Small boat sailors from Baltimore,
Alexandria and Washington opened
the 1912 regatta season yesterday at
the Virginia city in the first sane
toned event of Chesapeake Bay
Yacht Racing Associations five
race series for little penguin
dinghies.
Sixteen shippers from the three
cities competed for the Old Do
minion Boat Club perpetual trophy,
which was won by Walter Lawson,
youthful District sailor who is ma
tional champion in the class. His
dinghy Potlatch captured the prize
with IT, points.

Second place was won by an Alex

Third place With SIS points vent
to the sole woman sailor In the

-Four Baltimore sailors competed
in the regatta, sailed off Old Do
minion Boat Club, but they were
outclassed by Washington and Vir-
ginia entrants. First of the Mary
landers to finish was Nat Sexton of
Maryland Yacht Club. His penguin
Upper was eighth.
Setting the pace for the day, Law
son came out to take the first race.
The second was won by Kraft, while
Glass Secretary Ralph Youngs Of
Alexandria took the third event.
Lawson, however, came back to cap
ture the fourth and fifth races,
clinching the Old Dominion prize in
this fourth race.
Snaps Boom While Leading.
Kraft, pressing Lawson through
the fifth race, snapped his boom
while leading the feet. By the time
he had made repairs, most of the
fleet had passed him by. But by
placing well in earlier races, young
Kraft managed a final second place
The feet sailed in whole sail

the II u -footers over the course in
good time. Majority of the shippers
will join in the opening race of the

kept Stan shackled to the bench
at Boston.
"If I don't outhit that Di Maggie
this season, I'll eat this uniform, u
said Spence several weeks ago. At
his present pace it isn't likely he'll
be forced to alter his diet.
Stan was pretty much the whole
show yesterday at Grif1th Sta
dium as the Mats and Browns split
double header, Washington cap
turing the first game, 9-8, before
dropping the nightcap, 5-1. An
other sizable Sunday crowd OF 21,-
600 viewed the proceedings.
Triple Wins Opener.
Spence merely won the first
game, for with two out, two on
and the Mats trailing, 7-8, in the
ninth, Stan drilled triple to left
center, scoring George Case and
Alex Kvasnak. Spence previously
had belted another triple and a
single.
1t wasn't his fault the Mats were
beaten in the second tiff, either,
for he contributed a brace of scin-
tillating catches and slammed three
singles in four trips to the plate.
In the fifth inning he raced to the
center-field barrier for a nifty over
the-shoulder catch of Glenn Nc
Quillen's drive, and in the sixth he
streaked in for shoestring catch
of Chet Laabs' looper.
Pitcher Bill Zuber was displaying
little respect for Spence's productive
labor. After Stan made that catch
off McQuillen at time when the
bases were loaded, permitting only
one run to score, Zuber promptly
pitched triple to George McQuinn
and the Browns owned an ample
Al lead. They increased it to its
final proportions in the ninth when
Hardin Cathey yielded singles to
Rick Ferrell, AL Hollingsworth and
Don Gutteridge.
Zuber was as wild as cannibal
walking six in his five-inning stretch.
The Mats had him in contention
in the fourth inning when they
locked the score at IL through the
medium of singles by Kvasnak and
Spence and a pair of inf1eld outs.
Zuber Immediately spoiled that sit
uation.
Mats Use Seven Pitchers.
Hollingsworth, 32-year-old former
Nat, limited Washington to nine
hits, while four of Harris hurlers
permitted only eight hits.
Bucky used seven throwers for the
day, employing Sid Hudson, Steve
Sundra and Buck Newsom in the
first game. NewSom received credit
for the victory by walking across
the diamond at the proper time.
Hudson allowed a f1ve-run lead to
evaporate and the Browns grasped a
6-5 advantage with a f1ve-run sew
enth inning. Back bounced the Mats
with two runs in their portion of
the inning, but st. Louis came up
with two runs in the eighth before
Spence performed his heroics.
Shortstop-Second Baseman Bob
Repass was benched by Harris, in
cidentally. Among other things,
Bucky doesn't relish the ho-hum
spirit in which Repass seemingly
has accepted his collapse.
Early Wynn, who whipped the
White Sox on five hits in his last
appearance, was to face the Browns
today. The Browns also will play
here tomorrow, with Detroit in
vading for games Wednesday and
Thursday.

Riders Seek Competition.
Roosevelt High School linksmen,
with the Dawes Cup and the public
high school championship virtually
cinched, are looking around for
out-of-town high school competition.
In the making are possible matches
with an all-star team from Rich
mond, and one from Philadelphia.
Roosevelt has as strong an outfit
as ever has been assembled among
the high schools in washington.
They've won six straight this
year, on Top OF 10 straight last year.
At the opening of the season they
had as their goal a season Of play
without losing a point, but Ana
costa baked them by grabbing
three. They've taken all the other
high schools IN stride, mopping up
Wilson, their toughest rival, 9-to-o,
last week.
Now the Rough Riders are tout
ing sorrell-thatched Bill Browning,
their captain and No. / man, as
the choice to win the individual
schoolboy championship and to the
naked eye Bill looms as a potential
champ. Consistently he has turned
in the lowest scores of the high
school lads, and will be tabled az
co-favorite with Champion Alton
Willett as the lad to lick when the
boys gather May 20 for their indi-
vidual tussle. Other possibilities are
Neil Sullivan and Charley Price of
Georgetown Prep; Buddy Brylawski
OF st. Adams, ana Art Myers and

De Chard Will Start|e
Fans Backing Baksi,
Mann Declares
Pilot Is Confident D. 6.
Heavy Will Score Over
Fovorite Tomorrow

Jimmy De Chard's heavyweight
stock sagged to record low today
as reports of the prowess Of Joe
Baksi, his opponent tomorrow night
in an eight-round 60 at Riverside
Stadium, continued to be heard on
all sides.
But fat Frankie Mann continued
to lead . minority group holding
that De Chard's speed, skill and
Sunday.g0.tO-t0wn punch would be
too much for the well-regarded
Wilkes-Barre youngster.
"Baksi, Baksi," fumed Frankie,
"that's all you hear. Who is Baksi?
Louis rolled into one? From the way
they're playing him up you'd think
Jimmy didn't have a chance OF
winning. You'd think it was just a
question Of naming the round he's
going to flatten Jim in, but nothing
could be farther from the truth.
De Chard Is Ready, Mann Says.
The truth is that if anybody
gets flattened it's gonna be him
not De Chard. And if the fight
goes the full distance well have
enough points to win a couple OF
bouts. The fans forget we've got
pretty good boy ourselves, that
Jimmy has all the equipment good
heavyweight needs and that he's
the best prospect we've ever had in
this town. I've seen 'em all from
old Pat O'Connor to this boy and
I'll take him over any of them and
some day they'll see that I'm right"
Mann is willing to bide his time
until De Chard blossoms into bona
f1de challenger for the crown, but
having his boy counted out, brutally
beaten and chopped up by fighter
unknown here even before they step
into the ring is getting him down.
He figures it hasn't helped De
Chard's morale to read about Baksis
prowess and his own ineptness. He
figures the boys at least could give
his fighter an even break on the
pre-fight talk and let the issue be
decided on its merits tomorrow
night.
Baksi Is Favored Here.
It was difncult to discount reports
of Baksis power or disregard them
entirely, however, as more and more
insiders In the fight racket climbed
aboard his bandwogan. The con-
senus is that De Chard is in over
his head this time, up against a lad
who has Jimmy's youth and speed,
more durability, a good stiff punch
and three times as much experience.
They figure he'll beat De Chard
on experience alone and that his
ruggedness is ample protection
against any lucky punches the local
boy may throw 1t looks bad for
James, it does, indeed. L. F. A.
