ROD AND STREAM
HUBERT SCOTT-PATNE,
BY PERRY MILLER.

TIME big northeaster that has
come and gone played
havoc with all the fishing
points on the Bay, Patuxent
and Potomac Rivers. At Chesa-
peake Beach the long pier was
swept away and Capt. Noah Haz-
zard is reported to have barely
escaped with his life. Yachts,
fishing boats and row boats were
cast far up on the shores and in
many cases totally destroyed.
On the lower Potomac cottages were
inundated and the bridge to st. Georges
Island was swept away. The first floor
of the Piney Point Hotel was under
water, the wharf at Leona-dtown vas
partially destroyed and untold damage
was reported in every direction. Yet,
from what reports have come from
boat captains, they will be ready to take
out fishing parties the same as usual
this week.
Efforts to get in touch with Capt.
Hazard were unsuccessful, but
with the destruction of the pier
at the beach, it is believed he will
operate boats from Galesville.
The Potomac rose rapidly Thursday
morning for several hours and then
subsidized. However, the height Of the
water is due to reach Washington to-
day from the upper Potomac and the
Shenandoah Rivers, but with the wind

Record Promised if Britisher

Gar Wood Throw Open Throttle
NEW worlds competitive motor

NEW worlds competitive motor
n boat record may be produced in
II the British International Trophy
4 Il series on the st. Clair River at
Algonac this week end If the
anticipated competition Is Forthcoming
between Gar Woods Miss America x
and Hubert Scott-Paines midget racer
Miss Britain III.
Only once during the 13 years that
Gar Wood has held the Harmsworth
Trophy in this country has a real speed
duel developed in the international
series. That was in 1881, when Kaye
Don. driving Miss England II, was
pressed to the limit by Miss America TX
the record average speed of 89.9l3 miles
an hour for 80 nautical miles. Don's
best five-mile lap was 930l7.
Again last year a real battle of knots
was promised between the two super
hydroplaneS, Miss America K and Miss
England III. Miss England then held
the worlds one-mile record at ITO
IN phi, and within few weeks Wood
was to drive Miss America X at the
amazing speed of 124 m.ph. over the
mile straightaway. Miss America fall
tered in her early laps, however, and
Miss England became crippled before
the finish, with the result that Woods
average speed in winning the first 35-
mile race of the 1882 series was only
f8489 m.ph. Miss England had the
best seven-mile lap at 1865 mp.h.
These competition records,
although supreme in the realm
Of speedbOating, do not approach
the one-mile marks of the un-
limited hydrOplanes with the
same proximity of the straight
away and competition speeds in
other mOtOrboat racing classes.
Hubert Scott Paine, the red fox" of
England, whose boating skill and
knowledge can well match the cunning
of the silver fox" Gar Wood of De-
troit, may have in his unorthodox chal-
lenger the medium Of increasing the
Earmsworth speeds to new high this
year. Undoubtedly the fastest single
engined boat ever built, Miss Britain III
may provide the necessary competition

promises to become worthy rival to
L. Gordon Leech as a scout"
Burch recently returned from Chicago
and the Worlds Fair, where the ma
tional canoe championships were held.
and brought back promises of many of
the country's best paddlers for the
opening day program of the big Poto-
mac regatta on September %.
Burch particularly was impressed by
a newcomer to the racing canoe world,
the Breeds Canoe Club of West Rox-
bury, Mass. Only in the game for the
last two years, the Breeds Club finished
the first days competition in single
blade events with point score of "a,
leading the crack Washington Canoe
Club, which had 16 and second place.
Clubs from such centers as New York,
Chicago, Boston, Providence and Phila-
delphia trailed behind
In the second days competition, which
consisted Of double blade races, the
Breeds Club again made good show
ing. but the Washington Canoe Club
rolled up enough points TO overcome
the lead established by the Breeds pad
dlers and to retain the Yonkers Canoe
Club point trophy. However, according
to Burch, it was a distinct blow to the
WaShingtonians to take a back seat to
the young Breeds Club in the. single
blade events, which for the last Is years
were shared between the Washington
Canoe Club and the Potomac Boat Club.
The District of Columbia canoeists want
another crack at the Breeds Clubmen
and may get it during the Presidents
Cup regatta.
Burch also announced that Ernie
Rledel, ace of the Pendleton Canoe
Club OF Philadelphia, will show his
wares on the Potomac on September %.

unexpert yachtsmen's eye, reveal the
slightest inkling of the condition OF the

rinthian quarters.
Just as the club members were pre-
pairing their boats and dolling up the
grounds for the N. r. A. parade next
Tuesday and for the Presidents Cup
Regatta, the storm hit.
Boats broke away from their moor
ings and were washed far ashore, dam
aging hulls. Three Of the craft were
sunk. The water rose to depth OF
three feet in the basement OF the CLUB:
Members from all over the city and
suburbs responded to calls and worked
throughout the night Wednesday, in the
midst of the driving rain. Some were
forced to swim to their craft. which in
ordinary weather would be moored
within few steps. and pilot their boats
to midstream. When they were able
to walk upon the docks, the water
reached to their chins in many in
stances.

entries and other important and neces-
sary information could not be heard
from the familiar public address sys-

vicinity, five-meter radio will be used
to bring the announcers voice to the

slated on the Georgetown Channel for
September %, 20 and 80 and October l..
Under the supervision Of Lieut.. Roy
c. Cordeman of the Naval Reserve, one
of the most active of Americas 10000
radio amateurs, a five-meter telephone
transmitter will be installed on the
judges boat and small battery op-
Grated receivers will be placed in each
of the reviewing craft. Thus announce
ments will be provided for those on
water as well as on land.
One OF the most difficult sports
events to conduct f1awlessly and in
help of this type. Undoubtedly the
use of radio, If the September eX-
pertinent proves successful, will be
adopted at all major regattaS.

Frenchmen Lose Title as
Champion Bread Eaters

Paris.-Once the worlds cham
pion bread-eaters, the French have
lost that distinction, according to
Edmond Chalk, president of the
Touring Club de France.
Twenty years ago the average
Frenchman consumed two pounds
of bread daily. Today he only eats
one pound, ten ounces, represent
ing a drop of about 10 per cent.
In consequence, M. Chalk re-
marks, a Frenchman can no longer
be defined, in the words of Nine
teenth century motorist, as "a dec
orative gentleman, ignorant of ge-
ography, who is always asking for
more bread"
M. Chalk attributes the decrease
in bread consumption ID the fact
that during the restricted diet i'm
posed by the World war, bread suf-
fered greatly in quality, and the
French turned to other food.
