GIBSON ISLAND, Md, July 10.
Delaware River sailors today
swept both star and comet classes
as a fleet of 81 boats sailed a rain
soaked series in Gibson Island
Yacht Squadron's annual regatta.
By far the best performance of
the day was turned in by Jim
Merrill of Riverton, N. j.. sailing
his new comet Barf1y. He won both
races by comfortable margins and
in the afternoon event came from
q poor Goth at the start to No. l
position at the second mark.
With 661a points to his credit,
Merrill, who also scored at last
weeks Annapolis regatta. appeared
a sure thing for the new Gibson
Island Challenge Trophy. Last race
for both classes will be sailed
tomorrow.
In the star class the outcome Of
the Miller Memorial Trophy, en-
blematic of the Chesapeake Bay
championship, was nowhere near as
certain. Robert Lippincott of River
ton, was only one point ahead OF
Theodore Clark of Sea Cliff, N. Y,
defending champion.
Lippincott, a former ace comet
skipper, won the first race and
placed second in the next. Clark
scored a third and a first. Paul r.
Wood of the Gibson Island feet
stood in third position. Ronald
Blizzard of washington was tied for
fifth position.
Tomorrow's race for comets still
could prove a thriller. The reason
is Phil Somervell, also of Riverton,
stood three points back OF Merrill

Argentina Will Not
Set Olympic Table
BY the Assoeiosed Press


BUENOs AIRES, July 10
Sources close to the Argentine
Olympic Committee said today
that reports from London that
Argentina might offer to feed all
athletes competing in the 1913
Olympia games in the British
capital apparently were based
on misinterpretation."
These sources said that up to
now the Argentine committee had
only considered informally the
possibility that the Argentine
team might carry all or part of
its own food to England in order
not to draw on the limited sup
plies of the British people.
They added, however, that no
thought had been given to the
possibility Of supplying food to
the competitors from all coun-
tries. At the same time, is was
emphasized that the Argentine
government might, on request
from Britain, agree to sell addi-
tional foodstuffs but speculation
on the matter was described as
premature"

Stan King, former all-high

PubIinks Meet Course
Is Held OK, Despite
Entrants HowIs
BY the. Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS, July 1s.-Matt
Burns is a literal sort of fellow who
takes his instructions seriously.
And you can find some of the en-
trants in the National Public Links
Golf Tournament who believe that
Burns takes orders much too seri-
ously.
Burns Is greenskeeper for the
Meadowbrook Municipal Course. a
6.474-yard. par-72 layout over which
this years tournament will be
played, starting Monday.
He was told by the local commit
tee to tougher up the course" with
specific attention to narrowing the
fairways The committee felt that
Meadowbrook was all right for the
local buffers, but not quite cham
pionship course for the top 100
public fee course players in the
country.
Burns followed his instructions so
well that some of the early arrivals,
after practice rounds, protested that
the course was too tough. So the
local committee and representatives
of the United States Golf Associa-
ton, under whose direction the
tourney will be run, looked over the
course yesterday.
After their tour, the committee
men and officials disagreed with the
players, saying that 1t met associa-
ton standards for a championship
course. They took the view that
the course couldn't be too tough
when a 3:-under- par practice round
score Of SO is turned in, such as that
of Edison Cook of Memphis, Tenn,
Friday. To back that up, they cited
Cooks earlier rounds in which he
matched regulation figures.
Washington will be represented
by its present and former District
public links champions, Earl Marcy
and Andy Oliveri. who comprise half
of the Middle Atlantic representa-
ton. The others are Bill Collins
and Bill Cole of Baltimore. Collins
Is the only newcomer to the tourna-
ment as Marcy and Cole have play
ed in one previous event and Oliveri
is making his sixth appearance.

How many of you heard "We

Us plenty of support in our fight
against long skirts. Our pur-
pose is not to buy the long skirts
and fantastic styles.
Half of Europe will freeze this
winter because of shortages of
materials. Letters from Europe
prove our point. They beg for
dress materials, and here in
America fashion designers and
clothes manufacturers ask us TO
carry around excess baggage
padded hips, accordian sleeves
etc. If Paris has excess material
let her use it on her bathing
suits! And Eve Keleher, FASH
ion Editor of Cleveland News
dares to bring up morale in her
article recently.
Teen-agers tell me they can't
afford a change of wardrobe.
The business woman buys ex-
pensive clothes and they are
still good for two to three years.
The veterans wife cannot af-
ford a complete wardrobe. The
vets nest egg of 5000 to $500
cannot be foolishly squandered.
Most vets are trying desperately
to find a place to put his clothes
into, a home of some kind-he
and his sensible wife are in no
position to like the already too
full purse of designing and plot
tering dress manufacturers.
Authorities tell us this is a.
cycle (Press Editorial) that hem
lines have been known to 60 UP
or down with stock markets. So
