going yachts in three divisions ghosted
across the line of Sarahs Ledge here
yesterday noon for the start Of the ATS
mile race around Montauk Point, at
the eastern end Of Long Island, down
the coast and up the Chesapeake Bay
to a finish of Gibson Island.
With promise OF more wind from
the South by nightfall, a select fleet
OF racers, manned by outstanding
shippers Of the East, tackled out and
prepared for three to four days and
nights Of offshore sailing before
rounding the Chesapeake lighthouse
and laying a course for the Gibson
Island Yacht Squadron, which spon-
sors the longest ocean race in the
East this season.
First across the line in the class
for larger boats was R. j. Reynolds
beautiful new black-hulled yawl Eliza
beth McCaW, from Winston-Salem
Close behind was DR.. Frank Caldrone's
schooner Tradition, hailing from West
bury, Long Island, and followed by
l.. B. Dunham's yawl Vryling II, out
OF New York. George Writings cut
ter White Cloud, a new threat from

June BOOTFE, who swan for the

Little Helen Flett is figured to be
dependable in the 22O free style. She
is very good now and constantly is
improving. Although small to be COM

Betty Strohecker will be the one to
give June Boothe a battle for No, l

Among the amateurs around Wash

How 1t Usually Is Done.

YOU'LL find in your average par
score (call it 70 by way of COM
parison) that the guy who made it

figures, went over par two or three
times and made up for these lapses
with one-putt greens for brides. The
rest OF the holes he played in par in
the orthodox manner; to wit, drive

equation is elastic. There was. for
example, the So made by Ralph Gull

remarkable part Of 1t was that Ralph

the other Is he missed the green and
either Clipped close. knocked the ball
close out of a bunker, or holed a

stands out among the examples of the
gentle art Of scrambling to a score,
but there are many others Just like
