 The two-day meet drew an all- time record of 291 regatta starters last year and features the AS mile, three heat national sweepstakes championship. Owners of 225 cubic inch hydroplanes have long con- tended that their craft are on par with the more expensive Gold Cup creations and believe victory in this event will prove their claims.

 TEST TONIGHT
Kodak, Crack Chicago lightweight, Meets Jew
 ish Star at West Haven

West Haven, Aug. 19-The finest lightweight bout booked for this territory since the "palmy days" before the world war will be staged at Donovan Field, Savin Rock, to- night, when Leo Kodak of Chicago steps out against Julie Kogan of New Haven in 8 feature ten rounder. Action will start at 8:30 o'clock.
 Both contenders for lightweight championship honors, the fighters finished up their training with light drills at the Elm City gym yester- day. There was a large gathering of fight fans on hand and they were impressed by the speed and condi- tion of the principals.
 Classy
 Kodak is especially fast and $ certain to provide Kogan with his stiffest test since he turned pro. Sometimes brilliant and at other times lackadasical in past bouts, de- pending upon his mood, Kogan seems keen and ready for tonight's encounter.
 : An eight-rounder, two sizes and a four make up the remainder of the program, with Willie Andrews of New Haven, and Ceferino Bronco, Portugese lightweight, appearing ill special eight-rounder.
 In six rounds the Barbour brothers of Providence, Oliver and Billy, are matched the former with Angelo Rodano of Norwalk, and the latter with Kid Sal, fast punching Meri- den youth.

DOLAN, BALLUS RETURN 60 IS
 SET THURSDAY
Stellar State WeIters Meet Again-Bell, CiarlO, Wil-
 Hams King to Show

With the announcement of the match less than thre days old, Wa terbury A. c. ticket department did a ''land office" business over the weekend to satisfy fight fans look ing for choice sets for the return bout between Irish Eddie Dolan and Johnny Bellus of New Haven, sched- uled for Randolph Cloves Stadium Thursday night of this week. Bellus, fifth best lightweight in the nation last year, regards the bout as a great chance to "get even" with De- Ian for a win which the Waterbury welterweight scored in New Haven last May a two-point edge by the referee, which cost Bellus plenty of ring work in New York.
 Wants To "Show Elm"
 Dolan feels that he is able to put the "eonvincer" on New Haven pro- motors by beating Bellus badly, and convincingly enough that will result in a September bout with Louis Kid Coco, the greatest money fight" now in the offing. Dolan will be the favorite to win over Bellus again, but the margin will be plenty close because the New Haven Polish boy has beaten Julie Kogon, Chalky Wright, Yucatan Kid, Tommy Spie- gel, Charley Conner and other top- notchers and cannot be held too lightly, especially now that he knows how to cope with Dolan's southpaw style.
 Irishers
 In addition to Dolan, two other fighting Irishmen" will show on the completed card. Irish Kid Bar ton of New York meets Tommy Ciarlo in six rounder; Bill Con- nerty of New oYrk is paired with Jimmy Bell, New Haven colored clouter who never turns in bad fight. Tn addition, the matchmak- ing department came up with a corking sixer in which Mickey Wi- Hams of New Haven and Ernie Costa of New York, whiel Maxie aKtz and Tony Gillo of New Haven are also down for a six round go. Cotton King and Charley Seeleg of Albany, N. Y. open the show in four round bout.

 Horse, ReachesU.

Boston, Aug 19.-(UP)-Bahram, of the 1895 derby at Epson Downs, England, was safe in Boston harbor aboard the British freighter Vile De Mons today after dash through the e-infested waters from the Bri- tish Isles.
 Unbeaten for two years carrying the colors of Aga Khan, Indian potentate, Bahram recently was purchased for about $160,000 - one of the highest prices ever paid-by an American syndicate including Walter P. Chrysler, Jr., Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, Sylvester w.. Labrot and James Cox Brady.
 Bahram made the voyage in a special box stall built in the stables of the freighter and was carefully watched by trainer. The horse will stay aboard until the Vile De Mons reaches New York and then will be transferred to the Vanderbilt farm on Long Island.
 The freighter also brought 30O00 cases of Scotch whiskey from the British Isles for Boston and New York distributors.

TODAY'S SPORT
 PARADE
BY HENRY McLEMORE NUnlted Press Staff Correspondent,

NUnated Press Staff Correspondent)
 New York, Aug. 1s - U.P0 = Putting the sport shot here and @ere:
 Patience is its own reward. I pick cd Bimelech to win the Kentucky Derby and he lost. I also named Bimelech as the greatest horse since Man o'War and now he won't even finish out the season, proving that the kiss of death is potent as ever. Now that the Bradley colt has bid farewell, the turf world will know just how he might have run if new jockey had been on his back. Just two weeks ago Basil James was to have ridden him = h place of Freddie Smith - in the American Derby but the track came up mud. Saturday Don Meade was supposed to have the mount in the Travers, but again Bimmie was scratched. If he doesn't come back and if you remember Lawrin, Dauber, War Admiral, Stagehand and many another you know they very seldom do come back - the argument of whether he was a poor horse or Smith or poor Jock never will be settled
 The southwest has developed many good football team, dozens of crack golfers and occasionally flrst-rate boxer, but as best re- member Don McNeill is the sections first to top-hight tennis player by that mean a good enough man to whip Frank Kovacs in straight sets as McNeill did in the newport Casino tournament this, by the way, was the second tourney in which McNeill has won a cup by humbling Kovacs the decision of Whizzer White to join the pro- fsesional Detroit Lions should rank that all America waited for the All- mark it was only yesterday ss some sort of an historical land American to announce if he would accept $15,00O worth of football or a Rhodes scholarship. In view of recent international developments, it is probably a good thing White had his cake and ate it, too
 It is strange that in this country NC have only two great champions, and that one is famed to almost the same extent that the other is ig- nored the first is Joe Louis, and I need not introduce him. The second is Alice Marble, and for all the notice sch gets she might be a elerk behind perfume counter in- stead of perhaps the greatest wo- man tennis player any of us ever has seen apparently she is so much better than her opponents Shat 1t won't be news until she is defeated

National Doubles On At Longwood; Men In Scramble;
BY TOM NOONAN United Press Staff Correspondent

Chestnut Hills, Mass, Aug. 19- (UP)-The 59th annual national doubles champships start today on the lush lawn of Longwood Cricket club with the outcome in the mems division so uncertain that even the experts refuse to climb out on the proverbial limb.
 A dock brawl seems likely as 32 mems tandems scramble for the crown won last year by 1.-the -limbed Adrian Quist and ambidextrous Jack Bromwich in an all-Australian final. War has forced the Anzacs to sidetrack all thoughts of a title defense and also has eliminated the other big-name foreign threats.
 The picture in the women's field of 32 differs only slightly though Alice Marble of Beverly Hills, Cal, queen of the tennis courts, and Sarah Pelfrey of Brookline are seek ing their fourth straight champion ship. At least two combines are cap- able of providing an upset.
 Despite the unpredictability of the mems and women's divisions, two forecasts are virtually certain of fulfillment. The mems doubles crown will return to the United States and the mixed doubles title will be won by the nations top ranking singles players-Bobby Riggs of Chicago and Miss Marble.
 Baffled tournament officials have top-Seeded Frank Parker of Beverly Hills and Don MeNeill of Oklahoma City, Okla, who annexed their first doubles tourney of the season at Newport Saturday.
 Two Ersatz teams constitute the foreign seeds. George Lyttleton- Rogers of Ireland and Frank Froh- ling of Chicago, Gionts in stature but mediocre players, are seeded first with w. c. Choy of China and John Palfrey of Boston listed second.
 There isn't stickout in the mems field, principal distinction of the second-seeded domestic team of Riggs and cratic Welby Van Horn of Los Angeles is hteir triumph in the Middle Atlantic states tourna- ment at Baltimore.
 Other "Seeds'
 Promising Californians, Jack Kramer of Montabello and Fred Schroeder of Glendale, the nations top-ranking junior, are third-Seed- ed on the basis of their wins at Seabright and Southampton. The fourthseeded duo of Gardnar Null Joy of Coral Gables, Fla, and Henry Prusoff of Seattle, Wash, copped the Rye final
 Undefeated since combining four years ago. the Misses Marble and Palfrey fcae stiff opposition. A tip- off was provided in their struggles at Manchester last week when up- starts Pauline Betz of Beverly Hills and Margaret Osborne of Los An- geles were within match point of an upset in an essex semi-final only to have a placement miss by inches. In the final, Britis hWightman cup pers Valerei Scott and Mary Hard wick, top foreign seeds in the na- nations, carried them to 45 games in thre sets.
 Miss Betz and Miss Osborne are seeded second followed by veteran Helen Jacobs of Berkeley, Cal, and Mary Arnold. Los Angeles. and vir- ginia Wolfenden. San Francisco, and Pat Canning, Los Angeles.
