T race, the first of two for the % the floating pipe organs, will only be a forerunner of the second most important race of the regatta on Sunday, when the first 10 high- point scoring boats of the country will compete for the brand-new John Charles Thomas Trophy, put into competition for the first time by the famous international singer. Thomas, & boating enthusiast, will be among the front-row spectators. But tomorrow’s national race will come only after the all-Washington Sweepstakes has determined the fastest driver in local waters, starting at 4:10 o'clock. Andy Crawford’s Zippy II is the favorite to retain for its fast-stepping owner the crown of the Cepital’s speedboat king over the only two other contestants now en- tered—John L. Hyde, jr, and Gard- ner P. Orme. Spectators also will see tomorrow the first two heats for the President’s Cup, the race which brings into com- petition the rich gold cup boats and some on which thousands of dollars have been spent. Phe first heat will be run at 3 o'clock, with the second 8t 4:40 o'clock. Amateurs Start Early. - IA Lh «Qifethege -three -laiter races will follow the final heats for the class A, B, C and midget outboard amatesrs, which start a half-hour after noon. The little outboards will compete in that order, with each class running its trial and final heat before the next class takes to the waves. Professional drivers of these same classes of boats, headed by Fred Jacoby, jr, of Ngrth Bergen, N. J. national professional champion, will not compete until Sunday, starting at 11 o'clock. The 91-135 cubic-inch hydroplanes also will stage their championship race tomorrow at 3:30 o'clock, with Hyde and Orme the only Washing- ton entrants among the present field of seven. By far the largest entry list for any HA]LING from six different States they are La Cucaracha of Phi{p Geis of Greenwich, Conn.; Miss Man- teo of H. A. Greef of Manteo, N. C.; Zatso of Dr. R. E.

Di Maggio, most sensational rookie of the year, shows an average of .328 for 134 games. As run producers they still are evenly matched.

Travis Jackson, a much-needed rest. Upon the ability of these two vet- of the pennant bat- characteristic defensive ge- t yielding whenever possible to Leslie. B FLANKING Dick Bartell and Bur- gess Whitehead, probably the best double-play combination in either major league, Terry and Jackson give the Giants a defensive edge over the Yankee infleld. The question is ‘whether that will be the pay-off. The Yankees have s clear margin of su- periority in speed and hitting power in the combination consisting of Red Rolfe, Prankie Crosetti, Tony Lasseri and Lou Gehrig. The succulent statistics show, for example, that three of the four. Giant infield regulars have better flelding records than their rivals, whereas three of the four Yankee inner work- ers enjoy a decided edge in stickwork. The ankee inflelders have driven in more than 400 runs. The Giants, on the other hand, have a margin in the double play department.
