sTANsBURY DEFEATS M'LEAN FOR
THE sCULLING CHAMPIONSHIP

THE sCULLINa CHAMPIONSHIP
Homer and fearless Win Creditable Races
at the Bay District Races-"Syke"
Young Signs with the San Franciscos.
The latest happenings of the sporting
world will be found in this column.
Stansbury, by his victory over Mclean,
establishes himself as the undisputed
champion of the world. He is probably
the youngest worlds champion on rec
ord. Below will be found short rec
ord of this celebrated antipodean sculler.
The racing season is in full blast, and
a summary of the most important meet
ings appears below. Homer's win in
the one and one-quarter mile at San
Francisco in 2:0734 stamps him as a
great colt. BY the way, Jim Garland
has met with marked success as a
trainer during the blood horse meeting.
The victory of fearless was also very
creditable. This filly is a sister of Rain
drop, well known to Los Angeles race
goers.
If the track at Washington was fet-
lock deep, as reported by the telegraphic
report, then l. L'Intriguante who won the
five-eighths mile race in :01A, must be
an exceptionally speedy animal.
The baseball season is now in full
blast all over the land, except in Los
Angeles. The very latest of local inter-
est is the fact that "Syke" Young left
yesterday for San Francisco, where he
has been signed on probation to pitch
for the San Francisco club. He will
doubtless be given trial in Sundays
game. The California league players are
not such speedy batters that Young can
not make them watt the zephyrs if he
will only pitch the ball he is capable of
doing.
