BY MALCOLM LAMBORNE, Jr.

With the signature of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury upon draft Of
regulations expected this week, the
United States Coast Guard Reserve
will swing into action as volun-
tary auxiliary of owners of motor
boats and yachts.
Considered the most important
legislation since the Motorboat Act
of 1910, this Coast Guard Act follows
nearly years study of means to
promote wider knowledge of rules
governing pleasure craft as well as
to foster an understanding relation
ship between owners and enforcing
agencies.
Early in the year proposed recon-
mendations and regulations were
sent to yacht clubs and their men,
bership and other boating organiza-
tions. The draft to be signed by
Secretary Morgenthau represents, in
the majority, the suggestions Of
American yachtsmen. In June of
this year Congress authorized the
United States Coast Guard to estab-
lish the Reserve.
Big Help to Regulars.
The two functions outlined at this
time for a Coast Guard Reservist are
the saving of life and property and
the patrolling of marine parades and
regattas.

Levin to Sail Here.
Having sold his Bad News in
which he recently won the national
championships of the comet class,
young Bob Levin who originally in
tended to compete in the President s
cup races. compromised by creWing
for Jim Speer, young Eastern Shore
sailor of no mean ability. Speer,
sailing brand new boat, wasn't
able to get the kinks out of her un-
til the series had all but ended.
Luis Antonio Santaella, son of
Commodore Luis Santaella of Club
Nautico de San Juan in Puerto Rico
frankly admitted he couldn't under
stand why his Puerto Rico II
couldn't get going last week. 1t
was just the boys weather. They
are accustomed to racing in the
fresh trades that blow over the is
land. Sundays breeze was just
that.
The starting gun used last
week took its toll in injuries to
the visitors from the West In
dies.
Genial Vice Commodore Robert
Lopez of Mayaguez caught his /and
in closing the barrel while officiat-
ing in the Saturday starts. The next
day Commodore Santaella at the
very last salute for class winner
did the same thing.
Some wit suggested that entries
in this years regatta should have
been equipped with gas masks, not
because of any aerial attack, but
from the stencil arising from the
temporary emptying of sewage into
Anacostia River while a main line
is being repaired.
Here's hoping they get it fixed
before long or the fall series might
fold up for want of decent breathing
space.

K. Of {. Horse Show
Offers Rich Prizes
Next Week End
Mony Glasses Expected
To Draw Fine Fields
To Meudowbrook

Due to the cancellation of the
1pter-American Horse Show, the
fifth annual Knights of Columbus
show scheduled for next Saturday
and Sunday at Meadowbrook takes
on added importance as it will be
the last chance here this season to
see top-ranking performers in action.
Having quickly become one Of the
leading shows IN this sector, the
event this fall will attract many
leading out-of-town stables. The
prize list, recently released, shows
a well-balanced program, both for
old timers and newcomers, not to
mention veteran children exhibitors.
Prizes Total $1,000.
A total of $1,000 in cash and tro-
phies is ready for distribution among
the winners. Two championships

departmental costume class, two
5000 stakes and skyscraper num-
ber are features. The costume class,
restricted to employees of the Dis
trict and United States Govern
ments, is expected to prove one of
the real high lights of the show.
The jumper division, which always
attracts the keenest interest from
the spectators, embraces seven class
es, including the championship. Be-
sides a triple bar, touch and out,
skyscraper and the stake, there is
an open jumping event which will
return the winner of the Jackson
Challenge Trophy.
Outstanding classes for the hunt
ers are the stake, open hunters,
Corinthian women's hunters and the

A new champion Of the Depart

time in seven years was announced
last night when Statistician Elwood
Hof1ecker revealed the Department
of Agriculture the winner of the
1889 campaign.
1t was the first time the Aggies
had won in the 25-year history of
the league and the victory gave
them a years possession of the
loops perpetual trophy.
The Aggies not only ended Treas
ury's stranglehold on the title
which it had held since 1892, but
did so in convincing manner, wind
ing up seven full matches in front
Of the runner-up Navy Yard con-
tingent and 81 ahead of the de-
throned champs.

c handicap classes will open a six
week series of Sunday afternoon
races that will carry local shippers
into the frostbite season.
The penguin began its life
here early this year when mid
winter sailing in small boats
brought demand for an mex
pensive one design boat.
Led by Bill Heintz and Ralph
Youngs, former 20-footer owners,
the class quietly attracted a number
of old-timers and newcomers to
racing Building at homes contin-
ued through the summer.
A handful put in an appearance
at the West River regatta over Labor
Day, but it was not until last week
end that they made their official
debut, a debut that attracted several
nationally prominent yachtsmen at
tending the regatta.
With frostbiting on the minds of
the more enthusiastic small-boat
sailors, this cockeyed sport promises
to take on new life this winter under
impetus of the penguin class.
Outboarders Gain in Favor.
Jim Mulroy, hard working secre-
tary of the National Cupboard Asso-
citation, revealed Friday with no lit
tie pride that this popular branch of
speedom experienced its biggest year
in history, both from the standpoint
OF recruits to recreational boating
and from activity on regtata circuits
since last winter in Florida.
To clinch his contention Mulroy
said that more outboard motors have
been sold to newcomers this year
than ever before and that II of the
recognized American outboard speed
marks have been broken. When
more than $4,000 people drive 20
miles to witness the class champion
ships, as happened last week end at
Fort Worth, Tex, that's a pretty
good sign of the outboards' appeal,
Mulroy believes.
With autumn near, the recrea-
tional fleet that annually spends
the winter in Florida waters soon
will be moving along the Intra-
coastal Waterway.
Early birds using the 1,100-mile
route between Norfolk and Key
West will find the channels open
and prevailing depths almost equal
to project dimensions.
New construction work, accord
ing to reports, will be encountered

Two upsets marked the four semi

tennis tournament at Friends School
yesterday as Hugh Lynch and
Alphonse Smith reached the final
round in singles and Lynch and
David johnson and Tom Mangan
and Jimmy Farrin the title bracket
in doubles
AS result, Lynch and Smith will
battle for The Evening Star Cup at
2:15 o'clock today, with the titular
doubles match following Immediate
ly. Ample bleacher seats and park
ing space are available for spectators.
Mather Tough Victim.
The form reversal in singles found
Smith, 31-year old bespectacled vet
eran, outlasting 19-year- old johnson
in three sets, 6-3. 1-6. Ga, while
Smith and Ed Mather, seeded second
in doubles, bowed to Mangan and
Farran, seeded third, Ga, Ga.
Mather, incidentally, gave Lynch
a rousing scrap in the other singles
semifinal, holding two set points in
the second set before losing, 6-4,
81. Mather got off to a 80 lead
in the first set only to see Lynch win
six OF the next seven games, but
Mather overcame Lynchs similar
lead in the second to reach set point
at 7-6.
Smiths Versatility Decides 1t.
The Smith, johnson match pro-
duced excellent tennis, with the for
mer's ability to mix em up proving
the deciding factor. Smiths change
of pace and timing continually threw
young johnson off stride and di-
minished the effectiveness of his
power drives
Lynch and johnson easily won
their semiflnal doubles match from
George Herbert and Jack Smith,
6-3, 81.

Yochtsmen in Reserve Force
Will Relieve Coast Guard of
Much Minor Shore Duty

In time of war the part a yacht
flying the Reserve flag can play will
be of immeasurable assistance.
While regular Coast Guard boats
are engaged in the actual patrol of
our coasts. some of those smaller
duties that now require great
deal of line personnel and equip
ment can be assumed by Reservists.
The Coast Guard last year alone
patrolled nearly 500 regattas or
other marine events. In a similar
period they effected the rescue from
peril Of 8,643 persons as well as CIV
ing assistance in nearly $4,000 cases

of age who owns yacht or motor

larger than IS feet-or not less than

Such boat. however, must be in
charge of an officer or enlisted man
during its assignment. Although
no compensation is provided for
personal services of skipper or his
crew, the Coast Guard will pay for
fuel costs and any damage suffered
by the yacht while under assign
ment.
Groups to be Organized.
Small organizations will be set ur
in each Coast Guard district and
will be administered Jointly by dis

motorboat organizations.
Plans call for the establishment
OF f1otillas of not less than 10 Re-
servists' boats. with a commander

Two lines of advancement, deck
