CONTINUED From PAGE O.

AAAOkAACA CAbA dOI ulkldIy per-
Torrance was turned in by
Leon Briggs of Washington,
who not only won the afternoon
race for Thistles by many min
utes but came in ahead of all
but one planning division yacht.
The planners started five min
utes ahead Of the Thistles.
Toughest job Of all was that
Of the race committee which
had to keep all the boats and
numbers straight despite their
punching together. The COM
mittee operated from the Coast
Guard cutter Marion.
Two members Of the Cor
coran family of Washington
did well at different times yes
terday. Jimmy Corcoran in
his Cork won the first race for
Lightnings, which was no mean
feat considering there were a
record % starters. His younger
brother David led the Penguin
class in the second race, an
other feet distinguished by
some good sailing talent.
Wells Wins, Trails
Tony Wells, a consistent
front runner in the Chesapeake
EOS, had his ups and downs
yesterday. He won the first
race handily, then fell to 7th
in the next event. Meanwhile,
Jack Kramer Of Annapolis
went into a point lead with a
third and q first.
Prize for consistency might
go to the Jet las. The first five
boats in the morning finished
in that same order in the
afternoon.
In the Hamptons, National
Champion Bob Seidel wasn't
ments and won only the Palm
thirds.
If any prize was going TO be
given for the skipper travelling
the longest distance. it would
go to Robert Frahm and his
pretty wife who trailed from
Grand Rapids, Mich.
At no time was the wind yes
terday more than i've miles an
hour. AS happens so often this
time Of year, the best breeze
came after the program was
all over. For the morning race,
there was a light northerly; for
the afternoon a spotty SOUTH
erly.
But with it all, spirits re-
NAMED high and shippers, like
fishermen with no fish, we're
counting on a better break TO-
day.
