INTERNATIONAL
BOAT RACES IN
ELIZABETH CITY
October | and 2 Events To Be
Greatest in Series; Comes
Close to Bath Celebration

Coming as it does on October 1
and 2, the International Cup Re-
gatta in Elizabeth City this year
draws unusual attention to East
ern North Carolina, which also has
another exceptional event schedul-
ed at Bath where that old towns
250th anniversary is to be cele-
brated on Tuesday, October 5th. 1t
looks as if it will be a big season
in the Coastland of North Caro-
lima.
The Elizabeth City event is of
particular interest to the people
of Dare County, who for many
generations have found in that
town its nearest big commercial
center, and where so many of its
people have gone to live at one
time or another in their lives. In
return, Elizabeth City interests
have been friendly neighbors of the
Coastland people, and have con-
tributed literally to various caus-
es. They have been strong support
ers of the Lost Colony, their cap
ital has gone into the development
of many things in this area. It's
a good town because so many of
its people are our people. Hence,
most of US will take much interest
in attending the cup regatta, as
in many other affairs through the
years.
This years international Cup Re
gatta, to be staged on the Pasquo-
tank River October / and 2, is rap
idly shaping up as a "run-off"' for
the winners of the other major
unlimited trophies this season
Expected entries include defend
ing champion Gale V, winner of
the APBA Gold Cup at Seattle;
Tempo VII, Detroit Silver Cup
winner; Miss Cadillac, winner OF
Canada's Maple Leaf trophy; Gale
w, Detroit Memorial winner, and
undoubtedly the winner of the
Washington, D, c. Presidents Cup
to be decided this week end.
Because of its position as the
final major regatta of the season
for the unlimiteds, Elizabeth City's
International Cup Regatta will
serve in effect as a "play-off" for
the 1866 campaign which to date
has resulted in an unusually equal
distribution of honors and points
to be tailed to determine the years
high point winner, an award which
very likely will be decided at Eliz-
abeth City.
In addition to the cup winners
listed, other outstanding expected
entries include Miss Thriftaway
from Seattle; Breathless, from Cal
ifornia; Rebel, Suh!, from Virgin
ia; Canada's Miss Supertest; and
a whole fleet of other Detroit cam.
paigners: Gale vi, Miss Pepsi, My
Sweetie Dora, Miss U. S., Miss
Wayne, Miss Detroit, Such Crust
III, and Wha Happen Too.

GOVERNOR ORDERS
ALLIGATOR RIVER
BRIDGE SURVEY
Meanwhile Plans Continue for I'm
proving U. S. "a and Build
ing Bridge at Columbia

Governor Luther Hodges this
week allocated $4,000 to make a
survey of the cost of a bridge over
Alligator River, which is good
news to those who have long advo
Gated this much needed structure.
He also allocated $4,000 to make
survey for new bridge across
the Cape Fear River at Whining
ton.
1t is estimated that the Alliga-
tor River Bridge will cost around
$3,000,000, maybe little more
than the Croatan Sound Bridge
now under construction. The esti-
mated cost of the Cape Fear River
Bridge will be about $12,000,000.
How soon the bridges must wait
probably will depend on what Con-
gress does at it's next session about
increasing the federal-aid highway
program. 1t did nothing at its past
session but, with election year ap-
preaching, the chances may be bet
ter next spring.
The Highway Commission,
meanwhile, is moving to put US Ga
in shape to handle the increased
traffic expected to result when the
Croatan and Alligator River fer
ries are replaced by bridges. As
part of the program, it proposes to
re-route US "a through Colum-
bia.
US 64 now passes through CO.
lumbia over the towns Main Street
and drawbridge across the Soup
pernong River. The commission
wants to build a new bridge over
the Scuppernong and move US "a
one block south of Main Street.
If the plan is carried out, the
present bridge would be removed.
Columbia merchants are objecting
strongly. If the Highway Commits
sion must make changes, they con-
tend, the changes should be limit
ed to widening Main Street. They
don't want the old bridge razed.
The new bridge would be built
point crossed by an old rail-
road trestle and the road leading
off the new bridge would run gen.
orally along an old railroad right
of-way.
Highway engineers have told the
Columbia merchants the present
bridge eventually will have to be
replaced anyway. They pointed out
that the bridge is in poor shape
and could not continue to carry
heavy traffic. They also have point
ed out that it would be impractical
to widen Main Street. There is
only so feet clearance between
storefronts and at least 80 feet
would be needed to meet minimum
standards for the improved sec
ton of US GA the Highway Com
mission hopes to build.
The new Scuppernohg River
bridge would need no draw span.
1t would be south of docks and
wharfs on the Scuppernong. The
present bridge, lying north of a
fish house and an oil terminal pier,
had to be equipped with a draw
span so that boats could make pas
sage.

Costello still sees a lot of the
old boys he went to school with,
in his travels around the coun-
try, including William Jennings
Bryan, jr., who came only to the
IGeorgetown-Virginia game every
year and missed the climactic
play four straight years. He left
early, or was distracted by some
thing else every time. But the
last game, the one which Cos
tello won with a 35-yard drop
kick in 1912, was the pay-off.

the play" Harry recalled. 80

and touched a player, but Just
before we tried the kick, a drunk
collapsed in Bryan's arms and
he was helping carry him out

Referee After Loss to EIorde

MANILA, July 81 (P).-Harsh
words flew as thick today as last
nights rain Of pop bottles when
baby-faced Flash Elorde of the
Philippines hammered out a
unanimous decision over Sandy
Saddler, world featherweight
champion, in a 10-round non
title bout.
Saddler said Elorde didn't de-
serve it-truthfully I thought I
had won."
, It took at least seven rounds" "
the New York fighter insisted. I
cannot understand how they
counted. I've never seen ref
cree like maj. jack Sullivan" ="
Saddler's trainer, Joseph Bris-
coe, Clipped in:
I'VE didn't lose the fight. And
we'll never fight here again"
Sullivan and two judges gave
the verdict to Elorde, a 1-to-5
underdog.
Sullivan scored it 81 for FL
orde with one round even. One
Judge had it 80 for Elorde and
the other had it 7-3 for the
Filipino.
Highly partisan fans booed
Saddler Justify for his inflghting
tactics. They hurled pop bottles,
stones and paper bags at the
ring.
One bottle etched a 3-inch
cash in the head of Italo Scor-
tichini of Italy, working in Sad

treated at ringside without
stitches. He booked plane pas

Fans can't be blamed for
stunning the Senator'S. They've
had little to cheer for and in
difference has enveloped them.
They'll be converging on Grif-
fifth Stadium when the club
demonstrates something ap-
preaching equality with other
teams.
For years the Senators per-
mitted other clubs to grab off
virtually every promising young
ster in sight. That policy finally
caught up with them. Only in
the past two seasons have the
Senators attempted to snare their
share of kids.
Now comes the painful process
of development. Harmon Kille-
brew, for instance, is a vastly
improved prospect since the SEN
ators acquired him year ago.
He's nowhere near ready to step
into a major league lineup and
perform acceptably, but he's i'm
measurably more polished than
when ne reported to the team.
Jerry schoonmaker, the sturdy
ex-Missouri athlete, must learn
to whack curve. Carlos Paula
has his shortcomings, but the
present suffering could be worth
it If he continues to progress.

LOS ANGELES. July 21.-It
was pure coincidence that the
day after Harry Costello's name
was mentioned in a conversation
here, the old-time Georgetown
quarterback showed up at the
Redskins training camp for a
look at the 1855 squad. AS al
ways, Harry was in a story-tell-
ing mood about the 1910-14 era
when the Hoyas were at the
zenith of their early football
glory.
Football was a bruising but
Joyous sport in those days when
"Ooch" Moriarity. 'Highlife'
Calnan, 'Hardhead" Kelly and
Evening Meal" King roamed the
Hilltop. The names, as one
might suppose, were gratuitously
bestowed by the other squad
members and eminently earned
by the recipients. There were
only four or five scholarship men
on the squad and, according to
Harry, the students Clipped in
to pay for them out Of their
spending money.
II know" he added, because
I kicked in four bucks myself
one year."
"But our morale was wonder
iful," Harry continued. 1--WE had
only II players and II men usu-
ally played the entire game. The
other six got in only now and
Ithen-like the time we had a so
or 70-point lead on Gallaudet or
the Maryland Aggies, I forget

spotted King on the bench.

BEAT

CLEVELAND, July 21.-Some
nonsensical writing has greeted
the Senators in their tour Of the
West, with suggestions coming
from various sources that people
in high baseball places are con-
cerned with meager attendance
in Washington and that the club
is headed for Toronto, Mime
apolis, Houston or Keokuk.
: Other officials may not like
the size of the checks they're
taking out of Washington, but
all they can do about it is frown
and grumble. They can't vote
the Senators out Of the Capital.
Clark Griffith controls the club
and he won't sell. Calvin Crit
fifth, who will inherit control,
=. says he won't. If somebody
waves 81 million at them, it could
be the lure would be overwhelm-
ing, but nobody can tell them to
forfeit the franchise.

The Senator'S plight is dis
maying but not desperate.
They've finished in the second
division eight straight years and
it's no secret that No. 9 is just
around the corner. But they pay
dividends consistently. Last year,
as usual. they returned a yield
. to stockholders on attendance
that barely edged over the half
/. million mark.
First, there's that $4,000 in

the Washington baseball situa-
