Choppy water caused the Scram, owned by Buster Schoepfel, of Cincinnati, to spring a leak and she went down before help could reach her. The Rocket, owned by Earl Kraus, Covington, Ky., did not enter the races after a hole was gouged in her hull at 8 a.m. in a collision with Robert Nolleth's Stormy Weather.

Collins Downes and his mechanic, thrown from the Louisville Kid as they were making a turn, were rescued by a Coast Guard boat, and the driver of the Hermes left his boat, leaped to the Louisville Kid and switched off her motor to save her from being damaged.

The Scram remained under water this morning when the owner, assisted by a U.S. Coast Guard boat, were unable to pull her up with a light cable they had tied to her. A buoy was tied to the craft soon after it went down yesterday to enable those who planned to raise the boat to locate her. The boat is valued at approximately $1,000.

Louisville boat owners turned out with the strongest delegation of visiting craft. A flotilla of more than 20 luxurious yachts, cruisers and runabouts arrived at the Madison landing Saturday afternoon, coming into the Hill boat service float in parade fashion. These boats, with their owners and parties, remained in Madison over Sunday for the races.

Cincinnati was represented also by several fine boats and members of the Cincinnati boat club offered their assistance in timing and starting the races.

As far as could be learned the regatta association was able to pay all expenses but profits, if any, are said to be only meager.

The Driftwood, owned by Charles Thornton of Madison, was used later this morning in retrieving the Scram from the river bed. Five men manned a cable after a hook had been fastened to the boat. The craft was taken from the water and loaded onto a trailer for transporting to its home port this afternoon.
