BOATS
In The RIVER
CLASSIC SOON
Tech, Jr. Expected to Complete
for Delaware Supremacy
on Saturday
ALPARNEL NOW
HOLDER OF TITLE

The championship among the Della
ware river speed boats is far from set
tied, and it remains for the Record tro-
ply race next Saturday to decide the
matter. As the situation stands today
R. P. Smiths Alpanel III holds the
championship, but at least two others
make claim to greater speed, and intend
to prove it in the races next Saturday.
These are the Delphia II, Commodore
Gus Mueller and the Pee Wee Hoe p. V.
Hoy of Nouistown Then, too, Xqqme,
which won the Record trophy last year,
and which is not a hydroplane, claims
distinctions among the flyers because Of
the dependability of the boat.
Entries for the Record trophy race
will not close until the end of the week.
In the meantime it is pretty definitely
determined that it will be a four cor
nered contest between Alparnel III. Del
phia II. Pee Wee Hoe and Xqqme. There
are other boats on the river which may
enter. but there is nothing in the rec
ords which will put them IN the running
for the honors.
Il is well-known that the shore boat
owners have longing eyes on the trophy,
and IL Is not unlikely that several Of
them may compete. If they come it will
put different complexion on matters,
so far as the winning of the trophy is
concerned, but so far as the real anna
teur championship is concerned, it rests
with the four boats named
The Tech, Jr.. is not included in this
list, although she is a Delaware river
boat. Under the rules she may not be
qualified TO enter the races The rules
provide that the boats must be manned
by amateur helmsmen. who are mem
bers in good standing of some club be-
longing to the A. p B. A. The Tech.
Jr.. has been manned by a paid crew,
according 10 statements made; but T. V.
DUPONT, n son of General T. Coleman
dupont, the owner Of Tech. IT.. is being
groomed to handle the boat. He may
become the steersman of the boat in the
races next Saturday. which would fill
the bill entirely, and place the Tech. Jr.
in the running. In certain quarters this
is anticipated, and it may spoil the four
cornered fight for the trophy anticipated
among the four upper-river owners. The
Tech. Jr. with her handicap. is admit
tedly the fastest boat on the river, if
she can keep going. Thus far she has
entered in but one race, and that was
an unsanotioned race. early in the sea-
SON II was the Delaware River Club
speed boat race. in which she made an
average Of a mile in ? minutes 2 seconds,
or an average Of POS knots, or 33.96o7
statute miles an hour It is known
that the boat can do much better than
that, but having no other boat to con-
tend with but the Alparnel III, which
was making her maiden race, she played
safe and won easily.

inning when Swayne, Hooper and
Kavanaugh each singled and Russell
tripled. Russell was out in trying to

Allan Russell looked the part all
the way in his game for Baltimore

speed and his spitball broke so that
it was absolutely unhittable. Every
one who has watched Russell daring

Tu-State was not a bowling success,

While speaking of the Russell fam

He's quite a ball player" said the
old first sacker. Don't make a mis-
take about Lefty He can play first
