SARATOGA, N. Y, Aug 19.-The
closing day of the annual regatta of
the National Association Of Amateur
Oarsmen witnessed the breaking Of
one record and several were nearly
reached The first was decidedly sur
prising in it's results. AS the first and
second men in yesterdays singles,
Bush Thompson, Joe" WHITEHEAD, j.
B. Juvenat and Fred Cresser came to
the starting line. The start was long
delayed by the manoeuvring of White
head and when the shot was fired his
blades We're the first to cut the water
At the half he was maintaining a
slight Lead, rowing in Thompson's
course, giving him his wash. He round
ed his stake with Thompson a close
second; Juvenat third and Cresser a
slow fourth At the mile and quarter,
Cresser stopped rowing and Whitehead
was again giving Thompson his wash.
Whitehead crossed the line half a
length ahead of the Toronto crack with
Juvenat third. Time, first 1911; second,
1921. At the close of the race Thomp-
son entered a protest saying White
head had fouled him. The referee was
not willing to call it a foul, but ordered
the race to be re-rowed Whitehead
refused and when pressure was brought
to bear the referee reversed his deci-
sion
Edward M Teneyck, Of the Wachu-
sets Boat club, Worcester, Mass, es-
tablfshed a record in the intermediate
single souls, the second heat of the
day. He made the mile and a half,
without the turn, in 9:59 or 1h better
than the time made by Jury in 1895.
No prettier sight could be imagined
than when the Baltimore A. G. eight,
R1tzler stroke, Whitehead coxswain
and the New York Athletics, Seaman,
stroke and Smythe coxswain contested.
When the start was made both crews
pulled off at 33 to the minute At the
half the Marylanders had increased to
80 and were still in the lead The
Baltlmore's won amid cheering,
whistles and ringing of bells. Time,
first 1881; second 7:521a.
The fourth event of the day, the
senior doubles had but three starters,
New York Athletics, the Pennsylvania
Barge club, and the Toronto r. c. At
the start Of the squirt for home the
Athletics increased their lead and eros
sed the line first in 9:10% with Torontos
second in 9:251a, and the Barge club a
close third
The Winnipeg four will go to Eng
land for the Henley next summer for
they were easy winners in the great
event of the day, the international
four-oared. The race was mile and
half straightaway and was well filed
having five starters. The Riversides,
Of Cambridge, Sullivan stroke, had the
west bank, flanked by the Wfnnipegs,
Marks stroke, the Staten Island S.
c., Wolf stroke; the Institute b. c., of
Newark, Locknier stroke, and the De-
troits, Warner stroke The start was
made at SIS and the men pulled off
in a bunch. The Riversides had a
slight lead and pulled over into the
Winnipegs' course. The latter increas-
ed their speed and the Riversides were
taking their wash On the east shore
the Detroits were rowing far out of
their course. At the half mile the In
stitutes and the Riversides were even,
pulling a stroke of 80 while the De-
troits were toiling badly along in the
wash of the excursion steamers The
mile and quarter was reached first
by the Winnipegs, followed closely by
the Riversides, The finish was made in
the same order, the Winnipegs crossing
easily four lengths ahead of the River
sides, with Staten Island third Time,
first 8:15%; second, S:23 and third, 8:29.
Owing to the Riyersides having fouled,
they were disqualified by the referee,
and the second place passed to the
Staten Island crew, third to the Insti-
tutes and fourth to the Detroit crew
This race was of unusual interest, it
being the first time an international
four had been rowed at Sarat oga.
