Sailorman Franklin d Roosevelt and
about 100000 other boating enthusiasts
saw the curtain go down on the 1888
racing season when the closing card
Of the Presidents Cup Regatta was
run of Hams Point yesterday after
noon.
With an o. K. from Capt. Ross T..
McIntire, his personal physician who
had kept the President indoors several
days because of a cold, the Chief
Executive took up his position at the
edge Of the course in the presidential
yacht Potomac and with evident en-
joyment saw the roaring finale.
After the concluding heat for the
Presidents Cup, the President invited
Count Theo Rossi of Italy, the winner,
aboard the Potomac to offer his con-
gratulations Accompanying the count
were James A. Councillor, general
chairman of the regatta; L. Gordon
Leach, chairman of the Racing Com
mittee. and George Seay.
With ideal weather conditions pre-
vailing, spectators jammed every
point Of vantage along the two-and-
one-half-mile course. Park police
estimated that 5000 in cars and afoot
were along Hams Point, and third
as many along the Virginia shore,
in boats and aircraft.

CANAL TENANTS
NOT TT0BEEv|CT
Residents Along the C.. & 0.
May Remain for Tenure
of Leases.

With the Government now ready to
make = $4,000, 900 purchase payment
for the historic Chesapeake and Ohio
canal, Secretary 1ckes today gave as
surances that the occupants Of homes
and property on the 1856 miles Of right
Of way may continue in possession
during the remainder Of the tenure Of
their leases with the canal company.
This respite will be welcomed by
innumerable concession holders and
tenants Of sumner homes between
Georgetown and Seneca. Nd. The
first 22-nile stretch Of the canal viii
be made into q recreational area.
Payment Of the purchase price in
full is expected to be made In the
next few days, Interior Department
oficials said on formal acceptance of
title by Mr.. Ickes. Under the terms
of the contract Of sale recently ratified
by the court the title must be given
to the Government before January l,
1899. ....-- 49,
The attitude of Mr.. 1ckes toward
the tenants was revealed in q reply
made by the National Park Service to
inquiries from many Of the present
occupants as to their future status. It
said:
while we are not in position to
make specific commitments with re-
gard to existing occupancies after the
date of expiration Of the special
permits, you may rest assured that 1t Il
not our desire to impose hardships on
individual occupants and that careful
consideration will be given to requests
for extensions or renewals for contin-
ued occupancy Of the canal property.
"You viii understand, however, that
this service must fulfill tie functionl
vested IN 1t by law In relation to up
holding the legal rights Of the Fed
eral Government"
Plans Of the National Park Service
have not progressed sufficiently "a
that . definite policy can be for1nu-
lated now with regard to continued
occupancy Of the canal property after
development work has been under
taken. It Is possible that some Of the
present owners Of concessions between
Georgetown and Seneca will be al
lowed to renew leases with the 0overn-
ment when the park ARIA is completed.
So far plans for the physical resto-
ration Of the canal are limited to the
extension Of . scenic and recreational
area to Seneca. What use will be
made of the 163-mile right Of way
from Seneca to Cumberland remains to
be determined.
Omcials said no plans had been con-
sidered for operation Of the existing
toll gate over lock 20, through which
visitors now reach vantage points fol

made of with second straight game
II to S. He saw Wesley Ferrell, his
ace, fail to survive sthe second inning
In short, he saw enough to convince
himself, privately at least. that his
pitchers haven't got what it takes.
The defeat, Washington's fourth
in the last five games, sent the club
reeling to the bottom of the first di-
vision. The Boston Red Sox, victorious
over the Indians. passed the Griffs and
moved into third place. The Detroit
Tigers, in fifth place, are uncomfort-
ably close to the Nationals.

Not only are they making gestures

Manager Bucky Harris Is cropping

Today, with fingers crossed, he was
to start Jimmy De Shong, who has
been unable to finish game so ia,
this season. In the last several days
he has seen Ferrell blasted from the
box in less than two innings, Leonard
chased in the same time, Pete Apple

Chief Hogsett laced in less than -four

For one inning yesterday 1t was a
pretty good ball game between the
Griffs and Browns. But In the
second round the cellarites jumped on
Ferrell for six hits and used base
on balls for q total Of six runs.
Joe Krakauskas put on the fire hat
and came to the rescue. He retired
the side and then reeled OF three
hitless and runless innings. In the
sixth the Browns got hit. but no
runs. and in the seventh Krakky
blanked 'em again. In the eighth,
however, Krakauskas tired and the
Browns used four hits, two bases on
balls and an error by Buddy Lewis to
make five more runs.
About the only consolation the Mats
got out of the game was the chasing
Of Oral Hildebrand, their public
enemy No. 1. They scored two runs
of Hildy in the third inning, when
Lewis doubled across Giuliani and
Krakaukas. In the eighth they staged
another two-run rally which caused
Manager Gabby Street to yank Hide

BY SID FEEDER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

Somewhere in that Valhalla reserved
for baseball's departed great, the old
man looked down today and had
hearty chuckle over the doings of the
New York Giants in general and King
Carl Hubbell and Master Melvin OFT in
particular.
He's been gone six years now, but
he found things just about the same.
McGraw's boys are there when the
chips are down.
The old man, Of course, was John
McGraw. There was only one. And
McGraw's boys, naturally, are Master
Melvin and King Carl. They were
hand-picked by the old man and
learned their A B C's from him.
McGraw. you know. used to run the
Giants, before Terrible Bill Terry's
regime. Now Bill has done swell Job,
but in his six years in the drivers seat
the two men he's relied on most and
who have let him down least are Nc
Graw's boys-the two he inherited
when the old man turned over the
reins back in 1882.

The Giants were riding a losing run.
with everything going wrong. They
had dropped six out of seven on their
Western swing, came to Chicago for
their "crooshal" series with the Cubs,
and lost the first clash there Tuesday,
sinking game and half out of the
league lead.
So it was up to McGraw's boys yes
terday-and the result was a double
header victory for Terry's Terriers,
which boosted them right back to the
top. In the opener, Master Melvin
exploded his twelfth homer of the sea-.
son in the tenth inning to break up
the game for AZ Giant win. Then
King Carl went out in the nightcap
| and took care of the rest of the job.
Only five Cubs passed second base, and
six famed as he turned in his usual
classic, posting his seventh win of the
year by Al margin.
| This left Terrible Terry's troupe in
first place by half game, with every
thing riding on todays series finale.
Going Tough for Yanks.
Meantime, the other half Of last
