BPORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. O, FRIDAY, APRIL 26, 1940. SPORTS. Cc—3 Bay Assoc:atlon Announces Largest Program in History of Nearby Yachting 3 Evenls Scheduled On Chesapeake and Its Tributaries Packed Calendar Forces Duplication of Dates; Fans on Increase By MALCOLM LAMBORNE, Jr. ‘The largest racing program in the history of nearby yachting is an- nounced this week by the Chesa- peake Bay Yacht Racing Associa- tion, which has sanctioned a total of 31 events on the bay and tribu- taries for this season, Increased numbers interested in sailing and the coming of age of small boating groups are dominant factors in the unusually heavy racing calendar. In some instances officlals of the bay's important advisory associa- tion have found it necessary to give their blessings to more than one club on the same date when such groups have found other week ends through the summer already taken up by older organizations. The schedule which ranges from & shakedown race to the 160-mile classic from Gibson Island, Md., to Hampton, Va., represents the top- flight events of 20 of the 24 clubs afliated with C. B. Y. R. A. Potomac Sailors Included. Included on the card is the Poto- mac River Sailing Association re- gatta slated for September 14 and 15 and held.in conjunction with the 14th annual President’s Cup Regatta, All of the events listed are for sailing craft, from the big Class A cruising yachts to 10-foot dinghies. .While only two events are listed for next montli—Maryland Yacht Club's shakedown race off Baltimore and Gibson Island Yacht Squad- ron’s Swan Point-Love. Point race, the regatta circuit will go into full | gear in June when the Potapskut Sailing Association, a new group | near Baltimore, holds its second | annual regatta on the 29th and 30th. The long-distance event for the prized Virginia Cruising Cup will get underway off Gibson Island the afternoon of July 4. The same week end Hampton Yacht Club will hold its annual regatta for cruisirg and racing divisions as well as smaller classes. Miles River Event in August. The Miles River Yacht Club re- gatta, often rated the biggest event of the Bay year, is slated for August 1, 2 and 3 off St. Michaels on Mary- land’s Eastern Shore. The following week end the sail- orman’s favorite event—combined races of Chesapeake Bay Yacht Club and Tred Avon Yacht Club—will be held at Oxford, also on the “Shore.” The Advisory Committee of C. B. Y. R. A. has set August*17 as the date of it’s traditional rendezvous and annual dinner. It will be held in conjunction with the annual re- gatta of Annapolis Yacht Club, famed for its hospitality. Feature events include the Porter Houston series for the snipe champ- lonship of the Bay, July 13 and 14 at Sparrows Point, Md.; the J. Rou- lon Miller Memorial series for stars, July 20 and 21 at Gibson Island, and the Gaetina Bowl race for com- ets, August 11 at Oxford. A complete schedule, as announced by C. B. Y. R.

For one thing they make the Maryland trout season last Jjust that much longer. Usually along about the first week in May the fishing goes bad because of low water and warm water, but it won’t be so this year. So far this month we have had average is only 327 inches. precipation, along with the accom- panying high water, has kept many anglers from whipping Maryland streams. That means that many fish still are swimming around that ordinarily would have graced a skil- let long ago. Heavy plantings were made in Hunting Creek two weeks ago and most of the fish still are there. That stream, Fishing Creek and Owens Creek, are the most popular for Washington anglers. They aren’t big streams and a short dry spell makes them low and somewhat warm—poor conditions for fishing. The recent rains, though, will keep them up just that much longer, and the moisture which has FOR FISHING FUN Tips on Casting: 1 By MILTON KRAFT, Natl:rrlal All-Around Champion. That< . in many respects to anglers, haven’t 6.19 inches of rain in this area. The soaked into the ground for the past two weeks will be a month coming out. So you can look forward to | good fishing in Maryland at a time when ordinarily nothing much is| doing. | | Of course, the raln has its bad| | aspects. The Potomac still is a yellow ribbon of flowing mud. That’s bad for the perch fishing, which for two weeks has been at a standstill when it should have been at its height. Likewise rock fishing, which usually begins during the middle of April, still hasn't got- ten under way. The rains also have added to the late winter, which sets back the start of fishing in Chesa- peake Bay. So it looks as though the 20 Years Ago In The Star Walter Johnson, who lost the opening game to Boston, shut out thatteam here before 13,000, 2 to 0. Johnson gave seven hits and fanned five as Sam Rice con- tinued to lead the Griffmen at bat, collecting a single and double. All four local colleges and Cen- tral, Tech and Western will send teams to the Penn relays later this week. Everett Scott, flashy Red Sox shortstop, is but four games from beating the consecutive game record of 533 made by Fred Lu- derus of the Philles. Ssott, who started the streak June 20, 1916, expects to break the mark this week, Rough waters prevented the Navy-Harvard crew races at An- napolis. stream fisherman has gained while the river and bay anglers have lost. That is all right, though, because stream fishing strictly is an early- spring affair, while the bay fishing lasts all summer and river fishing for half of it. You can’t get away from the fact that this has all the appearances of & banner year at Oregon Inlet. One of the earliest of Washington anglers to give it a whirl this season, E. Donald Miller, struck it rich. Fish- ing only from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. —that's four hours—he and two other anglers captured 15 channel Capt. 8. M. Rogers of Manteo was the guide. bass averaging 35 pounds. They went outside the inlet and fished in the smooth waters of the Atlantic instead of the usual practice of work- ing the surf across the inlet ForRe AND AFT Threats of flood allayed, members of Potomac Boat Club were pre- paring to answer the first call for spring practice, opening what promises to another active rowing season. The Georgetown club now is in its 70th consecutive year of one of the oldest water sports in the country. A racing calendar issued this week includes events beginning May 25 in Pittsburgh, Pa., and winding up here on Labor Day. Ir. between are such impartant regattas as the June invitation event expected to attract Richmond,¢- Alexandria and Baltimore oarsmen to Washington, and the classic Peoples Regatta on the Fourth of July in Philadelphia. The Middle States Regatta, concluding the year, will be held on the Potomac. Only the placing of club floats is necessary for the opening of practice, Club President George Hernan states. They should be launched some time next week. Potomac River sailors still were hopeful of getting at least one race on the books before the month closes, following cancellation last Sunday of their opening event as the result of rain and near-flood stages. Unless the river resumes its ugly mood, the spring series will get its start this Sunday at 2:15 p.m. when the 20-footers, first of 7 classes of Potomac River Sailing Association, start off. Other divisions are snipes, comets, penguins and A, B and C handicap classes. The officers who will see Wash- ington Yacht Club through its 30th year as one of the Capital's oldest |5 boating organizations are Paul R % Donley, commodore; 8. W. Frazier, | E vice commodore; James P. Newton, rear commodore; R. H. Hislop, fleet captain; Charles A. Beck, secretary- treasurer, and Emil Kaiser and W. J. Hortman, trustees. ‘The council of the American Pow- er Boat Association has given its approval and official blessing on two new racing classes in this coun- try—the Pacific one-design hydro- plane and the 725-cubic-inch hydro- plane. Oddly enough, both classes originated and gained their popu- larity in the West, the former com- ing into being at San Diego, Calif., and the other, in and around Chi- cago, Il Pacific one-designs are keynoted by a close restriction in design, con- struction and power plant, thus af- fording each owner an even chance in large regattas. There are now over 150 boats of this design in the United States and more are under construction. With the 725s it is a different story. There are no restrictions as to size nor construction of the hull, excepting that only bona fide racing hydroplanes are eligible. Any type of motor within the displacement limits of 488 to 732 cubic inches is permitted. Officials point out the boat is distinct from the Gold Cup class although able to compete in "that division. By the Associated Press. BALTIMORE, April 26.—The Maryland State Game and Fish Protective Associaticn has started out to raise a lot of fish with a shotgun. Keystone of the association’s first privately financed trout hatch- ery, which formally will be opened April 30, js a $150 shotgun being raffled off to provide funds for the project. Federal and State agencies will furnish some 2,500 6 to 8 inch trout and assist in supplying food for them. The association will keep the fish until possibly next December, then stock the largest in Baltimore County streams. Site of the hatchery is the farm of John Horner, near Loch Raven in Baltimore County. A dam has been built to divert water into an old mill-race, where che trout will be raised. Joseph W. Brooks. jr.chairman of the association’s Fresh-Water Fish Committee, had charge of the project, working in co-operation with Charles Jackson, acting chiet of the Federal Bureau of Fisheries, and Glen Leach, fish culturist from the bureau. The shotgun which made the Shotgun Main Help in Raising Fish for Old-Line Anglers hatchery possible is hanging in the office of Frank Bentz, of the State Game and Inland Fish Commis- sion, which is co-operating with the assoclation in the work. Shad Scarce, but Rock And Herring Abound HEATHSVILLE, Va., April 26 (). —Fishermen along the Virginia shore of the Potomac report that few shad have arrived in. northern neck waters this spring because of the cold weather. Most of the catches so far have consisted largely of herring and rock. Big Trout Is Snagged In Lake in Maine A 23-pound 12-ounce lake trout was caught in Moosehead Lake, Me., recently by Harley Budden of Greenville. Budden said the fish differed in appearance from the native Moose- head Lake togue, and thought it might be one of the Lake &g'perior variety introduced into the lake several years ago by the State De- partment of Inland Fisheries arf Game, Buy. the TROUT LINE Diesel Yacht Bargain New members to the Executive Committee of P.
