A POPULAR SOUTH BAY SPORT — SCOOTERS STARTING A RACE. 
could stand the battering they got, to say noth¬ 
ing of making such good time. How did you 
work up that spurt at the finish?” 
‘‘I cut out the muffler and let her exhaust 
straight,” answered Bob, laughing. “Didn’t you 
■hear the sputter she made? I had never thought 
of doing that until the other day, when Sally 
gave me a rush order for milk, on pain of hav¬ 
ing no chowder for dinner, and I had to go way 
up to Dunham’s for it. It seemed to me then 
that she picked up considerably, but I had no 
way of knowing just how much it helped.” 
As he finished speaking, Sally appeared at the 
top of the club house steps, laughing happily and 
holding up the beautiful silver cup that Titania 
had won. The judges stood with her, laughing, 
too, and one of them called down to Burton: 
“Better look out, Bob. I’m afraid we’ve got 
you into trouble. We told your sister she might 
take the cup down to you, but she’s so pleased 
with it and says the lining of it matches her 
sou’wester so well that we’re afraid she won't 
surrender it, even to you.” 
“Surrender it? Not I!” cried Sally gaily. “I 
shall hold it in trust for Titania, and I promise 
you now that if you people want it back at this 
end of the lake next year you’ll have to fight for 
it. As a 1V2 horsepower combination. Bob and 
Titania are hard to beat.”—The Girl, in Power 
Boating.
