TWO-DAY GRUSES | MARK WEEK ENDS Canoe Club Will Be Host Saturday to Paddlers of Middle States. BY BILL DISMER, Jr. EEK END captains of Wash- ington’s big power boat flotilla to a large extent took advantage of the holi- day yvesterday to get in an extra day on their weekly cruises, and with the sbsence of any organized trip by any local group were free to pilot their eraft wherever they pleased Even the threat of rain over the week end failed to stop manp an- chors from being weighed. as these amateur pilots rose to the role of sea- soned skippers, defying the elements from stopping their favorite sport over | the Fourth * Many of them left Friday night. for | two nights and days at sea, while countless others pulled out from their channel anchorage and private moor- ings to start their week end yesterday morning. As happened once before this year, on May 30, occur once again, on Labor day, the holidays are so arranged that they combine with Sunday to present two days free from the cares of business. 21 Events on Canoe Program. UT while these pilots of motor- | driven runabouts are engaged in an extra order of their hobby this week end, two other classes of aqua- tic devotees are looking forward to next week end and the one after that as periods for special attention to| canoeing and swimming. Next Saturday, Washington Canoe Club again will be host in an event of | intersectional proportions as it en- tertains canoeists from Philadelphia and Briston (Pa.) in the Middle States divisional championships of the Amer- | jcan Canoe Association. The chem- pionships will be in the nature of trials for the national canoe championships at Cleveland on July 26, the first three place winners in each event next Sat- urday qualifving for the nationals. Altogether, 21 events are on the Pprogram, embracing r, inter- mediate and senior paddlers, who will start the competition at 1:30 o'clock. In the same event last vear, W. fngton Canoe Club far out rest of the field, winning with a total of 68 points—21 more than the sec- ond-place Cacawa Club of Phila- delphia could mu: Cacawa is coming this Saturday with a stronger team, it is rumored. while Potomac Boat Club will enter a formidable aggregation. The Y. M. C. A. from Briston is xpected to enter the fourth contender for intersectional honors. With Harry Knight and Johnny Long expected to maintain Wash- ington Canoe’s stock at the top of the market, the host club also ex- pected to make a strong bid for junior honors with a all but capable group of youngst who are paddling this vear for the first time. Gray and Havens Team. <D GRAY and Bill Havens are team- ing together in the junior tandem doubles while Gray and Havens also are in the junior foursome which in- cludes Kenneth Ronjue and Jimmy Caton. ~Bill Rhodes and Russell Swan compose the junior crew of the tan- dem doubles event. Besides working together genior tandem doubles. Knight and Long form half of the four-man #ingle blade crew, uniting with Dick Acker and Ed Trilling. Knight re- cently was named to America’s Olym- pic canoe team, a tribute veteran who likely will be the sec- ond oldest competitor in the 1936 international games. Strong opposition in the tandem singles is expected from the Cacawa group, of which two chaps of the name of Cimokosy and Krick are out- | gtanding. Philadelphia is said also | to have a good junior four-man singles crew. And while the canoe club is pre- paring for its second major event of the season, Potomac Boat Club is putting the finishing touches on its reconditioning campaign, to be ready | for its water carnival, tentatively | scheduled for July 18. Runways of | in the fhe club are being finished and when | the work is completed the club will have a new 80-foot float in front. A house-warming will be a part of the carnival, but swimming, diving and other individual demonstrations will form the major part of the for- mal opening.

Recently a small booklet titled “Vanguard Chess,” by H. Roberts Keely of New York City, was copyrighted. Briefly the new chess motif is to in- crease the chessboard from 64 to | 100 squares and to strengthen white | and black forces by the addition of a queenly-appearing piece, termed al vanguard. Each side has two van- guards and two additional pawns. In movement, the vanguards are estricted to either the king or queen’s half of the chessboard, each hnl( being subdivided into two provA ELECTRICITY AT ANY TIME FOR YOUR BOAT, COTTAGE, GARAGE, OR SHOP WITH THE NEW “LITTLE JOE DELCO PORTABLE—ECONOMICAL Electric ngM Plant v hownt $57.50 MARINE IGNITION REPAIRS Battery, Magneto Installations Chess | sports.

The inventor claims the new variation discourages the Fabian tactics now so common | in Queen’s chess, obviates ultra-con- | servative play, and paves the way for | a new series of chess openings that will rejuvenate the interest of those chess masters who for years have deplored orthodox chess as becoming too standardized and the openings | too stereotyped.

The | result immediately was protested. The Greef boat won the second heat of the event in 50.6 miles per hour after Harry S. Ekloff, driving his Restless II, had captured the first heat of the race with an average speed of 45 miles an hour. EKIoff protested the award of the cup to Greef, claiming that two post- | ponements of the second heat caused | his engine to foul and thereby keep him out of that heat. Williamson Yacht Ahead. JOHN WILLIAMSON of the Gib- | son Island, Md. Yacht Club, was adjudged winner of the annual yacht | race from Baltimore Light to Old | Point Comfort, an event which served | as a prelude to the regatta. Twenty boats which entered the race pulled across the finish line at Old Point Comfort today after a journey which started at Baltimore Light, 2 miles east of Gibson Island, on Thursday night. The sloop Mirage, owned and sailed by A. K. Fisher of Beverly, N. J, was the first one across. But when handicaps had been com- puted, Williamson was found the | winner by a margin of 20 seconds over the Sea Witch, a yawl owned and piloted by Albert G. Ober, jr. | W. and M. Stllden!

Robert Rowland of South Norfolk, Va, student at Willam and Mary College, won both heats of the race | for Class B outboards this morning, | but could not better the national in- | tercollegiate record, which he made | at Richmond, last week.

Harry Woodburn's cruiser, the Doris. This only goes to show that the men folk have no monopoly when it comes to taking the big ones from the nearby salt waters. There are plenty of prize fish down there and they are uot diffi- cult to catch. When you do bring in one bigger than usual enter it in the contest, and even though you may not win you will have had all the fun of being in the runmng EARLY all boalmen have entry blanks on their boats, and all you need do is fill it in and mail it to | Max Chambers, the associaticn’s sec- retary, over at Easton, Md. If you win {in the monthly contest you will be notified shortly after August 1. and & list of wiraers will be published in these columns. It is also a good idea to enter your big fish In the national contest <pon- sored for the last 25 years by the | magazine, Field and Stream. Many | an angler has failed to enter his catch thinking it would not be large enou gh to take & prize, and at the end of the season has seen someone else walk off with a trophy which could have been his. Washington anglers have a good chance of winning some of the na- tional prizes, and if they cau first place they may take any one of | the nine prizes offered in each ciass. | Of course, we can't hope to be 2ven in the running in the musky, trout and bass sections, unless we travel them, but some of the other classifications are right up our alley. Last year the largest blue was caught near here in Chesapeake Bay. We also have a chance in the weakfish and channel bass divisions. At Cape Charles the big bass have been running up to al- most unprecedented sizes and num- bers, and last year's record aiready | has been broken. OTHER place in which we might be represented is the striped bass class. These rockfish, as known around here, get to ne quite big fellows in some places. Last y Field and Stream prize Was won Wi a 53!,-pounder caught up in R Island. Early last month a pounder was caught in the Potomac River by commercial fishermen, in a net, but it might just as well have been taken with rod and reel. There's a provision in the Maryland State law which prohibits retaining rockfish weighing more than 15 pounds Entry blanks for your big fish can be clipped from any e of Field Stream. or can be obtained from the | Atlas Sports Store. SOA\{E tips on the use of for beginners A fly rod usually is from 8 to 9'2 feet long. The best are made of split bamboo, but some steel ones are in use. The reel is placed behind the grip, instead of above it, as on other rods. A single-action reel gen- erally is used. Light whippy rods are for trout, the heavier, stiffer ones for bass. es of fly lines are used enameled or shed to facilitate their movement through the guides and to make them water- proof. The “level-lire” is the same diameter throughout its length; the “double-taper” has the center part much heavier than the ends fly rods | from the water leader. For light flys and trout fish- ing the leader should not be over four-pound test; for bass fishing, using heavier bugs, it may be up to eight pounds. Dry flies are fished on the surface of the water and usually upstream; wet fiys are fished underwater and usually downstream. BOUT 25 or 30 feet of line will serve as a starter. This is drawn out through the guides, some of the slack being taken up with the left hand, the rod being held in the right hand. With a smart upward snap of the wrist bring the rod tip to a point above and slightly to the right of the shoulder. The line will fly back over your shoulder. A moment's pause, and the rod is flicked forward. Release some of the slack in your left hand and it will shoot through the guides, the fly describing a beau- | tiful arc through the air and will drop lightly on the water. Never let all the line go from your left hand; this will assist hooking the fish on the strike. A word of caution—never use your fly rod as a derrick to lift your fish 1f you have no net pick up your catch either by the line or by a finger through a gill. OVERTURNED CANOE SHOULD BE REFUGE Paddlers Urged Not to Swim Off After Mishap, but Cling to Capsized Craft. THE recent drownings of canoeists in the Potomac have made timely once again the old advice of sea- soned water travelers as to what to do when canoes tip over: Hold on to the canoe. Don't swim away. The craft, though overturned, will not sink and will provide safety until aid comes. Though the flimsiest of craft, when considering stability, a canoe’s buoyancy gives it a life-saving quality, even when upside down. Scores of paddlers have been | drowned throughout the country al- ready this year by attempting to get back to port after their canoes had overturned. The sudden fear which came with being thrown into the water left them unconscious «f the fact that safety was theirs, if they'd only not give up the ship. BOATMEN LOSE FRIEND Late Senator Fletcher Was Ardent in Protection of Craft. Boating lost a stanch supporter in the recent death of Senator Duncan U. Fletcher of Florida.
