SPORTS. — THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, D €, MONDAY. JUXNE 10, 193¢ SPORTS. A-1b SPEEDS T0 I WINS ON CHOPPY RIVER Daring Motor Boat Driving by New Jersey Pro Gives : Throng Many Thrills. BY BURTON S. HAWKINS. HEN A successful regatta | can be staged despite such discouraging setbacks as choppy water, dull gray ' #kies and intermittent rain, somebody | deserver a lot of credit, and today Fdward C. Baltz, John C. Remon, L. Gordon Leech, Stanley Horner, Tommy Lodge, “Radio Joe” Kaufman and the many others connected with the Shrine regatta are due a big | hand for giving Washington one of its | finest water spectacles. Thirty thousand or more water sports fans lined the Potomac Park sea wall yesterday to watch Fred Jacoby. | ir., No. 1 professional outboard motor | racer and recent winner of the Al- bany-New York test, turn the re-| gatta into a one-man show. Near Sweep for Jacoby. \\'I’NNING no less than nine events, the veteran North Bergen, N. J.. speedster drove his Flyaway boats | down the choppy waters of the Potomae to victory as the crowd ' wondered when his daring tactics would end in disaster. But Jacoby maneuvered his ponies of the water flawlessly and was threatened for honors but twice Bob Rowland, Norfolk. Va., stepped into & three-length lead on the North Bergen bullet in the class B competition and held the advantage for four of the scheduled five laps. Coming down the stretch before the last turn. Jacoby was a scant half- length in the rear. Rowland. in an effort to increase “Little Bob's” mar- gin, cut in sharply at the buoy and received a ducking as his boat tilted in refusing the turn Later in the class C event Jacoby #gain was riding in the wake as Lewis Carlisle. East Islip. Long Island. took his Hell's Angel to the front. Going into the final lap Jacoby pulled up on even terms with the crafty Carlisle, ! who earlier in the race gave the spec- tators their biggest thrill of the day when his boat slapped a wave and was thrown almost perpendicularly into the air. The Long Island racer tried to head Jacoby off with a sharp turn at the last buoy. but was cata- pulted from his craft in the futile effort. New Jersey Kules Waves. “HE 35-year-old grizzled racing sen- sation finished in front in the A and F classes and the Inter-Shrine Temple handicap races in addition to triumphing in classes B and C. New Jersey ruled the waves as Mul- ford Scull of Ventnor. Sam Crooks of Rumson and Edison Hedges. S. Morti- mer Auerbach and Jimmy Booth. all of Atlantic City. carried off what little henors Jacoby left. In the closest race of ihe day. Doc Bagley. Baltimore veteran, piloted his Wilmer III to victory over Hedges' hoat in the 225-cubic inch hydroplane competition. Bagley and Hedges bat- tled through the waves for 4'; lengths before Doc managed to pull away a few feet for victory. World Mark in Trials, ]N THE mile trials for world records earlier in the day, Arno Apel, At- lantic City. set a mark in the 91-cubic inch test with a speed of 49.203 miles per hour in the Aquila Valadora. Apel's feat will be recognized due to the fact that this is a new racing class #nd no previous official trials ever have been held. Hedges' speed of 50.01 failed to eclipse Auerbach's 50.561 rec- ord in the mile trials for 135-cubic Inch craft. Those who dragged themselves out of bed early enough to be down at Lincoln Memorial Pool at 8 am. saw E. L. Luke'’s one-cylinder gas engine Imodel motor boat win over a fast field with the speed of 30.09 miles per hour. The Sholl brothers. Theodore and Julius, finished second and third. Luke holds the United States record with 3312, while Rankine of England is hoider of the world mark with 41.2. Summaries CLASS A—OPEN.

June 10.--Omaha.! having joined the ranks of time's great horses, munched hay in his stall today awaiting new flelds to conquer. William Woodward. his owner, and “Sunny Jim" Fitzsimmons, his trainer were expected to decide todav on when and where Omaha. who completed the “triple crown” with a victory in the sixty-seventh running of the Belmont stakes Saturday, would go to the post again. The chestnut son of Gallant Fox which joined his daddy and Sir Barion as the only horses ever to win the Kentucky Derby, the Freakness, and the Belmont. was a possible entrant in the $25,000 1'(-mile Detroit Derby Saturday. Other races which Omaha mav enter are the $25,000 American Derby at Washingtcn Park, June 22: the Dwyer stakes at Aqueduct, June 29. and the rich classic July 20 at Arlington Park The years have changed the size of racing prizes and although Omaha has matched his sire's victories, he trails far behind Gallant Fox in earn- ings. Gallant Fox won more than | $308.000 during his campalgn as a 3-year-old. Omaha’s earnings to date are $106,930, all but $3.850 of which was earned this year. The argument goes on as to which horse, Gallant Fox, or his off-spring is the greater. Omaha gave a performance surpass- ing that cf the Fox when he ran the 11, miles of the Belmont in 2:304; in a driving rain that made footing pre- carious. The time was a second faster than that of Gallant Fox and was only 14; seconds slower than the track record hung up by Man-o-War. ighth in Row for Bridges. 7["OMMY BRIDGES of Detroit, win- nining his eighth straight triumph and his ninth of the season, got the better of Chicago's rookie. Silent John Whitehead. 4 to 1, with the aid of Hank Greenberg's thirteenth circuit swat. and lost shutout through Marty Hopkins' boundary belt. Bridges gave only five hits and Whitehead four Fay Thomas of the Browns bested Oral Hildebrand of the Indians, 2 to 1. with five-hit hurling. All the scoring came in the fourth inning on homers by Ed Coleman and Hal Trosky The Yankees-Red Sox clash was postponed because of wet grounds. - —— a American Association.

' buzzing. They re not buszing over what Ossie failed to grab yesterday against the Athletics. but what he did get. If ever a great defensive exhibition was exhibited at Griffith Stadium this season it was that performance by the Nationals’ “new” shortstop as the Griffs won their fourth victory in five starts by whipping the Athietics. Osste booted two chances but handled twelve—and there wasn't &an easy chance in the entire lot. Four of the transplanted third- sacker's efforts were little short of masterpieces. In the second, after putting Foxx on first base with & low throw that Joe Kuhel more often digs out of the dirt than fumbles, Ossie made up for it with a bit of brain- work that resulted in a double play. RIC McNAIR was on second, after “ having doubled Foxx home, when Pinky Higgins rapped a hot shot past Cecil Travis at third. Bluege grabbed in with his gloved paw and threw to Travis, cutting off McNair. On the rundown involving Myer, Ossie took the ball and chased McNair back to second. refusing to tag him although it would have been an easy matter. | The reason was thal H’i‘;glm had | taken second on the rundown and ' Ossle had both of the Athletics on the bag at the same time Higgins automatically was out, of course, but McNair didn't realize it. He asrumed he was the victim of the play and took one step from the bag | after reaching it. Just as he realized | his boner he was thumped in the back | by Bluege for one of the dippiest double plays of the vear. BLIVEGE'S second standout act also was & double play and at the ex- pense of the Altrock-Schacht-er. the McNair-Higgins _due—in the fifth McNair was on first when Higgins hit what had all the earmarks of a Texas 20 Years Ago IN THE STAR.

He definitely assigned him to a job that | Ed Linke, Belve Bean and Bob Burke coveted.

BUT Russell, except for emergenries when the Nationals want a bal game the worst way. will begin aii of his future pitching in the firsi inning. He proved his right to a stari- ing job vesterday when the Athletirs were whipped in 10 innings. 5 to 4 in Washington's final tilL here for nearly & month Jack didn't get official credit winning. partly due to fault n own, but for eight innings—his 1 is season and, with a last season—he pitched a ball gam The performance of the reformed relief moundsman was quite a boost of the Griffs, who today entrained for a Western swing that is to comprise 18 games in 15 davs Consecutive five-game series in Chi- cago.

A WEEK ago yesterday in Philadel- phia Jack gave an inkling of what he had on the ball these dars He turned in five flawless nings, then. naturally gaited only short distarces. due to constant use as & part-time hurler, he weakened Yesterday, against the same ciub. he gave a good deal more than an inkling. But for three errors by his mates, he undou have started and finished a gam first time since 1933—a&nd won it aver a pet Washington fjinx, Vernon (Whitey) Wilshere. Only 19 batsmen faced Russell in the first six innings and the odd one was the result of an error by the usually perfect Ossie Bluege. who put Jimmy Foxx on base in the second inning. A sacrifice and Eric McNair's double scored Jimmy, but a weird double-play ended the inning That was all for the Athleties until the eighth and. meantime, Russell wa« surprising in another respect. He tripled. of all things, to drive across two runs in the third round. and later scored himself for Griff¢’ Late Rallies Win. QO IT was 3 to 1 going inte the 7 eighth. but it was the frame pre- vious that sapped Russell's strength A single. only the third hit for the A's; a boot by Buddy Mver and an other by Bluege put Jack in & hole and he had to work hard to escape unscathed. A great fielding plar by himself on Higgins' hot shot helped Then, in the eighth, after retiring two pinch hitters, he was touched foy two doubles, one scratchy, for the A's second run. The ninth found him wabbly.
