The San Francisco call., 1896-08-08

: Club has five crackerjack oarsmen train
| ing for the senior outrigger skiff race OF
| the Stockton regatta. A tryout race will
soon be held, and the winners of first and
second places will row under the clubs
colors at Stockton.
| The men in training are Jack Lancaster,
captain of the yacht Edna; A. Webb, Fred
| Ayers, Samuel J. Pembroke, champion
outrigger skiff oarsman of the coast, and
DR.. Cecil Dennis.
| The club has also several men in train
| ing for the junior outrigger skiff race, but
| it is thought that Victor Hadcock, who
| rowed second in this event at Stockton on
last Fourth of July, will be the clubs Sc
! lection. For the four-oared barge race the
| following crew will be entered: Jack Lam
caster, stroke; A. Webb, afterwaist; Fred
| Ayers, forwardwaist, and Victor Had
cock bow and captain.
! The oarsmen will use the Stockton Ath-
letic Associations barge Jim Budd to row
| the race in, as the Alameda club has no
racing boats.
! The greatest number of entries in the
regatta will come from the South End
! Club of this City. 1t will have an entry
in every event on the programme. Two
/ new skiffs are now being built for the
! club by Iwlgg d Sons.
1t was confidently expected that tn 9
| Dolphins and Ariels would drop in line
with the South Ends and make an entry
in every race, as these clubs, unlike some
| of the other clubs, have plenty OF boats; |;
but it now looks as if they have already
got "cold feet" for the only entry from
! the Dolphin Club will be w. o. Patch in
the junior outrigger skiff race.
/ The Ariels held meeting last Monday
night and tried hard to get some barge
crews together, but their efforts were fu-
tile. They will be strongly represented in
| the single scull and outrigger events, how
ever, and the club still has hopes of organ
| izing junior and intermediate four-oared
! crew to row at Stockton.
/ William McCausand will be their repre-
sentative in the senior single scull. N. j..
Prendergast will row in the junior single
scull race, and Jim Wilson, George Phelan
| and Bob Ellis will have q try-out to see
who rows in the senior outrigger event.
/ J. R. Bockmann, Andy Carroll, n. J..
| Prendergast and A. Raconleigh will also
| have try-out to settle the question of SUI
premacy in the junior outrigger event for
| the Stockton regatta.
The Pioneers are going TO make them
selves known at Stockton on September 8,
and will be in the field with two strong
crews and two crack skiff rowers. If the
! junior crew win their race they will enter
for the intermediate contest.
The personnel of the two crews Is as fol-
lows: Junior j. Hanley, stroke; F..
! Torths, afterwaist; Tom Faulkner, for
wardwaist; W. st. John, bow, and George

/, championship OF Baltimore harbor two
years ago, will be the Pioneers representa-
tive in the senior outrigger event. and
