Fonda Makes Remarkable Record to Rule Nation’s Outboard Aces

ENDS TWO-YEAR
REIGN OF HU
Mark of Comparative Rookie
in Racing Game Might
Stand for Years.
BT MALCOLM LAMBORNE, .!R.
HILE bigger boats roarei
over the Potomas this aft
ernoon in the second da;
of competition in th
President's Cup regatta a new cham
pion reigned over the folk who gaii
their thrill from the little put-puts.
Out there on the placid Potomac
but not smooth enough to see the bet
tering of any world records—when th
noisy drama ended yesterday, the two
year rule of Fred Jacoby of Nortl
Berger. N. J„ as America's outboari
high scorer was terminated by at
amateur with only two years of ex
tensive racing experience, Doug Fondi
of Orange, N. J., who swept the clas
A and C events.
By wide margins we mean the re
markable leeway of 2.855 points, 2,02,
of which were rolled up in some 61
minutes of wave-bouncing arounc
the 46-year-old Coast Guard cutte
Apache. Fonda triumphed. Without i
doubt the greatest feat in motor-boa
racing, the industrial banker fron
Orange, in his Miss Ricochet,, couli
retire safely for a number of years am
be assured his season's total points o
35,392 would stand unmatched.
ms >it'iuiies >ituru,
■DUT not alone in the A and C race
J ■* did he gather those precious tal
lies. He took a third in the final hea
for the B's, a second in the first heal
for the class F and would have doni
better than a fourth in this final raci
but for mistaking Andy Duffy's start
ing flag.
Mrs. Mary Daller. one of the 10 lead
ing drivers for the Rochester Trophy
awarded to the one making the besl
score in only two classes of a sanc
tioned regatta, stood next in outboarc
history written yesterday by virtue o:
first* in the midget division and th<
free-for-all handicap, the latter in i
field of 12 crack speedsters.
Driving her tiny Lolly Pop fron
Chester, Pa., Mrs, Daller, one of few
women professionals, slipped out ir
front before the start of the seconc
lap for the midget class, which hac
11 starters, and won handily ovei
Frances Defibaough of Woodside, Del
In the nightcap event, the free-for-all
she showed the way to Dick Neal o
Kansas City, Mo., the boy who landec
on top in the professional C class ant
iecond in the flashy F division.
Fastest speed of the day, that in thi
super-noisv class F, went to sword
fish-bow craft of Bob Guttmann frorr
out Manitowoc way in Wisconsin. Ht
was clocked at 52.631 m.p.h. for ths
three laps of 5 miles, which all but the
midgets raced, in that final for the F's
Wullschleger Lurkless.
'THERE was a real tough-luck yarr
1 to be told back at the pits ovei
rear the Washington Airport. Arthui
Wullschleger, the Cornell Jonah, came
out in front for the amateur class B
only to find he had been disqualified
for beating the gun. Then in the class
C event, going great guns, all of a
sudden he found his boat going from
under him while he fetched up in the
chilly river.
Young Gar Wood, jr., was looked
for as each event rolled around, but
his three outboard jobs shipped down
at the last minute along with mechan
ics remained unused at the pits. Ap
parently. the lad from Michigan had
missed plane connections.

: GIANTS FEARFUL
AGAINST DODGERS
i
—
I League Leaders Wary De
1 spite Nine-Game Losing
Streak of Enemies.
5 BY SID FF.DER.
Associated Press Sports Writer.
BILL TERRY has his finger*
crossed: "Boiling Boily” Grimes
has his tongue in his cheek,
and Brooklyn's drooping (but
still daffv Dodgers are ready to give
their all to make history repeat for
dear old Gowanus.
Anything can happen now. The
Giants, sporting a 3'2-game edge and
i seemingly headed for the National
| League pennant, tangle with the
Dodgers In a series opening today.
And the Brooklyns, woefully struggling
with a nine-game losing streak, would
like nothing better than to beat their
best-loved enemies right out of the
| picture.
The fact that the Dodgers fell over
■ and played dead in 12 out of 17 previ
I ous starts with the Giants this year
i doesn't mean a thing. When Bill
j Terry asked “are the Dodgers still In
I this league?” three years ago, he
I started an all-time feud—and the
Brooklyn beauties never will stop their
: hating.
New Flatbush Clowns.
r|”HERE are a lot of new characteri
i in the Brooklyn comedy cast since
the Dodgers replied to Terry's 1934
I jibe by clubbing the Giants out of the
| pennant, but the spirit's still the same.
Once a Dodger, always a Dodger—as
much a part of base ball as “strike
three, yer out”—works in reverse, and
the present Gowanus Groaners, from
Grimes down to the humblest ripe
j fruit-throwing fan, still nurse the
grudge.
There was no change in the National
| League picture on yesterday's pro
I gram. The Giants, traveling in from
; the West, had the day off. The Cubs,
three and one-half games behind in
second place, had a date with the Car
dinals, but rain in St. Louis washed
it out after an inning of play.
In the American League, meantime,
the Yankees began the polishing proc
ess on their big guns and defenses for
the start of the world series less than
two weeks off by topping the Red Sox,
5-1, in their first start as 1937 pennant
winners.
They had their hands full doing it,
however. Archie McKain stopped
them with one run through the first
eight innings, in the ninth, however,
Archie got himself in hot water and
lost the ball game, when, with the
bases loaded and two out. Red Rolfe
smashed a booming triple Into right
field that wrecked the game.
Yanks 97th Win of the Year.
r|''HE win was the Yanks' ninety
seventh of the year and gave, them
a lead of 13 games over the second
place Detroit Tigers, who met up with
Denny Galehouse on one of his few
good days of the season and were
whipped. 2-1, by the Cleveland In
dians. Denny downed the Detroits
with five hits.
In the only other game on the pro
gram the Cincinnati Reds, looking like
something out of any class D circuit
you can name, made four errors in one
inning and mere trampled by the Pi
rates, 8-2. Every other club in the big
show had a holiday,
FOUR PIN TEAMS TIED
W. Petara and Tanka leader* in
Terminal Ice League.
Four teams, boasting undefeated
records, are tied for the leadership of
the Terminal Ice Bowling League.
They are the Yanks, Pirates, Cubs
and Browns. All swept through their
first two matches without the loss of
a game.
i W. Peters is leading individually
with an average of ill and also has

Cecil Advances to Third,
and Johnny to Second
Place During Week.
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 25.—
Johnny Mize of the Cardinals ,
and Cecil Travis of the Sena
tors stole most of the spotlight j
In the big-league hitting parade in the :
past week, although neither figures to |
take the batting titles from Ducky j
Medwick or Charley Gehringer, re-'
spectively.
Mize, who is having a better sopho
more year than his spectacular fresh-1
man season, collected 14 hits in 29
chances for a season average of .359.
and took second place in the National
League from both Gabby Hartnett of
the Cubs and Paul Waner of the Pi- 1
rates.
Travis, comebacking after falling out
of the American League rare several
weeks ago. boosted his mark to .350 j
and marched into third place, over
Joe Di Maggio of the Yanks.
Medwick's Lead Safe.
T\/f EDWICK. his slump ended, trav
x eled at a .400 clip and raised his
National League leading mark to .376.
With a 17-point bulge over his second
place teammate, Mize, there seems to
be little chance that Medwick will be
overtaken in the last week of play.
Gehringer’s hot pace of recent weeks
slowed somewtaat and he dropped seven
points to .378, getting only 10 hits in
35 chances, but he retained a 25-point
lead over second-place Lou Gehrig of
the Yankees, and figured to breeze in
with his first American League cham
pionship.

CHESS clocks are moet essential
for formal tournament play
and in this country apparent
ly only one or two firms man
ufacture these special game timepieces.
Perchance a reader of this column
is aware a chess clock manufac
turer that' produces an economical
product. If so. please advise, as the
Metropolitan Chess Association has
immediate need of several.
Tomorrow’s column in The
Star will carry details concern
ing the special 3-point pro
gram of tournament activity
announced by Simon Naidel,
tournament director of the
Washington Social Chess Divan.
The interesting characteristic of this
tournament plan evolved by Naidel is
that it is adaptable to the needs of
any chess club in the District or else
where where the membership averages
at least 30 players.
/"'ENERAL tourney play under the
3-point program probably will be
every Tuesday evening at the Park
side Hotel.
The major tournament for the
championship is scheduled for Sat
urday evenings, with alternate play
on Thursdays.
The official meeting of the mem
bership of the Divan is every Wednes
day, 8 p.m., 1336 I street northwest
at the Social Chess Lounge.
Any chess club or group In
the District may hold private
club meetings at the Social
Cheea Lounge on any night
other than Wednesday by ar
rangement with the director,
District 3230.
VLTITH the torrid days of September
practically over, the evenings are
more conducive to chess-play as Is
evidenced by the swelling of the
Divan’s membership recently by the
addition of 14 new members, bring
ing the active list to a total of 54,
the largest exclusive chess “club” in
the District.
John W. Dubin and Lewis R. Lang
have become loyal boosters of the
Divan. ,
Shortly, G. B. Jones moves to
Baltimore while L. Paul Miller
departs from the city for a pro
longed stay, thus sapping the
Divan of two splendid players.
Teams C and D in the quintet bat
tle are forging slowly through their
schedule, present scoring being 30%—
12%. Robert Feeney and William Rey
nolds are neck and neck for honors
in the quintet play-off, the winner
to sit in with the Clsss A veterans
in the forthcoming Major Tournament
for the Divan championship.
Norval Wigglnton, chess director
of the W. s. C. D„ is a bit Jittery
nowadays as Sir Stork may pause at
tha Wiggnf&vn mansion any hour.
Ah, the suspense.

Annapolis Team Is Primed I
for Upset—Cards Off to
Meet Canisius.
WITH apparently only the
passing combination of *
Johnny Lambros to Len De
i Lisio to fear. Maryland's *
; 1837 gridiron edition was to be ons 1

napolis. i
While Maryland inaugurated the 1
local collegiate season, Catholic Uni
versity* squad was on its way to Buf- t
falo, N. Y . where the Card* will face
a crack Canisius outfit tomorrow. t
Maryland expected to win by at .
least two touchdowns despite the pres- 1
ence of Lambros, one of the smoothest i
passers in this sector, and De Lisio. a t
former Central High lad who lias per
formed capably for the Johnnies.
Johnnies Had Rig Season.
<gT. JOHN'S, which was defeated
20-0. by the Terps last year and
then compiled seven straight victories ,
to go undefeated over the remainder
of the season, was primed for an upset
and determined to stop Jumbo Jim i
Meade, triple-threat back.
The Old Liners, however, still figured
to employ the game as a tune-up for
important scraps, with a bulky line
due to play an important role in shak
ing loose Meade. Bud Hewitt, Charley
Weidinger and Prank DeArmev.
Coach Dutch Bergman and his staff
chaperoned 25 players to Buffalo, but
the Cardinal mentor anticipates using
few outside the starting line-up if
Canisius is as strong as reported.
Canisius last year won seven of eight ! ,
games and has a veteran aggregation
this season.

HOOKES TO finish'

Bioodworth, Wasdel!. Case
and Slab Recruits Will
Round Out Season.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN.
JUST playing out the string and ,
holding only the slimmest of
chances to move up a notch in
the team standing before the
season ends, the Nats today opened a
two-game series with the Athletics.
Fifth place, currently occupied bv
the Red Sox. is out of reasonable
reach. Only by winning 10 of the
remaining 12 games, while Boston
loses 9 of Its last. 13. can the Oriffmen
sneak into a higher bracket. They
might just as well have first-division 4
notions for Boston is out of fourth
place by only half a game.
But the ambition to surge ahead
this year is not uppermost with Mana
ger Bucky Harris, who is too sane a
base ball man to expect miracles. To
day Harris was to send Ray Phebus
to the box against the As in his
fourth major league start. Tomorrow
Joe Kohlman. the sensational hurler of
the Salisbury club of the Eastern
Shore League, will be unveiled. •
Phebus Ig Surprise Package.
pHEBUS has not been gening murh
of the play among the rookies but,
it may develop that Ray, a stocky
right-hander, will prove the prize of
the crop. Off his three starting per
formance*. plus a neat relief bit, he
deserves more attention than he has
received. But, somehow, most of the
headlines have gone to Ken Chase
and Joe Krakauskas and Ray has been
more or less taken for granted.
Like Chase and Krakky, the recent
graduate of Chattanooga has lost only ,
one major league game. That was to
Lefty Gomez of the Yankees. Rav
tossed a five-hitter at the world cham
pions. but lost, 2 to 1. He defeated
the Browns In another start, saved a
game against the Athletics, and won
a one-hit shutout over the Red Sox.
Umpire Bill Summers is one who
has been impressed particularly with
Phebus’ work. Sitting In the stands
at Griffith Stadium the other night
! with Harry Geisel, as they watched '
l the local soft ball debut of Joe Louis,
Summers had occasion to identify Phe
bus to his fellow ump as he walked by.
"I worked his game against the Red
Sox and again when he faced the
Yankees." said Summers. "He's really
got something on the ball, that fellow."
Guerra Is Let Out.
jyOHLMAN is regarded by Harris as
by far the brightest of the Eastern
Shore League prospects. Joe. who
hurled two no-hit, po-run games for
I the Salisbury club during the season
I just closed, has been working out with
i the Nats for several days. According*
! to Bucky, and quoting Harris, he “has
| shown plenty.”
For the rest of the season, or ac
j cording to Bucky's current plans. Jim
j my Bioodworth will do Washington's
j second basing and Jimmy Wasdell will
! remain at first base. George Case, who
j promises to win a job next year In the
outfield, will be In right field In most
of the remaining games.
Shortstop Johnny Treshock and Sec
ond Baseman Jerry Lynn, up from
Salisbury, also are on the premises,
but they are not likely to be used. ^
Harris likes them as prospects, but
they are a couple of seasons away.
The only minor league recruit let
out so far has been Catcher Mike
Guerra, another Salisbury product.
Harris was not impressed with Guerra
and turned him over to Joe Cambria,
the Salisbury owner, with no strings
attached. Even before he saw Pitcher
George Cornelias, another Salisbury
purchase. Harris turned thumbs down.
So that doesn't count.
