SPORTS. CHARS T0BE SOLD AT 40 CENTS A DAY Boxes With Accommoda- tions for Six Bring $13.20. Crook Is Entered. BY BILL DISMER, JR. HERE, when and how the general public can make arrangements to see one of the country's greatest shnual boating carnivals—the Presi- dent’s Cup Regatta, which will be Held here September 24-27—have been made known, just about completing plans of the Regatta Committee, which has been working on the coming classic for nearly a year. . For boxes accommodating six per- sons and a table for refreshments, a price of $13.20 is being asked, which, when knocked down to indi- vidual proportions amounts to 55 cents a “show"—three days of racing and the night pageant of September 25. Those not desiring to purchase tick- ets for the entire regatta may pur- chase individual chairs, unreserved, for 40 cents a day, with Friday's ducats being good for the pageant that evening. Tickets to the night | ‘pageant alone will be 25 cents. Perhaps the biggest social event of the four-day gathering of the Nation’s outstanding drivers and water sports- men will be the President’s Cup Re- gatta banquet which will be held at the National Press Club on Saturday night, September 26. Tickets for the effair which will include an entertain- ment and dance, are selling for $3 a plate. Reservations for the banquet, however, will close Tuesday night. Boxes Now on Sale. BOXES for the regatta are on sale at the regatta headquarters at the Willard. They will be reserved over the telephone at National 4420, branch 111, or by Frank Brown, as- sistant vice chairman of the Reviewing Committee, at District 2370. All other tickets may be obtained from the following places: American Automobile Association ticket bureau, Mills Building, Seventeenth and G streets northwest; Keystone Automo- bile Club, 1643 Connecticut avenue | northwest; Mrs. Dorsey’s ticket bureau (Droop’s Music Store), Thirteenth | and G streets northwest; Shoreham, Mayflower and Wardman Park Hotels and Woodward & Lothrop's. John B. Remon, president of the Regatta Committee, has announced that bus service will be instituted from central points throughout the city, enabling ticket holders to reach their seats without driving their automobiles to the regatta scene. Because of the traffic jam expected, all car owners are urged to leave their cars at home. Crook Brings Betty V. A‘\KOI\G the racing drivers who nre‘ signing up for the regatta in in- | creasing numbers are Melvin Crook of New York, who will pilot his famous Betty V in the American speedboat championship race, the closing event of the regatta two weeks from this &fternoon. This boat, a single-engine hydro- plane, has attained the amazing speed of 82 miles per hour, which still stands as a world record in its class, Another well-known speedboat driv- er who will be much in evidence is +Jack Dunn of Miami. Dunn has thrilled spectators by his daring driv- ing in Gold Cup races here before and this year he is out to capture the Pres- ident’s Cup with his speedy Jay Dee He also will be a strong contender the 225 hydroplane class with his Jay Dee II L Star Sailboats Missing. IN FACT, the only disappointing set- back the committee has experienced was in its inability to get a group of ; star sailboats to compete. Neither the “United States Naval Academy nor the . Coast Guard Academy, the principal sponsors of the star boats, are able to send their craft. The comet boats, of which Wash- ington has an abundance, are a modi- fied form of star boats, however, and probably will prove as popular on September 25 and 26 as they have been throughout the Summer. Incidentally, members of the Po- tomac River Sailing Association will get in a few final practice licks for the regatta when they start their Fall series of races one week from today. A double-header will inaugurate the new series, with the first race starting at 10:30 o’'clock next Sunday morning and the second at 2:05 o'clock that -afternoon. Comets, moths and class A and class B boats all will race, "HEURICH TO BATTLE * SHADY GROVE AGAIN After Second Victory in City Se- ries—Simpsons, Radios Slated to Clash.

The contest, incidentally, ended the local season, the Nats leaving immediately after the game for their last Western trip. Bill Carrigan, manager of the championship Boston Red Sox, has announced that he will retire at the end of the current season re- gardless of the outcome of the American League race. But two games separate the leading Boston Red Sox from the third place Chicago White Sox in the American League campaign, while only one more divides the National League-leading Brooklyn Robins from the third-place Bos- ton Braves.

By the Associated Press. NNAPOLIS, Md., September 12. —A Gibson Island yachtsman brought his star boat across the finish line today ahead of Marine Corps and Navy entries at the sailing races which marked the 50th anniversary of the Severn Yacht Club.

Edwards Wins Maryland Feature. By tne Associated Press. ALTIMORE, September 12.— W. 8. Edwards of Riverside, Conn., won the Greening-Duft International Speedboat Tro- phy today at the Maryland Yacht Club’s National Anthem Regatta. Driving his 255-cubic-inch hydro- plane, La Cucuracha, Edwards won the trophy by turning in the best time for & single heat in the three- heat race over a 5-mile course on the Patapsco River. His best time was 9 minutes 5.6 seconds. Edwards won on a single heat, the second. Ray Campbell ‘of Toronto, Canada, driving his Marguerite V, won the first and third heats, but could not match Edwards’ time. Dr. Cecil Bagley, commodore of the club, from whose possession the trophy he won last year on Lake On- tario now passes, was fourth in all three heats, in his Wilmer IIL Harold H. Wilson of Ontario, pilot- ing Little Miss Canada, was third in every heat. Campbell beat out Ed- wards in the first and third heats and trailed him in the second. A spectacular spill in which John H. Slade, jr. of Philadelphia received painful injuries marked the second heat. Shade’s Boat Overturns. SHADE‘S Lippy II overturned and struck him. Suffering a fractured rib and other injuries, Shade received first-aid treatment on the Coast Guard cutter, Apache, then went to & hose pital, Roland Geary of Baltimore, driving the Scrappy, and his mechanic, Al Blumberg, got & ducking when the boat overturned and sank in the first heat. A patrol boat picked them up. Edison Hedges of Atlantic City, N. J, in his Eagle, won first place on points in the 91-cubic-inch class, run concurrently with the 135-cubic- inch-class boats. Byron Russell of Long Beach, N. J, driving the Rustle, won the latter class race. John L. Hyde, jr., Washington, D. C., placed second in the 91-cubic-inch division, in the Winkle III, and Fred Hahn of Philadelphia took runner-up homors in the 135-cubic-inch class, piloting Baby Pep.

GRID SQUAD ENLISTS LEE CARLIN Former G. W. U. Star Will Drill | in Squad of 20 Today at Seat Pleasant. AUGMENTED by the addition of Lee Carlin. former George Wash- ington star who was signed Friday, the Maryland Athletic Club gridmen will resume practice this afternoon at 1 o'clock at Duffy Stadium, Seat Pleas- ant. Twenty are expected to report. From now until September 27, when they invade Richmond for their open- ing game in the Dixie League, the local gridmen will drill three nights a week and on Sundays. Victory in the curtain raiser would give the team a flying start toward the league cham- pionship, inasmuch as Richmond fig- ures to have one of the strongest clubs in the circuit. The title will be decided on = straight percentage basis. A motion to play two halves, the winners meet- ing in a post-season game for the championship, was voted down. League. standings will be decided on a basis of two points for each victory, and one for each tie. With virtually the same club that sported its colors last season intact, Maryland is conceded a good chance of copping the flag. Gene Auguster- fer, Frank Cumberland, Dick Nelson, all backs; Bill Andorka, Kats Kata- linas and Luther Goldman, linemen, were outstanding last season and are expected to come through with an- other great campaign. Several additions have been made, Hal McGann, former Catholic Uni- versity star, being the most notable.

TRAILER HEADQUARTERS | BY PAUL J. MILLER, Jr, Sacred to the Memory of Alezander McDonnell (Formerly of Belfast), Who died 14th September, 1335, Aged 37 Years. "Tis a simple inscription and it tells the chance visitor to Kensal Green Cemetery, London, nothing of the greatness of the man who has been sleeping there exactly 101 years to the day come Monday. But on the Island of St. Helena, I am told, there is another grave, char- acterized by simplicity and on the sun-bleached slab of marble is only a single word—Napoleon. Yet all the world knows a bit of the story of the amazing career of this empire-mad genius, now venerated for his ex- traordinary military acumen. Alexander McDonnel, like Napo- lean, was a fighter. But his battle fleld was the chessboard, and the one thing the two had in common was their mutual love for chess—and there the comparison ends. Near the chapel in the Kensal Green Cemetery is the grave of a Frenchman, a humble affair, marked only by a common headstone, upon which you may read these words: Louis Charles de Labourdonnais, The Celebrated Chess Player, Died 13th December 1840, Aged 43 Years. And this is the story ... In 1834, the Irishman, Me- Donnell, was conceded to be one of Britain's greatest living chess players. Across the Eng- lish Channell was France, boasting the remowned French master, De Labourdonnais. It was arranged that the two chess paladins should meet at the West- minster Club on the Thames Em- bankment for a series of six matches, 88 games in all. According to the spirit of the times, the winner would be the unofficial chess champion of the world. Louis Labourdonnais emerged from the titanic struggle victorious, with 44 wins. Alexander McDonnell had scored 30 wins and there were 14 draws. Possibly it was the strain under which he labored, perhaps it was the delicate nature of his physical being, but in all probability the gall of de- feat sapped McDonnell's will to live, and death claimed him within a 1ew months after Louis de Labourdonnais had whispered softly his final “check- mate!” An Immortal Game. AL!VXNG testament to the glory of the Belfast Irishman is the orilliant sacrifice of his Queen after the 13th move in the 15th of the 88- game series at the Westminster Chess Club, 1834. Astute H, W, Hawks, in an article on the McDonnell centenary, 1935, in the English paper, Newcastle Chron- icle, sdys: “In the contests, of all times, for the world’s' championship, this game has rarely, if ever, been surpassed, for the grandeur of its Queen sacri- fice. It has been rightly included among the imperishable immortals.” Queen's Gambit Accepted. Labourdennals, Labourdonnals. MecDonnell, MeDonnell. Black, White.

Hitch-hiking Abe Seidenberg of the University of Maryland says it is time for the round-up of teams of five, representing schools, colleges and busi- ness in the District. As chess pro- motion director of the Metropolitan Chess Association, Abe requests that the teams line up immediately, send in their official quintet with names of alternates and captain, and start training in earnest for the fast-step- ping competitive team tournament, the winner to put a leg on the first loving cup trophy to be awarded by the as- sociation.

KIEL, Germany, September 12 (#).— Totring members of the American Olympic swimming team met with mixed success in a meet here today. Their failure to make a better showing was aitributed to fatigue after a long series of appearances in Scandinavian countries.
