ANXIOUS T0 HOLD AFFAIR ANNUALLY Claims Ideal Facilities for Races and Caring for Spectators. Official and civic bodies of A Yacht Racing Association in con- ducting the President’s Cup Re-| gatta here last Friday and Sat- |Like a group of war horses scenting the | urday, hope to make the national | series of small motor craft races an annual affair here. Last week's regatta was the fifth an- nual event of the kind, the first four being held in Washington. Local representatives point to the un- rivaled facilities for carrying out the | affairs here and the successful conduct | last week, although | a limited time was given for the prepa- | of the one held rations. Outstanding advantages of Annapolis, it is claimed, are an ideal course with fine accommodations for spectators and the co-operation of the Naval Academy officials. . The Severn River, a little more than a half mile broad at the point of start and finish, and with plenty of deep | water, furnished ample room for the racing boats and for craft anchored along the course, while the seawall and ships at the Naval Academy and the high bluffs on the other side of the river afforded unusual facilities for spectators. Next to the ideal course, the efficient and accommodating co-operation of the | Naval Academy authorities s regarded | as a reason for holding future re- gattas at Annapolis. ‘ NNAPOLIS, September 18.— | Annapolis, which co-oper- | ated with the Maryland| BY WALTER NKNOWN to most Washingto- nians, the Nation's Capital en- tertained on Tuesday, even while Bobby Jones, the emperor of golf, was showing his wares at Colum- bia, the youngster whom many obsery- ers of the game belleve to be the crown prince of American amateurs.

Those youngsters were just itching to g0 out to Columbla to watch Bobby and to see their friend Roland MacKenzie. fray, they almost kicked over the traces to get to see that match, but thyy were bound to keep an appointment iri Phila- delphia that afternoon, and théy kept it. The good Jim Preston, big father of the public links golfers, piioted them all over the Capitol, through every nook and corner of the historic white struc- ture; showed them through the Con- gressional Library, where they gazed wide-eyed at its wonders; showed them | the White House, and then escorted them over to the Senate Office Building, where he told them he was going to take them into & typical office of a United States Senator. Jim always has ideas. He opened the door of Senator Pat Harrison of Mis- defatigable golfers on the Hill. Senator Harrison’s eyes grew bigger as he pictured an afternoon of golf with these fine playing kids at Burning Tree, but_the youngters from the West Coast | wer® compelled to voice regrets when he mentioned the possibility of a game. They had to get back to Philadelphia, they said, and had just stopped over in Washington for a couple of hours to see the sights. Had they known, they said, of the Bobby Jones match or of the ‘chance to play Burning Tree they would have made arrangements to stop off for the afternoon. As a parting touch, Jim took them down to East | Potomac Park, where Frank Dolp broke .\‘\“\‘ T sissippi, one of the best and most in- | STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE R.
