Charles River Regatta
Brings Challenge
To Power Marks

BOSTON, July 22.-The Central
New England Regatta Associations S
annual racing carnival on the
Charles River Basin here next Sat-
urday and Sunday, will be the sea-
sons first real challenge to the Of
ficial motor boat competition speed
table, which have undergone only
slight revision this year.
Headlining the speed duels should
be the battle between the 225-cubic-
inch hydroplanes, the counry's most
popular inboard racing class.
Jack Cooper, Kansas City, Mo-,
, veteran. set the class competitive
-. standard at 63.739 miles per hour
last year, but Julius Manger OF
Pelham Manor, N. Y, has laid
claim to a new mark of 64.33, cred
tied to his Blue Glide Nv at North
East, Md, on July 16.
Cooper's new boat, Tops III, has
been clocked at more than 81 miles
an hour on the straightaway, but
he still is awaiting the right op-
portunity to get going on the rae
ing oval.
The regatta already has attracted
entries from most of the outstand-
ing 225 and outboard drivers from
the East and Midwest.
! In addition to the 225 and out
board hydroplane Glass M, A, B, c
and x races, a new event for fam
i1v rl1pa hol1ts ouped hv residepts
OF New England has been added.

Will James leading. The Jersey star
placed second today.
River Is Rough, too.
While the stars were taking a
beating in the heavy seas, the smaller
classes found the going almost as
tough over WindWard-leeWard
course in the Magothy River.
In sixth position at the halfway
mark White went out in front to
beat a fleet of IA select boats that
included the 1888 comet champion,
Edward Merrill of Riverton, N. j.
Robert Levin and Phil Somervill, of
Beverly, N. j., finished second and
third. Merrill was fourth. Two other
Washington skippers, Ernest Covert
and Clyde Cruit were fifth and sixth.

has become the jack pot for big
game anglers.
About mid-June the white marlin
arrive of the Jack Spot in droves,
hungry and looking for fight. Last
year the record for any port was
smashed to smithereens when 9l0
white marlin were boated here. Pre-
viously Cuban port held the record
with 200
This year the 1888 record seems
doomed, with marlin back in larger
numbers and hungrier than ever.
In the first three weeks Of the cur
rent season 140 were landed, against
two caught in a similar period last
year.
Game fishermen are fearful now
that the record catches will result
in depletion of the species. DR.. R.
A. Nesbit, director of Middle Allan
tic research, and Swepson Earle,
Fisheries Bureau engineer, instituted
tagging operations as the first step
in the marlin research survey.
Rubber bands with celluloid num-
bered buttons are affixed over the
bills of martins not foul-hooked
and fatally hurt when caught. Other
numbered metal tags are clipped
to their gill covers before the fish
are released.
DR.. Nesbit hopes that recapture of
the tagged fish by anglers will give
information about the range and
life habits of the marlin.
So far as science knows, the mar
lin, like Topsy, lust groWed." White
marlin, peculiar to the Atlantic
Ocean, have kept the secret of their
spawning and their migrations
through the years. The smallest
white marlin ever boated weighed
"a pounds. Where they live before
they leap from nowhere, full grown,
nobody knows.
White marlin, not true swordfish,
are oval-bodied, with round bills.
Their name derives from marlin
spike
Known as the fightin est game fish
on the Middle Atlantic Coast, their
average size is 70-100 pounds. They
do most of their fighting above wa
ter. walking on their tails in a
series of leaps. and shaking their
heads wildly to throw the hooks.
Fishermen fear that unless tag
ging produces data on which to base
control measures, the sheer savagery
of the leaping beauties will end in
race suicide, as more than a thou
sand marlin are destined to deco
rate trophy room walls this year.
There is at present no limit on
the number of marlin which may
be taken, but sportsmen and skip
pers are uniting in frowning on
game hooks who fail to release fair
hooked small fish.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, July 22.-
Chesapeake Bays reputation as
a flsherman's paradise dropped
today when six of the eight fish
ing boats with SO Chicago sports
men aboard we're "skunked" in
their quest for fighting fish to-
day.
Two boats, with 81 Chicagoans
aboard, brought back SO hard
head, averaging 212 pounds. The
Al visitors on the other six craft,
got only ride around the bay.
The two boats which caught
fish were skippered by Capt. R. H.
Howes and Capt. H. E. Avery,
both Of Annapolis. The Zero
boats were in command of fish
ing shippers from Rock Hall, at
the other side of the bay from
Annapolis. and they didn't find
fish in Western Shore waters.
The party will remain another
day. 1t arrived this morning by
special train from Chicago.

NEW YORK, July 22.-Gar Wood,
jr., Of Algonac, Mich. and Harry
Birdsall, jr., of Yonkers, N. Y, have
been credited with new outboard
hydroplane speed marks made In
mile trials at Richmond, Va, on July
2, Charles F. Chapman, chairman Of
the National Outboard Racing Com
mission, has announced.
Woods new mark was made in
class c, amateur, at speed Of 60.S6
miles per hour, the first time a mile
a minute ever had been exceeded in
this class.
This record erased the 58.92-miles-
per-hour speed Wood made at
Brownsville, Tex, in February.
Birdsall also broke his own record
in class F, professional, when he
was clocked at 63.272 miles per hou.,
compared with a speed of 62.77 miles
per hour he made on the same course
last July.
Charles Mack of Milford, N. j., also
received recognition of a new class F
racing runabout speed of 56.74 miles
per hour made in the Richmond
trials. This broke the miles
per-hour record held by AL Giberti
of Stockton, Calf, since 1884.

good craftsmanship and cool-head-
ness of a third member of the crew
racing one of the 25-footers last
Saturday night. A big sea waved
the little sloop off its course and
sent the two into the black waters
of Love Point as they tended their
spinnaker. The only man remaining
aboard jibed tine boat and, with
spinnaker lashing wildly, managed
after 20 minutes to pick up COM
panions.
Straighten Ship, Finish Second.
Like the good seaman they were,
the lads Strengthened ship and con-
tinued the race to finish second
The trouble apparently lies not with
the sailors but with the boats they
sail.
Another entry, only 3 feet
longer, but of an entirely diff
ferent construction, found the
going as comfortable as an af-
ternoon sail of Hains Point.
All of the c. B. Y.R. A. officials
the majority of them owners of
larger racing craft-are in sympathy
with the movement to give the
younger shippers of boats that sell
dom get a chance to do any racing
IN their own class a try at pitting
their skill against the elements
which, even on the Bay, can provide
all the thrills of race to Bermuda,
All agree that If the little fellows
insist on long distance racing they
best had do it in boats that are de-
signed and prepared to take beat

This year special guests for the
occasion will be the complete men,
bership of the recently-appointed
State Conservation Boards, the
Chesapeake Bay Commission under
Edwin Warfield, jr., and the Game
and Inland Fisheries Commission
under Garner Denmead.
This affair will give every
sportsman a chance to meet
personally the men who will
direct Marylands outdoor des-
tiny for the next few years.
Gov. O'Conor also probably will be
there. Members of all sportsmen S
organizations in Maryland and the
District are invited to attend and
take part in the informal discussion
about hunting and fishing, what to
do about it and the ways and means
of helping those outdoor sports.
Bronzeback Memories.
The cool days of last week brought
thoughts of bass fishing, which really
won't get good for another month
or so yet. And each year we have
to go greater distance from WASH
ington for good black bass waters
Time was when Piscataway and
Gunston Cove were considered good,
but the water chestnut growth now
sends us away up the Potomac to
West Virginia or down to Aqua
Creek. The Government, though, is
trying to cut down that water chest
nut and in year or so fishing in
those nearby coves may be restored
And, speaking of bass fish
ing, reminds us of the best
streamer fly we ever had for
that sort of work, the Polar
Bear.
We purchased it one day while
stopping off in HagerstoWn, and it
was the best thing we had all last
season. 1t caught fish right and
left. 1t finally was taken away by
a big bass, and to this day we
haven't been able to find a dupli-
cate Our trips this fall will be in
complete unless we have a Polar
Bear, so if any of you anglers know
where we can purchase, beg, borrow
or steal one let us know. Most
anglers have their favorite lure, and
ours was the Polar Bear.
Last Wednesday at Ocean City
was rough, choppy, very foggy and
somewhat tough on the anglers. So
"only" 13 marlin and 2 tuna were
landed. Local anglers to connect
were Steve Fuller, who caught a 65-
pound marlin while fishing with
Gee ege Sutton on his private cruiser
Happy Days; Paul o. Drury, who
landed two marlin of so and 63
pounds with Capt. Lev Raymond
aboard the Lev-Lou, and E. D.
Roberts, who got one marlin with
Capt. Frank Parsons on the Kathe-
rine.

inches wide. Tradition says that it
was the work Of Queen Matilda,
wife Of William the Conqueror, and
her maids. It depicts scenes Of the
Norman conquest Of England and
William the Conqueror's victory at
Hastings. The tapestry is housed in

frequently the larger oceanic is
lands are surrounded by innumer-
