Newport Harbor. Calf, June II.
With 220O miles of salty blue
waves stretching ahead of them,
seven yachts are under way in the
biennial California Honolulu race.
Sometime between June IA and
June 20, these same craft are ex-
pected to lower their sails and
drop anchor At Honolulu, complet-
ing the greatest event on the 1928
Pacific coast yachting schedule.
This years race for the Sir
Thomas Upton trophy is expected
to be one Of the closest staged in a
number Of years because Of the
small differences in boat measure
ments. In 1926 the largest entry
was 1876 feet over all and the
smallest WIS 40 feet. This summer
the longest craft is 1902 feet and
the smallest 55 feet.
Although predictions as to the
time required to complete the voy-
age are impossible due to every
thing depending upon weather con-
ditions, experts believe that there
will not be more than three days
difference in the finishing time OF
the first and the last contestants.
| Lazzard Lipman's 1O2-foot sloop,
Talayha, is favored to cop the Lip
ton trophy, given for the yacht
making he best corrected time.
Thus the 55-foot schooner, Tamal-
mar. owned by DR.. R. H. Goodale,
might cross the finish line three
days after he Talayha and still be
declared the winner because of her
handicap of approximately three
days and ten hours.

Interference plays are the bane Of
an umpire's life. Such plays are
often matter of judgment unless
the interference was so plain that
there was no doubt about it.
While an umpire might often wish
that he could temper common sense
with the strict wording of the rule,
it is impossible for him to give any
consideration to whether or not the
interference was accidental.
The fielder always has the right
of way. It is up to the baserunner
to avoid him. In some cases con-
tact between 4ielder and baserunner
may be more the fault of the
fielder, but that fact cannot be
taken into consideration. If there is
interference, whether intentional or
accidental, the runner must be
called out.
If umpires gave thought to
whether the interference was acct
dental or intentional, they constant
ly would be in hot water. The base
runner would have a perfect abb
in that ne didn't trv to interfe- !,
with the fielder. that the happening
was purely accidental. Incidentally,
when it was apparent to him the:
he nigh pull something and get
away with it on the accidental
theory. he would never overlook the
opportunity.
While in certain cases it may
seen that the penalty on the base
runner is rather severe, yet to give
consideration to the possibility Of
the interference being accidental
would make the life Of the umpire
q much tougher one.
