SHERMAN HOYT SAILS THE LEA ACROSS THE LINE A WINNER in first of the series of international races off Oyster Bay between the American and British six-meter yachts. All four of Uncle Sam’s tiny racing craft finished ahead of John Bull’s invading quartet in last Saturday’s opening melee. The Lea, owned by J. F. Bermingham and masterfully sailed by Hoyt, finished the twelve-mile race nearly ten minutes ahead of H. B. Plant’s Clytie.
