01D CHIPAGKETS NEARTE N RCE Thousands Line River Bank to Cheer—Tom Greene By the Associated Press. CINCINNATI, Ohio, July 17.—A rol- licking revival of the steamboat races of 50 years ago elected a new champion of the Ohio River last night in the | packet Tom Greene, victor over the Betsy Ann by a scant 10 feet in a spurt to New Richmond, Ohio, 20 miles up the river. | On even terms from the start at 5:12 | p.m., the stern-wheelers strained to the last ounce of steam against the five- mile current as the twin stacks forward I. rained cinders and coal on the quivering decks and the paddles astern churned the river to froth. Twenty feet apart the two craft fought, never more than a quarter length in the lead, to the fin- ish line and the cheers of 10,000 spec- tators lining the banks at 7:33 p.m., | 2 hours and 21 minutes after the start. | Lost Set of Gold Antlers. Tom Greene, 25. of a long line of rivermen, commanded the boat bearing his name. Frederick Way, jr., 28, was in charge of the Betsy Ann. The Betsy Ann permanently lost a set of golden antlers, emblematic of a former cham- plonship of the Mississippi River, and the Tom Greene won a loving cup of- fered by merchants of New Richmond. ‘The antlers are in the possession of the Greene Lines, Cincinnati. | Thousands Lined Stream. 3 As in the days when an important | race meant a holiday in the valley, river folk turned out for the modern event in the spirit, if not the appear- ance, of former crowds. Thousands lined the stream on both sides, others followed the race in automobiles along river roads, still more rode thmuzh; the wake of the craft in motor boats and overhead three airplanes carried the most modern spectators of packet racing. There was color and noise in profu- ajon at the start. A calliope set up a din which was heightened by the blasts of boat whistles as the racers maneu- vered into position. Heard above all others was the whistle of the Tom Greene itself. It's a chime and the prize of th: late Capt. Christopher Greene, who, when the owners refused to sell it, bought a whole steamship to ! own it. A cannon on the deck of the Tom Greene gave the signal for the start, and as the whistles blared the race was | on. Prow to prow they raced to a finish %0 close that the outcome was in doubt until the official decision was handed | down. | WOODMEN OF AMERICA HOLDING BEACH OUTING Seven Local Camps Take Part in Annual Excursion of Secret Order. ‘The annual excursion of the Modern ‘Woodmen of America is being held | today at Chesapeake Beach, with seven local camps participating.
