Old Cove Boat ' Races Held In Heavy Wind In a heavy northeasterly wind the Old Cove Yacht Club on July 22 held the second race in its summer point series. Twenty- four boats turned out, which is an unusual amount for a heavy wind of this type. After the race was over the score for the summer point series was tabulated, and in the various classes the following boats were found to be leading: In the Comet class, No. 1271, owned by Paul Fisher; in Fleet -2, National No. 130, owned by Eliza beth Stipe, and in Fleet 3, Moth No. 498, owned by Bruce Lock wood. The winner in the Comet class was Eleanor Norris in Comet No. 1145. Eleanor recently named her boat “Screwball,” and for some odd reason she has the name so well placed and lettered that it can be noticed some distance away. In second place was Grant Harrison. In Fleet 3 Connie Clark in Sur prise won out, while in Fleet 2 Puttin, one of the Lawley “15’s” won.

Jessie Locals Buried Under 15 Hit Barrage; Four Pitchers Fail to Stop Avalanche of Base Hits ^ ' Everybody but Bob Lindsay, the manager, took a turn at pitching batting practice to Southold last Sunday, as the local North Shore League leaders salvaged a sorry looking carcass after a torrential rain of 15 hits started the First Settler avalanche of 17 runs. Mat tituck slammed out a total of ten bingles but due to faulty mechan ism were able to manufacture but one measely tally in the 17-1 rhercilous slaughter. Both Mattituck and Southold experimented with their varsa- tility as eight different pitchers did their act without any curtain calls. The local lads started Bul lock, went through DePetris and Danowski and ended the dallying with Gilles. Southold fed the hill with Marty Shipuleski, Healing, Grattan and Norcklun. The Southold cannonade ignited in the third round when the First Settlers converted three hits into three runs. They scored one in the fourth and amused themselves with a six run barrage in both the fifth and sixth frames. • Triples, daubles and a smatter ing of singles were pitched into the faces of Mattituck defense men and the boys began to get a bit punch drunk toward the late innings. J. Shipuleski led the Stelzer strongmen with three base hits, two triples and a single. Marty Shipuleski was assigned to twirl the fray and received credit for the walk-away. He al lowed no runs -during his tenure, but seven scattered hits were gained off his delivery. M attituck’s losing hurler was Bullock, when he gave up three hits for three runs in the fourth inning. The remaining twelve hits and fourteen runs were garnered from the offerings of DePetris, Danowski and Gilles. Three hits in the eighth stanza gave Mattituck the very short end of the 17-1 tilt.
