The Philadelphia police have given tho
various athletic clubs an intimation that
boxing bouts had been carried to extremes
lately and that greater vigilance would ne
exercised in the future. In consequence
OF this and other rumors, the managers OF
the different clubs met and decided to shut

stopped three years ago, and II is only
within the past year that il has been per.
mitted to go on.

ENGLISH VS.. AMERICAN.
Wallace Ross Compares the Two
Styles Of Rowing.

SsysCS vs. ASO"h"Ss
Wallace Ross. the well-known profess
sional sculler and eX-champion of Eng
land. in commenting on the showing
made by the Yale crew, says: You
know as we'll as do that the talk about
English oarsmen knowing more about
rowing than they do in America Is
silly.
Years ago We rOwed the narrow
blades and long oars, and discarded the
English style of rowing. with the seats
paired. In order to get greater leverage.
Il will tell you the reason the Eng
lishmen defeat American crews at Hem
ley. and that is so apparent that almost
anybody should be able to explain it the
instant they look at the names of the
men that makes up the Leander crew.
1.-THE Leanders are picked men, who
have made big names in varsity crews
or have sculled themselves TO fame in
English regattas.
Look at the Nickalls and Hollands.
all finished scullers. who have rOwed
for years and will compare favorably
with many professionals in experience
in SOULS and crew boats.
1T is not necessary to go across to
get speedy crew, for pick eight Of our
best men in this country and set them
at it for a sprint Of mile and quar-
ter under a good coach. and they will
make the boat jump faster than the
college crews.
Form Is all right in its place. but
when you are In for dash Of that
distance YOU must row naturally and
IT, ....t
be able to keep hammering away for
the full distance.
When you See a contest between the
college crews of both countries in neu-
trail waters you will be able to decide
which stroke is the more effective and
not until then.
"No professionals know the correct
style and the Leanders row as nearly
like professionals as any amateur crew
that ever sat in boat"
