Presidents Cup Regatta wound up of
Hams Point late yesterday.
The cup race, feature event, was
won by the Notre Dame. owned by
Herbert MendelSon of Detroit, and
driven by Clel Perry, when ill-luck
continued to dog her nearest COMPETE
tor. the Hotsy Totsy II. the entry of
Victor Kliesrath of South Bend, Ind.
handled by Bill Horn.
The first smile heat of the 10-mile
race for 225-cubic- inch hydroplanes,
which produced the stiffest COMPETE
ton OF the day, was the setting for the
two worst mishaps.
Dick Reckner Hurt.
Early in the first heat, the Rex
Boys, driven by Dick Reckner Of Sc
verna Park, Md. whose brother Jack
was his mechanic, turned over on the
west end of the course, tossing both
members of the crew into the Po-
tomac, and bruising Dick Reckner up
so badly that he was taken to Emer-
gency Hospital. After receiving treat
ment. he went home.
At the start of the final lap. at the
other end of the lane, Jack Marston
of Severna Park, drove the Maypat
into q buoy, in making sharp turn
tearing his craft to pieces and inlur-
ing his left leg. He was put to bed
aboard the Coast Guard cutter
Apache. the judges boat. and it was
said that it likely would be necessary
to take X-rays today to determine II
his leg had been broken. His me-
chanic, j. A. Eckman, escaped with
the customary wetting. Marston said
his propeller hit the buoy.
SpoiIs Crawford's Chances.
THE accident cost Andy Crawford,
l. the Capital sportsman, whatever
chance he might nave had, for, as
Marston crashed, Crawford, going by
in his Ednandy, pulled up short and
raced back to assist the Maypats
crew.
Earlier on the card, Jerome Neck
Ter Of Jersey City, in the class c out
board Vallery, also clipped a buoy
and lost his boat, but got out with
out injury.
In the free rail- cupboard race
George Minterling Of Cambridge, Nd.
turned over in the Yellow Jacket,
while at the start of the ladies' free
for-all Lillian Offutt of Highland
Park, Va, capsized in the Burgoo
King, also an cupboard. The out
boards were having their troubles all
afternoon, the race in which Minter-
ling vent over, starting out with eight
contenders and ending with four,
three others shipping so much water
that they had to De towed on the
course.
The Presidents Cup race was more
or less of an anti-climax. Due to the
penalty the Hotsy Totsy II had in
CURED Saturday in the first heat
when the luckless Horn first beat the
gun, and then overturned, the Notre
Dame went into the second lap yes
terday with q time advantage Of about
81 minutes. Elapsed time for the
three 15-mile heats determines the
winner, and Horn picked up about a
minute and q half in the second,
which he won at the rate Of 51.22
miles per hour. Perry taking things
easy in the Notre Dame.
Clutch Spells End.
AS THEY lined up for the final
the Hotsy Totsy developed clutch
trouble and that was the end.
Jack Dunn's Jay-Dee, which ran
second Saturday, also accepted the
issue yesterday and finishing all heats
the Miamian got second place.
Jack Rutherford's Becky, third on
Saturday, didn't 60 yesterday. and
once again, Horace Dodge's Impshi
developed engine trouble early and
went out. Dodge, who did his own
driving Saturday, turned the job
over to Frithiof Ericsson, yesterday,
but he hardly got start on the
second heat, before the Impshi was
out again.
The 225 race was the thriller, and
the wind-up was q popular victory
for DR.. Cecil H. Bagley Of Baltimore,
eminent eye specialist, who whipped
his Wilmer III out in front in the
first five-mile heat, and then ran
bang-up second in the final, finish
ing about two boat lengths OF Of
the Miss Nantes, with Arno APPEL Of
Atlantic City at the wheel.
Guggenheim Breaks Shaft.
T,HE American Speedboat Cham
pionship, the last race on the
program, promised a hard fight when
Edmond Guggenheim Of New York
came in with his Miss Saranac to
do battle with Melvin Crook Of Upper
Montclair, N. j., in the Becky v,
which Saturday, in the mile trials
set what probably will be an Ameri-
can single-engine record Of 82.759
miles per hour. Guggenheim. who
originally had planned to start Miss
Saranac in the Presidents Cup, made
but one lap. however, when he broke
o shaft, and the Becky v just coasted
home ahead Of Jay-Dee III.
The Jay-Dee III, however. had
good day. After setting class e
inboard record of $3.50 m. p. h. ia
Saturdays trials, she was sold over
night by Jack Dunn. to Rutherford,
the Port Warrington, Long Island
