MI. 0181 A 30 Years of Fair Dealing B Moses Driving New Class C Hydroplane In Red Bank Races By Malcolm Lamborne, Jr. Hudson Moses, Washington out board driver, formerly in the run about class, races his first sanctioned regatta tomorrow with a new Class C outboard hydroplane job in one of the East’s biggest speedboat 1 shows—the National Sweepstakes Regatta at Red Bank. N. J. He will be joined by three other local outboard racers—Ike Hale, Dean Wooster and Mazie Rogers— and a 135-cubic-inch hydroplane ace, Joe Palmer. In addition, several President’s Cup Regatta officials, including Eric Greenleaf and Bill Rogers, will be on hand either as observers or race officials. Palmer will compete with some of the best 135-class talent in the busi ness in a twc-heat race named in honor of the late Jack Cooper of Kansas City, who died last week from Injuries received early this month in a spill at Picton, Ontario, Cooper was driving a 135-hydroplane at the time. Gold Cup Line-up Uncertain. The big show, however, will re^ ! volve around the Gold Cup boats which compete for the Judge Emil Auerbach Trohpy, the National ; Sweepstakes Trophy and the Red Bank Gold Cup. Because you can’t count on a Gold Cup until it hits the starting line, there is no telling how many will show up on the North Shrewsbury River tomorrow afternoon and Sun i day. At this point, it looks as though Lombardo’s Tempo VI of Freeport, i L. I., which fared poorly at Cam bridge, Md., last week, but is in the running again; Harry Lynn's brand new Lahaia of Lake Hopatcong, j N. J., winner of the Cambridge Gold Cup, and Albin Fallon's Miss Great ■ Lakes of Detroit, will be on the line.! There's talk, too, of at least two 7-liter boats, Lou Fageol's So Long of Kent, Ohio, and Wilfred Stroh’s Nuts and Bolts of Detroit. They were likewise slated to race at Cam bridge, but never showed. Morlan Visel’s Hurricane VI,of Los Angeles, another Gold Cup boat, still is among the missing this week, but may show up at Red Bank: Moses Names Boat Daphne III. Getting back to Moses' new out-1 board, Hudson decided to step up to the faster company of hydroplanes J because he was looking for better i competition. With Hale in this class, I Moses couldn’t ask for more. The new boat is named Miss1 Daphne III, after Mrs. Moses. Hud son is using the same engine as in his Class C runabout Miss Daphne II. The hull is by Frank Schmutz of Merchantsville, N. J., an ace driver in his own right. Moses placed second two weeks ago at a regatta at Chester, Pa., and the same at Irvington, Va„ last week. \ Both were unsanctioned races. At the latter, a wild youth in an out- \ board drove right over the new ! Moses racer while it was tied up at the pits and damaged the port bow. Repairs have been made and the 'boat will be ready for tomorrow’s first heat at 1 p.m. Both Moses and Hale plan to com jPete in the Eastern Division out board eliminations for amateur drivers September 4 and 5 at Aga wam, Mass. If they qualify, they race in the Nationals at Cellna, Tenn., September 18 and 19. Moth Class Title Race Slated to Open Oct. 15 The National Moth Class champ ionships will be held October 15-17 at Elizabeth City, N. C„ in con junction with the 15th anniversary regatta of the Pasquotank River Yacht Club. At least 50 of the tiny cat-rigged sailboats from all sections of the country will compete in three full days of national, sectional and State championship events. Another added attraction is the semicentennial celebration of Eliz- 1 abeth City. NEW BOAT FOR AN OLD HAND—Hudson Moses of Washington gives his new class C outboard Hydroplane, Miss Daphne III, a tryout in preparation for tomorrow’s National Sweepstakes Re gatta at Red Bank, N. J. With this craft he has stepped up from the slower runabout class. Fore and Aft The sailing spotlight shifts to the, upper Chesapeake this week with two major events planned, one on the Eastern Shore and the other on the Western Shore. Corsica River Yacht Club at Cen treville stages races for Stars, Comets, Hampton one designs, cruising yachts, Lightnings, Sneak boxes and knockabouts over 18 feet and under 18 feet. Comets com pete for the brand-new C. Lowndes Johnson Trophy, named after the designer of this popular one-design class. • For the second year, Stars will •ace for the Harry B. Wilmer Me morial Trophy. It was won in 1947 by Lockwood Pirie of Chicago, but it's doubtful that he will be on hand this time. Pirie raced in' the re cently concluded yachting events of the Olympics, finishing third in the Swallow class. The other regatta is sponsored by Sparrows Point Yacht Club and fea tures races for A, B, C and Delta Class yachts, racing division boats and Lightnings. Unable to be two places at once, the writer settled for the Cambridge power regatta last ^eek end. Ac cordingly, he missed most of Oxford Race Week. At Oxford, two Wash ington area skippers wound up in No. 2 positions i*i their classes. Len Penso placed second in the Pen guins, with Joe KrafTt of Alex andria, third. Jack Reckord of Baltimore was first. Les Wright of Washington, sail ing the newly acquired Frenzy, scored two seconds and a fourth to take second in the Comet class. Jim Merrill, current Comet champ from Riverton, N. J., won all three races. - In the final event, Wright caught a favorable slant of wind and thought he had this race in the bag, v^ien the breeze left him. The debut at Cambridge last Saturday of Harry Lynn’s big Gold Cup racer Lahala from Lake Hopat cong, N. J., finds the experts and armchair mechanics at odds al ready over whether she's a world beater. "She’s too heavy to get up on her steps,” said one. “Needs to have that Allison en gine moved forward. Too much weight aft,” said another. “Why, man, Norman Lauterbach clocked her at 126 miles an hour on Sunday. Didn’t you see that air plane pacing her?” comes from a Outdoors WEST SOUTHPORT, Me. (Byi Mail (.—Breaking a three-day streak j of the worst sort of luck, Waiter Me- | Donough of Brielle, N.

Ray Camp of the New, York Times upheld the pres tige of both the press and light tackle devotees by boating a 519 pounder on a 24-thread line. As Camp was not entered in the con test, the 24-thread award, good for 114 points per pound, went by de fault, as did the women's trophy ; for which there were no entries. !

Not only are these big fish wary and hard to get to take the bait, but when one does hook one of them, it is like tieing onto the Congressional Lim ited headed for New York. Far more fish are lost than boated, and broken tackle is common. Camp lost a beautiful fish which broke a new line, and the same happened to McDonough. We witnessed both mis haps. It is a man's-sized sport, re quiring strength, skill, patience and tenacity—also a strong stomach. It is two days since we came ashore, and we can still feel the roll of the boat every time we close our eyes. This has been a fine experience for your landlubber scribe. The companionship and friendly rivalry and the sportsmanship evinced by these big-game fishermen give one a great lift. We never will forget the mornings when we laid off the Cuckolds, rolling and tossing in the ground swells and tide rips, with the tuna fishing fleet around us, dimly visible in the fog, waiting our signal. We always will remember the crossfire of repartee and friendly sarcasm traded between anglers, many of whom we could not even see for fog but whose voices were easily recognizable. Nor will we for get the sight of the fleet offshore in the Outer Gulley—the sight of the big fish as they surfaced—the thrill of seeing the angler set the hook, and the desperate activity during the first few, minutes of the struggle. Also we always will re member the kindly hospitality of these good Maine folks who enter tained us so royally. We’d like to pay tribute here to Dick Reed and Wayne Buxton of Maine’s Sea and Shore Fisheries Commission and to Marshall Campbell and the members of the Boothbay Harbor Tuna Club. third party. Lauterbach is the de signer and is chief engineer of Ventnor Boats, who built the craft. Unfortunately, when Guy Lom bardo's Tempo VI dropped out in the first heat of three and failed to come back, Lahala had nothing much to run against, except the sporty little 225-cubic-inch hydro plane Pearl IV. The Lynn craft was clocked on one lap at around 71 m.p.h. How ever, Lauterbach had her out on Sunday most of the day, trying out the powerful airplane engine. Mrs. Ethel Prance of Baltimore went out for a spin and reported on her return that Lahala’s air speedom eter showed 110 m.ph. Maybe the real answer will be given this week end at Red Bank. %nn is reported to be out to break the American spee<i mark of 124 miles held by Gar Wood and then Sir Malcolm Campbell’s world mark of 141 miles. The Magothy River Association and Potapskut Sailing Association are staging an unsanctioned re gatta for small open sailboats Sep tember 6. Races are carded for Stars, Lightnings, Comets and handicap boats. The big event for sailors that week end, however, is West River Sailing Club’s two-day regatta, Sep tember 4-5. Next week end many local skippers will trail over to In dian Landing on the upper Severn for another two-day regatta. ^ It was big disappointment to many that Garland Miller’s new sloop, Tradition II, from Norfolk failed to lift the Poker Bowl in last' week's Gibson Island-Oxford race. She still was first cruising yacht to finish and first on corrected time in class A. A little more windward work and Tradition II would have won handily. The winner turned out to be one of the low-rating Ox ford 400s, sailed by Sig HerslofT, jr., of Oxford. M. L., jr. 'Tar Heels Afloat' Cruise Planned Over Labor Day Special Dispatch to The Star MOREHEAD CITY, N. C., Aug. 20—The first annual cruise of a new organization known as Tar Heels Afloat will start from here on Labor Day week end and cruise the inland waterway. George Arrington, New Bern Chamber of Commerce secretary who heads the group, declared that "It’s a crying shame that the shel tered rivers, sounds and bays of North Carolina are not better known. We hope to expose their op portunities to boatmen everywhere.” Charles N. Bennett, managing di rector of the Morehead City Yacht Basin, has been appointed commo dore of the first cruise. Sponsors look for 50 yachts from Virginia and the Carolinas to par ticipate. Charles' Manager Posts $5,000 Fight Guarantee George W.

Councilor, jr„ of the President’s Cup Regatta today urged Washington area yachtsmen to join the regatta association under a new member ship setup and thus assure financial success of the big marine show next month. The association is offering a special yachting membership for $10 a year, open to members of yacht clubs and other boating groups. "The backbone of the regatta is financing,’’ the SS-yeor-old regatta official declared. "The regatta is a civic activity and one of its primary functions is to encourage interest in recreational boating and im provement of the water front. “Your membership will help us reach these objectives.’’ The association will continue its regular membership costing $25 a year, Councilor said. The regatta will cover nearly four weeks, starting with rowing races September 6 and winding up the week end of September 25-26 with outboard and Inboard races, includ ing three or more heats for Gold Cup boats competing for the Presi dent's Cup. This is Councilor’s second year in the tough job of general chairman, the same post his late father held in 1937 and 1938. He has the task of co-ordinating all phase of the regatta from proper pits for the J. A. COUNCILOR, JR. outboards to an escort for the re gatta Queen. Jim first became interested in the regatta as a driver in the 1929-30 regattas. He raced in what today is Class I inboard runabouts. Later he became handy man for various committees and last year was given the general chairmanship. He owns a 31-foot cruiser named Paja, and is a member of Corinthian Yacht Club, Potomac River Power Squadron and member-at-large of the American Power Boat Associa i tion Council.

Manhattan Race September 12 To Draw Star-Studded Field Special Dispatch to The Star NEW YORK, All*. 20.—With the handsome Harwood’s Trophy and more than $2,300 in cash prizes at stake, from 50 to 75 motorboat speed merchants are expected to match their wits and tempt their fate in the annual 28-mile Race Around Manhattan Island on September 12. Entries received to date by the American Inboard Association, spon sor of the race, Indicate that a pre ponderance of hydroplanes will make the fleld«even more solid than last year. According to Leston W. Cloak, president of the AIA, owners of 10 boats in the 135 and 225-cubic-inch classes and the Seven Litre class are among the dozen contestants heard from to date. First entry received at racing headquarters was that of David Gerli, gentleman farmer from Smithtown, L. I., who campaigned with racing runabouts before the war. Gerli still holds one-mile and competition records in Class K rac ing runabouts and this year will pilot a Class F service runabout. Lou Fageol, the engine builder from Kent, Ohio, has entered his Seven Litre class So Long, which at this stage is the most potent threat in the race. So Long has competed in Gold Cup class races at Red Bank and Detroit, as well as in Canada, and has been one of the most consistent performers in the sport.
