'Relay Race of Molor Boats Paid Pilots Are Expected to Go for New Scheme With Enthusiasm. BY BURTON S. HAWKINS. GORDON LEECH, whose un- I tiring efforts as chairman of the President'’s Cup Regatfa ' Race Committee have drawa the Nation's standout speed boat drivers to local waters, has popped up with an idea that promises to eclipse any novelty, from the point of spectator interest, ever staged on the Potomac. An outboard relay race, bringing together eight of the foremost amateur and professional pilots in the country, 1s Leech’s latest contribution to the aquatic carnival. to be held on the Potomac September 26-29. Although it is practically impossible to catch up with the roving outboard drivers, Leech will corner them at the Eastern outboard championships at Philadelphia on September 13-14 and expects to sell them the idea. Will Pass Baton. ATTERNED after a track relay, the race would call for each of the four pilots on a team to pass a baton to the next boat. Four laps of sensational speed and possible spills would decids the event. Professionals, who are expected to leap at the chance to add to the sea- san’s laurels, could be chosen from such speed merchants as Fred Jacoby, jr.; C. Mulford Scull, Ernie Millot, Bob Meyer and Frank Vincent. Simon-pure pilots could put a formidabie four on the water with Sam Crooks, Joel Thorne, Lewis Carlisle and Gar ‘Wood, jr. Rivalry between the pro and amateur aquatic aces practically equals an Army-Navy meeting on the gridiron, and this race is expected to be a “natural.” The little egg beaters, traveling at about 50 miles per hour, would require the utmost skill in marine maneuvering. Class T Runabouts Added. 'AMONG the most graceful and beautiful of all racing craft, class 1 runabouts have been added to the President’s Cup program and enthu- siasm among the owners of this type ©f boat points to keen competition. Carrying up to 825-cubic inch dis- placement, these boats will speed be- fore the spectators as event No. 7 cn Sunday, September 29. Dr. Cecil H. Bagley of Baltimore, well known to local mariners, was recently named chairman of the Cen- tral Atlantic Region of the American Power Boat Association at the annual meeting of the directors. The sixth annual cruising race of the Gibson Island Yacht Squadron, to Cedar Point and return, will be held Saturday, with races starting from the Baltimore Light, about two miles east of Gibson Island, Md., at 3 pm Previous winners have been Maurice B.

IED in an inter-city series with the Meadowbrook Swimming team of Baltimore, an all-star aggregation of ‘Washingtonians will go to Mount Washington, Md., today for their third meet of the season with the Orioles. The series stands at one- all, Washington having won the last clash. Not only will the inter-city chnm-‘ pionship be at stake, but also a trophy | offered by Mayor Howard W. Jack- | son of Baltimore. It is the first time a trophy has been presented for a Washington-Baltimore swim | competition and must be won three | times before becoming the permmcntl‘ property of either team. | Earle Weeks, who is in charge of | the local team, is taking the best man and woman swimmers of Wash- ington in a squad which includes Rita Augusterfer, Ann Bono, Betty O'Toole, Marie Duval, Harry Toulmin, | Ernie Boggs, Bartlett Ewell and| Johnny Broaddus.

Anticipating a fine season officials are expecting to have 10 stores rep- resented. Paul Messink, 1934 presi- dent, declined nomination due to business pressure, BARKS FROM DOGDOM BY A. NAMELESS DORG. HERE is a tang in the air that presages Autumn and the as- I cendancy of the sporting dog. One hears again that “the set- ter is my favorite dog.” Or on an- other street corner one overhears an anxious inquiry as to the state of the rabbits in a given community, with its accompanying comment of so-and- 80 having a fine pair of young beagles. And so it goes. Field trials and fox hunts will soon be sharing the dog Jover’s attention with the bench shows. Two well-known dog breeders from this locality recently died. Mrs. Ruggles of the Prince George Kennels was well known for her Pekingese and Pomeranians. Alton B. Smith of Bal- timore was probably the oldest colile breeder in the country, having raised that breed and no other for well over 50 years.

AEAD N STARE Scores Second Win in Row in Defeating Sation in Blackstone Handicap. | By the Associatea Press. AWTUCKET, R. I, August 24— Two tremendous horses, Hal Price Headley's Whopper and George D. Widener's Sation, Iran one-two in the first renewal of the Blackstone Valley handicap at Narragansett Park today, the Head- ley colt leading the other home by a length. It was the second successive vic- tory for the sizable son of Pharamond II on the track and netted his owner $4,830, nearly doubling the earnings of the horse this season. Whopper's total now is $10,405. This marked Sation’s first start of the year and under the punishing im- post of 130 pounds he performed in much the same fashion that brought him victory in four out of his five stake engagements last season.

HESTERTOWN, Md, August 24—John Charles Thomas, Metropolitan Opera star, drove his speedy Myne II to a brilliant victory in both heats of the class E inboard event of the Chester River Yacht Club's annual regatta here today. Thomas, a speedboat pilot with but three weeks’ experience in competi- tion, got away to an early lead shortly after the start of the 5-mile race, and widened his margin gradually despite the choppy water which sliced speed and taxed pilots’ skill to pre= vent upsets. P. K. Hooper of Philadelphia, drive ing the Marion, was second, and Harry Eklos of Baltimore, was third in the Betty E. Thomas' best time was 8 minutes 414 seconds. 2 Joel Thorne of New Rochelle, N.

Speedboat Queen to Marry/ Loretta Turnbull of Monrovia, Calif.,, world champion woman pilot, is shown with Tom Rickett, foot ball University of Canada, whom she will wed next Friday. TRONG winds from the north- east and east during the last week proved to be too much of a handicap for anglers, and few sizeable catches were made. However, there is bound to be some | lucky fishing party, no matter what weather condition may be, and I was included in this category. Following the heavy rains I ran into a school of rockfish back of Cedar Point Light and had a great time witnessing | Hi | their mad scramble in real shallow | water and also landing some of the 6 and 7 pounders. Another lucky party, fishing on Southwest Middles, landed 84 blues, ranging from 5 to 10 pounds. These were the two outstanding catches of the week. THERE is no doubt about the quan- tity of blues and trout in the | bay and its tributaries, and all boat | captains expect the best Fall fishing in many years. Complaints have reached us from many sources of the activities of fl- legal purse netters. Some of the sport anglers have been threatened by them with guns and hatchets. One angler told me that there would be a tragedy in the bay if these men continued to interfere with the an- glers, He said the captain of his boat threatened to ram the purse boat if its owner did not stop opera- tions. Following an intensive drive by the Maryland Conservation Department four captains and sixteen other men were placed under arrest in Herring Bay and found guilty by Police Jus- tice Harry E. Burns of ' Shadyside. The defendants appealed their cases and they came up before Judge Lin- wood L. Clark of the Circuit Court at Annapolis. Defense Counsel Judge Robert Moss wtih Benjamin Michaelson, -stated that the warrants were drawn im- properly in that they named the en- tire crews on one charge. He held that some may not have done what the other did. He asked that individ- ual warrants be returned. Judge Moss then suggested that the warrants from the Police Court be amended and placed against just one man for the purpose of getting a test of the charge, which was agreed to. The amended warrant was agreed upon and State’s Attorney Rowe open- ed the case by citing what he termed the illegal use of nets. Judge Clark said: “We will have to waive some of the technicalities and decide whether this man acted within his rights or violated the law. There is nothing before the - | court, however, except what you gen- tlemen, the State and defense counsel I am willing to pass judgment now so that the men in- volved can return to their work or be restricted from further violation of the law.” This case, all important in the eyes of thousands of anglers, was continued until next week. ‘We are confident of the result, how- ever, as Meyer Rosenbush, of Balti- more, an authority on the Maryland fishing law, is representing the State with State’s Attorney Rowe. In our opinion these men are nothing but purse netters, although they are not closing their nets at the bottom, as is done with the purse net. However, they are killing thousands of game fish in the bay.

Au- gust 24 —With only 126 pounds in the saddle, a feather in comparison with the weight he had been carrying, Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt's Discovery came back to the races with only two days rest today and won the eighth running of the Whitney stakes at Saratogs. Apparently unwearied by a cam- paign that has carried him to almost every major track in the East and Middle West, the big chestnut son of Display, which fell before the lightly burdened Top Row at Narra- gansett Park on Wednesday, merely toyed with his three rivals today in chalking up his ninth victory of the year. Winner Is 1-to-10 Choice. ARRYING 11 pounds less than he packed at Narragansett, Dis- covery ran the 1% miles in 2:04%. At the fnish Jean Bejshak had the son of Display under restraint, but still he was two lengths in front of Mrs. William Zeigler, jr.s, lightly weighted 3-year-old, Esposa. Mrs. Dodge Sloane’s Good Goods was an- other length to the’ rear, wi Hindu Queen, Discovery's stablemate, brought up the rear. Somebody and Firethorn were scratched. Despite his defeat, Discovery went to the post the prohibitive choice at 1 to 10 to win the purse of $3,125 and stretch his earnings for the year to $79,115. He was not long in jus- tifying his odds. Bejshak allowed Esposa to take a long lead in the first quarter of & mile, but the filly’s lead gradually diminished on the Shenandosh is very muddy. At Riverton, both branches of the Shen. andoah are reported muddy. A silver lining appears among the dark clouds for the bass anglers, however, as Capt. Aubrey Shephard informs us that Gunston Cove is per- fectly clear and some fairly good catches being made. He reports that one boat last week returned with 14 | bass, the largest weighing 42 pounds. | Capt. Shephard said that any real | angler will get enough fish to supply a | fine dinner, and that they are being taken with the use of plugs, flies and | | shimmy wigglers. Thursday George | Lilewellyn, fishing in the Cove landed | five bass ranging from 1!z to 2% | pounds. Recently we sent two groups to| | Southwest Middles for a try at the blues. QOne, headed by Dr. Thomas, Linville, started out at daybreak and | reached the fishing grounds around 5 o'clock. This party found the blues| on the surface and landed 13 of them. The other party, consisting of Doran McCarty, John and -Albert Berber, Dave Burrows and Will Fur- mage, all of The Star, followed the| doctor’s party 20 or 30 minutes later | and got among the fish just as they“ were disappearing and landed only 4. | A third party reached the scene after | the fish had gone down and did not get a strike. My experience on South- west Middles has been that the best od. The trouble is to get boatmen | with alewives, Capt. W. W. Woodward at Ken- | wood Beach informs us that big hard- head are returning to the “Gooses™” and that a group of Washingtonians fishing on these grounds landed 170. ‘Two sea trout, one weighing 5 and the | other 7 pounds, completed the catch. This captain was bitter in his com- plaint about the operations of the purse netters in his vicinity. CAPI'. L. L. MIDGETT at Oregon Inlet, N. C, informed us last week that the Fall fishing season has started and that channel bass, blues weighing from 1 to 4 pounds and sea trout are being landed. Channel bass, big sharks, sea trout, kings, flounders, big croakers, etc., are being landed is the report we received from A. H. G. Mears at | Wachapreague, Va. He said that boats were returning with catches of from 50 to 200 fish. Marlin fishing is the sport these days at Ocean City, Md. Last week Joe Spear, local angler, fishing from the Townsend boat Jacpau, landed one of these fighters weighing 60 pounds. He also hooked three more, but lost them. Included in his catch were five dolphin and one 10-pound bonito. i MARINEIGNITION B.Bcry or Magneto Installations LCO LIGHT PLANTS SALES—SERVICE MILLER-DUDLEY; 4 ST.NW. NORTH 1583 OUTBOARD hi speed!
