SCORING PACE SET
BY HARRY KNIGHT
DundaIk Club of Baltimore
Finishes Second, With
Indian Head Third.
w YITH that rugged and pop
w ular veteran, Harry
Y Knight, as its big shot,


yesterday handily triumphed in
the Delaware Chesapeake Divi-
sion championships of the Amer
lean Canoe Association on the
upper Potomac, off the Potomac
Boat Club. The victory gave the
Red and Black possession of the
handsome Sir Thomas Upton
Cup.
Dundalk Canoe Club of Baltimore, a
comparative newcomer to tfl2 padding
game, finished second with g points,
followed by Indian Head Canoe Clu$ Of
Riverdale-on-the- Hudson, N. Y, with
Is and Potomac Boat Club of this city
and Bristol Young Mems Association of
Bristol, Pa, each with H.
Washington Canoe Club, presenting a
well balanced team. won of the Ia
events. Harry Knight captured two of
these and was a member Of the VIC
torious team in three others, The AZ
year-old paddler swept to victory in the
senior one-man single and the senior
one-man double blades, gaining in the
latter the coveted Red Dragon Club
Trophy. With his brother Karl, he was
first in the senior tandem single blades:
with Marc Fore, Charlie Spencer and
Karl Knight he flashed in first in the
senior quadruple single event and with
Herman Voilmer he triumphed in the
senior tandem double blades.
Tilt Contests Interesting.
Dundalk Club set fast pace in the
early events but about midway of the
program Washington Canoe Club over
hauled the invaders from Baltimore
and went on to score heavily in the re-
manning events to land first honors.
Aside from knights brilliant work
the most interesting features were the
final events on the program, the fitting
contests. The junior tile particularly
was hard fought. Howard tJedl Flor
ence of washington Canoe Club knock
ing George Mayor of the Dundalk Club
overheard in the final only after nearly
half hours furious struggling. Each
had gained two fouls before Florence
finally won. Florence also gained the
final in the senior tilt but Albert Bauer,
big representative Of the Bristol Young
Mems Association, shot his game but
much smaller opponent into the water
after a brisk battle.
Failure of the Yonkers, N. Y, Canoe
Club, which won the Upton Cup in 1928
in Baltimore, when it was last at stake,
and the Philadelphia and Pendleton
Canoe Clubs to appear was disappoint-
ing, Ernie Reidel, outstanding double
blades performer of the world, was one
Of those listed to come with Pendleton.
Won Once Before.
At that, though. 1t was q highly inter-
esting regatta and Potomac Boat Clup,
which was the host, handled things IN
fine style.
incidentally, IL was really the second
time washington Canoe Club has won
the IApton Cup. In the 1927 regatta
the Red and Black won every senior
event but was not eligible TO receive the
trophy, a perpetual award, because 1t
WAS not then member of the American
Canoe Association. However, w. G. G.
recently joined this organization.
In winning the senior Quadruple
single blades the Red and Black cap
tured The Evening Star perpetual
trophy. The Washington Post and
washington Times also had perpetual
cups ut stake.
