IRVINGTON, Va, Aug. 2.-Hare
luck skipper of these parts today
was Chauncey Willis of Norfolk
who fought for top honors in tht
Hampton one-design class compel
ing in the Virginia Sailing Regatts
only to be thrown out on a protest
After waiting whole day fol
the wind to abate, the Race Com.
mittee yesterday went out in the
white-capped Rappahannock to di.

ers dropped out with rigging OF
other troubles. Over half the fleet
went back to Carter's Greek after
the first race. They had haG
enough. But not Willis and six
other hearty shippers and theil
drenched crews.
The second race counted seven
starters, one capsizing and one
withdrawing. This time Charles
Oinky) Vail of Norfolk, in Rebel
II. was the winner, with Willis
Long Gone coming in second.
For the third event, only foul
boats remained. One of these
dropped out, leaving the field tc
Willis, Vail and Lloyd Emory OF
Gloucester, Va, who finished in
that order. This put Willis on tor
in the series, with Vail second ano
Emory third.
But on returning to the club
Willis learned a protest had been
filed against him by the skipper
of the capsized boat in the first
race. The committee found that
Willis had violated a rule in bargine
the starting line and becoming in
volved with the boat that capsized
So out he went. This gave the
series to Vail, second to Emory and
Willis had to be satisfied with a
third.
The Penguin class shippers agreed
not to sail their third scheduled
race since it was getting late-when
the committee finally came in from
the Hampton events-and the wind
still was blowing. This gave the
series to Len Penso of Columbia
Y. C. here, and second to Ralph
Youngs of Arlington, who is one OF
the original Penguin sailors in these
parts.
Young Bill Cabell of Norfolk won
the concluding race for Moths after
staging the regatta's biggest feat
capsizing and then righting his boat
to continue on. Bill Berry, also OF
Norfolk, won the Snipe class. The
handicap event was taken by o. N
Klepper of Hampton.

Z
Clyde Box, Fierce Back, Tolls
With Skins Though Unsigned

since last December. He's as tall
and skinny as ever and. with excep-
tion of the widening circumference
of the bald spot on his noggin, looks
about the same as when he came
up to the club u years ago.
Like all veterans, Sam regards
preseason training as q necessary
Ievil-3o days Of hard labor. But
an inquisitive eye can see as much
anxiety in the older hired hands as
in the rockies. For some this will
be their last campaign in the big
league. Time, slowing their step,
making it harder to melt of the
lard, will cut them from the list as
ambitious and youthful rockies move
up to replace them.
The rockies, of course, are anxious
to get into high gear. After hear
ing and reading so much about
Baugh's record-smashing feats, they
can't wait to get their hands on one
of his passes-to discover how he
throws the ball and whether they
can handle it.
Turk Anxious Over Deals.
Coach Turk Edwards looks bit
anxious himself. He wants to see
/ if the deals he made last season
for Roy Mckay of Green Bay, Tom
Dean Of Boston and HOWE Livings-
ton Of the New York Giants work
out to his advantage. On paper
they look good, but what they do
on the field is what counts.
The young man on the anxious
seat is Harry Gilmer, hoping to
step into Baugh's pointed cowboy
boots and take over the chief pass
ing role. That's job Roy thinner
man, frankie Filchock, Jack Jacobs
and Jimmy Youel were supposed to
do, but Sam didn't fade quickly
enough to give them a chance.
At the moment Gilmer is wor-
ried about being five pounds over
weight 1t isn't noticeable, Of
course, in this collection of masta-
dons, but Gilmer wants to be in
perfect condition for his bid. He's
got to be right and he knows 1t
because good as the competition
was in college it's going to be
tougher in this league-particularly
with Baugh still in there pitching.

Charles Fight Ruling
Slated by Medics,
Ring Heads Today

Whether there'll be a fight here
between Ezzard Charles and Jimmy
Bivins next Monday night was te
be decided by the District Boxing
Commission today. Charles was tc
be examined by a board of commits
sion doctors to see whether the in
juries or ailments he claims to have
are enough to keep him from fight
ing next week.
The bout already has been post
poned from tonight, and Charles
managers are requesting further
setback to August % or 30. Those
dates are unavailable here.
Charges of "runout" are being
tossed in all directions by various
interests connected with the bout
Matchmaker Gabe Menendez claims
that the Twentieth Century Sport
ing Club is trying to prevent the
fight in hopes of having Charles
meet Jersey Joe Walcott in New
York some time next month. A
Bivins victory over Charles here
would hurt such fight.
Gabe Is threatening a 100000
suit if Charles doesn't go through
with the Bivins fight. Also limiting
court action is Charley Ford. local
attorney and vice chairman of the
Variety Clubs Welfare Committee.
under whose auspices the fight here
is scheduled.
Leonard Shane, Bivins' manager,
is trying to make his voice heard
above the general confusion. He
says that Charles is afraid of Bivins.
that Bivins is in shape to win If
they go through with it, and so
forth.
Even If Charles is declared okay
by the doctors today, which isn't
certain, there's a chance he won't
fight next Monday night. He hasn't
been training and his handlers
claim it takes two or three weeks
for him tn oct into shane

ficials of the Maryland Racing
Commission testified today that
the 12-year-old gelding, Alpine
Boy, was fit to run in a Cumber-
land race July "a, the day that
Jockey Benny Leggett met his
death. -.
The commission opened a hear
ing today on the accident to de-
termine if there was any negn-
gence.
Leggett, 22-year old jockey from
Gaithersburg, Md, collapsed after
he was thrown from Alpine Boy
and died next day in Cumberland
hospital.
Joseph F.. Flanagan, who repre-
sents the commission as steward
at all Maryland tracks, as the nrst
witness, said he noticed the horse
lust before the race and saw noth-
ing out of the ordinary.
DR.. F. M. Keller, chief veterinar-
ian for the commission, testlfled
that he knew Alpine Boy was blind
in one eye and had slight cataract
on the other. However, Keller said,
the horse could see out Of the one
eye and there was nothing to pre-
vent his racing.
The veterinarians said the geld
ing was examined on the day OF the
race, a week ago last Saturday.

little hill" DR.. Keller said, "and
he did not make a false move"
Matthias c. Shea, racing secretary
at the Cumberland Fargo track

ing in his files to show that Alpine
Boy had ever been barred from
another track. The horse was
barred last year from the Charles

Progressive Party
OF Arizona Placed
On State Ballot

The Progressive Party of Arizo-
ma, after filing in seven counties
with a total of 1895 signatures,
was placed on the ballot in Arizona
last Wednesday, when Mr.. c. M.
Williams, acting secretary of state,
issued them a certificate to that
effect. A total of 2,45O signatures
was needed for the state require
ment.
Organized three months ago at
a state conference of active Pro-
gressives from twelve counties of
the state, the party here has just
finished a whirlwind campaign of
activity which saw one of the larg-
est political audiences pay to hear
Henry A. Wallace speak. The plac-
ing of the party on the ballot to-
day brings to an end the party's
second phase of activity. Robert E.
Miller, treasurer of the Progressive
Party, stated today, "the willing
ness of so many people to sign the
Progressive Party petitions indi-
Gates that the new party will play
an important part in the coming
elections.
In accordance with state law the
new party will hold its state con-
vention Immediately after the pri-
maries, at which time local candi-
dates and presidential electors will
be chosen. Miller stated that wher-
oUnr Pr0CrnSSiVn candidate an.
peared on one of the other of the
two old parties, that the new par
ty would endorse that candidate,
rather than run a candidate in
competition. But he stated further
that it was definite that new party
candidates would be in the field
wherever "a "Tweedle-Dee" or
''Tweedle-Dum" appeared in the
old parties.
