OLD YACHTS HOODOO
STILL PURSUES HER
Yesterdays Accident to the Constitution But One
of Many-To Race Again Tomorrow.

CITY ISLAND, N. T., May 29.-The
crippled Constitution, which lost her
topmast in yesterdays contest with Re-
lance and Columbia, will probably be
ready to race tomorrow. The luckless
sloop was towed here from Glen Cove
last night by her tender, the Satellite,
and early this morning riggers who had
arrived from the Herreshoffs at Bris-
tol with new topmast and a set of
spreaders, went to work to repair the
damage. The broken topmast was Slip
ped from the buckling and the mast
head runners examined for strains The
new topmast will be set on end later
IN the day and the shrouds adjusted and
tlghtened. Captain Rhodes hopes to
have his boat ready for tomorrow's
race
August Belmont, owner of Consti-
tuition, and Captain Rhodes. are soreiy
disappointed over the accident, because
they express the opinion that the old
beat would have beaten the Reliance

FISHING FOR BASS
CAN BEGIN TOMORROW
Closed Season Ends in District of Columbia But
Not in Maryland

Washington anglers may fish for black
bass in District OF Columbia waters on
Decoration Day. The closed season for
black bass, pickerel and California SAL
mon will end In the District on May 20.
June 10 is the date when black bass
may be fshed for in Maryland The law
passed last year by the Maryland Legis-
lature fixed that date, to the great dis
appointment Of local sportsmen who de-
sire TO ash for black bass along the
uD2er Potomac
Heretofore the closed season for bass
in Maryland was June !, and many fish
ermen have not learned of the change
made II the law
AS the fish laws are not rigidly en-
forced in Maryland. the change In the
statute viii probably have little effect
on fishermen along the upper river.
Sportsmen watch the river carefully
near the District line. and little poach-
ing is possible there. Consequently,
fishermen in Maryland near Washington
will have little opportunity to try their
luck until after the poachers along the
upper river have taken many bass.
Major Sylvester, game warden for the
District of Columbia. has made every
effort to call the attention of local fish
ermen to the change IN the Maryland
law. in order that those who fish in Dis
trict waters early next month may not
venture into Maryland waters without
tull knowledge of the extension of the
closed period IN that State

Hard One to Lose.

Pretty tough to lose that. Two runs
sacrificed, which would have changed
defeat into victory, makes the drubbing
all the more ignominious. In the fifth
Wilson was coached home on his three
sack clout, and proved an easy out, and
again in the sixth Holmes was sent
along the narrow and beaten path from
third to the pan. and was caught on a
fake throw to second.
The consensus Of opinion is that the
team is in hard luck. Very true. but
when an outfit of pinheads are placed
on the coaching line, and game after
game is sacrificed by rank stupidity but
little sympathy can be accorded the
team.
The contest was pretty one. but
what is the use of a pretty game"
when marred by the yellow work of the
men on the bases and those placed at
the corner of the diamond to look out
for just such tricks of the game as were
well known 10 our grandfathers.

Captain Rhodes said today that he was
confident the Constitution would have
won yesterdays race but for the acct
dent. The Constitution was, indeed,
having hard luck, he said. but would
show her mettle yet before the season
was over.
August Belmont admit1.eu that the
CONSTITUTIONS hoodoo was evidently still
aboard, but was equally confident that
his boat would show the Reliance
foaming wake. The CONSTITUTIONS ad
mjrers believe she will be at her best
advantage in seaway, and are eagerly
awaiting the races off Sandy Hook and
Newport.
Constitutions list Of mishaps Is
long one In her first race with Column
bia, two years ago, she had the race
won, when forestry snapped. Her
mainmast buckled during her preliIni-
nary spin. In the cruise OF the New
York Yacht Club, she bumped on a
sunken scow of Race Rock. and dam
aged her underbody.
Suit after suit OF sails were tried on
her, but failed to fit. and finally she was
turned down by the committee to defend
the cup and Columbia selected.
Hoodoo Continues.
Her hoodoo continued this year When
she arrived at New London. to be
hauled out, the cradle chains of the Ma
rine Railway broke. and she was COM
PEELED to go to City Island to have her
underbody cleaned While being hauled
out on the marine railway here. a sup
Iorting stay snapped. and the Constitu-
ton topped over on her side and dent
ed two OF her underbody plates. She
was finally hauled out in South Brook
Ign. Her owner hopes that in yester
days accident. the hoodoo was carried
overheard and drowned.
