Canoe Chairman Has Notable
Career as Regatta Tycoon

William A. Rogers, chairman
OF the canoeing phase of the
Presidents Cup Regatta, is just
as much at home staging a power
boat regatta.
In fact, Bill could be called the
pappy of the Presidents Cup Re-
gatta. He staged the first such
event here in 1926. when the
fastest thing afloat on the Poto-
mac was George Battenfieldis
Grey Bat, which sped at % miles
an hour.
Rogers first got his feet wet in
the canoeing game in 1908 when
he joined Washington Canoe
Club. He was soon winning tilt
ing and other padding events.
He has served as commodore of
the club three times, starting in
1909. Also he was head of the
club for two years during World
War II.
Bill later branched out to run
abouts and cruisers, and became
interested in speedboat racing.
He has maintained keen in
terest in this phase of the regatta
up to the present time.
In between, he's served on
committees of the American Pow
er Boat Association, was vice
commodore of the Yachtsmen's
Association of America, which is
the group that stages the Harms
worth Trophy races, and was
made an honorary vice Commo-

sailing events Of the Presidents Cup
Regatta, shippers from this area also
will be racing for the class regional
championships. Defending the title
won at Urbanna, Va, last year will
be Joe Kraft of Old Dominion Boat
Club.
The same three races in the re-
gatta series will serve for the region
al title. Penguin sailors also hope
to have the new class champion
compete. Glass nationals are being
held this week end off Mantoloking
N. j., on Barnegat Bay Runyon
Collie of the jersey club is defending
champion.
Similarly. Comet shippers racing
here are looking for the 1948 inter-
national winner to show up. The
Comet championship is Under way
this week end, too, on Lake Erie of
Port Clinton.
Other sailing classes for the Sep
tember 1919 windjammer phase o1
the Presidents Cup are Chesapeake
20s, Chesapeake les, Lightings
Snipes, National One-designs, Hamp.
ton One-designs, Moths, Tempests
Stars and Indian Landing 20s. The
Washington Sailing Marina, located
on the Virginia shore just below Ma
tional Airport, will be sail regatta
headquarters.
Hard luck for Gold Cup boat
owners appears to have stricken
United States and foreign craft
alike. And that is why Achille
Castoldi, owner-driver of the radi-
cally designed SAINT Ambrogio, has
packed up and headed for his home
| in Italy. 1t further means that the
Presidents Cup race will not have
an overseas entry. OF course, the
Canadians, Harold and Ernest Will
son may be on hand with Miss Can
ada 3rd, winner of last weeks Sill
yer Cup race at Detroit.
Castoldi's boat broke down and
sank after completing 10 miles OF
the Gold Cup race in August and
again in trials for the Silver Cup
Before leaving the United States
Castoldi promised to be back next
year with two new boats, presumably
designed with an eye to staying
power this time.

with Bill Leetch

Of the Federal men who drove ap-
proximately $50 miles over on the
Eastern Shore of Maryland, during
which he checked nine hunters,
found none of them had as much as
a feather. The best bag we've heard
of so far is five for one pair of
shooters. Perhaps it has been so
hot that the birds are either in the
deep woods or high corn during
the day and not easily located. We
hope that with the first frosts north
of us flight birds will help sweeten
the outlook, otherwise we're going
to have one of the poorest seasons
on record. We usually know where
we can have at least shot or two
at passing birds during an after
noon, but this year we're frankly
stumped.
Fishing in the Chesapeake con-
tinues about as usual, with nothing
much to write about. There are
plenty of spot. small trout, rock
fish and blues in the Bay. Also
some fair perch in the South, Severn
and Patuxent Rivers, with a few
trout and spot thrown in. Up the
Potomac, bass fishing has been
nothing to brag about, but the
water is in good shape for this time
of the year, and will improve as ii
ceases working. Same applies to
Triadelphia Reservoir, where the
angling has been only mediocre
Some nice crappie have been taken
in Occoquan Greek, also Aqua
