Miss Detroit vi. owned by Garfield A.
Wood of Detroit, Mich, was the
favorite to win the 75-mile speedhoat
race from Los Angeles harbor around
Santa Catalina Island today. Four
Pacific coast entries were to oppose
the Miss Detroit.
The race, a rough water contest,
was considered by yachtsmen as one
of the hardest grinds ever held on the
Pacific coast. On the west side of
Catalina Island the water at this
season is usually very rough and
small boats find ii almost impossible
to make good time.
The Miss America 1. world cham

modore Wood. was not expected to
enter the contest unless unusually
fine weather conditions prevailed.
