The boys who covered" my train
ing camp prior to the Dempsey
fight, and who had little sessions
with me after I won the title, be-
gan to term me unique" because
I wasn't profound user Of slang
and because /, seeing no reason
why a boxer had to use gutter
dialogue, tried to use language as
correctly as was possible.
And that made story for
them. which. it seems, has
given me q national reputation
for highbrow speech that /
have not lived up to, but which
reporters. during my recent
tour, decided 1 should live
up to anyway. So they've
helped me out by crediting me
with using words that are
world champions in size.
All along my jaunt from New
York to the Pacific Northwest,
down the coast and back to my
1lOIIl0 LOWub 4 WAS 1uJGEV1SWSu'
And the aftermath--Well, that fur.
nished me with a marathon Of
chuckling.
Apparently when ] met with the
newspaper boys and did not use
eight and nine syllable words, IL
was q great disappointment to
them. But, the vast bulk Of them
decided not to. disappoint their
readers who apparently were ex-
pecting me to establish new rec
ords in the matter Of elaborate
sounding words. So the boys dug
up their dictionaries, extracted the
longest words they could find and
then tossed them into quotation
marks as being utterances Of
mine.
Thus my reputation for being an
addict Of complicated expression in
the English language has grown
and grown.

Friday and Saturday of this
week Washington, or more
properly that placid stream Of
water which is one of the bound
aries, is to be the scene of a
speedboat carnival, which we are
informed by Capt. Bill Rogers.
who ought to know what he is
talking about, ranks second to
none among similar sporting
events of the country.
Bill has fathered and broth
cred many regattas in his time,
as those sea-blue eyes with sun
wrinkled settings reveal, and
as waterman he is one of
the most picturesque charac-
tiers to spin a tale of the
bounding swish or the cutting
spray.
Together with Commodore
Conrad Smith and the energetic
general Corinthian committee,
Rogers is this week giving
Washington its second major
regatta and from a sporting
as well as a civic institution,
the Presidents Cup races are
worthy of every ounce of sup
port this city can muster.
Only the workers on the in
side of regatta affairs here
abouts are familiar with the
struggle back scenes necessary
to put on such a monster meet
ing as the flotilla of tiny but
swift craft which will COM
pete here.
Baltimore, with its splendid
regatta last week is supporting
the local races with the best
boats along its section of the
Bay and despite the proximity
of the two events, the Maryland
gang is right now scurring
down the Chesapeake and up
the Potomac to be on hand in
time for the first starting gun
of Fridays program.
From q spectators standpoint.
no city Of which we know can
equal the advantages which the
Speedway and Virginia shores
offer to observers who do not
have their own craft from
which to watch.
Given fair weather then, this
weeks water events locally
should in a measure make M
for the fact that Washington
Is not to stage part of the
world series this year.
AS an important sporting
event, the Presidents Cur Re-
gatta is worthy runner up to
the national pastime and We
dare say q goodIy portion ~
Washington win line the Pc
ton1ac this weekend, If not
through interest, through Curl
osity which breeds interest.
