Who Won
> Constellation: four out of six races in the two-week New York Yacht Club Cruise series, for an impressive comeback over her archrival American Eagle. Though the Yacht Club Cruise does not count in choosing a U.S. twelve-meter to defend the America's Cup against Britain next month, Constellation Co-Helmsmen Eric Ridder and Bob Bavier finally seem to have their boat clipping along handsomely, should make it interesting against previously unbeaten Eagle in the final selection trials starting Aug. 17.
> California's Patty Caretto, 13: the 1,500-meter-women's freestyle in the National A.A.U. championships, bettering two world records in the process, at Los Altos Hills, Calif. The eighth-grade sprite was only following her coach's instructions, ripped off the first 800 meters in a record 9 min. 47.3 sec. because he said that early speed was the way to win the race, then just kept going, winding up 1,500 meters in 18 min. 30.5 sec., a phenomenal 13 1/2 sec. better than the old record.
