Crook Ready
For Hearst
Title Race
By GARRETT WATERS
4 Yrvsta1.v aY1tTvI

The race committee Of the Pres
ident's Cup Association had ex-
actly this on it's hands today. And
before the gold cup events are
over next Sunday, this new entry
promises to make itself felt.
j. c. Fischer, of Cincinnati,
Ohio, is the owner of the boat.
He now has it qualified as a gold
cupper, following weeks and weeks
Of red tape with the Gold Cup
Contest Board, the American Pow
er Boat Association and the Presi-
dents Cup Regatta Association.
FiScher's entry will compete as
the Gao. He will drive it himself.
That he will be a decided dark
horse is agreed upon by PreSi-
dents Cup committeeman.
Something Else
That he will win is something
else. They cannot bring them
selves around to the idea his boat
Is as powerful as Herbert Mendel-
sons Notre Dame, last years win
ner. Nor can they feel the entry
can match the Jay Dee, owned by
Jack Dunn; The Impshi, owned
jointly by Herbert Lucker and
Horace Dodge, or Samuel Dun
ford'S Scotty II.
But the fact remains the boat
has all the qualifications, has been
given gold cup assignment and
is eligible for honors.
Fischer'S entry totals the list
of gold cupperS to nine. And when
his Gao flashes across the start
ing line, regatta committeeman
will watch with new interest a
boat, an owner and a driver in
the spotlight, but under the most
peculiar of circumstances.
Fortunes of War
Well, that's the fortunes Of not
being known, of having fight to
step up the ladder and becoming a
mystery man, such as is Mr..
FiScher'S rating.
Just another word or two about
the American Speed Boat Cham
pionShip event-which event not
only promises to give the gold
cupperS a run for feature honors,
but will.
There are four boats in partic-
ular who'll be "in there" chugging
for all they are worth. The Betty
v, driven by Melvin Crook, is one.
The others are Edmund Guggen-
helms Miss Saranac; the Jay Dee,
owned jointly by Jack Dunn and
Jack Rutherford; and the Rest
less II, owned by Steven Seth.
Hearst Trophy Up
The william Randolph Hearst
trophy is at stake. And because
the event is open to all boats, re-
gardlesS of motor and hull, it is the
SpeedieSt in America.
The Betty v triumphed last sea-
son and the season before. Melvin
Crook is out to make it three in a
row and believes he'll accomplish
the feat, since he says the boat Is
faster than ever before. To prove
the point, it chalked up a new lap
record at Red Bank this summer.
All of these four boats have
horsepowers in the neighborhood
of 1,15O. The Betty V has a Lib
erty motor, the Miss Saranac has
the same, while the Jay Dee and
the Restless II have Wright motors.
The latter is also noteworthy in
that it has IL carburetorS.
An interesting announcement
was made by Gordon Leech, chair
man Of the race committee Of the
Presidents cup Regatta ASSocia-
ton, yesterday at the associations
weekly luncheon at the Hamilton.
It was to the effect that Kaye
Don. second only to Gar Wood as
a driver in the Speedboat world,
will be here to pilot the Impshi,

Haynes, who was well on his way
to becoming a dark destroyer in
his own right until he met up with
Philadelphia'S Italia n-American

mentioned, which were Of 10, IL

Ettore is a fine looking young

might be more of the Nordic

I can assure you he Is not a

"YOu can't do that to me, I'm

hOOd!"
Ettore is the type Of fighter
who rushes out of his corner and
cuts loose from the first bell. He
is a terrific hitter, is this young
Samson, and is not afraid to take
punishment.
However, with all his power, he
did not knockout Haynes in either
Of their three meetings, which is
the tip-off that Louis isn't too
likely to crumble tonight.
What will happen to Ettore in
the meanwhile is not possible to
pre-determine. He's going to have
to stop considerable of a lombard
ment before Louis folds. Off Louis
previous fights, I should say Et-
torres best bet is to try to numb
Louis think tank, as Schmeling
did, and proceed from there.
It's the only known recipe that
has worked so far!

A denuneiation of the truth i'll
securities act" of 1888 as tending
to induce" fraud in securities
sales was filed with the supreme
court today by James NJ Beck,
American Liberty league lawyer.
AS the court resumed delibera-

new deal cases, the brief was filed
in the attack of J. Edward Jones,
New York promoter, accused of
making untruthful statements in
registering an issue of oil partici-
patton certificates with the securi-
ties and exchange commission.
Bainbridge Colby, secretary of
state under President Wilson, was
associated with Beck in the case,
which probably will be argued in
April.

itself is unconstitutional.

of how fraudulent or worthless"
it may be if the truth about it is
