The Giant crew of Stockton has had a
damper cast over its enthusiasm as to its
rowing ability. The oarsmen were living
In hopes of meeting the South Ends
crack senior crew on the 9th of Septem-
Der, but now that Macarthur, the crews
captain, has aspirations TO be star in the
pugilistic ornament and Bode, the bow
diets, and Dupllssen, the stroke, is paying
all his attention to the single scull, the
Stockton boys must rest on the laurels
they have won.
The South End Junior crew of the fol-
lowing personnel: Ed Tobin, bow and cap
tain; Matt Breen, forwardwaist; James
Pallas, afterwaist; Ed Scully. stroke; and
George McGrill, cockswain, will be on hand,
however, to try. the mettle of the Giant
crew.
The Pioneer Club has implicit faith in
It's crew winning the championship this
year. The boys have been rowing regu-
larry for some time back and are already
IN good trim. The personnel of the crew is
as follows: Fred Orr, bow and captain;
Coney Ochs, forwardwaist; George Col
iopy, afterwaist; John Clifford, stroke;
and George Fitzsimmons, cockswain.
The uisbandment of the South Ends
crack crew will be regretted by all Interested
In rowing matters. They were always the
favorites with the public in the different
regattas, where their magnificent stroke
was always favorably commented upon.
The personnel of the crew was as fol-
lows: Henry Bode, bow; Bob Macarthur,
forwardwaist and captain; Gus Carson,
afterwaist; Frank Duplissea, stroke, and
George Merrill, cockswain.
Henry Peterson, the champion oarsman
of the Pacific Coast, is anxious to take
Gaudaur's place and row Hanlan, who has
Just challenged the former for race at the
Vancouver regatta.
Peterson says that as Gaudaur is going
to England TO row Stanbury he cannot
see how Gaudaur can possibly row Hanlan
on September 1, the date set for the Van
couver regatta, consequently he is anxious
TO take Gaudaur's place and row Hanlan
for the $1,000 purse.
The Olympic Club team of athletes Just
returned from Portland is loud in it's praises
OF the boating facilities of the Portland
club and deem it advisable for the ad-
vancement of the sport here that the local
clubs take part in some of the Portland
regattas or offer inducements for the Port
land oarsmen to come down here and row,
which the latter are very anxious to do.
The boating annex of the Olympic Club
is reported as being In hourishing con-
dition, with forty-five members. two four
Dared working shells, a new four-oared
racing shell and mum Der of private boats.
The present officers of the annex are as
appended: Chairman. ]. McElroy; secre-
tary, K. Allison; captain, B. Macarthur;
directors, ]. t. McCarty and E. Sullivan.
Now that McCauslaId has been defeated
by Duplissea it is thought that his race
with Johnson, the northern sculler, will
be declared off. Duplissea states that he
f.l~@ A4N- Il n
Johnson, either at the Vancouver regatta
or on the bay here during the fiesta re-
gatta. It has been noised about that the
South End Club would defrav Johnson's
expenses if he would consent to row the
local man here during the carnival.
