With recent foul weather slowing
up fltting-out operations in the fleet,

much before next Sunday when the
spring series formally begins.
Reports from the Chesapeake Bay
area. meanwhile, show yachting in
terest is picking up and gives promise
of the best sailing year since the
war ended the great ma ajority of
regattas in this area.

Today With Wurmup Race

napoliS to the mouth of the PatuXent
River and return.
Comdr. NJ M. Doc" De Wolf
new commodore of the NAYS, has
invited yachtsmen of the Bay to
participate in a number of intra-
mural races planned at the Academy
this summer.
Another indication of the re-
surgence of interest in big-boat
racing is the decision of Chesapeake
Bay Yacht Racing Association to
reinstate its high point trophy for
the cruising class this summer. This
and other high score prizes for
smaller classes have been on the
shelf since the war. 1t was thought
that enough large boats would be
out this year to justify competition
again.
The starting signal for today's
races here will be given from Lloyd
Simson's sloop Challenger. Races
are planned for Stars, 20-footers,
Comets, Penguins, Lightnings and
handicap boats.

Golf Spheres Lost

BY the Associated Press.

by Ute hSSUCIdIVU FItSS.
DULUTH, Mimi, May 5.-The
opening of the golf1ng season was
highly successful for Mr.. and
Mrs. Robert Ridder, although
their opening drives landed in a
pond.
The shortage of golf balls
prompted both TO remove their
shoes and stockings and wade in
to search for the priced pellets.
They found their own and II
others, including four unsullied
samples of the prewar variety,
which, with good hitting, will
suffice for the season.

TOday's mind is philosophical
and a little too critical. There
is some genius, and the mode

output of this mind may furnish
good material, if it is trained
