meet will be Bill Tarbett, who holds
practically every worthwhile diving
record in town

in 1899 for the first time in many
years. Prior to last year he had won
the championship three times. In
doors, also. he has captured the

doors he's no slouch, having won the
high and low board titles twice. He
also holds the Western Maryland
championship.
Despite all this Bills slightly on
the pessimistic side regarding the
coming meet, mainly because chap
named Jimmy Russell will be COM

A dark horse, if ever there was
one. is the entry of George c. Can
non, New Rochelle IN. " sports
man, in the 1910 Gold Cup races
next month at Northport, Long
Island, which marks the first time
in nearly 10 years the classic has
been held in the East.
His Grey Goose, radical de-
parture from the usual Gold Cup
job, has been, until this summer, a
lame duck. Rugged with triple
screws, the boat is powered with
three motors. each of approximately
223cubic inch displacement When
Grey Goose cracked up last year
on Lake Hopatcong many boating
experts chimed in with Il told
you So"
The Mast winter at Rockledge,
Fla, Hugh Gingras drove the boat
over a measured mile for an average
of 92.309 miles an hour to establish
a new record for non-supercharged
Gold Cup craft
What really places the boat in the
dark horse category is whether it
will be able to stand the competitive
strain of the three 30-mile heats
called for in the Gold Cup cham
pionships. If Grey Goose can stand

officers still are a little amazed at
the unusually high entry list of last
weeks show. Although only five
classes we're on the card, a total of
81 small yachts competed over the
three days, certainly some sort of
record. And it was only the club S
second annual regatta. Perhaps
the answer can be found in the
growing popularity of one-design
classes.
Among other things the regatta
marked the largest gathering of
comets on Chesapeake Bay. Thirty
one of the little sloops were out,
three more than the long intrenched
stars which were competing for the

day fishing trip out of Everglades
City, Fla, and report few big tar
pom in those waters, which usually
are crowded with them at this time
Of the year. They sailed as far
south as Cape Savle, covering Broad,
Rogers and Harneys Rivers in addi-
ton to Lopez, Turner and Hueston
Rivers which are fairly close to
Everglades.
Numerous small tarpon were
sighted-ranging up to 80 pounds,
and three were boated. The big
gest weighed 10 pounds. johnson
took the largest after 38-minute
battle in Rogers River, using a g.
ounce tip and 15-thread (45-pound
test) line. That's light tackle for
big tarpon. He was still fishing, in
cidentally.
Shark were abundant and several
scaling as high as 60 pounds were
hooked but the big boys 12-footers)
made clean getaway, severing taut
lines with their 6le-like tails. They
roll in the leader and line, you know,
in performing this operation.
The duo also took a nice mess of
snook, ranging from to Is pounds;
reddish, ladyhsh, jackfish and the
usual snappers. Shook on bass cast
ing rod are some scrappers, they re-
port. Using bass tackle on small
tarpon in fresh water river fishing
also is good sport. Hard to hook and
hold, the youngsters usually toss the
plug on that light, timber tackle.
Capt. Gourley Elliott reports
enough action to satisfy the most
! ardent fishermen from Point Pa
tience to Broomes Island He roped
in over 200 assorted finsters on one
trip. including l6 hardheads over
5 pounds each.
Joe Galley and "Cap'n" Henry
Schulze got SO rockfsh avering IL
pounds in two hours work off the
same island.
Speaking of Broomes. trout have
started to run there and are steal
ing the early birds stuff and getting
the bait. The best time for taking
them is around daybreak at slack
tide. So if you're contemplating q
trip down that way make it as early
as possible for best results.
