the first heat of the Presidents Cup,
Jack Dunn of Miami alone being
missing from the final entry list.
In addition to Notre Dame. Ma ia,
Hotsy Totsy, Ell Lagarto and Delphine,
Dodge entered the Impsfi, driven
by Bennett Hill of auto racing fame:
Harold Wilson Of Ingersoll, Canada
went with Miss Canada, I'd, and J. c.
Fischer of Cincinnati had a f1rst-time
starter in Miss Cincinnati. The last
three didn't figure in the running.
Breaking for the first lap. Ma ia
showed first, but Refs soon had El
Lagarto out in front, and then on the
third lap, Ma ia dropped back and
Delphine moved up to challenge. At
that stage, it looked like these two
all over, with Notre Dame trailing.
After the accident. however. the pic
ture shifted. A burst of speed put
Notre Dame in front near the end of
the fifth lap and Clel Perry held her
there, with Ell Lagarto and Ma ia
running two-three for the rest Of the
distance
Buoy Marks Wreckage.
Meanwhile. the submerged wreckage
Of the Delphine had been marked with
q buoy but it was decided that this
might cause q later accident, and the
craft in which Dodge Is reported to
have spent $4,000 was allowed to sink
until it could be salvaged.
The start of the second heat saw
Ma ia off in front, with Rutherford
this time holding to his advantage for
the full Is miles despite repeated chal-
lenges from Perry. The others were
outdistanced, and Impshi had to put
in an extra lap for beating the gun.
El Lagarto went out with engine trou-
BILE on the second lap.
Under the point system governing
the competition, Notre Dame has 100
points for the first and second and
Ma ia 625 for third and first. and
unless disaster overtakes the pair to-
day, the WINNER lies there. and 1t
would take the elimination of the two
to give Hotsy Totsy and E Lagarto q
look-in. granting that El Lagarto goes
today.
The American Power Boat Associa-
ton championship which attracted 13
