FORE AND AFT

, Some one in the Presidents Cup
! Regatta Association had stroke of
genius in deciding to let Gold Cup
owners and drivers know that the
races here September Is and 26
won't be a fiasco of the Detroit va
riety last week end.
1t wasn't said that way, but that
was what was meant Actually
drivers were informed that races
would not start if the waters of the
Potomac are rough, Postponements
will be called until things quiet

1t will come as good news to the
men now struggling to get their
boats back in shape after various
breakdowns, sinkings and general
shaking up experienced during the
Gold Cup classic on the Detroit

putting those powerful Allison en-
gines in hulls of more substantial
construction, it looks as though they
will have to be pampered Foot
note: Even Harry Lynn's new 30
foot boat Lahala, the latest from the
designing board of Ventnor Boat
Co. and very substantial craft,
broke down on the raging Detroit
River.
The same sort of thing happened
last Sunday at Maryland Yacht Club
to none other than our boy Joe
Palmer. prize winning 135-cubic
inch hydroplane driver. He won the
first heat for the Charles F. Chap
man trophy with not too much diff
flculty. But, in the second heat on
the last lap his Tommy Boys STAR
board sponsor was ripped off, ap-
parently by a floating object.
Joe kept going, as he is wont to
do. and about quarter r-mile from
the finish, his engine started miss
ing Clarence Collins, his friendly
rival from Norfolk, sped by to win
the heat. Joe took the prize on

Rowing is coming back, to the
olden days on the Potomac" George

things down, but we're putting en-
