Motorboat Men Disagree
Oper Present Racing Code
Capt Jackson Combats Statement That Existing Rule
Creates Pencil Contests" and Capt. Baylies Says
Owners Word Should Not Be Taken.

AS this is the time of the year when
1t is impossible for motorboat men to
use their craft, the "stove league" Of
the chug-chug world is busy and re-
Gently there has been considerable dis
cussion regarding the racing rules of
the American Power Boat Association.
AS Is usual in such discussions, each
side feels positive that it is right The
Waterway League has taken up the
question and recent issues of it's bulletin
contain many arguments both for and
against the racing code.
Henry A. Jackson. at one time the
commodore OF the yachting department
of the New York Athletic Club, for
mer Long Island Sound wind jammer"
who is now IA confirmed motorboat en-
thusiast believes that the rules are
satisfactory. He also believes that
the Waterway League. an association
organized fF an entirely different pur-
pose has no right TO mix up in the
racing game.
LAS a member Of the league" said
Capt. Jackson. II feel that it is not
within the province of the league to
start in to regulate races and formulate
rules. for that is attended TO by other
associations, with knowledge and ex-
perience in the game that the league
can never have. II the league feels 1t
must mix in with affairs that do not
concern It, then let it do so with some
one who has knowledge of the rules and
not one who is ignorant of the rules
and yet criticises in a harmful man
ner."
Capt. Jackson took strong exception
to an argument advanced by one of the
opposition that the existing rule created
nothing but pencil racing" The
vachtsnan in question had wanted a
rule written 800 that winner will
know whether he is winner within
short time after the end OF race"
Easy to Figure winner.
ANY regatta committee said Mr..
Jackson, that Is worthy OF the name
and has common school education IA
arithmetic can tell. If the race is prop
erly run. within thirty seconds after the
last boat finishes the order of every
expects to get rule whereby he can
take a canal boat and put an Evinrude
on the stern and race Miss America with
good chance to win.
This is obviously impossible. as any
rule to be any good at all gives the adj
vantage TO the boat on which there is
a well balanced ratio between the Size
of the boat and the engine. as well as
the boat which is well designed"
G. L. Bayles q well known racing
member of the Tamaqua Yacht Club.
looks at the proposition in different
lgh, from the New York A. G. yachts
man. The Tamaqua Yacht Club gives a
fifty mile ocean race each year under
the American Power Boat Association
rules. and also several shorter brushes.

These are always very -uccessful races.
They are perfectly managed. due to the
excellent work of Mr.. Baylies and his
fellow members. His opinion, therefore.
should be received with respect by all
interested in the motor boat racing game.
ITO any one who has handled racing
of motor craft under A. p. B. A. rules, "
said MIR. Baylies, their inefficiency in
operation is apparent. The rating for
mula Is the best for obtaining the rating
and the nandicaps as given in the tables
for application to such ratings are as
equitable and Just to all boats as has
ever been devised. Unfortunately. there
is nothing in the rules of the A. p. u. A.
which provides for the enforcement or
verihcation of the factors that enter into
the formula for determining the rating,
which Is the all important factor.
II have been racing power boats and
have been connected with regatta COM
mittees conducting races under the A.
p b. A. rules for the last twelve or
fifteen years and have always found that
the dissatisfaction as to the operation
of the rules was due more to the laxity
of the application of the rules than to
the rules of determining the boats rat
ing.
Making Race of Liars.
"In my opinion the formula for rating
craft is as near perfection as 1t is pos
sibIe to devise, as 1t takes into consid-
Grafton design OF hull and prompts de-
velopment along designing lines as well
as taking as factor the horse power
of the motor. The great fault is that
no provision is made so that the correct
ness of the measurements or the cor
rectness of the revolutions can be
assured
"rhe rule making it obligatory for a
measurer to take the owners word rs
to the revolutions is making race OF
liars of motor boat owners. 1t should
be done away with and horse power
determined by other factors than the
matter Of revolutions. The sooner IL
is done the better for the sport in gen.
eral and for the A. p. b. A. rules"
Captain Baylies also is Of the opinion
that tides should be taken into con-
sderatlon In the figuring Of time allow
ance. MY experience has shown me-"
said Captain Baylies, that another fac
tor which upsets the proper operation Of
the rules is the matter of making the
time allowances for the distance sailed
over the ground instead of through the
water
"Tides will be either favorable or un-
favorable at the time of races. and the
boats either sail through the water a
less or greater distance than over the
land. Race committees should be al
lowed by the rules to take this factor
into consideration in determining the
distance for which time allowance be-
tween boats should be given"
