Thereby hangs a tale of woe,
For six straight years Palmer,
racing in the 135 class, man
aged to win one heat of a race
in the regatta. only to be elimi-
mated by engine trouble or other
misfortune.
Determined to thwart the
hoodoo, Palmer, beer salesman
last June purchased a bigger
craft-the 18-foot Tommy Boy

tory in his first effort with it.
This was last month, in the Miles
River Regatta.
Rudder Sails by Head.
. A week later came the Bush
River Yacht Club Regatta. The
Tommy Boy whizzed over mile
course at 100 miles an hour, thus
elevating Palmer into a rather
limited group of pilots who have
travelled 100 miles per hour. IN
the next heat, while exceeding
this speed, the Tommy Boy
threw its rudder. The thing few
over the stern and barely missed
Palmer's head.
While Palmer bemoaned the
withdrawal of his boat from fur
ther competition that day, his
mechanic, Jack Sphinx, reminded
him: you're lucky to be alive.
The following week the Tom
my Boy seemed primed for the
Salem, N. j., Regatta when trou-

be sand in the carburetor. 1t

Sphinx ground the valves and
the Tommy Boy was ready for

What happened to the Tommy
Boy at Ocean City was enough
to drown the boat racing ambi-

Joe Palmer.

The craft lost it's left spon-
son. Palmer made for a launch
ing crane. He got there just as
the crane latched onto another
boat. While Palmer awaited a
lift, the Tommy Boy sank in 6
feet of salt water.
It was almost like a funeral
when Palmer brought the Tom
my Boy home. But Sphinx and

busy. No time was to be lost if

This week end will offer a
diversity of sport for rod and
gun addicts. Dove and rail bird
hunting are available in Mary
land and Virginia. Good bass
fishing is at hand in the Shen-
andoah and Potomac Rivers and
many of their tributaries, to say
nothing of largemouth fishing
in farm ponds and other i'm
poundments. Saltwater angling
is improving right along. A
skish tournament for bait and
fly casters is slated Sunday at
the Lincoln Memorial pool un-
der the auspices of the National
Capital Casting Club.
Dove hunters in Maryland and
Virginia met with varied success
on opening days. Perhaps be-
cause of cool nights, the doves
f1ocked up. and unless the hunter
found either a watering or roost-
ing place. or discovered the
flocks feeding. he probably came
home with little to show for the
afternoon except a healthy ap-
petite and weary legs. Many of
those who found game bagged
their daily limit of eight birds.
Cooler weather to the north
has brought down many more
sora and the marshes of the
Patuxent and other waters far
ther south are providing plenty
of birds for the gunner. Pushers
are scarce everywhere and one
has to engage his man well
ahead.
Continuing low water in the
upper Potomac and Shenandoah
has made live bait fishing rather
poor. But trollers and casters,
able to get their lures a good
distance from the boat have had
considerable success. There are
some dandy smallmouth bass in
both these streams and this is
the time to catch them. Many
anglers in the WilliamSport-
Harpers Ferry area are finding
