Presidents Cup Regatta Associa-
ton members yesterday elected
John A. Remon as president for his
seventh term at meeting where
there were rumors that the 1941
regatta, usually held on the Potomac
River here in September, might be
Cancelled because of the information
al outlook.
The new Board of Directors de-
parted from its usual custom of
holding its first executive session
following the annual meeting, and
agreed not to meet until such time
as a decision might be reached on
the future of the regatta.
Keeping in mind the limited ia
cilities of the Government services
in event of war, officials of the as
sociation questioned Comdr. Merlin
O'Neill of Coast Guard headquar-
ters as to availability of Guard YES
sells this summer at regattas here
and on Chesapeake Bay.
Comdr. ONeill told the group that
insofar as can be determined at
ILLS tlIIlc bIle SOdSI SudIO ChpCCCo
to have a sufficient force of small
boats to patrol regattas. He added,
however, that it was rather ques-
tionable If the service would have
available any vessels above rs feet
for such duties.
Larger vessels of the Coast Guard.
he pointed out, were being employed
in growing national defense assign
ments. The cutter Calypso, which
has served as committee boat in the
past, he felt, would not be available
this year.
Should the directors vote to go
ahead with the regatta, the Ameri-
can Power Boat Association, which
sanctions all United States power
regattas, has set aside September 10,
20 and 81 for the power portion of
the regatta. Sailing events would
be held the week end previous to
these dates.
Also elected yesterday were DR.. O..

standing, slammed a line drive

Poydock on the ankle and, while
he finished his stint, he was sub

Put Sixth in Batting Order

ORLANDO, Fla, March Ito
the unrestrsined curiosity of Presi-
dent Clark Griffith and Manager
BuckE Harris, the Nationals new
first baseman and prize entry in
the rookie derby underwent his first
test here today on a wind-bloWn
field and with the temperature down
in the 30s.
George Archie, who played for
Seattle last year and who was voted
the most valuable player in the
Pacific Coast League. pulled on the
gray uniform of the regulars and
dem <lstrated that he was no
stranger around the bag which has
not been covered competently since
Washington traded Joe Kuhel three
years ago this month.
At the plate, Archie, stiff and
chilled by the cold. performed no
special heroics. Asked what he
thought of Archie's possibilities as
a hitter, Harris said, Pretty good"
Good Fielder, Has Speed.
"Just pretty good?" came another
question.
Well" Bucky said. hes no Foxx
or Greenberg or York or Trosky, if
that's what you mean, He won't
tear the legs off any infielders, but
he looks as though he'll probably
hit all right"
Archie does not impress as
distance hitter. He has a batting
stroke all his own, meaning that
it can't be compared readily with
that of a more familiar player. He
is built something like Babe Dahl
gren, the former Yankee first base
man. with big legs and hands and
a comparatively small chest and
head.
I've had a lot of reports on him" :"
Griffith stated, as he minced onto
the field. Griff discarded his
familiar topoDat today. Instead,
he wore an overcoat and a muffler
over his heaviest business suit and
long underwear.
He just about fills the descrip-
tions," Griffith said. He can field
and he can run like sin. He stole
"a bases last year. I guess George
Case is the only fellow we've got
who can outrun him"
Archie Sixth In Lineup.
Archie tonight was named to bat
sixth in the Mats lineup. A week
from tomorrow he formally will be
unveiled when the team travels to
Tampa to play the World Champion
Reds and Harris will have more
opportunity to study him, but
Bucky's tentative lineup and bat
ting order, as outlined tonight, was
as follows:
George Case, right field; Roger
Cramer, center field; Ben Chapman,
left field Buddy Lewis, third base;
Cecil Travis, shortstop; Archie, first
base: Jim Bloodworth, Buddy Myer
or Jimmy Pofahl, second base; Al

the three pitchers he will use
against the Reds next Sunday. One
is Walter Masterson, of whom he is
expecting big things, and the other
is Sam Cunningham, foremost rookie

third later" he said.
TWo-a-day practice sessions will
be continued all next week. Harris
announced. He doubts if the annual
inter-squad game will be played.
Cold Hampers Regulars.
1--WE haven't got the pitchers to
use up, with the exhibition season
so near. OF course, could use some
of the kids, but it would take all
