snarrm, June 26-(A9)-Stan Sayre: whl.ppedhisl,60o-horsepow- er "sio-Mo-shun IV" over Lake Washington today at a spectacul- ar 160.3035 miles an hour for a world's speedboat record. .

His rakish hydroplane whincd twice over a measured mile course at a pace nearly 10 miles an hour faster than the British-held form- er record mark of 141.74. set by Sir Malcolm Campbell's Bluebird II on Lake Conlston. England. which has stood for 11 years.

stymied last week by wirtcly weather, Sayres, an automobile dealer, brought the Seattle-built racer out at 7:10 AM. PDT to take advantage of the morning calm

The lake surface was ripple-d slightly, just enough to givc slo- Mo-Shun proper "footing." The spcedboat. named at a joking sug- gestion of Sayresf wife, left a high volume of spray but little wake as it skimmed the first mile in 31.90 seconds-163.785 miles an hour.

Rcfuelling in just half the is- minute time limit set by inter- national speed-trial rules. sayres ran the mile course from the op- posite direction in 22.95 seconds, or 156.862 rnlles an hour.

Kent Hitchcock. referee repre- senting the American Power Boat Association, announced the com- blned average was 160.3335.

sayres' next goal is the Gold Cup races in Detroit next month. The boat's showing there will de- termine whether it will be entered in the International I-iarmsworth Trophy competition at Detroit in September

Sir.-Our big ltinvitaiion” ath- letic meet is to take place on Memorial Field, Charlottetown, on "Dominion Day." July" 1st. It is hoped nature will smile. and the pleasure of the competitors and a Large attendance will be assured. The games will be under the joint auspices of the Department of Physical Fitness and the Abegweit Amateur Athletic Association.

The manner in which the games were run of! by Brigadier Reid and his smart lieutenants for the last two years was a credit to the Island and a model for any ath- letic association to emulate.

The thoroughness of the older Abegweit Association,'tn this cap- acity was well known and no doubt was a big factor in making

the Charlottetown meets so pop-

ular with Nova Scotia and New Brunswick athletes. Our yester year l:greats" such as Bill Half- penny, Col. D. A. MacKinnon, Ar- thur Gaudet. Phil MacDonald. Dr. Ken Beer. L. B. MacMillan. the late James Mclilachern and James McMillan, Fulton Campbell, and others whose names 1 can't recall, saw to it that fair play was meted out without fear or favor. hence the success and popularity of the games.

Most of the living old time Ab- eg eits are past the age of com- petition. but they take an abiding and kindly- interest in the sport, and in the development of any young prospect. They could give good advice to any young aspiring athlete who is in a receptive mood, and takes a ”tip" in the spirit in which it is given.

The "Sports College" manual disbursed by Brigadier Reid two years ago. was the best of its kind the writer has seen. it was "the law and the prophets" for the am- bitious athlete.

Judging by memory of personal feelings regarding first entry into athletic competition, there must be a great number of boys and young men, who have the urge to compete. but through modesty, in- feriority complex, or with an ov- erbalancing innate vanity and fear of defeat overcoming the urge. give way to frustrations and in-, hibitions frowned upon by philos- ophers of all ages-from Plato. Aristotle and Montaigne. to our present day domestic relations ar- biter. Dorothy Dix. it is better to have tried and lost, than not to have tried at all.

Our boys appear to be backward in shotputting. There is no excuse for that. There are many power- ful young men here who. wi-th a reasonable amount of practice. would put the 16 pound shot 40 feet at least. If they can't readily get a shot, they can surely get I 16 pound stone to practice with. That Yale student. Fuchs, a week or so ago put the ill pound shot 58 feet. six inches, at a meet in California-a transcendent perfor- mance.

Two light stove covers, riveted together, will suffice for a discus (Hi pounds). Chain mesh around a 14-pound rock with a 4-foot wire handle. would be o.k. for a ham- mer. Weight throwing takes a lot of practice. Our boys need a lot. of tuition and practice. Mr. George Walters, manager of the Charlotte- town theatres. is a willing mentor and tutor. if he can spare the time.

He is an example of one who could retire from all strenuous ex- ercise and enjoy the "flesh pots of Egypt"--ease and luxury-but he prefers strenuous exercise and its concomitant "physical illness."

I r if that young and friendly delegation of jumpers comes over from Antigonlah and Halifax, they will put our boys in the shade. but we have (or had) some good men at the R. C. A. l'. Station at Surnmerai' . We 11 not abandon hope.

I am. Sir. etc., JAMES PENDERGAST.
