Special Dispatch to Tha Star
ST. MICHAELS. Md., Aug. 6.—
Chesapeake Bay’s biggest marine
extravaganza of the year was in full
swing here today as the Miles River
Yacht Club regatta drew some
thing over 1,000 spectator ana rac
ing craft.
A cold front swept through here
and out to sea late yesterday. It
left in its wake a spanking breeze
that was hailed by the sailors, but
frowned on by the speed merchants.
From all sections of the bay and
even farther away, yachts have been
converging on this crab town in
time for the guns opening two days
of power and sail events, climaxed
by log sailing canoe races.
The first classes went off this
morning at 10 o’clock. High light of
thp power phase today is two heats
for the Richardson Memorial Tro
phy for displacement boats with en
gines under 222 cubic inches. Two
heats for the Miles River Trophy
for unlimited displacement run
abouts also are on the program to
day. The third and final heat is
tomorrow.
Two races are carded tyday for
the canoes—the Sidney W. Coving
ton Trophy for loggers built prior
to 1917 and the Oliver Duke Me
morial Trophy race, open to all
canoes. This prize is in memory
of one of the bay’s best-loved canoe
builders.
Oliver s uin iveeps uusy.

today and tomorrow. She is Oliver's
3ift, owned by Duke Adams of
Baltimore. Adams, however, is ex

Dwned by the widow of Oliver Duke.
CMck Woodburn of Solomons may
iklpper Oliver’s Gift as he did at
Annapolis and Solomons regattas
ast month.
In all, officials were counting on
is many as 10 canoes for various
aces. The most coveted prize of
ill—the Governor’s Cup—will be
■aced for tomorrow at 9:50 a m. In
he afternoon, the John B. Harrison
rrophy event comes off for canoes
milt since 1917.
The smaller sailing classes start
heir three-race series this after
toon over two courses, and race
iecond and third events tomorrow
norning and afternoon.
These classes are listed: Stars,
:ompeting for the John Charles

Jomets for the Eben B. Thomas
rrophy, 16-footers, Moths, Ban
,ams, Dusters and Penguins.
D. C. Craft Numerous.

irawn a good number of Washing
on area enthusiasts. They include
Joe Palmer, 135-hydroplanes; Joe
rhacker and Bill Preston, Pacific
Dne-designs, and Frank Ludwig and
\ngus Gares, class C service run
abouts.
Many Washington area yachts
were spotted at various points here
and off the clubhouse. Capital

from West River yesterday, with
Fleet Capt. Tom Keane leading the
way in his beautiful Trumpy cruiser
Southern.
Club members were the guests of

Fore and Aft
Washington is represented in the
colorful fleet of log sailing canoes
now gathered off St. Michaels, Md„
for the first time in the history of
the Miles River regatta. The boat is
Eagle, a 30-foot waterline canoe
owned by a syndicate composed of
Or. Walter Lawson, Sally Blessing
and Bob Clagett.
Eagle was built by that grand old
man of Shadyside, Md., Cap'n Ed
Leatherbury in 1938 and purchased
this year by the three local sailing
enthusiasts. She lost a foremast en
route to the Annapolis regatta last
month and was unable to race.
Lawson reports the syndicate has
an all-Washington crew in addition
to the owners. Eagle carries only
working sails, but if the committee
will permit it, she wiU break out a
yacht spinnaker and genoa. The
light sails are from Warner John
son’s sloop Relax, which is serving
as escort vessel for the neophyte log
canoeists. Johnson is from Silver
Spring.
The. syndicate has no illusions
about Eagle’s chances, since she will
be up against some of the finest
canoes afloat. But, the owners are
anxious to see how she performs.
Then, next winter you can look for
some lefltting and recanvassing.
Lawson is this month's hard luck
skipper of the Bay country, al

Keane to Enter Gold Cup Boat
In President's Cup Regatta
by Malcolm Lamoorne, Jr.
Tommy Keane, Washington
yuhtsman and head of a hotel
simply house here, disclosed today
that Arno Apel of the Ventnor Boat
Works in New Jersey is building
him a 7-liter raching hull which he
plans to enter In the Gold Cup
class in next month’s President’s
Cup Regatta.
The boat, still unnamed, will be
powered by a Fageol motor produc
ing 325 horsepower. The power
plant is being developed by Dan
Arena, a well-known Gold Cup
racer who has driven Herb Mendel
son's famed Notre Dame in races
here.
Keane’s entrance into the upper
breckets of racing means Washing
ton will have its first entry in the
President's Cup event.
The relatively new 7-liter class
rates just below the Gbld Cuppers
in speed. Keane's boat will be a
sister ship of Lou Fageol’s So Long
which has been clocked at 91 miles
an hour on a mile straightaway.
Blower increases rower.
The new boat has an engine of
275 horsepower but with a blower
added, it will produce another 50
horsepower. The hull Is the popu
lar three-point suspension job which
Apel has developed so successfully
in the last few years. It measures
20 feet overall, with a beam of 9%
feet, including sponsons.
Keane hopes to have the boat
ready for the Maryland Yacht Club
races August 28 and then bring it
to Washington.
He wants to try it out then to
see* if the single seater will come up
to expectations. Just who will be
the regular driver is uncertain at
this point. He has two well-known
Washington pilots in mind as well
as his two boys, Tom, jr., 21, and
Michael II, 18.
He's Veteran of Racing.
Tommy is no newcomer to the
racing business. He started out in
the 135-cubic-inch hydroplane class
14 years ago with his Diane XIII.

plant at Pleasantville, N. J„ in his
yacht Southern the middle of this
month in order to be on hand fcr
the final touches on the racer. It,
then will be trailed to Baltimore for

Williams-Flores Bout
Signed by Jacobs
In Countermove
By th» Associated Pros
NEW YORK, Aug. 6.—Lightweight
Champion Ike Williams of Trenton,
N. J., agreed today to defend his
135-pound title against Jesse Flores
of Stockton, Calif., in a 15-round
bout at the Yankee Stadium, Sep
temper 22, under the promotion of
the 20th Century Sporting Club.
Negotiations are under way for an
other co-featured bout on the out
door card.
This was the first countermove
by Mike Jacobs’ organization to the
new threat of the Tournament of
Champions which will present two
title bouts on the same Ebbets Field
card September 23.
Originally Sol Strauss, acting pro
moter of the 20th Century, planned
an all-heavyweight card, but he
junked the idea when he had
trouble'lining up a show..
The tournament of champions is
putting on a double feature with
Middleweight Tony Zale of Gary,
Ind., defending his crown against
Marcel Cerdin of France in one
bout and Freddie Mills of England
giving Gus Lesneyich of Cliffside
Park, N. J., a chance to regain his
light-heavyweight title in the sec
ond battle.
In the event of rain, the two
promoters might find themselves
running on the same night.

stranded this week when their skip
per had to jump ship and stay

outfit, has assigned them to help
bring the scouts’ brand new skip
jack Silver Cloud up the Potomac.
Silver Cloud was launched last
month at Headley’s Boat Yard on
Coan River, down near the mouth
of the Potomac, and is about ready
for her maiden voyage. Tilp says
the boys will take two weeks to
go from there to Quantlco. The
reason for the slow passage is that
the scouts want to show off their
new boat to the hundreds of river
men, lighthouse keepers and others
they have befriended over the years
while cruising the river on their
old catboats. Bob Cat and Wild Cat.
Skipper Tilp reports that Silver
Cloud is the loveliest thing afloat
