0lue ell SAILOR.
1t is the new slogan of the South
west where the scudding yacht
rapidly is displacing the bucking
broncho as thing to ride.
You may not be interested par
ticularly in yachting. You may not
know or care anything about it.
Just the same, any one of sporting
instinct cannot fail to be interested
in one of the most sensational de-
velopments in a competitive pas
time that any sport ever has known.
With whoop and hi-yi the
Southwestern area of the Nation
has begun to go in for windjamming.
an opportunity provided by the
Great Lakes constructed for hydro
electric power and by stupendous
dams designed for flood control.
There already are. or soon will
be- large areas of water ideally
adapted for sail boats. and in ever
increasing hundreds the men and
women of that region are taking
up the sport
Auto Agencies Add Sail Boats.
Picture automobile agencies in
Oklahoma and Texas which have en-
larged their quarters and have added
sail yachts to their stock, a branch
of business which is beginning to
compete in returns with the sale of
motor cars and accessories. And as
for accessories there are plenty as
sociated with yacht, and they can
be purchased. too. Out among the
cactus and the alaki you will find
sail boats for sale and you wonder
why, until faring across the arid
lands you suddenly come upon
synthetic body of water that re-
sembles Long Island Sound.
Bill Crosby, editor of Rudder
famous as the originator of the snipe
class of sailing yacht, has just re-
turned from a tour of that area and
he says he never has seen such
an amazing transformation Cros-
bys main idea in designing the
snipe was to produce craft that
could be put on a trailer and trans
ported anywhere. There are plenty
of snipes in the Southwest now.
Many of them are kept in garages.
Down in Memphis and Chatta-
nooga, or at least, outside these
cities, there are fleets of sail craft
now on the Wilson and Norris Dams.
At Tulsa, Okla. near where the
Grand River Dam is approaching
completion, forming a body of water
with $500 miles of shore line, a
plant for building sail yachts al
ready is being constructed. and
meanwhile on top of a hill there is
a circular lake, two miles in diam

New Directory Boon
To Fishing, Hunting.
In Old Dominion
Completeness Of Work
By }. H. Gwothmey and
Monk Montague Louded

Virginia has stepped out in the
lead with a complete directory of
fishing and hunting spots. guides
and all necessary information as to
where, when and how to fish and
hunt.
More than a year ago Winston
(Monk) Montague. leading Rich
mond sportsman, organized the
Deep Sea Fishing Association" Of
Virginia and obtained from the
State legislature an appropriation
to be used for exploratory work In
deep sea fishing of the coast Of
the State.
John Cass, famous Florida fishing
guide, was obtained as the man
to do the pioneering. John did
all right, for his boat alone landed
54 white marlin, a lot of dolphin
and tuna and proved definitely that
the coast of Virginia, possibly even
more than the coast of Maryland,
is the summer home of the scrappy
white marlin, one of the genuine
gamesters of the ocean.
Sportsman Directory Complete.
That gave Montague and John H.
Gwathmey an idea. No complete
directory of Virginia fishing and
hunting spots ever had been COM
piled They went through the State
finding out where fish and game
are caught or shot. The result is
the most complete sportsman's di-
rectory ever issued in this sector.
Every day during the fishing sea-
son newspaper Offices are bombarded
with phone calls inquiring about
fishing. Where, when and how
and who is the guide?" run most
of the inquiries. The newspapers
keep list of guides and fishing
spots, but there is no directory
There should be. fashioned along
the lines that Montague and Gwath-
mey have used.
Cass Cathes Tuna and Marlin.
John Cass is back at Chinco.
league. on the Eastern Shore Of
Virginia. The other day he caught
three tuna, the top fish weighing
96 pounds. Where the Ocean City
marlin men haven't hooked a white
marlin Cass has had three on
and lost them. Chincoteague is
not far from the Jackspot where
most of the Ocean City marlin
boats CO. Nor is it far from Win
ter Quarter Light, where marlin
are plentiful in season.
Montague and Gwathmey have
started something that should be
done in Maryland. The Free State
happens to have fishing comparable
to any State in the East. But only
those in the know have an idea OF
where to 60, what guide to obtain
bait to use and the proper tackle.

By GEORGE HUBER.

Capt. Wilbur johnson reports
from Hampton near Fox Hill, VaD
that bonita are at their height.
His boat is getting from two to four
each day weighing from 20 to 80
pounds. George Speckman and
Stephen Pribula of Brentwood
fished with him recently and got
three, the smallest Is and the
largest so pounds. 1t took Pribula
half an hour to land the 60-pounder.
From Wachapreague, A, H. G..
Mears writes that the weather is
holding up fine over there and that
channel bass still are around. Two
boats this week each have brought
back two of the big drum as well as
plenty of smaller fish such as weaks,
kings, sea bass, fluke and croaker.
And while on the subject of big
fish, here's news of the first tuna
at the famous Wedgeport grounds OF
Nova Scotia. The big bluefin was
5lO-pounder according to Bill Gray,
head guide up there, and plenty OF
others are around.
Hot midsummer weather is bring.
ing the approach of the real gooo
bay fishing. Angling down on the
Chesapeake hasn't reached Its
height yet, but fishing is good all
around. Still lacking are big hordes
of trout. rockfish, spot and blues,
but all these are being taken with
the exception of blues.
The report from Uncle Billy's Pier
ut North Beach mentions "oodles
of hardhead and a few trout ana
rock caught by Jessie Estep and
party from Washington. Uncle Billy,
incidentally, is presenting a rather
large cup to the angler who catches
the largest hardhead around his
place this season. Largest to date
is something that will take a lot OF
beating, a 3-pound 14-ounce job
caught by Clyde Ellis.
The road down to Solomons
Island is being repaired, but it still
isn't bad trip as some anglers
around town have heard. Even
though parts of it are under con-
struction it is a better trip than it
was last year or the years before.
The bad road just this side of
Prince Frederick has been repaired
In some places and in other places
entire new sections of road have
been built, eliminating several dam
gerous curves.
Below Prince Frederick it is most.

miles this side of Solomons where
construction still is under way
There's section of about mile
there which is torn up and which
needs slow going, but even in bae
weather It can be taken easily ex.

Nations Greats Seek
Middle States and
Atlantic Honors
Dozen Senior and Junior
Events to Be Stoeed
Sunday on Potomac
BY MALCOLM LAMBORNE, Jr.

BY MALCOLM LAMBORNE, Jr.
The Potomac River off George
town will witness Sunday what
promises to be the keenest competi-
ton among Eastern paddlers since
Washington was the scene of the
American Canoe Associations ma
tional championships three years
ago.
1t is the joint championship re-
gatta of Atlantic and Middle States
divisions of the A. C. A., the first
such combined affair ever staged
here.
Many of the associations greats
will be on hand among the nearly
80 canoeists who represent approx
imately 10 divisional clubs. The
three clubs that for the last eight
years have alternated in winning
the nationals-Washington Canoe
Club, Yonkers IN. " Canoe Club
and Pendelton Canoe Club of New
York-will enter teams.
Stars Are Numerous.
Twelve senior and junior events
are on the program which will open
at l pm. over a half-mile course
from near Three Sisters Islands to
point opposite Washington C. c.
Here are few of the country's
stars who are expected out:
Ernie Riedel of Pendleton, for
13 years champion of the one man
double-blad class over the famous
International Mile.
Bill Havens, jr., of Washington,
national fitting champion for the
last four years and high-scoring
senior at the 1889 nationals.
Howard Woodward of the Phila-
delphia C. c., one-man singles
champion.
Adolf Springel of Viking C. C.,
Newark. Atlantic division fitting
champ.
The all-brothers Yonkers team of
Andy and Mike Kulakowich and
Steve and John Lysack, national
champions of the senior four man
singles.
OF all the events on the days
program none will attract more in
terest than the one-man double
blade race for seniors Reason for
the expected hot competition is
easily explained. 1t will see Riedel.
Havens. Harold Bruins of Yonkers
and Ebby Trilling of Washington
going into action.
Cacawa Pair Rules 5 Years.
Another unbeatable combination
which Commodore William Dusty"
Rhodes expects to come down is
the Cacawa c. c.. Tacony. Pa,
entries of Stanley Cimokowski and
Frank Crick, who have been tandem
single blade champions for years.
Sundays regatta will provide a
clear-cut view of what is to come at
the association nationals in New
York City on July q and %.
The local club expects to enter
come of the finest paddlers in its
list. although rumor persists that
dark horses will be kept on the
beach until the nationals. The idea
is that you should not play your ace
card until it's really called.
Among Washington juniors will
be Charles Schultz, Gene Cleary, AL
bert Ofenstein. John Bubbles
Smith, Felix Peckham, Hermie Voll-
mer and Melvin Young. In addition
to Trilling and Havens. the senior
ranks should include Harry Pop
Knight Washington's veteran pad
dler; Ken Romjue and John Long.
Other clubs entered in the re-
eatta are Red Feather, Hackensack,
N. j.: Tuscarora, Belleville, N. j.,
and Sebago, Lake Sebago. N. Y.
Yonkers won last years nationals
staged at the New York Worlds
Fair, Washington was second and
true to tradition, Pendleton was
third.

Wright Is Swimmer to Watch
In A. A. u. Meet Here Monday

Wright is the name-Bill Wright.
He'll be in the big swim Monday
night at Airport Pool when the cur
tain goes up on the Districts out
door competition and, although such
nationally prominent stars as Dot
Evans and Lorraine Fischer will be
swimming, too, look for Wright to
grab few beams of the spotlight.
Willie's name isn't in the papers
every day. In fact, he isn't well
known at all in Washington, but
there's mighty good reason for this
oversight. You see, the 21-year-old
youngster has been in only two COM
petitive meets thus far. They were
enough, however. to give him Dis
trict A. A. U. titles for the so, 100,
220-yard twice) free-style grinds
and medley title.
Stars at Virginia.
He made that haul last March in
the annual indoor championships at
the Shoreham and his performance
had Earl Weeks and his fellow OFF,
cials looking for a hidden outboard
motor. Since then, Wright has been
highly respected and much-feared
gentleman in the f1nny fraternity,
but still unpublicized.
Wright plunged into his tank ca
reer some seven years ago at Wash
ington Golf and Country Club,
where he still holds forth. He
served a stretch there as life guard
before going off to the University
of Virginia, where he launched his
competitive career. He was the
Cavaliers captain last year and
lost "only couple of races" during
his three years on the varsity. Cur
rently he is doing graduate work at
the University of Michigan.
Farber to Be Feared.
Bill is entered in the 60-yard free
style and medley events Monday
night and while he'll be the favorite
it'll be no walkaway-if he wins. In

It's against the rules for MEM

The reason, according to a res

members who never experience
the thrill of losing a big guy"
after he's beel hooked-or who
never hook a big one.

The basis of swimming is conf

for the various swimming strokes

therefore, is to learn how to breathe
and to become accustomed to hold
