Tomorrow's course will be l5 miles to windward and return to a mark nine miles southeastofBvcn- tons Reef Lightship in Narragan- sett Bay. Prevailing winds at this season are south to southwest and have been fairly steady at from eight to 20 knots fo the past month. >

If like conditions prevail tomor- row the course will lie to a mark southeast of Block Island and prove the first real test of the respective merits of the two boats and the rival crews.

Both boats have been built to the limit of their “J" class, call- ing for a waterline length not ex- ceeding 37 feet. They follow the same general lines.

Both disrupt the theory the less bulk resistance oflered by boats of [equal sail-carrying capacity the faster they will move through the water because both have consist.- ently beaten their smaller trial horses on all points of sailing and

Ev McNeilFs northend Rovers last night Jumped into the lead in the City Softball League with a sensational 6-0 victory over the Es- qulrfib in a grime that was easiy the best played on the local dia- mond this season.

Poi" five innings Art; Mollins of the Rovers and Ray Stull of thc Estpiircs hooked up in one of the prettiest hurling duels ever witness- ed here. Not a runner could com- piclc thc circuit as Stull‘s blazing fiis‘. ball pulled him out of two bad holcs and Mollins‘ mates fielded superbly behind him.

But the break came in the last of the sixth. The first Rover bat- ter was safe on a damaging error iii the Elsquires‘ infield; the next two mcn were retired as the basc runner advanced to third and then raced home with the first score of the game as Stull with a count of thrct and two on the batter iin- corked a wild pitch to give the man a free pass to first; the runner wcnt to second on a passed ball scoring as the next batter got a life. on another Esquire error; then came the only hit of the inning Stewart singling to centre to drive in the third run of the inning as the next hitter lined out to first bfhr.

Unsteady as Rovers came w bat for the seventh Esqulrcs presented the Rovers with another riui on the strength of two more errors and a pfl-SMZII batter and in the winners last time at bat they came through with two additional counters, the first run be ng the only earned counter of the game, Ab McKinnon tiic sparkplug of the winners last. night singling to start the trains: oli, pi fering second, going to iliiru on an infield out and then racing home as Esquircs elected to try and get a runnci- going to second base.

‘There is nothing so uncertain as horse racing. JustK as we had con- cluded that Sully 2.11 was a 2.08 pacer. along comes Calumet Duke to defeat him at Inverncss, N.S. on Wednesday. Calumet Duke hung up a new track record of 2.12 for the course. which by the way just equals his own former record.

A good little trotter is coming up from North Sydney to take part in the races at Montague and Charlottetown. I refer to Aliset 2.15 by Longsct 2.031..
