ROWING ON SARATOGA LAKE.
The "chippy" Grew From New York Wi
the Senior Fights.

The "Chippy" Crew From New York Win
the Senior Fights.
Yesterday was oppressively hot ct Saratoga.
Many spectators witnessed the final heats in
the national regatta on the lake in the after
noon, more in fact than Jaw the pre- liminary
races of Tuesday. At O'Clock . wind sprang
up from the south and made q choppy sea. Ref
cree Siu,son, however, was satisfied that the
water was sufficiently smooth for racing, and
called out the senior single scullers, who were
follows:
Edwin Hedley Of Philadelp hia, John j. Ryan
OF Toronto, John J. Berman Of Cambridge. F.
II. Thompson OF Toronto. VIM. Gallery Of Bos-
ton, Fred Hawkins Of New York and C. E. Bull
ger Of Albany. Ryan, who last week won the
championship Of Canada, crossed the line first
in 1924, followed by Hedley, 1885. The other
scullers came in as follows CaHrey, Hawkins
Bergman. Bulger and Thompson.
In the Junior singles were James Coughlin Of
Brooklyn and W. T. Cady Of New York, H. T.
seaton Of Newark, H. G. Blackinton of Proyi-
dence. James Hurley Of Toronto, Peter Leila
ney OF Albany and A. W. Bensy Of Pawtucket
Lehaney won in I1.25, Cady second In I1.40
Huneker and Hecht Of the Jonas, Philadel-
phia; Cady and Delaney of the Nonpareils,
New York; the Lane brothers Of the Atalanas.
New York, and Standish and Lyon Of Detroit
contested in the pair-oared race. The Detroits
collided with the Nonpareils, knocking a hole in
their bow and compelling Cady and Delaney to
take refuge in the judges craft. Standish and
Lyon won in 1913; Iona second in 10. IS, and
Atalanta about q length behind.
The double scull race brought out Park and
Hedley Of Philadelphia. Quinn and Freith Of
Brooklyn, Henderson and Case Of Chicago and
the O'Donoghues Of Sewburg. The finish line
was crossed thus: Park and Hedley, $50; Quinn
and Freith. 9.H.
Everybody looked for wretched steering by
the junior four and there was no disappoint-
ment. Crews were entered by the following
clubs: Institute, Newark; Ariel, Baltimore;
Astoria, New York. and Atlanta, New York.
The Ariels won easily in $40. Astoria shell
sank within short distance from the finish
from injuries received in the collision at the
turn.
Much interest wss conferred in the senior four
cared race, in which we're entered the Fair
mounts Of Philadelphia, tho Wyandottes of
Michigan, the Arsonauts of Toronto, the Alta
lantas of New York, the Modocs of st. Louis
and the Wolverines of Detroit. The Modocs
and Wyandottes made dead heat of it in 4O3
The Argonauts and Atalanta crews foulsd close
to the finish. Fuirmount fifth and Wolverine
last
II was growing late in the afternoon, but
the referee decided to send of the Junior and
senior Fights. In the former the Everetts Of
Boston and the Dauntless of New York were en-
tered. The crews were inferior, Massachu-
setts, however, outrowing their opponents
Time-Everetts. 9051%; Dauntless, al.
The most exciting event Of the day was re-
served for the last, the eight-oared race. The
Athletics Of New York, known as the "CLip-
pies;' the Mauhattans of New York and the
Maltas of Boston rowed. The Chippies were
too fast for their opponents and amid the
cheers Of the spectators and the whistles Of the
steam craft they crossed the line victors IN Z So
with lead Of not over fifty feet. The referee
announces that the senior four cared dead heat
and the pair-oared race will be rowed today.
1t was day of record smashing and boat
smashing yesterday and it was a day that proved
that the system of having races with a turn
must be abolished. There was no less than four
bad fouls and eleven oarsraen struggling in the
water at different times. In addition to this
