YACHTS TO COMPETE IN MILES RIVER REGATTA RUISE! C S of the Capital Yacht Club fleet willkweigh anchor during the weck for the trip down the Potomac and up the Chesapeake for the annual regatta of the Miles River Yacht Club at St. Michaels. The main division of the club fleet, led by Vice Commodore R. S.| Doyle's Margretan, is expected to get under way on Thursday. The boats will head for Annapolis, 130 miles aws the opening-day of the three-day affair at St. Michaels. 50-foot ketch, Windward, will be the A number of vachtsmen from the Corinthian Club zlso planning to attend the power and sail races on Miles River, but with the exception of one or two boats already cruising in the Chesapeakd, craft flying the Corinthian tiag will remain at the South Washington anchorage until carly next week. Two Corinthian cruisers that may join the fleet later are Ularence Hall's Ariel, now at Blackistones Island, and Harry Moss' Delight, stopping at Camp Roosevelt, near Chesapeake Beach. N. J. Nevius of the Gapital Club is preceding the Capitul fleet in the run through _ Maryland and Virginia waters. He left Friday for the first long trip in his new bridge-deck cruiser, Kraken. Canoeists and campers on the upper Potomac are making good use of the first-ald stations being placed along the river by the Red Cross. Nineteen casey, most of them minor injuries, have been reported as treated at the six points where first-aid kits and life buoys have been placed during the last two months under the direction of W. E. Longfellow. No. 1 station is at Great ¥alls Canoe House, No. 2 at Dempsey's, No. 3 at Moore's, No. 4 at Davis' Float, No. 5 at Rocky Point_ and No. 6 at Syca- more Island. A Red Cross canoe equipment also has been placed at Dempsey’s and will be available for patroling courses for races and swim- ing meets. Capt. Boyd Hines, a senior lifesaver, is in charge df the work and heads a junior crew that makes weekly in- spection of the stations and demon- strates life-saving tactics. Skipper Fred Burwick and C. B. Rittenour are putting the finishing touches to the V-bottom sedan cruiser, Ta_ Minuet, which forms the newest addition to the fleet of the Eastern Power Boat Club. The craft, thought by its owners to be the first cruiser on the Potomac to be powered with a Ford engine, measures only 28 feet from stem to_stern, but embodies most of the comforts and conveniences of the large boats that tie up at the club’s dock on the Eastern Branch. The cabin sleeps four persons com- fortably and accommodates six for meals. The power plant is hidden from view under the forward deck in front of a roomy cockpit built on the same level with the cabin and galley. Placing the engine so far forward made it necessary to install an 18-foot propeller shaft. Although still lacking a few acces- sories to make her complete, La Minuet has been cruising the Potomac all Summer and her two designers and builders are well pleased with her performances. Skipper Burwick is particularly proud of the fact that he's never yet had to crank her. At present he and Rittenour are engaged in the construction of an 8-foot metal tender. s are being placed in the Baby Dot, a speedboat, and the Claire, formerly a Navy glg, at the Corin: thian Yacht Club anchorage. Chester Snow is installing a 110-horsepower Stearns in the Claire, while the Dot, formerly known as the Jolly Rodger, 18 being refitted with a 125-horse Hall Scott in an effort to increase her speed. - Sewell Shreve is converting o 36-foot motor-sailer into a trunk cabin crutser. He will install a- Pierce- Arrow engine. New engi “The hull for J. H. Galliher’s new 40-foot V-bottom crulser arrived at the ~Corinthian dock Friday from Breton Bay. Two Capital yachts, Ballantrae and Oldot, owned by R. C. Roebling and G. . Forsberg, respectively, are re- ported ready to leave their Summer anghorages at Solomons. The Oldot comes to Washington this week, .while the Ballantrae Is setting out for a New England cruise. Wilbur Jarvis of the Washington Yacht Club left Friday in the Kanaka for a six weeks’ cruise on the lower Potomac. GLICK WHIPS MILLER. .

Miss Ederle, or “Trudy” as they all call her here, thinks she knows the way .to beat the rough-riding tides of the channel. Trudy is com- bining*with her own idea the perfence of Sebastian Tirabocehi, the Italian from Argentina, who swam the channel in record time lust year. Instead of starting with the tide at Gris-Nez, Tirabocehi started fodir hours before it and as a result got over easily in about 16 hour faster than anybody else. Trudy says that if she had started in the same way last year she would have made it! The tides, you know, flow fast furious six hours ‘each way, nto the North Sea and back. Miss Ederle was caught by the third tide and lost. Tirabocehi was carried in by the third tide.

WOMEN IN SPORT -BY CORRINE FRAZIER JUATIC stars of the Capitol Athletic Club are training energentically for the national swimming meet to be held in the Sesquicentennial lake at Philadelphia,.
