Everything goes forward today,

Not the least Of Washington's
sport facilities is the wide, calm
waters Of the Potomac, and this
year old Father Potomac will
have had more than his share Of
sporting attractions, despite the
loss Of the Presidents Cup re-
gatta.
All through the year the bee
like out-boards and the hum
ming speed-boats have alternated
with canoes in drawing the
crowds to the Sea-walls, on the
Tidal Basin, upper river or
Georgetown Channel. The water
sport will reach its peak in Sep
tember, however, with the Middle
States annual shell regatta on
Labor Day and the Delaware
Chesapeake division canoe cham
pionships on September l3.
Both Of these are first AK
attractions along the Atlantic
seaboard. The M. s. regatta Is
considered one Of the two big
rowing events in the United
States Of the year.
The Middle States race Is
under the auspices Of the Old
