Less than a mile from the fin- ish, when the Husky Babes were about four lengths ahead of the Californians, the big can drift- e4@ directly into the path of the Purple and Gold crew. The can was noticed by spectators in boats, but too tate to clear it from the path. As it was directly fp Mine with the oarsmen ahead, Coswain Blethen of the frosh did not seo ‘it The can was hit with a Slancing blow, and fortunately no damage was done. If it had been hit head on, !t Probably would have torn a hole in the shell, the boat would have filled with water and it !s con- sidered doubtful if the Washing- ton frosh would have been able to cross the line.

Both of these races will be held in June, about a week apart. There ts & possibility that Washington may send three crews East. One varnity eight would compete in the Olympic tryouts, while another varsity and a frosh crew’ would race at Pough- keepasie. This latter suggestion de pends on the response given by Washington people to the forthcom. ing drive for funds to send the oars men East, Coach Callow was not particularly enthused over the showing of his varsity oarsmen against California Saturday, “They did no better than they have in practice,” he sald, “but, of course, they were pA tmshl to ex tend themselves, ‘The men were in good condition. I had hoped for stronger competition from California, but Ebright and Nagler faced a dif ficult task im attempting to revoiu tionize rowing at Berkeley in short a time. “What pleased me most Saturday was the showing made by the frosh The lake was pretty choppy when they raced, but the first-year men came thru in fine style, I really did not expect such @ good race from them.” The coach declared that he felt that the big crowd that saw the| race was not given “it’s money's! worth.” so Jimmy Ring Philadelphia N, L.

When little Don Grant yelled “Way ‘nough,” after the fin- ish line had been crossed, Callfor- nia was some 10 lengths in the} wake, completely outclassed. Washington's win from the | varsity was characterized by the} use of the old 42 stroke, always} used by Husky crews during the| main. portion of any three-mile) race. Both crews got off to a fast start, with Washington slightly in| the lead. Cranmer, Bear astroke,| n up the count and pulled a little} ahead of the Huskies, but inside of| an eighth of a mile this early tead| had been overcome, From that] time on the Huskies pulled away, until at the finish line more than 10 lengths stood between the two crews. The time, 16 minutes 34 and 2-5 seconds, was not spectacular in view of the smooth water and the cool west wind blowing over the course, In practice last week, the Huskies made 16:42 over the three mile, California rowed in fairly good form but had no more power than an engine without spark plugs, The Washington freshmen ran away from their southern competi. tors, also by about seven lengths, The time in the frosh two-mile race was 11:542.5, The freshmen rowed a xplendid race, More than 10,000 Seattle persons saw the two big races which in- creased the fame of Washington rowing another hundred fold thruout the nation.

Author Craze BY BILLY EVANS BOUT 15 years ago a New York | newspaper syndicate conceived | the idea of having the star ball play-| ers, who were to take part in the| world series of that year, to lend [their names to baseball articles on the series. The syndicite signed most of the players up for a flat sum of money, | detailed a newspaper man to inter-| view the athletes after the game and} then turn out a signed article for them. ‘The feature got m big play. In a few c1 4 it stirred up considerable |trouble, when a writer would insert something into the story to give it a punch that stepped on some other athlete's toes, eee ‘The memory of the happenings of the 1011 world series is still fresh in the minds of most of the present day fans, R= MARQUARD and. Christy Mathewson were the star pitch: of the New York Giants in that series, which was waged with tho Philadelphia Athletics, These two players wore signed to write the series. In one of the games Rube Marquard put one where Frank Baker liked ‘em, and Baker responded with a home run that broke up the ball game.

Philadelphia at Washington, New York at Boston, New York Yankees are general | favorites thruout the country to re- peat for the fourth straight time in the American league. The New York Giants are slight baseball experts to cop again for th fourth time in the National teague race, figuring that some of the new young pitchers and the trade with Boston that plugged centerfield and added Joo Oeschger to the pitching staff might help. They also figure that Travis Jackson will replace Dave Bancroft all right at shortstop, Cincinnati and Pittsburg are also the choices of many eggsperts. The National league looks like & three-cornered race. In the American, Cleveland, the hardest hitting team in the majors, will be dangerous, as will be Detroit. NEW RECORD AT TIJUANA SAN DIEGO, Cal.

Recently tennis put a ban on the Bill Tilden player writer after 1925, and Vincent Richards, two of ow tennis starn, insist they will keep on writing and quit playing. The Olympic committee has placed an even more stringent rule on th athlete writer. as soon as the man is chosen for the Olympic team. Sinco Loren Murchison, Charley Paddock, and several other stars are doing newspaper work, the new rul may seriously affect the makeup of America’s team, if enforced.
