FAIRHAVEN, Md, June 25-A
wind and rain squall took command
of the second annual Farhaven
Sailing Club regatta on choppy Her
ring Bay here this afternoon and
of a fleet of more than 80 small
craft but 90 got to the starting line
and only six managed to finish.
1t was to have been the opening
race for Chesapeake Gays newest
sailing club, but with only the
staunch 0-footers-and not all Of
them-sticking it out, the major
portion of the regatta will be staged
tomorrow morning and afternoon.
Heintz Gets Windward Home.
Winner in the round bottom di-
vision of 20-footers was William
Heintz of Arlington. Va. His Wind
ward, flying the West River Md
Sailing Club flag, completed six
mile windward-leeward course in
l hour l minute and 2 seconds.
Eighteen seconds behind Heintz,
and coming up fast, was Buddy
Hartges America Of Galesville, Md.
Another member Of the well-known
Hartge family, Capt. Dick, was third
in his Chesapeake.
A 10-mile southerly was blowing
when the first of six scheduled
classes was sent off in a southeast
direction. but before the leaders
had reached the first marks. boats
began capsizing. Three picket boats
from the Coast Guard cutter Dione
and number of local pleasure craft
went to the rescue of the over
turned boaats. bringing all shippers
and crews safely to harbors.
When the wind continued to pipe
higher, comet, moth and penguin
classes never even came out to the
starting line. Eight of the round
20-footers either capsized or turned
tail, while the class of 16-footers
and chine 20-footers suffered sim
liar fate.
Vanity Leads Fleet TO Bay.
The regatta opened with l2-mile
race from West River to the bay
here in the morning. Vernon Gin
CELLS Vanity. Fairhaven entry and
20-footer, led the feet of IA boats
in a wet beat down.
HeintZs performance was cred
/ tied to his shortening sail just be-
fore the wind reached its highest.
On the beat back to the finish, he
sailed with a reefed mainsail and
no jib. Young Buddy Hartge nearly
overlook Windward as his boat car
ried full sail.
The wind let up as the survivors
beat home Some Of the boats on
the run downwind doused all sail
except their small jibs, and even
then made good time.

These Are Displayed In Order
To Induce The Public To
Practice Safe Driving

Selecting the States most heavily
travelled public carrier for it's new
warnings to the motoring public on
the necessity of careful driving, The
Maryland Traffic Safety Commission
has had large safety signs placed
over the entrances to the terminals of
the Claiborne-Annapolis Ferry Com
pany, and on either end of the Ferry
Boats.
The signs, now in position at the
Annapolis and Matapeake terminals,
and the Romancoke and Claiborne Ter
minals, are in black and white, and
are plainly visible for considerable
distance. The signs over the termin-
ais are printed on either side, thus
offering warning to motorists both
entering and leaving the ferries. The
smaller signs are placed in such posi-
tions that they also are plainly visible
by passengers.
The Traffic Safety Commission will
within the near future also complete
the placing of attractive signs in black
and gold, Maryland's colors, on the
car decks and in the saloons of the
ferry boats. The signs bear the fol-
lowing inscription.

JACK DEMPSEY
MAY VISIT THE
VIRGINIA FAIR
Bill Lewis, Wrestling Promoter
In Virginia Towns May
Get The ''Mauler"

Bill Lewis, the 285 pound wrestling
promoter in various Virginia towns,
spent last weekend in New York
where he conferred with Jack Demp-
sey, who may be able to come to this
section for a sports event during the
Keller Fair the week of August 10th.
Dempsey has been reported to have
signed a contract to join Cole Broth
ers circus in Norfolk at an early date
and may find it impossible to appear
here, but one can be sure that he will
do all in his power to accommodate
his old friend, Lewis.
The huge promoter spent day in
this section recently and announced
that he had already started plans for
great all-star wrestling card to be
presented. He is the same man to
lineup a card last season and among
the men he is considering is Sailor
Sammie Simms, a Norfolk enlisted
man, stationed at the Norfolk Naval
Operating Base.
Simms is easily one of the finest
