AMERICA BOUND TO
WIN REGATTA FINALS
Double Victory In Semi-Finals
Makes Win Certain for Tomorrow.
HARVARD EIGHT VICTORIOUS
Union Boat Club Shell Defeats
German Crew in a Desper
ate Race.
HEXLEY. England. July 3. Victory
for two American crews in the semi
finals of the Grand Challenge cup. the
world's blue ribbon for rowing, made it
certain today that English sportsmen
would see a regular "Boston tea party"
on the Thames tomorrow when the final
of the big race is rowed.
Harvard's second eight won the first
race today in "the semi-finals, defeating
the speedy Winnipeg crew by a bare
three-quarters of a length in the re
markable time of seven minutes flat.
The record for the course is 6:58.
The second victory for American
oarsmen came when the eight of the
Union Boat Club, of Boston, met a Ger
man crew. The race was also a des
perate one.
Americans, who were present In hun
dreds at the riverside, went into spasms
of "Joy when the two Yankee boats
came in ahead. They bet heavily before
the races and "cleaned up."
MANY WOMEN WILL
SEE BIG CONTEST
Fair Sex Plan to Watch Ritchie
and Welsh Meet for World's
Lightweight Title.
LONDON. July 3. When Willie
Ritchie and Freddie Welsh meet here
next Tuesday night to battle for the
world's lightweight championship in
the great arena at Olympia fully 1,500
women are expected to see the pair
punch and Jab. More than 1,000 had
bought seats for the mill today, and the
demand was "fetlll active.
Ritchie, training at Brighton today,
got a stlrf rebuke from Emll Thiry, his
manager, because the Califomian in
sisted on what Thiry thought was too"
much sea bathing. Ritchie, however,
simply laughed at his manager's fears
that the salt water would weaken him.

It is now high time this upset
stuff was reaching its finish. There
is a limit to everything, and when
Bombardier Wells found a bloke he
could knock out in two rounds the
tide is about due for a shift.
Close To a Record.
"Did this ever happen before in
baseball?" postcards a fanatic from
Birmingham, Ala. "On Tuesday
Chattanooga was in fifth place and
Atlanta leading in the Southern
League battle. By Wednesday night
Chattanooga was leading and At
lanta was In fourth place. Did one
club ever jump from the second
division to first place in a single
day before?"
Not that we remember. But the
incident is easily explained. This
is a great year for jumping records
among the sons of swat.
The Ultimate Victor.
"Jn the end," asks F. Lu K., "who will
win these court battles, the Feds or
organized baseball?"
There isn't a chance for tiut one win
ner, and that is the list of enterprising
attorneys charging back and1 forth.
Organized baseball and the Feds will
likely be tied for third and fourth places.
These Mackmen appear easy enough
to beat when they're well out in front.
But once some rival draws within punch
ing distance the situation suddenly
changes. They are no harder to beat
then than a battleship or a standing
army.
WHO IS GOING TO PLAY THE PART OF JONAH?
A DIFFERENCE
Here are two recorda of a pitcher
you've all heard about:
Won. Lost. Pet.
1913 1 5 .200
1914 9 1 .900
The 1913 record was made while
the pitcher waa kept warming
the bench or hurling to bats
men in practice. In a whole
season this pitcher was seen in
twenty-three games, sometimes
lasting a whole inning.
The 1914 record is the work of
this same fellow'whcn, given a
chance to pitch in his turn. His
club in 1913 is miles ahead of
the 1914 outfit in playing
strength.
The 1913 club' is the Griffmen. The
1914 club is the Kansas City
American Association team.
I The pitcher is Bert Gallia.
AVTien Walter Johnson drops eight
games before the Fourth of July you can
figure that all upset records are smeared
to a finish. He rarely ever dropped this
many in the first half back in the days
when the Senatorial line-up was three
fourths cheese and one-fourth sponge,
with a dash of prune tossed in for full
measure. In spite of which there are
still one or two 'managers who would be
willing to make a place for him upon
their payroll at a modest stipend up to
about J15.000 or $25,000 a year.

CINCINNATI. July 3. Johnny Kil

ten rounds bre last night with "Knock

given, but tr.o champion had the better
of most of the rounds. Kilbane was
cautious in the first three rounds and
Mars was aggressive. In the next two
rounds Kllnane forced the fighting and
took a commanding lead. In the last
five rounds Mars continually went into
clinches and hung on t Kilbane, so that
the latter was unable to land a decisive
blow. The newspaper and popular ver
dict awardea the fight to Kilbane.

FIFTY-TWO RUNNERS TO

American Courses.
Jerry Travers agrees with Harry Var
don anent the trapping and bunkering
of American golf courses. "We'll never
have a chance to compete upon even
terms with the English." e says, "until
our courses are arranged to develop
one's game. This is especially true of
wooden club play. Over in England
and Scotland you have to use wood
from the tee, and you have to play
straight. Over here you can slap the
ball any old way or use an iron without
trouble. They are always up against
a championship test and we are not.
Thev have to use the wood, and use It
properly, and we don't. Abroad each
drive has to be placed, not merely slap
ped somewhere out Into a fairway 100
yards across. Some day we'll come to
the proper Idea of trapping our courses,
and until we do golf development will
be just that far backward.
After finishing with Moran, Jack
Johnson should take on Carl Morris
next, and after Mon-ls there is still Al
Palzer and Rodel the Boer. Moran isn t
the only prune in the heavyweight or
chard. The picking is still fairly soft.
If a hurricane should come along and
blow the club standings upside down the
Yanks and Naps would be embroiled In
a conflict second only to the third Punic
war. The only detail lacking is the
hurricane.
