A—15 Thrill Lingers After California’s Great Triumph in Poughkeepsie Classic CORNELL ROOTERS REAEE T0D SOON Officials Debate Before De- ciding Winner—Navy s Close Fourth. BY EDWARD J, NEIL, Associated Press Sports Writer. OUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., June 19. —Over the roistering Hudson today there cdme a calm, the let-down after as fierce a row- ing duel as the river ever has seen— California’s split-second triumph over Cornell in the 4-mile varsity climax of the thirty-seventh intercollegiate Poughkeepsie regatta. The scant crowd that braved driv- {ng rains and chilling northeast winds was well dried out, but still it tingled, from neither the cold nor the wet. It shivered again as it will shiver many another time in memory of those two great eights, battling down the river on the breast of a rolling tide, hammering across the finish line in the purple murk of the evening so close that only the officials far cut in the river, after many minutes of de- bate, were able to give them their places. As great as was the victory for Cali- fornia’s Golden Bears, climaxing the first all-Western sweep in the history of the regatta, just so heavy was the disappointment and chagrin of the burly boys from far above Cayuga's waters. Huskies Rule Freshmen. WHILE California, mighty machine stroked by young Gene Berken- kamp, had been the prerace favorite, riding a steadily mounting tradition of conquering oarsmanship that goes back through victory in the last two Olympic games, Cornell was something of an underdog. There was nothing in the two pre- liminary races, held under fair water conditions, but in weather so nasty| that it robbed all the usual color from a crowd of scarcely 20,000, to indicate that the East had any chance to stop the Western invasion that gets stronger and stronger each year. The Huskies of Washington, for the second successive year, made a show of the five-crew freshman field, wal- loping California by a length and a half, with Navy third by another length. They distanced Columbia and Syracuse, fourth and fifth, respectively, winning in 10 minutes 20 seconds. It was even more pronounced in the four-crew junior varsity dash through 3 miles, where the same Washing- ton crew that won as freshmen in 1934 trounced Navy by three lengths, with Cornell and Syracuse in that order several more lengths behind. The | Huskies' time was 14:584%. The river was as flat as a lake, the tide flowing strong downstream, the hage of a stormy twilight thick as fog, when the battered East mustered the last of its forces in the bend of Krum Elbow for the torturing haul past the Roosevelt home at Hyde Park, under the railroad bridge at the 3-mile mark, to the finish across from town. Fight for 3 Miles. FOR 3 miles it was anybody's contest, with Syracuse battling with California and the great Wash- ington eight. Cornell always was close. Navy wasn't to be shaken off. Only the light, swift sprint crew of Pennsylvania and the smooth but punchless eight of Columbia failed to threaten. The final burst to the finish line ‘was as breathless a thing as the river ever has seen. From the shore, far up on a hill in a line with the finish, it looked as if the big red shell from Ithaca had made 1t by perhaps half a length. It looked | as if the lion hearts in that Cornell shell had nipped California by a little less than the margin that separated ‘Washington in third place and Navy in fourth. The crowd on the shore thought so, howling in glee. The Cornell crew apped each other on the backs. But the crowd on the observation train thought California won, and the judges came cut of a hudgle to an-! nounce their decision. Once more California was lord of the river, with Cornell officially second by part of a boat deck length, three-fifths of a second. The other placings put Syracuse History Is Given Of Crew Classic ‘Winner. ’Efiz. 19:07 20:34 15:15% 20:04 10:44% 18:83Ys 19:05% 18:57 20:22% 20:20%5 19:364% 20:20% 19:34% 19:02 20:43% 20:104% 19:31% 19:28% 19:374% 19:36% 20:15% 11:02% 14:07 13:33% 14:08% 15:02 19:24% 19:28% 20:57 18:3545 22:58 21:42 18:54%5 19:55 10:44 .California 18:52 | _ aThree Seratora Lake, = bTw | g Lake. cDistance shortene Three-mile record. eRe. tles. fFour-mile recor BRITISH POLO FOUR ENTERS U.

BALL CLUB does not have to bother much about hitting when its cause generously it furthered by an erratic oppo- sition. A demonstration of this was seen in yesterday's Federal League game, when Government Printing Of- fice Paramounts trimmed Interstate Commerce Commission, 6 to 3. Paramounts were outbatted, nine safeties to four, but the Interstate outfit kicked in with seven misplays. Thirteen evidently is no unlucky number to Mount Vernon's nine in the Washington Church League. It used that many players to drub Ninth Street Christian, 9 to 6. Plumb, first- basing for the victors, held a hot hand at bat. In three efforts he walloped & triple, double and single. ‘With Hayes holding Premier Cab to eight well-spread hits, Chesapeake & Potomac romped to a 12-to-3 win in the National Capital League. The Pole Gang clinched the game with a six-run second inning. Love, hitting safely four times in as many times at bat, led the Agriculture attack that overcame Public Works, 8 to 4, in the Departmental League. Britts was the only one of the losers to make as many as two hits. In the Industrial League the Brew- ers’ big horses ran roughshod over Washington Coal. At the finish Heu- richs was ahead, 12 to 5. Treasury put on & four-run final frame to take the measure of D. C. Re- pair Shop, 9 to 5, in the Government League. Scoreless for three innings, Ac- counts and Audit rallied bravely, but a healthy early lead got Securities an 8-to-5 victory in the Public Debt League. —_—— ARNOLD TOPS SHOOTERS Scores 193 in 200-Yard Event of National Capital Club. Tom Arnold took first place and gold medal with a 193 out of a pos- sible 200 in the annual 200-yard small bore rifle match of the National Capi- tal Rifle Club on the range at Camp Frank Parson, with 191, took second place and silver medal, while Dr. W. R. Stokes garnered third place honors with 187. Roger Scott hit enough bulls eyes to score 273 of a possible 300 to win the Spring revolver match. Plans are now under way by the club to hold a three- range match at Camp Simms on Sun- day, June 30. Yesterday's results: Slow. Time.

And in less | &9 time than it would take you to walk around the Reservoir, they had dead- locked the set and the match by win- ning the next two games. But Adair and Owens weren't ready to say quit and they went ahead on their service for a 5—4 lead. Show Title Caliber. ERE Johnsen exhibited the stuff of which champlons are made by not only playing inspired tennis, but spurring on his teammate. They took three games in & row and with it the passport to the semi-finals. They have just as stiff a workout ahead of them today, for they are down to play Harry March and Chan- ning, two of the “bigger” juniors. March and Channing had nothing more than a warm-up yesterday in dispensing with Landsmay and Mintz, 6—2, 6—0. They'll tower over the pigmies, Johnsen and Dorst, like the Monument does over the Reflecting Pool. The other semi-final match of the doubles should not only prove more evenly contested, but extremely inter- esting, inasmuch as two families will be pitted against each other. The Ritzenberg brothers, the seeded No. 1 team of the doubles tourney, are slated to face another pair of brothers, John and Mac Hatch, who composed Western High's No. 1 doubles team during the past season. The Ritzenbergs had quite s lengthy time of it yesterday before they elimi- nated Turner and Thompson, 6—4, 12—10; while Hatch and Hatch hur- ried through a 6—1, 6—3 victory over Mullinix and Ogus. Women Play Well. ND now about the women, who are so copying the men that only |one of the contestants yesterday was attired in the former regulation skirt and blouse. The other seven romped about in shorts. Some one must have slipped up on the seedings in this tourney, for what should by all logic have been the final, bringing together the two best players, will be played today. If dope runs true to form the title matches will prove an anti-climax. Anyway, Clara Tabler, seeded No. 1, will meet Sarah Moore, probably the second best player. For some unknown reason® Reba Kirson, the only other seeded player, dropped out of the tournament before she had played a match and the officials failed to seed either her successor or any of the other falr ones. Yesterday, Sarah had an unex- pected easy time when she disposed of Margot Lee, with the loss of but one game. Miss Lee, who only the day before, had eliminated one of the favorites, Bobsy Turney, was far off her game. This is taking no credit from Miss Moore, who dispensed pow- erful drives and strong serves. Her opponent today, Clara Tabler, had almost as equally an easy time, dropping but one more game. She defeated Eleanor Craven, 6—1, 6—2. In addition to the Tabler-Moore semi-final match, two quarter-final matches will be played. Frances Carter will face Betty Hub- bell and Dorette Miller will play against Mary Ryan. The winners will play tomorrow for the right to com-~ pete as & fNnalist, Six Teams in Doubles. JENTRIES for the women's doubles tournament closed last night and Felix Silva found that six teams were entered. For a time he almost had decided not to seed any of the teams, but upon second thought called the duo of Mrs. Prances Walker Bassett and Mrs. Nathan Wyeth the No. 1 team and rated Bobsy Turney and Margot Lee, No. 2. Other teams entered are: Dorothy Kingsbury and Mrs, Cecil Raver, Dorette Miller and Sarah Moore, Mary Ryan and Anne Ellis and Betty Kronman and Eleanor Craven.

ONDON, June 19—The Tour- nament Committee for the ‘Wimbledon teanis champion- ships, opening next Monday, sprang & surprise today by seeding Baron Gottfried von Cramm of Ger- many No. 2 in thé men's singles behind the defending champion, Fred Perry of England. Von Cramm’s high position in the draw reflected his consistent play both this year and last. Jack Crawford of Australia was seeded No. 3, followed by H. W. (Bunny) Austin of England, Wilmer Allison of Austin, Tex.; Sidney Wpod of New York, Roderich Menzel of Ozechoslovakia and Christian Bous- sus of France, in that order. Germany also gained second posi- tion in the seeding for women's sin- gles. Hilda Krahwinkel Sperling, who recently won the French title after defeating Helen Jacobs, the American title hold"~. in the semi-finals, was rated just bchind Dorothy Round, the English star and defending champion. Two Helens 3 and 4. Mlss JACOBS was seeded No. 3, followed, in order, by Helen Wills Moody, former world title- holder, who is attempting a comeback; Mme. Rene Mathieu of France, Kath- erine Stammers of England, Margaret Scriven of England and Joan Harti- gan of Australia. Allison and John Van Ryn of East Orange, N. J, twice winners of the doubles title, were top seeded in that division, followed by Crawford and Adrian Quist, Jean Borotra and Jacques Brugnon and Donald Budge and Gene Mako, the youthful Ameri- can combination. Dorothy Andrus of Stamford, Conn., | topped the draw in the women'’s dou- | bles fleld, with Mme. Mathieu and | PFrau Sperling, No. 2; Miss Stammers and Freda James, No. 3, and Elsle Goldsack Pittman and Adeline Yorke, No. 4. For mixed doubles Von Cramm and Prau Sperling were top seeded, fol- lowed by Martin Legeay of France and Mme. Henrotin, Perry and Miss Round and Allison and Miss Jacobs.

TRIBE TO PROVIDE GAUGE ON BATTING (Continued From Fourteenth Page.) was the game in which Buck New- som's knee was fractured by Eari Averill's vicious drive. Manush’s Return May Help. FOR the four-game Cleveland set that was to open today with a double-header, the Nationals were to enter the series bolstered by the re- turn to left field of Heinie Manush, recovered from an injury suffered in a Chicago game. Johnny Stone moves back to right field and Fred Schulte again graces the bench. Papa Jack Russell, who passed oub the cigars Monday following news of the birth of a 5-pound boy to Mrs. Russell in Washington, was to be the first of the National heavers to face the Tribe. Earl Whitehill was to share the twin-bill assignment and they will be opposed, in all probability, by Monte Pearson and Walter Stewart, the ex- National. Whitehill, badly beaten in his last two starts, has been one of the two Capital flingers to whip the Indians this season. Bump Hadley was the other. Pearson and Stewart are the two Cleveland hurlers who were beaten this season by the Griffs. It's COOL in the POOL At the oy 18th & G Sts.
