Four Dodge Boats Up Against
Four Illustrious Challengers
In Gold Cup Race September l

n YEw YORK, August 19.-Four
nj challengers are being groomed
VI for the classic Gold Cup which
/ Horace e. Dodge will defend at
Detroit In q total 90-mile race
On September l, Charles r. Chapman,
secretary Of the Gold Cup Contest
Board, announced today.
Together with the four defenders
Dodge and his sister, Mrs. Delphine
Baker, have assembled for the cham
pionships, there will be eight starters

George Refs Of Lake George, N. Y,
which successfully defended the Ma
tional Sweepstakes Trophy last week at
Red Bank, N. j. Although far from
extended In the sweepstakes event, the
veteran II Lagarto ran smoothly and
gave every appearance OF being q much
faster boat than when she finished the
runner-up to Delphine w at Montauk
last August.
Y yIcToR KLIEsRATH of South
" Bend, Ind, is bringing his Hotsy
Totsy, Gold Cup champion of
1930-31, out Of retirement, and John
Shibe, Philadelphia base ball magnate,
will have his Miss Philadelphia back
in the field after years absence.
Kliesrath has made several trial runs
with the craft He has made no an
nouncements as to its present capabili-
ties. but indicates optimism.
"Hotsy Totsy isn't ready yet" he said
today. But she will be- We hope
she'll be faster than she has ever been
before; in fact, we know she will be-
Its too soon TO make any definite ap-
praisal of her speed. But she'll be there
with what 1t takes when the time
comes"
During the last year the Hotsy Totsy's
Weight Wright airplane motor, con-
verted for water racing, has had a con-
siderable number Of horses added. It
Is expected that something over $50
horsepower will be delivered when the
motor Is in tune. Last year and in
1881 the craft boasted Of 300 horse
power.

serves here; Lieut.. w. G. Tomlinson,
U. S. Navy, Bureau of Aeronautics here,
and Lieut.. C. r. Brown, q. S. Navy,
Bureau of Navigation, this city.
The Secretary Of the Navy recently
addressed letter to all ships and sta
tions concerning the activities of various
recent emergencies. 1t says in part:
The Secretary Of the Navy takes great
pleasure in bringing to the attention
Of the service the valuable aid rendered
by the Naval Reserve during the recent
earthquake in the vicinity Of Long
Beach, Calf; during the recent Ohio
River flood at Cincinnati, and during
the search operations of Barnegat,
N. j., in connection with the wreck OF
the u S. s. Akron
Under the provisions of law the
Naval Reserve may not be called out
without their own consent except dur
ing war or a national emergency. No
funds are contained in the annual ap-
propriations for active duty pay or
allowances for reservists except training
duty or active duty in connection with
the instruction, training and drilling Of
the Naval Reserve, and the amounts
are barely sufficient for these purposes.
The duties performed by individuals or
organizations of the Naval Reserve
during local emergencies are therefore
entirely voluntary and without pay or
allowances.
During the earthquake emergency
in Southern California the presence OF
ample regular forces obviated the
necessity for calling upon local reserve
organizations for patrol or other rescue
work. However, through the network
of the volunteer communication re-
serve stations, most Of which are owned
and operated by reservists, communica-
ton was established with the stricken
area and with the outside world within
less than two hours after the first
shock. When the emergency call went
forth, practically all volunteer COM
munication reserve stations within the
stricken area were manned and re-
manned in operation continuously until.
commercial communication lines were
re-established the following day"

Gar, Jr., Preparing
To Pilot in Wake
OF Famous Father

CAR WOOD, Jr., son Of the inter-
II national speedboat champion, Is
going to attempt to follow the
footsteps Of his illustrious dad.
From the Eastern intercollegiate Out
board Association headquarters in New

plication for membership. A student
of Algonac, Mich, High School, Gar Jr.
is eligible for membership in the schol-
astic division of the association, which
conducts q championship regatta In the
East each June
Close followers of speedboat racing
and yachting believe young Wood, only
is years old, intends to race outboards
for the present, to serve as a stepping
stone to the wheel Of one Of his fathers
unlimited hydroplane champions, the
famous Miss Americas. Gar Jr. has
tinkered with outboards for several
years, but never has engaged in actual
big-time competition.

Washington, N. Y, completes the quar-
tet Of challengers. Although mechanical
difficulties forced the Imp out Of two
races this season, the craft Is again
being overhauled for the titular event
at Detroit. John Wannamaker Of
Philadelphia has withdrawn his entry,
Louisa, which competed in the interna-
tional 12-liter races In Italy last Spring.
1.-TWO new boats and two seasoned
campaigners are included in the
Dodge feet which will defend the
historic trophy for the Detroit Yacht
Club. Dodge will drive his new Del
phine VIII, a British-built hull, and
Mrs. Baker is scheduled to drive her
Delphine VII, recently constructed at
Newport News, Va, from designs by
George Crouch. Illness may prevent
Mrs Baker from plotting her craft how
ever.
Bill Horn, who drove Delphine " to
victory In last years race, will again be
at the wheel Of the veteran racer, and
r. g. Ericsson Of New York will pilot
Delphine vi, the former Impshi.
A Smile course, considerably longer
than has been used in recent years, has
been laid out on the Detroit River for
the three 30-mile heats to the Gold
Cup. With the longer straightaways
and the apparent increased speed of
this years contenders, the SIT miles
per hour total race record hung up last
year by Delphine w is expected to fall
in the coming championships.
