PHILADELPHIA, August 3.—More than 100 crews and a number of indi- vidual oarsmen were entered in the golden jubilee regatta of the Na- tional Association of Amateur Oars- men, opening today on the Schuylkill river, the greatest number in the history of American rowing. Junfor events comprised the first day's program, thirty-three boats manned by athietes who have never finished first in a race being sched- uled to start in the six events. In the two singles races, for gigs and shells, the gigs have nine entries and the latter thirteen, necessitating the rowing of two heats in each. A majority of the junior crews were trom Philadelphia. although there vere representatives from St. Louls, New York, New Orleans and Pltts- burgh in most of the races. In addi- tion to the singles, the program in- cluded doubles, four-oared gigs, quads and eights. Winners of today's races, all of which will be rowed over 'a mile- and-a-quarter straightaway course, will qualify for the intermediate events tomorrow. YANK-WHITE SOX DISPUTE UP TO UMPIRE, SAYS BAN CHICAGO, August 3.—Following re- ceipt of a protest from the Chicago White Sox against what were termed the stalling tactics of the New York Yankees in Tuesday's game, Ban Johnson, American League president, said last night that it was not with- in his power to award a game to the Sox on a forfeit, and that if a forfeit had been justified, the umpire should have awarded it. The league chief sald he had asked Manager Huggins for a statement and that some action might be taken, if it were justified, after the complaint had been investigated.

YANKEES GAIN A GAME; WIN AS BROWNS LOSE The Yankees, by taking the meas- ure of Speaker's Indians, 5 to 1, while the Browns were losing a home-run hitting tilt to the Athletics, 8 to 4, have moved to within a game of the league-leading St. Louisans. Kenneth Willlams of the Browns, with his sixth circuit blow in as many days, increased his season total to twenty-eight, and now is leading the home-run hitters .of both major loagues. Hornsby of the Cardinals previously led with twenty-seven. Hauser, McGowan and Miller of the Mackmen accounted for four-base hits in the same game. The Yankees' victory over Cleveland was marked by the hurling of “Bullet Joe” Bush, who held the Speakerites to two hits, one a single by Jamieson in the first frame and the other a triple by Wamby in the ninth. Wam- by was brought home by Speaker’ sacrifice fly for the only Indian score. Meusel and Ruth had a batting frolic, the former accounting for a homer and a single, and Ruth two two-bag- gers and a single. The only National League contest, between the Cubs and the Phillies, went fifteen innings to a 7-7 tie, and then was called bécause of the condi- tion of the diamond. 1 OMINICAN LYCEUM tossers D THE HOME-RUN RACE Kenneth Willlams of the St. Louis Browns is still on the ram- page.

F Willie Doak, the spitball pitcher of the St. Louis Nationals, strikes [ the trail and begins to hurl as effectively as he did last season, the manager ofethe Cardinals has a hunch that his team may win the championship of the National League, even if the Giants did take Bos- ton’s best pitcher away and even if Scott happens to be able to fill the shoes of the exiled Toney. For every game that Doak lost in 1921 he won two and one-half. This year he has reduced that ratio to ever figures and for every victory he puts up a defeat.
