NEWPORT R I. Aug 3 ItPi—In
a simple ceremony in Morton park,
under the shades ol the lovely trees
tor which this little city is noted.
Thomas Ocave Murdoch Sopwith will
be presented today with a plaque in-
scribed with these stirring Latin
words "Is there a doctor in the
house?"
The presentation will be made by
Phllben R Clutch, president of the
International Society lor the Post-
ponement ol the Inevitable. Mr Sop-
with was chosen tm the la3a recipient
yesterday when he asked lor a day
oil in his Americas cup with Mike
Vanderbilt and his Ranger
In an exclusive interview with this
writer. President Clutch said that he
considered Sopwith s request lor a
delay the finest example of putting
oil the inevitable since Peggy Hop-
kins Joyce’s second husband delib-
erately put her on the slowest train
to Reno
Mr. Sopwith also should receive
some sort ol award tor high goal
optimism, because if he thinks one
day Is glint to save him and his
Endeavor 2nd from the knockout
punch at four straight, he is as wrong
as a turtleneck sweater at a Buck-
ingham palace levee.
What he should have asked is a
five year stay of sentence, with time
off for good behavior. Yet that re-
quest might have been turned down,
for yachting critics say he lias yet to
behave correctly behind Endeavor's
wheel
There was much speculation In this
town as to what Mr Sopwith planned
to do on the day oil There were a
hundred opinions. Some say he plan-
ned to take Endeavor to the ship-
yards. liaul her out of the water and
see if her keel had been fouled by
a lobster pot in that 18 minute and
32 second licking of yesterday. It is
believed that if he does find a lab-
stir par hanging to the bottom, and
Is in good condition, h? will ask
the official committee to allow him to
sail It. Instead of Endeavor, tomor-
row.
1 Others insist that he planned to
use the day In getting a fitting for
dark beard and smoked glasses.
Still other* said he wanted the day]
off to visit the magistrate's court and
have hts name changed.
Still others argued that he wanted
to look at Ranger s bottom and see
for himself that the American de-
fender didn't have a trapdoor through
which outboard motors or Diesel en-
gines were lowered. Still, still, still
others believed he planned to go Into
retreat and spend 24 hours at pray-
ers.
Still, still, still, still others tt now
have more "stills” than a Georgia
moonshiner > advanced the idea that
he was going before the committee
and ask for a new kind of course,
being as he already has been licked
at windward, leeward and the trian-
gular business. His idea, as I heard
it. was to ask that the third race be
sailed on a baseball diamond and
that he be given the right to run
from second to home base without
touching third.
I for one am willnig to hav> such
a request granted. It would really be
■tight, that Endeavor with spin-
naker set. sliding into home.
Or am I boring you?
