Towson, Md. girl, driving in her
first race, and a Baltimore youth
this afternoon thrilled a crowd
of water sport lovers as they
flashed to victories in the opening
day races of the Tri-City regatta
here.
William Roche, Baltimore youngSter,
shared honorS with the noted Bill Field
husen, winner of the big Staten Island
race, and Charles Cabbot, New Haven.
Conn, speedster, by winning two heats
while Miss Maryland Codd won SEN
sational victory in the final of the
Glass A cupboard race, nosing out two
experienced Baltimore men pilots.
Despite the presence of many of the
foremost speedboat drivers along the
Atlantic Coast, it was Miss Codd who
Won the glory.
Girl Displays Skill.
In the opening race of the regatta,
Miss Codd, off to a poor start, due to
lack of experience, displayed an unusual
brand of driving as she overhauled her
rivals Elmer Stagmer and Paul HoltZ-
man, and then went on to nose out
Stagmer by less than half boat length.
1t remained for Charles Cabbot,
though to furnish the best speed of the
day. While many focused their atten-
ton on Feldhusen, whose brilliant vic
tory in the Staten Island race a few
weeks ago brought him national honors
and made him something of favorite
in today's races, Cabbot. driving a
Stubby, pointleSs craft in the free-for-
all heats, averaged close to 40 miles
an hour for the smile stretch to nose
out the New Yorker. His twin vic
tory in the free-for-all heats gave him
. commanding lead in the 4-heat
event. which will wind up tomorrow.
But while Feldhusen was beaten by
Cabbot in the free-for-alls The lost the
second by only 2-5 of a second), the
New Yorker came back in the two
Glass cupboard heats to triumph, and.
like Cabot, in the free-for-alls, take
q strange hold on those events, which
also will wind up tomorrow.
William Roche salvaged for Balti-
more a fat slice of glory when he
piloted his Glass C cupboard to win in
both heats. scoring like the other twin
winners, 800 points. First place counts
400.
Roche was hard pressed both times
by a Washingtonian, William Baden.
IN his homemade craft.
Cabbot's Boat Fast.
Charles Cabbot's time in winning the
3ree-for-all was one of the fastest ever
made on nearby waters. He negotiated
the four laps, approximating five miles,
m minutes, AZ rs seconds in the
second heat of the free-for-all. The
New Haven pilot, however, needed every
iota Of speed he could muster from his
queer-looking Felix" for Feldhusen,
the Staten Islander, finished only two
1ifths of a second behind him.
Baltimore stood head and shoulders
above its Tri-City rivals Washington
and Annapolis, when its racers took II
places out of the total of SO. OF the
IL short races, Baltimore speedsters
took four firsts, four seconds and four
thirds.
The Maryland Yacht Club cruiser
race, which started from Baltimore, was
won by Arthur Andersons Anna Mae
Dot in one hour and seven minutes.
In another outstanding race. for
Tunabouts, Russell Kelsey of Edge
water, Md, left his rivals in his crafts
spray.
The regatta, second only to the
Presidents Cup Regatta in Importance,
will wind up tomorrow. The first event
will start at 10 o'clock and the program
will continue until dusk. The remain
ing two heats of the feature races will
be run off and water folk are looking
to even better time than was made this
afternoon.
