Lena Captures Race for 30
FOoters in Seawanhaka.
Corinthian Regatta

OYSTER BAY, L. l., June 28.-After
a lapse of two years, owing to the war,
the Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club
held an open. regatta on Long Island
Sound under weather conditions that
were almost ideal. A glorious north
east wind came whipping across the
water as the committee on board for
mer Commodore E. c. Benedict's steam
yacht Oneida established starting line
off Lloyd's Point.
1t was splendid breeze for race.
| Unfortunately, the number Of starters
was small in comparison to those in
the races that have been held at the
western END of the Sound. That was
expected, however, as the breeze kept
away all but the larger classes.
Although two big schooners had en-
tered, neither came to the starting
line, nor were the new sloops of the
Larchmont Yacht Club there. The
Long Island Sound schooners were on
hand, and two Of the trim. little dou-
ble-stickers had spirited race over
14k-mile Course, the winner being
w. Baldin's Alicia, which defeated E.
+. Alker's Allure by l minute Is Sec

Lena Defeats Adios
Ogden Reid, who has been doing so
we'll in his New York Yacht Club
thirty -footer Lena all season, again
won in the division, defeating Fred
Richards Adios by minute and 50
seconds over the same course AS the
wind came the craft had reach, beat
and broad reach home. The thirty
footers also raced on corrected time
against Robin Hood III, the only handi-
cap boat to appear at the starting line.
Lena was not so successful in the
mixed class, Robin Hood III winning
on corrected time by almost minutes.
There was an excellent representa-
ton Of Greenwich yachts here. Both
the Arrow and the one design class
of the Indian Harbor Yacht Club came
across the Sound to take part in the
regatta. In the former division the
winner was Windward II. the property
of Richard H. Monks. The Windward |
II defeated REM, owned by Clifford D.
Mallory, another we'll known Long
Island Sound Corinthian, by / minute
and IS seconds. June Bug won in the
one-design class.
Nahma Best in Fish Class
Eight Of the fish class sailed over a
short course, starting late in the after
noon. The winner was Nahma, the
of Commodore Ralph Ellis. i,

John Baumbach. secretary Of the
last baseball club representing South
Bend in the Central league. is a firm
believer that South Bend should be
IN some league or other this year
he writes the following interesting
letter In which he gives facts and
figures which should stimulate the
interest OF all baseball fans who
wish 70 see the city placed in cir
cult
Mr.. Baumbach. in an interview
yesterday. said, Don't let anyone
tell you that il is impossible TO Sc
cure a ball park FOR South Bend. II
We go at the proposition in a sane
manner. and can get the backing
or the city authorities on a plan.
there Is no reason 20 suppose that
baseball in South Bend viii not
boom this year more than it ever has
before. II is "a recognized fact that
minor league ball viii come back
into its own this year. and now is
the psychological time for the fans
10 organize on this project"
In his next article. he will out
line his plan whereby South Bend
may have a park in which to play.
Much Talk.
Following is his letter Of Satur-
day. so much has been said Of
late in various papers Of the old
Central League territory regarding
baseball for 1919. and the bright
perhaps a few facts and figures rel
alive 10 this proposition would not
be amiss at this time
There are several reasons why
clubs or the Central League in the
past have not been able 20 toe the
mark year after year and one of
the chief obstacles has been the
lack Of a compact circuit. which
made il necessary 10 pay out the
earnings Of the various clubs in rail-
road fares or sleeper jumps. or else
By having an diversified salary limit.
70 is true that the Central League
has been noted during past years for
having the fastest Glass r in the
country. but what good is this fast
est ball il it does net pay at the
gate?
During the first few years OF the
Central League, Wheeling was the
city which ate up all the profits of
the club owners This was really a
bad town 20 have on the circuit, for
IL never was a first class baseball
town. Doubtless some will remem-
Der that the same thing happened
in the Western League. where Den
yer. a really first class ball town was
carried for years 10 the detriment OF
the league. and this one thing. more
than any other, is responsible for
the lack OF interest and near de-
mise OF that league.
Our Own Affairs.
But. back 10 our own affairs II

10 men on a $4,000 salary limit
would mean less than $4,000 for
salary, making the grand total
about $4,000 or S1O,166 TO be ex-
act
Now il may he seen that we have
saved $4,000 or 10000 general ad-
missions. Of which 5000 must go
into the grandstand The result is
apparent We would have to draw
10000 people TO the park and get
10000 of these into the grandstand
which would be a comparatively
easy task for South Bend, consider
ing our increase in population which
is expected. This statement is made
with the provision that such a COM
pact circuit could be formed. Even
an eight-club circuit with Saginaw
and Bay City. or Fort Wayne and
Lima added would not add much
TO the expense of running a ball
club.
There is no reason TO suppose
that this city should not draw from
$4,000 TO $4,000 people in n circuit
of this kind. and with the extra
money accruing from the occasional
sale Of star player who might be
developed here, it would mean that
an owner or stock company should
clean up between $4,000 and $4,000
in profits.
In closing 1 would say that we
should. have baseball in South Bend.
but by all means let it be in a safe
and sane, not hophazzard league,
formed for the benefit Of all clubs
and run by some responsible party.
or else by a stock company or fans
organization as some people would
call it. This kind of baseball would
pay in any one of the cities named,
of that there is no doubt"

The lack of pitchers has been
worrying the coaches and baseball
fans at Notre Dame for the past
month and the coming of Lavery
who twirled great ball last year, is
expected TO help considerably in
moulding a new staff.
I.avery's rise to baseball promi-

GIVES MONEY TO SOLDIERS
1t More Than Does the
Church.

San Francisco. --Stating that the two
soldier sons of the late Mrs Bridget
Fitzpatrick are more in need of her
estate than is the Catholic church, Rev.
Father j. A. Colligan. trustee of st.
Ignatius university, has renowned a
bequest of $4,000.
"The sons of Mrs. Fitzpatrick have
returned TO San Francisco after 10
months in the army" said Father Col.
ligan. "It is the belief Of the trus-
tees of st. 1gnatius university that the
boys need this money more than the
church does, and therefore we waive
our claims to the bequest."
Mrs. Fitzpatrick bequeathed her es-
tate equally to st. Ignatius university
and her two sons, Edward and Joseph.
BY Father Colligan's action each of the
young men will receive an additional
$1,000.

IT'S SAD sHAD TALE
Fish More Scarce in Delaware

Many Fishermen Have Placed Nets on

his head over his "grog" in Glouces-

Its a sad shad tale. In fact. it's
so sad that I've quit shading and got

more money In it. Shad fishing is
done forever In the Delaware in my es-
timation."
Inquiries among the fishermen at
Gloucester and Camden ELECTED the In
formation that fewer shad have been
caught In the river this year than ever
before and the majority of the fisher
men now fear the industry is thing
OF the past.
Some of the men have not caught
more than FIVE fish this season, while
several were found who have not av-
eraged one shad per drift. Some OF
the fishermen have placed their nets
on the rack and quit In discourage

catch herring.

Records Of the Washington Park
fishery show that the highest number
of shad ever caught in one haul was
about 5000, fourteen years ago. The
run Of shad started to fall off in 1909,
when the United States fish commits
sion discontinued its steamer, the Fish
Hawk, coming up the Delaware be-
cause insufficient spawn was to be had
to propagate young shad. Since that
time the TorreSdale hatchery has
