Renewal of Rivalry
Until last year, the Aussies
had held the cup four straight
years after winning it in 1850.
Before that, the United States
had a four-yerr winning skein,
beating Australia each time.
There was no competition in
|1940-45 because Of the war.
Australia won it from the United
States in 1899. The Americans
beat the Aussies in 1888.
So for II years. the only coun-
tries in the challenge round
have been the United States and
Australia.

The schedule for the Presi-
dents Cup Regatta power races
September 17-18 has just beer
completed by General Chairman
Hap Walker and Race Chairman
Earl Hildebrand, and it promises
to give spectators i've hours OF
well-balanced racing each day
For instance, the first and
second heats % the feature race
for unlimited hydroplanes will
be run of at 3 and S pm. Sat
urday. The final heat for the
priced Presidents Cup is set for
pm. Sunday. Then at 3 and 5
pm. two heats for the revived
American speedboat champion
ships and the Bill Rogers Me-
mortal Trophy viii be run--again
for the big Gold Cuppers.
All this breaks a number of
precedents: It's the first time
two heats Of the feature race
are carded for opening day; it's
the first time the final heat Of
the Presidents Cup will be run
so early on Sunday, and it's the
first time that a second race
has been set up exclusively for
unlimited hydros.
Saturdays program otherwise
Is devoted to stock outboards--
AU. Blu and DU and A, B and D
hydros. On Sunday there will
be heats for 48s, 1855, 1865, 225s,
266s and E racing runabouts.
There is likely to be some
complaints from drivers of other
classes that they are not on the
program, but the committee is
operating on the theory that
both drivers and spectators
prefer races with fast. large
fields.
After a lapse of IA years,

soring power regatta. An all

1t should not be too hard to
pick q good fishing spot this
week end if all you wish to do
is catch fish. Since Hurricanes
Connie and Diane, the ubiquitous
spots have had the Chesapeake
Bay situation well in hand and
are biting right through the day.
Moreover, the smaller fish are
not nearly SO numerous, most
fish running medium to large.
Anglers get so tired Of catching
them they just quit. Blood
worms, Of course, are the best
bait and you need a small, sharp
hook with light tackle.
Along with the spot are some
fair croakers and few trout.
The trout, however, are choosey
and seem to want only peeler
crab as bait. You may also ex-
pect to pick up an occasional
white perch and King William
perch, too, with the usual cells
and toadflsh to make 1t trouble
some.
Rockflshing is picking up
somewhat with occasional good
catches. Mixed in with them, one
is likely to find a few small blues
and an occasional trout. Most
Of 1t is blind trolling as the fish
do not seem to be surfacing too
well. Experienced boat captains
can usually put you over the
bottom where they're being
found and then 1t is up to you.
