Members Coming Back From War. Plans
on Foot for Rehabilitation.

result of the crumbling of Germany, and
the likelihood of the early return of

Delaware River Nachtsmcn's League and
the Delaware River Yacht Racing Asso-
ciation, the two leading organizations of
motorboat men III this vicinity, have set
out to make the coming racing season one
of the greatest in the history OF the sport.
The removal of the numerous restric-
tions necessitatcd by the wartime situa-
ton. including the gaSoline-savlng order
and restricted zone regulations, Will be n
great boost To every type ot boating. But
the greatest boon which will he given 10
this sport in particular will be from the
return of the enormous number OF former
yachtsmen and lovers of the racing game,
now in the service, who will be back prob
ably by next June All factors favor a big
year for Yachting in 1919
The first steps IN the formation oi a
broad schedule for the next season were
taken last Tuesday evening ut the regular
monthly meeting of the Delaware River
\ achtSmen's League. This meeting was
scheduled for Tuesday, November 5, but
was postponed owing to that date being
election dav. The fundations were Land
at Tuesdays meeting for revlving motor
boating 10 its prc-wnr plane, or even sur
passing the highly successful years OF
1914, 1915 and 1916. Frederick Won
Nc:da, Of the Farragut Sportsmcn' Asso-
cation. secretary of the league, believes
that the return of peace should herald
great sporting activity Looking forward
10 a new era IN motorhoat racing. he
urged the immediate adoption Of plans TO
schedule record list of races for next
summer.
The schedule rs it has been during he
past two wears. has only contained four
league races, but the program urged by
von Media calls for ut east SIX league
meets. He looked forward TO much ac-
tlvitv from the newly returned men from
The service. His club. Farragut, he said,
now has 81 men in various branches OF
the government service, which the signing
of peace would send back
Definite arrangements Of the schedule,
however. were DELAYED until the December
