Pretty Miss Susie. who has been
connected with Garfield for nigh
onto two decades. Is years as

time after 3 O'Clock. There will be
q baseball game between the real
old-timers and . team made up OF
younger veterans. Bottle" Cox. an
old Garfield man who is = familiar
figure to every local sandlot dia-
mond fan, will umpire the game.
There also will be horseshoe
pitching and tennis and schlag for
the women. In other words, the
playground will be turned over
completely to the "old guard" for
the afternoon and Miss Susie
promises them even more fun than
they had last year.
Among those who intend to don
sweaters and sneakers for the oc-
casion are Dick Tennyson. assistant
supervisor of Playground, and
Maude Parker. director Of women's
and girls activities in the Play
ground Department. Both Maude
and Dick, incidentally. had their

in America in Classic

According to L. Gordon Leech,

hope that other pilots may get into
the melee in the future.
Change in Runabouts Also.
The other change will find outboard
runabouts in two different classes be-
ing sent away in special races and
awards being made in the order OF

WEST SIDE CLUB
BOON TO ROWING

By LAWRENCE PERRY.

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-something
should be said about that West Side
Rowing Club Of Buffalo. whose husky
young eisht-oAr crew won the senior
eights event in the National Amateur
Regatta.
This winning crew is senior in name
only. II averages in age II years and
Is made up Of high school boys and
youngsters who are working for q
living. The senior Of the boat seems to
be Kenneth Ashby. who. as a sopho-
more last spring. stroked the Rutgers
varsity crew and rowed No. 4 in the
Buffalo shell.
Two militant incentives inspire and
inform West Side oarsmen. one Is, Of
course. to win boat races: the other is
the conservation and promulgation Of
as pure an amateur spirit as may be
found anywhere in the realm of inter-
national sport. All members Of all
club crews, as well Is the coaches and
even the president Of the organization.
Michael j. Broderick, pay dues and
deiray their own expenses on all their

GIVEN GOOD BOOST

Raising of Displacement Is
Certain to Bring Forth
Stock Runabouts.
~ MALCOLM LANlBORNE, Jr.

~ MALAUIM LAN26ONNE, Jr.
The good old days-before these
bouncing waterbugs called outboards
ruled the sport-of Gar Wood. George
Townsend and Caleb Bragg. whose
eolorful inboArd racing first made
America speedboat conscious, are on
their way back.
Recently the little outboard putputs
have been stealing the show. Inboard
events have been just added attrac-
tions in many regattas which were
staged principally for outboards.
While there has been no break with
the latter drivers. . group Of enthu-
siasts have reached the conclusion
that 1t Is high time there was more
emphasis on the big, fiashy runabouts.
That this branch Of racing Is stag
ing = comeback is being demonstrated
this very week end At Northport, Long
Island, where the first national in
board championship is in full swing.

York and owner Of . fleet Of inboards.

booming this significant event.
win BE In Action Here.
The fatherly American Power Boat
Association has taken cognizance Of
the revival and has lacked the cylin-
der displacement rating for Glass I,
which has been on the decline for
some time, from S25 cubic inches to
$50 cubic inches. This is going to
bring out an increased number OF stock
runabouts and will give the class the
much-needed shot in the arm
And the ever-alert Presidents Cup
Regatta is paying particular attention
to these drivers. To assure q really
spectacular race Chairman Gordon
Leech last week in Boston sold the A.
p. B. A. on running all inboards. with
the exception Of Z and K classes, at
one time.
A grand prize will be awarded to
the first boat to finish in addition to
trophies for each division winner.
Gerli will bring two Of his boats to
Washington next month for the in
board races.
Form New ORGANIZATION.
Recently group Of II well-known
drivers meeting in New York formed
4 new racing group that has been
named the National Inboard Asso-
citation.
A constitution and bylaws will be
presented today at Northport and
subsequent meetings will be held at
Red Bank. N. j.. August 20 and here
on September "a.
Among the aims Of the organization
will be q larger turnout Of inboards
at sanctioned regattas, a greater at
tention to the needs Of inboard drivers
on the part Of race ohicials. consider
