Today's margin of victory was by far the most decisive of the series; Courage- ous had won the previous three races by times of four minutes 54 seconds, one minute 11 seconds, and five minutes 27 seconds. The clinching victory was achieved with a whopping margin of seven minutes 19 seconds. NEWPORT, R.I. (P) - Coura- geous, a thoroughbred among} sailing yachts, made it four straight triumphs over Austral- ian challenger Southern Cross yesterday and retained the 123- year-old America's Cup Trophy for the United States.I As was the case in her pre-I vious victories, the long, lean, 12-meter sloop made it look easy. Her victory margin in the final sail of the 24.3-mile ocrean course was seven min- utes, 19 seconds-one of the worst beatings a challenger has taken in the series in re- cent years. Southern Cross lost the most time, perhaps, after rounding one of the markers, when the crew set a spinnaker, which caught around a shroud, and then were slow in cleaning it. "It's incredible, really," said one on-shore member of the Aussie delegation, who already was packing his gear even be- fore the finale was half over. "None of us will be welcome back home after this. Cup fever has been running high among our countrymen, much of it Ij ter's 12th home run and a pinch single by Bob Hansen produced two seventh-inning runs, leading the Milwaukee Brewers to a 3-2 victory over the Cleveland In- dians last night. Mike Hegan followed Porter's homer with a double. After an intentional walk to Dave May, Hansen's single scored pinch runner Bobby Mitchell. The Indians had taken a 2-1 lead in the fifth. After Oscar Gamble's 19th homer, Buddy Bell reached first on an error fear because of our overcon- fidence." Thus ended in humiliation a $6 million effort by Austrian millionaire real estate mag- nate Alan Bond to wrest the oldest sporting trophy in exis- tence. Bond was asked if he thought the whole effort was worthwhile after spending between $6 mil- lion and $9 million. "If 100 million people have learned more about Australia and this flag," he said, placing his hand on the Australian ban-, ner he had just draped over the edge of the table, "then yes, it has been worthwhile." Bond's Southern Cross, like Courageous, constructed ofi aluminum, was touted to be the strongest challenger ever to ap- pear in waters off Newport Harbor.{ But she was no match for Olin J. Stephens' Courageous, a 10-ton sliver of gleaming white. The American defender astonishingly brushed aside the challenge by earlier mar- gins of 4 minutes, 54 seconds, 1:11 and 5:27 in the first three outings. Not only that, she showed her supremacy in all areas of sail- ing, including eyepopping per- formances by her 11-member crew. Thus it was that she had hardly cleared the finishing line before champagne began to I F _ _ _ . ~i ----__... __.__ ._ _______ _--__ _--._. _------____ __ ____w_ _____ .., ,, , '11i SO N NE The two boats returned to their piers in the Newport Shipyard to a wild reception with cannon fire, firecrack- ers, horns and whistles, and for t h e Australians, t h e cheers of a mass of their fans from Down Under. Since 1958, when the 12-meter designs raced for the Cup for the first time, American de- fenders have shut out their op- position three times and in two other challenges lost only two races, both to Australians.
