PICKANINNY Wins
DELAWARE REGATTA
Com. James Morris Lu Lu
Captures Time Prize In
River Race
.BACQN'S ENTRY is
FOURTH AT FINISH

Racing through rain and shine, with
her engine running TO perfection, the
Pickaninny. owned by Bell and Taylor,
Of the Camden Motorboat Club. on sat
urday captured the 1919 championship
cruiser race on the lower Delaware
river She raced for the flrst time yes
terday since she won the dupont
trophy race last September, and her
splendid performance was complete
surprise to all yachtsmen.
The Pickaninny not only won the
1919 title, which has the sanction OF
the American Power Boat Association
but as well landed the handsome
trophy presented by a national publ
cation and share Of the other
trophies, which have been termed the
most valuable ever offered for a motor
boat race on the Delaware river.
The Pickaninny covered the course
almost without fight from any other
boat in the race. completely surprising
the yachtsmen when she raced out just
ahead OF heavy shower, finishing at
3.2025
The victor completely outclsssed the
Naomi, owned by William MacNamee
and the Dora H., property OF Bruno
Arishoff. the two prominent Riverside
craft, which have both been considered
among the best OF the handicap racers
IN this vicinity. The Pick crossed the
line fully half an hour ahead Of the
Naomi, the second boat 70 finish. The
Dora H., the boat which went ashore
in the recent race to Cape May did not
run true TO form, and was left in the
rear by the Naomi after a long chase.
The race was held from the Riverside
Yacht Club 10 the Cross Ledge Light,
and return, total distance OF i02 nau-
tical miles.
The elapsed time Of the Pickaninny
was but six minutes slower than that
OF the Lu Lu, owned by Commodore
James ". Morris, OF the Wilmington
Motorboat Club, which won the time
prize. The Lu LUIS time was ii.35O9,
and the pick followed with the fine
mark OF ii.4i.47. No solution could be
found OF how she seemingly beat her
rating, but her skipper claims that II
was the fine condition OF the engine
that turned the trick.
The Bedouin, owned by D. J. Bacon,
OF the Wilmington Motor Boat Club.
was the fourth craft over the line, fol-
lowing about twelve minutes after the
Dora H. The Beudoin had an allowance
Of 505i. and consequently started long
after the Plckaninny. The two craft
about held their own IN relative posi-
tion. In fact the winning craft gained
some twelve minutes on the Bedouin in
the race, although the latter gave the
Pick an allowance OF nifty minutes.

Covenant Temporary One.
1T will be seen," the report said,
that the covenant only aims at
protection against Germany and
that it is of temporary character
to be merged in and substituted
by the majority Of the league of
nations when that is established and
put into operation. AS the armis-
tice covers the ground between the
end of the war and the ratification
of the treaty of peace, SO the treaty
in question aims to cover the ground
from the time of the adoption of
the treaty until the league fct nav
tions, provided for in the treaty,
can take it's place. In other words,
the treaty in question is of a tenn
porary character to be merged in
the final treaty of peace.
Such a treaty is clearly war
ranted by international law and
usage and is therefore within the
scope of the treaty making powers
of the United States"
The full committee deferred ac-

Should the senate fail to ratify
the peace treaty and the league OF

came imminent last night when c.
L. Shamp, international secretary
treasurer of the stationary fremen,
announced that the men he repre-

may see fit to take. The announce
ment followed a lengthy meeting of

Instructions were issued to fire.
men to walk out Wednesday upon
notification, either by officials of
their union, or by the engineers.
Mr. Sharnp emphasized the fact
that the action of the fremen was
purely sympathetic. No other course
is left to the men, he stated.
"Firemen could not work with
union engineers, and a walkout
by the~1atter will automatically
throw the hremen out of work." said
Mr.. Shanp.
At the meeting last night it was
decided that demand for an in
crease of from 521z to IS and IS
cents an hour be submitted by the
firemen to their, employers in order
to, justify the threatened move.
Engineers on "high pressure"
plants are demanding IS cents an
hour with time and a half for over
time. This is an increase of l2H
cents over the present scale. Those
on "low pressure" plants ask IS
cents an hour.
Mr.. Shamp stated definitely that
the water plant will be allowed to
operate even if a strike is called.
