Rowing smoothly over the mile and

time was minutes 7 seconds, COM
pared with Princeton's 9.O9.5.

THE triumph was the first ma jor

Paul Tomalin, donor of trophies

Smythe, Cruit Ambitious.

TN THE comet class, which goes
across flve minutes later, anything
might happen. Werner Smythe and
Clyde Cruit, recognized leaders of
the class, have built new boats with
an eye on the national championship.
But, as Is true with new craft,
they require an amount of breaking
IN and tuning up. In the meantime,
such veterans as Maj Jacobs, Ernest
Covert, Bob Wagner and F. w. Clark
and two new shippers, William White
and John thinner, may pull a sur
prise.
The class A handicap, boats more
than 20 feet in length, can be ex-
pected to provide close competition
from the time they start at 2:35.
Jack Marsh's yawl Zephyr, the Co.
rlnthlan Sea Scouts two cat boats,

piper of Ted De Boer continually are

first home series of the year. Joe
Judge was the particular star Of
the game, scoring two runs and
making two hits, his double in the
second with the bases loaded being
especially timely.
Centrals ILL victory over Tech
in the interhigh series proved
what apparently has been evident
from its pre-series play-that it is
the best-balanced high school
team in the city. Inability to hit
Schafer consistently was the main
reason for Techs defeat. Jack

It really started back in September
Of 1884 when snipe from the Corin-

As THE sailing craft began to crop
up from everywhere and yachts
men sensed the beginning of a new

citation was formed, bringing to Wash
ington the first organized yachting
activity in more than 80 years. Jack
Marsh of the Corinthian was elected
commodore; Grover FarnsWorth,
owner of that small sloop from the
Old Dominion, was made vice COM
modore, and Arthur Clephane, who
started it all by challenging Farms
worth in his snipe, received the Office
OF secretary treasurer.
The next Spring the Capital Yacht
Club joined forces with the two
charter clubs and entered five new
comets, that trim one-design class of
16-footers which continues to grow
each season. Today the Sailing As
sociation begins its fourth year with
more than so registered boats
At 2:15 the 2O-foot open class will
cross the starting line off the Naval
Air Station and take one of three
courses around Hams Point, up the

trips may be had at special rates.
We can say from personal expert
ence that you will find captains al
Solomons much more reasonable when
1t comes to discussing price terms
than at many another spot on the bay
Their boats also compare favorably
with those in other ports This con-
dition comes partially from the fact
that it is such popular fishing port
that many boatmen operate from
there. and naturally competition
is keen.
For overnight trips rooms
can be found at numerous
boarding houses or the hotels
for around 81 night. Meals
cost approximately $3.50 \ day.
Following is partial list of boat
captains at Solomons. There are
many more, but those listed are per-
their equipment and ability. Before
leaving on trip down there, it is best
to phone in advance for reservations
The rates are only 80 cents. station
tostation, or 40 cents. person-to-p per-

where none would be had II you went
