Arthur Deacon, Larchmont IN. "
skipper won the star trophies last
year. This summer he. suggested
to Pirie that he bring his Twin Star
to Washington. Pirie took him up
and at the same time administered
beating to Deacon, who placed
third this time.
Deacon, who sails Armade, had
the satisfaction yesterday, however,
of leading the 18-boat fleet in the
concluding race. after a close fight
among at least five boats. Ted
Clark of Sea Cliff, N. Y, sailing
Bolt, placed second in the series,
and Deacon was third.
A local sailor, Frank Marquardt,
had the honor of being the first
Washington area skipper to finish.
His White Shadow placed sixth,

Upset in Chesapeake 20s.
Biggest upset of the day came In
the Chesapeake 20s class when Maj.
Jackson Judy's America of Columbia
Yacht Club led the fleet in the last
race and ended up as series winner.
Bobby Orme, who had been leading
in his Blue Water, finished seventh
and threw away his chances OF TAX
ing the prize. He had to settle for
second place.
Eric Nordholm, local comet ace,
was one of three series winners who
] took all three races Others were
Runyon Collie, Mantoloking, N. j.,
penguin class, and Charlesy Nelms,
Norfolk, Hampton one design class.
The race committee on board the
Coast Guard cutter Aurora was
forced to postpone yesterdays final
race an hour and Is minutes. A
Light northwesterly finally came In
and held long enough to get every
one around one lap within the time
limit. 1t was all over by 3 pm,
when a lone penguin drifted across
the finish line.
Moth Awards Held Up.
Only the trophies for the moth
class were not awarded. They are
being held up until officials can
work out a protest with the Moth
Glass Association. Young Billy
Cabell, Norfolk, Va, lodged a pro-
test against a Connecticut sailor
over what he said was an illegal
headboard on his competitors sail.
1t was a little too involved for the
protest committee to settle until
comforting with class officials.
Present at the presentation were
General Regatta Chairman Jim
Councillor and John A. Remon. hon.
orary president of the Presidents
Cup Regatta Association.
The lone accident connected with
the regatta was reported by harbor
police to be William D. Haygood, a
Sea Scout, of Alexandria, Va, who
was injured in the face when struck
by boat hook He was assigned
at the time to Coast Guard picket
boat. The accident occurred when
the patrol craft went to the assist
ance of an unidentified sailboat fol-
lowing the end of the races. He was
treated at Emergency Hospital for a
iacerateo lip and sent home.
