regatta seems destined to be the
largest and most comprehensive held
since -inaugurated in 1924 The fact
that the country's crack drivers will
be in Richmond, Va, for the national
championship just before the regatta
here arouses belief that most of them
will trek the remaining los miles
northward for what now Is one of
Americas biggest motor boat classics.
That the sailing events are keeping
pace with the power boat develop
ments, moreover, is seen in the latest
statement by Sailing Chairman Jack
Marsh, who lists 33 events for the
wind-blown craft for the two days
allotted them. According to Marsh
there should be at least $50 sailboats
entered in the following classes:
Canoes, snipes, 20-foot open. sea

This Is the 10 per cent nuisance tax,

been used for the general expenses of
the Government, without regard for
the fact that 1t is tax on sportsmen
and might well be used to further
their interests.
The bill provides that this money
shall be set aside in special fund for

EVEN CRACK PROS ERR ON RULES;
 DISQUALIFIED IN U. s. COMPETITION
By ART KRENZ NEA Service Golf Writer

Paul Runyan disqualified himself the day after his score had been printed in practically every news paper in the United States.
 On Runyan's second round of the National Open in Chicago. Chick Evans, his playing companion and marker, gave him four on the last hole instead of Q five. Paul signed the card dnwent home believing that he was but four strokes from the leader.
 The next day he looked at his score and discovered the error.
 He reported it to the committee. but had to take the disqualification under stroke rule No. 5, which says that the penalty applies only to the competitor whose score yves re- turned incorrectly and not to the competitor who acted as the mark CT.
 At Merton. Pa., the following year, Craig Wood was disqualified. He played one shCt with the wrong ball on the 18th hole, found his ball, and finished the round without slis- pecting that he was in error.
 Consequently. he failed to report the incident to the committee.

Grover Cleveland Alexander, of Cubs, Shut Out Reds
 With Two Lone Hits
May 2s. 1923, at Chicago

(This is the best modern pitching performance for any 25th day of May.)
 Grover Cleveland Alexander, pitching for the Cubs, came through with 8 two-hit game against Cin- sinnati, to win 4 to 0. Chicago punched hits of Pete Donahue in the second and third innings, which combined with Caveney's errors, enabled them to score all their runs. Outfielders Burns and Duncan got the only two hits (both singles) and incidentally they were the only Reds Alexander permitted to reach base, Grover having Daubert, Roush, and the est of Pat Moran's outfit corn- pletely at his mercy.
 The fielding of both teams was fast and certain, Cayeney alone, spelling an otherwise perfect day on the offense, although Friberg did out loose with wide peg. Cab by" Harnett pulled of couple of sensational stops at first on thrown balls, while Growers fielding of ground balls was little short of marvellous.
 Note: The next best modern day pitching performance for this date occurred in 1917, when Dutch" Leonard let the Browns down with two hits (both singles), Boston win- ming 3 to 0. However, Leonard gave three bases on balls to none for Alexander.
