SAGINAW AGAIN
BEST BIG YACHT
OutsaiIs All Competitors
in BensOnhurst Clubs
1916 Regatta.

In a northwest breeze that fresh
ened as the afternoon advanced, the
annual regatta Of the Bensonnurst
Yacht Club was decided on the Lower
Bay yesterday afternoon. SO fresh
was the breeze that many Of the
corinthians decided not 70 take part.
Also, several Of the starters came TO
the conclusion that there was TOO
much wind and sea for comfort, and
did not attempt TO cross the nnlsh
line.
The larger yachts had a good race,
that included one of the best and
longest thrashes 10 windwsrd partici-
pated in this summer on Grayesend
Bay. As is the custom below the Mar
rows, the start and finish were off the
Atlantic Yacht Club, at Sea Gate.
Although the Joy was the first 20
finish, the prize was taken on correct
ed time by the Saginaw. On both
actual and corrected time the second
division of the same class was won by
the Oriole.
Among the S boats the first craft
home was the Cyric, the property Of
c. Hollinshed The Poke Along won
among the knockabouts Of the Lower
Bay, and in the third division Of the
handicap class the winner was the
Spider. The North Star beat the Mer-
curry in the dinghy class Of the New
York Canoe Club.
The summaries follow:

foul language in their arguments with
the umpires and frequently within ear
shot of the spectators and Haughton is
going to see to it that there will be no
repetition of such conduct even if he
has to suspend some of his best players.
He proposes to have a chat with his
players before the season opeEs eau
tioning them to be careful in their
conduct and that there viii be re-
ward for good behavior in the fall and
fines inflicted on those players who do
not live up to the rules.
Chief Meyers is expected to prove of
much help to the Brooklyn team be-
hind the bat. Manager Robinson has
two capable catchers in Otto Miller and
Lew Mccarthy. but they haven't as
much experience as the famous Indian.
The Dodgers have one of the best
pitching STATS in base ball. Meyers,
having worked in the McGraw base
ball school for so many years, knows
more about handling boxmen that
either Miller or Mccarthy, and what
is more, he is likely to prove to be
dangerous batter, too.
Robinson made up his mind last sea-
son that he needed a brainy catcher to
handle his pitchers. and knowing that
Meyers had Become dissatisfied with
the Polo grounds team, he lost no
chance to obtain him when he was re-
leased.

local college athletes will be busy
tonight. Not only is each institution
going to be represented by squads in
the first indoor track and field meet of
the season in Baltimore. but three
Georgetown. Catholic University and
George Washington-have basket ball
games scheduled.
The most important of the two basket
ball contests is that in which George
Washington is to play Catholic Univer-
sty. The Brooklanders are to appear
on the Y. NJ. C. A. floor and. in view of
their loss of regulars, are expecting a
much harder battle than resulted in
meeting of the two quints at the Ar
cade a couple of weeks ago. The
George Washington team is playing in
better form than usual. as shown by its
victory over Temple University Thurs
day night, and it may possibly get
away with victory.
Georgetown's game with the West
Virginia Wesleyan University should
result in 4 victory for the Blue and
Gray, inasmuch as the latter team has
shown very poor form against catholic
University and the Navy. The Wesi
Nirginians are hardly to be feared by
any of the local institutions.
The track squads of the colleges and
scholastic institutions and clubs leave
here late this afternoon for Baltimore.
where they will take part in the in
door games held jointly under the aus
pieces of Johns Hopkins University and
the Fifth Regiment Athletic Associa-
ton. Whether representatives of the
District institutions will accomplish
much is hard to foretell, but it will be
surprising IL they do not uphold the
reputation of past years. it having been
usual for them to get more than their
share of the honors.
The Catholic University. despite it's
team being weakened by the absences
Of three regulars, won from West Nir-
ginia Wesleyan University last night
by good margin. The visitors played
