ENDS TWO-YEAR
REIGN Of JACOBY
Mark of Comparative Rookie
in Racing Game Might
Stand for Years.
BY MALCOLM LAMBORNE, JR.

" " ernoon in the second day
of competition in the
Presidents Cup regatta a new cham
pion reigned over the folk who gain
their thrill from the little put-puts.
Out there on the placid Potomac
but not smooth enough to see the bet
tering of any world records-when the
noisy drama ended yesterday, the two
year rule of Fred Jacoby of North
Berger. N. j., as Americas outboard
high scorer was terminated by an
amateur with only two years Of ex-
tensive racing experience, Doug Fonda
of Orange, N. j., who swept the class
A and C events.
BY wide margins We mean the re-
markable leeway of 1855 points. 2,025
of which were rolled up in some so
minutes of wave-bouncing around
the 46-year -old Coast Guard cutter
Apache, Fonda triumphed. Without a
doubt the greatest feat in motor boat
racing. the industrial banker from
Orange, in his Miss Ricochet, could
retire safely for number of years and
be assured his seasons total points of
S5.392 would stand unmatched.
His Victories Varied.
DUT not alone in the A and c races
did he gather those precious tall
lies. He took third in the final heat
for the BIS, a second in the first heat
for the class F and would have done
better than a fourth in this final race
but for mistaking Andy Duffy's start
Ing flag.
Mrs Mary Daller, one of the 10 Lead
Ing drivers for the Rochester Trophy,
awarded to the one making the best
score in only two classes of a sane
toned regatta, stood next in outboard
history written yesterday by virtue OF
firsts in the midget division and the
free-for all handicap, the latter in a
field of IL crack speedsters.
Driving her tiny Lolly Pop from
Chester, Pa, Mrs. Daller, one of few
women professionals, slipped out IN
front before the start of the second
lap for the midget class, which had
IL starters. and won handily over
Frances Defibaough of Woodside, Del.
In the nightcap event, the free-for-all,
she showed the way to Dick Neal OF
Kansas City, Mo, the boy who landed
on top in the professional c class and
second in the fiashy F division.
Fastest speed of the day, that IN the
super-noisy class F, went to sword
r. ,fD Do, O r1fl from
out Manitowoc way in Wisconsin. He
was clocked at 52.63l mp.h. for the
three laps of miles. which all but the
nidgets raced, in that final for the F's.
WulIschleger Luckless.
THERE was a real tough-luck yarn
l. to be told back at the pits over
near the Washington Airport. Arthur
Wullschleger, the Cornell Jonah, came
out in front for the amateur class B.
only to find he had been disqualified
for beating the gun. Then in the class
c event, going great guns, all of a
sudden he found his boat going from
under him while he fetched up in the
chilly river.
Young Gar Wood, jr, was looked
for as each event rolled around, but
his three outboard jobs shipped down
at the last minute along with mechan-
les remained unused at the pits. Ap-
parently. the lad from Michigan had
missed plane connections.
