MOTOR BOAT RACE
GAR WOOD WINS AGAIN.
[BY CABLE —PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.]
(Received September 5, 11.30 a.m.) VANCOUVER, September 4. Gar Wood retains the Harmsworth Trcphy, beating Scott Paine by half a mile to-day. The race was one of the most thrilling of the Harmsworth contests, Scott Paine displaying driving skill rarely seen. No fewer than half a dozen times in the pell mell chase after Miss America X, the Britisher’s small metal Miss Britain bounced almost clear of the water, but with almost uncanny control, Scott Paine righted her, and roared after the defender. In the finishing race, Scott Paine, though beaten, accomplished something no other challenger ever before was able to do against Wood. He completed two races.
