Potomac Pilots Delay
Opening Of Season
Until May 9
Officials Predict Large
Fleet Of Sailing Croft;
Navy Is Regatta Host
By MALCOLM LAMBORNE, Jr.

Lateness of spring has caused a
postponement of the sailing season
here for another week and, accord
ingly, Potomac River Sailing Asso-
citation shippers will start competi-
ton May off Hains Point.
1t will be a Warmup race and will
not count in the spring series, which
is slated to open May Is. The series
will continue through June 20.
PRSA officials have prepared a
variety of new courses to be sailed
in Georgetown and Washington
Channels, with starts and finishes
off the black spar west of the tip of
Hains Point. All contestants will be
given the new charts outlining some
Is courses.
Sailors will mark the opening Of
the season on May with dance
at Capital Yacht Club, starting at
9 pm.
Officials say this summer should
see the largest gathering of sailing
craft on the Potomac here in years
The demand for new and second
hand boats indicates this assump-
ton to be true.
Navy Host to Sailors.
The Navy will play host tomorrow
and Sunday at the Naval Academy
in Annapolis to sailing teams from
Princeton, Stevens Tech, Cornell,
Haverford, Lafayette and Pennsyl-
vania. The occasion is the third
annual Middle Atlantic dinghy
championships for the America
Trophy.
The prize has been fashioned
from portions of the wooden hull
and copper sheathing of the famed
old schooner America, which brought
the international racing title from
England many years ago.
Flotillas l, 2, 3 and of the Wash
ington division, Coast Guard Aux
iliary, have been asked by Division
Capt. Frank G. Campbell to lend a
hand in patrolling the sailing races
of PRSA next month.
Members of the auxiliary volun-
teering will be enrolled in the tenn
porary Coast Guard Reserve for the
day, and their yachts will fly the
service ensign and commission pen
nant, thus becoming a vessel of the
United States. Gasoline will be sup
piled by the service.
May Use Present Supply.
AS things stand now, only mem
bers OF the auxiliary are permitted
to apply for non-occupational ra-
tions of gasoline. However, yachts
men who have fuel in their tanks
may continue. without any hindrance
from OPA or other Government
agencies, to cruise until their sup
plies are gone.
Gasoline in tanks do no one any
good. and if allowed to remain many
months without operation, the fuel
will gum up and have to be pumped
overheard. That explains OPAs de-
cision to let boatmen use I'D the
gasoline they had in their tanks at
the time of the freeze"
Corinthian Yacht Club will hold
another Of its dances at the club
house, First and V streets S.W.. to-
morrow night beginning at 10
o'clock.

employe, had the great Jones 2 down
with 5 to play in a late round of
the British amateur championship
at St. Andrews. Jones eked out a
last hole win, when Voigt made a
tactical mistake.
Other Matches Scheduled.
Other matches will pit Spencer
and Rippy against George Diffen-
baugh and Voigt at Kenwood; Spen-
Ger and Rippy against Bob Barnett
and Voigt at Chevy Chase, and the
same pair against Mel Shorey and
Voigt at Indian Spring.
Another match at East Potomac
Park, when that course opens for
play, is on the schedule being ar
ranged by Spencer, who hopes the
matches will raise considerable
money for the Red Cross, which
already has given its o. K. to the
series.
Washington, Manor and Army
Navy probably will join in the series,
while Columbia may be the scene
of match later in the year, with
Fred Mcleod pairing with Voigt
against Spencer and Rippy. Nego-
tiations are under way for an early
match at Rock Creek Park, where
AL Price, the short hitting, accurate
home pro, will be Voigt's partner.
Hoyas Meet Colonials.
The match called by Coach Jack
Donohue "Georgetown's toughest of
the year" comes up tomorrow at
Bannockburn, where the Hoyas, al
ready victorious in their first two
enga agements, clash with a virtually
! untried George Washington Univer-
sity team. Donohue, substituting for
Tony Sylvester, long coach of the
Georgetown golf team, says the Co.
lonial match may be a real contest,
far different from the two easily
won by the Hilltoppers so far this
year.
Time was, before the war, when
the Hoyas took the Colonials in
stride, but it's different now. George
Washington has come up with a
| pretty good golf team this year,
and can give the Georgetown outfit
real scrap.
Latest victims of the Georgetown
lads were the hapless visitors of
Western Maryland from Westmin-
ster, Georgetown treated their guests
in unclubby fashion, winning at
Bannockburn yesterday 6 to O..
George Rita led the Hoya scoring

Sylvester, long the Hoya coach,
now is living in Florida for the du-
ration, and isn't around to master
mind Georgetown. But Donohue,
soon to be called by the Navy, is
doing a good job and can pilot his
lads through a winning season.

Bride Trails TO Open
Capital Horse Show
Season Sunday
Six Glasses on Program
Of Event Slated for
Rock Creek Park
BY LARRY LAWRENCE.

Washington Bride Trails Associa-
ton will open the Capital Horse
Show season Sunday at 10 am. at
Equitation Field in Rock Creek
Park with the first of two exhibi-
tions limited to its membership
This will usher in an ambitious pro-
gram for 1943 which will end next
October with one of the largest
horse shows to be held in the Cap
ital area this year.
The Bride Trails Association has
done much to further the horse
game in this locality through its
encouragement to newcomers to the
sport. This year, more than ever,
a fine class of entries is expected to
turn out.
Six classes are scheduled which
are divided into two divisions-one
for stable-owned horses and one for
privately mounts.
The classes will provide oppor-
tunity for both beginners and sea-
soned riders.
Beginning the program is a class
for privately-owned Bridal Trails
jumpers. Bride Trails hacks is the
other event for privately owned
horses and riders must be the own
ers or members of owners families.
Two similar contests for riding
school jumpers and hacks are pro-
grammed.
Other events, open to horses in
both divisions, are a knockdown-
and-out and a handy hunter class.
Approved stables from which rid
ing academy horses may be entered
are Bride Path Riding School,
Edgewater Riding Academy, Mead
owbrook Saddle Club, Pegasus
Stables and Potomac Riding School.

OUTDOORS With BILL 4cxt.u4u.

I favored above other places is hard
to understand
The former is not easy to reach,
most fishermen from this area get
ting there by way of the Solomons
Island boats.
At Benedict there is an entirely
different setup. The river there is
protected, and even in the worst of
weather there is shelter from almost
every quarter for the hundreds of
skiffs available for the usual buck a
day. They are preferred by most
fishermen over the half dozen power
boats that have been on hand in the
past and because there is no ration
ing to be considered they most likely
will be in greater demand than ever
before. Priorities might be in force,
for when the run is on nearly every
one goes for this fishing.
Steve Harrington, TenneSseear
and wartime resident of the Capt.
tai, fishing with Capt Bill Hatch out
of Miami this week landed a sailfish
while his fishing partner, Murray
Vernon, succeeded in boating a
white marlin weighing 62 pounds
Quite catch in these times.
Maryland trout streams over the
last week end carried a far heavier
load of fishermen than on any day
since the opening of the season on
April Is.
1t was only natural, for it was the
first real break in the weather. Each
succeeding week end now will find
Larger contingents of anglers

Breed Will Be Judged
By Wagner; Many D. c.
Owners to- Exhibit

About 400 dogs have been nomi-
mated for the Old Dominion Kennel
Club show tomorrow at Meadow
brook Saddle Club on the East-West
highway in Chevy Chase. Judging
will start at 10 am, with best in
show scheduled for o'clock.
A large percentage of the dogs
will be boxers, coming from New
York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Connecticut and nearby points to
participate in the second speciality Of
Potomac Boxer Club. Much of the
boxer support is due to the selection
of John Phelps Wagner as judge.
Wagner is one of the foremost
boxer breeders and judges in the
world He is the author of the
standard work on the breed, THE
Boxer and the breeder of prac-
tlcally all the leading boxers in the
country as we'll as the importer of
much of the best foundation stock
in the country.
Among dogs which bear his we'll
known Mazelaine prefix are Mr.. and
Mrs. Richard C. Kettles Serenade,
Mrs. Lawrence Slesinger's Overture,
Frederick Hamm's Vox Pop and Mr..
and Mrs, Jouett Shouse's Vorspiel.
Local boxer exhibitors at the spe-
cialty show include Frank Adams.
DR.. and Mrs. I. P. Frohmann. Eliza
beth Lennon, Keith Merrill, Gordon
Barton, Alfred Frank, Joan Kauff-
man, Claiborne Morton. T. w. Kid

is used and the leader should be of
wire, but for hardhead gut leader
will do and the swivel isn't neces-
sary. Nor is the leather thong If
a bottom or large knot is used to
keep the leader from running back
through the fsh-finder ring.
Advantages of the fish finder are
many. The bait lying on the bottom
is moved about In an attractive
manner by the tide and currents.
and when a fish does offer at the

no resistance from the sinker, and

Another tip-Try small white

That's the lineup for the first of
series of exhibition golf matches
to be played at Washington public
courses and at country clubs around
the Capital this year, the Red Cross
to receive all money taken in at
the gate The initial match will
be played May Is at Anacostia, and
a match will be scheduled every
fortnight.
Spencer one of the longest hit
ters of the land, is former holder
of the Middle Atlantic PGA cham
pionship. Rippy is the present
Middle Atlantic amateur champion.
Carson formerly was the Anacostia
pro and holds the course record.
Voigt Famed Linkman.
Voigt, hardly known to newcomers
in golf around Washington, is more
famed on the links than any of the
other three. A member of two
Walker Cup teams, medalist in the
1923 national amateur champion
ship, Voigt was the kingpin of
amateur golf around Washington
during 1926 and 1927, winning al
most every tournament he entered,
including the Middle Atlantic and
District championships.
In 1880 when Bobby Jones was
on the way to a grand slam CT the
major championships Voigt came
closest to stopping him in the anna

on Wednesday a total of Is, all
Weighing well above the 40-pound

large.
There will be no waste of the bass
this year. Even the coarse meat of
the largest fish will be packed to
ship abroad. Prices of any and all
kinds of fish are soaring to astro-
nomical figures, and therefore it is
going to be difficult for those who
find they can make the trip, in spite
of the difficulties of transportation
to find boatmen to carry them down
to the inlet.
In addition there is that little
matter of the ban on gasoline to
shippers carrying fishermen for hire.
At this time 1t just isn't being done.
So be sure before making such a
trip that you will have boat.
The few warm days have had

Of Big Championships,
To Settle Supremacy

at Convention Hall starting at 7:3o.
Three attractive events have been
carded, bringing together for the
first time galaxy of veteran and
new stars of Washington mapleways.
Red Megaw's Oldtimers will be
aiming to give the Washington Ju-
niors the spanking of their young
bowling careers in a three-game
team match while Bill King, the
metropolitan match-game titlehold-
er, will shoot it out in five-game
singles battle with Ell Geib, the Dis

standing singles matches are in the
making.
Teams a Standoff on Paper.
The Oldtimers' lineup will in
clude Tony Santini, Ed Blakeney,
Ollie Pacini, Wolfe and Megaw. Op-
posing this array of nationally

given Capital fans many bowling
thrill down through the years will
be Pret Wannan of Lucky Strike,
Jimmy OFT, jr., and Gordon Rems-
burg of Hyattsville Recreation. Mike
Owen of Bethesda Bowling Center,
Lou Yates and Billy Towles of King
Pin and Pete Places of Anacostia
Spillway.
Collectively the youngsters will be
making their first appearance in
bigtime match. District League fig
ures reveal the two combinations
are a .standoff on paper with the
juniors lacking only in experience.
Wannan and Owen finished their
first season in the all-star circuit
with averages only few pins short
of 1875. Owens 1873, incidentally, was.
the highest game rolled in the recent
metropolitan eliminati ton tourna-
ment at Lafayette.
Wannan was the Spearhead as
Lucky Strike tied Clarendon for the
District League championship. OFT,
with 122 in his first season, was tops
for Hyattsville. Yates and Towles
were close to 120 for King Pin,
while Places played leading part in
Spillway's pennant bid.
Singles Match a Natural.
The singles battle between King
and Geib is a natural. Both sharp
shooters have been in the headlines
al season. Geib, winner of the Dis
trict League title with an average of
I27-67, won several important
matches as the featured singles
roller on George Huguelys Bethesda
All-Stars King. besides whipping
Santini for the metropolitan crown,
may land the Washington City
Duckpin Association Glass A singles
championship His 437 is tops in the
current 33d annual tournament at
Columbia.
The mixed doubles will bring to-
gether two of the citys leading duos.
The Lewis Wright combination was
a standout during last summer and
only recently watched Billy Stalcup
and Lucy Rose top their 90-game
national mark of 2,263 by six pins.
The Guilt Wolfe twosome have won
their share of blue ribbons in mixed
competition.
All proceeds from an admission
charge of 40 cents will go to the Red
Cross. The alleys are being donated
