The triangle was three miles and the
course was three times around it, The
first lap was sailed in a brisk wind
which at times was decidedly squally,
but the last two laps were little better
than drifting matches, a game at
which the Scamp ut-footed both the
Popeye and the Snapper.
The only real race was the first lap,
over which the Snapper ran away
from the other boats and established
commanding lead. The Snapper
held much of her lead until the end
of the second lap at which time the
Scamp over-hauIed her. BY this time
the wind had died away to almost
nothing. The Snapper and Scamp
were in collision at the stake boat and
both shippers entered verbal protests
but withdrew them later

ing much better drifter than the
Snapper. In the meantime, the
Scamp had caught a couple of puffs

the second buoy on this lap the Scamp
was becalmed for a few minute but
later collected southerly breeze
which waited her across the finish line

time the air was so light that the tide
carried these boats backward
After waiting for more than half on
hour the two trailing boats succeeded
in catching enough zephyrs to turn

the finish line.
Watching fans who had gathered on
the end of the Palafox wharf to watch
the sport, wnre given some real thrills
during the first lap when all three
boats were sailing with their lee rails
well under. At times the squall was
so severe the sails dipped in the wa

boats to it, making good time. 1t was
on this lap that the Snapper displayed
her best sailing qualities.
Sailing with Capt. Altink were Ed.

Hutchinson had Dan Sheppard and
Jerry Stoddard as his crew, and Lucky
Baldwin had w. A. Durham and

ASKED WARRANT.
Justice of the Peace Repeats
Statement to Journal Con-
cerning Whitaker Arrest.
NO WARRANT FOR BOYD
Neither Judge Johnson Nor
Judge Bellinger Have Had
Anything to Do With Him.

That Peter Delano did visit his Of
flee with an urgent request for war;
rant for the arrest of Sheriff Hurts
Whitaker on charges of conspiracy in
connection with three arrests made by
the sheriff, was the emphatic state
ment of Judge Will L. Johnson, last
night Delano, the Judge continued,
was accompanied by Joe Mathews, the
other white man arrested on similar
charges, and both asked that the judge
issue a warrant for the arrest of Sher-
iff Whitaker.
Delano Joe Mathews and a negro.
Andrew Cobb, were arrested by the
sheriff in connection with the finding
of 21s gallons of shinny in an auto
mobile in which. these three men and
the men, Boyd told them Of the shinny
and offered to assist in securing it
for them, first approaching another
man with the proposition, and when
refused. offered it to Peter Delano.
Warrants were issued for three of the
men, but neither Judge. johnson. nor
Judge Bellinger had made "a warrant
for. the arrest of Boyd These men
claimed the action was a frame up
and applied to the Judge for warrant
on the charge of conspiracy.
Judge Johnson informed the com
plainants that he was the only officer
in the county with authority to serve
warrant on the sheriffeand that he
could not both issue and serve the
warrant. He suggested that if the
warrant was desired that the men
should apply to the county Judge, Sc
cure the warrant and bring it to him
self. He would serve it.
In the office of the justice when the
application was made were other men,
and he and these men are willing to
make an affidavit that Delano applied
for the warrant, said Judge Johnson.
These men remained in the office n
til the complainants left au1 the case
was discussed further.
The only assistance or advice that
the judge gave Deiano was TO READ
him the statute bearing on this par
ticuIar subject and this only after De-
lano asked whether or not the sheriff
of a county was subject to arrest for
such alleged offense, said Judge john
son. When he satisfied Delano that
a paragraph in the general statutes
covered conspiracies, continued the
Judge, Delano stated that he would
apply for a warrant before Judge Bel
linger, of the county court.
When asked concerning reported
telephone invitation made Mr.. Delano
by someone urging the request for a
warrant, Judge Johnson said that he
knew nothing of any such telephone
request. that he had held no CONVEX
sation with Mr.. Delano over the tele-
phone at any time recently, nor did
he have any knowledge of any one who
would urge a request for warrant.
