S Five Crews Seen as Having Great Chance to Win Classic Collegiate Fvent NAVY AMONG THOSE LEFT“0UT INCOLD” California, Cornell, Syracuse, Washington, Pennsylvania Rated Contenders. BY LAWRENCE PERRY. OUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., June 20.—Never were there pros- pects of competition so keen, of rivalry so exacting, among so many eight-oared crews as exist today on the four-mile Hudson River course, off this placid little upstate city, where stalwart combinations represent- ing eight universities await the word that will bring them to the starting line off Crum Elbow. Usually one or two crews stand out as logical favorites, their status in the public mind having been erected on the basis of their showing in preliminary regattas as well as their development in the final weeks of preparation for the great Hudson River classic. ‘Today five crews at least offer claims ot to be denied by those who, through partisan enthusiasm or for reasons not 50 worthy, are indulging in speculations regarding the outcome of the varsity event. AMED in alphabetical order the crews most feared by the coaches, who are always closer to an ad- vance rowing situation than any one else, are California, Cornell, Pennsyl- vania, Syracuse and Washington. | All of these have turned in extremely fast time trials, which may mean little or nothing when the time comes to get into the race and slog and endure and Jockey against other high class rivals— and all of them have impressed compe- tent observers by their excellent water- manship and thelr synchronized har- mony in action. Of the crews less highly regarded, Columbia, Navy and Massachusetts Tech, any one of them may storm to the fore and demonstrate—as underdog crews at Poughkeepsie so often have demonstrated—the futility of basing Jjudgment upon form shown in advance. ‘The history of rowing at Poughkeepsie is filled with such instances and there is nothing the commentator can do about it except to note the fact and thus use it as a shelter from jibes in | case the usually unusual occurs. EGARDING the facts as they have been brought here on the Hudson, | the writer cannot resist the thought | that if he were the coach of any crew | other than Washington, he would fenri the Huskies more than any other eight on the river. In view of the unvarying excellence of so many of the crews that will go | down the Hudson this evening, it is| not tov easy to give reasons for this | impression, except to say that it is an | impression’ based upon the tremendous | power the crew reveals. The fact is that the oarsmen assembled by Coach Ulbrickson are of a physical type quali- fied to handle the traditional Washing- ton stroke which has brought so many | laurels to the rowing system at Seattle. Yet, saying t. California keeps crowding into the mind. Given smooth conditions. no head wind, it is entirely conceivable that the Bears might go blazing down the course not only in the van, but driving their brazen prow | to & new course record. But suppose | there are head winds? Suppose there | is a bobble of a sea on? Can the Cali- | fcrnians, powerful though they may be, maintain at high clip a stroke which | imposes so great a strain upon their If they can the men of Berkeley are likely to turn in a glorious victory. | ORNELL, beautifully together, ask- ing nothing in the way of brawn and stamina from any crew, what | about her? A shrug is the answer. Both | the Bears and the Huskies will have to | TOW their best to head her—or at least, | 80 it seems. | And if the going is good Syracuse will be in there beyond question. A great many of the wiseacres think the Orange has it in her to win this race. It would not be at all surprising if she did. It | would be more of a surprise if Penn | should come through, but if she did it | would not be the first time a_compara- | tively less brawny but beautifully | trained and geared eight drove to the | fore on this course. | All in all one may say only one thing | with certainty, and that is that a great free-for-all is'in prospect, and that if conditions are good—as they promise to be—the crew that wins will in all prob- ability have broken a record. DIVERS TO COMPETE FOR A. A. U. HONORS Men's and Women's District Titles to Be Decided Tonight at Glen Echo Pool. Interesting competition is expected to mark the contests for both the men's and women's District A. A. U. high- board diving_championships tonight in the pool at Glen Echo Park. Roger Leverton will not defend his men’s diving title, and Robert Knight, John Broaddus, Mahlon Glascock, Wil- liam Tarbett, Norman Smith and Regi- nald Hodgson will bid for it. Onalene Lawrence, champion, and Lois Bates are the favorites in the wom- en’s diving, with Leonora Taube also considered formidable. Mary Maurine and Betty Cates are other entries. Aside from the diving, three events each for men and women have been ar- ranged, and a host of leading perform- ers of the District area have entered. Competition will start at 9 o'clock. Baltimore Grabs Flag Chase Lead EW YORK, June 20.—Interna- . tional League fans are getting plenty of action for their money these days. Take Sunday, for in- stance. There was a shift in the positions of the leaders after the Sunday double-headers were all fin- ished. Baltimore grabbed first place from the Buffalo Bisons. The Orioles took two games from Toronto, while the Bisons had to be content with an even split with the Skeeters. Newark won a twin bill from Mon- treal, and the second game gave Rufus Meadows a chance to step into base ball's hall of fame. . Meadows pitched perfect ball in the nightcap, blanking the Royals ‘wuiout. 2 hit. It was only & seven- inning game, due to the Interna- tional League rlue, which permits the home team to card their night- caps as seven-inning affairs, but the way Mecadows was going he might not have granted a safe blow for 17 frames. Meadows is a Yankee farm- hand, and if he can keep up his present winning gait he may be of some real use to Manager McCarthy . mext seaon. | West Colored Professional League games. PORTS.

EFINITE lines of leadership, for the first time this sandlot sea- son, have been established in the unlimited ranks. Dixie Pigs and Columbia Heights, in the Capital City League, and Hyattsville, St. Marys Celtics and Howard A. Frenches, in the independent ranks, to- | day are sitting on top of the sandlot world. | ‘The Dixies, by virtue of their clean- cut 2-to-0 win over Ciro’s Villagers yes- terday, reached the pinnacle in section A of the Capital City loop, while Colum- | bia Heights, with five victories and no defeats, are well out in front in sec- tion B. [ Hyattsville, which has lost only one game this season, avenged the defeat by trimming their conquerers, the Rock Creek Servicenter tossers, yesterday by 3to 1. St. Mary's Celtics rolled merrily on by downing Ballston, 6 to 1.

By the Associated Press. HICAGO, June 20.—M. L. Schwartz’s Gusto today was ready to move from Washington Park to Arlingtoh Park, where he will attempt to prove his unexpected victory in the American Derby Saturday was no mistake. ‘The 3-year-old son of American Flag and grandson of Man O'War, will make his next big start in the $70,000 added classic at Arlington, in which a triumph would mean a lot toward recognition as the best of the season in his division. He came out of the American Derby in excellent shape and his trainer, Max Hirsch, predicts he will be hard to catch from now on. Gusto's victory over Osculator, Prince Hotspur and seven others, including Stepenfetchit, which wound up in sev- hit game and turning back the Eagles, 4 to 0. Only two of the Skinkers reached first. Wild Bill Payne was nicked for seven hits by the All-Stars. Rockdlie scored a run in the ninth inning to hang up a 7-t0-6 victory over the Howitzer Giants in a Montgomery County title game.

Shadows of the Past BY L C. BRENNER JACK BLACKBURN. ACK BLACKBURN, they call him. Charles Henry, he was christened at Versailles, Ky., in 1883, Quick on his feet, clever on defense, carrying a jarring right, the kind that made him famous against the stars of his day, this 5 feet 11 inches tall Negro is doing today at the Arcade Gym- nasium of Chicago what he did for Jim Jeffries and other famed gladia- tors when he helped train them for important fights. _As “Lena” he was known to them, but to the boys of this era, is simply Jack. Twenty-five years ago, Blackburn, at the height of his career and close to the top of the lightweight division, put himself out of the champion- ship picture by being sentenced to prison for inflicting a gun wound on a friend, when, if he hadn't lost his head in the quarrel that had ended so disastrously for him, he might have been crowned king of his div sion. It was all a mistake, Black- burn insisted, but the law took its course and a prospective champion was ushered out of the spotlight. ‘Today Blackburn is almost 50 years old, yet shows no traces of the worries and hardships through which he has been. Tall, lean, muscular, stately in appearance, he looks every inch the fighter, yet he admits that he could probably stand no more than three rounds against some of the youngsters whom he trains. But when “Lena” was in his hey- day, there wasn't a cleverer boxer in the game. His bouts with such masters as Joe Gans and S8am Lang- ford, were masterpieces.

Bryan- 'OR the time being Mrs. Ruth Mar- tinez has the upper hand over her tennis foe. Frances Walker. In {the singles final of the Women's Dis- trict League tourney yesterday Mrs. Martinez conquered Miss Walker, 6—4, 6—2. The win gave Mrs. Martinez an edge over her rival of 6 to 5 in recent meetings. It also was the second straight vic- tory this season in tourney play for Mrs. Martinez over Miss Walker, the former having triumphed by the same score in the semi-finals of the recent City of Washington event. Once again it was superior steadiness | in the back court that carried Mrs. Martinez to victory. Miss Walker loomed as the winner of the first set, but, with a game lead of 5 to 3 almost assured, Mrs. Martinez rallied and thereafter help the whip hand. Mrs. Martinez and Miss Walker later teamed to down Betsy Tottem and Louise Chinn, 6—2. 6—2, to reach the semi-finals in' the doubles. Mrs. Stone and Abbie Sard will meet Mary Ryan and Helen Philpitt in the sogui-finals, the only match of the tourney scheduled today, at 5 o'clock at Columbia, NET LIST CLOSES TODAY Strong combinations from Baltimore, Norfolk and Richmond are expected to | be in line tomorrow when entries close for the Middle Atlantic tennis double champlonships, which open Thursday at the Columbia Country Club.

Two Finns Lower Records of Nurmi ELSINGFORS, Finland, June 20 (P).—Lauri Lehtinen, 23-year- old Finnish distancs ace, bet- tered Paavo Nurmi's world records for 5,000 meters and 3 miles in the Olympic trials here today. Lehtinen, chief hope of Finland each was declared a draw, two 15 and one 10. When one realizes what a tremendous hitter Langford was, he can readily gauge the ability of Blackburn. At his best, “Lena” never weighed more than 140 pounds, yet he never raised any objections to fighting_men 15 pounds heavier. The Blackburn of today hasn't much of God's , but he has his health and enjoys his work as physical culture instructor to Chi- ° (Copyrieht, 19323 for the 5,000 and 10,000 meter championship at Los Angeles this Summer, was clocked in 14 min- utes 16.9 seconds for the 5,000 meters, compared with Nurmi's listed mark of 14:28.2 set in 1924. At 3 miles Lehtinen was timed in 13:50.6, compared with Nurmi's outdoor record of 14:11.2, set in 1923. V. Iso-Hollo, another Finnish hope, ran zecond to Lehtinen and was caught in 14:183 for 5,000 meters, also well under the record. | | | Bty A BUNCHA 6E0LDEN- ROD, B8ic BOY? FI'Ty CENTS MR.

Time should be taken between shots for analysis of what the player is -doing in swing. If the player is easy and de- liberate, he will find out how to cor- rect his faults. Charlie Herndon, a very fine golf analyst, offers the theory that the best way to practice is to take a few balls and go out alone to play the PRACTICE ON COURSE | ™\ course. This means that there will be no favored lines, and the player will meet with every sort of play the game provides. To adc interest, play three or four balls of different makes, or number, score one against another, and make a game of it. Bobby Jones is a consistent win- ner because he is a consistent putter.

'| FISHING By Ed Decke: Plug Casting Rod. JROBABLY the most universally used bait casting rod in exist- ence today is one of 5 feet 6 inches in length made either of steel or_bamboo. ‘Whether one purchases the steel or bamboo, if he sticks to a rod manufactured by one of the reliable tackle houses, he cannot go wrong. Bamboo rods comes in onme, two | and three pieces. The one-piece rod is the ideal, with the two-piece constructed with long one-piece fit- ting into the butt a close second. These two rods have not only splen- did balance and evenness of bend, | but also the virtue of the fewest possible number of ferrules (the danger or breaking point in all rods). In selecting a steel bait casting rod it is doubly important that you buy one of the well known and ad- | | i vertised “standard brand” rods. Steel rods come in the saber or solid type and the hollow ones. Get your sporting goods dealer to show you both bamboo and steel rods before purchasing. Whip both in your hands, have them rigged up with reel and a plug, as that is the only possible way you can tell how the rod will act in use. The experienced fisherman, when- ever he can afford it, carries a spare rod. This is a smart idea, as should your rod break or otherwise be dis- abled just when the fishing is’ best you will still be able to enjoy it. ‘What are your fishing or camping problems?

Running b; ‘THLETICS broke the Nationals' straight-win streak at 17 when they scored a 2-1 victory in 10 innings yesterday in the Quaker City. Tom Hughes for the Nationals and Jack Coombs for Philadelphia put on a great pitching duel. Washing- ton then lost the second game of the double-header in 4-3 battling as Chief Bender for the winners and Barney Pelty for the Nationals both pitched well. Frank Baker was largely responsi- ble for both the A's wins. He socked a homer in the ninth inning of the first game to tie the score, and in the second got three hits that count- ed heavily. Philadelphia’s run in the tenth inning of the first game that broke the Washington streak came when Barry reached first after McBride made a great stop of his grounder over the bag but threw poorly, and Lapp doubled. The Washington players thought Barry was out at home, but the umpire ruled other- wise. More than 800 playground and elementary school boys of the Dis- trict are competing in athletic events today on the horse show grounds. John Luitich has been named maneger of the Aloysius Club base ball team to succeed Maurice O'Con- nor.
