Who Won

Fishing

P: TIME'S Managing Editor John Stuart Martin: the North American tuna record ; by bringing to gaff an 821-pounder off Liverpool, Nova Scotia. U. S. sportsmen penetrated these old market fishing grounds three years ago, attracted by reports that the giant, powerful "horse mackerel" grew big and were more plentiful there than anywhere else. Previous Liverpool and North American record was a 788-pounder caught last August by Dr. John R. ("Goat Gland") Brinkley of Del Rio, Texas. Last month Mrs. Earl Potter of Brookville, L. I. won the women's world record there with a 757-pounder, lost it next day when a 760-pounder was caught by Mrs. William Chisholm of Cleveland, Ohio.

Boat racing

P: Harold Stirling Vanderbilt's Ranger, successful America's Cup defender: all five races for the Eastern Yacht Club's City of Marblehead Trophy; off Marblehead, Mass. They were the last races of the season for the five Class J sloops, in which Ranger has raced 31 times, lost twice.

P: Briggs Cunningham's Lulu: the Scandinavian Gold Cup, outstanding international trophy for six-meter yachts; off Oyster Bay, L. I.

P: Herbert Mendelson's Notre Dame, with her Designer-Builder Clell Perry at the wheel: the Gold Cup, oldest U. S. Speed boat trophy; at the Detroit Yacht Club; with an average speed of 63,675 m. p. h. for three 30-mi. laps--a Gold Cup record.*

Golf

P: Mrs. Opal S. Hill, 45, of Kansas City: the tournament for the Missouri women's golf championship, for the third year in a row; during which she scored a 66 (a hole-in-one, two eagles, six birdies, nine pars), lowest score for 18 holes ever recorded by a woman; on the Indian Hills course, Kansas City.

Baseball

P: Second-place Detroit Tigers: a baseball game against the Washington Senators, 12-to-3 ; in which Rookie Rudy York, who got a chance when Catcher Mickey Cochrane was injured in midseason, hit his 17th and 18th homeruns of the month (August), to become the first batter to break famed Babe Ruth's record of 17 in one month (September 1927); at Detroit.

*Last week Great Britain's Sir Malcolm Campbell, holder of the land speed record of 301.13 m.p.h., raced his Bluebird over Lake Maggiore, twice smashed Gar Wood's five-year-old speedboat record to set a new world's record of 129.41 m.p.h.
