 The Windbird averages 8 knots with sail and about 9k knots with both sail and power.

It was Interesting III everyway," was the way Dr. A. Holmes Johnson described the five-week trip of the Windbird, S 38 foot ketch, from Seattle up the inside pas sage and across to Kodiak.
 Dr. and Mrs. Johnson, their son, Fs. Holmes and h;s fiancee Miss Marian James of Seattle made up the crew of the Windbird.
 The vessel arrived in port July 25. The log of the Wind- bird shows 1,797.2 nautical miles logged and a total of 363 hours actual running time.
 The Windbird carries four sails, a jib, staysail, main and mizzen. It is II 1-3 feet in the beam, draws six feet of water, has a 28 horsepower Grey aux Hilary engine, a 12 volt light plant, 55 watt Fischer radio and sleeps five.
 On the trip along the Cana dian and Alaskan coast Dr. Johnson charted a course be- tween the hundreds of rocks and islands along little used channels to avoid the regular shipping lanes.
 We encountered lots of fog and it rained during the major part of the trip" Dr. Johnson said.
 They stopped at several Canadian ports including Prince Rupert. "Anchoring at night in Princess Louise Inlet in Canada was the most dan, gerous and exciting incident of the trlp," Dr. Johnson said.
 The Windbird was in port at Ketchikan for three days while the crew waited for a repair on their radio. Other ports of call. besides coves and inlets at night, were Juneau, Petersburg, Yakutat, Seward and Montague Island.

! - " " Nli 1 - -SSCA lSAo'
 An even better club-perhaps 1 the best of aIl-the YanHs of l927 led by Miller Huggins
 and spurr9d on by Babe
 Ruth's 50 bomers, set the
 American League mark with i110 victories.
 ] Now, believe it or not, the Brooklyn Dodgers of 1852 are making a serious bid to tie the Tanks record and might make a serious challenge for the Cubs's old mark. The Dodgers have won 61 of i the S7 played. They have 67 1 games left to play and if they continue their present pace they will wind up with no victories.
 /; 1 doubt if they will make the grade because they have
 not enough games left against the Reds, the Braves and the Pirates.
 The Dodges' pace against those three clubs have been , phenominal. They have played a total of Al games against the , three league trailers - and
 have only three games, all to l the Reds.
 1 Against the Reds the Dod- gers stand 1928; and against the Braves 15-0 and against
 the Pirates 14-0. Total: Al
 victories, 8 defeats.
 The Dodgers have 22 games remaining against those three
 push-overs, but the law of
 averages will work against them,
 . You may recall that the ex-
 perts generally agreed when
 the season began that the Dodgers has no pitching. Per-
 haps not, but somebody must
 have been throwing all those
 victories for them.
 As a matter of fact, the Dodgers have more good pitchers than any other club
 in the league. They have so
 many good ones that Charley
 Dresser can afford to give them plenty of rest between
 assignments.
 l Look them over: there's the
 steady veteran, Preacher Roe,
 still unbeaten. There's Carl
 Erskine of no hit fame. And
 Chris Van Cuyk, Ralph Bran
 ca Glenn Labine and Billy Loes
 to say nothing of big Ben Wade and Joe Black, the re-
 liefer.
 1 Despite their terrific pace
 to pay, the Dodgers are by no
 means a sure bet to win the
 pennant. The Giants have
 been hot on their trail all the way and the Cardinals, mag
 nificently handled by Eddie
 Stanky, have been coming a.
 long at tremendous clip. The Giants and the Cards should keep the Dodgers from becom- ing over-confident, the Card inals having won 9 out of 12 from the Dodgers. Lefty Craft is in Adak this

lated coming regulations were de.
|nied today by officials of the Zon-
ing Commission and the National
Capital Parks Office.
The new. $663,0O0 outdoor
|theater in Rock Greek Park Is on
Government land and therefore
is not subject to zoning regula-
tions. they pointed out.
The zoning charge was one of
IL points Of a protest petition to

names of so residents Of the
amphitheater area, went to Presi-s
dent Truman, Capitol Hill and.
the District Commissioners yes-s
terday.

John F. Hillyard, attorney who
filed the petition. charged each
showing of the pageant during the
summers of 1850 and 1851 was q
violation of the District zoning
regulations and further violations
should not be permitted"
He said the property "in the
Ineighborhood" of the theater IL
zoned residential restricted"
Melvin c. Hildreth, vice chair-
man OF the Sesquicentennial
Commission which presented the
pageant, commented if there
should be coming violations, 1t
would render the amphitheater
useless for any gathering.
Same Situation.
I'VE would have the same sort.
OF situation with concerts, re-
Il1gious meetings or any gatherings
There" he said. He added negotia-
tlons already are under way for q

Among the 13 points in the pro.
test were: Loud amplification.
causing sleeplessness until as late
as four in the morning; rehearsals

cessive noise of patrons leaving

Also protested were "dust from

into the houses, and parking pa
irons cars in the neighborhood,
making it impossible for guests Of
residents to find parking places" :"
Plans for Paving.
Mr.. Hildreth, said the Commits.
sion has tentative plans for paving
the 2.000-car parking area about
which the petition complained.
/ He is mapping a reply to the
protest and indicated it would be
