODGERS-GIANTS PITCHING RECORDS GIANTS VS.

DODGERS FOUR-MAN QUINTET BOWS IN LAST MINUTE The Ill-Hats of Brooklyn, run-ners-up a year ago, defrated the Washington Heights Americans, 2018, to enter the semi-final round of the Metropolitan A. A. outdoor championship at Manhattan Reach yesterday. The Washington Heights American played with only four men In the last quarter but led up to last minute of play. Ed Mitchell tallied the winning goal for the Hi-Hats with only 28 seconds remaining to play, giving him a total of nine points for high-scoring honors, '41 STARS SAMPLE GOLF VINTAGE OF 1923 AT INWOOD Back In 1923 when the National Open was at Inwood, the players didn't expect soft greens at which they could fire their shots knowing that the ball would hold firmly.

So it surprised Ben Hogan, Paul Runyan, Sam Snead and Jimmy Demaret yesterday to find that Jack Mackle had conjured up some of the 1923 conditions for a 1941 exhibition. And it took these head-liners practically nine holes to learn that, when Inwood's dry, one pitches the ball short and lets It run on. Yes, and that any one expecting to hit and hold a green Ike the tightly guarded 177-yard 6th must cut in a shot from left to right when the wind Is blowing with one. There wasn't a left-to-right shot played at that hole and the average score was "4" with Jimmy Demaret bobbing up with the "5" that offset Snead's nicely scrambled One of the real thrills for the big gallery came at the little 10th, the water hole, where Runyan demonstrated that a right-to-left shot, if played properly, has a sharp right-to-left spin when the ball strikes. P.unyan's shot, landing five feet from the flag, cut in almost two feet after striking.

Snead consistently outhit Hogan off the tee. But Little Ben, who seems to swing so hard, was straighter than Snead, who seems to get all that power with no work at all. Those who wahted to measure the smacks Gordon Slott hit in the invitation and in the Long Island amateur got no opportunity, for the wind swung completely around, making measuring silly. Hogan, for Instance, was on the very back end of the 530-yard fourth In two. Stott, and the others in the Amateur championship, had a wind to battle on that hole.

But many got home easily in two on the 519-yard fifth which, yesterday, no one got near in two. Mrs. Sylva Annenberg Lelchner faces her chance to make a clean sweep of all match-play competition in the New York State championship which starts at Slwanoy today. She already holds Metropolitan and Long Island honors'. Caddie carts, gadgets on wheels which carry one's clubs with little exertion on the part of the players, made their 'appearance at two municipal courses.

They are for hire. At 25 cents per round. 75 cents less than caddies cost. So far we have heard of no caddie strikes being fomented as a gesture against further mechanization of life, liberty, etc. TROST.

Cavaliers Annex Community Title Scoring eight runs in the third inning, the Holy Cross Cavaliers conquered the Parkhill BBC, 84. and won the American Division title in the Intercommunity League at the Parade Orounds yesterday.

Cocoa Kid has been equally Impressive at the Pioneer Gym. Out boxed by Jan-narao in their world title match in Baltimore last October, the Kid will be shooting for a knockout this time.

He's a real puncher, as his 23 kayoes in his last 57 fights attest. Lots of Action in Sight Cocoa Kid will enter the ring against Jannazzo with a string of 14 triumphs, but from the angle of victory skeins, he rates only third on the card. Yusscll Goldstein, Brownsville's middleweight menace, will be gunning for his 23d in a row against Wicky Harkins of Philadelphia in the ten-round semifinal, and Beau Jack will be shooting for No. 25 in his six-round battle with Minnie De More. The betting is that neither the Gold-stein-Harklns for Jack De More contests go the limit.

Joe Symelic, former Golden Gloves lightweight champ, is paired with Joe Torres in a six. and Salvy Iannone takes on Albert Aiello in a four, Paco Villa, aggressive Mexican featherweight, champ, who in hi.s last start knocked out Georgie Harper, will attempt to eliminate Chalky Wright from the featherweight title picture when they clash In the eight-round feature at the Queensboro Arena tomorrow night. Bantamweight champ Lou Salica of Brooklyn makes his first appearance before the home folk? since regaining his crown when he faces the hard-hitting Henry Hook in the ten-round feature at the Coney Island Velodrome Friday night. It will be an over-the-weight affair. Dexter Park will be dark to boxing tonight.

Promoter Bob Berman prefers not to compete against the night baseball game at Ebbets Field. Next Monday night, however, two eight-round bouts feature the card, with Oliver White, Brooklyn lightweight, facing Carmello Penoy and Curley Nichols, Brooklyn featherweight, tackling "Irish" Sonny Brent, Louisville's redhead gladiator. Sage Turns Tables On Tom Strafaci Meeting in the third round of play in the Municipal public links tournament for the Newbold Morris Trophy. Joe Sage of Split Rock avenged his defeat of last year by defeating the defending champion. Tom Strafaci of Dyker Beach.

1 up on the 19th hole. Last year in the final round Strafaci led Sage all the way to win, 5 and 4. Johnny Farrell, a teammate of Sage at Split Rock, reached the semi-final round in the same bracket by winning from Ed Bed-narez of Forest Park, 4 and 2. The other end of the draw was filled when Charles Amandolcs of La Tourette, the medalist last week, beat Boby Rcllly of Dyker Beach, 4 and 3. Joe Dcsiderio of Kissena proved too good for Bill Young of Van Cortlandt, 5 and 4.

Play will be continued Saturday at Clcarvicw, when the semi-finalists play 36 holes of medal play. On Sunday the two remaining players will tec off in the final round of 36 holes. Sage will play Farrell and Amandolcs will pair with Dcsiderio Saturday. Walthour Wins Twice In 'Drome Bike Races Jimmy Walthour won both the 10 and the 15-mlle motor-paced bicycle races at the Coney Island Veledrome last night. He defeated Torchy Pcden Clark Alby in the first in the fast time of 14:38.2 minutes and bested Clark Alby and Gerard in 21:12 minutes in the lengthier race.

Y. Sabin, ranked fourth in the tourney, ran into some unexpected trouble from Charley Mattman, former U.

C. L. A. star, now residing; in Forest Hills. Mattman took the first set, 6-2.

but the veteran, Sabin, called on his greater experience to carry him safely through the last two sets by scores of 6-4, 6-3. The victory put Sabin into the third round of play. Among the winners of first-round matches were Will Unstaedter, Francisco Segura, Edward Moylan, Alastair Martin and Earl Cochell Jr. In the women's play Mrs. Gus Ganzemuller of Sea Cliff, L.

When they went to the post Hogan was favored. Ben, if he was low man, would have paid $2.60 on a dollar ticket, Snead $2.80, Runyan $2.90 considerably less than the straight odds of 3 to 1, which should have prevailed If all were equally played. A dollar on Demaret was to get you $4.70. Just to show you what a nice gamble it was, Demaret finished first with a 73, Snead plowed Into a tie with a weak-finishing Paul Runyan for second place with 75, while the favorite, Hogan, ran a poor last with 78. According to the form sheet season's averages, which was the basis for figuring probable odds, this is not the way It should have worked out.

That's what made it fun, particularly with Demaret far out of the running with a loosely played outward 41 but back in with a sizzling 32 that came within a couple of eyelashes of bring a 31 and giving one of the quartet a core better than the Inwood par 'i SEVEN 'DARK HORSES' HAVE WON HAMBLETONIAN Lilfllmf Pet Pet 1 0 1 000 1 0 1 000 0 1.000 1 0 1.000 3 2 .600 0 0 .000 0 .500 0 2 .000 5 .500 0 1 .000 IB .67 0 0 .000 23 29 .442 0 1 .000 2 8 .200 0 2 .000 0 1 .000 0 0 .000 5.

Had Brooklyn blown the ball (tame, the Cardinals would have been forgotten. Stewart, not the Redbirris, would have been blamed with robbing the Dodgers of the pennant. Bill collects headaches as other people collect curios. He's right at home in a storm of cuss words and his family tree has been climbed through so often by indignant athletes that it's highly polished, $12,000 BEATING An unusual man, this Stewart. Small, bald and with a jutting chin, he might be a paperhanger.

the pilot of a Flatbush Ave. trolley or a school teacher. Yet he is unusual; he takes trouble in doses that would stagger most men. Yessir. Stewart can take it.

And he does. Mast umpires and referees take a vacation from the rigors of policing their various games. Not Stewart. He's in the hockey wars every Winter and he jumps right into the arena with the baseball wolves come April. He catches Hail Columbia for 12 months a year the only man 'e know who does.

His rates are about $12,000 for doing this, and he earns every cent of it. KIND SOUL Contrary to popular belief, cloven hooves and a warped mind do not come as utandard equipment with all umpires, aK.iough you might think no to listen to Mr, J. Dykes or Mr. L. Durochcr, Mr.

Stewart is a gentle, inlelli-ent man, we've found from personal association. But Mr. S. is always getting nmeshed in one of those "When Feller needs a friend" situations. Saturday he reversed another umpire's decision and ths Dodgers beefed so loudly the game was called for 30 minutes.

Stewart, the Dodgers say, did the same thing to them last year. The way they tell It, he cuts games right out of their win column, base hits off their averages, bucks off their pay checks. Of course. Mr. Stewart's umpiring associate, big George Mager-kurth, doesn't help.

George got himself mauled by a fan at Ebbets Field last year, remember. Back there when we mentioned Mr. Stewart and Trouble we could have made it a threesome, including Big Mage. DOUBLE, DOUBLE Mr. Stewart got his earful from the Flock Saturday.

Durocher got his today by wire. He was docked fifty bucks. Last Winter Red Dutton, most articulate of all hockey managers, verged on apoplexy whenever Stewart was mentioned. Dutton's was more than a dislike born of the heat of battle he even wouldn't look at Stewart on or off the ice. The Rangers personally blamed Stewart for railroading them out the Stanley Cup play-offs in Inwood Experiment Proves Golf Pari-Mutuel Not a Bad Idea The Hambletonian Stake, for three year old trotters, worth $40,000 plus, will be raced Wednesday afternoon at Good Time Park, Goshen, N.

Y. This is the harness derby's 15th renewal. The first pari-muttiel wagering on the Hambletonian not last year when New York State had the "iron men" for the first, time, but at Lcxincion, 14 years ncn when the stake was won by Iosola's Worthy. Despite the savin? that trotters run true to form, seven dark horses have won the Hambletonian in comparison to nine favorites. Hambletonian winners, Guy Mc-Kinney and McLin Hanover, failed to win a race as two-year-olds.

McLin Hanover, 1938 victor, was sold for $20,000 the week before the Hamble'tonian and won back his purchase price in the race.
