About one hundred sporting men Of New
| York visited quiet resort Friday alter
noon within twenty-five miles Of the city
to see fight to finish between "Iommy"
Barnes and "Joen Hopkins, the colored
l25,pound pugiist. The colored fighter
was so anxious to 'do" his man quick ly
that he resorted to foul tactics, although
repeatedly warned by the referee. In the
third round Hopkins became 80 excited
that he hlp-locked Barnes and threw him.
1t was very light fall and did not hurt
Barnes in the least, bat 1t was foul, and
the referee gave the fight to Barnes.
Edward Henry Feunessy has been chosen
captain of the Harvard Varsity crew for
next year. lie is member Of the class Of
1916 and lives in Boston. He prepared for
college at st. Paul's school, where he rowed
on the same eight with Townsend, of the
Harvard varsity, and Hickok and McCrea,
the Yale foot ball giants. 1t is rarely that
any one but but q senior is chosen to cap
tain a crew team, but Fennessy is the only
member Of this years crew who can be
counted ON with certainty to row next sea-
son. He is said to be the finest oarsman
in any of the colleges He stroksd the
university year ago, and this year was
moved to No. Z. 1t is highly probable that
he will be put back at stroke next season.
