OPEN THE RULES

According 10 the present trend
Of thought the first renewal Of
tho Gold Cup after the war will
find the class opened up 10 all
types Of inboard racing craft
powered with engines from 135
cubic inches up, with one or more
motors, and with wide latitude IN
hull length and weight.
Foreign-built motors will not
be excluded, and even craft with
jet or air screw propulsion units
may be allowed 10 compete.
II is believed one Of the prin-
clpal factors in the resurgence Of
the Gold Cup in postwar racing
will be the inclusion of the 220
cubic inch hydroplanes.
Owners of boats in this class
perhaps the most popular and
spectacular inboard division ever
10 race on American waters, have
long been clamoring to test their
craft against the bigger and
higher powered Gold Cup speed
creations. The 225s have a bril-
liant record for speed, consistency
and durability.
BETTERS GOLD CUP MARK
In a comparatively few years,
the 225 competitive speed record
for FIVE miles has risen 10 73170
m. p. h. as compared 10 727
m. p. h. for three miles. the best
competitive Gold Cup speed record
on the books.
The Gold Cup championship,
dating back 10 1904, has long been
regarded as the nations premier
speedboat contest but the classic
has had a checkered career n
later years, climaXed in 194l when
Zalmon G.. Simmons of Green
wlch, Conn, winner of the 1895
race. was the only competitor 10
appear at Red Bank. y. J., for
the 38th running of the fixture.
Under the present rules. Gold
Cup engines must be between 500
and 1872 cubic inch piston dis
placement, and the scarcity Of
such power plants, plus the ex-
pense, has had much 10 do with a
slackening of interest.
The introduction of converted
airplane and other types Of motors
developed by the war, is expected
10 produce new enthusiasm for
this traditional event. At the ex-
piration Of the five-year expert
mental period, the motor boat Of
ficials, under the present plan
ming, will be able TO determine
the types of engine and hull that
Will best fit Gold Cup competition
requirements.

TURNED DOWN BY A. A. Z.

Weissmuller, AT the suggestion
Of many coaches. asked 10 swim
a 100 under official timing AFTER
the amateur events were over but
Avery Brundage, the A. A. L.
hlunderman, vetoed the request
although two professional divers
were allowed TO perform DURING
the meet.
An A. A. l.. rule says amateurs
must not compete on the same
program with pros.
The A. A. l.. wasn't even
friendly 10 the man who. more
than any other individual, had
done so much for swimming.
Not until the last minute did
WeiSSmuller learn that night that
the A. A. L. wouldn't let him do
the time trial.
And certainly if there is still
any bitterness in the guy towards
the A. a. u. after all these years
IL can be appreciated because on
that night WeiSsmullers parents.
for the first time, had come out
TO see their son swim.
They never would during his
amateur days. fearing their pres
ence might upset him.

 Future Picture
 When the war-boom is over the present owners of the factory build ings. sold by the receivership. will provide employment for 2,50O per- sons, Atty. Finkelstein stated.
 Tn asking for compensation the receiver stated he had sold buildings for total price of $164, 900, and had he accepted the usual broker age fee he would have netted $8,200 in commissions. He accepted noth- ing for the service, he said.
 Attorney Upson commented there was no doubt the receivership had been extraordinarily well-handled." ;" He suggested, however, that the proceedings remain in force until the receiver had disposed of the balance of the funds, and that an- other financial report be submitted at that time.
 The corporation attorney also commented that it was his recollec- tion the receiver received about $4,O00 compensation each year dur ing the course of his service.
