Motor Boats In Six Races Dixie Wins Second Cup in Fast Time -- Skedaddle a Victor
Six races were run yesterday afternoon between thunderstorms in the series of contests held this week by the Motor Boat Club of America. The events were started from the clubhouse at the foot of West 112th Street and the Hudson River, and despite the inclement weather, attracted the largest crowd of the week. The burning of H. L. Bowden's Mercedes U.S.A., just as it was finishing one of the speed events was the sensation of the day, but few of the spectators saw it. E. J. Schroeder's 152 horse power Dixie, which won the free-for-all championship the previous day, scored another triumph by winning the high speed contest for boats 39.37 feet and under, finishing the 30¾ nautical mile course in the excellent time of 1:22:00.
