Launching Site Liked

The American Power Boat Racing
Commission, through its secretary,
Charles r. Chapman, has onicially
sanctioned the new dates of Sep
tember ~, 28 and 20 for the Presi-
dents Cup Regatta.
r. Aubrey Bogley regatta race
chairman, announced that Secre-
tary Chapman had sent him letter
IN which he stated the racing COM
mission was In favor of the change.
"The commission heartily indorses
the later dates, due to the fact that
the equinox will be changing along
about September 81, thus assuring
smoother water for the power boat
drivers" Bogley declared. -.
Preliminary entry blanks have
been sent out to several hundred
leading drivers throughout the coun-
try, Bogley said, and q quick re-
sponse is expected.
New Launching Site Liked.
Meanwhile, from all quarters comes
praise for the new setup for launch-
ing and lifting the big inboards near
the new airport.
Col. Robert s. Thomas. city engi-
neer, in conference with Chairman
Bogley, Regatta President John A.
Remon and other regatta oficials,
went over the chart showing the
water areas dredged in and around
the race course.
Col. Thomas pointed out that the
entire area is better fitted for the
1910 races, as there are no shadows
or sand bars.
With the Regatta Committee
speeding up its plans, Bogley pointed
out that the new location near the
airport for accommodating the
peedboats-adjacent to the course
will make 1t possible for the drivers
ITO dash in for quick repairs be-
tween heats if they 'conk OUT"
He said the drivers would derive
great benefit from the new location,
without making any attempt to min
imize what he called marvellous ac-
commodations at the Navy Yard in
past years"
Sail Races Open Program.
AS a striking example of the ad-
vantages of the airport location,
Bogley cited the case of Jack (Pop)
Cooper, veteran Kansas City speed
demon. Bogley said:
Cooper broke down in one of the
225 heats last year The next heat
was postponed minutes to give
Cooper time to haul his boat In for
repairs. Cooper didn't return in
time and 1t was not until he had
spotted the boys q full hap that he
was able to catch up with them on
the second lap. He gave the crowd
a real thrill with his daring and
courage. Had the pits been close by,
Cooper might have won the heat"
The sailboat races, always a high
