Edgar MARINE CITY. Sept. 3 Gar Wood's giant Miss America will he called Monday afternoon to finish th. Job of defending the Harmsworth Trophy. Judged by Its showing in the first race the task should be easy.

Before their first meeting on the St. Clair River Saturday. Hubert Scott-Paine'a tiny, all-metal Miss Britain III was regarded as a "mystery'' boat. Its unorthodox lines and the fact that It never had been "opened up" In trial runs led to the belief that the Briton would give Gar a hard race. But all thia mystery wa.

left floating in th wake of the Miss America when the challenger trailed by a margin of close to three mile, at the finish. And tonight there waa little prospect of a British victory Monday unless aomething unforeseen happen, to the defender. One Motor Not F.nough Tt was the consensus among those who witnessed the opening race that the aingle-engined challenger lacks the speed required to make a race of It with the multimotored Miss America. For a few brief moments hi the opening race there was p.uspect of a real struggle. There waa only a half length separating the rivals when they crossed the starting line, and the crowd waa held In suspense with the thought that Wood had met his match In Scott-Palne, considered the most able challenger FIngland ever had sent In quest of the trophy.

This suspense was short-lived. Before 50 yards of the thirty-five-mile Journey had been completed open water appeared between the speeding boats, and Miss America went on to win as she pleased. That the margin at the finish was only three miles was du. to Wood's checking down of his giant Packard motors on the final lap a. a gesture to tne rnaiienger.

Too Muchf Glare, Briton Say. From his headquarter, in St. Clair tonight Scott-Paine explained his poor showing Saturday with the statement that he had been troubled by the glare of the water. "I wasn't able to see very well." he said, "and the dark spots on the water appeared much deeper than they really were. Because of this I didn't get the 'feel' of my boat until Gar waa so far out in fiont it was almost impossible to catch him.

"However. I am not discouraged, and honeatly believe I will be able In Algonac Races ALGONAC, Sept. 3-Algonao entertained visiting tourists Sunday with speedboat races. In the 250-horsepower class Chuck won first place and E. Gallon second.

The 125-horsepower class was won hy E. Sahln. Harlin Rankin, of Chatham, took second place. A rowhoat race, the first held on the River in many years, was captured by George Iynr.nn. A keg of beer went to the winner.

to make a much more creditable showing tomorrow. You know, after ail, my only hope when I came her. was to give Gar the best competition I could and be able to complete two races. I am reasonably sure that I shall accomplish this." There waa sufficient evidence to support the contention of the Briton. A study of the official time sheets revealed that the challenger had Improved as the first race progressed.

Though his speed on the first lap averaged only a little more than 66 miles an hour, he had stepped it up to better than 82 miles an hour on thn final trip of the seven-mile couise. Prove. Boat Seaworthy Aside from that Scott-Paine proved that his tiny craft was seaworthy and that there was little prospect of being tipped over on the smooth waters of the St. Clair River. Should it finish the second race Miss Britain will have accomplished something no other challenger has been able to doaince Wood won the trophy in 1920-sur-viwe the gruelling teat of a Harms-worth race.
