sonal representative of President
Roosevelt present the cup.
A letter from the late President
Coolidge to David M. Lea, then presi-
dent of the washington Canoe Club,
May 8, 1925, marked the start of the
Presidents Cup competition. In the
letter the President granted the Grub
permission to place the Presidents
Cup in competition as trophy in
the swimming contest on the Potomac
River. He wrote in part:
"It would seem that the race would
furnish the incentive for a form of
sport which requires, not only skill
and stamina, but which in itself con-
stitutes q most useful accomplish
ment. ! am glad to wish you every
success in the establishment of this
annual event, and am sure that you
can be relied upon to conduct it in
the interest of clean sport and
healthy competition"
While the Presidents Cup was not
put into competition until 1925, the
first 3-naile swim was held on the
Potomac in 1911. 1t was originated
by the late Reginald Rutherford.

Cancelled During War.

tn ECAUSE so many outstanding
n swimmers were serving abroad
1t was impossible to hold the
event in either 1917 or 1918. Diff
Guilty also was experienced in gather
ing sufficient high-class natators
together during the immediate post
war years. SO it was not until 1925
that the race was revived. Then it
was changed from battle for in
dividual honors to a team-point
race with the Presidents Cup as a
trophy to be competed for perpetually,
with the Washington Canoe Club and
the D. c. A. A. U. offering medals
for individuals. The Sprigman
Trophy also was offered the first
District man to finish. With the A.
A. U. awarding medals the race also
was recognized as the D. G. 3-mile
championship.
Clarence Ross, New York A. G. cap
tain, was the first to finish in the
1925 race, but the team trophy went
to the Brooklyn Y NJ. c. A, whose
representatives, Walter Spence, Frank
Hadnot and Fayette Smith, finished
second, third and fourth. respectively.
The 1926 race brought teams from as
far away as Minnesota and Michigan,
but many of the contestants were
forced out by the strong current. The
strong Spence won, but
the Presidents Cup was captured by
the team of Ross, Farley and Lee,
representing the New York A. G.

- OLF around Washington is
due for burst of competi-
tive activity during the next
fortnight preceding the ma
tional amateur golf championship at
Brookline, Mass. Two title events for
the linksmen of the male persuasion
will be held, along with one of the
major events of the year for the
women, who will inaugurate their
Fall schedule with the playing of the
tourney for the Keefer Cup at Chevy
Chase.
In addition the public links golfers
are to have tournament jamboree
of their own up at Rock Greek Park,
where Claude Rippy will defend his
uptown" title.
Here Is the set-up along the tourna-
ment front for the next fortnight:

TN ADDITION to these events. Olin
Dutra and Walter Hagen will ap-
pear in an exhibition match at
the Kenwood Golf and Country Club
on September 9, the day prior to the
opening of the national amateur. A
gate fee will be charged. And in ad-
dition to this you may hear any day
now of an exhibition at Congressional
starring Paul Runyan and Craig
Wood. This match now is being ar
ranged by Roland Mackenzie, but
probably will not be staged until after
the amateur.
Billy Dettweiler, the junior, cham
pion, is in quandary as to what to
do about his title. He wants to go
to Brookline at least three daye be-
fore the national, but he also wants
to retain his junior crown. He will
be q favorite to win the tournament
at Indian Spring. but he wants at
least three days practice at Brookline.
Perhaps the District fathers of the
game should do something about
having any of their tournaments so
close to the national. Two years ago
the District championship was post
poned because of its proximity to
the national at Baltimore.
