By the Associated Press. PRINCETON, N. J., April 22— After a month of outdoor practice th make-up of the Princeton varsity crew is still in doubt. Dr. J. Duncan Spaeth, director of rowing, and his assistant, Charles Logg, have not decided definitely who will row in the varsity boat May 2, when the Navy will be opposed on Lake Carnegle. The season started with fair pros- pects. The first sity crew was made up of the same oarsmen who showed well last Fall, and it seemed that its personnel was fairly certain. to “Al Helmrath altered the' combination, and from then on shifts were frequent. In practice races the varsity boat was twice beaten by the Black crew, which had just been promoted from the third varsity. As a result, the Black crew was advanced to first varsity, except for four men who were retained from the old Orange boat. The present the seating of first | varsity crews follows: Orange—Bow, Capt.

There is still a great uncertainty as to just who of the large galaxy of American professional golfers ~will participate in the British open at Prestwick next June, but the chances are that half a dozen of the outstand ing linksmen will go. The rapidity of the development of high-class goif in this country will be appreciated when It is stated that no American professional, homebred or otherwise. played in the British open until 1910—15 years ago—when Wil- lie Smith, a native of Scotland, who had won the American championship, went across the sea and did very well, as every one in this country thought, to land in fifth place Yet this great professional tourna- back into the 60s, and the cup for which the players now compete annually—it is now held by Walter Hagen. the American home bred—first went into competition in 187 Early effort: of Americans to lift the cup fared no better than that of Willie Smith in 1910.

NEW YORK, April 17.—What you think of a fighter weighing pounds who has knocked out every champion from flyweight to heavy- weight in the past 10 years? This distinction belongs to Tim Healy of Brooklyn, a familiar figure in places where leading battlers fore. gather for workouts. Incidentally it might be asserted that the case of Tim Healy demonstrates that most fighters have big hearts. Tim got the idea he would make a great fighter and repaired to a gy where the good ones go. lHe at tracted no attention until he began pestering the champions in training to put on the gloves with him. He came in for a lot of good-na- tured kidding and at length the cham plons began to accommodate him, and, true to the precepts of pro boxers, he came to no harm. Now Healy travels from gym to 8ym where the champions are and challenges every one to a fight. After a show of reluctance Healy's demand is met and the bout usually ends with the champion on the floor and Healy standing over him pleading for him to get up and take one more real sock. Every one from Harry Wills down has been “put to sleep’ by this ear-( nest little battler, who is one of those lads who eat fight, sleep fight, talk fight until the strain proves too much. To meet Healy's demand for for mally arranged bouts with champions, Mel Cook, Eddie Cannonball Martin's manager, adopted the idea of having matches arranged by telegram and then at the last moment having them called off because of tonsilitis, cold feet, and so forth. Healy is thus kept happy and no one is hurt. His pub- lic appearances are confined to smok- ers and benefits, where his unique bag punching feats elicit roars of laughter and thunders of applause.
