4 CALL reporter on visit to the boat
houses yesterday found their front doors
wide open, aud the fraternity busily en-
gagged making pre- partitions for the Native
Sons regatta From early in the forenoon
until late in the afternoon the Long Bridge
course was pretty well crowded with scull-
ers in their light racing craft, every club
being well represented.
The newly organized crew of the Ariels
was the first TO show up. The four are.
Louis Oser, Tom Tennison and Charley
and Henry Peterson, who have been doing
lots of work in their boat. For the short
time they have been together they show re-
markabiy line form, pulling strong and
steady to man, and with free, easy
sweep.
The South Ends four, with Dan Dough-
erty in charge, were out, as was the same
clubs amateur crew, under the care OF Bob
McCoId.
c. Antiques of the Tritons is entered for
the amateur single SOULS and is working
mighty hard Tor the event. With such
opponent as Stokes of the Pioneers
the Triton man Will have to do some pretty
fast scuiling TO cross the winningline first.
The entries for the rowing race will close
on September LIST. The course decided upon
~ kuC CbABEiltlet 10 Lit uldl ILUI5 DElu5t
course, from the foot Of Channel street to
buoy of the Union Iron Works and return.
Billy GrOwney is coaching young Creagh,
who is entered in the amateur single souls.
Growney thinks he has wonder in the
pluclIy young 6aTsman and predicts that he
VIII make the pace very hot Tor some OF the
veterans.
The Alameda Club has not yet sent in
its list OF entries, Dreferrlng to wait until
the last day IN order to see just what its
much talked-of four are capable Of doing
before showing up in public.
1t Is understood that Peterson has hand
ed TO the Regatta Committee list of the
time allowances which he is willing to con-
cede his opponents. Henceman, tue Stock
ton sculler, will be compelled to start from
the scratch while the others are allowed all
the way from 80 seconds to minutes.
Pete Mcdonnell says the Pioneers do
very little talking but you can count on
them being in it when the races start.
What about the ships boat-race? 1t
should not be allowed to fall through, as
several years ago the vessels in the harbor
had most spirited contest between their
tayorite boats. manned by men selected
from among the ships crews. The event
drew an unusually large crowd Of specta-
tors, and the entries were numerous and the
race was voted by those who witnessed it
the most exciting that had ever taken place
on the bay.
John Sullivan and NJ. Stokes engaged in
a discussion the other day about their reia-
tive merits as oarsmen, and the upshot of
the controversy was challenge from Sulli-
van to row Stokes over any distance course
for $50, box OF cigars or for fun. Stokes
made no reply, but stated afterward that he
would just so the ex-Supervisor heat some
day. Probably the ex-champion Of the Lif-
fey is watching for chance to catch Sulli-
van out of form. John, hewever, is not
very likely to be caught off by the .Jackeen.
Pfeiffer and Schumacher Of the Alameda
Club have formed crew in themselves and
will most likely be heard from in double
scull racing before the season closes.
Stokes of the Pioneers said yesterday aft
erno0n that he had decided to nave 20 in
the professional as well as the amateur sin
gle souls.
