RAYMOND PAIGE is still spending all his spare time down at Santa Monica with his eight-meter championship sloop, Prelude. The other day he entered a race, and one of his crew had a rather unique experience. The race, it seems, is supposed to start and finish with the same crew of six men. This particular day the weather was on the rough side, and one sailor in the prow was pitched out, unnoticed by all except a Swede in the stern of the craft. As the boat overtook the unfortunate floundering one, the Swede held out a big hand and hauled the other man in by the scat of the pants. "Hey, vol's de idea?" he shouted, shaking him up good and plenty. "You know veil, py golly, that we got to finish dis race with you on deck!"

It's very hard on the roast chicken.
